it seems like you're pretty bricked.
Please give more information on your procedure.
If you cannot boot into recovery (home + power) or the bootloader (camera + power) then it is most likely bricked. If you have insurance, just tell T-Mobile that your phone told you that there was an update available, and when you clicked OK, the phone restarted and then you were stuck at the G1 screen.
um
well i dont know anything how to flash cyanogen
on the jachero page it said get the latest spl so i updated and after that canot go into recovery
so i only have warranty no insurance

if you dont even know what your putting on your phone, you kinda deserved it...
Use your warranty, tell them there was an over the air update and ur phone ran out of battery in the middle of it.... and read up/think before doing something like that again...
theres really nothing you can do now. You need to give us more detailed procedures if you want a second opinion
well
i did know what to do but since i already have the latest radio then i just put the spl and if i get another g1 if i already have the hard spl do i need to put the latest because igot the hard spl from another forum but since the jachero page told me to update it i did that maybe i dont have the latest radio but no since anymore and thank you i will tell tmobile i got a ota but didnt the ota thing stop like 3 weeks ago i dont think they will believe me that i just got an ota barely

So? Just say that you had your phone off for a few weeks cuz you went on vacation and chose to bring another phone for safety's sake, and when you got back, you turned on the phone and presto! OTA update...

1) Use full stops, 'cos that's near impossible to read.
2) No, hard SPL will not work you need Haykuro's SPL.
3) Your phone will only have bricked it you had the old radio OR you did not have a PVT board. Did you look in the bootloader before you flashed the new one? I'm guessing not.
4) Luckily there was a security (I think it was security) update that was just released, so they shouldn't qustion it.
ok sorry
Ithink the warranty will cover it
I would go with the OTA story especially since there was just an OTA update released that has been pushed to phones over the last few days. I know a few people who also didn't read up before they started flashing and they too bricked their phones however, the OTA story worked most of the time. This is really your only choice seeing that you don't have insurance on the phone. Good luck
Just use the OTA story again lol
Tmobile wont hassle you too much about it.
Make sure you download the Radio that Haykuro provided, flash it, then boot into the bootloader to make sure it reads properly. Also verify that you have a PVT board.
Put the update.zip with the SPL on your phone AND VERIFY THE MD5 CHECKSUM (you should do it with the radio too actually)
and continue to follow the proper directions.
If you brick after following that, use the OTA story again but stick to HardSPL lol
what is checksum and pvt board?
Alanrocks15 said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
PVT board is the board that won't brick when flashed with the Danger SPL. Just another design. You can check your board revision by booting into bootloader (camera+power).
md5 checksum is a special key that is tied to the file that is generated based on that file. If the file that you downloaded is corrupt or different compared to the original file, the md5checksum will be different, letting you know that you need to re-download the file or risk a brick.

"how to root, flash recovery cyanogen, parition sd to fat , ext2 and 3 , how to flash radio nd spl and install jachero"
is this a good post?
Thanks guys this helped a lot wow its been almost 2 years so yea thanks a lot guys
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
right i know how i bricked my G1
did spl before radio .. so the outcome is basiclly it hangs on the screen thing
i passed the phone down to my little brother so hes been using it for some time i ain been on the g1 scene for quite some time until yesterday he started ranting on bout me upgrading his system to the Hero ports
my main question was is there a way to recover this problem
or am i going to have to go tru my friends at t-mobile
thanks in advance
1) You posted in the wrong forum. How is this post in way Android Development?
2) Learn to use periods. It's hard to understand what you are trying to say.
...So you bricked your g1?
Sorry, nothing can be done.

Shaji... 1st off how is your little brother using a "bricked" phone? If it is bricked it can't be used let alone have the ROM updated to the Hero ROM's. Also there are several threads over in the " Dream android development " that should provide you with PLENTY of information that you seek... good luck with T-Mobile...
peace
...tell T-Mobile you got an OTA update and phone never booted past the first screen after. You're phone is bricked ,get a new one.

I did the same thing the night Haykuro came out with all his new stuff for that. I flashed SPL before radio, but I was able to fix it. I'll pull up the email I worked out with him, PM me for it.
Disconnect usb, take out the battery and plug it back it, connect usb, boot the phone into the recovery mode, go to the console.
Enter then type this: echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
You now can access to ur sdcard from your computer, download a rom, change it to "update". Reboot the phone again, now try to wipe and install the update. After you install the update, flash the radio first, then the SPL. Let me know how it works out for you.
thanks for all the information people
@shaji007 Your post is quite confusing, can you tell us what you did in order? Can the phone get in to recovery (power+home) or the bootloader (power+camera)?
@phuthanvinh If you brick you can't get in to recovery.
@lukekirstein You know how to bring bricked G1's back to life? This I gotta see...
right basiclly
i followed the guide how to downgrade root n hack etc
did all that
then upgraded to one of JF builds
then i was going to install the hero ports that have been flying around
however this is my fault i wasnt really concentrating and i upgraded the spl before the radio
so yea its bricked on there
i just thought xda might have a way of fixing it back up
getting it replaced with t-mobile is of course no problem but i dont want to go through the hassle

Hello everyone,
I have a rooted g1 and I was putting on the 2.1 rom on my phone. I was following a guys instruction off of youtube but it totally messed my phone up. Now its stuck on the pitcure with the open box pointing a yellow arrow on the phone right next to it(the update screen), what do I do??? Thanks for your help.
You dont even have root then...If it shows what i think your taking about....You should follow this simple enough my little brother(7yr) could master it:

If you had root why did you flash the radio again?
That gives bricks applying radio after having root is pointless.

But you have to have a custom recovery image before you can flash either of those.

Ahh you might brick, you seem to have flashed the Radio made for HTC hero not G1....Notice the title: "How to get Android 2.1 on HTC Hero"
To use Hero 2.1 on G1 it shows it here @ XDA, you only needed Haykuro SPL and the 26I radio/
If rec mode is working then you arent brick or if you can get into bootloader.
how do i get in rec mode or bootloader
Hold down home when turning on the phone=recovery
Hold down camera button while powering on= bootloader
If you can't get into either one of those, likely bricked. I know with WM devices flashing a radio for another phone is one of the fastest ways to brick your phone, Android seems to be much more forgiving, so hopefully you will be lucky and if recovery and bootloader don't work, you can possibly get ADB to work.
If you don't figure out how to do this BEFORE you do it, you will likely brick your phone, if not sooner, soon enough. Doing it along with a video isn't enough to make sure you won't brick your phone.
Read through the steps of rooting, flashing a basic, stock ROM, do that a time or two, and then get into the more up-to-date stuff.
Your method of going about a new task is going to... well, it isn't going to work, unless you are really, really lucky.
Hi,
I got a G1 Root/mod with DREAIMG-RC29, it was working with all functions, then I was trying to put SuperD 1.8
As did this:
1.Flash Radio (2.22.19.26I Baseband Version: 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I)
2.Flash SPL (1.33.2005)
agreed this tutorial forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=613809
3. Then I format my 8Gb midroSd as quoted in (androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/)
4. when I was flashing the new rom(SuperD18-blk), I did it as usual: change name from "SuperD18-blk.zip" to "update.zip", power off, power+home, alt+w, alt+s.
5. An error came up, something like error in line 59, something with E:/ bla bla, or something, i didn't read it 'cuz suddenly the phone restart itself.
After this I can't go to console or recovery mode.
I tried:
-Home+power to go to recovery mode.
-Home+camera button with RC29 on re-formated FAT32 SD card.
-Go to recovery trough abdshell, but my computer doesn't recognize the device so is not possible to get into the phone via PC.
Now the G1 is in the same situation: T-mobile G1 screen, so, I want to know if there is something that I can do to recover this or, maybe other way to roll back to RC29.
I'll appreciate any help, is sad to get stucked between the heaven and hell!!!!!!! The bad thing is that I don't got any log!!!
Cheers..... Alecks
Use fastboot with an old nandroid backup
RC29 includes an old radio image not compatible with 1.33.2005 SPL. If you had 1.33.2005 on the phone and reflashed RC29 when your update failed, the phone is most likely bricked.
dude most likely you are in deep dookey although there is probably still a chance if you can see the Tmobile G1 Screen.
dont be too scared just....dig a hole in the ground...just in case lol jk

Wrong, if all he can see is the G1 screen, he is bricked.
Welcome to the " I Bricked my G1 Club"
Say hello to your brand spanking new paper weight, pretty ain't it?
Tis a harsh world in which we live.
Seems to be a hopeless case!!!!
I will keep working on the G1, earning money for the nexus maybe!!!!

Is there any way to push the files into the phone with Eclipse? I got it even SDK, but I don't know how to do it exactly. The main issue is that the phone is not recognized by my PC currently, I think I have to perform some steps.. any idea?
Hi all,
I’m in desperate need of some of your wealth of experience, i have managed to root and flash my g1 with - rc9 JFv1.51_CRB43-EU.zip (Jesus freke), and recovery-RA-dream-v1.6.2.img recovery image!. Now i want to update to a newer rom!
Now for the problem, the recovery program allows me to flash many of the rom's available but none of them work after the flash completes it just loads the g1 screen and stops there i have left it on that screen for about 10 min’s and nothing at all happens, but then it will allow me to flash back to rc9 JFv1.51_CRB43-EU.zip absolutely fine no issues every time?. Do i need to install anything else before updating to Open Eclare 2.1.1 or SuperD1103-blk.? I’m in the UK with a UK g1 mobile if that makes a difference?

Just use the top three wipes available in Anon's recovery menu: Wipe System/Data (1st), Davilk Cache (2nd), Ext Partition (3rd). If you haven't partitioned your SD card into FAT32, Ext2, 3, or 4 and Linux-Swap, do so now with the Recovery menu. You must backup your fat32 first, because a total repartition will totally blank your data. Good luck!

This is YOUR FAULT for NOT READING!!!!
You installed an SPL meant for an HTC MAGIC onto your HTC DREAM. It *CAN* be made to work, HOWEVER, you failed to read and understand what is required to actually do it safely.
SPECIFICALLY, you are stuck in boot mode 3 -- boot to recovery, and because you changed the SPL, your recovery partition is UNABLE TO BOOT.
You are BRICKED, and the only way out is to use a hardware interface called "JTAG", which requires you to disassemble the phone.
SPECIFICALLY:
You missed the part of that thread that says "MOD EDIT PLEASE READ THIS THREAD FOR UP TO DATE INFORMATION".
I have no sympathy for you. That instruction is in big purple letters.
hi thanks for your info, do you know anyone or anywhere i can get my phone jtagged?
How could you mess it up with step by step instructions....lol...I am being dead serious....it doesn't get more clear than this.
IMPORTANT: Before going any further make sure that you have PVT board. You can do this by rebooting your phone and holding the camera button. The first line should say "PVT" if you see "DVT" then DO NOT flash this because odds are you will get a brick but If it says "PVT" then you are good to go.
First you are going to need to download the latest radio and the SPL. both can be found here http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/ There is also a new radio that is compatible that can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=640535
Prior to starting the installation process please make sure that your battery has a good charge. Also DO NOT pull your battery out at anytime during the installation process. I know it seems like common sense but I read a thread where someone had pulled their battery in the middle of the installation process and they ended up with a brick.
Now that all that's out of the way lets get started!
1. Copy "ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip" or "G1-radio-2_22_23_02.zip" and "spl-signed.zip" onto the root of your SD card.
2. Reboot into recovery. I suggest using the RA-dream recovery you can download it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566669
3. Wipe your phone "factory data reset" (this step isnt really necessary since your phone is wiped after flashing the SPL but I always like to wipe before flashing anything)
DO NOT SKIP THIS NEXT STEP OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE
You must have the latest radio "2_22_19_26I" or "2_22_23_02" to flash this SPL if you already have the latest radio you should not have to flash it again but it will not hurt if you do flash it again. When in doubt flash it anyway.
4. Flash the Radio "ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip" or "G1-radio-2_22_23_02.zip" it will install and then it will ask you to reboot to finish the installation, so reboot, it will then finish installing and then reboot back into recovery.
5. Flash the SPL "spl-signed.zip" it will install and then ask you to reboot to finish the installation, so reboot, it will then finish installing and reboot into recovery so you can flash your ROM
i cant get in to fast boot or recovery i just get the g1 screen, if i press camera and power or if i press home and power i just get the g1 nothing else

Did you follow those steps when flashing the SPL? Did you even flash the radio before flashing the SPL?
It sounds like you have no idea what you did to your phone which is never a good sign (and usually means you shouldn't even be flashing custom radios/spl's/roms)
no i did not, i was asking for help for the last 2 or 3 days? i did what i thought was right but it was not. can i fix it or not?

Sigh....I would go buy another phone off Craigslist or something similar.
Next time...please read before flashing....Although I'm sure you will after the last mishap.
the only way to fix your phone is to buy a doner phone with a broken screen or something cheap off of ebay
there is NO KNOWN WAY to fix it without a doner (the jtag method isnt do-able yet)
I know here in town...there are so many G1's up for sale around the $150 mark in really really nice condition.
That's where I'd be looking if I bricked my G1. Well...I'd be replacing it with a HD2 probably...lol

Please READ. You are from the UK so your English isn't bad. You have no excuse for not following instructions.
Ways to fix your phone:
1) motherboard replacement
2) JTAG (experts are not anywhere near you though)
3) buy a new phone
