Hi All,
i had rooted my G1(32B) long time back with new SPL and Recovery. I was running Froyo by lazzo lately. but yesterday suddenly it started behaving weird. I was not able to give any sort of input in touch screen or use the physical buttons(scroll, end button etc). So i switched off my mobile by pulling battery. Later once i added battery, it always goes to Fastboot/Hboot screen irrespective of button i press. Its not going to recovery screen also.
The screen display below details at top.
DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-ON
HBOOT-1.33.0013d (drea10000)
CLPD-4
RADIO-2.22.28.25
OCT 21,2009,22:33:27
and details of commands and 3 slating Androids at bottom. Here also screen none of commands mentioned works like "Menu = power off, Send = reset". It only goes to HBoot mode and when pressed "back" button give the spl/recovery details.
I had installed ADB in my system but didnt tried anything until i get some suggestion from experts. So wanted to know whether i bricked my phone. ?
Can i recovery back my mobile with some instruction or flashing radio image etc. Please help. I badly need you guys suggestion.
What was the last thing you did before it goes like that?
Hi
i removed battery as i wanted to change the phone sim. after that i switched on.and it went to Rom's lockscreen. then it started working weird as mentioned above so i removed battery again
When booting up, try holding home+power key. See if it goes into Recovery mode.
hi,
i followed your suggestion and it is not going to Recovery screen at all and always goes back to Fastboot mode. I followed ezterry's suggestion
"If you find yourself stuck without recovery!!
Dream
1) Download: orange-1.58.73.2.nbh (MD5: aca4dee0c1ece7e9773f2ecbdfbba7c0) (mirror)
2) enter fastboot and run 'fastboot flash nbh orange-1.58.73.2.nbh'
3) wait for the entire nbh to flash
4) boot into the bootloader again (it will be an engineering SPL 1.42.2000)
5) You can now re-flash the radio/hboot/recovery via fastboot that you wish to have installed."
Everything went fine and then i re-flash the radio/hboot/recovery via fastboot as mentioned above.
But still i cannot get into recovery screen. i tried many times and only once i was able to see recovery screen but it didnt hold up for long time(i mean it went off after seconds).
So what should i do ?
Try it again, this time flash the latest radio/SPL. Also, reflash Amon RA using ADB.

I flashed the 1.4 recovery image from terminal emu.
Here is what I'm running.
CM 4.1.8
radio 2.22.19.26
Now when I hold home and end it shows the G1 logo then goes black shows the G1 logo again then black then nothing happens. no text or anything. The lights on the keys do light up but nothing happens.
Any insight?
reflash the recovery image. do you have adb installed?
I have a similar problem. I was using EnochXTra, and went straight to the part where you flash the "1.6 recovery image". I figured it would wipe the theme off, and then I could flash Cyanogen's 4.1.99. But now when I hold "home", I get a screen that has (description) "a triangle with a "!" in the center of it, facing a phone laying down" (end description). If I don't hold home, I get to where it says "Android" and it starts cycling (not rebooting, just the word "android"'s animation freezing, flickering off for a split second, then resuming). in both situations I have to pull the battery to get out of them.
Anyone know where I failed and how badly?

that would be the radio updating.......
what phone region do you have? can you access bootloader? Cam + power
to op, the recovery didnt flash right. do it again
Cam + Power? Yeah, I can. It's the only thing i can reach.

how exactly did you flash this "1.6 recovery image"?
I changed the name to "update.zip", rebooted while holding "home", then applied "update.zip from sdcard".
... I screwed up big time didn't I?
No that's the correct way to do it. Just making sure you didn't flash_image recovery ........zip in the terminal. Since you can reach the bootloader (Camera+Power) follow THIS
K, I managed to flash the update.zip, and now my phone works. I renamed cyanogen's rom to update.zip, but under the recovery mode menu (the one with the triangle and "!"), I don't get a list of options, but when I go "alt+S" (like I did earlier) it "tries" to flash but gives up less than a second later. Also alt+W wipes and reboots.
While it's working, I installed cyanogen's updater, but when it tries to get root, nothing happens. Did I just unroot my phone?
Do you have USB Debugging enabled?

Yes. When I checked, it was enabled by default.
hmmmm. and what rom are you running?
http://developer.htc.com/adp.html
I used the recovery image as per cyanogen's instructions for version 4.1.99.
ah ok, have you installed 4.1.99 yet? ADP1 handles root requests a little differently.
No. While at the recovery screen (with the triangle and "!"), i have the update for cyanogen at the / of the sdcard named update.zip (like I have for all roms I've used), but alt+S won't do anything.
can you do this?
1) Goto the market and download "Telnet"
2) Open Telnet and connect to localhost : 23
3) type su (enter)
4) type flash_image recovery cm-recovery-1.4.img (enter)
5) Press the home button

I don't see anything that says "spl".
look at the sticky for fastboot, you need to use fastboot to flash cm-recovery-1.4.img
I have a rooted G1 I was using Enomther's HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83 ROM And Cyanogen's 1.4 recovery image....when all of a sudden while i was trying to text on the slide out keyboard only the letter E,F, and D would work so i tried rebooting my phone...it stayed stuck at the G1 screen and kept rebooting itself I took out the battery and tried to boot in recovery and did when I tried wiping the phone it would not let me press the home key to confirm the wipe...so i just rebooted from the recovery screen the phone turned on but it did not load any of my widgets and said safe mood at the bottom left hand corner and only the power button worked on the phone.....so i put the DREAIMG.nbg file on my sd card And Booted W/ Camera +power and it got to the screen but when prompted to press the power button to perform the reboot it would not do anything so I took out the battery again and now everytime i try turning on the phone even in recovery it just keeps rebooting at the G1 screen then after like 10 minutes it turns off.....Anybody Think The Can Help?
which spl are you using? You could use fastboot to flash a nandroid backup from before you're issues started.
Not Sure Never Flashed Any ROMS That Require The New SPL Did Not Want To Brick My Phone...SO I Am Still Using The Hard SPL I Flashed When I Rooted My Phone
If you're using the HardSPL you should be able to use fastboot, you'll also have to have fastboot setup on your computer, you can check out this thread for some good info on that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
also you'll have to have a nandroid backup from before you're issues started, I can provide you with a link if you need some good back up files
My Phone Won't Load Into Fastboot It Does The Same Thing Just Stays At The G1 Screen And Then Turns Off
your first post said that you were able to boot you're phone using camera+power ?????
Yea I Was Able Too Once Just Like The Recovery But Now It Doesn't Load Anything It Just Keeps Rebooting After The G1 Screen
do you have adb installed?
Sounds like a hardware problem, maybe some buttons are stuck.
Hi,
I am sorry if a simmilar thread is already available, but its just that i wanted to include my exact setup of recovery, etc so that the problem can be solved, as i am getting very anxious to fix this, as i cant afford a new g1.
Every time i turn on the phone, it hangs at the tmobile g1 splash screen. I am running android system recovery utility build jf v1.41 (not official android recovery)
I tried flashing the cyanogen mod v5.0.8 in the recovery, but it aborted installation and installed cyanogen mod 4, but when it rebooted, it was still stuck on the g1 screen like before.
i also have hard spl on the device and the radio version is 2.22.19.26I
when i hold the camera button and power button to power on the phone, a white screen with green skating androids appears and the top reads:

Somebody please help, I would really appreciate it.
Thank You
Go to the rom bible and find Amon-Ra's recovery, than it will have instructions on how to flash a new recovery via fastboot(YOU NEED THE SDK INSTALLED). Remember to wipe before flashing and please post this in the Q&A section next time.
have you tried entering recovery mode? when at said splashscreen press green+menu+red at the same time and imideately after that press the home button
Ok, recently I rooted a g1 version 1.6 ( Donut), I downloaded Rom Manager. I downloaded their recovery so I can boot up in recovery mode and do a factory reset. But I couldn't do to the fact that when I pressed the back + power bottom it didn't boot up in recovery mode, I tried also pressing the down volume + power didn't work neither, tried up volume + power didn't worked neither, all of the 3 tries fails. the back + power sends me to the bootloader mode. and the others don't work.
So tried to download a custom ROM, while that happened I forgot about it and decided to change the sim card to another carrier, I did not know if the download was finish or not. But when I changed my sim card and tried to turn it on the the phone started to loop in the G1 LOGO, i know its not brick, but some how I cant do a factory reset.
Because I was not able to start the g1 in recovery mode, I wasn't able to factory reset. So what is left to do? Can someone guide me, Please.

Thats all my G1 shows in the bootloader. Can you actually update the radio, or bootloader, to a more updated version, or to a old version so that way it might lose the root, or so that it can return to a state where u can access the recovery mode.
You said you can access bootloader. Then using fastboot push recovery. For best results erase the sd card before putting recovery file in sd root. In fastboot do an "erase system r-w" and then push recovery. Hopefully it will work.
If you dont know what fastboot is or how to use it, you should thoroughly search and study fastboot guides for G1 in XDA.

ok for g1 t's
Home+Power=Recovery
Back=Power=Fastboot/Bootloader
Camera+Power=Hboot/Bootloader
what happened exactly when you prssed Home+Power? did you get a yellow triagngle and this thing ! ?
if you did that means you have stock recovery, you need to hold 'alt' and press 'L' on the keyboard to access recovery options..
so try that and tell me if you get anything to happen.?

no, i did not receive that, i cant access recovery mode by pressing back+ power.
@ dhacker809 - Reading your OP, one thing that you should not have done (happens to me when I first started) was trying to use ROM Manager. It will lock you out of Recovery mode. Amon RA is the best recovery option from my experience.
If Camera+Power option works, I would suggest that you re-flashed nbh file and start from there.
BTW back+power will not give you recovery mode.
You Are The Best

That Worked for me, Thank You So Much.
You are welcome, I am assuming that everything works well.
I installed the eViL-NXSense-HD-v.1.1_BETA in order to get HTC Sense on the Nexus One. I followed the instructions set out on this forum post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791151 I got everything up and working and it looked great. After approximately 2 weeks after I had everything working, the phone restarted and would only boot into hboot mode. The volume up/down and power button are no longer responding, so I am unable to get into recovery or and other mode for that matter. I can't get into fastboot either. I tried pulling the battery several times for different lengths of time (2 days being the max) and still would only boot into hboot mode and the buttons pushes would not do anything. Is there anything I can do to recover this phone, or is this one bricked?
One other thing I noticed. After one time rebooting, the buttons did respond and I was able to get into recovery. After getting into recovery, the track ball would work, but I couldn't push it down to select anything. After about a minute, the screen flickered and I lost all control again even though it was still in recovery. I am assuming something happened to the hardware, but wanted to post here first.
Hboot Screen shows the following:

Your volume buttons don't function well - most likely VolumeDown is stuck, and that's why your phone boots to HBOOT and you're unable to navigate there. It's most likely a physical problem, not SW.
In that case try booting up while holding vol+ that way the phone might get confused since it thinks that only one can be pressed at a time then maybe it will boot into the ROM, just a theory may or may not work but it's worth a try. And if it boots then you'll know.
Also try holding the trackball when you boot up it might boot into fastboot then from there you can fastboot boot recovery.img
