Do NOT flash anything
Sent from my HTC Vision

Take the phone, put it the street in front of your house, lie down next to it, start counting mufflers. No more problems.

whats funny is when you are in custom recovery you can mount your USB storage. if only the OP was wise enough to actually read instead of just watching some fkn videos....

It's not the video's fault, the explanations on them work just fine. You just can't expect a video to install things for you.

I ^%%* it up

Guys, I don't have the original image and the only image I have on my SDcard is eclair 2.0-1.2
I am just upset with the OP for providing insufficient instructions and I am very unaware of the previous setup required before doing it so.
I am in recovery mode and my G1 keeps rebooting over and over since I wipe the factory default.
I apologize for not using the search button because I don't see any answers, or maybe I just want direct answer.
Sorry, I have to ask this, how do I recover the image on my G1? I have it connected to my PC but it's currently in recovery mode right now.
Please provide me detailed step to step what I need to do. Thank you for your time and effort, this is upsetting me big time.

Stop blaming the guys making the ROMS for your own F-up.
Learn to read the instructions.
ALL of them.
Don't blame them for the fact you didn't read THIS :
first you will need these things haykuro spl,ext3/linux-swap if you dont have it and if you do wipe them clean
The please provide links for those kinds of software.
I am really upset that no one will help me

You should be upset at yourself for not reading the clear instructions that are inherent in nearly every ROM update procedure. READ the instructions.

Searching forums before diving blindly into processes like these will certainly save you frustration and a bricked device. Again, blaming someone else for your laziness isn't exactly the route you should take.

For future references post in Q&A thread or where is the ROM u flashed is, Provide some info if u need help.

Since you're too cocky and too ignorant to do most of the things on here, I suggest you put your phone back to stock as soon as you figure out how to flash images. Get the "recovery image" from here http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html, then go ahead and get a card reader, drop the file on the reader, rename it update.zip, boot into recovery, alt+s to flash it, alt+w to wipe, then reboot.

ok then go here and set up adb after u done follow the link in my sig to flash RA 1.5.2 recovery. After u get RA recovery find the rom u need to flash id suggest Cyans rom or WG and make sure ur SPL and RAdio is uptodate.
Good luck.

Someone please help newb with brick

I have been looking through the threads, and havent seen what I am looking for. So hopefully i will not get flamed to bad. I tried to install mikeymikes GR12, I got through the first stage of downloading the gingerbread rom to the phone through odin, but then it went south. I lost root and was unable to get back to the download screen. I then tried to use the all in one tool to root the phone, and that put me to the recovery screen where i could not use the ok button, just the volume up and down buttons. I just managed to get the download screen to come back, but i cant get anything else to work. Any suggestions on what to do, where to go from here.
Thank you for your help
I would go back to stock first. I believe your problem lies in the bootloaders. There are two bootloaders in the beginning and if you don't have the gingerbread ones installed, you won't install gingerbread properly.
I would use DesignGears One Click Odin to go back to stock and load the Froyo drivers. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989. Make sure you open up Odin first before plugging in your phone, then hit the Start button.
Once that is done, you can try again, but read about getting the GB bootloaders installed properly before you try to flash a GB ROM. Any of the GB ROM instructions should get you there. Just make sure you know all the steps before you try it again.
Good Luck!!
I don't see why you would be flamed for your question. That is what Q&A is for and you are in a bad spot. The biggest thing to remember is to be as specific as possible when you post a question. This includes what you were trying to do, what steps you took, what was the result, when did the problem occur (which step) and what you have tried to do, if anything to fix it.
One more thing. It is always possible that the USB cable is bad or that the USB port you are plugging into (on the computer) isn't working properly. You might also want to plug into a different USB port.
Sorry these posts are broken up, but as I'm coming up with ideas, I'm posting.
Here's something you should try:
(I wrote this for Team Phoenix, hence the sig.. But it works the same with every ROM. There's a link to a very nice tutorial I suggest you follow).

Me too. If we can ... Remember not all things can be recovered from so please read everything twice before ever touching your phone.
10-4. My next question is: where do I get froyo from. Kies sees my eclair version as unregistered, so it wont update. And my ota sees an update is needed, but when i tried, the area im in has crappy signal, so the update failed and now i have to wait 24 hours to do it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks again
are you planning on flashing a custom rom?
if so updating to official froyo is A HUGE WASTE OF TIME
EDIT:are you Canadian by chance? if so check this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979133
I only plan to root the official froyo right now, that is what I had before I jacked it up. I am not Canadian.

Going on official froyo will get you the signature failed error (which you need the 3e recovery fix if you ever want to flash a custom ROM).
So, basically, if you want more than 2.2 official release. We suggest you don't update. If you're perfectly fine staying on 2.2 Froyo, then there's no problem lol
As for Kies, you shouldn't have any problem using Kies mini. Other than that, there is a 2.2 flash around here. I'm sure you'll find it doing a little search
I had root on my official froyo for a couple of months without a problem. Right now i cant get my phone to go into download mode, it only goes to the battery screen. If i can get to download i can make some headway

If the battery pull way isn't working. You could always go read on abd. It send SU commands and you could get your phone in downlaod mode that way.
Is there an easy way to get adb without getting the sdk. I downloaded the sdk and it keeps saying i need java, when i download the java crap it says the same thing.

bricked rogers captivate? help please

Hey, I was updating my rogers captivate through the kies software from 2.2 to 2.3 and the software stopped at 34% for 2 hours...so I quit the program and unplugged my phone. When I reset the battery, and turned on my phone, there is a weird pc!phone icon and I cant get the phone to work. I am not sure what I should do now... I never rooted the phone or added any custom ROMs to it. And my 1 year warranty is up. Please help and thanks!
You are soft bricked. If none of the methods found here work to get in to dl mode you need a jig. Don't ever use kies.
i can get into dl mode, but i have no clue what to do with it :S
You can send it for warranty since it broke with kies (assuming you don't mod it). Or fix it yourself with ODIN.
is there a guide that I can follow to address this problem?
Nope, there are definitely no guides to help on this site.
^lol 10char
Thanks for the links, but they didn't really help me with the problem because I wasn't able to follow some of the steps. I can't boot up my phone to put the rom inside the internal drive. I have basically the same problem as this guy http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1395437. I can go into download mode, but not recovery mode. May you give me a bit more of a guide on where I should start/follow? thanks!

not one of the 3 required any usage of putting a zip file on the phone, and every one of them is how to recover using download mode
SMFH.......
2. Find a neat-o ROM from Captivate Development Section and get it onto your internal SD card (the one you cant remove) download using phone internet browser or download and copy to phone using PC.
thats from the 3rd link... and the first link were just the ROMs for that...
The 2nd link is telling me to download this APN app(no clue what its for) from the market... I don't want to jump at any steps if I am unsure of any of them...

so what you are saying is that you are incapable of comprehending the DOWNLOAD mode and the ONE CLICKS to get you back to stock so that you could load a rom???
i mean, cmon, you have to learn how to educate yourself a little bit. nobody here is going to hold your fkng hand and spoonfeed you this info....
there is literally a PLETHORA of knowledge on these forums, all you have to do is learn and try to UNDERSTAND what it is telling you to do. Not just blindly follow some tutorial/walkthrough/video that doesnt explain WHAT you are doing.....
this site does not exist as support for stupidity or laziness. it is here to HELP people that are willing to HELP THEMSELVES.....
Don't know what is the big issue. You want to go to STOCK not flash a rom. Just follow the instruction of the 3rd link until step 10. Done finish stock. If its a 1 click its even easier. There are a ton of stickies. Flashing can screw up your phone if you don't know what you are doing.
Edit: PirateGhost beat me to it....
if i was a noob, and i just 'bricked' my phone doing something stupid, yes, i would panic. i would search google, which would bring me here to xda and i would search and figure out what i needed to do. this is because i do not need anyone holding my hand for anything. but before discounting anyone's assistance it would behoove me to do a little damn research and by the power of deduction realize what it is EXACTLY that i need to do.....
Okay, so I followed the 3rd guide and I am stuck on step 13 for the odin method. I cannot find a ROM inside Onix Recovery, so can I download any ROM and put it into the EXTERNAL sd card? or does it have to be inside the INTERNAL sd? because I cannot access the internal sd card. Also, is it normal for my phone to have the AT&T World Phone logo at boot? because I am from Rogers...and not AT&T. Will this affect my phone in the future? thanks
You just wanted stock WHY are you using recovery?

[Q] Noob issue

Guys, Im tearing my hair out here. I have been all over the site for some for of comprehensive answer to my question, but everything I find is making me more confused. So please don't make any cynical "use the search" or "we don't search for you" comments. I am asking for help, not sarcasm. Surely this is the point in a Q&A forum?? They say you only get the right answer if you ask the right question, but I'm not sure what questions to ask. So, Now that's out of the way...here is my problem.
I am using GT I9000, and until last night I was using v2 Paranoid Android on Devil Kernel. I set it up initially with the help of a friend, but he is lost as far as getting this problem fixed...hence my capitulation to asking the forum.
I flashed what I thought was the latest PA Rom, but it turns out that it was the latest CM10, so yeah, you guessed it, wrong ROM. I am now caught in a bootloop and unable to get back into recovery in order to flash from zip, or to delete the data folder in order to get rid of the PA data to allow the boot to continue. I am using Clockwork Recovery, but cant get it fired up.
I saw that apparently I can delete data from within Odin, but I cant find out how to, so I then went to see about going down the root of reverting to stock and starting again, but I cant find a stock rom as I m getting an error 404 on the Samsung site and all the links I am finding for a stock rom are directing me there.
Also, when trying to revert, I have JW4, but I don't have the phone or bootloader for it and cat find them as I am not 100% of what I am looking for, and I am also unsure as to whether or not I am needing a pit file in order to re partition. But even when I revert I will be looking to reinstall Paranoid, so is this even necessary.
As you can see, I have a little knowledge, but a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Right now I am looking at a flashing brick that is taunting me....If there is an easy way for me to get into clockwork recovery, I'm sure I can go from there, but I really I am at a loss, and cant think what questions I need to ask to rectify this situation.
Any help that I can get would be most appreciated...
Thanks
G
[edit] I have since posting this, taken the bricking to a stage further. I am now looking at a black screen with a fone and computer icon with a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark between. I now have to go to stock....please help. I REALLY need to get my fone back in order... I needs it for work. Thanks again.
Hi, i tried to PM you but it seems i cannot send private messages yet.
anyway, you have the jw4 right? install it via odin and before that flas a root kernel for acces the recovery

i see there have been like 100 DL's of the toolkit, yet no feedback?? im assuming everything is working well? I dont have a factory cable so i am i bit leery to try this out
Well holy **** that was an adventure! Most definatly didnt work all the way. Process seemed to work, but upon a reboot I was greeted with the "red screen" I have now read so much about lol
Didnt have to make a cable, it did install the bootloader so I caught dl mode from that and restored it (literally took most of the night of reading and trial and error)
will see what happens now. rebooted twice now, still looks normal.
