[Q] G1 gets to recovery but not hboot - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I am able to get into recovery (anon RA) but the camera down button + power is not working for going into fastboot screen so I can find out which Radio and SPL is on there.
When I wipe and try to install a ROM it gets stuck on the T-mobile G1 screen. Is the phone bricked? Any way to fix it?
Thanks.

Boot problem

So I followed all the rooting steps did the radio first and all that jazz then chose a rom, Got it loaded up on my g1 but when I reboot it just hangs at the t-mobile g1 screen for.....well, Ever. Help? Please and thank you.
turn off phone
hold home and power, you should be at the recovery menu. wipe and flash a new ROM
if you fail to get this screen, turn off, hold camera and power. you should see 3 skating androids, tell us which radio and SPL you are using
if you fail to get this screen also, i'm guessing you flashed haykuro's SPL before upgrading the radio, and have a very fasionable paperweight

Bricked? Dream goes to bootloader.

While using spotify with x-ROM Eclair 1.0, my Dream just went to bootloader and won't respond anymore. If I remove battery and boot phone, bootloader comes up and tells me it can't find any of the images Dreadiag.zip plus the NBH-files(No image or wrong image). Is the internal flash corrupted for real or is there anything I can do to save my phone?
can you get into recovery mode, by holding the home and power key when you turn on your phone?, and is your phone how it came or do you have it rooted or anything? like info on your phone?

Since you can get to bootloader (and have the haykuro spl), I would get fastboot setup and then flash the recovery through fastboot
Man I feel kinda stupid now. Seems that the problem was that my camera-button was stuck, so the phone always booted to bootloader.

Help me please!!!!

Can you still boot into fastboot ? (remove battery if needed to power off, put it back , hold back button and press power )
no i cant. i cannot boot into any menus.
you cant boot into fastboot or into recovery?
sorry man..... brick. at least as far as i could think.
the wiki says theres a way to fix it, does anyone know who wrote it? maybe i could contact them?
Seriously? So you can't access adb/fastboot shells from your computer?
Fastboot is not a menu you access, You need to have the android-sdk setup on your computer, and need to reboot your phone into fastboot:
Take out the battery.
Put battery back in.
Hold the Back Button
Press power button and continue to hold back button.
Device should boot into bootloader, and if you have the right spl fastboot will be enabled.. (i believe thats correct)
Also, did you flash the wrong radio and then continue to flash spl?
If so, your device is bricked. But if you only flashed the radio and it's compatible with your spl you should be ok.
dude, send me your phone, im a professional repair man , i'll even fix it for free XD
The fix way of doing it you may find hard lol but it's called JTAG ^^ read on cyanogenmod wiki
where would i have to send it out too? and some type of insurance would be nice but id possibly be willing to send it out

I only flashed the radio, and then the CM6 Rom
The radio i flashed was the g1-radio-2_22_23_02 but i flashed it on EBI1 not EBI0
i tried to boot with every key combination i can think of such as camera + power Volume + power Back + Power
EVERYTHING
but it always hangs at the rogers screen

Why are you holding down all those keys ._.
hold camera while booting and give us a definitive answer on whether or not it loads a screen.
It does not work.
it stays at the rogers screen

[Q] Is My G1 Bricked?

Hey, I recently bricked my TMo G1. Flashed Danger SPL, it rebooted and sits on the splash screen now. Is this a hard brick or a soft brick that can be fixed?
No I don't think it's bricked. It's happened to me a few times. Just boot into recovery (HOME + POWER when turning phone on). Then see if you can flash it with what you had before.

It doesn't let me boot into recovery.
Try
1) home + power
2) back + power
3) cam + power
If all these options will give you only the G1 screen, most likely you bricked your phone.
Flashing DangerSPL without having the correct radio installed? Why? There are much more secure methods, i.e. CustomMTD (see my signature).

Is there any known way to unbrick it besides JTAG? Like a mainboard replacement?
I did the same- had to replace the mainboard - ONLY solution. Sorry man

[Q] Problem with flashing rom after flashing Danger SPL

Hi i'm new to xda so please bear with me on this noob question.
when i try to flash a rom after i flash danger spl, after i reboot the hboot screen flashes on for a second then the phone stays off. If i press power it does the same thing, when i press camera+power it goes into hboot and the right info is shown radio 22.22.03 etc. when i let go of the camera button it shuts off, when i try to boot into recovery a hboot sreen comes up with erase options. my only solution is to put the Rc29 file on my sdcard and boot into hdboot and flash it an root etc. please help cuz im stuck on cm 4.2.15. Thanks in advance.
