G1 not starting up

So I tried rooting my girlfriend's G1 and it didn't workout so well, so now I'm trying to fix it for her (I feel terrible, my poor android friend.. I mean my poor girlfriend!) . I rooted it and it was working find, but I wanted to flash a ROM on there. I tried flashing CM5 following the directions on the wiki. I made sure I installed Amon_Ra's recovery and did a nandroid backup. Then I flashed the DangerSPL. 2 things then happened, when I tried starting up the phone it would just hang on the "G1" startup screen until I pulled the battery, and when I went back into recover it switched back to the old recovery I had after root (JFv1.42). So I can't go back. But when I go into Fastboot, the HBOOT is at 1.33-2005, which indicated the DangerSPL was flashed correctly. So should I flash CM5( or 6 or 7) now? I just don't wanna get the phone to a point where it's unusable (unless it is already) =/ Can you guys help me out?

If you can go to hboot, everything should be fine. Check again, that you have a 2.x or 3.x radio installed (should be the case, because otherwise I doubt you would be able to go to hboot).
If this is the case, you can flash what you want. Probably I would flash Amon-RA recovery first
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <amon-ra.img>
To be sure, that you have a clean phone, I would do an
Code:
fastboot erase system -w
Then you can boot into recovery and flash the ROM you like.

Your girlfriend G1 still fine.
The CM5 that you have flashed is not compatible with the SPL(HBOOT)/radio combination. (to my understanding) That is why it gets stuck at G1 screen (that had happens to me).
For G1, you can only flash up to CM 6.1 (to my knowledge), Cyanogenmod 7 will not (according to the DEV) works on G1.
You can try other ROM, recommending ezGengerbread, or Gingerbread Yoshi, and also my favorite (I am currently using it.) SuperAosp DM 2.8.2.
You will need to use 2708 SP and 13d radio for the newer ROM.
First load the radio, then the SPL. After both have been flashed (you can check it in the fastboot mode) then flash the ROM that you want.

You have to connect the G1 to the PC and run ADB. Then flash it using the command line indicated.

No, it's not adb, it's fastboot, a different program, but you are right, it's a program that runs on your PC. You have to make sure to have fastboot installed. Then open a command window and enter the commands above having your G1 connected to your PC and beeing in fastboot mode (boot with back + power).

@ AndDiSa - Sorry for the short explaination, I should have explain in more detail.

Alright. I'm on Ubuntu so I'll let you know how it goes. I'm gonna install SDK/ADB/Fastboot now

Have fun.

So a problem with flashing amon ra's recovery. My fastboot (or adb) aren't recognizing my G1, but they recognize my EVO, which is strange since they're both HTC..

Hmm, someone post an instruction in one of the forum that I saw yesterday. Not sure which one. It would fix the problem you are having with not see your G1 on ubuntu..

You can solved your problem with unroot like me.even my g1 lost function home & call button.

left without recovery

I am stuck without recovery i accidently lost it while trying to flash another recovery..now my phone doesnt boot..so is there any other way to flash recovery without rooting again..i tried flashing it via fastboot but im using hboot 1.33.001d so cant flash anything there...as the verification fails..can does anybody have an idea how to skip the signature verification..

As written in this thread you can flash the
orange-xxx.nbh via fastboot, then boot the rom and you have a full engineering SPL installed. From there you can continue as you want, i.e. flashing new recovery, new SPL, new rom, etc.

which firmware will i get after flashing this..and fyi i am using g1 us version..

I just thought of one other thing to try first. Install Android Commander on your PC. I have successfully reflashed Amon RA recovery with the new radio/SPL from there - there's an option to flash a recovery from your hard drive.
http://androidcommander.com
Failing that, you'll need to start with the nbh, then flash radio/spl/recovery using the instructions provided by Ezterry for installing the radio/spl.

It's a frensh one, but you will not boot into it, because you'll boot directly into bootloader/fastboot. It's only needed for the engineering spl.

all you do is flash the orange nbh so than you can wipe recovery and flash new one... than you want to flash your radio(2708/2825) than flash spl pretty simple and very convenient lol was in same situation couple days ago

i already have it but it does recognize our device if it is on i tried this procedure but of no luck so im back to the nbh method..

does the nbh flashing take a long time...

na it doesn't take long at all it really easy.... you are doing the orange nbh right?

do you have fastboot drivers set up? because you need those... lol

can you still boot up your phone? cuz if you can, what you do is go to rom manager and flash the CWM recovery from that

no idea about the fastboot drivers i just diconnected usb and now cmd says that status read failed <too many links>>

so you dont know if you have fastboot setup on your pc...?

yeah i think so but i use android commander and everything via usb..
and yes it was about 30 mins i waited nothing happened..

it says verification failed i attached an image of that

ok power off the device and reboot to fastboot mode, rename the orange file you have located in the sdk/tools folder to 'orange.nbh' now get to the fastboot cmd and type 'fastboot flash nbh orange.nbh' tell me what happens after that?

[Q] loading custom recovery woes

Alright, I officially feel like a jerk right now. I RUU'd my hero. . . lost root. . . spent ridiculous amount of time trying to GET root back. . . and now I'm stuck with GodSpeed Recovery Darchstar Edition. I've tried EVERYTHING to get back to CWM. Well, hopefully not everything. ROM manager free doesn't show up in the market (for whatever reason). I can't get it to side-load the .apk at all (astro doesn't recognize the file at all). I'm S-OFF but making a HERCIMG.zip with the recovery.img enclosed doesn't work. When I try to push it through fastboot, I get FAILED: remote not allow.

Is there a place to toggle signature verification in that recovery? If so, turn it off and flash cwm.
You could flash a rom then download rom manager and flash cwm recovery

Well just sign my recovery zips and you can flash. Also you don't fastboot flash HERCIMG.zip files. You place them on the root of your SD card and boot into the bootloader. They also have to include the android-info.txt inside with the recovery.img as well. Next time you need to reroot just use z4root and manually reboot or OneClick root. Here is an alternative way to flash.
Install Busybox.
Download Terminal Emulator.
Place the recovery.img on the root of your SD card.
Enter these commands into Terminal Emulator:
Code:
$ su
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
私のEVO 3Dから送信される。

A slip of some wording there. I was trying to flash the recovery image in fastboot, and attempting to get hboot to pick-up the HERCIMG.
I tried z4root. . . claims it's rooted, but I can't get rom manager through the market. Side loading doesn't work and neither did the previously mentioned options.
One-click gave me the recovery that I'm currently attempting to replace. I can't load any of the latest ROMs with that recovery, and there is no way to toggle signature verification either. I have no idea which ROM's I can flash.
Searching for clues on the .txt file now. . .
thanks

Use my terminal emulator way to flash a recovery.

That worked dastin. What's funny is that I was able to flash CM6.x last night. Once on the phone, I saw that ROM Manager was installed. I flashed CWM through that application, and went to bed. It stated that the installed recovery was 2.5.0.7!!! This morning, I rebooted into recovery to find GodSpeed still installed!!! :lol:
At any rate, your terminal emulator method flashed the 5.2.0.7 image for me. . . and I thank you for that!!! I'm still fairly new to all of this, so what I find on the internet is what I know/learn so far. \
Nandroiding now!!! Flashing zerohero momentarily!!!

Remember that different recoveries put their files in different folders so that Clockwork would not find it if the recovery image isn't in the /clockworkmod/backup folder. Did you reflash 2.5.0.7 in clockworkmod? It will always say that is what your recovery is when you are using a custom recovery.
Also, when using Hboot, make sure that your HERCIMG.zip isn't written as HERCIMG.zip.zip. This won't work and you also need to have an "android-info.txt" in the zip as well if you are making your own, not just the recovery.img (and it can't be named something like GL-recovery.img. I use Dastin's Orange Corps 4.0.1.4 recovery
I have made all of these mistakes in the past. I leave a HERCIMG.zip on my SD card at all times just in case there is a problem and I have some I can flash from recovery. It has saved me a lot of time and trouble when something unexpected has happened.

Well, this all started with my wife losing her 4 month old Evo 4g. . . yay. I had to RUU the hero so she could use it while I found a replacement. I tried a bunch of different ways to get it to activate while on zero hero to no success.
I was trying to flash CWM with GodSpeed. It never did stick. ROM Manager stated it flashed 2.5.0.7 when I was finally able to try that.
What I really don't understand is why I couldn't flash the recovery in fastboot. I kept getting "FAILED: remote not allow" after the flash command. I'm quite sure I was flashing that correctly. Anybody have an answer for that?

I realy hope that you guys can help me, because i want to go back to stock or just install a rom so i can use my phone again.

You're not f***ed, dude You can get your recovery back by flashing a new one trough a PG32IMG.zip. To unroot your phone properly it's not enough to just flash a RUU. I once found a great guide on the internet but it's in German. But it worked for me, so it's definitely possible

plz tell me how , because i already downloaded a pg321img from somewhere but that failed, and i`m now downloaden PG32IMG_VIVO_ICS_35_S_HTCCN_CHS_4.08.1400.2_Radio_20.72.30.0833U_3831.17.00.24_M_release_264218_signed.zip is this the good one?

The red triangle with the exclamation mark is the 'fail' indication in stock recovery, it seems that your ruu has written the recovery but has not written hBoot which is why your hBoot reads 6.xx (revolutionary). My advice is to get a goldcard micro sd card and re flash the ruu using a pc (provided that your inc s can go to hBoot USB). Then you will be unrooted to stock.
Edit.
Downgrade from pc using goldcard and USB mode. Use a gingerbread ROM, preferably from your region, or English WWE and not the ICS Chinese ruu, unless you're from China.

How'd you get s-off using revolutionary? Didn't you make a goldcard for it? There's an excellent tutorial in the sticky section on how to make a goldcard. If I remember right, it takes just the 15 min including the time it takes for the revskills site to email you the IMG file. Best of luck.

OK, here is what you need to do:
1. Boot the phone into FASTBOOT USB mode and then flash ClockworkMod recovery image using the command:
fastboot flash recovery [path to recovery.img]
That will restore ClockworkMod.
From there you can either restore a previous nandroid backup you made or flash a new custom ROM.
Here is the link for ClockworkMod recovery image:

re edited to top post

Your battery is dead and cwm doesn't support off-mode charging, hence the reason you get the orange light but only for a moment. You can't charge the phone while its off..and you incorrectly flashed a custom rom. If you can find a way to charge your batt out of the phone you can fix this by either flashing the proper boot.IMG for the ROM from fastboot, or by running the appropriate ruu and starting from scratch. I highly recommend doing the s-off procedure. Its not difficult, and it makes customizing the phone so much simpler.

Boot to bootloader (pwr and vol-). Does it say locked or unlocked? Does it say s-on or s-off? Select recovery. Does it still boot to custom recovery or do you get the android with the exclamation point? If the bootloader says locked, and you get the android with the !, you need to unlock the bootloader, fastboot flash a custom recovery, boot to that custom recovery, and flash your ROM. If bootloader is s-on, you'll also need to fastboot flash a boot.img that's compatible with the ROM you're flashing (can be found in the ROM's .zip)

When you boot to bootloader, scroll down and select recovery. What happens?
As far as flashing the boot.img, when you downloaded the ROM's .zip, inside the .zip should have been a file called boot.img. You need to drag that to the directory where you have fastboot installed, boot to bootloader, connect your phone, select fastboot. It should now say "fastboot usb". Now in the directory where you have fastboot and boot.img (with neither selected), shift+right click, choose "Open command window here". You need to enter "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and hit enter. Then reboot

At first, thaaank you so much for your help, i feel so lost....
Ah ok i understand, you mean the "[ROM][ICEss v 0.4][Stockish ICS/SENSE 3.6" -that is what i downloaded.
When i am in the bootloader menu and activate recovery the htc symbol appears with a white backround...nothing more happen for minutes
unfortuneately there is not boot.img in this zip
I did the whole procedure with the Vivid_All-In-One_Kit_v2.2 and not fastboot.
Ok i now downloaded fastboot and put it to c:/fastboot
I do what you say and reach your point " It should now say "fastboot usb" thats right, it works. But i dont have the boot.img where can i get it?

unfortuneately there is not boot.img in this zip
I did the whole procedure with the Vivid_All-In-One_Kit_v2.2 and not fastboot.
Ok i now downloaded fastboot and put it to c:/fastboot
I do what you say and reach your point " It should now say "fastboot usb" thats right, it works. But i dont have the boot.img where can i get it?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There's not a boot.img in the zip you downloaded? Then you need to read the thread and see what kernel they recommend, get the boot.img, and fastboot flash it. You're getting close.
It sounds like you may have lost your custom recovery along the way too (in which case more may have broke) - you'll need to get a custom recovery .img (wcx or twrp) and fastboot flash it (fastboot flash recovery <nameofrecovery>.img). Then fastboot flash boot.img, then boot to recovery and reflash the ROM and hopefully you'll be all set.

Thanks again, im getting closer! I read the whole thread and found that "Holics_Kernel_0730_S-ON" is recommended. I downloaded and found the boot.img I put it in the fastboot folder.
But i dont understand what do you mean with "you'll need to get a custom recovery .img (wcx or twrp)"
Do you mean the recovery i created with my old working Gingerbread or a recovery form the custom rum i downloaded?
When last, where can i get such a recovery.img?
Hey man btw. you gave me so much hope at the moment, thats incredible, thank you!

Check the dev section. Everything you will need is in the stickied threads. Twrp recovery also has its own thread

Okay i'll do meanwhile there is something new. I create use fastboot, the boot.img of the new kernel and do it with the command line like you said.
The phone now boots one step more to "htc quietly brilliant" and then restarts over and over again to this screen, like a loop.

ahhh i reach Android System Recovry with several menus. I didnt find any help in google what i have to do now.
Backup google propritary System, nand backup, Nand Restore, Restore google proprietary System? Or something else?

No.. at this point you should wipe cache, dalvik cache, system, an data. This can all be done In Recovery's wipe menu. Them recovery should have a flash zip menu. Flash the ROM .zip

Put the brakes on!
I saw gingerbread...
When you boot to bootloader...
There is a line labeled hboot
What's the number next to it?
If its 1.85... you good...
If its 1.83... thou shalt find an ICS ruu for your carrier.
Almost none of the ROMs you find here run on 1.83

Good catch!

Hey,
i bring it to run! I restored every part manuall...system, cache, data. Only restore boot didnt work. I suggest its because Rom Manager/ClockworkMod didn't created such a file (boot.img) So i downloaded a custom kernel für Gingerbread.
Vola, handy startet, Os is on. Loggin into network worked!
BUT! I cannot use Wlan/wifi or mobile networking. I suppose its because the rom right?
I mentioned that i have the same phone here from my girlfriend.
How and can i make a boot.img of her phone? Please tell my how and then i have finished everything i hope

You can't. S*on devices can't flash boot.IMG or back up boot.IMG in recovery. You have to fast boot flash the boot.IMG. this is also why wifis broken
The kernel and ramdisk and some other things are packed into boot.IMG, and are made by ROM or kernel devs. Actually now that you're booting, you can use an app called flash image GUI to flash the boot.img

Ok I expressed something wrong, sorry (im not a native speaker u might noticed long before ^^ ). So i try again like I said i did the manuell recovery of everything except the boot.img.
Thats why i loaded this kernel for Gingerbread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351717) and installed the boot.img with fastboot "flash boot boot.img"
Fastboot said well done. Phone startet.
I think i understand what you are writing, but i dont understand which boot.img do you mean i need. I have no boot.img from my backup before flashing with custom rom without this boot.img i cant flash the not working one of the ICS on my phone am i right?
So thats why i thought i can take the phone of my girlfriend, create a boot.img and use it for my phone. So thats the only problem, i need working boot.img and then flash with fastboot oder the app you mentioned How to get the boot.img
