Hello Everyone.
My friend bought this G1 which was locked and according to his account was working fine. He got it unlocked and installed another carrier sim. It worked fine for 1 day then it started hanging. He did a battery pull and now it gets to the home screen and then just hangs there.So now when i got this set the condition was If you press "Menu" key the display show T-Mobile Locked Screen which should be unlocked by pressing twice, but it doesnt.If you open the keyboard the screen shifts to landscape mode. Pressing home + power was not putting the phone to recovery and instead it was showing a blank screen(LCD On). There was no Fastboot. The phone was on stock SPL. When i tried to upgrade the Hboot it gave the infamous RUUNBH error. Which took a day to solve through the Gold card method. finally got fastboot by orange***nbh which has fastboot. After that I have updated the Radio 2.22.23.02 with Danger SPL. and Amon RA recovery. but still the condition is same. and now if you press Home + Power for recovery the set goes to recovery but no menu is shown on the screen just " Build:" on the bottom left corner of the screen. If you connect using adb shell at this point it shows " recovery" also i have checked for root using the "su" command through adb which in turns gives another # line which means the phone is rooted. After searching for three days for no avail , Please anyone who has a clue to this.
I did a nand backup of my own G1 and then used fastboot to flash system.img, boot.img to my friend's g1. So now i do have a custom rom on it (Super E). Slight progress is that now it is going beyond the lock screen. But it is very very very slow. even i tap on the screen take atleast 2 minutes to register. And same thing with recovery still. When pressed Home + power the screen goes blank after the g1 logo and then only "Build :" is the visible text at the bottom left of the screen, whole remaining screen is blank.
I have also noticed that this set is unsealed and now i have a suspicion that this is not just a software fault. What do you guys think ???
Also misc.img, data.img ,were not flashed by fastboot. It gave an error that the partition is not available or something...

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.
was using my nexus one as i was switched it off removed the sim card from this phone placed it in another phone... left my nexus one on charge and turned it on left the room when i got the vibrate didnt even saw wether it was completly on or not... came back home saw the phone off... tried to turn it on but it wouldnt.... then connected the charger to the phone then turned it on and it shows a X and a unlocked sign at the bottom stays for a while and then the screen gets black and the same thing happens over and over again
Its going in a reboot loop I think.
Try going into the bootloader by pressing the trackball and power button together.
and then enter bootloader and then recovery.
In the recovery select reboot.
Btw do you have a nandroid backup?
I do have a backup lying around somewhere but i'm not sure of that. And i tried that boot loader thing but when i go to that menu as soon as i press the volume - button the phone boots off again
did you try the 3 finger:
pwr/vol-/trkball at same time may take up to 20 seconds to boot into bootloader
or, may need to use fastboot from command terminal and flash new recovery/rom like passimg to go back to stock then upgrade from there
pass image method is in wiki
Try this:
- Press the power button and the trackball together
- Select Bootloader and then Recovery
- Flash a different ROM (Stock\CM\MIUI\or try flashing again your current rom)
- If it doesn't work, flash a new rom AND wipe data and cache
I finally found solution! Bootloader on my phone isn't nearly same as usual one, no white screen, just a few lines which designate modes. 4 are present:
-normal boot
-fastboot
-recovery
-UART boot
I accessed it by pressing and holding power button and volume up button at the same time during device boot.
I hope someone with a same problem will find this helpful!
I managed to boot to system but I still can't get in bootloader. No combos and neither adb works.
I got my HTC One from second hand several days ago and I instantly noticed that something wasn't right. System was naked, no bloatware, no usual settings, no proper identification so I decided to install custom rom. I tried to boot to bootloader which I wanted to unlock(I guessed it's locked 'cause recovery is stock) with key combos, adb but it simply didn't boot to bootloader nor it rebooted or sometimes it went to factory mode which is on chinese. Again, I tried to find which version of phone I own but I can't figure it out. Moreover, I downloaded and put stock rom on virtual sd card and booted to recovery, opened menu with power button and selected to install package from zip just like it's said in thread but it outputted 'Install /sdcard...' and nothing else for past couple hours. Recovery isn't frozen, It shows\hides menu when power button is pressed. I tried to force shut down it by holding only\in combination with power button\volume buttons but nothing happens. I don't know what else to do...
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: It eventually discharged but when I turn it on with charger in it I get blinking white screen on every 3 seconds and when long pressing power button phone just vibrates. In combination with volume down it keeps blinking on every 3 secs and with volume up on every 5 seconds. To me, it looks like it's trying to boot but bootloader can't find anything installed. Computer is recognizing usb device on the moments when I connect it with usb just like when device is rebooting.

You have a fake phone
I agree, you've probably got a counterfeit One, but you can't flash custom roms from stock recovery anyway.
Firstly, thank you for any answer. How do you mean 'fake'?! I got it in original box and IMEI's are same(on box and device) What can I do with it then?
I tried to flash stock rom designed for stock recovery, at least that's how I understood.
MIDN07100 (Europe, a guy from which I got device claimed that it's from England so this should fit)
IMEI:354436053103493(same on device and on box, checked with IMEI checker it appears as valid HTC One device)
Hopefully you guys can help me with my problem. Recently, I downloaded the new Marshmallow app drawer from Android Pit's "Here's how to get Android Marshmallow's new app drawer on Lollipop". It was successfully installed and seemed to be working fine. However, Google Now gave me a message saying that it was not connected to the microphone and that I should reboot my device. Thinking that the actual reboot key combo was power and volume down, I did this and this brought me to the fastboot page. I selected and entered the power up normally option on the top, which the booted my phone to a completely black screen, from which only the "power off" option would show if I held the power button down. I was confused and concluded that the app drawer somehow soft bricked my phone. After reading up on the web, I went into recovery in the fastboot screen, then selected clear cache. Two lines of orange text appeared at the bottom saying that the cache clear was starting and that it was finishing. I hit the power button, tried to boot my phone up, then, recieving another black screen, brought back up the fastboot menu and tried to enter the recovery screen again so that I could factory reset my device. The recovery screen gave me messages about how it could not load the cache, and since then has been flashing on a set interval on my screen (going black, showing the broken Android with "no command" then going black again).
Any ideas on what I can do to fix this problem?
note: (I have not rooted my phone)

What is the actual model of your phone. Did you have an unlocked bootloader with TWRP?
The black screen problem can only be fixed by doing a factory reset. After you get into the screen with the dead android and an exclamation mark. You need to press power and volume buttons to make a menu appear. Then choose factory reset. Unfortunately you will lose your data, but this will fix it.

I have solved the issue... I believe it was stuck in some sort of loop with the revovery mode, because that was flashing periodically on the screen. I was eventually able to get the recovery screen to actually stay on the screen and then reset it. Thanks for the quick reply!

I have solved the issue but the actual model is the Moto X 2nd Generation Pure Editon without the bootloader unlocked for anyone with similar issues. Thanks for helping out!
I'm having the same issue today with a Moto X Gen 1 after accepting Verizon's OTA upgrade to Lollipop. Only I can't boot to recovery.

I'm still having the problem that you were facing and cannot get out of that loop sequence. I've booted over and over, tried to launch recovery and nothing... I see some yellow text at the bottom only briefly staying that something couldn't load, then back to the dead-droid/red triangle (no command) for a split second, over and over... I am stuck.

I'm having this exact same problem too! The 'dead droid' just constantly flashes over and over, so I am unable to do anything. There was one time when I held power and the low battery icon showed up with a yellow exclamation mark triangle, but I haven't been able to get that screen again. I contacted Motorola and they told me to try and go to settings and do a factory reset... I just told you I can't turn on my phone! What the hell man. I have tried so many things online and none of them worked. From what I'm reading the only was to fix this is to flash a blank bootloader, but those files haven't been released yet.
The worst part is that I have only been using this phone for ONE DAY!:crying:

How did you get the screen to eventually stay on?

okay so after several guides and steps, i finally got my Moto X (1st Gen) working again using the tutorial here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWDwyqUF6k4
Essentially i flashed a custom recovery like the PhilZ Touch recovery here http://www17.zippyshare.com/v/40132571/file.html by renaming the "philz_touch_6.58.7-ghost.img" file to "boot.img" in fastboot mode and rebooted after that.
And that was it, phone rebooted and is working fine.
Got this phone with black screen and stuck on logo issue.
When I turn it on it shows the first startup SAMSUNG M31S powered by android logo.
And the problem is that it stays like that the whole time. The letters darken a bit when its close to the final boot up of the system which is normal but it should show SAMSUNG animation not this screen whole time.
The screen stays frozen like that. When I press the power button the screen turns off and it doesn't come back when I press the power button again. I have to force restart it by power + vol down or just turning it off the normal way by touching turn off on the screen but of course the screen is always black until I power it on again from powered off state. When its plugged into the charger(powered off) it shows that its charging just fine.
The touch works. I hear things when I plug it in. I turned on talkback and when I touch a part of the screen it tells me what's happening but the screen is black the whole time.
Download mode works. KG state is Prenormal I have no idea why, its on stock rom. I flashed correct stock didn't help
Recovery also works. I noticed that when I clear cache or wipe data while it does wipe just fine it also shows this message before the wipe "pdp no scenario"
In the recovery logs I noticed this error as well unable to set property ro.boot time.init.mount.cache so that might be a clue.
Can someone help me with this one? Its on android 11. I can't flash combination file because of the error "please get approval to use factory binary(PIT) "and when I give it PIT file it says the same but at the end its (bootloader) instead ( tried patched odin same thing unless there exist a way to bypass that security.
Thanks!
EDIT2:Added one more image(recovery logs error message)
I was able to unlock it even though its black screen. Will OEM unlock allow me to flash factory binary?
EDIT: I checked OEM option and long pressed in download mode. The phone's screen is now frozen on the "this device has unlocked bootloader...." screen. It boots up just fine but it stays like that until I press the lock screen and it doesn't come up again..
EDIT2: I tried combination firmware it didn't want to flash same please get approval message...
EDIT3: I was able to install twrp. What now? I can see some green color does this indicate display damage? I also noticed this greenish tint on the stock recovery too but in download mode and at the first startup logo no green is present. Why would the display work on recovery and download mode and bootloader is unlocked on this device screen but not work past that????

I've uploaded a YouTube video. I replaced logo.jpg from param.bin with my yellow image to test the colors and as you can see it shows some green, same green as in twrp so ye its the display most likely.
EDIT:
After flashing the PrishKernel the screen is stuck but after sleep I can wake up the screen and at the bottom where the navigation buttons are there is some noise type of image the rest of the screen is black. And its responsive if I press power button the bottom part turns on and off.
Brother you solved the problem??
