To start off, yes I know that there are several threads describing the rainbow screen situation, but none of them go with what happened to my phone.
I have a white G1 that I bought off somebody else. On friday I downloaded an application and after i turned it off because I was in a meeting. Once I turned the phone back on it was stuck on the rainbow screen giving me the following error:
DREA100 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-1.22.12.28
Sep 2 2008
Serial0
I don't know if this phone was rooted before, or anything. I have tried to flash it back to RC29 but nothing works.
I have tried the following:
Format SD card to FAT32
Put the DREAIMG.nhb file in it, and the update.zip
Press Home + Power then i get the triangle with the exclamation point.
then Alt + W to wipe (once i this it automatically goes to the rainbow screen again and then it jumps to a grey screen with blue letter and tells me to press Power to install the DREAIMG.nhb image).
The file installs fine and once its done it tells me to press the action button to continue. When I do this it goes back to rainbow screen.
After this i tried running the update by pressing Home + Power and then Alt+S but the update gave me a failure. I tried this several times and nothing happened. I'm still in the rainbow screen.
Please help
Those instructions are wrong, I don't know where you got them but try the guide that is sticky at the top on this forum.

The DREAIMG.nbh file isn't flashed in recovery.
Format sdcard to FAT32
Place DREAIMG.nbh file on the root of your sdcard (NOT in a zip file)
Turn your phone off
Hold Camera+Power
follow on-screen instructions
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 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

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.
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...
So I Have a rooted CDMA HTC Hero rooted with WildHeroC RC4. I was cleaning my phones memory up and decided to get rid of some apps. Then I decided to replace the HTC Sense home screen with a windows home screen just to have something different. I backed up the last set up I had using clockwork mod. When I went to uninstall the HTC Sense home screen I used titanium backup pro. When I pressed one of the options to (i think it said) "permanently remove or uninstall" the Sense home screen the hero went into some recovery thing showing a box with an android next to it and an arrow coming out. There is a yellow progress bar at the bottom that gets to about 1/4 the way finished and then starts over completely and does this repeatedly. I tried taking the battery out and putting it back in and then press the power and down volume but it just goes back to the same screen. What happened and can I fix it???? Please help!!!!
Ok first off YOUR PHONE IS NOT BRICKED. If your phone was bricked then it would not come on at all. If your phone turns on It's not bricked. Now do you have a nandroid back up ?? Also what recovery were you using ??? And do you have adb setup ??
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
I don't think I have a nandroid backup. And I was using clockwork mods recovery or at least the default one that comes with it. I think I do have adb set up. What do I do? Please Help!!!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You should definitely check to see if you have a nandroid backup stored some were it will help you with your current issue. Also when you refer to the default cwm did you mean that you downloaded rom manger and flashed a recovery??? And are you s-off or s-on ??? Also do you have adb set up ?? And are you able to boot into hboot?? You do this by
Powering off the phone.
Then press and hold the volume up key.
Then tap/press the power button.
You will see a white screen. That's your hboot screen. To get you back up and running you can find a HERCIMG.zip of cwm recovery or Ra's recovery, drop it on the root of your sd "as in not in any folders" and flash it threw hboot if your s-off. If not then you can look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=958968
For how to flash using fastboot with s-on. Or if you have adb setup you can search for the recovery.img of cwm or Ra and flash them threw adb. Once you have your recovery back you can perform a full system wipe by wiping
cache,davlik-cache, and data/factory reset. Then either restore your nandroid or flash your rom of choice. I think your recovery is screwed up and also your rom I'm thinking is screwed up as well. If you can't find the recovery zips or img's let me know. Hope this helps.
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
I think I have S-off. I also think I have a Nandroid backup (I backed up my rom and all my apps and data using rom manager)- is that nandroid backup? When I press the power and down volume button it goes right back to the loading bar and NOT to the menu. I can not boot into hboot. As for the recovery I did load it from Rom Manager. So what do I do. I have adb loaded.
You have to boot into hboot to find out I'd you have s-off. Via my post above. What happens when you try to boot into hboot??? Also have you tried holding the power and home button at the same time for at least 15 seconds to see if you can boot into your current recovery?? I forgot to ask you that in my other post. Also no that's not a nandroid however I believe you can restore that zip if its a zip that rom manger made with cwm.

I have tried holding down the home and power button but it does the same thing. It will not let me boot into hboot. It goes strait to the screen showing a white box with an arrow coming out of it and a android standing next to it. There's a loading bar at the bottom that keeps loading up to 1/4th then goes back to the beginning and it does that over and over again.
That's not how you boot into hboot. That's for recovery. To boot into hboot do this.
Power the phone off.
Press and hold the volume up button.
Then tap/press the power button.
Just tap the power button don't hold it.
Only hold the the volume up button. Then you should boot into hboot.
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
I did what you said (Hold up volume and pressed (not hold) the power button) and it still does not go through hboot.
What happenes ??
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
It shows the HTC screen for a few seconds and then It goes strait to the screen showing a white box with an arrow coming out of it and a android standing next to it. There's a loading bar at the bottom that keeps loading up to 1/4th then goes back to the beginning and it does that over and over again.
