Help, phone is bricked??

i searched the forums and couldnt find a thread on how to unbrick the G1 and i dont know if there is one, but i tried to install a ROM i think it was like G3 or soemthing like that. and i installed the radio and after i installed the SPL thats when it stayed on the G1 T-Mobile screen. what can i do to fix it? thank you

well you probably have a brick. can you get into recovery(home and power) or bootloader(camera and power) if not, you have a brick.

yes i can get into both of those. home+power and camera+power

When you click on Camera+Power does it look like android skateboards or is it the rainbow screen? If it's at the skateboard screen what you'll need to do is load a ROM to the sd card. After you install the SPL it leaves the phone with no rom. Find an SD Reader and put a rom on it. Put the card back in the phone and boot into recovery (which hopefully you put on 1.4 so you don't have to rename the ROM to update.zip) click on flash any zip choose the one you see there and then allow it to install. Once it's done reboot the phone and you'll be good to go!

There's your fail right there. You sir, have a brick. Might want to look into a new phone.

since you can get into recovery, go to the recovery console and type
Code:
ums_enable
that will mount your sdcard, then put your rom on it. and type in the console
Code:
ums_disable
that will unmount your sdcard. then type into the console
Code:
reboot recovery
then once you get into recovery again, flash your rom and you should be set

What you need to do now is
TAKE OUT THE SD CARD, PUT A ROM ON THERE (A STABLE CYANOGEN ROM WOULD BE THE BEST) REBOOT INTO RECOVERY (HOME AND POWER AT THE SAME TIME) AND APPLY THE UPDATE. thats assuming you have recovery 1.4? IF NOT rename the cyanogen rom "update" if your using vista (without quotes) OR "update.zip" (again without quotes) if your on a mac. then reboot into recovery, apply the update, and reboot. that should work.

You don't need one!!
as David said, go to the recovery console and plug in your usb cable.
To enable usb mode type:
ums_enable
To disable usb mode type:
ums_disable
make sure you do use ums_disable before "reboot recovery" so you can flash a ROM.

i went to recovery and typed that but nothing happens. it just has the list of commands like alt + w, alt + s, alt + l...and it doesnt do anything
do you mean bootloger mode?

what does the background of your recovery screen look like? is a orange triange? a picture that looks like it could cause a seizure? or a green android?
try hitting alt+x to get into the recovery console

Which one is the "ENTER OK" Key ?

im trying to wipe my captivate at the moment, booted into the clockwork 3e recovery mode.
vol up down chooses the menu but what button to "Enter" ? Power does not work, thanks

screenshot

how do i get out of this ? Vol up down buttons work, but no enter button ... home etc... nothing happens.

It's one of the bottom four keys... menu or back
-edit-
Oh, I see the other keys don't work.
When I saw something similar, one of those keys worked for "enter". If no keys work for enter, these are the options I know of:
- Hold up+power to reset
- Hold up+down+power to reset in to recovery
- Hold down+power to reset in to download mode (where you can flash back to stock with odin)
- Pull battery

worked, thanks.
how do i come into the green recovery mode ?
and should i wipe cache also before flashin new rom?

To get to the green recovery mode, make sure you have the install.zip file in the internal sd. Then in regular recovery, click reinstall packages. You may need to press it twice.
If you don't have the install.zip file, boot your phone, download ROM Manager from the market and select the option, Flash ClockWork Recovery.
Once this is installed, each time you go to recovery, it takes you to clockwork recovery mode automatically

If you have recovery in your phone
(shutdown your phone and take battery off and put it then in To phone, then press Volume down and powerbutton and you will get white bootloader and search green recovery and choose it by pressing power Button it will open black with Blue letter recovery. If you have recovery Download the rom and in Roms thread are instructions to install the rom.

How did you find out that your phone is rooted?
Moreover, write following information here:
Bootloader: locked or unlocked?
HBoot:????
S-Off or S-ON???
You can this information by doing following.
Switch your phone Off. Press Volume down button and power button. This will take you to a screen where you can find this information. Put your information here and wr'll take it from there onwards

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1429241&highlight=and - This is what is installed on you phone. So you know. Not that this helps anything but just so you know it isn't some random thing no one has heard of
Now the recovery these guys are on about is something that has to be installed on the phone for someone to have installed this 'OS' (ROM). If you do as many have said and power the phone down. Remove the battery. Place it back in and whilst holding volume down and power wait for it to get to white screen with coloured text. If it boots as normal you have done it wrong Once you in this screen use the volume keys to navigate up and down and the power button to select. Navigate until you are over the Recovery option and use power to select. The phone will reboot and go to what is known as a Recovery. Chances are this is a customer recovery which allows you to install new 'OS' (ROM).
If you have this it would be easier for you and everyone if you download the stock rooted OS. Now you don't really need to understand what root is etc. I am sure you could Google all of that. But what you have to do is download it from here. Once it has downloaded you need to move the .zip file to you SD card on your phone. Just plug your phone into your PC and drag and drop it to your phone's sd. The SD card in your phone is virtualised so although you may not physically have one the PC recognises it as an SD card.
Once you have moved it to your phone. You need to unplug your phone from the PC. Get your phone back to the recovery, using these instructions again:Power the phone down. Remove the battery. Place it back in and whilst holding volume down and power wait for it to get to white screen with coloured text. If it boots as normal you have done it wrong Once you in this screen use the volume keys to navigate up and down and the power button to select. Navigate until you are over the Recovery option and use power to select. The phone will reboot and go to what is known as a Recovery.
Once you are there continue to use the volume up and down to navigate and power to select. You need to select 'Wipe Data/Factory Reset' option. Then select 'yes' Once that is done, you need to select the 'Wipe Cache' option. Again, select 'Yes'. Once that is done you can install the 'OS'(ROM). Now you select 'Install zip from SD card' then the option 'Select zip from SD card' Navigate and find the .zip file you moved to your SD. Select it, then select 'yes' After that it will do some stuff. Once it's finished, select 'Go Back' and then 'Reboot System' that should work.
If you don't want to do that then you can download the RUU file that fshami already linked. http://www.filefactory.com/f/2c6cbf04d4909b70/ - Select the one named 2.31.401.2_Europe. Once it has downloaded you need to ensure you have HTC drivers installed. Best way to do that is download HTC sync and plug your phone in. After it has installed the drivers and verified your phone you're good to go. Plug your phone in, find the RUU file you downloaded. It will be an .exe file. Right click on it and click 'Run as Administrator' Follow the steps on screen.

[Help] Unlocking bootloader D-405N

I use this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-flash-custom-t2839690
But I cant find recovery.img on my phone and I use another recovery. Now I want to go in Recovery Mode but I have only LG logo and in left up corner is:
[490] fastboot_int()
[590] USB init ept @ 0xffdc000
[610] udc_start()
Besides when I restart phone, my phone turn on normally. I think that the fault of a bad file recovery.img. Someone can send me recovery.img on D-405N? Or help me with this problem? Best Regard, Damian.

all of them, its for all lg l90 D4xx devices.
I recommend using this one TWRP_2.8.4.0_160115_L90.img

Ok It's done, thank you. But i have another problem... I put on my SD card ROM but Team Win Recovery Procjet doesn't see zip file. Why? SD card must be in Ext2?

sd card should be in fat32
make sure you are looking into right directory, in twrp you can choose between internal and external sdcard. if you cant see it on external memory try putting it into internal.

I have another problem... -.- I install ROM but when i turn on phone is LG logo, T-mobile logo and I wait and nothing. Someone can help me?!

which rom did you install?
maybe try to do full wipe and reinstall it

But how can I go into Recovery Mode? System stopped on T-mobile logo..

just pull your battery out
and this how you can get into recovery, its from that thread for unlocking bootloader etc
HOW TO BOOT INTO RECOVERY PRESSING VOLUME AND POWER KEY
You can reboot to recovery via flashify app or following key combination: -
Power of your phone press both Volume Down + Power Button same time, As soon as the LG logo appears release both buttons and immediately press and hold same buttons (Volume Down+Power) again. Now Factory data reset screen will appear saying "Erase all user data & restore default settings?". Use volume down key to select "Yes" and press power button to confirm and now you should be in recovery.
