Stuck at G1 Screening

Ok so lets start out by saying i know i am not bricked because i am able to get into fastboot as well as recovery. So this all started when i tried to move to CyanogenMod v4.2.13 . At 1st i was on Cyanongen 4.2.10 which i was having some problems on so i wanted to move to a new rom. I then went to flash xROM Eclair-v1.0 which went ok but then i started to get FCs and wanted to go back to Cyanogen roms. I then flashed the 4.2.13 rom and i am where i am not. Every time i have tried to re flash the the rom i have done a full wipe of both the phone and the EXT, but i get stuck on the G1 screen every time no matter what. I have let it seat there for 30 mins with no luck at all. Not sure what to try now. Any ideas would be great.
Here is what i am running right now.
Fastboot reads
Dream PVT 32B ENG S-Off
Hboot-1.33.2005
Radio-2.22.19.26I
I am running the RA recovery RA-Dream-v1.5.1
Any help would be great thanks.

Have you tried to downgrade with dream.nhg and reroot ? I'm sure therebis better method then this too I'm jus throwing idea out there would wait for this and some one with more experince to help out.
Also did you flash the 1.6 ota before cyan rom, just trying make it clear for future questions.. Also try a different rom suggest trying superd 1.2 it's super fast and very stable

No don't downgrade using dream.nbh it will downgrade the radio and kill your phone!
You already have the DangerSPL installed, so you can't downgrade the radio anymore.
Just try to flash a ROM which was made for the DangerSPL (also called DeathSPL, HaykuroSPL etc.)

Same problem-FREAKING OUT
Hi,
I think I have the same problem and I think my phone is bricked. A long time ago I changed the two splash screen pictures and not I can't event get past the first 1. I'm stuck at the first splash screen.
I just learned that everytime you want to flash cyan, you have to flash the radio 1.6, wipe then falsh the cyan rom. I think I did some mis steps and effed it up. PLEASE HELP.
I think I have the Danger SPL that sats Dream PVT 32B ENG S-Off, HBOOT 1.33.2005 (DREA10000), CPLD_4, Radio 2.22.19.26I, Apr 20 2009,15:30:43. I have JF 1.42 recovery and been trying to update to Cm recovery1.4 but have had no luck because of these problems.
How do you flash a rom from the SPL screen with the three android on skateboards. I just need to figure this out please.

Where did you read that... It's not true.
And no - your phone is most likely not "dead."

oh phew! what should I do now tho? I just hit camera and power and then hit back and reset the device by pushing send and that worked but now it won't start again.
Should I wipe and try the same spl thing again?

Wow thanks for saying thatt I did not see that danger spl was flashed! Good catch! So yes don't downgrade! I'm sure you can flash orinial spl again too..
What you can try is super d 1.6 that requires "danger spl"

how do we go about getting a super d 1.6? what is that?

To access recovery, hold Home + Power.
If you have a ROM on your SD card (the root), flash it (ALT + S i think it is.) If your ROM requires a wipe, ALT + W wipes.
Make sure you have the right Radio + SPL for whatever ROM you run.

JGo to the develop forums and look for super d 1.6 rom.. and flash it like any other rom.. wipe factory reset then flash any zip it requires danger spl so should for those that have it.. like said its really good and pretty well stable and blazing fast

Oh i had a question,
when i take my sd card out and then go to the spl and reset the device, it worked. does that mean that there is something wrong with my sd card? If so do you know where there are instructions to reformat it?

So you get passed the G1 screen? If you have a extra sd card that's not partation use that to flash your rom(make sure it'd formated to fat32) then when you get into a rom put your partation sd back in then go to settings and format sd card there then go into recovery Amon ra and repartation sd.. Jus a suggestion too you can reformat within recovery too I jus don't kno the commands

Well what i have been trying is to get 4.2.8 back since that has been the best rom i think Cyanogen has had out, but that doesn't even work when it has always been my backup rom. Well I am about to try Super D 1.6 will report back after it.
Edit: Well SuperD 1.6 flashed good and is running but why is it that no mater how many times i try i can't get CyanogenMod to flash ok when i was able to do it before.

Ooo I liked cyan roms but notice some lags after awhile use superd is great and well worth trying it

I figured it OUT! I think my sd card was courrupted or something because it wouldn't boot with the card in but when I took it out and booted using the Danger SPL like I described a few posts back, it worked and got past the first boot screen.
Then I flash cm_recovery_1.4.img but leaving it on the sd and reinserting the sd card when the phone booted. (Oh and I flashed cm 4.2.9.1 because I heard its the most stable)
Next I reformated my sdcard and then partitioned it using the following instructions from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534714&highlight=partition+sd
Hope this helps anyone who has same problem. THANK YOU ILOST! Is yours working now too?

Forget the thread all is well again with Cyanogen Roms working. Turns out my SD card needed to be repartitioned but since i was at school all day. I wasn't able to get on a PC and download the ROM. Wonder why the card needed to be repartitioned, but whatever it works now thanks for taking the time to read the thread.

just flash the base rom then flash cyanogen!!!! or flash dwang!!!!!

Nice to hear PROD, I think you had the same problem that I had.
OKAY, now since I've been reflashing like crazy and lost ALL my old apps and imformation since I was using JF 1.5 before.
However, I backed up on nandroid before all this craze, does anyone know how to replace certain files like password safe or shipping list apps and daat on a new nandroid backup so then essentially all my old information can be on this new platform???

Well glad to see both you got working again! Congrats! Hope all will stat well I had this same problem continously. And I believe it's due to cheap / low class sdcards.. Usually when I flash from a different rom and I need to wipe, usually backup what's on sd and apps using titanium backup then format sdcard within phone the flash new rom after I repart it

Congrats to you ilost, you got this thread going well.
I used my backup but when I use that or nandroid then it replaces my recovery back to the old JF recovery and then I'm back at square one so I'm looking for a way to replace or insert certain old nandroid files into a new nandroid file.

G1 stuck in boot loop

i have a G1 running 2.1 with a nexus rom. the guy i bought it from didnt reset the phone so i could put my gmail account in. i reset the phone and now it wont get past the nexus one "fireworks" boot screen.
i cant load recovery, it gives me a triangle symbol with an ! in the middle with a phone next to it. i tried alt+w and it wont go past the nexus one boot screen. ive let it load for 5-6 minutes and still nothing.
when i try to go to fastboot (power+back) i get a 4 colored screen saying the following:
DREA100 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.000

RADIO-1.22.12.29

is the phone bricked? if not what are the steps i need to do to get my phone back? any help would be greatly appreciated! i miss my phone

Looks like he reverted the SPL and recovery image to stock, but left a custom and possibly unstable 2.1 image on there. That was pretty stupid. Since its a 2.1 rom but you have the stock SPL, its possible some system files were symlinked to locations that got erased when you wiped it.
The easiest thing you can do if you don't have experience with android is revert back to rc29, re-root and start again. The clearest guide for this is at Cyanogen's site:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
This will leave you running Cyanogen's image, not 2.1, but with a fully upgradeable and customizable phone.. you can install whatever release you like from here.
Alternatively, if you're not interested in root you can just revert to rc29 and get the official OTA updates, which will make your phone completely stock but fully functional.

right now i just want the phone to go back to "stock". if i decide to ill root it later.
what files should show on my sd card when all i want to do is go back to
rc29?
these are the 4 i have so far are these correct?
cm-recovery-1.4.img
DREAIMG.nbh
signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721 (zip file)
update (zip file)
im just doublechecking my work so i dont make any mistakes and end up bricking my phone.

If you just want stock, all you need is the RC29 DREAIMG.nbh.. reboot with [camera]+[power] and it'll apply. Then you can just go into the phone options and check for OTA updates, it should upgrade automatically.

it worked. thanks very much for saving my phone!

***UPDATE***
i just went ahead and rooted it.
the only problem im having is when i go to the dialer and contacts it force closes on me...
i can dial numbers for days but i cant save my contacts or anything like that.

htc hero 2.1update1 downgrade

got a hero 2.1update1 on .6... tried to downgrade it with no success.
tried unrevoked and root2 methods with no success... just says Killed. which usually means its being blocked... didnt know if any1 knew a method or a way to downgrade this phone
when i try to downgrade to .5 the phone reboots from the app and it just doesnt detect it after that... says its not plugged into usb... odd
tried factory defaults, etc
anything i'm missing?

If unrevoked worked, you would have a new Superuser Permissions app in your app tray

the phone keeps hanging after reboot on trying to downgrade from .6 to .5

I can repeatedly get a temp root using this method:
forum.sdx-developers.com/epic-development/adb-root-exploit-test/
which also works on a Samsung Intercept and Epic (Galaxy S). All 3 phones (Hero, Intercept, and Epic) are Sprint CDMA's.
But I can't get the root to be permanent on the Hero because the it doesn't seem to have the /system/bin/playlogo file and therefore doesn't execute the exploit on boot...
I'm open to ideas...

Hi
i have sprint htc hero 2.1 update 6 and wanted to root my phone so as to get CM6.
I installed universal one-click root app onto my phone
and in minutes, i can see super user app on my app tray.
and now, i am trying to find out if i can install custom recovery image to be able to do a nandroid backup before installing CM6.

you can. I ran into the same problem with my recently replaced hero. wouldnt do the downgrade to .5 loaded up oneclick. got root. loaded up rom manager and then flashed a recovery image from there. then I could boot into recovery and flash any rom I wanted. took about 5 minutes to do.
so now am keeping both files on my sd card just in case I ever have to swap my phone again I can root and flash before I even leave the store.

i downloaded clockwork recovery image from internet and did adb push of this image to /sdcard and used ROM Manager to flash this recovery image. initially, couple of times, the script reported error. i had to retry couple of times and then it worked.
i am now using ROM manager to flash CM6 on my htc hero. so far so good.
thanks a bunch folks for all your hard work. i am very excited it

[Q] Rooting with HBOOT 1.01

Hi,
I have the official (stock) WWW Froyo ROM in my Legend. It was OTA updated two days ago. I only noticed today that the rooted version is now available, and I would like to install it
Is there any way to downgrade the HBOOT?
I tried to downgrade RUU with the goldcard method, but when I try to flash with RUU version 1.31, it says "wrong bootloader version", or something like that.
I mean, I cannot root my phone because I can't downgrade to a rootable RUU, because of the new HBOOT.
Any suggestion?

I have similar problem, I was updating the hboot, now I ended up with f*** official froyo rom, and no root access. Can't even install visionary r14 from modaco, for acheving temp root

If it allows you to go in to recovery mode and then "flash zip", it may work.
Anyway, I don't believe temproot allows you to access the option to flash a zip.
If you are successful, let us know

I read on the official VISIONary thread at MoDaCo that someone is telling Paul that he can only temp-root with r14, but can't perm-root with it anymore.

For now no way to downgrade HBOOT 1.01 to HBOOT 1.00 or 0.43 .....
We wait for a solution ....

You should follow the instrucions from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845512
It is the same as rooting devices with HBOOT 1.00. And yes you will need to install visionary r13 or r14 from modaco and temproot your phone. I worked for me! I have new HBOOT 1.01 and CM 6.1 rom now. I've spend all afternone playing with my phone, to get it right.
EDIT: when you are doing the last step, you just have to choose some rooted stock rom that you prefer.

Well, it does not work for me
At this stage: "Phone will reboot and find LEGEIMG.zip on your sdcard, copy it into RAM and check it." my device just reboots to the HBOOT menu, without any error, no copy and check happens. It just stays there forever waiting for me to choose an option: Fastboot; Recovery; Clear Storage; Simlock.
I think that the suggested tutorial does not contemplate HBOOT 1.01. Are you sure it wasn't your new rooted froyo image that installed you 1.01 HBOOT?

Just to add one more thing.
I am able to gain root access with the temproot trick, but when I ask clockworkmod to reboot in to recovery mode, it just takes me to a big red question mark. After a while it reboots and everything is normal again.

That's perfectly normal...

Yes, qzem already presented you one. But you have another problem... bootloader can't see/find LEGEIMG.zip located on your sdcard. There were guys with exactly the same problem and some managed to solve it so it is documented right here on XDA forums.

Blow me down!! It worked!
I had to repartition, reformat and recreate the memory card as goldcard.
Now I have Stock Rooted Froyo
My path was: stock OTA 2.2 -> 2.1 -> rooted stock 2.2
Thanks

Nice to hear that you solved the problem.

Maybe you should do as I did:
-Delete all the partitions on the SD card;
-Create ONE FAT32 partition;
-Format it;
-Create Goldcard;
-Copy LEGEIMG.zip to the SD card;
Finally, try again.

Cheers will give it a try now. Any idea why you have to do this if you already have a working goldcard?
That all worked fine and I am now on 2.1 I installed rom manager 2.5.1.2 but when I try to install clockworkmod it does nothing anyone got any ideas?
maybe I should also mention that i dont have superuser.apk but i do have root check in terminal and su is working.

Now that you have 2.1, you need to root your device.
Just follow this tutorial: http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-root-the-htc-legend/
On step 9, use the rooted rom of your preference.\
That is how I did it.

Instal superuser from Market. Then open Rom Manager, FlashClockworkMod Recovery, then choose Install Rom from SD Card. Before that you should copy some custom rom(all custom roms are rooted usually) you want on the sd card.

[Q] [Help] Return to stock from 3.04.651.2 Rom

So my phone is in a bad state right now and i want to just return to stock unrooted I can only go between the bootloader and CWM recovery screens. the is no data on my sd card and now i cant even mount it to put any files on it. Right now i dont have root access. I originally wanted to go to Android RevolutionHD because i was having mobile network issues with the latest Cyanogenmod. After going through the AROMA installer for that it rebooted and stayed in between recovery and the bootloader and has been getting worse ever since. i am looking for a way to get back to stock( i dont care if its 4.1.2 or 4.3) with fastboot since i cant access my sd card (can't mount error).

I'm a old Samsung guy so I am in a learning curve myself. That being said, I had a similar situation and here is what I did....I made sure I had updated drivers on my laptop and then used Hasoon2000's all in one tool kit and side loaded a Rom on my phone so I could then get into recovery and flash the Rom and proceed from there. I am sure there is a different way but that's what worked for me.

I think so

Ill see if i can try that option. It seems like it could work if my phone decides it wants to access the sd card. then i can go back to root an later unroot once an RUU comes out.

2 options that I see...
1. get rid of CWM & flash TWRP!!! wipe your internal partiton, then try to sideload ROM or push via ADB
2. get s-off, flash the latest RUU available (1.29), then update from there

If everything is wiped, can you s-off though? Meaning, no operating system, no data, but before wiped it was on 4.3 with 1.55 hboot?

option 1 seems like it would work. I just need to resolve this device not found and cant mount sd issue.

So the stock 4.3 rom was not able to open for some reason. I then decided to try to re root and push it all on which worked but now im stuck in a bootloop. Ive wiped and all that but any suggestions at this point? should i try it with a different rom? (using paranoid Android now)
EDIT: So it seems that it is looping with other roms as well. i feel i maybe should have flashed the the stock rom prior but not sure if it was necessary. i feel like im missing one step before it will work fully again
