So i just updated to an SPL for a Hero ROM, and now i'm stuck on the t-mobile G1 screen, i can get to the console, but if someone can walk me through how to mount the SD card using ADB (from the very begining) it would be a great help. This way i can try to update the firmware, or resort back to the original radio/spl/firmware. I need a very easy to understand set of instructions, because every time i have tried to do something with ADB it never goes well.
all you need to do is re-flash your current rom your using no wipe needed.
Whats the command to do that, i've been trying to load the new ROM onto the SD card through the command prompt. and it doesn't seem to want to work.
Bassicly i use the adb push command to try and shove a ROM on to the SD card like this
adb push JAChero2.0r6.zip /sdcard/JACHero2.0r6.zip
and then i change the name to update.zip and it still applies the OLD SPL update.zip file i have in there.
Try removing the old update file first through the adb shell. I have run into a couple instances where it is doing what you are describing. I always found that removing the current file first will resolve it.
adb shell
# rm /sdcard/update.zip
# exit
adb push JAChero2.0r6.zip /sdcard/update.zip
Then try to flash the update through recovery.
Got it fixed, THANKS!
im stuck at g1 screen as well....what did you do to fix this?
Im stuck on G1 boot screen, cannot get into FBOOT or anything!
What can I do??
if none of the button combos work like home+power or camera+power or any others then you can either call tmobile and play dumb or have the sweetest paperweight at the office.

Will it cost me if I contact tmo?
I'll play it dumb, but when the phone ends up at some engineer, and they see what I've flashed on, will they just fix it, or report it to tmo? (as i've broken the t&c's!)
As much as having a paperweight sounds cool, I could really do with a phone!
BTW, thanks for your help!

If the phone won't boot using home + camera then they can't prove it's been rooted (unless they somehow read the nand...) so they should replace it for you without charge.. Same thing could happen if the battery was pulled during an over-the-air update.
they wont bother checking anything, just be sure it is bricked and your good. Most likely they just take it apart and jtag it or something like that. And if you got the phone from tmo and are with them then no its free.

Yep, it wont boot using any key-combo.
Its reading the NAND/using JTAG which is what I'd do (i work with embedded devices!).
I might say the battery died while the update was happening, gotta act dumb! (which I must be for managing to brick it in anycase, after all, Im a softy-eng!)
And I'll get a new phone! Or reconditioned?
Many thanks ppl!
Well.
If you manage to help this guy (http://twitter.com/r3nrutSite/) and the ppl on this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309291) to JTAG the G1, please tell me.

Tp2 brick eny help??????
plis help
i was unlocking my phone (the HTC Touch Pro 2 <sprint>) and I was using a Diamond unlocker , but during the process there was a connection error and now my phone seems to be bricked. I can't get it to even turn on, get to a bootloader screen, or anything even remotely close.
The one odd thing that it does though, is when I connect it to my computer, it pops up and my computer recognizes there is a device there. In my Device Manager there is an unknown device called: Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM. I have tried every combination of two buttons, including holding down the reset button with all of them, but nothing gets me anywhere.
If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it. there's eny way to save it???

I am unable to root my G1 at all. I can not get it to load any of the "root" files. It is a PVT board. Everytime I go to load the DREAIMG.nbh, it just does nothing.
Anyone got suggestions? I need to be able to flash the custom roms. It is a T-Mobile model. I have tried multiple SD cards already. I am getting a bit annoyed.
I do a lot of stuff with the Tilt and Android personally. This is seriously baffling me.
Thanks for any help.
try redownloading the img
are the sdcards class 6?
are u getting into bootloader mode correctly (camera + power)
what are you currently running?
more details
Try to use the guide in my sig. Its much quicker
As said above, more details are needed.
Try redownloading the file, and copying it over to the SD card again. If you are using the USB cable that came with the Dream, be aware that every one I've seen does NOT have a ferrite bead on it. This causes problems and can corrupt the file.
If you know how, md5sum the file on your PC and after copying it.
Does any error come up in the bootloader when you try flashing it?
K, I am using a DREA100
I did not use a usb cable (used a sd card reader)
I get "image not found" or something to that nature in the boot loader then it goes to strips.
I have dealt with HTC for a LONG time...I have been doing it since the Apache. I never could get this to work.
Yes I am using Class 6 cards. I do IT development and I need the speed.
I will try the suggested guide.
Thanks for all the help. I didn't realize there was an easier route. Also I was actually going to message you david, but I didn't want to feel like a complete noob haha.Thanks again.

What can i do now??
plz help me
This is the HTC Dream aka G1 forum. You're looking for the HTC Magic forum.
Nonetheless, if you can't boot the phone into recovery or fastboot, then you're pretty much hosed. I'm actually trying to unbrick a G1 right now, I can't even get into fastboot/bootloader to try and reflash the phone. Really sucks for me because I had just flashed a G1 the night before and it was flawless. Same directions, different results

Many myTouch users actually live here. 99% of users in the Sapphire section are 32A so any 32B problems will be better answered here.
However, yes you are bricked as freakingwilly said. Just off of a radio is quite funny, though. My only thought is that you got hold of a bad one and flashed it.

I didn't know that the Dream forum was home to the Sapphire users.
If I recall correctly, the boot order is RADIO > FASTBOOT > SPL. So if the radio is hosed, there won't be any real way to flash anything else (unless you use a JTAG, but that's a little more advanced than what the OP is looking for).

Well, like I said, it was only if memory is serving me correctly that the boot order is indeed RADIO > FASTBOOT > SPL. The only way you'd be able to fix a SOFT brick is if you were able to boot into fastboot/bootloader (Camera + End Call) or recovery mode (Home + End Call). From recovery, you could just reflash the radio or roll back to a radio that works. If that didn't work, you'd boot into bootloader, reflash the OEM NBH file, and start fresh. You lose all your data, but you don't lose a phone.

There might be one option left... turn on your phone and connect it to your computer. If your computer recognizes the device, then you can use ADB to push a working radio to the phone.

As for your other comment, Sapphires come in 32b and 32a. Most 32b users dwell here.
As for bolded, some people have had luck issuing a fastboot command and leaving it sitting all night only to find it to be successful in the morning. You'll get a "Waiting for device...." for a loooong time and there's no assurance this will work at all and chances are slim to none.
Of course, you can send it in for warranty or buy another G1 with like a cracked screen or in real rough condition and replace what ever's broke from your old G1.
sounds like i'm realy ****ed up with my phone =(
hmm... i try something, if doesn't work the only way will be a new one i think...

Hi, glad to hear you had success!
Exactly what did you do to achieve this, step-by-step?
startup and boot modified recovery
first computer found not device,
but i saved the nand back up files on root of sd,
booted device, also only vodafone screen,
but now i came in recovery, w/o fastboot.
My only prob. is now,
my sim don't connect to network -.-
this phone is jerking me....
and idk what to do =(
someone know how to fix?!
best regards,
psycho
This actually great news for you. The reason your SIM won't connect to the network is because the radio you flashed to the phone is not designed for your phone, which resulted in the "soft brick" you were experiencing before.
All you have to do is flash the correct radio for your phone through the recovery mode and you should be back in running condition.
Would you mind sharing how you got to the "boot modified recovery?" I am sure this will help people unbrick their devices as well.
i can't find an old radio =( can someone give me a link?
i've posted the way in another thread about a bricked g1
but i tell you again
i've tried all, i found...
but aber a few nights spending to my phone,
i found this:
1. copy your nand backup to root of your SD
2. Start you phone (should only boot, till vodafone screen)
3. Connect phone to computer (message: device not known)
4. Boot modified recovery with Z3kos recovery helper.batch
5. Wipe
6. Flash old Radio (DO NOT WIPE AFTER THIS)
7. Flash Rom
STOP FLASHING RADIOS. You need to FASTBOOT them. Please, if you're going to root, indulge yourself in the knowledge.

When i tryed to unroot/unflash my phone back to stock something went wrong.
Now when i try to turn my phone on i can only see this "G1 t-Mobile" loadingscreen and nothing else happens.
Ive tryed booting with Home+Power, with Camera+Power and a normal booth, nothing works. Replaced the SD-card with an other one (1GB), first formatted FAT32style, didnt work. Afterwards i put the DREAIMG.nbh file on it and tryed it, but still didnt work. Im all out of options.
Can someone please help?

Ok guys ... this is the problem ...:crying:
I have (had) a Droid Bionic running ics leak 232 in Brazil (GSM/UMTS ... thanks to xda developers - "bionic in t mobile" thread).
While messing around with the phone connected to linux (baaad idea) at some point I deleted the bootloader ("happy finger" + lack of knowledge os linux).
Now, my phone doesnt power up and RSD Lite doesnt recognize it when connected but, when I connect it to the PC, a green light lits at the top right corner of the phone and Windows recognize it, at the device manager, as a OMAP4430 USB under TI Board tab. This leads me to think that some kind of life still exists down there or, the hardware is alive and waiting for the right software.
After a long quest for a solution, I found this: "forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f634/unbrick-dead-samsung-gt-i9250-galaxy-nexus-gt-i9100g-via-usb-cable-freeeeeeeeeeee-1465412/index9.html".
Now I think this is the way out of this mess (is the same hardware, OMAP platform from Texas Instrument), if exists any, but this was made for Samsung, by Samsung technicians, and doesnt apply to Motorola. :crying: again.
So, is there anyone who can help me, or have any idea of what can be done (other than trow it away or use it as a paper weight)?
Any help would be most appreciated.
Regards
I saw you haven't had any replies yet. My roommate had a similar problem, he managed to mount his system partition automatically and thought his SD card was partitioned into 10 or more partitions.
So he reformated the mount and had a dead phone right after, said he only got a small white light on his notification light when plugged in.
I didn't get a chance to check it out before he took it to Verizon for a refurb, so sadly I'm not much help. Just thought I'd input anything I knew since you still had an empty thread. Hope it comes back alive!

Have you tried using the command line version of moto-fastboot? It might work, but might not work... I think you need to boot into fastboot mode, but I could be wrong... Either way it's worth a try.

Thank you for your answer danifunker;
The phone is dead. Pressing buttons does nothing. The only thing that happens is to lit the notification green light at the top right corner of the screen WHEN a plug it in my PC and windows keep telling me this is a unknown device. I unsuccessfully used OMAPFlash, but installing the usb drives that came with it, when I plug it to the PC, windows device manager shows me a new device "OMAP4430 USB" under a new tab "TI Board" , whitch is not recognized by RDS lite or adb or fastboot. Is only recognized by OMAPFlash. If you dont know about OMAPFlash, I found it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1701471 , but this procedure is for a Samsung, witch uses the same platform (OMAP4430), but I dont have the right configurations for the Droid Bionic.

Can you explain exactly how you deleted the bootloader off of the Bionic? Knowing EXACTLY (what you ran, what you typed) what you did will help us help you.
As an aside, I had no idea there was a SGSII-OMAP variant, but I am not big on the Samsung phones, just assumed they've only been using their own SoCs for a while now...
Hi podspi.
Sorry for the delay.
As a matter of fact, wasnt me that bricked the phone. A friend o mine tryed to flash a gelly beam version, and did it via Fastboot,, under Linux (of witch I know almost notingh).
He told me that the problem was that he made:
fastboot erase mbm
and then
fastboot reboot bootloader
and so the bootloader was lost. He missed a step.
Any help will be greatly aprecieted.
Regards
IOW, since the mbm has been erased, and the mbmflashable hasn't been flashed, there is no way to get it into the bootmenu sceen anymore, right?
Hmmm. Let me ask some other folks too.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Infinity Running Tapatalk.
I wonder if a factory cable would work to get it to flash mode? Why would you even mess with the bootloader trying to install ICS? You do that through recovery, not fastboot.
I was on ICS ... This was an attempt to get it to JellyBeen ... I, also, dont know why. I was perfectly happy with ICS working in GSM/WCDMA. This is why I am so sad ... It was a very stupid thing to do ... As a matter of fact, I will get a factory cable, but I dont think this is gonna help. Anyways, I am keeping it by side to remember me not to mess with things that are working fine. I'm kind of losing hope that it can fixed.

I think we need to figure out how you flash mbm back onto there. Actually, I think it's mbmloader that you need on there...
mbm = Motorola Boot Manager (?) maybe.
After reading this page: http://omappedia.org/wiki/Bootloader_Project
I believe, mbm = uboot, mbmloader = x-loader
Just found this page... http://www.droid-developers.org/wiki/How_to_load_mbmloader_from_SD_card
download the SBF and grab the mbmloader for ICS. See if you can get a little further...
SamuriHL sHouse of Bionic restored mine when all I could get was fastboot.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
It won't help this. It needs to be flashed at the omap level and since moto isn't about to release the configuration files for the Bionic you can consider this one permanently bricked.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk 2
I tend to agree with SamuriHL. I was thinking that the configuration souldn't be so diferent than others (like Samsung) that uses the same platform (omap). I know that it's naive, but what else could I do. Also, I need the signed files for x-loader and u-boot, of witch I think danifunker is right, this means mbm and mbmloader, that I have, but they came in bin format and not image format (.img). I will try to convert them to .img, but I am at the end of my resources (not that they are so many), and will give up shortly. At this point (giving up), I will buy another cellphone AND IT WONT BE A MOTOROLA, Probably a HTC or a Samsung. But I will keep Bionic at my desktop, as a paperweight, to remind me how I liked it, how I mess things up.
Anyways, if I manage to solve this problem, I will post here, and I wish to thank everyone that spare their time to try to help people. If anyone have any suggestion, I'll be glad to follow.
If you modify them in any way they'll no longer be signed and won't work. Someone else already went through several weeks of trying to fix their phone that had similar issues. He's well connected and still couldn't get the necessary files. Don't necessarily give up on Moto, though...it's not their fault we're stuck with locked bootloaders. Blame VZW for that one. Even Samsung was forced to lock the S3 on VZW. Things may change some day. We'll have to wait and see.
You can always get RAZR i with the unlockable bootloader! that might make things a bit easier...

Guys. My phone is alive again. Thanks to FRAGULINA and PICGRABBER for their unvaluable help. It is now running GSM with data enabled (3G) with ICS 232, rooted, thanks to FRAGULINA and HTCFlyerX ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31101192&highlight=build+prop#post31101192).
Well, I'm attaching 2 zip files. One is omapflash and the other is "THE FILES", and instructions on the "release_notes.txt". This works on LINUX.
And works like a charm. Took me (much) less than 5 minutes to get me from a dead phone to bootloader fastboot. And the rest is history. Well known procedures.
Thanks to all of you that helped or tryed to help.
Enjoy.
To those who have an interest in new challanges (as I know you are), i'm opening a new quest and would appreciate your thoughts.
I have at hand an atrix 2 and I want to find where in hell is the subsidy code writen at and how can I read it. This new quest will be at the proper location at the atrix 2 forum.
I think we won this challange. Lets go for another.
Any doubts I am available to help.
Regards.
Holy.....uh, well, WOW! I'm in awe here on this one. WELL DONE!!!!!!!

Can we use this method to flash any firmware to the phone? Lets say you load the latest ICS, maybe we use this method which restores the most original bootloader to the phone and then flash to any version?
Which version did you fastboot to?

This is unbelievable. After talking with you on Gtalk, I thought this was a permanent brick. Thanks for the files...I have a guy on gtalk right now who can benefit from these.
