Just received my G1 today. Haven't changed anything, went through first boot, got everything setup to my liking, downloaded a few apps from the market.
Rebooted the phone since it looked like I lost data connectivity, and it's now stuck at the bootloader screen. It doesn't seem that the camera button is stuck, I can push it and feel actually depress. Booted into recovery and did a factory reset/wipe, still no good.
Should I be able to reflash an original ROM image from recovery to get going again? (After I hunt down an SD card)
... how can you be "stuck" at the bootloader if you can already access the recovery?
Couple of things you can try:
1) Reflashing the ROM (since you can access recovery right?)
2) If you're actually stuck in the bootloader and can't get to any other screen, you can try:
Code:
fastboot reboot
3. If that doesn't work, you can try reflashing DREAIMG.nbh (RC29) and starting over.
Yea, it boots right to the bootloader. If I hold power + home it goes into recovery, but that doesn't get me anywhere.
Tried reflashing RC29 via the bootloader. After it's complete, I press the action key to reboot, and it goes right back into the bootloader.
Where am I supposed to enter in "fastboot reboot"?
Is there anything I should try updating at the recovery screen via SD card?
if you just got the G1 recently and you haven't installed any custom software on it and you're already having theese issues why not just exchange it for one that actually works instead of going through the headache of trying to fix it? Especially if the software hasn't been modified and you keep getting thrown into the bootloader
That'll be the next step. I didn't buy it locally tho, through the web, so I'd like to see what I can do before I go that route.
if you use the rc29 DREAIMG.nbh it writes over everything, so if your phone still dosn't load you may have a more serious problem, exchange may be your best bet
I've sent an email to the vendor I bought it from about exchanging it.
I've noticed that when booting into recovery, after pressing alt - L, the top of the screen says :
Android system recovery utility
E:Can't open /cache/recoverfy/command
Then it lists out the Alt commands.
possibly try downloading the DREAIMG.nbh file again, format your sdcard to fat32 once more, let your phone boot into the bootloader and apply the update and cross your fingers and pray to wich ever god you believe in
I've left the battery out all night. I was in the process of formatting the sd at the computer again, and tried powering on the G1. Holy crap it boots up!
Now I'm back to the problem of no data services. I can surf the web all I want on the dash, I know I have a data plan. I'll have to give t-mo a call I guess, since I can't get the G1 registered now.

ya i would call t mobile .they would prob replace for ya sounds like some thing weird going on!good luck
Ok, definently sending this back. It has stopped working again. I'd turn it off from the menu, swap out the SIM, and when I go to turn it back on, it'll boot to bootloader again. Reflashed later today for kicks, booted bootloader 1st time, booted up correctly the 2nd time (but didn't have SIM in), booted a 3rd time with SIM in to try to activate, but it went to bootloader again. Any subsequent boots are all to bootloader.
I'm thinking it's crappy hardware.
Still intermittent booting. Until I get the goahead to send it back for an exchange, what else do we think I should try. Could it be the radio version? I tried to update with an HTC radio, but the signature didn't let it load. What, if any, radio downloads will work with a stock G1?
I'll try a few more things tonight, and post up what happens. Maybe check out tmobile's downloads for firmware updates.
If I didn't buy the phone directly from t-mobile, would they be able to do anything for me if I take it in to a store?

No they won't. Your best bet is to contact HTC cause the phone is still under warranty, but you better contact them soon cause the phone is about to be a year old on Oct. 20th I believe.
I'll try that then, since all I got for a response from the seller was "has the issue been resolved yet?" I'll check with HTC today about the manuf. warranty.
Hi,
I have a strange issue and if someone has seen it I'd be very grateful if he/she can provide me with a resolution.
I was using Energy's rom Standard from 28th of May until the other day I decided to flash a new rom hoping it would have some of the bugs fixed.
I did it the same way I do it every time: downloaded the latest version, moved the BLACIMG.nbh to the SD card and flashed from there. Passed the initial setup and then do a hard reset and do the initial setup again.
This time after the first initial setup the HTC Sence refused to start. Whatever is on the screen where the Sense should be stays there. The Start menu is working, wireless is working, File explorer is working, SD card is working, GPS is working ( all of the above accessed through start menu ).
I thought it was a 1 time thing and did the hard reset - it did nit fix the issue.
I downloaded another rom ( from 1st of July ) - same thing. I tried my previous rom ( since I kept the install file last time ) but I got the same issue. The phone says Starting HTC Sense ... and it stays like this forever.
Whatever is on the screen - stays there frozen.
Also I somehow managed to get it working for a little while by connecting the phone to a PC via Active Sync ( HTC Sense is working fine - tried customizing it - wokring ok ) but it does not survive a reboot.
So if anyone has seen this please let me know.
Thanks
Hi,
Have you sync any kind of info like contacts, emails, etc?
Have you imported PIM or config data through UC?
You can try to hard rest your device and start it without the Micro SD inserted.
Did you try a Task29?
I tried restoring a full backup ( with SPB Backup ) over the new roms as well as the old one that was working - no success.
Will try to boot without the SD card when I get home ( currently @ work )
@Smobbo - sorry but what is Task29 ?

Use Task29 to format your phone memory. it will delete all the data in the phone memory before we flash new rom. it is to make sure the old roms information flashed in our HD not left in our phone. it will make our HD clear. it is good for our phone
well I did try a flash and before the first boot I removed the SD card - it fixed the issue.
thanks guys.
Hey all, my 16gb sandisk sd card isn't being recognised anymore, anyone know why?
It says it read the SD card, and it got to 100% complete, yet my apps dont load to the menu list anymore :/
Help please
Also, when I try and boot up either Launcher7 or Twlauncher the phone restarts on me..
It's not rooted, its not a custom rom, just froyo 2.2.1 :/
does windows recognise it ?
if so, move all files to PC, put SD card back in phone and try to format, if you cant format it under windows and try again
ok i connected it to my pc, copied everything over, then i formatted the card (fat32) and yet it still doesnt want to read it.
ive tried all i can do and yet nothing works. my card is 100% authentic so i know that isnt the problem, yet nothing else is fixing it
thats strange. if you was on a custom rom / kernel there are things we could do to get it working.... but your not lol.
under settings, have you tried to unmount / mount ??
does anything pop up in the notification bar when you insert / remove external sd ?
really? what custom roms? i moved from 2.2 to darkys 9.5 within a week, but then went to 2.2.1 for warranty reasons.
ive tried unmounting and remounting, just like inserting it, restarting the phone etc., all it says is media scan running, gets to 100%, media scan complete.
it says i have 8.56gb of 14.2gb free which is normal, and all the files come up on the computer, but in my menu they arent there, just a bunch of empty spaces.
no matter how long i leave it running nothing gets recognised
that is weird
have you tried a factory reset, i dont know any other options.
you havent downloaded any apps that could of caused this recently have you ?
no i haven't tried a factory reset yet just cause i don't want to lose all my apps. i had 10 pages of apps and id rather not want to reinstall 8 of the missing pages, but if i cant fix it ill go into download mode soon and perform a factory reset, if that doesn't work i'm gonna exchange the card for a new one.
i'm 100% certain that no apps caused this. i haven't installed anything new for about a week. just turned the phone off then back on and now its broken.
thanks for your help, ill let you know how i go
Yea keep me informed. Have u got any backup apps that you could try and see if they backup the "missing " apps

i think my phone is the problem. i've just tried using a new sd card and that one is also not being read
ill try a factory reset later, and then if that fails ill try new firmware to see how that goes.
Just finished flashing froyo 2.2, then 2.2.1 and neither worked.
how do i go abouts fixing this with a custom rom?
i think the problem lies with the hardware not the software.
like you said earlier you tried another sd card and that didnt work either.
the options in a custom rom are just manually mounting / unmounting and fixing permissions in recovery, but i dont think this will help.
your on stock ROM now so i would just go to your nearest SSC and tell them to fix it under warranty
thanks for helping me man
ill be taking it in soon as a repair, however, my friend said it couldve happened cause my battery went to 0% and the phone just shut of and broke something, is that true? i'm not sure cause I can still access the card by pc.
So a couple days ago i installed a rom. i cant remember the name of it, but i think it was a stock rom with some adjustments, and it was based on 4.2.2 jellybean. With the rom i also had a kernel and TWRP. it was also rooted and unlocked. the other day i find out that there is a new update to the HTC one, with all downsides about the rom that was before was now fixed, it was also based on android 4.2.2. so i desided that i wanted to get my phone back to stock, everything.
I startedt with a factory reset, then i went into TWRP and wiped the sdcard. (something that i shouldnt have done) this was where my problems started to show up. So at this point in time, i was factory reset, but i was still rooted, unlocked with a kernel. not exactly what i wanted at the first point. while i was trying out the phone, just installing some APK'S and other files i installed snapchat, i loggwed in , and tried to open a videosnap. i couldnt open it because i had no sdcard mounted. i was quite scared and started looking for answeres. NO place could i find an answer to this, and my phone was not working as it should. so i desided to "unbrick". At this point, i had relocked the bootloader. but now i couldnt find the ruu file (my software number is 1.29.401.16) and still cant find that RUU file.
So now i have a phone with the stock recovery, it is unlocked and its based on 4.1.2. i cant update it, i cant use my pohone properly (because of the sdcard not mounted) and i cant relock the bootloader (if i try i just reboot into the bootloader and i cant get out)
there are two pictures as an atttachments showing the phone connected to my PC (cant take screenshots of my phone, because i "dont have an sdcard" allso dont mind the norwegian language)
If there are anyone out there willing to help me i would be thankful, and also dont mind the bad Enlgish, i'm norwegian
Hello Good People of XDA!
My friend ran into a problem, with a One M7 he had an International model, and the mainboard died, he figured, let's buy a broken one, and switch mainboards...
This kinda all went well, the thing is, he bought a Sprint one. Phone worked fine, but it had to be unlocked, to use the carriers in here, so he unlocked bootloader, then i installed a recovery for him, over teamviewer.
All was good, i was reading about the details, and next day, he told me, he accidentally deleted the os. tried to do a recovery, but he installed smtg, he thought is a previous recovery.
Phone then said no OS
After fiddling with drivers for a day, i managed to push a rom to the phone with adb, and install it, original Sprint 4.1.2 Seemed to work fine, We managed to sim unlock the phone, from there, it kinda all went downhill.
The OS started to crash, and freeze, so we wanted to reflash it. I told him, to do a factory reset, delete everything, format the phone, we can still push a rom. So that's what he did, factory reset, then deleted cache, dalvik, system, and storage. Pushed the rom, installed it, and it didn't even asked for anything on first start. second start, it fell into a bootloop, so delete everything again, push an Original Sprint 4.2.2 rom. But, the previous files, were still in the phone, regardless the format of the memory... So, my question is, how can i absolutely format everything from the phone, except bootloader?
We need a running rom, to S-Off the phone, so we can change CID and MID for our country. Also, installing with verification, always fails, we tried 6 different roms.
Now, either one is installed, the phone fells into a bootloop, or just hangs in first start.
Thank You guys for your time, and effort in advance!
