US G1 on EU wont boot and wont recover

Hello everyone,
i really thank all the people who are investing lots of time on this site to help others. I have found myself many solutions to many issues in many of my phones.
now i have a new issue and I have not benn able to find a solution. maybe its hidden in the forums, if you know it, please send my a link.
issue:
got a g1 from the US, using it in EU.
if I turn it on, shows the G1 logo folowed by the recovery(android system recovery uitility)
It doesnt matter if I do something else, it allways comes the screen.
Tried several upgrades but it allways tells me:
Install form sdcard...
Finding...
Opening...
Verifying...
E:No signature (XXX files)
E:Verification failed
Installation aborted.
on top of the recovery there is a message:
E: can't open /cache/recovery/command --> to this i found several solutions, but all require a running g1... this is not the case.
Also the "back+power" wont load the defaults, it doesnt matter what i do.. wont do anything.
PS: SD is an 8Gb class 6 which was working on my old G1, fresh formated
any clues?
most appreciated!
Luis

I almost forgot to mention..
Power + Cam, fastloader wont work, wont load.. also found a solution having a working G1.. again.. this is not the case. I got the phone yesterday and should be working, it looks rather soft-bricked

A hint might be to post this in the Dream Q & A Section before you get battered for posting in the Dev section....

many thanks! Q&A should have been!
any ideas to solve my problem? thanks

E:No signature (XXX files)
E:Verification failed
is due to the ROM not being signed.
if you want to get into bootloader to flash nandroid backups
use
adb reboot bootloader

Hi B-man007,
thanks.. is there a way to use ADB if the phone has no OS? and if its not recognized by PC... ? found solutions about how to use it.. IF the phone is running. please let me know if i am missing something here. cheers!
any other solutions?

if the roms that i tried are not signed.. could you suggest me one which is?
tried from original ones to cooked.. same responce. i even tried 30 to 33.. to see waht happens, it started but showed me again an error message, it would make sense if the installed rom would have been 30. i was just trying around.
any links to a very old android which is signed? to keep on trying.. cheers!

Since you have a US G1, flash the RC29 DREAIMG.nbh to get to Android 1.0
ADB can be used in recovery since there is a kernel being used. You need to install the drivers for it to work

no cannt do.. driver for win7 x64 are not te be found and the update from RC29 not possible. i cannt access the booloader to install images ;(
tried several signed updates and roms, allways the same crap!
any other idea? thanks!

The adb drivers for vista x64 should work just fine. If you can't get into bootloader by holding Cam+Power
you will need adb to actually boot into the bootloader to flash the RC image

so.. many tests .. same situation
ADB works if the device is conected. it could be recognized if the bootload is on OR if android is running.
none of this works for me.
i cannt access anything but the android recovery, believe that the old user saved recovery on SDcard and send me the phone w/o it... E:/can't access recovery.. blah
i am getting really angry with the phone and the seller.. damm eVay

[Q] Stuck on Motorola logo help please

Complete newb here, i haven't done any development work or even tried rooting or flashing my phone. Over the last couple of days, apps have started crashing as soon as i open them, and then yesterday i rebooted the device and it won't go past the Motorola logo. I've searched through a few threads and there isn't a simple enough answer or procedure to follow to get this working. Also most similar issues have USB debugging on etc, whereas i have no developer settings on at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated

You didn't search enough for an answer i see. But okey for the lazy i will help you, no offense
Can u access (AP)fastboot and can u boot into recovery from fastboot? Have a look at the link in my signature on how to get in fastboot and then in recovery.

Literally my first post mate, how about you cut me some slack. I spent about 4/5 hours searching last night and even took the phone apart. If there is an answer please point me in the direction of it. There are countless threads where the issue is the user has loaded their own ROM or flashed the device already or something like that, which caused the system files to become corrupted. But as i mentioned i have done nothing to the device except for a data wipe a few months back, and there doesn't seem to be any threads where this just happened out of nowhere. I have booted into fastboot, recovery and done the partition cache & data wipe and rebooted, that was my first step.

Hoho, okey, my words have offended you and I am sorry for that.
I can't simply give u an answer if you only said that it doesn't boot and u looked for something to fix it. There are many fixes for many sorts of problems. Also if I knew u have tried to wipe the cache and data I would give u a totally different answer. But u had not mentioned anything about what u had done to try to fix it.
For now, if even a data/factory reset from recovery didn't work I suggest u need to try to reflash the whole stock firmware. See in my signature the link to an index thread about the phone. U can find there the ways to reflash to your stock firmware and hopefully fix your issue.
If u need some more help to flash stock firmware, don't hesitate to ask here.

So, this is all brand new to me. I'm using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974568
The firmware is from here - http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=13
- I chose the 4.1.2 UK Retail as i purchased the phone through Virgin Mobile (UK)
Drivers and RSD 6.1.6 are now installed so will try now
Is everything right so far?

Seems to have worked, but it seems a bit different and some apps like hangouts are unavailable now, even though i had them before. The firmware i chose was UK Retail, however i am not 100% that this is the one to use as i bought it through Virgin Mobile (UK).

Hangouts should work just fine. Strange.
But nice that all works fine now

Im having the same issue described on this thread.
My phone doesnt start, it stays at the logo screen. I've tried to recover, factory reset and nothing worked. I have access to the (AP)fastboot screen.
Later then i saw this thread, i've did everything as described at your tutorial, tried all the versions of the RSD Lite (6.1.4, 6.1.5, 6.1.6), it cant detect my phone.
I've tried in two different PCs, tons of different USB ports, running as administrator, compatibility mode...the PC tells me that the USB is connected, but the RSD Lite doesnt recognise it.
I've tried using these two options of motorola drivers:
- motohelper_2.1.40_driver_5.5.0.exe (that i found at your post)
- MotorolaDeviceManager_2.4.5.exe (found another similar tutorial on the internet)
Am i missing something?
I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks!

did you boot first into Fastboot-mode before you connect to pc?
1. Install Driver + RSD Lite
2. Boot into fastboot + connect USB
3. Start RSD Lite

Yep. Thats exactly what i did.
I tried only using Windows 8.1. Is it compatible?
I will test on a win7 PC later.
UPDATE:
Worked RSD Lite on Win7, it found my phone. I belive RSD Lite doesnt work on Win 8.1 (at least on my PC and notebook).
I believe my firmware version is this one:
Android 4.1.2 Blur_Version.982.50.29002.XT890.Vivo.en.BR Vivo Brasil 537.6 MiB
Can i use the Retail version without problems? (this one: Android 4.1.2 Blur_Version.982.50.29.XT890.Brasil.en.BR Retail Brasil 532.8 MiB)
Thanks!

Finally got my phone working again!
I got it running RSD Lite 6.1.6 on Win 7 and used the same Firmware version that i had (in my case: Android 4.1.2 Blur_Version.982.50.29002.XT890.Vivo.en.BR Vivo Brasil 537.6 MiB), not the Retail one.
Also used the MotorolaDeviceManager_2.4.5.exe that i got from Motorola website.
My phone now is up and running like charm, no apps or configs lost, everything seems perfect (and also a little bit faster). Not sure what caused my issue, did nothing but normal use.
I hope everyone with the same problem can find this easy solution and follow the right steps (and maybe avoid Win8 to do the process).
Thank you guys for all the information :good:!

Good it is solved. It can happen to anyone. Just a small coruption or miss configuration can take out the android system. Luckily this almost never happens and u were just unfortunate.

Honor 3c (H30-U10) Dead - Vibrates only - SPFT ERROR 6128

I have honor 3c (h30u10). Unlocked its bootloader, Rooted the set, installed miui through TWRP. Working flawlessly.
Handed over the set to one of my friends. He returned it in bootloop. What i tried to recover was:
- Tried to install miui again with TWRP but it failed.
- Tried to format internal partitions but also failed
- All the partitions showing 0 MB size.
TWRP shows E: Unable to mount '/cache'
E: Unable to mount '/data'
E: Unable to mount '/system'
E: Unable to mount '/cache'
E: Unable to mount internal storage
and Internal Storage 0MB
- Tried to falsh stock (ROM_H30-U10_V100R001C900B108_SIGNED) rom to re-lock the bootloader.
- The flashing process starts but failed at 100 percent with following error message:
BROM ERROR: S_SECURITY _AC_REGION_NOT_FOUND_IN_SECROIMG (6128), MSP ERROR CODE: 0X00
- It is worth mentioning that when i flashed "H30-U10 V100R001C900B127" with SPFT it flashed 100% Successfully with green circle. But when i switched on the phone it vibrates only.
--Screenshot is attached for reference.
Here are the guies which i tired to follow with no sucess
> http://www.carbontesla.com/2014/08/...-u10-b108-stock-jb-firmware-v100r001c900b108/
Please help......

i dont know if this will help but i had updated from b127 to b320 and unlocked+rooted it and after that while flashing a software called magisk it got softbricked and was not going past the honor logo... i tried to flash the stock b108 rom using 'format and upgrade' option in spf tools and now the phone did not even turn on just vibrated every 15 20 seconds... after hours of searching saw a guy using the download option to flash the stock rom... i tried it and it worked... got my phone back to life... phew...

So as for u , may be the download option works instead of all format

already tried bro but no luck.
I have visited many technicians in the market. According to them it can only be resolved by J-TAG but no body knows how to do that. Anybody here at XDA if knows about J-TAG or something like that please help.

JTAG is a bit expensive. It's a piece of electronic device that will pair with the phone to fix any critical problem.

Rooted one plus 3t with corrupted recovery stuck on bootloader

Hello everyone. First of all, sorry for the long post.
I just bought a OnePlus 3t three days back. Updated it to oxygen 4.1.3 and then rooted it as well. Everything was working fine. But then I decided to downgrade to 3.5.4 since I wanted to try out Xposed Framework. So I downloaded the OS from OP Support website, and went to twrp recovery and installed the os 3.5.4 from the internal memory of the phone. It seemed to install properly but when I rebooted the phone, it started asking for a password. I tried every possible combinations of my passwords but to no avail. I saw online and found some video where I was supposed to flash a new recovery which I did. After that the phone got stuck in Bootloader. There is no bootloader and recovery version detail available on this screen.
If I try to restart the phone it gives me the following error, "Decryption Unsuccessful - Your phone storage has been damaged, unable to read data stored in your phone! To continue to use the phone, you need to reset the phone." There's a button at the bottom of the screen to Reset Phone. When I click that the phone goes back to bootloader mode.
Please help me out here. I have no clue what to do right now. I have tried flashing several recoveries but they give an error "cannot determine the image filename for abcd.img"
Any and all suggestions are welcome. Thanks in anticipation.

Thank you for the reply. I haven't yet tried it, since the computer recognises the phone just fine. It even shows up in the fastboot devices list in cmd. Maybe, I should give it a go.

Ok so I did manage to reinstall twrp. But I have no idea what to do next. Any suggestions ?

I managed to fix it. After the twrp recovery was installed, it started asking me for a password. Which I tried and didn't work. But then I just wiped the phone and it went back to factory settings somehow.
Now the phone is back to oxygen 3.5.4 and works fine.
Hope this can be helpful to someone else.

I'm glad u fixed it
Can u please post the correct steps to avoid this issue in the first place .
I'm on 3.5.4 but I may want to try latest versions and come back to 3.5.4
