Please Help phone wont start up

Fisrt let me start by saying hello to one and all great forum.
Right, to my problem i have had my g1 a month now and love it
have not rooted it yet as i have been reading over and over so that when
i do come to do it i wont f**k it up.
I was downloading and installing app from the market and i think i have installed one that is for a rooted phone only(well thats what the discriptive said) i didnt realise this until i had installed it and so i was testing the apps last nite then turned off my phone as usual when i went to bed, Well so turned it on this morning and it wont load past the Android Screen, i tryed to go into bootloader and itsjust a color screen with serial10 on it.
please tell me i havnt bricked my phone i didnt do anything to it
anyone help me please

You did not brick your phone, if worst comes to worst you can go ahead with the rooting steps and download the dreaimg.nbh from your rc package that is meant for your area and boot it through the bootloader

thanks whats happened to it, the serial 10 has now gone and its just the 4 coulours on screen with some text at top, i havnt taken out the battery i thought i might damage it is it ok to remove it

The multi color screen you are describing is the stock bootloader, I prefer people do not pull the battery out if at all possible, your phone is quite similar to a computer, would you unplug your computer when it crashes

no, your right i wouldnt, so really i have not a clue here what should i do now, i actually need this up and running its my only phone thanks
not bieng lazy either dude, trying to search but like i say i dont kow what i have done wrong so dont bnow solution to seach for

Find a thread on rooting your phone, there you can find your rc, and go from there, go ahead and root your phone while you are at it

not bieng funny mate but i dont want to root my phone until i am confident enought to do it, i upgraded this from 1.0 to 1.5 when i got it can i just not do that again with the 1.5 firmware, thanks

Sure, use the steps to downgrade for rooting, then just leave it go and within the next 72 hours you will get the cupcake ota update, so to recap, downgrade, wait for updates

ok, and thanks alot for the advice mate, i will root it but like i said when i understand exactly what i am doing, cheers

No problem, and thank you for taking your time to learn the system and getting familiar with what needs to be done, instead of rushing in and asking common questions

cheers mate, its the only way to learn, thanks again

sorry mate to bother agian, i just tryed to downgrade with 1.0 and white screen comes up it just says "not allowed" really stuck now

Did you do it in the bootloader(tri color screen) did you put the dreaimg.nbh on the root of your sd card and not change it to update.zip

What part of the world are you in so I can make sure you are using the right rc or it is a possiblity that you might have to make a gold card(which is a pain in the ass.....so I hear)

just realised now have to change it to update.zip
I am in Ireland
P.S. just changed the DREAMIMG-RC7.zip to update.zip and it didnt work
do i change the .NBH to update.zip

Nope,do not change it to update.zip, download rc7, extract the .nbh from inside and put it on the root of your sd, then use it through the bootloader

no. did that mate put the nbh on card into bootloader just said "not allowed" sorry for keeping you up man
does it make any difference that i deleted everything of the memory card by the way
i just thought of something this phone was bought in the U.S.A. would this make a difference when i iupdated it
it was with a U.K. 1.5 O/S

Hmmm, is your sdcard formated to fat32, it's the only filesystem that it will read in the bootloader, walk me through what it is doing

yes i formatted it, then copied the files back onto it that i had backed up, then i deleted them all again, so just putting the nbh onto a blank card
then start up the phone and bootloader, white screen comes up with "checking" then comes up "not allowed"

Hmmm....... I wonder why it is not allowing, maybe you are one of the unlucky ones who need a gold card, or maybe we can get a stock cupcake build to work in the recovery since it will be signed by your provider, let me look around a little bit and see if I can dig anything up

bricked G1 - need some help.

i . ll just start from the beginning. i installed a jesus freke ROM on my G1, i dont remember what version. i think it was 1.41 or something like that. (RC29 or RC33, idr). i downloaded an app or maybe it was an app that came with the ROM that let me know of jesus freke's updates. i hadnt checked it awhile as the G1 is not my primary device. when i checked for it last week, it showed an update and i attempted to install it. i completely forgot the procedure for updating a new image and im prretty i bricked it because it wont go past the android screen, even after waiting about 10-15 minutes, it still wont go past it. so my question is, can somebody please help me unbrick my G1? im in no hurry as im not using it on a daily basis, but id like to get this resolved as soon as possible so i can sell my G1. anyways, id appreciate it if someone could help. if so, can you give some detailed instructions as im not TOO familiar with android. i know a little about it, but too much.
thanks guys,
josh.

if you can access recovery mode, just go and reinstall other rom, i recommend cyanogenmod - user friendly and it got a complete guide on there website to install.

youll have to expand on that a little more, like i said, im not that familiar with android.. i dont have an SD card in there, and i suppose that might pose a problem trying to flash another ROM to it.. can you give me some links and some specific directions when you have a chance..? i'd greatly appreciate it.

This right here is why I say don't root if you don't know wtf you're doing. This always happens to people who should have just stayed away. Look:
Power phone completely off. Hold home key and power on. If you get to the recovery screen (the screen with a bunch of options, probably all written in green for you) then you're not bricked. All you need to do is put latest cyanogenmod on your sdcard, wipe your phone, and install it.

[Q] Help! Bricked Galaxy S trying to flash a kernel with Vodoo

Please I really need help.
I was trying to flash a kernel that i found in a forum, i tried with Voodoo, my phone was already rooted. Then i heard a female robot voice saying something about "partition" and a process that was gonna take like ten min. From then, colorful lines appeared in the screen, something like static and just nonsense lines. Im all crazy, because i cant put my phone on recovery mode or anything and its rebooting on and on every few seconds after showing several lines and nonsense. Please somebody help me im desperate.

Can u get into download mode?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

No i cant, sometimes i cant even turn it off, i press the 3 buttons, and it just goes to the white samsung logo and again to these colorful pixels, the computer doesnt even recognize the phone since it keeps rebootin on and on. Really i need help, i dont want to lose everything or take it to samsung.

you need to let it go. Its installing that kernel, and it does it while that lady robot speaks. It will take a while.

It sounds like you are in bootloops, try removing battery for 10 mins, replace and try dl mode again, if it does get into dl then pull battery again, replace and charge phone. Next make sure you have right kernel for your rom/firmware, and make sure you get everything set up right with odin, if you can't get in dl pm me and we will try and get it sorted, and don't panic
Edit. As stated, voodoo conversion can take quite a while and I'm guessing you panicked and disturbed phone during conversion

I tried that yesterday, actually i removed the battery the whole night and its the same. Another problem is that my phone is not able to turn to download mode with the commando of buttons, that option was diabled in many, at least thats what ive heard. I tried to let the process go, but it went like that for like 30 secs and then it rebooted and it did that for all the rest of the afternoon, im talkin about hours. What is dl, download??? Man im new in this, what is pm?? I think thats what i did man i panicked and disturbed the process, im really desperate Help tell me what to do i want to pm u to get some help, but i dont know whats that lol. Thanks actually i found a tutorial to get these kind of phones into download mode with a resistor of 301 ohms and a connection, but then if i succed in that, what... what i really want is recovering it, rebooting it without losing anything. Or at least resetin the phone, but i dont know what to do when i get to that part. Im really panicked and i really appreciate your help

Have you got y your stuff backed up with titanium?
Insanity cm 014/glitch

i think i did, i download it and I played around with the program, i was kinda busy then so i thought i could better understand the program later, i did some stuff but im not sure i backed up all my apps and stuff, i hope i did.

Man tried what the video shows, not workin!! i really thought that was gonna work, the phone just do the same, it goes to those weird messed colorful pixels

You'll have the wrong bootloader or a Froyo-kernel running on Gingerbread. You can't get into download mode? What about recovery?

I reckon your best bet now is the 301k resistor jig
Insanity cm 014/glitch

It worked!!! Now im about to install a rom i found on the internet, the thing is i wanted an official one and i guess those arent. Do u know if i will loose everything, u know like the info in the internal sd card?? i guess i wont. And also, do u know if theres an official rom of the froyo 2.2 around?? Thanks for your help

Dont just install any rom you found on the internet, its what got you into this mess in the first place.
Go to the developers section and read, try and understand what you are actually doing first, if you have to install anything download it from that section, at least you will have some help if you screw it up again.
YES you will lose data flashing over the top just mucks things up, i would suggest backing everything up using Titanium backup, then go to samfimware.com and get a factory rom, doing a full data wipe.

You won't lose pics and music, roms etc stored in sd card, but you will loose internal data, settings, that kind of thing

[Q] Using ADB/Sideload in Ubuntu 4.04

I have a Windows 8.1 laptop and can no longer connect my HTC One so I've decided to use Linux to use ADB to change the shell so I could run a RUU on Windows to get my phone on a stock rom... That is my level of understanding of what I want to do, but I cannot find the "code" to use in Terminal to get ADB to work... I have booted Ubunto Desktop to my usb but I havn't installed the OS, just "try"ed it... I don't know if that is an issue or not. Here are the links I have tried to use to get this to work... Which should I be following, or even better, does anybody have a step by step guide of how to get adb to work so i can finally fix this phone...

Honestly the best thing to use is a Windows 7 PC.. Anyways, what's wrong with your phone? Does it reboot every 30 seconds?
Also, there are ways to get adb working on windows 8.1, if you're like me and don't have a windows 7 computer at home all the time
Finally, you stated that it won't connect to your 8.1 PC. Do you get any error at that time? Do you have the latest HTC drivers installed? Is your cable good?
Sorry if I wrote a lot, just trying to get you up and running.

EDIT: I GOT THE PC TO SEE MY HTC ONE!!!!!!
sry for the caps, but I soft bricked my phone back in April... ( i took a lil break from fixing it... just like 2 months lol) but I just followed this link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559200 and apparently I have to disable driver sigs every time i start up? Idk cause I've dont that before but whatever, did it again, and used the adb drivers from the link and now Im connected... Decided to go balls to the wall and skip the stock rom, and straight to Viper 6.2... so after I finish the download I"ll let you know what happened...

Umm, I think that link somehow got me this youtube vid, which had the link for the adb drivers... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUjQnwULGzs
But that's the drivers I used to get my phone working on Windows 8.1...
Edit 2: Well i was able to sideload ViperOne to my phone and... it continues to reset itself... So a similar problem but now at least the phone is seen as One now, not some random usb device... and even the Internal Storage pops up when plugged in.... So now i'll prob go ahead and run the stock RUU... see if that helps any

Tfat has to be frustrating, I don't want to waste your time, but hate to see someone with a dead device, so you've already tried qfil and lgup, and fastboot commands? And you've also attempted to get into EDL again I'm assuming, and have you looked to see what your device is named in device manager in this state, meaning I'd it labeling it a modem or ADB device.? I'm just throwing some stuff out there because if it's fixable, and I'm sure it is, you have to get it into some other mode. I get that screen too but it boots and everything. If these guys can't get you hooked up than that vlad dude can do remote work and I think he knows LG very well. Just a thought.

Can you describe what you have done to get to this point? I was in a similar situation last week that took about 12 hours of troubleshooting but eventually got it fixed and set up the way I want.
I made a mistake somewhere and flashed something or failed to flash something that got me in a similar state.
I will just throw out what worked for me. I had lost every bootable mode except for 9008 (edl?). So I tried using QFIL to flash Pie laf_a and laf_b or the Oreo version. This gets you LG Download mode back. From here I recommend using a KDZ to get back to stock and boot in to make sure you can. My first attempt at this point was flashing a Pie KDZ US unlocked (I have AT&T ). Would not boot. So I tried flashing the Oreo KDZ US unlocked… lo and behold it booted all the way up. From here I was able to start over and follow the guide to get Lineage OS.
Anyway hopes this helps you.

Thank you guys for answering me I will basically I've got magisk installed bootloader unlocked rooted and I was just my phone will boot up and stuff but you know what happens whenever I want to go into download mode or go into sucking whatever you know.. I went through all this trouble got this phone unlocked and rooted and stuff 90% of the s*** that I can use what does rooted phone requires a custom recovery which is the one sucking thing I guess you can't do so I'm thinking about just flashing back stop because I don't have this kind of irritated cuz there's so many modules I want to use and stuff and I can't because there's no way to flash custom recovery whatever seed wrmn whatever
