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.
Hey guys its been a while since I've even tried to fix my phone cause everyone was saying its dead. But I've been reading stories of people coming back from the G1 logo. So i could really use your help.
Heres the problem, A while back I dropped my old G1 and had to get a new one. Upon looking for the video I used last time to root my phone, I couldn't find it. I searched high and low but to no avail. I figured any video would work as long as it rooted me. So I started up the video. however once i was "done" with it i noticed nothing had changed. So i figured the video was garbage and found another one and started it up. I know, STUPID. Well when i booted my phone after wiping and flashing. It stayed on the G1 logo. I knew the worst had happened. So now i don't know what to do. There have been one or two occasions that I've gotten it to boot loader. So i know i can get there. but what do i do when I get it?
Also, no, I never got to flashing raido's or anything like that. I thought I wasn't rooted so i didn't move on.
I know it was long but I'm getting all the info out there. Please help, I think its possible, and if it is I want my phone back!!!
What were you installing by the way?
EDIT: Made a mistake, thought you were able to boot into recovery.
He does not get to recovery, but into bootloader mode (cam + power on). This is good, as there is a good chance to recover from that.
Try the first section of this guide:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
You have to flash the correct dreamimg.nbh via bootloader. You might need a Goldcard to do so, in certain countries, but lets just hope that is not the case (would be more work...)

A little different brick of my Moto G 2nd gen(XT-1068).plz help
Hi ,
Please dont ignore my mail just bcoz its too long. I have been following this thread from four to five days. Will you please help me ? Just have a look at my problem. I have been rooting my android phones and have good experience of testing , rooting the handsets. Recently I flashed my Moto G ( xt-1068 ) with lolipop because i was not able to wait till motorolla release it.
I tested it for few days , and successfully downgraded back to 4.4.4 kitkat. It was all fine. I love MIUI so I started my work to port MIUI over our favourite Moto G . I even ported it and was not booting. So I edited updter-script and was trying to flash it back on my xt-1068.
Now the mistake that happened was , due to some error in the script , It aborted the installation. When i checked the log from CWM , It has crossed partitioning and it aborted while extracting the directorties. By mistake I restarted the phone and since the partitions were flashed and there was nothing to execute , my phone is stuck. Its not even starting . Its getting recognised as "qhsusb_bulk". Thts why i came over this thread and tried to follow the procedure you have mensioned.
I am also getting the same error like while flaashing with blank-flash : FAILED (blank-flash:sdl-transfer-image:sdl-hello:invalid HDLC frame) and FAILED (blank-flash:sdl-transfer-image:sdl-hello:error sending packet) .
So do i have the same problem that happened with theses guys who tried to downgrade their handsets from Lolipop to kitkat ? If its so , should I also wait for Lolipop release by moto ? or will i have some other problem ? Do you have any solution ? I was really wanted to make MIUI available for our Moto G . I don't feel sad for bricking of m phone but what ifeel sad is I want it back. I can't pass my day without it. i am missing it. Please can you suggest me wht should I do ?
Thanks in advance.

firmwares
do someone has the moto g 2gen firmwares on extention .tar.gz i need them to fix my phone
Help!!
Hi people.
Well, only 2 weeks ago I got my Moto G XT1063 and I unlocked bootloader to install Soak Test of Android 5.0.2 with RetailUSA firmware. (My device's original firmware, was for Claro Colombia).
It worked well, I got it running perfect. Yesterday I saw that official/final version of 5.0.2 was available for my device with RetailUSA firmware, but I needed to do a downgrade to KitKat first, because it wouldn't work if I was in Soak Test yet.
So I made the downgrade, and it was running well, I checked for updates, and there was no updates availables, so I decided to reboot, to see if it may make the update appear. But after turning off my device, and trying to turn it on again, just nothing happened.
Now, my device doesn't want to turn on, neither in fastboot mode. And now, I don't know what to do here. So I would be really thankful for any help provided.
Thanks in advance. Have a nice day.
So here is what happened,
My phone was maybe 14% plugged it in left it charging and went to sleep.
Woke up with the phone alarm and started reading whatsapp messages, at this point the phone was already at 100%.
Maybe 30-40 seconds later, with the cable still plugged in the phone turned off, with no message, it just "died".
Now it wont boot, fastboot, nothing.
Tried some solutions i found on the internet like holding vol down + power button for more than 2 minutes, and nothing.
I really need some help here guys, PLEASE.
The phone was running latest TITAN PRIME ROM 1.1 dev3
Everything will be appreciated, thanks in advance.
partitions whacked out?
It seems I am unable to flash anything probably due to partitions broken. When I try to do a fastboot flash, It results in OKAY, but it has no effect on the device. I tried to flash the gpt.bin to partition, but the problem remains. Is there any way to repair the partitions? I tried to format in fastboot, I get the error "formatting is not supported for filesystem with type 'raw'". I am also unable to change format from recovery. All ideas welcome!
This issue came up after my phone went battery empty.

Same here, also due to 0% battery.
Seems these phones do not shutdown early enough before the battery voltage drops below spec. ****ty engineering.
Please, someone help us for the sake of god.
There are several people with this problem and we don't know how to fix it.
Is there any possibility, any help, anything we could test would be welcome.

They took my phone and asked me to wait for 3 days till they can figure out What in the name of God has happend to my Phone. I will let you folks know if i get a replacement ....

Hi all,
I downloaded the latest TWRP from https://dl.twrp.me/i9305/ - twrp-2.8.7.0-i9305.img.tar 8.1M
I installed it with ODIN. The flash was a success and when the phone rebooted the touchscreen was unresponsive.
I have tried another version of twrp for this phone and I can get into twrp, but the touchscreen doens't work. I tried replugging in the ribbon lead for the digitiser and that made no difference.
Do you think its a software problem or that I have fried something?
Many Thanks
Andrew
Hi,
there are plenty of issues with TWRP and 2.8.7.0. I'm actually surprised you could even boot up your phone. The new recovery messes up with partition sizes and some other things.
I hope you have a backup of the current ROM as I suggest you to install Stock ROM again and stay on TWRP 2.8.5.0 and see if your phones works normally again
Hi,
thanks so much for replying. I still have the stock rom. All I have done is install twrp. I have tried doing a factory reset and it made no difference. I can still use the buttons on the phone, but the touchscreen remains unresponsive.
So if I download the stock rom for the phone and install you think it might make a difference?
Andy
Update:
Downloaded and installed stock rom from samsung (4.4) ... installed with success via odin. The phone boots and the screen is still unresponsive. I just cant believe I have broken the digitiser by installing twrp?!
Andy
Hi,
sorry for the late reply. I didn't get a notification via tapatalk. But anyway to come back to your issue: it's the first time I hear that a "corrupted" recovery could break the digitizer. I did the same mistake with the broken recovery but fortunately no issues afterwards. But apparently it's possible judging by some google search results.
I never had such issues and I don't know how to help you. Maybe there is a possibility to fix it.
Thanks for your reply
I hope there is a way of fixing it. It doesn't seem economical to fix this phone? The digitiser kit is around £60 ... Plus because I can't be 100% why this happened in the first place, it might happen again with a new digitiser?
Thanks
Andrew
I was looking here in Germany right now what I would have to pay for fixing the digitizer - between £50 and £60 as well, some even charging a little more. For £80 I could get a decent looking used S3 4G.
If I were you I'd rather buy another S3 again (or any other device) instead of trying to fix the broken one.
Did you tried to Flash stock recovery
Hey what's up all. I was listening to music in the car today and my G4 just turned off for no reason. Seems like it is completely hard bricked. I can only get the LG logo and Download Mode. No recovery or even a boot loop. Any options on recovering my data thru ADB or something similar? Can I re-flash the rom over ADB?
I'm really in a tough spot with this, never even heard of a random hard brick happening with this phone or any Android phone. Apparently it is a known issue, I haven't flashed anything in months. I was running stock rooted. Thanks for the help!
you can send it to data recovery lab, ask them to fix it for you. But it may cost you money.
