please help!!! my phone whont turn on - G1 Android Development

after i tried to update the radio for rc 33 and it turned off then i tried to turn it on it wont turn on please help i tried to take out the battery everything nothing worked

I got a little chip with an arrow pointing to it after the radio install. Then it froze up for a while even after I took off the battery and tried to restart. It fixed itself, but I'm no longer attempting to update the radio.
So, yea, hope someone chimes in.

i tried that but mines wont restart how long did you wait before it restarted your phone?

Ten-ish minutes.

Does it not turn on period or can you get into the boot loader and/or recovery utility?
Please elaborate.

nope it wont its completely off

Sounds toast to me. Have you verified that the battery is functional and properly charged? Past that it sounds like you bricked the hell out of it.

Is your battery dead?
I just did mine only minutes ago and after it pointed at the chip for awhile it rebooted, then went back to the recovery screen again. After holding home+back it booted right up.
I updated with the RC33 1.41 image(from RC30 1.41) before I tried the radio. I don't know if that matters or not

I upgraded from JF 1.41 RC30 with no problem, Radio and all, good luck!

So far you are the only person with this problem so we are running through the basics.
Did you get any errors or messages during the update? Did the phone run out of battery mid update? Did anything odd or unusual happen?
quick question in while in the topic, had he done a FULL nandroid backup and was able to atleast get to boot screen would he be able to restore his phone? just a quick questions because to this day i have no idea how the nandroid thing works i cant do it on my x64 vista either and dont see how it comes in handy lol. Sorry just trying to fig it out.
after i tried to install the radio update it showed some sort of chip with an arrow and then it froze for over 10 mins so i ended up taking out the battery
@zgjbeta Yes. If you can get to the blinkin android screen, your not really bricked. Nandroid would fix it right up.
If it wont even turn on, like your case. I dono what to tell you.
For starters, try to connect it to a wall outlet to make sure its not the battery.
Also tell us exactly what happened during the update process.
EDIT: I read your most recent post. That's strange because everyone gets the chip thing, you shouldve tried home + back or menu + green + red.
One of those wouldve most likely worked.
Good luck.
Also maybe try to take it out again and put it back in.
I had the chip and arrow after the radio update, I didn't take the battery out, started pressing random keys, lol... and then it went away and booted back to a JF recovery style screen. Pressed home + back and it rebooted to a stuck flashing android. Then did call+menu+end to reboot and it has worked fine ever since.
There is definitely something whacky going on...
yes i tried to do the home key plus end and camera plus end options while in that chip state but didnt do anything so i resolve to take out the battery and it wont turn on again. i also tried all the button reset combo nothing happens
If it wont even turn then there is really nothing that can be done. Another thing I would try is if you know someone else with a G1 try their battery.

Also try cleaning the battery contacts in the phone and on the battery. This happened to one of my dumbphones once - cleaned out the battery contacts and it worked again. Bizzare situation, simple solutions first.
You might've turned it off while it was writing a vital file. Thus your phone might be bricked.
Here's an idea - sent it back to T-Mobile/HTC - and I don't think they will notice you violated your warranty until it's too late (they have to fix your phone to find out) so you could just refuse to pay and have them send it back to you.
I too saw the chip with the arrow thing, so that makes 3 people in this thread. It happened when I did the radio update. Anyway, in my case, I held down the recovery mode keys for a while and it went to the menu. Then I just rebooted and everything was great. Glad I didn't take out the battery (I considered it).
I had the chip and just waited and it took care of itself. Just be patient people.
plug in the wall charger, wait 10 seconds, then hold the red power button for 3-5 seconds then release, it should turn on
i tried that didnt work anymore advice?
also is there any way to run diagnostics of this phone to pc to make it work?
If the phone won't turn on, go back to the T-Mobile store and ***** em out. Not much else to say if we can't even get power to it.

My phone just died

I just got this phone not 2 months ago and out of no where it just died!
I was running the recent Energy ROM on it and have been since it came out. Today it ran just fine as always and just a few minitus ago I went to check it and I could not get the screen to turn on. I pulled the batter out and then went to turn it back on, I would vibrate like it was going to start up and a few seconds it would go black and vibrate again. It did this over and over till I finaly tried a hard reset. I was able to get into the hard reset and it said that it compleated and I hit power up to boot. But then the screen got fuzzy and would not boot, so I pulled the battery again and now I can't get it to start at all! No power, nothing! Even with the power cord pluged in it doesn't do anything, not even light up showing that it's being charged!!
What should I do, or check?
Not knowing particulars I would double check the water intrusion labels and make sure they were both white still. Check your gold battery connectors and make sure those look good. Also check your charger and the USB plug to make sure that it is clean of debris and shiny.
Then I would charge the phone for 4 to 8 hours without attempting any boot ups just to make sure it was fully charged.
I have had 'wonky' issues with the phone being too low of a charge and not booting properly. Sorry I can't be of more help.
I will hook it up to a charge tonight and see if that does anything, but it was atleast at 60% eairlyer and as far as I know should be no reason that it should have discarged that quiclky. Also all the markers look just as they did out of the box. Thanks for the advice!
Your ROM might have gotten corrupted. Try a reflash by booting in bootloader mode.
How? It won't turn on?

Try pulling out the battery (and no USB plugged in) then hold the volume down or up button (I don't remeber which) and hit the power button just once while holding the volume button and if you get to boot loader mode you can go from there. Otherwise I'm afraid you are out of luck.
So with no battery I can get to boot loader mode?
Anyways, in or out, nothing. How does my phone just brick itself? I didn't do anything to it!?
If you could do a hard reset, then you can get into bootloader. Just press and hold volume down and then soft reset. If you have to do, a hard reset first, then go into bootloader when the screen says to press volume up to boot up. Once in bootloader, either flash a rom of your sd card if you know how to or off the usb connection.
What radio do you have, and did you change radios recently? I'd recommend using what nrg says (1.14.25.05) with his rom.
I was able to do a hard reset and now nothing is happening. I cant get it to power up, can't get into boot loader, nothing. It is acting like it is bricked... but I haven't added new software, no new ROM... I just don't understand.
Just pull the battery and let it sit overnight. I've read that that can help.
Oh, yeah, what radio are you using? I ask because there was another poster with a similar problem on that rom. He was using a 1.12.xx.xx radio (I think .25.19), and it appeared to have issues with the included rilphone (1.14.25.05). If you haven't flashed a radio and are using a stock fuze radio, this could well be your problem.
Humm the radio was the most recnet one by HTC. The on that the Energy ROM flashes with stock (not the one he suggests, I never got to flashing that one onto the phone) I'll let it sit tongith and report back in the morning/afternoon.

Same thing happened to me few minutes ago. Thats ****ing weird. Hope I still get this working or I have most expensive piece of junk in my hand.
I also have newest Energy ROM and stock Radio. I had just wrote sms few minutes before, heard that got new sms and tried to turn on screen, but it just stays black.
edit. By using Pocket Controller-PRO I can see that phone is working "normally". Even touch screen is working, but screen is just blank. Keyboard is also dead. Have to take this to repair

Well, flash it back to stock and then have it repaired or replaced. You don't need the screen working on the phone to flash it.
To post an update, I pulled the battery and left it all night like that with no resolve. Right now I have my buddy (the one I bought the phone from) on the phone with cingular to see if there is anyway we can get them to replace the phone since it is only 2 months old or so.

HAHAHAHA Ya that is somthing that isn't going to happen.
so two people having this problem .. one of them didnt update (downgrade) their radio to the one recommended.
I have a new fuze, just installed Energy Rom.. and went to check my phone version. It was 1.14.25.35 ... NOT the one that was recommended. So I downgraded the phone to 1.14.25.05 immediately
I would be interested to know if the other person was also running 1.14.25.35 and didnt bother to downgrade as recommended.
Other than that ... tons of people are using this ROM and afaik you are the only two to get a black screen like that. Both of you were able to communicate iwth the phone through a remote program? Or only one?

I run any radio I like on my phone and I never got this issue. Sounds like a hardware issue and it just happened to match that the two persons flashed the same ROM without changing the radio to the recommended one because, frankly, I just flash any I want and I haven't gotten that problem yet (mind you I flash sometimes 5 times a day.)

You're probably fine with that radio; you can always install the rilphone.dll for it.
This is the thread I was thinking of. Now that I re-read it, the OP didn't specify the rom, but since everyone is on NRG rom, I guess I just assumed that was what it was. Either way, the 1.12 radio seemed to not get along with the cooked in 1.14 rilphone. Or, it could've just been bad luck on the radio flash.

Phone wont stay shut off?

Hello again everyone, im here with another new problem. Out of the blue.
This is what happens.
-Phone is on
Hold down power
Shut off
-Phone shuts off screen goes blank
5 seconds pass
-Phone boots up... never touch a thing....
WTF?
It will not stay off, no matter the rom, I pulled the batter,SD,SIM nothing will shut it off unless i pull the battery.
I've downgraded the phone with the ace hack kit, ive re-rooted. nothing. I've searched, nothing. Anyone out there got a clue? Cus I dont.
FYI:when the phone rebooted after it flashed the downgrade during re-rooting, the alarm was going off and had the snooze button and everything, no matter what it wouldnt go off. but I just went on with the root process and now its gone, but the phone still wont stay off, something just screwed up!
That's hilarious, and I don't mean that literally. I am laughing though, kind of. Why? Because the same thing just happened to me last night. I know I said the exact same thing you said, possibly more. I have been on the same rom for a week and the only thing I have done was update a couple of apps from the market last night. Nothing else was done. Suddenly I can not power off the phone, it simply shuts off for five seconds and then reboots. I have wiped, restored, and tried flashing and the issue still persists. I am heavily researching and experimenting on what could be the cause for this issue. If I figure it out I will be sure to let you know.

Lol that is funny, what apps did you update?
I also have a problem with charging the phone and not sleeping, i was starting to think that it was just finaly getting worst
The only apps that were updated were Battery Monitor widget, Elixir, Xfinity TV, and one more which I can't remember right now. If you do get your phone to shut off, which I have been able to do twice, it may not wish to power back up, which is what mine does now also. (Laughing hysterically now.) Just pull the battery out and put it back in and it will power up. My feelings are that this may have been caused by some kind of update. Possibly from the market or from ATT. I have tried three different roms and it is still doing the same thing. I am about to wipe and restore the phone back to stock and see if it does it still. I will keep you appraised.

I dunno, I already did that and it did nothing, but I guess its worth a shot for you...
And I dont have any of those apps
If I find something I'll post here
/me shrugs
I am very confused by this, but I will have to try a restore to stock to see what happens. I do find it strange that two different people had this happen to their phones at about the same time and day. I will let you know how things progress later.
Edit: What version of Clock Work Mod recovery do you have installed and which rom were you running? Trying to go through the variables with this issue.

Yeah it is odd, could be coincidence, could be related, dunno, I dont see how it could be an ATT update when nearly all the roms here have that function disabled. Then again maybe you know something I don't
What did you do to get it to turn off finally? I dunno if I wanna try now that you said it wouldn't turn back on.
Also, what rom where you on when it started, I was on CM nightly #121 or maybe #120 I forget
I just happened to come across this in the general section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145495
no fix though
I am restoring an old rom and I will try changing the date as someone suggested to see what that does. If it does not work then I will have to wait until later tonight to return the phone to stock and go step by step from there.

Could this have something to do with partitioning the SD card? I think i remember reading that clockwork bricked some phones, is that true?
I believe CWM did have some problems partitioning before. Not sure if it still does. It seems like I have found a fix for myself. I turned off automatic system time and date and reset the date to January 2012. The phone seems to be working like it did before this occured. I will wait until tomorrow and change the date back to automatic and see if the power issue shows back up, but for now it seems ok.
Edit: I changed the time and date back to automatic and it is working like it should again. Did you get yours working again or is it still having problems?

I had that problem, but it was the car app. I had to disable it in the settings.
seems this keeps happening more and more to people. i still have yet to solve my issue
well i retried setting the date on the phone but this time i chose 1/1/2011 and now the phone stays off when i turn it off which is nice but now i have to deal with having the wrong date

What the hell did i do?

Okay, so i had Infused 2.3.0 (i think that was the number, it's the latest one anyway). I followed the instructions to the T. I had no issues.
About 3 or 4 days later i woke up and my phone had 1% battery. I sent a text, and then locked the phone. I came back to plug it in, and tried to see if it had any battery. None, it was dead. No biggie. I plug it in, and i get the circle loading thing. Then the battery symbol appears (charging). Then the phone goes black and the circle loading thing appears again. Then it keeps restarting. and going back to the circle loading thing. Over... and Over... Then i tried charging it for a while to see if the battery was just really low. No dice.
I put my girlfriends battery from her infuse 4g and it had 90%. Did the same thing. Circle loading thing, restart, circle loading thing, etc. Then i tried to put it into recovery. No dice, it would just keep restarting. Sometimes the Samsung logo would appear, and then it would just restart samsung, black screen, samsung, black screen, then eventually back to the circle.
I got it in red recovery ONCE, i was able to scroll down twice, and then the phone restarted. I couldn't get it back into red recovery.
I thought i had bricked my phone somehow. So i tried to use GTGs unbrick. I loaded it up fine (i'd done it with my girlfriends phone before to restore it to stock). It took me about 15 tries to get it into download mode. It was in download mode for long enough so that the program recognized it, and it started the download to restore it, then the phone turned off.
Now the phone won't even turn on. I can't put it in download mode, i can't put it into recovery, i can't get it to do ANYTHING.
What the hell did i do? What caused the original issue?
HELP
Does your phone still have warranty?
What the hell didn't you do.
Ok well first of all it is not Infused 2.3 it is 2.2.3. Anyway that is not the point, did you have juice defender installed? I do not think it could have done anything, but maybe. What is the latest app/tweak/anything you installed? Finally, have you tried holding both volume buttons and power button when trying to turn it on? This problem you are having seems extremely odd. Try plugging it in.

2.2.3, thanks. I was too lazy to look it up. No, I didn't have juice defender. I used Lookout, that's all.
The latest thing I installed was the 2.2.3 update for Infused. I updated Pandora, and that's all.
Yes, i've done that with the volume buttons.

Yes. Won't turn on.
Well, best thing you can do now is see what ATT can do about it. The worst that can happen is they say they can not do anything, which you then can keep trying the ultimate unbrick over again. This helped someone on an earlier thread.
Same thing happened to me. Take the battery out. Make sure USB cable is unplugged. Hold down both up and down volume buttons plug in USB into ur phone and PC and put battery back in. This will put you in download mode and it will stick do u can return to stock. Good luck

Tried again multiple times. It just won't turn on.
I think you have a hardware failure of some sort... Take it back to AT&T for warrany service.
You probably didn't do anything to it - just bad luck and coincidence.

They're replacing it. No questions asked. The phone wont turn on. So they said its a hardware failure

He tried everything I did. Download mode. New battery. Nadda
got my replacement today. all is well. now to root

[Q] Not responding to anything (Sensation)

I'm having trouble with my HTC Sensation. I Flashed ARHD 5.0.1 this morning and tried to flash the update to 5.0.2, but something went wrong. while I knew the battery must've been running low, the bootscreen took ages (first waited 15 minutes, lost my patience and then pulled the battery, next try was an hour). so I decided to try recovery in the HBOOT menu and it jumped right to an update screen saying LOCKED in a red box and telling me to update or not. so why not, clicked yes and it took ages again. so i pulled the battery and clicked no this time. then in the bootscreen saying beatsaudio I think it crashed. now it wont boot up by pressing power button and it wont get into HBOOT either. wondering if its the battery, pulled it out and checked with a multimeter, its on 3.76V, should be enough. strange thing is also that while in the charger, the LED doesn't light up. I just dont know what to do now. getting kinda desperate.
It looks like bad flash. try running your RUU from pc while phone is switch on.

The sensation has some wierd feature that when battery is very low it wont turn on, leave it charging for an hour or so and then try again and flash as jasminthoria said.
ive had it in the charger for a whole night now, and still the LED doesnt light up indicating that its charging, its just completely unresponsive, also i dont get the feeling its charging anything. ive used 2 different chargers and i have connected it to the computer, but it just wont react, it's acting like its dead (or maybe it is i dont know). As soon as I'm back in Holland ill go to the vodafone store and see what they can do for me. i dont mind paying for the repair myself.
Have you taken the battery out after charging it? I forgot to put that in my last post
yes i have
if you can try another battery try that see if it turns on if, it does then its your battery, if it doesnt then it could be something more than that
well I've just tried my sister's sensation's battery which works fine in her phone, and it didnt work, so i dont think the problem is in the battery.
