try this you already wiped try reinstalling the jf1.42 rc 33 and that will get you back to where you were before trying to install the theme. and make sure you have the apps and data on sd card before proceeding.

i had this same problem, browsing thru the forums i found an answer
boot in to recovery console
where u suppose to press alt + s ect
asuming you have your usb drivers. and have the android sdk type this
adb shell
and then when it goes to #
type
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0 > /sys/devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0/file
that mounts your sdcard and you would be able to transfer the zip file you want to flash
im no expert hope that helps

If you are using RC33, and the theme isn't working, do this. (Requires apps on SD Card
-Open up terminal emulator.
-Type:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
busybox cp -a /system/media /system/sd
rm -r /system/media
ln -s /system/sd/media /system/media
-Reboot your phone
-Download the theme you want.
-Rename to update.zip and put it on your sdcard.
-Turn off the phone. Boot into recovery mode. (Home + Power Buttons)
-Once loaded, press Alt + S
-You're done.
Alternate Method Without Apps on SDCard
-Set your ringtone and notification for everything to something you have on your sd card
-Go to terminal emulator
-Type
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm -r /system/media/audio/ringtones
rm -r /system/media/audio/notifications
-Download and install your theme of choice

Put the sd-card into a cardreader, delete the update.zip, copy the jf-zip and rename that to update.zip. Boot to recovery and flash the image.
If you dont have a cardreader, get one, or another g1.
The way i would do it is take your card out of the phone, place it into a mini card reader and delete the update.zip (theme) and place the update.zip (rom) onto the card.
hold down home+menu+end and proceed like normal to update from sdcard.
tats wat i orignally thought of doing...but i dont have a mini card reader
Im gonna try to borrow a freind's G1
but is there any other method i can try?

Find some1 who has a device with a microsd-card-slot (most modern winmo-handsets have it)
without card reader
now i dont have much time this hapened to me b4 what u wanna do is if u have acess to adb just use adb (i dont remember if this is exzactly it but im sure someone could build off it did u try a wipe btw?
step 1
download adp1 rom place on a drive (C:\
step 2
start adb
step 3
type adb remount
step 4
typ adb shell
(it will give you a #)
step 5
type rm /sdcard/update.zip
step 6
type push xxx\update.zip /sdcard/update.zip
(xxx = file location of downloaded update)
step 7
reboot and install as normal

[SOLVED] Problem with recovery

So I rooted using toastcfh's guide and everything works, including root (I was able to delete some of the bloatware ) but I am having one problem. Everytime I reboot into recovery, nothing comes up except for the background (the phone with the red triangle and exclamation point). To get the menu to show up, I have to run the recovery-windows.bat every time I want to use the menu.
Anyone know why it's not sticking and how to fix it? Thanks.
if you read toast's rooting instructions...
WHAT THIS ROOT METHOD SADLY WONT ENABLE YOU TO DO:
- Write to system or recovery while in android
- Flash a custom recovery that can be booted into by holding vol down and powering on

Because you dont have rw permissions while in android.
While in recovery do this
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
ls
This displays all apps.. Type this to remove them.
rm Sprint.apk
rm Sprint.odex
You must type exactly as the app appears and it is caps sensitive.
after i type adb remount i get (invalid)
will terminal work???

I'd recommend just remounting the /system partition while in Clockwork Mod... there is no real point to pushing a file while out of recovery since 1. You won't see the change, and 2. You'll start getting FC's. Note that you shouldn't have to use adb remount either in recovery... go to Partitions, and then mount /system.

No problem. Just next time remember to post in the Questions and Answers forums, as this forum we are in right now is for HTC Hero projects, such as new ROM's, etc.

You can do it while your phone is running.
Code:
adb remount
adb shell stop
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb shell start
Phone reboots and you have your new framework mods up and running.

[Q] Cant boot after changing /system attributes using CHMOD

Hi,
i was trying to change the /system permissions using adb shell... commands shown in the attached screenshot
my main purpose was to install CWM for which we need to push modified recovery into /system/bin which requires rw permissions....
to do that i used the command chmod 6 /system from root and then tried to mv recovery file from sd root to /system/bin but that failed
when i checked the /system attributes using stat -c %A /system it returned "d------rw-"
after that i tried to mount the system from shell command but failed... then the phone got hanged and when i removed the USB cable it rebooted straight into recovery...
since the ive tried to check directory listing with adb ls /system command but it returns nothing... adb ls /data also shows only 3 files... i had taken a backup of /system using adb pull but i dont knw how much that'll help...
i did not take any backups before that... was trying to install CWM so that i could take rom backup....
im not able to boot the phone normally...
i would like to know if i can go back to original state?? if not is ther any other solution like flashing a new ROM or something...??
i would like to extract contacts nd messages if possible...
System config:
- Samsung Galaxy S 4G... everything stock
- Rooted!!
thanks in advance...

'chmod 6 /system' did what you asked it to do. chmod, on a basic level, uses three (3) sets of permissions: global, group, and user. What you effectively did was set the user permissions to rw but blanked out everything else (like chmod 006).
If you can get into the shell, do this:
chmod 755 /system
That should put it back the way it was (7 = rwx for global, 5=rx for group, 5=rx for user)
See if that helps. Report back and let me know.
Real quick; I had my permissions backward. Although you still want 755 it should've read like this:
rwx for user
rx for group
rx for global
I had them backward.
Thanks stephen_w for ur reply...
I cant get into shell when i enter adb shell it throws this message
- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: Permission denied (13)
any idea??

I was worried about something like that. My guess is that your best bet is to see if you can get into download mode and flash a new ROM. Were you on Froyo or GB before? If you were on Froyo & you're trying to get to GB you'll need to insure you flash a ROM with the right boot loaders first, like chadster's KG4 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183413).
Let me know if I can be of help.
I was worried that I would have to flash a new ROM. Not that i mind doing it but ive not backed up anything!! I'd atleast like to see my contacts somewhere... let me know if that's possible...
So there's no other way to come out of this deadlock??
Im on Froyo... If its possible to roll back to stock Froyo it'll be great... If not i'll go for GB... Ive nothing against GB but i'd like to be sure everything works the way it was b4...
Its great to know you have and understanding of my problem... thanks mate...

If your contacts were set to sync with Google or your carrier, then they will sync back to your phone after you flash. Given you were on Froyo, you can grab one of the Froyo ROMs from the bible (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117554). Those will likely be rooted, deodexed, or something along those lines. If you want pure stock, you can grab that from samfirmware.com. You'll have to register to navigate to the firmware, though. I'd post a link but it wouldn't work right. Just go to the 'mobile' link and look for the SGH-T959V stuff. Either way, KD1 was the latest Froyo out there from Samsung.
Yup... I'll check on samfirmware.com..
sad abt contacts cuz dint sync the latest ones with google...
anyway i'll try the other method...
thanks..
Sorry man. Best of luck to you. Let me know if you get it fixed.
hi stephen_w,
I downloaded the T959VUVKD1 firmware from samfirmware.com....
I used odin to flash it...
after switchin on the phone in download mode... i flashed the firmware by browsing the file in PDA and leaving PIT, BOOTLOADER, Phone and CSC blank...
the process started and after cache.fs... below it was message:Complete(Write) operation failed.... it stopped nd showed fail in red...
i held the power key for a long time but then it started to show a phone linked to the computer with a yellow exclamation sign...
what does this mean?? im not able to boot into either recovery or download mode now...
please help...
ODIN will still see it when it looks that way, so don't fret! I had similar issues before but mine was a faulty download. Try using this one. It's not 100% stock as it's been deodexed, but it should work:
http://www.multiupload.com/7L5YDG8X8V
Ya im downloading tat one... Odin is detecting nd working... so i guess re-flashing should do the trick...
Jus to confirm I should leave fields other than PDA blank rite?
Yes, PDA only & let ODIN decide what should be checked.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Up and running jus like b4...
Thanks bro...
No worries; glad you're working again!
