[Q] Help! My Dream/G1 is half-bricked

Hi people, I hope somebody can help me, i'm desperate...
I was trying to change my Dream's Rom, i have root access and a modified recovery... but I was wrong and instead of changing the recovery completely, just did it partially...
the result, after flashing a new hboot, radio, rom and ezterry's kernel, was my phone has been useless ...
it get freezed at the screen of the operator and the pc does not recognize it at fastboot usb mode... so I cannot flash the .img file from fastboot mode!
My question is: is there a way to flash a recovery from a zip in your own recovery? I tried zipping the file and applying it from recovery, but the phone says:
'E: No signature (1 files)
E: Verification failed'
These are the settings in fastboot mode:
"Dream PVT 32B SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.22.0013d (DREA20000)
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.27.08"
I know it is difficult, but any idea is welcome...
Sorry about my bad english, and I hope somebody knows what can I do... thanks a lot!

Probaly will have better luck in the G1 section. Im confuused at what you're trying to do Just flash a rom that install a new recovery from there, no you cant flash a recovery from in a recovery

[Q] Need help i got problem installing recovery

Hi guys i'm been following tis "guide to Installing S-off, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on [03/AUG/11](noobproof)Thread" I was at step 2, after i hboot my phone there wasnt any update for me to select. i had try placing the .img file, .img file together with the PG58IMG.zip file and just the PG58IMG.zip file alone. i also try using another sdcard but all of tis fail. my phone was s off.. Pls help.. thank alot....

So you have S-OFF and can boot into recovery using vol+ / power? You already have PG58IMG.zip on your SD card, and when you get into recovery it scans the card looking for PG58IMG.zip? Does it them ask you if you want to flash this update?
Please describe what happens.

You sure its on your as card and not in a file somewhere? On your as card? that could be a reason. If I were you I would just download 4ext updater apk from my signature and you can install recovery with one click.

Maybe you had a bad download. Did you check the MD5 sum? Or try downloading the file from another source.

I had the same problem, I fixed it by running the revolutionary script on my computer again while connecting my phone in HTC sync mode and when revolutionary asks to install revocery just type y and then press enter and let it install recovery for you then you can root and update the recovery through rom manager after rooting.

FML.. my phone bricked.. i turn off my phone wen is connected to my pc and i unplug it.. after tat i try to turn it on.. it bricked.. i try to charge it totally no respond.. is at htc services centre now.. hope i get it back alive.. i stop rootin at recovery stage.. Thank alot for all ur help guys..

hi rddocke the rom u usin is exactly the rom which inspire mi to rootin.. haha.. is there a guide for a noob like mi to follow? minus the risk of bricking it.. cos it had being bricked once for mi i seriously dun tink it brick due to rootin issue..

No, there's no easy way for this. Everyone took the risk, you should follow the instructions word by word. I have a feeling that your .zip was renamed wrongly.

PG58IMG.zip is tis file name correctly?

hangs at HTC white screen and can't be detected

Hello Geeks
I have rooted my htc sensation last night and Flash CWM Recovery HBoot 1.27.0000.
I managed to root and installed superuser. After i installed a new font installer apk, the problem started.
I reboot my htc after installed it and it stuck at HTC (Quitly Briliiant) screen.
and I tried several times removed battery and put it back. it can't solve the problem.
I can access to Hboot, and i see Fastboot, Recovery, Factory reset, SImlock, IMaGe CRC,
i tried to recovery, it hangs, samething to Factory reset, (didn't try simlock) and Image crc work fine.
And another problem is after i unplug the phone from usb or wall charger, the red light is still on.
i have no idea what to do.
HOPE can someone here help me with something?
thanks in advance.
(will post more detail if someone needs it)

Perhaps you would like to try and re-flash the CWM Recovery again? If you can't access recovery, most likely your CWM Recovery is corrupted.

what if the phone can't be detected by pc? i can't connect to pc via usb last ngiht.

can you boot into bootloader?

yes. i can go into bootloader

from bootloader you can flash the recovery
jus connect the phone from bootloader to pc (phone reads fastboot usb after this)
get the recovery.img and copy it to your adb/fastboot folder
then open command window there
and type this command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
that should give you the recovery ....then go to recovery and reflash the rom

let me try and get back to u, sorry for late reply, just back from work
btw, how do i get recovery.img file ? sorry for noob q
i m kind of newbie to rooting and those stuffs

i managed to recovery. what's the next step? install custom ROM? and how to please?

if you are S-ON then follow this thread to install a rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
don't forget to superwipe first before install a rom and also enable smartflash if you have 4ext recovery installed
if not then i suggest to install that recovery

i don't think it is a battery issue.maybe a corrupted file(or it is an old link)
follow the steps from the guide and report results
best wishes

i managed to install 4EXT and i installed custom ROM (MIUI-PyroMod-Pyramid-V1.1.zip).
Now i saw my phone is rebooting again and again, is it normal?

ok then start again:
1)superwipe
2)enable smartflash from recovery
3)flash the rom again

wait ..no superwipe for AOSP/CM9/CM10/AOKP based ROMS ..its not compatible
use inbuilt wipe feature in 4EXT
4EXT -> wipe | format -> format all partitions except sdcard

i have an error msg, installation aborted!
sd card/ folder name/ Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_EB-2.zip..

Since you got S4 I would for now flash any of the roms until you find the RUU you want.

Theres a whole bunch of roms in the dev section... Just pick and chose, read the instructions, and everything should work fine.
Your issue is probably that you didnt read, and therefore didnt fastboot flash the boot.img ...

Read directions on the ROM page your doing it wrong... All the ROMs work fine.. You have to flash boot.IMG from fastboot.. And you don't restore the ROM you install it in recovery... If you read the first page of any ROM download page there are usually instructions you need to take the time to read the thread

After you Install the new rom go on the PC look for ur Rom and extract the Boot.img in the folder where ur fastboot is, get ur phone to the bootloader, then on ur pc flash the Rom Boot.img "Fastboot flash boot boot.img" and done. if you its still now working after that then you are def doing something wrong.

Thaaaaaaaaanx For ur help ... I read a lot but I think it wasn't enough to understand the whole things related to ROMS .. android .. etc
It's working now I'm working on CM10 even if it's bad about charging but it's better than throw my Mobile as what the mobile store told me thanx all

btw--did you make a backup this time--
seriously, backup (nandroid) your phone and sdcard and put a copy of each on your pc
you will probably need them at some point
i keep a couple nandroids on phone and several on pc since i flash several different roms

There is a sticky thread about it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25850720&postcount=8
1. You need to install the stock recovery: https://www.copy.com/s/umDeRk7nfBq9hU8S/recovery.img
2. in the bootloader select factory reset
3. flash a custom recovery and rom.
