I could really use some help.
I don't know too much but I followed tutorials and downgraded my phone to RC29, then got Cyanogens mod and his recovery as well. Then Today I got the CM Updater and tried out some themes. I got the EnochX theme but after trying it out I didn't like it much and wanted to change it but as I tried changing it, I couldn't change it to any other theme because none would work.
Frustrated...I tried wiping the phone thinking that would help me and after that when I restarted after the wipe, I get the G1 screen, then the EnochX boot screen and then it gets frozen in this weird dimmed screen that has very low backlight and I can't do anything.
I CAN go into recovery but I don't know what to do.
Could someone please help me? I really need to use my phone tomorrow and I don't have any spares at home =[ :sigh:
Anyone? =[
If you can go to the recovery, reflash the exact same CM version you want to use. it should restore it back.
IF it works, you should see the CM logo instead of enochx at the bootscreen.

Good luck,
I don't think I have the zip file on the sd anymore so when I go to Apply any zip from sd, it doesn't show me anything.
Do I try to apply sdcard:update.zip? Maybe I do have something there but I don't know if this is a smart idea.
do you have the file on your PC? you can push using adb it to /sdcard and it should show.
dont aplle update.zip if you dont know the content of the update.
if you cannot push the file using ADB, try copying using a card reader
Okai so I popped the card into the memory card reader. I totally forgot about that option, thank you!
Now what am I flashing? the CM rom?
No problem .
Yeah, flash the ROM and it should be working fine. too bad you already wiped.
side note : always do a nandroid backup before you apply themes. so you can revert back if you dont like the theme.
I learned my lesson. =/ Thanks I'll backup for sure.
Okai gonna flash now. God I hope this works
No problem. good luck.
Dude I love you. Thank you so much!!
Is there anything I can do for you? Like give you feedback or something like that. I know some forums have it I'm not too sure if this one does.
Awesome. I dont think there is a feedback system here. No need for it too.
Glad I could help. Have fun experimenting after this. Always nandroid
Hey guys, this is going to be my first post up here, usually just read up and find what I need no problem but today my first problem arose with my G1. I'll wrap it up quickly:
-Just got a new G1 through an insurance claim.
-Rooted no problem running SuperD v1.9.2
-Curiosity got the best of me and I attempted to try out CaNNoN Complete Eclair
-Didn't work correctly so I restored back to my most recent backup of SuperD v1.9.2
Once I restored, I found that all I had were the apps the SuperD includes built-in to his rom. Not one downloaded app was found on my phone. When I check in the market it still says all of them are installed, wont let me open them at all though. So of course I try to fix it myself and now my SD card just says Lost.Dir on it. Also now it goes through the T-Mobile G1 screen, begins the Super D boot image, and then goes black. I still have access to recovery, what happens now?
Mini update: Partitioned my SD again and now I get past the boot image, still no apps and I can't even reinstall them! Any help would be appreciated.

both of you wipe data, dalvik, and sd: ext partition. repair ext partitions and reflash. you're not bricked if you can get past the t-mobile g1 screen or can get into recovery or bootloader.
Thank you r3s-rt, for giving me hope but honestly, i didn't understood what I need to do.
Thank you
I'm unrooted now and i can't pass the android logo, I can't get access to the operating system. How can I do the partitions, repair and reflash?
you can try to start over and get it to 1.6 again by following this sites guide
upgrade.android.32teeth.org
already done that, but with 2 updates. No success

Buddy you need to first get a plain ( original ) 1.6 Rom as an update.zip on your sdcard boot into recovery , do a wipe THEN apply the update THEN reboot and wait , it will take a while to boot. DO NOT WIPE AFTER THE UPDATE is applied , you must let it *first boot* so it can rewrite the missing files..
where can I get that file? i've tried some but says no signature
I've already done that, nothing happens, the problem is still the same, I will try to flash HardSPL and see what happens
i was reading the topic of SPL and my phone is now unrooted, i can't do anything, i don't know what to do with my phone!
If you are un_rooted then you need to find a original un_rooted Rom , that was not signed with the test keys , ,if you are rooted you need to find a rooted Rom signed with the test keys , if you try to modify any of these roms before flashing them YOU NEED TO RE_SIGN THEM with the right keys , or you will get that no signature error ..
do you know where can I get that? Sorry about all the questions. Thank you
Everything that you need is in the link at the bottom of dan0zone's post right above you (#15). That is a walkthrough specifically geared toward G1's. The original image file for 1.5 is one of the first links he includes. He's even got the links for RC29 (US) as well as RC7 (UK)!
Remember! First boot takes FOREVER!!!! Let it sit for at least 5-10 minutes before doing anything.
Good luck!
I've already done that but nothing happens...what happens if I try to flash UK rom in USA phone? I don't know what should I try more.
is there any cupcake update or any way to don't need to slide the keyboard when ask for sign in or create a new google account? I can now access to the Operating system in Safe mode when I got almost bateryless but when i need to slide the keyboard to sign in my google account, the phone shutdown again. Any sugestion? I'm almost there.
Any help for me?

sorry, man. i have a tendency to just disappear and forget where i posted. are you using cyanogens or amon_ras recovery? i suggest amon_ra's. select the "wipe" option. then choose the first three options that appear. then flash super d 1.9.2.
or just follow the rooting process all over again. if you can't get into recovery.
(recovery is accessed by holding the home key while powering the phone on.) if you need anything else, please pm me. i'll always respond to a pm, but very rarely to a post. sorry.
Hi,
yesterday I wanted to install a theme from CMUpdater (had the latest CM running) and when my G1 wanted to boot it hung up on the T-Mobile G1 screen, reacting on nothing. After like 10 minutes i took out the battery and started in recovery mode and tried to load an old backup that I made a few months ago but this didn't work. Then I just wanted to install an old CM version that was still on the SD-card, but it always says installation aborted. Same goes for data wipe or if I want to apply any other zip from sd card.
Is my phone bricked just because of that stupid theme? Can anyone help me to make it work again? There should be loads of guys that know A LOT more about custom roms etc here ^^
thanks

Wrong place, please post in the right section next time. G1 Q&A
sorry, could some admin move that thread please?
if you can get into recovery its not a brick. Can you wipe from adb? I would try wiping from adb then flash a defanged rom (the one in cyanogen's wiki) and then flash the cm rom of your choice.
throw your phone away and go buy an iphone. If you cant understand the rules of posting in a forum, dont even attempt to root your phone and attempt to do anything to it. How long did it take to find the power button? How long did it take to understand how to push it?

Did you install the adampk rom?

no I haven't...
so far , what I did is
root the pone with the one clicker (wich was a success)
did the recovery with the clockworkmod recovery thing,
restarted and exectued this website's tutorial to jellybean (start with WWW stuff.androidauthority.com/g2x-p999-t-mobile-cyanogenmod-10-cm10-unofficial-115536)
and then, look like it failed..
this morning, I managed to get back to the recovery boot screen and found that if I press the house icon it show up a menu.. but this menu giving me access to reboot, wipe cache, data or install update.zip (which was supposed to fix my problem) but this menu is blued out and unaccessible..
dunno if it helped..
right now, I am trying to get acces to my phone doing the no battery boot thing but my pc doesnt seem to recognize my phone + I am at work hehe so I am pretty much limited in acces due tu the it protection and firewall stuff
I am gonna try to redo that stuff tonight at home but meanwhile, if any of what I described may give you a clue on how to help me, I really appreciate the effort!
thanks again for the support guys, I know it can be a pain sometimes to help people screwing some beginner stuff like I probably do right now

I say you needed to use the g2x android development forums on this site to find a suitable jb rom, not this other site. The one click method isn't very stable, so nvflash is most definitely what you need to try to get working. There are very thorough tutorials on how to get that to work. Do you know which clockwork recovery version you have installed? Should be 5.0.2.0. Once you get home, I suggest you read read read. Do as much research you can to make sure you can follow nvflash instructions to the letter. I know I personally spent about a week researching to make sure I had a solid understanding of the procedure.
I recommend getting nvflash going to get clockwork properly installed, then download a rom from xda, nowhere else. I would even say use a gb rom before trying a jb ...the jb roms are hackfest versions, so they have (from my experience) much poorer battery life, and lack hardware acceleration. Netflix and many 3d games won't work. You can use adampk or mazout's roms but they don't have working radio, i.e. no phone/SMS functionality.

Boot into recovery, there should be an option to format or wipe system. Do that then flash the ROM. It won't boot if you flash it over stock.
Also, use the paranoid android rom found in the development section, same cyanogenmod base but works better.

Ok, wait I think I understand what you're saying now. If you can, pm the op of that thread you used to unbrick. Ask that person if you need some kind of different file in that .zip file to work on your carrier.
I remember having to use that guide to get back to stock. Glad to see you're making progress. I know it can be frustrating when devices get wacky. Good luck!

hehehe sorry, I am not fully used to the right terms so I rather stay in the gray zone by using words like ''thing''
but I can now oficially say I was talking about ROMs
finally, I managed to bring back my phone to the stock mode everything seem to work!
now I can brick it again!
thx for the help!
I began to wonder if it was just a matter of changing APN settings?

1st of all, i am a beginner. Just brought my android ics phone last month. I also rooted my phone by the help of my friend last week. But yesterday i was trying to restore factory settings. But i accidentally wiped my system. And now my phone wont boot. It stuck in BootScreen. Nothing happens then. I dont have the backup of my rom. what to do now ??? Please help!! Sorry for my bad English & Thanks in advance who wanna help me
..
What recovery are you using? Even if you wiped the phone you should still have it running. All you need to do is reboot in recovery mode. Hard to tell you how as I dunno what the phone is.
Before that you'll need to download your stock firmware and put it on the root directory of your SD card if you have one, so that once in recovery you'll actually have something to flash.
If the phone doesn't have a SD slot, then you'll need to use a recovery tool on your PC to flash it.
Right now shut the phone down, remove the battery, find some guides specific about your phone, and read them carefully. There's a reason why we're using recoveries. First thing you should have done is to backup your stock firmware somewhere on your computer or on the cloud, and make sure you knew how to use it if something like that was to happen... Little late for that now.
When you'll know what to do, just mind that you still have enough battery to flash the stock ROM. Come back to ask help here if there's something you don't understand. Good luck!

No problem. Just install this partition manager free. It is perfectly adapted for windows 8. And you are offered a variety of options which can swap/merge/separate new partitions. With a very easy-to-understand instructions, everything is perfect!
