Factory reset won't help as you deleted the original files , flashing stock rom is a must
Well i will leave this post for people like me who needs help in this situation, everything went back after a time maybe 10 minutes after i turned my mobile off then on .. everything was automatically back to normal, just wait for it don't annoy ur self .. so no need for any reset cuz phone doesn't delete those files.

Ok so I called up Tmo because my G1 is acting messed up. I spoke to about 6 different people who had no idea what the problem was, and all offered to send a replacement...
Scenerio:
I had the phone charging and when I unplugged it, I hit the red "Hang Up" button (so I can wake it up). Usually by doing this, the phone would prompt me to hit Menu > My Unlock code.
However, when I hit it, it took me right to the UI, the "Desktop."
So that caught me off guard. I figured I may have changed some setting before, so I went to Settings>Security and Location and made sure my "Require Pattern" was checked. IT WAS!
I even tried to re-do the "shape" i made for the unlock.
From here, I wanted to go back to the main menu (desktop) so I hit the HOME key. NOTHING. Yeah, the home key does nothing. Nor does the Green "Answer" button.
What I've done:
1) Reset the phone numerous times
2) Uninstalled most recent applications + more.
3) Spoke to Tmo who had no idea.
Do YOU guys have any idea? Lool.
Thanks!
I'm living in beijing right now so when i had the same problem with my white us G1 i had to figure out a way myself. what i did was to factory reset my G1 and it went back to normal.

Raygun,
Thanks for the reply.
Just wondering though:
If I backup my apps with MyBackup, would I be able to restore them back on as if I never did a factory restore? In other words, if I restore with the MyBackup Backup, would I receive full functionality of the apps again?
Thanks again
I've had a very similar problem on a development image. If the phone thinks that it isn't activated, then it disables keylock, home, and the call button. The activation flag is stored in a database somewhere, but I forget where. Doing a factory reset and then activating again should fix it (if that's the problem).
The nandroid backup might actually replicate the problem, because the activation flag is stored in the /data partition along with all your apps..
This might not be the problem though!

Yep, minus the settings of each app, and the backing up of home shortcuts, if they are in folders...they won't be in the right place...but the placement of the folder and icons is correct, just not the ones inside of folders on the desktop.

Thank you guys both.
Factory restoring right now. If it comes to the problem aziwopqd said (replicating the issue when restoring) I guess I'm outta luck.
Let's hope for the best.
Side question: (i know its been posted numerous times) If I root my G1, could i re-flash it back to "normal" (as if i bought it... brand new(original OS ))
Thnx
Best wishes,
Had the same problem... I thought mine was water damage though. There was a chance it had gotten wet but wasn't sure. I didn't even think to ask about it here so I sent it in and got a warranty exchange. New one works great, and I rooted it and got jf rc33 1.42 on it without even touching a computer. I thought it was cool lol
Oh ya, and yes you can restore it to factory everything. Just flash the .nbh file. You can even upgrade from there to the ota rc33 if you wanted to...

I was about to get the exchange, but I tried a Factory Reset. It solved the issue.
Haha - nicely done. All without touching a computer? Impressive.
Yup. Going through a divorce and wife took the computer so I didn't have a choice. All you need is linda file manager, and an unzip app. You can do it all with the default browser and those apps. Now I have everything saved on my sd card in different sub folders so I can root any g1 and flash the jf modded rc 33 by just popping my sd card in and putting the files on the root of the card in order. Done it to 2 others already.

Sorry @ divorce.
Very neatly done. What unzip app did you use? I've tried the 2 (i could find), and they didn't really work. Lol.
Thanks...
I tried usuing linda first (love the app) since it says in supports unzipping. But nowhere could I find anything about how. So I got UnZip. It confused me at first, kept saying blah blah interupted blah force close or wait. So I force closed bout three times. Decided to press wait.... sure enough, sure enough about 1 min latter it prompted me 'unzip complete'. During that time, however, the phone 'acted' frozen. Couldn't scroll or press home or anything. But it worked in the end.
By any chance did those of you that lost your lock screen download the app aviator watch? I had this happen to me and that was the only app that I had installed before losing the lock screen. Also, I lost the option of silencing the phone if you hold down the power button. Under phone options it just said power off, the silent mode option was not avail.

Now that you mention it, I too lost the ability to silence with the power button. But no, never downloaded aviator watch...

Sorry sir, but I think you are right! I had the same exact problem and after reading this post. I thought I would try resetting the google account before a factory reset.
Went to Settings->Applications->Manage applications->Google Apps and cleared the data. Afterwards, it asked me to sign in as if I factory reset the phone. After inputting the credentials, everything started to work. Thanks!
Hope this helps anybody else.
Please could somebody help me fix a problem I am currently having with my Desire HD which started before the most recent system update to Sense 3.0 and continues now the update is installed.
The problem is with the personalisation of the ringtone, notification and alarm sounds. I started with the basic sound set as the default one and then downloads various sound sets from HTC. I then picked the sounds I liked from a variety of the sound sets to personalise all sounds keeping the sound set itself as the default one. This was working perfectly for many months. However, for no apparent reason one day the phone lost all of the sounds and replaced them with quietly brilliant. I put them back to the ones I had previously selected but the phone lost the settings again at the next restart. The problem is not consistent because sometimes all of them get changed at the restart and sometimes on a selection of them. It also sometimes happens without a restart being performed.
I thought it might be to do with the fact that the downloaded sound sets are stored on the memory card and there might be a problem with the card because the problem doesn't seem to happen if I use sounds from the default selection installed on the phone. However I have connected the phone to my PC as an external drive and performed a scan disk and defragment with no problems found. I have also dismounted and remounted the card. There are no other indications to suggest the phone is having difficulty accessing the memory card.
I have also been into manage apps and deleted all data files for sound sets and media storage, deleted all of the downloaded sounds from the memory card, and started again from scratch but the problem persists.
The problem also keeps evolving and now if I select a different sounds starting from the default sound set it actually changes the sounds associated with the sound set. The sounds that the phone replaces the ones I have selected is also becoming more random and the sound sets themselves are becoming mixed up too even if I am not using that sound set.
Can anyone suggest a fix or do I just need to perform a factory reset? Would a factory reset help?
Thanks.
I was unable to find a cause for the issue so in the absence of any other suggestions I tried a factory reset which seems to have fixed the problem... so far anyway.
I rooted my gear 2 and am now able to use my own ringtones and notifications without any problem. I pushed my own files (*.ogg) into /opt/share/settings/Alarms/ and renamed them to Alarm_TickTac.ogg, Alarms_on_call.ogg and Alarm_TickTac.wav (for a wav file). I got no sound at the end of a timer or an alarm set on the phone, so I deleted my own files and pushed the originals back. I still get no sound at the end of a timer or on an alarm set on the phone. Ringtones and notifications still work fine, but no alarm sounds. I've checked and rechecked the spelling of the filenames (including capitalization) and the permissions (ls -la) and everything SEEMS to be right. It just no longer works. I searched here and I spent half the night googling and trying to find similar problems and then I decided to just ask here. Anyone got any ideas? I DID want to be able to set my own sound for the alarm, but now I'd be happy just to get any sound back.

Thanks. I Did the first part of the guide (creating the sdb folder in the root of C and downloading those files. Then executing the batch file and it seemed to go fine. But then I moved to the second part - when I tried to run install-alarms.sh, it said command not found. It said the same for setup-folder.sh. And still no alarms sound. Of course, there's no files there now to sound. I deleted what was in /opt/share/settings/Alarms/ .
You mustn't be running tizen mod. The .sh scripts are included in his rom

I'm sure you're right. I had a Gear 1, and I DID run the tizen mod and had no problems like his. I just hadn't realized that there were more mods out there. Yeah, actually it's named Root GEAR 2 R380XXU0BNE5.rar. So, I'm thinking I should probably just run the tizen mod. It should install right over this one, shouldn't it?
Well I just tried flashing with TizenMod-Rom-SM-R380-NE5-by-Skin1980-v3.0 and Odin 3.09, and after a couple of seconds, I got the message "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)". I don't know where to go from here. A factory reset you think? There's nothing I'm attached to on that watch yet. Certainly nothing I can't redo quickly. I only got this watch Saturday.
Update: The watch isn't even ringing when I get a call. The notifications work - at least when I select them they play, but I just happened to be looking at the watch and I got a display of an incoming call, but there was no sound. Notification sounds DO work. But other sounds don't?
I did a factory reset and then tried the tizen mod with Odin again, and got exactly the same result. Failed after a few seconds. So there must be something there that didn't get reset that tizen can't mod. But now I have alarm sounds. But I have those obnoxious camera sounds and I can't customize ringtones or notifications. Maybe I should flash back to the original ROM and then do the tizen mod? Any idea where I'd get the original factor ROM?
Update: It works fine. I shouldn't do this when I'm sleep deprived. After a factory reset, USE debugging had gotten turned off again, so of course it failed. I fixed it, put the watch in download mode, ran odin and flashed it, and now I have my custom ringtones, notifications AND alarms and everything works great. Many thanks!
Oh sorry for some reason I didn't see these posts. Til now. Yeah reseting always disables usb debugging. To save time next time you reset. I've created an aio batch file to flash everything in 1 go. Head over to the tizen original development forum and take a look

This is a new problem... i originally deleted the settings for media storage after reading that that would get rid of the 3 times my ringtones were showing up in my selection list (when they only exist in one location.... i tried to make sure they werent duplicating themselves, the first 2 were silent and the 3rd was the real file.). so deleting that got rid of the 3 times thing, and i thought i had it licked. but every reboot, my phone forgets my ringtone setting... when i go to repick it, its not in the list, only the factory ones are.
Now, i *know* there is the work around of putting the one i want to use on the internal memory.... but thats kinda not the point... id like this to work properly. as it should. as it did before i reflashed. i reflashed the exact same rom and am using the exact same SD card.
upon googling and reading advice, i put a new folder on my sd card called media, and within there, ringtones, and notifications. (the site i read also recommended making one for alarms but i never use my phone as an alarm, ever. and the very rare time i will ill just pick a factory sound). As of right now, every reboot, i have to move the ringtone i want to use out from that folder, and then put it back in, causing media scanner to re-run, which then finally, once that is done, allows it to show up in the list along with the factory default choices.... but doing this every reboot just to have the sound i want is a ROYAL pain......... before i reflashed, it would forget what i had chosen on occasion, but at least then i could just go into the list and reselect it before... it didnt forget it existed, but only that i had chosen it. at the time that was a royal pain.... but now, id take that over whats been going on.
before reflashing i had a folder called "sounds" that it was able to see, all the time.... i had left it the same... but when my phone couldnt see that anymore, i looked for other ways of making it work.
Not sure if this is related but i have on occasion (2 or 3 times now) had my gallery forget about ALL of my pictures on external (whcih is where i keep all of them). deleting gallery data at least fixes that, and that doesnt happen every reboot either.
and before anyone asks, there is no ".nomedia" file in with my ringtones, or in with any of my pictures.
advice anyone??
anyone?? Ive already tried everything google-able
I just got my son an S21+ and the notification sounds don't work. Ringtones work fine and when I go to the list of ringtones every one previews when I select them, but when I go to the notification sounds, I can choose any one on the list and no sound comes out of the phone. I also copied a notification sound file over from my Note 10+ and it plays it in an external app, but not when I choose it in the list of notification sounds.
System sounds don't seem to work either. When I unlock the screen or plug in the charge cord, it doesn't make any sound either. The only system sound that seems to work are ringtones, and the phone actually rings when I call it.
I searched online and checked everything I found and could possibly think of. Since nothing happens when choosing ANY sounds in the notification sounds list, it seems like some sort of android issue. Do Not Disturb is NOT enabled, and all volumes are maxed out. There are no particular apps muted. I don't know if it's a hardware or software issue, but it seems like that part of the system is just broken. The phone did update to 13 as soon as I set it up, so I have no idea if it worked before that. I did a factory reset, cleared cache, and ran the repair apps from recovery, and it still doesn't work.
Just wanted to post on here an see if anyone had this issue and if so what else it could possibly be before I send the phone back and get something else. It is also a refurbished phone which I guess could have something wrong with it, but almost every phone I have ever owned was a preowned phone and this is the first I have had an issue with. Any info is appreciated.
I realize that this was posted 6 months ago but my phone has the same problem and I would like to know if a fix was found ?
I posted on here and a few other forums and got nothing but crickets. I ended up just returning the phone and buying another one and it worked fine. Did you get the phone like that or was it working fine and then one day it wasn't?
