Have you tried the NBH Orange image and instructions provided by EZTerry for updating the SPL and HBoot? If you have root, that should work. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831139
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GolfnWrx:
I had a very similar issue a couple of days ago....

Assuming that you can still load files the SD RAM (if not let me know, I can probably help):

1. Please search unlockr or YouTube : How to unroot G1

http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/23/how-to-unroot-the-htc-g1-dream/

2. Follow the instructions, it will give you back a working G1 with stock 1.6 stuff.

Fixed me yesterday and now I'm back on Super AOSP.

Cheers.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quist80:
Hi GolfnWrx and sisterchick,

I think ill just explain again what im getting here on my HTC Tmobile G1

1- when i press the power button it turns on and freeze at the G1 screen

2- when i press the Menu+green+power buttons it would still go to the G1 screen and freezes there

now if i try to root my device

1- i cant mount SDcard since it freezes at the G1 screen

2- im copying the .nbh file and other files using a Memory card Reader

3- pressing the cam+power buttons after inserting the SDcard in the phone again shows me that its loading the .nbh and the other files and it also shows me that i should press the power button to proceed or the green button to cancel but its again frozen and no buttons would respond.

so theres no way that i can mount the SD or open or run any command through my phone cause it freezes. I am not sure if there are really old and new nbh file if there is i got here like 5 to 7 copies of it and none of them files helped

so my question is is there a way to flash the memory of the phone without using any internal phone menus or command exactly like formating a computer using a system CD??
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sisterchick:
I misunderstood - I didn't realize your phone was not rooted. The nbh file I directed you to - along with the instructions - are not flashable. Copying them to your SD card will not result in a change to your phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeenAndroidized:
Which nbh file you are tryng to flash? Where is the g1 from? IE US, UK...

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quist80:
Hi,

I just tried the US and the UK nbh files the results were the same :(

i have no idea what else to do.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldrifta:
got to try and find out where the phone is from first.. even if we could fix this it would help to have the correct files lol. but umm im a lil behind on the whole thig so what have you done so far?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quist80:
ok i found out that its froom the US I tried to load the .nbh file (US version) it didnt work check the picture i attached on one of my posts right now im trying to access my phone files using droid explorer which it gives me the ability to install all the files il suppose to load to my phone like Radio or the SPL even CM 6

but nothing is happening.

now if i view the the logcat using (Droid Explorer) its shows me this

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldrifta:
ok what you want to do is power off your device. than you have to hold the home+power buttons, keep holding them untill the G1 logo appears. and depending on the screen that comes up which in your case it should be the little triangle with "!" in the middle of it? if thats the screen you get, than i need you to press alt+l <<thats a lower case L :D) after pressing that a menu should pop up, then you are going to press alt+w which will reset your phone to factory default. so make sure you back up all the files you need on your sd or computer.

when you power on the phone holding home+power if you get a different screen from what i described than you may possibly be rooted, in that case DO NOT follow those instructions bcause you will have to flash a rom...

try that first and tell me what happens

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quist80:
thats true but believe me or not i got the solution right here on XDA forums :)

Read these articles carefully and you will have it the way you want it to.

First read this guide and you will have adb installed on your pc so you can run commands on your phone http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=532719

now when all that is done and you have your adb installed and your phone connected all you have to do is wipe all data from your phone then load the images required as its been clarified in this post

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=566669

now that you have recovery image loaded into your phone go to this site to finish the loading the rest of file as its shown in this post

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=442480

was doing all the steps mentioned on those posts and trust me it a long way and it cant be easier than this

so what i did was deleting all data on my phone

mount the sdcard

copy recovery image to the sdcard

and use the command flash_image recover

and i got my phone working :)

well he uses the video in the rooting part but you have to downgrade first so thats what im hoping your phone can do.. because you can get into recovery and bootloader so you need to downgrade than try the market again.. after down grading... open the link to that video and look in the description to a link on how to downgrade! thats what you need.. you can just go on google.com and make a new email to use with your device but i dont think thats the problem..

tell me one thing to downgrade my phn he uses two files dreaming.zip and update.zip what i hv to do is format my sd card and turn on the unknown sources from applications and make a root folder put the dreaming.zip and update.zip files into it without extracting them both then turn on the phn with camera and turn off button the 3 colors screen will show. but my phn is showing a serial 0 error and also in recovery mode it shows E:can't open /cache/recovery/command .why is that so and how it can be fixed and also tell me the downgrading procedure iv described is ok or im doing it wrong
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldrifta:
you dont make a root folder.. you have to put the files on the root of your sd card which means in NO folders lol and the DREAIMG.nbh does have to be extracted but not the update.zip.. so on your sd card you want update.zip and DREAIMG.nbh(not a .zip folder)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abeer ahmed:
hey u hvnot told me about the serial 0 and E:can't open /cache/recovery/command why are they showing

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldrifta:
hmmm only thing i can think of is yu might have a uk model... and your getting the errors because it cant flash the zip file.. now for the DREAIMG.nbh file to not work? it either the wrong one, or your phone is from the UK.. is it?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldrifta:
when you downgrade you have to flash the zip file first and make sure it says "update.zip" DO NOT add your own ".zip" because it might actually be ".zip.zip" lol make sure it is on your sd card along with the DREAIMG.nbh file than boot into recovery! now you want to press and hold alt+L to bring up list, than alt+W to wipe data, than alt+S to flash the update.zip file, power off than reboot into boot loader (camera+power) and press power button to apply update.

use these files...

3- get superoneclick so u can root or unroot ur mobile

The title is self-explanatory, will it be possible to create a homebrew WiFi tethering app with the new API's of the upcoming Mango update?

Thanks everyone :-)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabnie[Ger]:
I'm very interested in an answer to that question myself.

If I'm not mistaken than these things won't just be up to the API's/Apps but also to your operator.

It just happened somewhen during the last year that i.e. O2 Germany opened this feature for iPhone users. I think to remember that I read somewhere that it's blocked for most of the O2 contracts nowadays (especially those with mobile internet including a "flatrate").
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyruss89:
I am interested if it could be achieved with the new API's. Neither BASE nor O2 block tethering in the network, O2 only blocked it on the iPhone by not allowing the setting on the device. I could tether with my Palm Pre and N95 8GB since ever with both carriers.

And I don't' think a carrier can stop you from installing a Homebrew tethering solution ;)

Alright, I didn't know that. Somehow the crying of all the Apple users made it sound a little worse to me ;)
