My apologies.....

Ok, I had just partitioned my SD card, and had put SPL on it in the fat32 part as update. Restarted the phone and installed the SPL. After that the phone restarted and now im stuck at splash. Tried both recovery methods...got nothing. I have a card reader, so i took the sd card, re-formatted it back to original state, and loaded the SPL and tried the PWR+Home/Cam and still nothing

Did you make sure you have a PVT board? Cause if you had a DVT-1 or DVT-2 board you're prob out of luck. You could have told by powering on with PWR + Camera, not that it helps you out any now...

Do a search for the HTC Dream repair guide in the Dev forum. Give it a look and you will notice in the pdf their is a link that takes you to an HTC webpage. Gain access to that page and you may be able to grab a copy of the much sought after Diagnostic Prog that HTC uses to trouble shoot.

The trouble is you need a user/pass to get the prog, and i havent been able to find one anywhere that still works. The search continues...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzicman0:
when you say power + camera does nothing...does it not turn on, or what exactly happens?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWerd:
Turns on fine, just goes to the splash screen and thats it. I cant use any of the PWR+ commands

I can hold the 2 buttons for 15 minutes but the phone just sits at the splash screen
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tr.slate:
AH! Try hitting Alt+L and going to the recovery console. The splash screen times out after a while, and when it gives you the error message, Alt+L it, and maybe that will help.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skri11a:
Yeah, I hate to break it to you but you should have done a bit more reading before doing anything. There's tons of posts of people that bricked their phone that exact way. Either way, you're kind of stuck. There's a thread in the development forum about fixing the spl and phones bricked by H's SPL... you may want to read through that.

Hopefully you'll spend a little more time reading before jumping in next time. oh well, hind sight's 20/20 right?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzicman0:
AFAIK, there are no Pwr+Cam options...if it finds an image it flashes it.

OK, so I had some issues last week, and this is what I did...download the RC29.nbh (I believe the filename is DREAIMG.nbh...it was in the RC29 Zip file I downloaded.)...re-partition your SD card as fat32 using a windows computer (I tried a mac, and it did not work, but Linux seemed to...to be safe, just use windows.) Once it is partitioned as 1 partition, format it as fat32. Put the RC29 image on it, and do the power+cam boot up...it should boot up, and flash it back to RC29.

It is important that it be the right partition type, and only 1 partition.

Give it a shot, even if you have tried before...it took me a few tries to get all the info right.

Keys are (again): 1 partition that is fat32, and has the DREAIMG.nbh

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzicman0:
which SPL? I just did my wifes phone with hardSPL, and flashed the radio after putting the SPL on...I didn't have any problems...it looks like the brick only happens on some new SPL...but to be honest, I can't keep up with all the builds that are out there, I am just sticking with the JF builds.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWerd:
HardSPL i believe. Tried the solutions, still nothing
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzicman0:
no idea then. When you boot with the power+home combo, what do you see then?

Also, could you give us a rundown of what is on the screen when you do the power+camera combo...also, what color is the screen (usually gray or rainbow).

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWerd:
I dont get anything but the "Tmobile-G1" splash screen thats it. No more, no less....
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzicman0:
OK, that's for the power+home power on...

Are you ABSOLUTELY sure that it is 1 partition, with fat32 formatting on the SD card??

***************

OK...for the Power+Cam power up sequence, what does that show? it should not go to the T-mobile splash. If it does, make sure that you push the camera button first...hold it down while you press and hold the power button.

mm0
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWerd:
im pretty sure thats what im doin.

But im gotta reformat the card with fat32 agian

and what exactly should i put on th card? HardSPL? DREAIMG.NBH?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzicman0:
For the Power+Camera option, only put the DREAIMG.nbh file on it...and to be clear, the file extension should be lower case (.nbh), not sure if it makes a difference or not, but your last post had .NBH.

so...a step by step.

1) partition and format your SD card with fat32, and only 1 partition.

2) copy the DREAIMG.nbh to the card.

3) Insert card into the G1

4) while holding the camera button, press and hold power until G1 turns on.

5) it should boot to a grey or white screen, or possibly rainbow, and offer options to install the image.

6) if it doesn't install, press the back button, which should refresh.

7) if it still doesn't work, please note what the screen looks like.

they will ask if you rooted yout phone, ALWAYS say no, if they ask about any modifications act like the phone is still stock and you didn't change a thing. thy can't get anything from the phone and neither can you. they have a special tool to fix it and give it to someone else when they're done. so long as you play stupid like you have no idea what you did or what caused this you win a new(refurbished) phone

Good Times With Bricked Phones

Call T-Mobile

1- Tell them your phone isn't working

2- They'll transfer you to tech support

3- Tell them your phone was downloading Cupcake and you left it alone for a while..

4- When you came back it was off

5- They'll go through the various boot options....

6- Nothing works and they confirm your G1 is bricked...

7- They offer to send you a new G1 via ups 3day or for 20$ overnight it.....

And that's how I got my new G1..... Although it does suck I have to Re-do the Invisibleshield

Ok, I had the same problem as OP, followed these steps and updated succesfully. my question is, did this unroot my phone? I want it rooted, so will go through the process again if I need to, but wanna make sure it is unrooted before I root it again
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackslim:
Yup after successfull flashing of the DREAIMG.nbh file you are unrooted
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisAC84:
Thanks for that. Now I can't seem to get rooted again. I get all the way to flashing the ROM, which is the exact same CyanogenMod 4.2.3.1 I had prior to this whole incident, but it won't load past the G1 screen afterwards. I have been working on this all day, except while I was at work. Going through the unrooting/rooting/loading cutsom ROM process over and over again, but still get the same result. Can anyone please help? I am so frustrated
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mt3g:
what step are you at have you flashed the recovery image are you looking at the recovery image did you download this file, HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base or are you not reading anything and just trying things out of the blue lol and cyanogen has more recent things then 4.2.3.1, like 4.2.5....
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisAC84:
I am following the tutorial at Unlockr, and I get all the way to the end. But once I flash the ROM, it won't load past the boot screen. I don't know if I flashed the recovery image or not, I just did as I was told, and the end result got me nothing, lol. I did, however, manage to get it back to stock, so at least I can use my phone for the moment. I really liked my Cyanogenmod though. I had 4.2.3.1 and this whole problem started when I tried to flash the update. I didn't wipe first, so thats where it all went wrong and now I can't seem to fix it :(

EDIT: Using the G1, current firmware is 1.5
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisAC84:
Also, I tried starting all over again on the Unlockr tutorial, but when I try to load the first SPL, it comes back with no signature again. I can't even do that. I already have the same radio on my phone, so I don't wanna flash the same radio, but my HBOOT says 0.95.000 or something along those lines. When I load into recovery mode, instead of seeing all the green lettered options, I see 3 blue options, and I know something isn't right. Can someone PLEASE help?

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] trjons:
I have a 20 key Neon 300 that is itching for a new ROM.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] big papa rich:
Flasher beware!

There are a few ROM's here that I have found to be pretty good. One thing you may want to keep in mind is that once you flash a custom ROM, there is currently no going back. HTC does not offer an upgrade or ship ROM for the NEON 300 US. The best you can hope for at this time is to flash Bills rebuilt ROM. It is still not the original, and any warranty you might have will be void.

Now that said, here is a llist of the ROM's that I am aware of:

HTC Neon200 Build 21046 WWE and RUS

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=518975

It's a pretty decent ROM, as long as you don't mind a little Russian in a few of the apps. I don't speak a word of it, but it hasn't been so bad that I won't use it. It has Manila 2D and the customizer built in. Pretty good ROM in my opinion

SETH´s NEON V3 FINAL & V3 LIGHTER

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=419892

Pretty basic but stable ROM, it has a few little extras but nothing that takes up a lot of space. I have not used the "Lighter" version, but I can imagine that is is Lighter than the other edition, lol.

Seth actually has two other ROM's as well. I have not used his V1, but his V2 seems to run pretty well.

If any body has flashed a custom ROM, but decided that they wanted their old ROM back, sadly an original ROM is not available. But, if you click on the link in my signature, that ROM is probably as close as you can get. I personally used it for several months and never had any problems with it.

Well, there you go. There are probably more, but these are the only ones I have used.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] dario69:
My issue is with the touch screen slow downs that seem to be corrected with the s600 touch.dll file. But I have tried to install this from some of the other links on this forum but to no avail. It seems to be designed for other phones besides the neon300 or it just needs to be burned into a rom image for it to work on the 300 in particular.

Big Papa, does your rebuilt rom include this? The stock rom is fine in my opinion only because it isn't bloated out like the ATT stuff but this slow down is so annoying. Thanks.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] big papa rich:
The rebuild was intended to be as close to possible as the original ROM. It was built from a stock ROM dump with nothing added or changed. It does not have anything like carrier splash screens or other junk that would be on it if you bought it through a regular phone provider. It is pretty light, and works very well if all you want is a very basic ROM. It's pretty much what you would expect if you purchased it directly from HTC.

I'm pretty much just a layman, I am still just barely learning about programming and modding and the only changes I make are if they are fairly simple to understand, with step by step directions. I usually just read through the threads and listen to what other people say about how well things work, or what kind of problems they have been having. When they go into any detail about coding or Reg editting, I tend to get pretty lost.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] dario69:
Thanks for the response Big Papa Rich. And thank you for building this rom. It could be a nice fall back if I mess things up

Oh, I didn't build it. That was bill48105. He did all of the work, I just enjoyed it.

I have a Verizon XV6900 with unlimited data connection and I have the gps enabled with Google Maps (cannot seem to get it to work with TomTom)(any suggestions would be appriciated).

Anyways, my wife has a ATT Tilt with no data plan. Her gps works fine so is there a way or software where we can see each other's gps locations without her having a data connection?

[General Questions and Answers] syqe:
Any GPS software with bundled maps don't require any data connection (tomtom/igo).

Google maps does not bundle any map, so it has to cross check your gps location, and download the map for that location.

not sure if it will work for you, but what worked for me (HTC touch pro, custom ROM PROven):

1. go to Settings on your HTC, Connections, USB-to-PC, select ActiveSync radiobutton,

uncheck

the "Ask me first about...." checkbox.

2. connect your phone using active sync.

3. disconnect (unplug)

4. go to that same settings again. Now select the other radiobutton (DiskDrive), AND

check

the "Ask me first..." checkbox.

When you now again connect your phone, it will (hopefully) ask what connection you want to make.

Otherwise, try changing the order of the above actions.

hope that helps.

Hello all I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me with something. I have Haykuro's Rosie Rom and I moved a couple widgets from system/sd to data/app and it is now showing that I have two of each widget I moved. i basically want to look in data/app and system/sd to see where it's coming from. Can anyone tell me what commands to enter into Terminal Emulator to see in those folders? I googled it and got a bunch of stuff on Linux commands but I could not locate anything specific to what I need to do with the G1.

Thanks for any support anyone can provide.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmikemcguire:

ls -l /

Then the destination of the folder

So for sd card it is /sdcard/ etc....
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisrj28:
Thank you so much. That helped me look into system. So now my next question for anyone that knows, when I moved the HTC widgets from /system/sd/app_s to /data/app (I am trying to speed up Rosie) it automatically linked it into /system/sd/app. Is there a way to stop the link, just for those .apks so they will in fact go to /data/app.

Hopefully I havent been confusing with that question.
[G1 General] Croaka:
Okay, here's the sad story so far:

I have a (previously) unmodded G1, with normal T-Mobile software. Yesterday morning around 5AM I get the little notice that I can upgrade to Cupcake. Unfortunately, it's 5 in the morning, I couldn't sleep, and I wasn't thinking all that straight... so I decided to root my phone and upgrade it to 1.5 instead.

So I downgraded to RC29, got myself root access, and installed the latest Jesus Freke build. Now the fun starts. As soon as the phone boots into the JF build I get constant android.process.acore force close errors. And I do mean constant, I force close, and it pops up again, force close, pop up again ad infinatum. I reflashed a few more times, varying the order of installing the radio update and misc. stuff like that, but still no luck.

So I decide to go back to the T-Mobile build without root access. I mean, I lived without it before, and not having root is better than not having a functioning phone, right? So I download the official cupcake update from google's dev site and install that. Woohoo, no more force closing, it looks like everything works!

Orrrrr not. I can't get into Settings now. I've tried to open Settings from the home menu, from a shortcut on the desktop, and through the menu button. Every time I try to do so, it will open up a black screen (like it's starting to load the settings menu), stay there for anywhere between 1-4 seconds, then go back to the main desktop screen. Everything else on the phone works, Market, Camcorder, soft keyboard, everything. Most apps I've downloaded also seem to work. However, when I installed the Toggle Settings app and tried to toggle the GPS, it popped into the settings menu with a black screen with the Security and Location text at the top, and then promptly went back to the app without changing the GPS.

I've tried everything I can think of at this point and the almighty Google doesn't seem to have any answers, anyone else able to give me some help? It would be much appreciated.
[G1 General] Croaka:
Update and bump, because I really need some help here:
