[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
Lol okay then. Still think that if you report a hardware issue like you broke it, T-Mobile will still replace it as long as you still have the 1 year warranty that came with it. Like Cyanogen's issue where his touchscreen was messedup. HARDWAREE issue and T-Mobile replaced it :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speoples20:
I work for T-mobile and telling them you broke the hardware on the phone is NOT covered under warranty. The manufacture's warranty only covers phone defects not people dropping their phone. A touch screen going out is an example of hardware covered under warranty. Software is covered under warranty as well and all you have to say is the phone won't boot past the G1 screen. Thats all you have to say.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
All right. I rest my case then O mighty T-Mobile worker. :) No sarcasm haha.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoBlade:
Yeah its true, you do have to be careful if you plan on using the warranty route if its not totally legit, but then I suppose it differs depending on region. Over here in the UK it covers quite a few things like accidental dropping of the mobile, water damage etc. Which reminds me, I need to add my mobile to my monthly insurance policy...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
The insurance isn't really worth it =/ Even if you claim it you still have to pay 130$ here in NY
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoBlade:
Blimey... I pay £6/m (thanks to my credit card policies) instead of the usual £9/m that covers the mobile phone over accidental damage, theft, water damage, software damage etc. However if I do make a claim I think its £30-£40 for a replacement G1.

HELP! Is my g1 bricked?

After reading a few other thread I believe my g1 is bricked.

I was trying to install Superhero G3. After installing the radio provided in this thread:

http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f56/official-hero-g3-build-rom-18471/

My phone hung at the T-Mobile g1 boot logo.

I can't get into recovery or anything.

I bought the phone from craigslist, so I don't have a warranty or anything. My parents would kill me if they found out I have to buy myself a new phone.

PLEASE I hope there is something I can do to fix this.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonikamd:
Please do a little searching before posting. This questions/problem has been covered time and time again.. basically if home+power and camera+power do nothing for you than there's a 99.9999% chance nobody can help you at this point. Sry dude, hazards of playing with your phone...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Well you can't brick your phone by installing the radio. Did you install the spl before the radio? If you did that then yes your phone is bricked, but if you can't get into recovery or bootloader then yep you got yourself a paperweight.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigamrts:
why are people still bricking their phones there are plenty of post out there that say don't flash spl if your phone is a dvt don't flash spl first flash radio first please people take my warning to heart read all the forums for a week before flashing your phone make sure you use the search function and ask dumb questions before you even flash to get the full scoop on flashing if your not sure. you might get flamed for not searching hard enough but better to get flamed then to have a paperweight. i myself would rather flame you for not searching then bricking your phone at least I'll i'll tell you what you did not search for before you brick your phone. but i will not tell you how if it's already been addressed.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nasman1993:
Yes, about a couple minutes after I bricked it I realized I was supposed to flash the radio before the SPL, sadly it was too late. The site I got them from didn't mention I should do that, but it is my own fault for not researching. Now I'm stuck with my brick, and hopefully someone comes up with a hardware solution.

tried to install super hero v2, i got this message http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/1644/2psp2lv.jpg

now i am stuck on the bootloader screen http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/407/35a3gv7.jpg and cant seem to get out of it

have i bricked my phone?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigamrts:
nahh if the second pic is the screen you can get to then you should be fine with a reflash. make sure you do the radio first spl second then flash your hero just start from square one load rc29 get root the try again.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaysterX:
can you please give me a step-by-step as to how i do the spl radio first then reflash from the bootloader screen?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigamrts:
1 reflash rc29 and get root access again

2 flash the radio by renaming to update.zip no need to alt w just alt s

3 load the new spl rename to update.zip alt s no alt w

4 load the hero rom with a sdcard reader name that update.zip press alt w then press alt s

5 this should be all you need to get hero going just wait till hero fully loads it can take up to 10 mins to load fully

hope this helps
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaysterX:
but how do i reflash rc29 when i cant mount my sdcard to my computer and all i can see is the bootloader screen?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxawesome:
Power off your phone, take out the microSD card (the hatch to open that is next to the Dial button on the side), and put it into a USB card reader and connect it to your computer. You'll see it now as a removable drive on your computer.

Use this process for each step where you need to copy over a new "update.zip" (you'll need 1 for radio, 1 for SPL, and 1 for the actual ROM, and you'll need to do them 1-by-1 in that order).

The point is, if you can get to the recovery console, you're not bricked. Just be careful to do the RADIO update first, then the SPL update (to Haykuro's 1.33.2005 signed SPL), and LAST your Hero ROM of choice.

Hope this helps. Be patient and don't panic.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigamrts:
do you have a sdcard reader otherwise you'll have to buy one cause once you flash the spl you can only restart the process by reflashing the dreaimg through the power + camera button. if you have that still on the sdcard then just pull the battery and hold power + camera button then slide the battery back in to start the reflash of rc29
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaysterX:
im assuming you mean sd card reader and not usb card reader and once i buy one is there a step-by-step i can follow that will get me working again?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigamrts:
yes just drop the dreaimg onto the sdcard pop it back into your phone hold power + camera once the image flashes regain root access again and follow those steps i gave you from step 2 on this should be all you need
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaysterX:
ok im off to buy one now. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH, i am truely grateful for all your help and appreciate all the support.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaysterX:
ok so i purchased my card reader and i put dreaming rc29 back onto my sdcard and when i press alt+s it says installation aborted, isnt that how i flash rc29 back?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chevycowboyusa:
Have you tried??

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I found a trick to get out of bootloops without pulling the battery!

Do the three finger salute. Press end (red button) + menu + call (green button)

Wait till the screen goes blank.

CONTINUE TO HOLD THESE BUTTONS!

Slide your finger quickly from the call button to the Home button. Release the menu button.

Hold for a few seconds and release. (home and end)

This will take you to the recovery screen!

Good luck, this works every time I correctly slide my finger to the home button.

Once you have done this you might be able to do something from here.... I don't have a bricked phone to play with.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nasman1993:
I highly doubt this works, even though I'm willing to try anything with my bricked phone.

Just tried it, and it didn't work. How long do you have to hold it before the screen goes "blank"? And does the phone have to be turned on in the first place?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkrattu:
u formatted to fat32 right?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chevycowboyusa:
Should help

double post
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chevycowboyusa:
Should help

yes turn on phone first.

you need to boot up to the G1 logo screen

Should happen almost immediately.

if you can see the G1 logo. as soon as you press the green the menu and the red buttons (all at the same time (like ctrl+alt+delete)) it should turn the phone off. if you let all the buttons go then it should boot up and get stuck at the G1 logo.

if you do this again, and slide your finger to the home button and let the menu button go, it should work...

lemme know!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaysterX:
yes its formatted. do i need to partition it or something? i have heard you need to have two partitions.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nasman1993:
Sorry bro, but red, green, and menu didn't work for me. Thanks for the tip though.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chevycowboyusa:
no problem.

There are a few other Bricked threads throughout the forum.

quite a few different ideas too.

You did move your finger to the home buttom without letting go of the other buttons??

Then release the menu button? the G1 screen starts and the phone vibrates when I do it, and it goes to the recovery.

Did it start the reboot when you pressed the three buttons??
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nasman1993:
No, it just hangs at the G1 splash screen when I press the three buttons.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigamrts:
here's he scoop on the t mobile 5 dollar insurance plan a t mobile rep told me this you could smash it run it under a bus piss on it shoot it or dunk it in a bucket of water as long as the void sticker does not come of the phone you are covered. t mobile makes millions off us cause 99% of the people who have this plan never use it. so to hand out a free device to the 1% of the people who you damn well know destroyed the device is pocket change. now if you brick it and t mobile can prove it which would cost more than to replace the device or the void sticker comes off the the screw on the device then you just voided your warranty.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxawesome:
Just to be clear, you are pressing and holding the Green Call, Menu, and Red Power/End Call buttons simultaneously, correct? And then removing your fingers from the Green Call and Menu buttons while still holding the Red Power and then quickly also pressing and holding the Home button, yes?

It's a necessarily complex and annoying key sequence, but it should work, especially if all you did was flash SPL before Radio.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chevycowboyusa:
Pull the sdcard?

Have you tried pulling your sdcard, boot up, when your sure its stalled, pull the battery, replace sdcard and press home and end key simultaneously?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigamrts:
dude you just posted this procedure in another brick post and it didn't work there either. you did not hard brick your device that's why you where able to use that method. if you hard brick your phone that mean both the fastboot and recovery menu are both corrupted so no amount of button pushing will fix that. if you soft brick your device that means recovery and fastboot are intact which you can prove this by removing the battery and holding the power + home button put the battery back in while still holding the buttons if the recovery menu shows up then you have a soft brick which you can recover from. GET IT. in order to fix the hard brick problem you need to be able to push the recovery and spl to the device which a method for doing this has yet to be found. to be more correct about this an inexpensive way has not been found. now for 6 grand you can fix the phone no problem but i just looked at my bank account and i don't have 6 grand laying around. but i have not bricked my device either.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chevycowboyusa:
Just tying to help.

Well, like I said, "I haven't bricked my phone." I was hoping that maybe I found something that might help someone who has.

Thanks for the info, and I'll stop posting this.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nasman1993:
Well what I did was I booted to the G1 splash screen with the red button. THen I pressed red, green, and menu, let go of green and pressed home while still holding onto red and menu, then let go of menu. Nothing happened.

I also tried booting with red, green, and menu and doing the same.

Am I doing something wrong?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chevycowboyusa:
Guess it doesnt work.

Sorry, sounds like you did it right. booting from phone off by pressing home and power button and holding for a few seconds doesnt get you into recovery?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nasman1993:
Nope. No commands work on a bricked phone except trackball + power for the blue light, which still no one knows what it's for.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxawesome:
Try letting go of green and menu at the same time while still holding red and then also holding home.

Anything then?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonikamd:
This statement is 99% correct. Only inaccurate statement is that you get a free the replacement phone free. Only when using the factory insurance do you get a replacement free. When you use the t-mo insurance you have to pay a "restocking" fee of between 50 and 100 dollars. Atleast this is how it was with my last phone, pehaps things have changed. Can someone else confirm/deny this?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nasman1993:
Yeah I've tried that too, still nothing. I appreciate the help though guys. But I guess I'm just either gonna have to buy a G1 with a cracked screen and slab my screen on there, or just buy a new G1. I'll be keeping my brick though in case we get a hardware fix eventually.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Loconinja:
I am currently on T-Mobile UK. I ordered a TP2 on a new T-Mobile contract from MobilePhonesDirect.com.

I thought that to keep my number, I would have to PAC to a PAYG SIM on another network (e.g. Orange), and then PAC back to T-Mobile.

However, on the checkout screen I was asked "Already on T-Mobile" and "Do you want to keep your number?" I was not asked for a PAC code.

I did not think that was possible. Is anyone an existing T-Mobile customer who started a new contract via MPD and kept their number?

Cheers, Alex.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigamrts:
class 6 class 4 there no difference except how fast the sd card swaps files. as long as you have a good ext2 or ext3 partition your fine in that department i have a 4 gig class 4 and apps 2 sd works fine. the only reason people ask about class 6 is cause the transfer speed is 4 megabit for class 6 compared to 2 megabits for a class 4 it has nothing to do with weather hero loads fully or not. the wrong information is more dangerous than not getting any info at all. to repeat having a class 4 or class 2 sdcard will not cause hero to fail to fully load it will only make hero run slower. i get tired of people saying you need a class 6 sdcard to get things to run that's just ignorant of how storage devices work.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drieves1:
Ok. tried again this time it took. Didnt do anything different.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinyaznboi:
what you should do is

1. Partition ur SD card, even if your just using it to update. It will allow you to boot up atleast. Use paragon partition manager 9.0 and have the ext 2 be approx 500mb, after that is complete go to console terminal in recovery mode using Cyanogens Recovery Image, and update it to ext3 by typing in "upgrade_fs" without the "

2. Wipe, flash any Cyanogen 3.6x as it will clear some odex files ect. ( this will help you boot up Hero without bootloops from my experience) Have it completely boot up then turn it off and go to recovery and wipe AGAIN.

3. Flash any Hero ROM perferably JACHero the latest for best performance and speed.

4. After sign in ect. Reboot wipe and reboot again. Everything should go smoothly and be pretty fast for a hero rom.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alritewhadeva:
