[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeabrid:
I don't know what caused this.

I got my G1 today. It worked for probably 2-3 hours perfectly fine.

I had an app freeze (either Barcode Scanner or Lock 2.0) and had to do a full hard reset.

Now, whenever the phones screen darkens or I put it to sleep manually, it WILL NOT come back up.

I have factory reset three times now to try and get this to work.

When the screen is black, all buttons on the phone still light up and so does the LED indicator up top. I had my phone set to use a locking pattern screen at one point during one reset to test out and when the screen went black, I was still able to try and log in by doing my pattern. It unlocked, but still showed nothing on the screen.

Please help!

I've tried:

Turning Wi-Fi off

Turning 3g Off

Disclaimer: Yes, I've searched. I can find other users with the same problem but none of them seem to have a solution.

Phone is NOT ROOTED and has the factory ROM.

Update 1: Update: It only freezes/blacks out when I try to wake the phone from one of the front key buttons.

If I'm sliding to unlock, it seems to be fine.... (but if I've already tried to open from the front it doesnt)

Update 2: If I mash all the buttons in random orders for about a minute or two it seems to come back. Anyone have any idea?

Update 3: I'm thinking this has to be an issue with none of the buttons waking the phone up when closed. If I lock the phone with the "END" key, and then click the front "END" Key again, nothing happens. If I slide the phone open, and click it twice - the phone wakes up.

Update 4: Confirmed update 3. Phone will not unlock via front keys unless it's slid open (or open enough to trigger).

I would really, really appreciate help with this.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeabrid:
Hate to bump this, but I've added some detail on the top and bottom. Have to leave for work, hopefully someone might have an idea by the time I get back.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Well you can try to reload the factory rom or root it and try a custom rom and see if the problem still exist. If it is still happening then it would be a hardware problem and need to be sent in. And yes you will still be covered under warranty with HTC since the phone is still less than a year old.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karolis:
I had a problem with exactly the same symptoms. It turned out that the SD card was cocked-up so home, core, and some other process would hang trying to read it and the phone would not wake-up the screen any more.

Did you try removing the SD card and seeing if that helps?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeabrid:
Removed the SD card and rebooted the phone.

No change ( still acts the same way ).

Did you factory reset after or was it an instant change?

I don't mind losing data to fix this.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeabrid:
Wouldn't I have to root to reload the factory rom? Is there a rooting tutorial based just on that?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
If you use the official update you don't have to have root. There are some links on here. I'll see if I can find it for you.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
https://android.clients.google.com/updates/signed-gfh-CRB43-from-CRB21.c88b03d2.zip

That should be it, but can't confirm since I'm on my work computer.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derfolo:
Some thoughts--may be useful, or not:

Mine was doing that too, but it was caused because I dunked mine underwater during an urban exploring mission. I dried it out, replaced the LCD screen, and everything worked until it would go to sleep. Then I had to do a variety of button mashes and opening the keyboard to get it to come back to life. Sometimes it just wouldn't come back. The problem grew worse over time.

If wiping and reflashing (no need to use a stock ROM) gets you nowhere, then I would suspect a deeper hardware issue. I see you bought it used, can you contact the seller?

If you want to check for water damage, take out the battery and look at the tiny circular sticker in the battery chamber--if it is not white, it has been water damaged. (And the warranty will not be honored.)

Other Lesson: No urban exploring with G1s.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeabrid:
The link didn't work, btw.

Zero water damage.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derfolo:
That's great news zeabrid! In that case, I agree with an earlier poster--you should be covered by warranty. Wipe and flash a good rooted rom, and if that doesn't work, revert to stock and demand a new phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeabrid:
Do you have a link to a guide that teaches how to do this (with the stock rom)? I can only see a few that're spread out.

I'm not entirely sure my phone can boot into safe mode/disk mode, so we'll see about that.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeabrid:
Another update: When I boot into safe mode, the same problem exists.

Edit: Just emailed HTC.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeabrid:
This can officially no longer be considered a software issue.

I just rooted and installed a standard ROM. Same issue.

It happens all the way at boot now, just realized this.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeabrid:
HTC emailed me back and told me to call them directly. Will do that tomorrow.

if I find a solution I'll post it immediately.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeabrid:
Alright, my phone is officially ****ed.

Restored back to the original rom.

New problem now: When I close the screen, the backlight goes out and doesn't come back on. (I can still barely see everything, but there's no light).

Calling HTC today.

Edit: Called T-Mo support. They suggested deleting programs to free up space (I only have 2 downloaded and to reset (already done)

=(

Edit2: Called and placed a RMA with HTC after talking to two of their customer support reps. Thankfully, they forwarded me up the support tier after only about a minute with each person when they realized I had already tried all other steps.

The RMA process was surprisingly easy. I have everything set up, and when I get paid (tomorrow) I'm going to ship the phone out. I was given an estimation of 7-10 business days for full repair and return shipping (which sounds great in my opinion - I've never sent anything in for warranty work before).

I'll update you guys once I hear from their repair team on whether or not I'm going to be covered under warranty (I told them that the phone was a gift to me), and if not what the cost is going to be. Like I said earlier in the thread, all water damage indicators are clear and I have unrooted my phone, so I should be covered hopefully.

Thanks to anyone who posted in this thread.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Yea it defitenly sounds like a hardware issue and needs to be fixed. Glad your getting it fixed and you'll be covered no problem.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeabrid:
Do you know if they charge return shipping if it's covered under warranty? I have to pay my own shipping there, and they had me put a credit card down on file in case I either bail when its already there or they need to charge for repair.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
To be honest I don't know the answer but would like to say they would pay for it. But they would have to let you know of the charge before they apply a charge to a credit card.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RamZ19:
wow its weird cause im just having a similiar issue now.. in landscape mode.. phone and back light work perfectly. but one i close the screen everything goes virtually blank, everything is running perfectly just the screen light wont turn on..

thanks, for the info zeabrid
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] srtwrc5:
Good day guys and girls. I am new here. I have a Touch HD on the Telstra network but i am thinking of joining the ranks of WM6.5 and touchflo 2.1. I have read the flashing roms for dummies thread but there where a few things i wanted to ask. I currently use the phone for emails and internet everyday and i am just worried that if i flash a new rom i wont be able to use those features on the NEXT G network or get NEXT G coverage. Secondly is there a certain rom i need to use in order to use the phone on Telstra or will any of the wm6.5 roms work. I am new to this and really hesitant to do anything until i know everything would be good, but also itching to go to wm6.5. Any help from you pro's would be mutch appreciated. Thank you.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] grzegorz10:
I use a Telstra phone and have found there is no problem with any of the ROMs as far as G 3G or any of the services go.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] srtwrc5:
So if i was to use the Dusk rom would i just follow the Dummies guide to flashing 1.56+ roms. Any help is much apreciated.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] grzegorz10:
Yes thats where we all started. You need to go through that guide step by step. You only have to go through that process once and then like the rest of us you can Flash to you hearts content.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] srtwrc5:
Will it better for me to use the uspl method, I dont really understand it all but from reading it, it seems to be the safer method. Any help is aprecciated.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] aussiebum:
Yeah, USPL is "safer" in the sense you keep your Stock SPL... which basically means if somehow you brick your phone, they won't be able to tell that you've been playing around with it.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] srtwrc5:
Ok so if i decide to go ahead where can i download these from.

(USPL1a) RUU_Signed_Blackstone_stockSPL154.zip

(USPL1b) HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.zip

(USPL1c) USPL GUI v 2.5.zip

(USPL1d) A 1.56+ based rom- Dutty's latest rom linked here

(USPL1e) BlackstoneRUUWrapper.zip

Thank you all very much for your help. I just want to make sure i do this right the first time.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] srtwrc5:
Im sorry i didnt see the downloads in post 1. I just have another question. In the step USPL1D can i use EnergyROM_BLACKSTONE_20090816_StandardM2.5.rar instead of what is labeled in the dummies guide to flashing? Any help is much appreciated.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Answer to your query, yes you can use EnergyROM. Rom listed in guide was just an example.

Your title query has already been answered. All roms should work on Telstra network. Dummies guide thread already exists for guidance and help on flashing. Post all related queries in relevent thread.

Mine was terrible as well, but installing both the cab and the wmlonglife, my battery life has increased dramatically. The cab disables the data connection after 60 sec of putting the phone in sleep mode, and the wmlonglife leaves your connection at 2g, but will go back to 3g depending on the settings and programs you want.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
I often wonder in instances like these if the OP's are just lying and they didn't search or if they are so bad at searching that they actually come up with nothing.

@ OP: If you did indeed search and didn't come up with anything, I have a tip for you in the future:

Instead of searching for something like "un-rooting my phone so I can send it back to T-mobo"

try "unrooting"

I see it all the time with people who use Google. They try to search for a specific thing and get frustrated. Go broad, you can never go wrong especially in a forum.

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] CC CEO:
like the idea....mayb it would b cool if the spinner on the programs tab was a screw (flathead) and when up it twists left to end up vertical and when closed twists right to go back horizontal....

EDIT: also if the notifications pull down looked like a toolshed...red bar with a chrome handle and a transparent background....

it looks pretty nice!

good work, looks tight:)

Looks great, but how are you theming 3rd party apps? If the icons are in the apk's wont they disapear when the app is updated, or are you using better cut?

i love the ipod icons. They are like tinus theme or something. I have seen them before. Anyways, i love the idea and it looks good. The contacts icon kinda ruins it though. Change that before realease :D

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] poe11371:
Love it but never a fan of the tab

The apps drawer, instead of a tab how about the same bar you use for notifications? Could be copied down to be the tab puller thingey, right? If not maybe like a simple metal rectangular handle? I really like the "non-tab" pulls from other builds, where it's a black shadow with an arrow in the direction it's going.

Just find that tab to be such a waste of space and not to mention ugly most all builds/themes. Only reason why I don't mind it so much in the Hero builds is that it serves three purposes. But a 2x1 block on the bottom does nothing and throws off the "fung shui" in a sense. IMHO

Also, is there an option to special order it in Mahogany? The one a a few replies back is a bit too red, the one I have is more of a dark cherry Mahogany. And not for the keyboard but for the whole wood theme. Where this one is a birch/pine I am looking for something not so bright, can it be done?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] Diceman4:
Yo Jiqqaman check your PM, I made a custom boot screen w/your got wood image if you are interested.

Hey you know how your keyboard keys are kinda cut off on the

right side? Well if you don't edit the keyboard_background.9.png

as a draw-9 then it doesn't do that. If you just edit the png and

save it as a regular png and just add the ".9", it stretches correctly.
