[G1 General] austinslacker:
The "press camera and power to get to bootloader" procedure. I've tried holding the Camera while pressing power over and over and all I get is the triangle. However if I press power and the "back" button (swooping arrow to the left), I'll get the bars screen, and a Gray screen telling me to press send to restore.... Which is all good, but there's no progress or any thing to indicate that i've done something by pressing the send button.(based on cell phone standards, I'm assuming "send" is the green "call" button.

Is this normal?

No yeah.. he gave me the G1.. its mine. I just need to fix the little bugger.. .. well.. then laugh at him :-P
[G1 General] austinslacker:
Ok.. one more day (well ok.. couple hours) of fiddling with this thing, and i'm begining to wonder if Microsoft was involved. I'm not able to get this poor G1 to do anything new. I tried using a different SD card, hoping perhaps the one I got with it was bad... no dice. camera + power doesn't do anything useful.

I can connect it to the PC.. but i can't see the data card that way. adb devices reads no output, so its not correctly attaching to the PC (tried Windows 7 32bit, and Windows XP 64bit).. There's gotta be a good way to force a known good image onto this silly thing.

Is it probable that the internal memory has gotten corrupt somehow? I know someone out there's got the golden suggestion, please do tell if you do. I'd really like to use this phone.

[G1 General] pjcforpres:
If you can get into fast boot (the tri color screen) there are ways to flash it... try getting into your tri color, then plugging in the USB cable and see if it switches from Serial 0 to USB at the bottom, if so you are golden to flash using the fast boot method.

There are guides around on how exactly to do that, as well a couple places that you can download the official RUU that will do all the hard work for you!
[G1 General] austinslacker:
gah.. nothing doing. I can hit Back and Home, and end up with the tri-color screen for about 1/5th of a second, then a gray screen saying:

This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press Send to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.

At this point, the unit is dead. I can remove the battery, and continue on my little quest.. but hitting *any* key at all (including the Send key) will not produce any sort of output. I've tried pressing Send one time, then setting the phone down for a full hour (watched a netflix show) nothing. I can't power it off either w/o removing the battery.

I would throw in the towel.. but from all the research i've been doing, it seems as if this one is behaving in a manner in which other forum users havne't posted. Maybe by continuing to try options and post results, a positive outcome will come out, and someone else who has a G1 behaving this way will have an easier time.

... or y'all can tell me that its toast and to bugger off.. ha ha.. either way.. I continue to google. If you can think of anything, please toss it out.

OH!.. tried an RUU.. found one called. RhodiumSPLRelocker Looks promising.. but can't see the device when attached to the PC... yeah.. guess the phone has to have a functioning OS before that will happen...
[G1 General] pjcforpres:
You would want a Dream RUU... I looked around a bit and couldn't find one. Maybe someone has a quick link?

Double check that your SD card is formatted FAT32 and see if you can get ADB to see it when on that greay screen.
[G1 General] austinslacker:
I've formatted the SD card in FAT32 multiple times.. I even questioned if my Windows 7 32bit would do it, and formatted it on a laptop running XP 64bit. adb doesn't seem to see it ever.

I don't get why I can't get it into fast boot. I've been looking on ebay for dream G1s with broken screens.. heh.. I guess i'm preparing for the worst. really sad, becasue this G1 was actually pretty well taken care of. My friend didn't do anything he shouldn't. HE woke up one morning and it was like this. He lives out in the country.. so he gets pretty spotty signal. I'm wondering if T-Mobile didn't push out an update, and it got interrupted by signal loss.

By the by... I've been doing all this work w/o a SIM card. Does that matter?
[G1 General] cqms13:
its not the green send button -- its the red end button

see below extracted from http://theunlockr.com/2009/07/05/how-to-unroot-your-t-mobile-g1/

Load the DreaIMG.nbh File

1. Download the Original DreaIMG.nbh file:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XXSQ0T7W

2. If the file downloaded above downloads as a .Zip file, please unzip it first then put the DreamIMG.nbh file that is inside on the SD card, NOT in any folder. (If you did Section I the phone is off still, take out the memory card, put it in the MicroSD adapter and plug it into your computer to transfer the file over, since your G1 won’t turn on right now if you did Section I above. Otherwise if you did not need to do Section I above, then you can just put it on the SD card normally using the usb cable and the phone).

3. Turn the phone off if it is on.

4. Turn on the phone by holding the Camera button and the End key until the bootloader screen turns on.

5. Hit the

End key

to start the update. DO NOT INTERUPT THIS PROCESS.

6. Once it is done, hit the trackball to restart the phone. You now are on the stock firmware RC29
[G1 General] jorge89:
You mention that you can access fastboot by pressing the back button while turning it on, isn't that how the hero gets into fastboot? maybe your friend tried flashing a rom that was meant for the hero. if you have access to fastboot you should be able to flash a new image from there, just place the image file in the root of your card and follow the fastboot instructions
[G1 General] jorge89:
Also if fastboot isn't doing it for you have you tried adb? if you don't know what that is look it up I've seen a couple guides on how to do it and they are really detailed.
[G1 General] deftoneage12:
Im having the same problem, Im stuck in the recover triangle of death. Ive done the alt+w and reboot, the RC29 DREAIMG.nbh , the update.zip, camera+power, I cant get the gray screen to pop. Nothing, its brickkkkeeeddddd, FUBAR. There has got to be someway I can reload this G1. I wasnt trying to root it or anything. I was bowling and then it triangled on me. Anyone have any ideas at all on how to fix it?
[G1 General] mateusfnicolau:
Triangle of Death

I'm from Brazil, I can't take it to t-mobile to fix...

when i tried to root my G1 did the downgrade perfectly, the screen was just as it was suposed to be.

But in the recovery mode boot, appeared this triangle with an exclamation...

what do i do now???? help plz!
[G1 General] deftoneage12:
Any one have any ideas? hell ill pay someone to fix it for me
[G1 General] Gorkytje:
The only idea I have is make'ing an goldcard so your sure your phone accepts the update (dreaimg)... other than that...

[G1 General] Tony_SpaZ:
Any chance the home button is stuck? I'm not 100%, but I think if you were to hold home, camera and power, the recovery would come out on top.
[G1 General] deftoneage12:
Home button is not stuck, and cant seem to figure out the CID of my SD card since my phone is unaccessable.
[HTC Excalibur] pallen82@gmail.com:
Of usually i search and search until I find an answer but I have now idea what to do...

-T-Mobile Dash with a Cingular Sim running Kavanna 6.1 (and kavanna has ran fine on it for the most part)

-Phone randomly froze (wouldnt let me type a text msg)

-Powered off

-Went to power it back on and nothing -no lights, no nothing

-Tried the two softkeys and power button for two seconds

-Tried te camera button and power button

-Pulled batter multiple times and pulled all cards from it

-When it is plugged into a wall I dont even get a power charging light....

Any ideas? I cant afford a new phone
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
looks like your battery is gone:eek: Try with another battery
[HTC Excalibur] pallen82@gmail.com:
woulnt I be able to get some sort of power or light with the batter pulled and it plugged in? cause I dont....
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
Not if your battery is completely waste it. Check if your battery pins in your dash make full contact with your battery, because that can cause a problem (very odd, but it happens). If not, try another battery.
[HTC Excalibur] Empel1960:
Have you checked your charger, I guess is damaged because if your battery is damaged or if is no battery at all and you connect the charger the led will turn red.
[HTC Excalibur] bootrecord:
sam happened w me, no solution yet

hate to tell you that you might have bricked your phone,

the same happened to my excalibur, when i tried to flash it -mistakenly- with the wrong rom,

thing is; the rom is controlling the power charging process and the battery support to the device, if something went wrong with the rom for any reason; then no instructions are sent to the battery neither the charger, therefore: no power sign of any in the device.

i couldn't find an answer to fix my dash, but i think the solution is either changing the rom or JTAG-ing it might solve the problem, though i have no tools neither knowledge to do so.

sorry pal, the bright side is: you are a member of (BDC) the Bricked Dash Club :)

cheers
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
With the information provided it hasn't been your same case due that he hasn´t flashed any other rom, so basically he can try another battery and see what happens.:D
[HTC Excalibur] pallen82@gmail.com:
errrrrr

New Battery - Still no lights and using the reset features found in the unbricking tutorial do not work.

Tried using a cable from my comp to give power to phone so it isnt power cable

So what now? I cant even get to a bootloader screen or anything.... I cant afford a new phone ERRR

**Update-

Was plugging in the USB cable and looks like it gets a connection only when it is plugged in a little but this not just at the end that connects to the phone (it happened when the phone was already plugged into the cable and I was plugging it into the comp and vice versa) Um so that is strange - the light does not stay on and when the battery is in the phone I do not get that quick red flash - so it still doesnt work and cant do anything
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
Maybe is your USB port causing the problem.

[Nexus One General] nsm:
Hi All,

I have been experiencing poor battery life with my N1 - until I stumbled across the issue.

Now I am trying to figure out how to fix the issue.

Basically; I have 3 email accounts setup (1 push to corporate exchange and 2 pop3 accounts).

What I have noticed is that randomly the email accounts will fail to receive emails and when going into the email app the loading circle (or whatever it is called) just spins and spins indefintely. This obviously results in usage of the phone (i.e. not sleeping) and the phone heats up and battery goes down v.quickly.

Now, I know I have sufficient network coverage as I am able to surf and use other network required programs - so it does not appear to be due to not being able to get a data connection.

Has anyone come across this issue before?
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
yeah I have this issue too... its pretty annoying.
[Nexus One General] nsm:
Ok thats comforting...sort of. Atleast it is not specific to me then. Sounds like a bug?

What do you do about it?
[Nexus One General] icon57:
i have a similar issue...my pop mail...just wont receive email...it looks, and stops...but no email...its not draining my batt btw
[Nexus One General] nsm:
Slightly different in that mine looks and looks and looks and just keeps doing so - until it has drained by battery as best it can. Most of the time I have realised as the phone gets hot due to not sleeping. So I can kill it off.

Quite annoying however. As email is fundamental program with these types of phones.

Is there somewhere on Googles site where we I can inform them of this issue?

Hi. Is it possible to take a program off of one Windows Mobile phone and set it up to work on another? What I want to do is take the latest version of Oz Messenger on my Dash 3g, and put it on a Dash I have running WinMo 6.5. I can't get any of the other Oz Messenger cab files that are on here to work. They work, but they give me a connection error. So I want to get the newest version and try it. Thanks for any help. I've been looking through these forums and others for about 12 hours now, so please don't assume I haven't.

On my HTC touch HD, when in emails, I could scroll through the different emails in every emailaccount, and tap the mail I wanted to come up. In my HD2 I can however scroll through the emails but cannot bring them up by tapping. I always have to push More and then scroll down to find the email I was looking for.

Is this explanation clear ?

If anyone has a solution, please help me out ! Thx !!
[HD2 General] Archer:
Please search in future, and don't expect your results to come up within the first few threads. You need to actually search when you search, not just give up.

Go to start and then lock (bottom left softkey).

It works after that.
[HD2 General] dannygroeneveld:
I had the same question. How could anybody know this behaviour of the HD2? Didn't find anything in the manual. Anyway, thanks.
[HD2 General] Archer:
It wouldn't be in the manual as it's a bug, not a feature.

Anybody could "know this behaviour" by searching this forum - that's what it's for.

Anyway, I'm glad you've now sorted it and know how to do so in future.

Mobipocket Reader is what I use. I touch the screen for turning pages.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] myknyte:
iSilo all the way

I've been using iSilo from the beginning --all the way back from when they use WinCE? ok.. maybe Windows Mobile 2003 or something like that.

Best thing with iSilo is

1) Reader is free (you can use the free with limited functions, but does not hinder reading 'books')

2) iSiloX convert is free (convert any *.txt, *.htm, etc to iSilo format). There are various converters to convert your *.doc or *.pdf or what have you to *.txt to convert with iSilo.

3) iSilo has a very small foot print as compared to similar *.txt or *.doc files.

4) Easily configurable on all aspects from fonts/colors (foreground, background) to various keys to turn the page. When I switched to the Rhodium, I used the lower 50% or the screen to turn the page and the top to scroll up (back).

5) Easily install the iSilo.exe executable on the SD card and has catalogue-ing features.

Lastly, they've got iSilo versions for the Blackberry, Palm, Android and the iPhone (should you need it).

But don't take my word for it: http://isilo.com/

PS. Been reading ebooks on the PocketPC platform before even Kindle came out. Why spend $200+ on a standalone ebook reader, I could never figure out.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] fortunz:
Opps, forgot to mention conversion. calibre is the ultimate tool in ebook conversion and organization. I don't think isilo is one of its many formats, but for anyone looking to do conversions to growing formats like epub, it's fantastic.

free books

Some free (legal) book sources: baen free library (commercial authors, mostly scifi and fantasy who release the 1st book or so in their series hoping you'll get hook and buy later versions -- I recommend David Weber), manybooks (downloads gutenburg project texts in many formats), smashwords (a lot of indies, not all free), http://www.feedbooks.com/, and you can also find a lot of indie authors freely distributing some of their work at mobileread et al.

It's really a fantastic device for reading. Let me know how you like it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sk8mdw:
Thanks for the links. I use MobiPocket Reader, and I agree, the TP2 (Tilt2) is an excellent device for reading.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] kemp509:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] fortunz:
If you have ebooks in a non-pdb format that you want to read in eReader for WinMo, you convert them to .pdb. After you choose to convert books there's a little dropdown in the upper right-hand corner for output format. If I misunderstood your question, please do post back.

Mobireader and haalireader can both read pdb files. Haalireader was very good but hasn't been updated for some time and really needs a dpad to control it. It was great on my Diamond but Mobireader is better on the TP2
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bedoig:
Thanks!!!

Oh man, this is great! I've been looking for a decent ebook reader forever. I use to use MS Reader back in the QVGA days, but it is really not optimized for large, high-res screens like the TP2. And every other program was made 5+ years ago, has crappy Windows-3.1-esque visuals, and has a UI meant to be used only with a stylus.

Freda is AWESOME!!! Finally something as good Stanza on my iPod (or at least close). Thank you so much for sharing!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jlmwrite:
I have a huge collection of books in .lit format so have been forced to use MS Reader. Alas, it hasn't been updated in years and is showing its age.

My biggest gripe with Reader is that on my Tilt 2 I can't touch the tiny little page-turning arrows with my finger, so have to either use my stylus or open the keyboard and read in landscape mode and use the arrow keys.

Thanks to an earlier poster, I found calibre. I'm going to use that to convert my .lit library to a different format so I can use a different e-reader.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bedoig:
Same here. I'm at work and couldn't wait to try this out, so a little googling also turned up this site: www.2epub.com.

It's an online converter that will do conversions between .lit, epub, etc. I'll probably install Calibre on my home computer, but that site was helpful in a pinch.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Overproof:
Let me try this out and see, thanks in advance!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] fortunz:
I love Freda too. It's written by a guy who was very unsatisfied with current reader options, much like you and I. Personally, I only use it in full screen mode and page change with the arrow keys, but between screen tapping and making the soft buttons page turners, it's very friendly to a variety of users with different UI preferences.

He just emailed me a new version to test, so I expect sometime soon there will be some extra features to enjoy.

Calibre is wonderful, not only for conversions but also for organization of large book collections, which I have.

Be forewarned though, it doesn't typically handle DRM, so if your .lits are DRM'd, you might have to deDRM (there are a lot of projects to handle that, and you can take their output and have calibre put it in your format of choice) them before you convert them.

I have been using uBook http://www.gowerpoint.com/ for years. First on my Ipaq, then Axim x51v and now on my TP2. I has improved greatly to a great touch screen eReader that supports all kinds of standard file formats HTML, PDF, TXT and any of these can be in ZIP files.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] a2002cmacg:
If you use a zoom bar hack in Advanced Configuration, you can flip pages with the zoom bar. If you have AC on your TP2, go to menu > more settings > smarttouch, then add Microsoft Reader to the supported applications list. The hardest part is getting the right wheel sensitivity so that when you scroll you only flip one page. I'd tell you what the best number is but I just flashed my ROM and I forgot the correct setting:confused: But once you figure it out, it gives you a nice lil page turning feel to your ebooks.
