First off im sorry im adding another rooting post to these boards.
So i decided to root my 32B magic today copyed the recovery.img over and update file from the rooting wiki, loaded recovery mode then updated, but now my phone when turned on loads to the vodafone screen and freezes id left it for afew hrs but still no luck.
Here is what i know so far:
I am able to get to fastboot and fastboot usb
I cant however get to recovery mode by pressing menu+power
I can get to the recovery mode using the sdk\tools
my problem is that im sure the fix is relativly simple i.e. load some files onto sd and start again, but the problem is that i have no other way to load the files onto the sd card than through the phone and my knowledge of adb isnt that great although has improved greatly today lol.
Im not sure how correct i am on this, but would it be a possible fix to load say a rom update.zip onto the sd card and load that through recovery mode to bring it up? If that would fix it could i possible get help on the adb code needed to pass the file from computer to the phone through fastboot usb or recovery.
Thank you very much for your help
Ok i think i have figured how to push files to my sd card however whenever i try it come up saying Failed ( remote:signature verify fail)
ok well i managed to move Cyanogen's newest rom over and update to that but its still hanging up at the vodafone screen upon booting, im lost for ideas.
Please any help how ever small would be amazing right now.
please help is desperatly needed.
i am having the same issue.... and it seems NO ONE has a bloody answer to why it is failing
I successfully update to 32A and root. Then i tried to update to MT3G OTA rom and now i'm stuck at Vodafone screen. Need help or ideas and how to recover..
i had the same problem, what i did was that i found a sd card adapter and hooked it up to my computer, its pretty quick and less hassle

take out your battery and after a few seconds put it back in, before it powers up go into fastboot(back+power) and that should do it
I still have a pretty red splash screen and stucked.

I have same problem, but your solution didn't work for me.
I did as follows.
#1. typed following command in terminal.(well, I'm using Mac)
Code:
fastboot-mac flash recovery recovery-RAv1.2.0G.img
#2. pulled battery off from phone.
#3. pluged USB cable to phone and also Mac.
#4. pressed (ENTER) in the terminal, then fastboot-mac said '< waiting for device >'.
#5. put the battery in while pressing (back)+(power)
#6. then, pretty red vodafone splash screen come up.
#7. In the terminal, it still said '< waiting for device >'. Nothing was changed.
#8. On the phone, pretty red splash screen was still there. Nothing was changed.
Those are all I have done many times for last 2 days.
But, it didn't work.
Please let me know if there is something I missed.
I tried and stuck in the exactly same problem as [robotician]. I have MT3G.

THe red vodafone should not come up. You have to hold the back key longer perhaps, because it's supposed to go into the fastboot screen with all sorts of text and three androids on skateboards at the bottom.
@Niaski
was your rom made for the 32B or the 32A?
They are very diferent phones and mixing the roms causes the issue you are seeing.
Hello, I am having some issues and I've tried all of the fixes on several different forums including this one.
I wanted to root my phone so I followed Amon's guide and successfully went from the Tmobile released 1.6 to the rooted 1.5 in the guide. I then wanted to update to the rooted 1.6 but was having issues with trying to install the update. While in the safe mood I asked it to extract update.zip about 3 times before it finally opened it and it extracted everything really quickly!
I then tried to reboot the phone but it stayed at the green MyTouch 3G splash screen without going anywhere. I've tried all the tricks of taking out my battery, unplugging the USB, any form of combination I could.
I'm told my phone isn't bricked, only stuck but my computer isn't picking up the phone either. It doesn't say it can't read the USB device and fastboot still says waiting for devices.
Can some one please help me with my problem?
Thank you,

What do you mean by safe mode? Which donut ROM are you trying to flash? Which recovery image do you have? How long was it stuck on the splash screen. You need to give more details for us to be able to help out. What radio and spl do you have?
I meant safe mode by where you select the option to extract update.zip.
I was trying to flash Amon's 1.6 32A Rom. Even though my phone states 32B I followed his instructions on how to Root the Mytouch and he was using 32A stuff so I figured if it worked OK, I was now running on 32A instead of 32B.
I was using RAv1.2.0H.img from his original guide. I dont know what radio and spl I have. There wasn't really a guide on updating ROMs so I just tried the same basic steps.
I hope this is more helpful, I am doing my best to learn everything, I am still fairly new to modding a phone. (my last phone was a Blackberry 8100).

I'm not sure what you mean by extract update.zip. I think you are talking about fastboot there. Have you tried to flash the rom in the recovery image? you know, by pressing power and home to get to the recovery, then flashing it through there. go into fastboot by pressing power and back and it will tell you what radio and spl you have. once you have that, write that so we can further get a grasp as to your problem. if in fact you still have the 32A configuration, you might want to flash over the 32B radio and and try to flash a 32B rom.
That is my problem, I can't get past the "MyTouch 3G" green screen. I've tried the Home button, Back button, Vol Down button and holding them for several minutes with no result, it stays at the very first screen when it turns on.
I've tried flashbooting from adb but it says "waiting for devices" and my computer isn't picking up any kind of device.
I'm having the exact same problem except im stuck on the vodafone screen. I also tried flashboot form adb but "waiting for devices" is shown and pc wont detect the device.
Did this before.
If you can get into recovery mode, Hold Home button while powering on, you can restore a nandroid backup, if you took one, or put the sappimg.nbh file or the correct items to flash whatever rom.
I had a stock 1.5 Mytouch. I wanted to root and get the 1.6 version of cyanogen, forgot to flash the HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base as part of the process and had got stuck in the neverending mytouch logo.
If you can get into recovery:
wipe, then put the update.zip files directly on the card.(use a SD adapter, ...)
Choose apply any update from SD
Choose the base files, then the rom if its a newer version
Once those two updates run, reboot the phone.
My never ending logo disappeared, and the phone booted. Newb mistake on my part.
Wait at least a minute or two once this is done.
since the phone is stuck on the original logo and isnt responding to buttons when loading up... do we manually remove and reinsert the battery while holding the home button?
I have tried getting into recovery mode, but it doesn't do anything past the splash screen. Holding the home button while trying to power on the device won't do much.
hey difinitus keep me updated if u somehow get it to work
Even when you take the battery out for a significant time it turns on immediately to the logo screen. Whats the longest you have left the phone sitting at the logo screen.
A small thought, since it was trying to load a rom you had on your memory card, try taking the battery out, and removing the memory card, and then turn it on and wait a bit and see if you get a different result. Its a thought.
If that doesnt work put the memory card back in and turn it on and once its on remove the memory card.
Perhaps the rom on your memory card is corrupt and it is unable to continue to load it, you could even try putting the rom on again using your memory card reader and your computer, thus erasing the existing one.
try plug usb in to phone
take battery out
prees and hold home button
re-insert battery while still holding button
let go after about 3-5 sec
have you tried getting into fastboot by holding back and powering on the phone once you took out the battery? cuz fastboot doesn't initialize after the splash screen, it just pops up as soon as you hit back and power
@Tech no boy; I have tried using several different update.zip and a .nbh and also tried reformatting.
@sitimber; have tried that before, the splash screen still pops up. It just vibrates once and goes to the logo, with any combination of buttons and steps.
@tazz9690; Yes, no matter what I do it still goes to the splash screen. I've been saying that for several posts now.
you might have a bricked phone then. call up t-mobile and get it returned under warranty. if you are 100% positive that you will not be able to get past your splash screen, then the return center will not be able to prove that you have modded your phone, and they will send you another phone.

Long story short I've got a Rogers Dream, 32B, 2005 SPL that up until recently I had only rooted. When I'd press power and home it reported Cyanogen JF 1.2 I believe.
I was trying to update my ROM, long story short I renamed the signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip to update.zip, (because I didn't have any option to select which file I wanted to use to update) loaded it, then realized I was unable to access the SDcard in any way (card reader, etc) to replace that file with the latest cyanogen rom.
So now my phone is stuck at the Rogers boot logo, and I can't get into fastboot or the loader screen.
How effed am I? As effed as I suspect? Anyway to recover this thing, or did I just dumbass myself into a $350 paperweight?
unfortunately I think I am running into a problem just like yours.. I'm running AmonRA 1.5.0 recovery. For a few days it was working fine. I basically did a wipe on the phone and restarted the phone hoping to get the command list to come back up but now I don't get anything but a HTC recovery logo on my phone. I've been pressing a combination of all kinds of buttons to see if there is a way to bypass the recovery console but I'm getting nothing but that HTC logo (which should be something like the Android mascot for some of you), yet I am also not getting to see the T-Mobile G1 boot screen (US Phone) anymore, I assume you don't see your carrier on your screen neither..
Anyways, if anyone can give us any advice, your support will be greatly valuable.
Pull the battery, once the device is off replace the battery. Hold down the camera button and press the power button. If you get to a rainbow colored screen, or a white screen with Androids on skateboards you are not bricked. If you are unable to get to one of these screens I am afraid you have a paperweight, or at least until someone figures out the JTAG pins to manually re-write the startup code back to the phone.
If you can get to one of those screens, you are in good hands! If you have a T-Mobile G1 then simply download this and extract the file within (DREAIMG.nbh) to the ROOT directory of a freshly formatted (FAT format) SD card.
Just reboot the phone with the camera button pressed and follow the directions.
This will get you back to Android 1.0, please follow guides from that point forward.
I have a (formerly) rooted G1 that I've attempted to revert to stock RC29 by following the "Full Downgrade Guide" at the CyanogenMod wiki.
My device had HBOOT-1.33.2005, so I used the suggested fastboot command to roll it back to HBOOT-1.33.2003 from the g1boot.zip file linked on that page. This seemed to go well, after which I rebooted into the fastboot (which was still the skateboarding androids screen) again and saw the new (old) HBOOT in the information.
Powered off the phone, inserted the SD card loaded with the DREAIMG.nbh linked in the page, and reflashed the phone. Rebooted with Send+Menu+End, and the phone kept rebooting at the T-Mobile G1 logo screen.
So, I attempted the flash again from the bootloader menu, which is now the "rainbow" style, and shows HBOOT-0.95.(something). It immediately picked up the DREAIMG.nbh file on the SD card and asked if I wanted to flash, chose yes. Same result again: a boot loop at the G1 logo.
I redownloaded the DREAIMG.nbh file without the download accelerator I'd used before, placed it on the SD card, and booted into the bootloader again, flashed, and still the same looping.
So, I attempted to access the "recovery mode" by pressing and holding menu while powering on. I got the G1 logo, then a black screen... pressing Alt-L showed "Android system recovery utility", and nothing else.
Now, the phone will do nothing BUT Android system recovery utility, regardless of what buttons I press or do not press, and I have to remove the battery to turn the damn thing off. Pressing Alt-S, Alt-W, Alt-X, or anything else does nothing.
Where should I look to try to figure out how to recover this thing?
Is a simcard in the phone? Can you get into recovery and wipe incase the partitions are confused?
(Edit, the hint was the sim card)
There's no SIM in the phone at the moment. I can't do anything at the system recovery, except turn the log on or off with Alt-L (which I guess means it's not frozen).
It isn't recognized by ADB anymore, since it has some bastardized version of the stock T-Mobile image that has USB turned off (right? I'm new at this. ).
A bit more info:
I can get into "blue light" mode, and the light is amber/green when plugged into a charger. Sometimes, when I plug the charger in the phone will turn on immediately; but not always.
When I start the phone up and it boots into the broken recovery console, Windows does see an "HTC Dream" device, but ADB doesn't see it.

Should I, or should I not have the SIM in? For what its worth, the phone behaves exactly the same either way.
Thanks for the help.
I just had this exact experience; have you made any progress, goatlordbob?
same happened to me.
cant fastboot, loop at G1 screen, and all i can see in recovery is: Android system recovery utility
some1 find some solution?
why doesnt there seem to b any help for this matter, smh
bull.. s**t
I'm in the exact same boat now. I followed those directions *to the letter* and it put my G1 in this state. Thanks to the wiki maintainer for such wonderful attention to detail. /s
Is there NO way to recover from this?

How? None of the key commands work. Like the OP I can hit Alt+L and it shows ""Android system recovery utility" but that's as far as it goes.
Anyone bothered booting using home + power?

Yes - T-Mobile G1 logo, then blank screen forever.
Ok I'm kinda a newbie...I've searched the forums and can't find my solution.
So I installed CM 7 on my nexus one from Rom manager. Everything is ok...so I decide to put google add ons ( froyo). This is what happens now... I get the Cyan logo animation , then the green google sign up logo then the phone reloops to the cyan logo and then the google sign in logo...I cant access nothing on my phone.
I boot into recovery ( power +trackball) , go to recovery option click on power and then I see the X (phone vibrates ) then I get a black screen...and nothing happens.
I did do 2 working rom recoveries from clockwork...I just cannot access them to recover my old working images....Can someone help or did I brick a new phone...
Thanks
just like basketball.......... brick
Maybe try to push a new recovery through ADB?
ok how to do that ADB?
What is ADB ...can someone please help
Thanks
You shouldn't be flashing pre-beta firmwares if you don't know how to use adb.
Use Google or the forum search to find out all about adb.
Also, if the phone is booting as far as the Cyanogen logo, then it's not even remotely "bricked", it does sound like you've managed to stuff up the recovery though, probably ROM Manager's fault, it has a habit of breaking things horribly.
Boot into fastboot and flash the latest Amon Ra recovery, then boot into recovery, do a full data wipe and flash a standard firmware back on.
Yep it's dead, send it to me because I'm building a house.
OK so I fastboot with sdk ...
Because the recovery option just send me to the dreaded X and then nothing
Not bricked. The best people to help you through it the fastest are on the Cyanogen Mod IRC Chat. Make a screenname and one of our amazing Devs will help you though the crisis. Been there, and you'll love them for it.
When I was a newbie in xda, I made sure to research thoroughly before blindly doing weird kinky stuff to my phone.
The xda wiki was one place that helped me in my dark noobish times.
Do yourself a favor and read up the wiki, you might find your answer there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:Nexus_One.png
get yourself the android SDK, run a cmd window, while your phone is bootlooping;
type adb remount
you should get a message "remount successful"
now type; adb shell rm /system/app/NetworkLocation.apk
and also; adb shell rm /system/app/OneTimeInitializer.apk
your phone should now boot normally
thanks
I.ll try it when i come back from work
But it isn't bootlooping persay...I get the cyan guy and the cm7 logo screen (the arrow turns for awhile...then I get the Green Android guy and it says click to start...I can't even click ...the blue cyan screen starts ...then the green guy ...this loops for ever.
In bootloader mode ( power+trackball) when I try to recover...the the google X logo appears the phone shakes then black screen....nothing happens.
I think that either clockwork recovery is broken (because I saved 3 back-ups from rom manager)...or it works but I cant see screen (SLCD)...Anyway, is there a way to just flash en existing image on my sd card.....
Also my phone was soft rooted (androot) I don't have the big unlocked under the x...will this prevent me from using fast boot to flash???
Thanks guys I know I'm a newbie...Ive read alot...I'm sorry if I offend some of you guys...Thanks for the help....
Sounds like your bootloader is still locked... in that case, fastboot will not work for your phone.
Still read the section on flashing recovery in the xda wiki. There's a section on how to flash a recovery without fastboot but adb.
adB
Ok isn't ADB a driver for usb ...
Anyone know a step by step for morons ( like me)
That have a locked phone, a corrupted bootloader ( or recovery not working) and modified roms on the sd card...
Can i just erase the sd ( put stock image on it)
I will try this at 2pm I must go to work....thanks for the help
Yes.
Download: http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Pas...le_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_MFG_Shipment_ROM.zip
Unzip it, and rename the extracted file passimg.zip
Place it on the root of your SD card and power the phone on holding Vol-
It will find the file and ask if you want to install, pick yes.
Ok
Ok heres what I did so far:
I used an empty sd card ( formated it and put followed what you said: put renamed image oanto sd card)
I power with the volume, here is what happens:
I click on bootloader
I get : recovery option , click the X comes back on shaked and then I get a black screen
Ive waited for 10 minutes nothing
Also: when I click on boot loader, I see ( in green) it saying wrong image, wrong something else.....
Can someone telle what I did wrong
Thanks
Did you extract the zip from within the zip, as instructed?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
ok heres something else I tried:
Went to the original sd card with everything on it) went to the clockwork folder) went to an old back up folder ( copy pasted everything onto the empty sd card) put the sd card into the phone , press power + volume - , get the green guys with skateboards , click onto boot loader ( see the same errors that roll down quickly, funny why they fly down so fast...but I think it says bad image or wrong image or time ) . Anyway, still same thing when I press recover ( with power button) the X shows up , the phones vibrates and then the black screen.
I i do a normal power on ....still get the CM7 boot guy , the arrow that turns around him a few times , then the green guy that ask you to click on him, then you can't even click on him...the CM7 boot guy starts all over (this loops til infinity)
Just so you guys know, the phone was rooted with androot...so I don't know it its still rooted since the software dowsn't work....
Any ideas guys...thanks...
I will try the adb method late tonight...but Im not sure its works if the phone is soft rooted...
Thanks
Did you really rename the passimg.zip correctly? The bootloader should automatically detect the file and prompt you if u want to update. If it did not detect it, it could be the wrong file u renamed.
Remember that once you boot into bootloader using the vol down button, you have to wait for it to detect the passimg.zip before doing anything else.
And fastboot will not work on your phone. You need the roundabout method to flash recovery using cmd.
Ok heres what I did:
1-I download the link Rusty! supplied
2-I extract using winrar to the empty sd card ( a 2 gig card that has been formated using windows format tool to fat 32)..not the one that came with the phone)
3-Once the file in on the sd card, I rename is ( copy paste) exactly passimg.zip
4-I ask windows to eject
5-I insert the card
6-I press the power and volume down
7-I wait , so that fastboot is read.
8-I select fastboot wait a few seconds , select Fastboot ( is green letters) with the power button, it changes to bootloader( green letters), I see green text roll down( says ' i try to see, wrong....something)
9- nothing happens
10-I click recovery, the phone vibrates, get the X, phone goes black
****I tried reading that roll down message : wrong image is there with some other stuff
These are the steps...nothing
Thanks for the help
