I purchased a used G1 off of ebay and when i got it it worked fine. I reset it in order to load my own profile as the previous owner still had his info on the phone.
The phone is running on the cyanogen mod v1.4 +jf.
I have rebooted the phone but now when i try to reboot the phone just keeps loading, with the "hero" logo comming up and the tone emmitting from the phone. it just keeps doing this over and over until i remove the battery.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I also have this same problem of keep rebooting endless..after I choose Reboot phone, hope someone can help..
Grab the recovery image from my sig, install it, wipe the phone and ext parition.
thanks evilkorn, you must forgive me but i am new to the G1 so i am not sure exactly fhow to do that. any additional help would be appreciated

Thanks for the help, I did what you said, wipe, reflash everything back, run ok, do all the setting everything fine, but soon as I restart it, there we go again, went from logo to blank screen and keep trying to boot endless..
i tried it as well. no luck here
You said wipe, were you sure you wiped the ext partition. If you did, repartition the sd card after you backup. Amon_RA makes a damn good recovery so it's easy to partition the card.

I need help! Ok so here's the deal: I flashed the new RA-dream v1.3.2 recovery this morning and coming from MLIGN 3.0 Hero I wiped EVERYTHING the recovery allowed me to: data + cache, Dalvik-cache, battery stats? and rotate settings along with repartitioning my sd card. After that I wanted to go back to Cyanogen's 4.2.3.1 so I wiped but it now won't go past the Tmobile G1 Screen! I've tried everything, including flashing other Rom's wiping partitioning again, letting it stay at the screen for and hour! all in all I can't get past it, but I can get to recovery.. did I do something wrong? any help would be great cause till then, I'm phoneless
it is possible you could have had a corrupted download, or a corrupted flash, try it again

Oh man, thank god.. I'm not 100 percent if this was the reason, but I used my sd card adapter to copy over the update rather than the usb through recovery and it worked. That had to have been what it was?? Thanks for the help though
Hello,
Last night I tried to install another radio fw on my Hero because of bad reception since the last one I installed.
I placed the new radio on my SD, rebooted and forgot to push the right buttons to access the "Android system recovery" (RA?) part.
Because it takes ages to wait for the phone to boot I pulled the battery and tried it again witch failed again, pulled the battery again etc.
When I finally managed to acces the "Android system recovery" part I flashed the new GSM radio to my GSM Hero. All the steps in described in the manual I used worked and all looked well.
After rebooting the phone started till the point of the Villainrom logo. I kept the phone on for hours till the battery was fully drained but it stays the same.
I can still acces the "Android system recovery", fast boot etc,
Tried the following:
-Wipe
-Restore backup
I'm getting pretty desperate!!
I's there anyone who has recovered his Hero from such a situation?
Please help..
If you can get to the recovery screen then you're not bricked. just reflash your rom and gapps add on and you should be fine or do a nandroid restore.
Hi pwraggcan,
I already restored a Nadroid backup.. Did not do the trick....
Also I tried to reflash the radio fw... Nothing helps. It just hangs at the unfolding Villainrom Logo which every few minutes restarts unfolding (I don't know how to call it otherwise, I do not mean that the phone restarts).
You're not bricked, so you're OK.
Re-flash the ROM you had installed after wiping your /data
Failing that, remove the SD card as that sometimes helps get the phone to boot.
If all else fails set up adb and get us a logcat.
Download the ROM again, full wipe & try again... Just to make sure the download didn't go bad?

Clear out your SD on your computer (back it up first), format it, and you should be good to go
It's usually the SD when this happens
Hey,
I was trying to load some gapps on my sprint htc hero (running AOSP rom) and It wouldn't work so i followed some instructions online and somehow my phone is bricked... I can go to clockwork but when i try to install a zip it goes all the way to installing package then it just goes back to the home screen of the recovery. There's no ROM running at all anymore because i tried formatting everything to start over but the same thing happened. Could someone plz help!!!

Ok...Your phone is not bricked because it is turning on. There are very few things that you can do to actually brick this phone. However before anyone can be of much assistance you are going to have to provide some more detailed information about your problem. I would also suggest that you check this thread that Il Duce posted in the Q&A section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063843
Lastly I'll assume that your bootloader is S-On which means if you do not have adb set up on your computer yet you should do so, because it sounds as if you MAY need it at some point.
have you tried flashing a rom? Iv had the same problem and figured that wiping everything, then flashing a new rom fixed it
Boom... Headshot! from my L96A1
Try reflashing your current recovery threw adb. Might help.

i agree with laie1472. reflash your recovery. it will give you a clean start. let us know how it goes.
ok so in more detail.... I turn on my phone and it just loads the HTC screen and goes on forever because there's no rom to load. So i can boot it into clockwork recovery, and when i get there i wipe data/factory reset and also wipe cache partition, then i try to install zip from sdcard. I go to choose my zip and click yes and as the script is running across the screen it goes like this: Finding update package.... Opening update package... Installing update package... then it just goes back to the clockwork recovery screen (with the options like reboot system, apply sdcard:update.zip, etc.) sorry i don't know that much about this but i can learn fast.
Thanks!
Ok. So have you tried to reflash your recovery??? Try it threw adb. If you don't have adb setup check out the link hockeyfamily posted for duces thread. Once there look for my thread on how to install adb. It takes like 15 to 20 min tops. If you need help with the guide just post here or send me a pm. Hopefully this helps

I tried using aosp rom and CM7. I can't load the other recovery because in your instructions it says I need easytether. I can't load a rom so i can't download that from the market.
You need "adb" which is installed on your pc, not on your phone.

cm tried flashing another but got stuck on this screen tried the factory reset but gives me an error and it wont boot into sdcard
i do get the touch something screen
I've got stuck in this "Android" screen when I tried to update my existing CM7. This is what I've done.
1. Boot to recovery.
2. Wipe cache
3. Install the update from SD and choose the CM7 file and google apps
4. Wipe data/factory
5. Format or insert a new sd before re-booting.
I encounter the same error on the first reboot. Booting up the second time solved it. It does hang at the CM logo for bout 5 min on the second boot.

You shouldn't be getting a touch anything screen depending on what CM7 file you are using. Go here and start the process all over. Make sure you use the latest version of CWR (3.2.0.1): http://mrm3.net/nook-color-how-to-install-cyanogenmod-nightlies/

Hello,
I was running one of the CM9 nightlies and decided to try one of eyeballer's with OpenGL, and was able to make the switch without any problems, but after a while wanted to go to a non-openGL build and after flashing it my Nook won't boot past the loading screen.
I have a 1GB card with CMW which I'm able to boot to, I've tried wiping data, format boot and format system and reinstalling one of the builds that had previously worked, but still get stuck on Cyanoboot's loading screen. Even tried going back down to CM7 to see if that helped, but stuck on that loading screen as well.
What am I missing here? I've formatted boot, system, cache, data, everything, but the issue persists.
Any suggestions as to how I can make my Nook come back to live.

Well, for one thing, never format boot.
After trying cm7, you still get cyanoboot? It should have changed to the green cyanogenmod logo. If not then your flashes are not working.

After flashing CM7 I get the green boot screen, but my Nook also gets stuck on that loading screen.
When flashing CM9 I can press the ''N'' button and scroll the available boot methods, but when I choose one I get stuck on loading again.
So on both CMs I'm getting stucked on ''loading'', which started to happen on Monday after going from one of the openGL builds to the latest non-openGL build.

Ok, that means that CWM is putting the boot files on the boot partition since they change CM7 vs CM9.
Which version is your CWM on the SD?
You can't boot to anything, not even emmc recovery? Or you just can't boot to 'normal'? Do you even have emmc recovery installed? If you don't, get the first file on this post and flash it with your CWM card. You may be in a recovery bootloop, without a recovery.

Thank you leapinlar, seems like it was me having an old CWM on my boot card that wasn't helping me, installed the recovery zip and manage to boot into that from cyanoboot's loading screen and reflashed and managed to boot my Nook.
I'm still intrigue as to how this happened, do you think that when switching between openGL and non-openGL the boot partition got corrupted or something? I've been flashing many roms for almost a year and had never had this issue happen to me before.
Thanks a million for taking time to help me, you're a life saver.

It's possible your recovery somehow got corrupted during the flash. If that happens, it does not clear the recovery boot flag and it keeps trying to boot to recovery and it can't because it is corrupted. And it just bootloops forever.
Also, make sure your CWM bootable card is a recent version. If you have a newer nook and an old CWM and you try to clear data, it fails and you have a mess.
Hi, I am totally new at this but I been having a nook color for over a year now and been running CM7 on it for the longest time. Tonight I wanted to put CM9 on and for whatever I did now I just can't seem to get pass the Cyanoboot screen. Doesnt matter what I do it just gives me a blank screen and stays there. What do I gotta do to fix it or get rid of this cyanoboot and back to CWM so i can re flash everything. Any help would be great. Thanks

Try flashing latest CM7 then CM9 over the top. Might want to format Data and wipe caches in between.

Try using my bootable CWM card in my tips thread in my signature. It works fine under ordinary circumstances, but I have been wanting someone to try it to see if it gets you out of that bootloop.
Edit: Just a question out of curiosity. When you finished flashing that new ROM with your CWM, were you able to reboot from CWM normally using the menu choice? Or was there some lockup or something where you had to reboot from CWM by hard powering off?

Just follow the directions in the thread to make the card. Then put it in the nook and try booting. If it boots to CWM, just use it to flash like DizzyDen said. And when you exit, use the menu to choose re-boot.
PS, the hard powering off caused the problem. CWM was not able to clear the recovery flag and you ended up in a recovery bootloop. Let me know if my card boots.

Thank YOU for testing my card and proving that gets you out of the recovery bootloop you were in.
You need to take one more step. You need to put a new CWM back on your internal memory so it is there ready for the next time you want to install a ROM. If you go back to my tips thread, there is a link to a new flashable CWM zip (version 5.5.0.4) that can be put on your internal memory. The link is in item B1. Just download that zip file, then boot one more time to my bootable CWM card and install that zip. You should not need my card anymore after that unless you get in a bootloop again.
I've had something similar going on. I believe my nook has been using the EMMC to boot. It was on CM7. I grabbed the latest open GL CM9 because I plan on giving this to my parents. I wanted them to be able to use the TWC TV/DVR app which only works on ICS. I am stuck in a loop where it keeps going to recovery and neither flashing cm9 again nor recovering to an old back up is working. Is the recovery SD card the suggested method for fixing this? I'm not stuck in a loop but I am stuck and having to go into recovery every boot.
For awhile, the N menu gave me both EMMC and SD card boot options. Now it only has EMMC ones.

You could try the new CWM SD. Just make sure when you finish using CWM to exit from that by using the 'reboot' choice in the menu. Do not just hard power off.

So slap the image on a clean SD card and boot up from it. After it's done and I hit reboot, what would I do to get back to CM7 or CM9? I haven't had to do something like this yet. Any time I've had issues, I've been lucky enough to go back to a saved clockwork backup and restore things back to how they should be

First thing I would try is just to exit the new CWM via the menu to see if it gets you out of the bootloop. Retry booting without the SD in. If it will still only boot to recovery, I would again boot to my CWM and flash the new recovery to emmc. Next I would try to restore your old nandroid backup with the new CWM. If none of that works, flash a new CM to emmc with the new CWM.
