I have a friend that just true to update from cyanogen to an eclair Tom and wont power on any more. Just freezes on g1 screen. I was able to get into bootloader and flashed nbh and was successful but still wont power just hangs at g1. When I try to enter recovery shows g1 and then powers off. Any ideas. I can't get it working but am able to get to stock bootloader and flash nbh but no further. Any help would b appreciated.
A brick is when you can't boot into recovery or fastboot, if you can get to ether of those you can recover.
What am I doing wrong. Flashing nbh not fixing. And some times need to reinsert battery. A few times to turn on at all. And flashing nbh only sticks on g1. Can get to boot at all. Other then recovery. Desperate

Hey all,
I'm working un unbricking a hermes100 and I've been able to get the latese HARDSPL V7 on the device. I can boot the OS and get to desktop and what not but I can not flash a radio or flash ANY rom with a radio included. I've tried flashing from SD and it hangs at 11% everytime when it gets to GSM. Once it hangs I soft reset the device and it goes to bootloader. To get back to OS I have to flash the HardSPL again via SD card. Then I can boot phone again.
I think maybe it's bad blocks in the GSM??? I'm not sure. I've tried all the steps in the wiki regarding "unbricking your hermes" with no luck.
Any help would be great.!

I have had a similar problem with my 8525. Once i upgraded using the hard spl 7 i started having freezing and locking up issues. I then tried to reflash the radio and it got stuck 11% everytime with stock rom as well. My phone was then stuck in boot loader so I used titan_exit boot loader and bam it was back up and running. Phone still has issues doesn't recognize pin.
Hi All,
So, today I tried installing Haykuro's latest SPL and ion rom, when low and behold, my phone was stuck at the G1 logo. Searching this and other sites offered no solution. I wasn't about to lose my hardware hacker cred and get a new phone... so, away I fiddle. I finally got the phone into recovery, after many reboots, and looong power/homekey presses. Once in recovery, I did the following.
put the hardspl update.zip on SD
Reboot, still frozen
wiped
rerun Haykuro's new SPL
DID NOT REBOOT - Wiped data
rerun radio firmware
Again, did not reboot - wiped data.
Pushed the ion firmware
Rebooted, and my g1 once again works.
Props to Haykuro - You are the man!

not to be disrespectful or rude but HOW did you get phone to recovery, many people are stuck on the G1 screen and have tried pressing hoome+power for hours on end and yet nothing, so what did you do differently. if all you did was press home+power then you weren't bricked
to replicate again, I have to do again
I didn't have recovery at first. I spent quite a bit of time (about 4 hours).
At one point, I had the phone plugged into my desktop.. it was on the g1 logo for 20 mins, when usb hardware detection warned about an unknown device.. after that point, recovery worked, but took the 'pull battery, reinsert, press and hold home, then press and release power' sequence to activate.

So either you phone is not actually "bricked", i.e. SPL update was successful, but OS update is not. OR bricked phones are actually working, but taking much longer to finish self-check or something.
Tracy, what radio version do you have?
For what its worth, I suspect that the phones are taking far longer to finish their self checks, just from what I saw.
I 'bricked' it before loading the new OS, and the phone had a functioning OS prior to this.
radio is 2.22.19.26I
Is that the radio you have on it now or the radio you had on it *before*?
Both.
I updated the radio when I rooted it.
okay sounds like you soft bricked your phone.
and from what i understood, you had the phone plugged in all while trying to get into recovery mode and at the g1 screen.
first off, UNPLUG the phone from the charger or usb.
(i had this 'soft brick' issue when i was trying to flash H's SPL but i had the phone plugged in, only after i unplugged it and wiped and re-flash everything, things started to work and no issue with a continuous g1 screen loading)
hopefully you have JFv1.43 recovery image or Cyanogen's 1.1.
hopefully you flashed the newest radio prior to H's SPL.
dvt or pvt?

THANK YOU!!
My phone was a brick after I had flashed hardspl and then danger spl, I wasnt thinking, over it and thought it was done for good..But I found your post and this worked! My G1 is back to life now
I flashed an older version of cm, 4.0.4 to make sure everything would go as smoothly as possible but do you think I could flash one of my nandroid backups that has cyan's 4.2.7.1 firmware on it? I dont want to risk getting another brick but I'm not sure if restoring a nan backup will screw everything up again?
again, thanks for your help
this thread reminds me of bigfoot/nessie/ufo sightings videos I don't think either of you actually "bricked" your phones...seriously, they would be worth their weight in plastic if they were. Either way, glad to hear you have them running properly
I had a similar problem when flashing the spl. I fixed it with fastboot:
Code:
#fastboot erase recovery
#fastboot flash recovery [I]recovery_file.img[/I]
I have been trying to go back to a stock rom so I can sell my mogul.
I'm trying to follow the directions here.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanStockHome
I got to relocking part and to the point where it tells you to disconnect and reconnect the usb.
I did this but couldn't get the phone to activesync again. I tried going through the rest of steps but ended up getting stuck at the bootloaded screen.
I'm on XP trying to go back to Sprint's 3.35.651.2 (Radio 3.35.04).
I'm currently on one of No2chem's rom.
I have no idea where to go from this point. Any help would be great. Thanks
PLease supply you current radio, rom, and bootloader version
Thanks for your help.
However, I have no idea how to get that information for you.
I'm guessing there's a exit bootloader I need to run???
When the phone first turns on does it go straight to bootloader? What version does the bootloader say?
Yes straight to bootloader.

at the white part it says Serial then USB when I plug the usb in.
I think you need the 2.xx boot loader for the GPS radio. Try this Relocker:
http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nueSPLnueSPL-ReLocker-for-the-HTC-Titan.aspx
Sorry, I'm pretty noob. I need specific steps. lol
Right now, I'm still stuck in the bootloader screen.
What do I do to get out?
Where do I get the 2.xxx bootloader and how do I run it? I'm totally lost now.
Ok, so your stuck in boot loader with a pre-gps boot loader. Download this rom/radio and flash:
ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Titan/Users/ImCoKeMaN/roms/Sprint_2.16_OS.nbh
That will bring you back to stock pre-gps rom. Then you should be able to go straight into flashing the official upgrades from Sprint, if you wanted to.
Thanks. I'll try it now.
I'll ya know it it works.
I tried flashing to that rom/gps you gave me. Here are the steps I took:
-Placed file in to RUU folder
-Ran RUU
-Went through the steps and clicked "Update"
-It says it will update to: "Image Verision: Sprint_2.16OS.O
At the updating screen with the % bar it stays at 0. After 1-2 mins it gives me the "ERROR [262]:Update error" then ask for me to go through the steps to recover. I go through the recovery steps and try to flash again and get the same problem.
Error 262 means it is having problems connecting, not sure why. Instead of trying to relock, lets try unlock for now and then go back to relock.
Here is a GPS ROM unlocker. Give this a try and should bring you back to where you started. DO NOT use the relocker you used.
I'll try that out.
After I get back to where I started.. I read somewhere i can just download the exe. file from htc and upgrade without relocking? is that true?
I have flashed the stock Sprint rom with the phone unlocked. The only reason I can see to relock is for warranty reasons. I have shipped phones back to verizon with custom roms, nothing was ever said
You should try to flash this rom. ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Titan/Users/ImCoKeMaN/roms/Sprint_2.17_OS_RUU_signed.rar
You can try putting in ruu but I suggest you flash by sd card. Name .nbh to TITAIMG.nbh. then place on 2gb or smaller sd card and turn on phone. Once bootloader reads card it should say loading start the process.

I made an assumtion here, just wanted to check, you are in bootloader when you try to run ruu, right?
If you still cant't drew is right, but the rom (non-gps) on sd card and it will load.
Yes, I'm in bootloader (the tri-colored screen). I'm still stuck in it.
I tried flashing through SD card as well. Here's what I did just incase.
-Used 1GB card
-Formated FAT32
-Renamed the file here ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Titan/Users/Im...RUU_signed.rar to TITAIMG.nbh.
-Moved the file to the card and is the ONLY thing on the card
-Inserted in the phone
NOTHING HAPPENS
The only time I can get it out the bootloader screen is when I'm flashing with the RUU. It goes to the white screen with the % bar but then gets frozen there.
I tried using that Relocker but it wouldn't run.
Please provide your bootloader, rom, and radio version

I don't know what my rom and radio is...
All I know is that I was on one of no2chem's roms. And tried using that "back to stock" wiki guide.
Well I assume you have a gps rom with a nongps bootloader. You need a bootloader version of 2.xx. Please list your carrier. Also radio and rom versions are listed on bottom right of screen when you turn it on.
It goes straight to bootloader when i turn it on so I can't tell whar rom it is.
I was using sprint but I have cancelled my service.
I have a mytouch 1.2 and was trying to use rom manager to make flashing roms easier. well i flashed the clockwork recovery (htc magic) and now im stuck on my green mytouch screen. and of course to create a frustrating situation I cannot find any info regarding rom manager that is of help to me. i really need help as i cannot guarantee i can afford a new phone right now
so i am thinking there is hope. anyone with experience in this?
Reflash recovery via fastboot (ra recovery 1.6.2)
Sent from my HTC Magic using XDA App
This happened to me. It happens when you run out of ram during the flsahing process. I was never able to get clockwork recovery on my phone using rom manager. I was able to to repeatedly flash the Amon Ra recovery by repeatedly flashing it through rom manager to get it back up. Good Luck

You just need to flash the proper recovery image (Ion/MyTouch).
If it doesn't boot take the battery out, hold MENU, put the battery back in and power the device back on while still holding menu.
The device should boot.
Then once it boots try flashing the recovery again. Sometimes the first flash doesn't take. It seems to remove the old recovery but fails to flash the new one. Which is why the phone seems to get stuck at the splash screen.
If all else fails then use the Goldcard to get back to your eng spl, flash your recovery (it should be stored in the clockwork directory of your sdcard) then flash the stock spl back.
Keep in mind though that this probably won't work if you have not flashed the clockwork recovery before because you won't be able to restore your nandroid backup.
I have a problem with my G1. I've rooted it (with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480 ), and afterwards I had to update SPL (downloaded dangerous SPL from http://code.google.com/p/sapphire-port-dream/downloads/detail?name=spl-signed.zip&can=2&q= ). I've forgotten to update RADIO first, and I am stuck with boot screen.
I cannot use adb, camera+power, recovery (home+power), home+back+power doesn't work either. On boot screen I try to reboot it via send+menu+power, but it doesn't work - the only method is to take out the battery.
Is there any option that I can try to fix it?
I have 1 year more warranty for this phone, so I don't want to lose it.
//I have second G1 working, if that can somehow help in fixing it.
I know it's my fault. But is there anyway I can repair it?
same boat rite now, tried to flash new radio onto my rogers dream last night in order to flash ginger yoshi. after super wiping i then went on to flash the radio and it is now currently stuck at the rogers boot screen not allowing me to enter fastboot or recovery
You cant get into the fastboot? or holding the camera and power?
