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

See that, it says recovery image and you download that and follow the instructions.

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.
Hi,
I've got a MyTouch3G running the latest Cyanogenmod. I'm selling the device, and was wondering if anyone has suggestions on how to prepare/wipe it for the next user.
Will a factory reset wipe personal data and leave the ROM? The buyer wants the rooted ROM, so I don't want to touch that... only wipe all of my personal data. I also need to switch out my SD card somehow- but not sure if I need to copy anything over so that Apps2SD will still work on the new SD card.
Help!

Just do factory reset. Why u wana swap card?
The reason why I want to swap cards is because the current card is an 8gb, which I would like to keep. I have a 2gb that i would like to give away instead. If I just replace the card, do a factory reset, then remove my sim, i'm afraid when the buyer boots up, the home screen will be filled with apps that are missing...
If i were you, i would just wipe the phone clean then insert 2gb sd, format it with ext if buyer wants a2sd then just reflash cyanogen. he will have a cleaninstall, unless he wants the apps, then youll have to get the ext on the other sd card as well. instructions are on the CM wiki i believe. im typing from phone so youll have to find that yoyrself lol. i havent tried this method, but maybe you can create a nandbackup and ext backup in recovery and restore it on your other sd card? cant hurt to try
So here's a quick update on what's happening.
I tried the Factory Settings option under Settings -> SD Card, but all it did was keep rebooting the phone. So next, I booted into recovery mode, and used the Wipe/Factory Settings option in the Cyanogen Recovery image.... Phone would show splash, show the Enoch loading screen, then just blank for minutes and minutes. Desperate, I pulled Cyanogen 4.2.15.1 off the web, stuck it into an SD card and reflashed it. I'm hoping it'll at least boot into the OS now...
anthony.
After your last step, i believe it should. when you wope via rexovery, you need to flash a rom again, and i dont know much about this but i nwver bother wiping from settings, recovery is nicer!
Ok, so the flash finished, it showed the standard Android boot screen instead of the Enoch (which is normal after a flash) but it's on a black screen again.... 5 minutes so far. =(
Did i really screw something up by doing the Wipe in the recovery image? i remember it said, formatting DATA and CACHE. Not sure if it meant on the SD, or the Phone itself. Either way, it's still dead. Ugh.
calling all android gurus. help!!
Id check for you but im on my phone lol. youre 32b right ? im not sure if 32b have to do this but you may have to flash drc83 as well before cyanogen. yeah im pretty sure you need to flash that then xyanogen. give it a try and hopwfully it works! ps. im assuming youre 32b
remember to wipe again via recovery, then flash drc83 then CM
Yeah, i'm 32b. Thanks for all the advice btw.
Just so i'm definitely on the same page, drc83 is the Tmobile 1.6 update (signed-kila-DRC83-from-CRC1.c41b93c1.zip) ?
Uhhhh when i flashed cm i had a diff filename drc83. google cyanogen wiki, thats where i doqnloaded mine in the past. where did u get that file, cause i didnt get mine from tmobile or anything lol
Hmm... I get a "Verification Failed" error....
Was it from flashing that drc83 file? if so check the wiki
Do you have google talk, this is difficult haha
yeah, anthony[dot]chan at gmail.

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
Hi there, i think i failed at trying to flash a ROM to my desire HD.
I followed the process for temp and then permroot and it all seemed fine. Read further to wipe all data so i did. Then decided to make a backup and that went fine aswell. Upon reboot it just hangs at the HTC logo. I have to pull the battery just to turn it off.
I can boot into recovery mode and tried to restore to my backup but same problem. Foolishly i did all this while waiting for the revolution ROM to download so not even sure how to copy it to the sd card and trying to flash it to the ROM to see if that gets its going.
Would really like some help on this =/
Spose the question is, now that i cant actually start the phone apart from into recovery mode, is there a way to copy the ROM to the sd card still?
Or any ideas on getting it to boot further then just the HTC logo?
help with images attached
wiping all data cause you to lose whatever is on there, inclusive of ROM etc, it sounds like it has nothing too boot.
you can mount your SD via CWM (clockwork Recovery) by going to mounts & Storage and also mount USB and it will then show up as it normally would on your PC if you had a rom.
see photos to guide you
OH FYI youll need to format;
- Boot
- System
- Data
- Cache
Thanks, im able to copy the rom over now, ill flash to it and see how it goes.
Thanks, all is working now
So i have a desire hd from Three, which is unlocked and unbranded, i rooted the phone via the visionary method, got s-off, used rom manager to install clockwork mod recovery which was 2.5.1 something rather, then i created a backup, upgraded to clockwork 3.0.0.1, tried to install the cyanogenmod 6.1.3 via rom manager but didnt work, so i downloaded the zip file manually and tried to update via clockwork mod recovery now in 3.0, restarted, and am now stuck at the main HTC screen. Pulled the battery, then went back into clockwork recovery, tried to recover the backup i made, rebooted, but still stuck on htc white screen... dont know what to do help!
You could try flashing a RUU to go back to stock 1.32 would be best or you would need to downgrade to root, or you could try getting another rom image on your SD card isnt clockwork 3 4 ginger bread nightlies?
Just throwing ideas out there. Personally I would go woth the RUU.
Thanks for the reply, i remember finding some links with ruu's but i'm not sure which one i need and how to use it ?
Sorry just thought the other thing is how long did you leave it. I have read about people leaving for 30 mins and then it boots..
Start downloading this. Its the RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26 .03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed
http://www.multiupload.com/N333WKVW6M
while downloading leave your phone to boot it might surprise you..
I left it for a while but maybe not long enough, perhaps 15 minutes at one point? i'll try again, should i wipe data in clockwork and then reflash the cyanogenmod again? is it ok to keep the phone plugged into the computer via usb?
Sorry, once downloaded just run the EXE, it will walk you through the steps.
The Dev section has a lot of useful stuff in it for this sort of thing the 1st post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936214 is pretty usefull.

Worth a go whilst downloading, I would wipe 1st. Its good you still have your recovey partition (clockwork) so you should be fine. Use the RUU as the last resort as it will wipe recovery part and loose SOFF etc.. But should fix the phone.
Right so i've wiped data/factory reset and cache partition and dalvik cache, then went to choose zip from sd, chose update-cm-6.1.3-DesireHD-signed.zip, says Welcome to CyanogenMod-6.1.2-desireHD (strange?) completed. Now went to Reboot system now and waiting, still on HTC screen.
is it possible to put another rom on the sd card? i dont have a computer that i can plug the mini sd into, possible in recovery mode?

yes, but i dont know how of the top of my head, i will have a look in the dev forums, i think you use fastboot and u can push files. Hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge will see this post soon. I will have a look though.
so its been 30 minutes, and it's still at the htc screen... what should i do? should i try the RUU ? i dont want to brick my phone...
from what i can find fastboot will not push files, adb but may not connect on splash screen. You could just try pulling the battery and leaving it again to boot for a bit, mine has hung before like that. The Ruu should go through and connect to phone and go through flashing. Do you have another phone that could take the SD card? im gonna boot my phone to recovery and try to push a rom to it or file.
ok i am reading this post,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558812
what i would do is goto recovery mode,
he command is:
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push c:\******.*** /sdcard
exemple with g:\update.zip :
adb push g:\update.zip /sdcard
usefull when wrong rom flashed and no sdcard reader ^^
So i downloaded a cyanogenmod 7 nightly build, installed with with clockwork 3.0.0.5, and it worked, booted in, but had a continuous logo loop, going to try leedroid
Good luck, Leedroid rocks, thats what i use. I would say if it is still looping try the ruu and then start again. The RUU will esentially factory reset.
Installed the latest Cyanogen nightly build #23, and it works perfectly now should i keep it? or should i try leedroid? i kind of want to keep using htc sense, as i have all my contacts on it..
Up to you really. I went back to leedroid because it seems faster and more stable for me and I like some of the sense widgets.
