hello all, i need help again this time.
let's get to the point.
this morning, i tried to charge my G1 because the battery has yellow color.
when i charged the phone, after around 5 minutes, suddenly my G1 restart itself and then after the "G1" logo, the screen go all black, sometimes not all black but there's a little glitch (white-green-purple-all little colors.)
the phone got heated on the bottom part everytime i power-on it, even just on battery (not charged).
i tried "Camera + Power", it's only getting to that red-blue-green-white screen that shows :
"DREA100 PVT 32B
HBOOT - 0.95.0000
CPLD-4
Radio-2.22.23.02
Sep 2 2008
Serial0"

and it stops there for AGES . won't do anything.
i tried "Home + Power", i tried to hold down that two buttons for 25 second more, but it keeps normal boot, shows G1 logo, and then black screen again.
i tried "Menu + Power", it just the same as "Home + Power"
my G1 has never been rooted, it's all original, i haven't done any system upgrading-downgrading things.
the charger is the original one, original from htc
the battery is new, i've just changed it one month ago.
that's all the informations that i can give.
so, anyone can help me solving this problem?
if its not rooted or anything than that means its HTC's fault not yours. and since you cant access the recovery menu to flash a new rom or recover a nandroid backup, it sounds like you're up ****s creek with a turd for a paddle.... unless somebody has developed a way of flashing without recovery. in other words; get a new phone or send it in to t-mobile.
Get an SD card reader an put a DREIMG.nbh on your sdcard to downgrade to RC29 (push power+camera, select confirm), then wait for the OTA to push you to DMD64. You will loose all your data but at least your phone will work.
Alternatively, after downgrading to RC29 you can exploit the bluetooth bug to gain root access, and after that install CM5.0.8 and be twice as happy with you chunky old G1.

okay, i think i'll try this one.
just another information, i've tried another combination of buttons, such as hold down together "Call + Menu + Power" and then slide quickly to Home button, but it's giving no effect too

Call+Menu+Power is for a reboot while the phone is on lol. Only other way is "blue light mode" which is trackball and power, but I don't feel like explaining it to you=p.

Nothing is supposed to happen unless you have a JTAG afapter. And why the hell post in two different forums?

wow, i guess JTAG Adapted would be another long explanation, huh?
yes i made two posts. You know that sometimes, some people prefer to go to just specific thread/subforum, ignoring the other thread/subforum.
but who know if that people can help me?
hey, i'm back.
after days to days downloading DREAIMG.nbh again and again, finally i got the right DREAIMG.nbh, not corrupted one.
and yes, i successfully update, all stuff are signed "OK" , and then i press the action (trackball) button, restart the phone, and guess what? it turns back to the beginning problem, still. "G1" logo, and then turn to whole black screen.
so, now what?
am i bricked?
or is it hardware problem? (remember i said that everytime i turn on the phone, the down part, near sim card, is always getting heated)
the only screen that can be accessed is that rainbow screen and the update screen (Camera + Power).

im pretty sure the heat issue comes from the processor, not the sim card. mine does that too. its nothing to worry about as long as you havent overclocked your device (mine is overclocked and works great aside from gettin warm during heavy usage.) what happens when you plug the phone into usb? does it show the SD card or can you get into the android sdk? its a long shot as i doubt you can get into debug mode without having a uncorrupted os, but i guess its worth a shot.

the phone can't get into the home screen, it's always going blank after Tmobile-G1 logo.
so when i plug the phone into usb, it's just charging, no SD card recognizing on my computer.
And how can i get into Android SDK ?

Ok, so I have a new Nook Color with 1.2 stock. I booted it up registered it and then I used the manual rooter method. It seemed to root fine but when I started my nook color again it showed some new animation and then after that it wanted me to register it again with B&N. I tried to register but my nook color keyboard pops up and disappears again and will not let me enter any information. I tried reverting back to stock by the 8 failed boot methods but it still shows the new animation and the keyboard still acts the same way. I try using CWR but I cannot format and erase anything. So any clues?
Another question I have is I can use my Nook color with a SD card running Cynamod 7 and it works fine. My question is when I am running from the SD card can I take the card out while the nook color is on and put in another card with lets say music and such?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance
Stupid question: I've had problems on 2 different Nook Colors with "phantom clicks" where, if there is some residue on the screen, it will click there. It's possible that was happening on one of the fields, de-selecting it. Is your screen very clean?

Is / was it plugged into power or usb at the time? I've had plenty of occasions where heat from charging has played havoc with my screen, from complete unresponsiveness to phantom touches no where near where I wanted to touch? Second question....No clue, I run from EMMC.

No it is not plugged in
I have tried it unplugged, plugged in, plugged in to computer, unplugged from computer, cleaned the screen, used a stylus and still no help. The keyboard will pop open and then close. I think I really messed up my nook and will have to run it from SD card which android does run fine.
So since knowone has an answer is it possible to format the full partition on the nook color and then reinstall the original stock image. I tried reinstalling the stock image but that did nothing. I was just wondering if I can format the nook color that would get rid of all the images of rooting and such.
I'm having this exact same problem. Were you able to fix it?

Actually yes I was. I did the 8 failed boot and then after that I did reset to factory defaults by pressing and holding the power button and the n button while booting after a few seconds I released the power button and kept the n button pressed and it went in to a factory restore. It took a couple of tries.
Hope this helps
OK, I've got a buck thirty-seven in loose change and a John Denvers Greatest Hits cassette for whoever can help me out with this one. I was going to return my Icona to stock last night so I could let it update to 3.1; using Thors CWM, I formatted /system then /data with plans to do a factory reset (out of habit from flashing my phone every week or so, I probably didn't need to). Before the data finished formatting, I got called away from my desk to the OR and ended up leaving the tablet alone for the rest of the night.
This morning, I found the tablet powered down; when I booted it, I got the Acer screen, then the android screen, then it powered down. When I tried to use a USB keyboard to get into recovery, I got nothing. When I tried to boot and hold the "-" down to flash update.zip, it would power off before it would get there. Tried to use the hard reset, nothing.
Put my son on the project today while I was working. He tried everything he could find, specifically the 9-step procedure. No luck there, it will power off before he can get anything done. Strange thing is I just picked it up after it has been sitting a while and tried to boot into recovery, and it went into CWM.... for about 5 secs, then powered down. Now it won't boot into recovery, powers down quickly. He said it did that earlier today, so it seems that if you let it sit awhile and boot, it at least will get into recovery initially (I'm gonna explore that theory, letting it rest now).
Anyone got any advice or ideas? I've searched the threads and can't find anyone who has had this problem yet. If the damn thing had screws on the back, I'd take it apart and drain the battery down. Someone throw some genius my way.
No clues other then if it onlybruns a few minutes is it getting hot
You can open the back with a credit card. Remove your similar then go along the edge starting acoss the tap taking care and be gentle. The plastic on the back is part of what removes as part of the metal to back cover.
Hope this helps

I might try that soon, gonna keep at it. It's not a heat issue; it only runs a few secs before it shuts down. I know it's got something to do with me formating the data and not finishing the reset.
Have to ask, but is the bat flat or does it do it plug in.
Changing my post...I got a question instead:
When you hold down the "-" key, do you see anything on your screen saying the recovery key was pressed?

Well, I let it sit for a while, and instead of holding down the "-" key, I plugged in the keyboard and pressed the home key. Nothing seemed to happen, but when I turned it back on after that it booted up and let me go through the setup screen. Strange, but at least it's working.

Yeah, it would say that the recovery key was pressed or whatever, just for about 1 sec, the shut off.
I purchased a used Acer Iconia A500 on ebay. It was sold As Is and I payed next to nothing for it. It came with no A/C adapter and had no charge. SO when I acquired a AC adapter and powered it on, it is asking for a password. I am an android phone user and I always root and run custom roms. I know that I can restore the tablet to its original out of the box state. But I was wondering how to go about it on this tab. I cant get it to boot into recovery and this is my first tablet. Im used to pulling the battery and holding down the vol and power. Im starting to wonder if I wasted $100.
Any help on this matter would be great. Im just not sure what I need to do to wipe all data and restore. I dont think this tab is rooted and thus no Clockwork mod. and I do not have a SD card in the slot. Do I need to have a stock rom on the SD card. This tablet world is sooo new to me. thanks in advance.

You need to put an SD card in then put a stock rom on it then boot into recovery : hold volume- and power button until you see text in upper left hand corner don't let go until you see that. The volume- is closer to the power button you have to decrypt the stock rom too

Do,a,hard reset, it will delete everything and bring it back to factory reset by preesing vol + hold it then press power button until the acer logo comes up then release the power and toggle the screen rotate switch......search the instruction in you tube, search for acer a500 hard reset...
I got mine bricked for switching roms,so many times and this method save me althogh
I lost everything but i got it back to factory reset without recovery

That's a soft reset. Won't do anything.
If with stock rom try this..... Plug any external USB keyboard into the tablet USB. 1.Turn the tablet off. 2.Pull out the Micro SD. 3. Push and hold the power button and -volume button together. 4.When the screen lights up release the power button and push and hold the HOME button on the keyboard while still holding the volume- till you see the recovery mode. 5. With the arrows on the keyboard highlight the factory reset option and hit Enter.

thanks that worked great! I didnt have the screen rotation lock on and that was keeping me out of the recovery mode. I didnt need to use the keyboard method. Although I did order one of those leather USB keyboard cases for $19 today so I will be able to play arround with it. Once I get CWM on it will I need the keyboard or does the vol rocker work like on my EVO.

No. It works by holding power+volume down but you have to hold it until you see the recovery message not just the Acer logo.

You don't need a keyboard in recovery, vol. Buttons are all you need and power button to select.

Have a nook color, cm7 - screen will not light. Power will cut on and off (i can tell because volume buttons produce noise when on). Screen gives no illumination when on.
Nothing software or programming updated or changed that would have caused it. I've charged it overnight and attempted to cut on while plugged in.
Plugged back into laptop via USB and I can see (nook color icon with yellow exclamation point) but still no screen.
I'm at a loss. Searched all posts but cannot find one similar. Thx!
I know that this happens and is fixable, although I cannot remember where I saw the "official" fix. If you have nandroid backups on a SD card, you could hard reboot the nook with the 8x reboot, and then reflash CWM and restore your backup.
Are you willing to lose your data and temporarily revert to stock?
I'll give anything a try.
Thanks for the idea. I'll try this in the morning and repost. I had thought about hard booting and taking it back but was worried they wouldn't replace it since it had been rooted. I'll go back and research the steps you mentioned. I'm not a techie so it will take a fresh mind and some coffee to pull it off. I was beginning to think it was a bad screen.
Power off nook, and power it back on. As soon as it begins to load, press n, power, and volume+ (I learned it with both volume keys, but I just heard it may only need the +) and hold for about ten seconds. The nook will flash off, release buttons. The nook will automatically restart, so after you release the keys, you want to repress them gain right as it starts to boot (where you would normally see the cyanogen logo). After the eigth time it will load into froyo firmware. If you. Misstime the sequence you will need Ronstadt over, so if it doesn't work the first time, just try again. Maybe a dark room, so you can see the slight illumination somewhat.
Bad screens do happen, I suppose, but the nook is unbrickable from a software standpoint. The primary boot is off the sdcard, so there is always a way to circumvent or preempt anything that may be corrupted internally. If you were to have a bad screen, after you hard reboot the nook, it will load the stock OS, but if you flashed CWM internally that will still be in your emmc. The way to get rid of the CWM is to follow the hard reboot with a factory reset through the froyo menu (standard nook OS for any future readers). If your screen is indeed bad, you can take your chances that they wont notice since they are replacing an obvious hardware issue, or you could hold it next to a working nook and base your touches approximately off that. There aren't that many steps, but you.do have to go through the B&N registration process, and your user name and password would be a *****.
I might just hard reboot and roll the dice myself, although I haven't personally heard of a bad screen yet. Good luck.
Solution worked!!
Thanks so much.....I couldn't get the 8x to work because the screen was not on and I couldn't time it right. The only way I could tell if it was on or off was with the power button making noises. So I held down power and N button together until flash. After the flash the cm7 open screen popped up. woot woot. and many thanks but I can only push the button once.
