G1 - strange situation

Hi all,
I did a factory reset for the first time tonight. Everything seemed to work fine. I left it on the home screen, went out for a cigarette, came back five minutes later, and this was the screen I came back to:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Hitting Alt+W to do the factory reset again doesn't fix it, as it just reboots to the same screen again.
Is there anything I can do to fix this? Can I apply an update via SD? If so, which one should I use?
I was running RC29, and I would love to keep root access, but my first priority is to have a usable phone. Should I just apply the RC30 update from Google via SD, would that work, and are there any other options?
I will be forever grateful for any information!

alt-L =text mode
home + back button= reboot

Of course I tried that before posting.

RC30 just patches a few files and isn't a complete ROM update like RC29, so I doubt it would resolve your issue.
I'd suggest you try to "update" to RC29 again from SD Card.

Dave,
Thank you so much for that invaluable information!
The RC29 update on google's site seems to be gone now:
https://android.clients.google.com/updates/signed-kila-ota-115247-prereq.TC4-RC19+RC28.zip
Does anyone know where I could still find this?
UPDATE: I haven't attempted the update yet, but this looks like a working mirror:
http://rs305.rapidshare.com/files/159243313/signed-kila-ota-115247-prereq.TC4-RC19_RC28.zip

if that mirror no longer works i have the file and will upload for you if needed

That file worked, and my phone now works great!
Thank you all for the information I needed.

I think I bricked my NS

I was flashing CM7. This is what I did:
Rooted, ClockworkMod v3.0.0.5 from Rom Manager.
From recovery did a BackUp (seems useless because it doesn't do anything.)
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe Cache partition
Install zip from sdcard - selected cm7 - got a Status Error 7
Now the phone won't boot, stays on the Google screen, I can get into the recovery though.
Any ideas? I am downloading the Stock 2.3.3 image.
Thanks!

restore your backup.

I tried doing that from ClockworkMod, gave me an error, it was a ridiculously small file, doesn't seem like a backup.
Even the stock gives me a Status Error 7.
Any ideas?

you didnt brick, just download a a new rom, sounds like it was a bad download.. if the phone shows a screen it isnt bricked...

This is what I get. For both Stock 2.3.3 and CM7. I've tried multiple times.

right did you re download it and copy it back to the phone or just going off the rom you downloaded already? if so worst case shouldnt odin work?

I'm downloading it again. Should I rename it to update.zip? Odin, that's the software right?

I think your problem is because you are using the clockwork mod for I9020, where as for rogers you should be using clockwork for i9023 -- at least this was my case, I have i9020a rogers
you can get it from this link 2nd file.
after using this one you shouldn't be getting "E: can't mount cache" and you shall be able to repeat rooting/flashing steps.

I was feeling so, either the ROM or the recovery. I'm just flashing the recovery, thanks for your help.
Also, how do I manually install ClockworkMod?

What is your computer OS? do you have android sdk?
In general everything you need is in this post

Now i have found that device not only stops at logo (security error) on hard reset but on restore personal data from original rom backup and on sim remove/ insert or trying to change any file of system!:crying:
I followed the following flashing procedure, just done full wipe, then flashed the rom and flashed update supersu 2.01. that is all!

I did basically the same thing and I have it working now. However the knock on is still a pain in the a$$ and there is still the dead spot in the upper part of the screen. It was not there before kit Kat.

Please also help me !

Same problem for me after flashing lamhoang 1.5 (back from Lamhoang Final ART).
However, I factory rest it (using hard button) and enter recovery, reflash lamhoang final again.
It works!

Can u get the phone back into recovery mode? With the phone off, press and,hold the power and volume down button. When the LG logo appears let off the power button and quickly press and hold again. The screen should turn white and will ask if you want to do a factory reset. Choose yes and you should go into recovery mode. Hopefully you can get that far. Then you can reinstall from your backup(if u made one) if not. Be sire you do a wipe. Also if you unzipped the file into multiple folder you can have problems too. If so flash the backup and delete everything except the zip file. Once you are in recovery wipe the data. Be sure to include dalvic cache and cache. Then flash the cloudy Rom,zip file and all should be good. Pm me if you have any questions about it.

Thanks for suggestion!
But i always go into recovery, do a full wipe (dalvic cache, cache, system and data)!
But the problem of security error is always there!

Flash a proper kernel for it to run.
Ask in his thread, that's the best.

You need to flash Kk_baseband for your device
There is link in clody g3 rom thread

Triforce to 5.1 JFLTE-GPE to Soft brick

I hate to be the guy asking about a soft bricked phone but I can't seem to find anything in the other soft bricked threads that helps me.
I was trying to go from Triforce to 5.1 JFLTE-GPE. When I flashed I had no APN. I read that factory resetting through recovery then reflashing could help with that but it didn't seem to help. I managed to do that 2 or 3 times without any effect, then CWM informed me on a reboot that I might've lost root. I told it to try to recover root and rebooted. No change. I go to start CWM again and it doesn't start. I used ODIN to renew root and reinstall CWM. Now it wont go past the S4 screen.
Since then, I'm getting errors any time I try to flash a new rom. I can't seem to side load a rom from Odin either. I keep getting FAIL(Auth) errors. L720_OD2_Pre-Rooted_Firmware.tar doesn't work for me. I'm unsure if I should be trying to flash other versions instead. I'm using Odin 3.07.
When I use CWM recovery to try and directly flash Zips the 3 that I've tried always fail. Half the time it's telling me it's a bad signature. When I toggle signature verification it fails.
I have no idea what's going on anymore. Help?

You can only Odin the same or newer firmware, since you are on OH1, you can only Odin OH1. Also use TWRP for recovery as it's been the only that has been updated for Lollipop which is probably why you're getting all the errors.

Boots only to TWRP - Need help fixing

Hi there. About a year or so ago I went about flashing my Tab but it went wrong and now all I can do is get it to boot to TWRP. Would someone be so kind as to tell me step by step what to do to get it back working? I'd prefer it to go back to stock ROM without TWRP or other 3rd party flash programs but I'll take what I can get. Help appreciated.
This is what I get when it boots:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Bump.

Did you try booting to DL-mode (via adb reboot for example) and flash a stock ROM with ODIN?

I got a reply! Thank you!
No I didn't try that. To be honest I used to flash android stuff all the time but kind of having been doing much of that stuff the last few years so I don't remember how to do any of that. If you were so kind to provide me a link or walkthrough on what to do that would be HUGELY appreciated. Thanks for the reply.

What was the goal when you started down the path of installing TWRP? It seems like you might have been part way there if you got that far?
There are Lineage install instructions here. <-- More importantly Odin Download if you don't already have it.
If you decide to try Lineage, the latest builds require new firmware found here. It can also be obtained by returning to stock and updating.
Anyways If you are in TWRP, in the restart menu there is an option to restart to download. If will reboot to a black screen, just hit the power button once when the screen goes off. Before you do this, you need to obtain stock firmware, from somewhere. (Sammobile or something like that) You will also need Odin, link above.
As with anything proceed at your own risk.
Once you have those files, you can extract the firmware. They will be labeled and go into those spots in Odin, AP, BL, CSC, then you should be able to hit start. I'm going from memory, as I haven't had to restore mine since I got it (and looking at the files in stock firmware file).

Idk how relevant this is anymore but I had this same issue after I install lineage 18, there's a multi-disabler zip I got awhile ago that fixes all my flashing problems related recovery loop. Just Google that zip, flash it then format and restart. That what I've done easy fix, this assumes you followed the basic steps to properly flash whatever it is you're trying to.
