Rom booting help? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using a Dream and 8gb card (no idea if its class c) I've downloaded 4 different Hero roms and every single one of them has gotten stuck at the htc logo on the first reboot and it just goes in a loop of the little hero man and the htc logo. The only one that didn't do it was the JacHero rom but it was terribly slow and every time I went home it reloaded. What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?

spl update problem

hi i was able to do the hero update once before, but now im back to jf1.51
now i want to go back to hero and everytime i try to update the spl i get stuck in fastboot mode and i have to start all over again starting with rc29
i've tried wiping first and i've tried not wipping, everybody says its suppose to get stuck on g1 screen and then do the hero update, but mine always gets stuck on fastboot...but remember i was succesful the very first time i did all this! I am very frustrated please help!!!
Read my man. Read.
Not trying to be a a$$ but you need to find the Hero build you're wanting to put on and read the very first page of the thread. It will tell you all you need to do to flash the ROM.
I will say that you will most likely need the lastest radio, SPL and it wouldn't hurt to get Cyanogen's 1.4 recovery image.
All of these are readily available probably in the first three pages in the dev section.
trust me i've done all of those things you said i got all the latest updates, like i said i did it before, but now its not letting me, i have read read read....believe me im not retarted, i had it working once before, now ill tell u again after updating the new radio it says to rebbot so i do...then it takes me back to the recovery screen and at the bottom it says "formatting cache..." so i reboot again as im told to do and then the only screen i can get up is the fastboot loader. but if i try to install the new rom before i reboot the second time it takes me to the htc logo but loops!?!
Are you flashing Drizzy's Hero? If so, did you do your wipes and reformat your ext3?
Ya first I put jac2.63 on it that's when it worked I also didn't have my sd partioned at the time. So then later I partioned it into the 3 ones required when I went to try to hero back on and I was trying to put drizzy 1.7 on it. I heard that the rom litterally goes on the sdcard is this true. What goes on the ext3 partion??? Should I redo the partioning part
hello please someone help i am scared to try flashing again cause i had to go back to rc29 about 6 times, please read everthing i posted earlier to better understand my problem

my phone will not come off the t mobile G1 screen

I have installed every thing besides a rom and right before i did the phone is just stuck on the the G1 screen and will not go to boot or the recovery does anybody have any answers for me
Wrong thread. Try the HTC Dream thread.

boot loop on alll hero roms?

I have read every forum on earth dedicated to the hero rom for g1. None have seemed to solve my issue. I have a class 2 8 gig sd card and I have 3 partions. I have wiped repaired flashed so many times I can do it with my eyes closed (literaly). I get to the androids waving then the htc logo...then black screen then again and again and again...forever. I now need help google is my friend but not a very good one....I can flash any other rom except for the blood clot hero rom. So if there is anyone out there who can fix this then by all means respond...
have you done a normal wipe (not ext partition wipe device wipe)?
have you got haykuro(death) spl?
have you got correct radio?
or
First, you could try putting a strand of anal beads in the phone and hit it with a hammer. Then take out the memory stick and pour some Booty Sweat into the circuit board to lubricate it. After that, put the memory stick back into the phone and turn it on. I think that will work.
I have a similar issue. I have the most recent radio and haykuros spl. When I try to flash any hero rom I get stuck at the hero boot screen, with ot repeating over and over... I have ext 3 and 4, swap, and its a class 6 8gb. Not sure why I can only get jACxROM to work, its the only one I can wipe and flash to. Any ideas? I have searched all over and nothing works.

You have something left over that isnt getting wiped, its either the ext partition, your dalvik cache, or your SPL/radio arent the correct one. Reformat your entire SD card from scratch and I will bet it solves your problem.
wipe/fdr
wipe ext partition
repartition(at least 96 mb for the linux_swap)
upgrade partition(upgrade_fs)
after the upgrading the partition pull battery
load rom back onto sd card
put battery back in
boot to recovery
wipe/fdr again(this is the step that is normaly ignored)
flash rom
reboot
ur good to go
wut i noticed is that the amon recovery one click partition only sets 32 mb as linux.swap and u need at least 96 for the mytouch/magic 126 for the g1/dream

What type of card do u have. Kingston, Trancend, etc.... I was having the same problem with a cheap no name (no name on the card itself) microsdhc.... What brand do u have.... Make sure its one of the popular brands above... The cheap ones always sent me into bootloop...
there is a solution
i had the same problem with hero roms and there is a post on one of the forums that solved my issues. i'll look and tell you where to get it if i can find it, but you can start in q and a.
Appreciate all the support y'all boys(yeah I'm from georgia)

[Q] My Phone Bricked Itself

I got a ATT Tilt (used) a few weeks ago. I updated it with the AT&T update from the HTC website. All was well. I then did an installation of Android 2.2 to the SD Card. Again, everything went well. Then a few days later, I started having trouble booting the phone. It would occasionally hang on the boot screen, but restarting usually cured the problem. Then one day it went to the boot screen and stayed there no matter what I did. I am able to reinstall the ATT image both from my PC via USB and from the SD card. I also tried using MTTY, but no joy. One of my problems though is there are so many different suggestions what to do on XDA (some of which are conflicting) that I don't know what is the right thing.
I really liked my Tilt; is there any hope, or is it now just a paperweight?

It's in Q&A. What's wrong?
G1 hanged at white screen!
Hi all,
I really need a help here. I have a G1 rooted with CM rom ver5. it was working fine since 3 months but suddenly now the phone doesnt boots up, it goes to white screen with 3 droid skaters and highlight on Hboot. It is freezed then and nothing can be done. I removed battery and tried booting by home + power ; camera+power etc etc . nothing happens it goes to that screen only. i have amons recovery and also nand backups in sd card. but the system doesnt let me go any where!! Please help......
before flashing radio, spl, rom...anything...u need to check out the warnings and compatibility-MUST!!!!
there are 32B and 32A devices...both have different stuffs for themselves....which can be bricked if u dont follow the guidelines and try to act in sort of a haste to accomplish something new!!!
for those who can get to the camera+power (hboot) screen, but cant do anything else...u need to format ur sdcard...FAT32...then download dreaimg.nbh file...keep it in the root of ur sdcard...
then boot into the hboot menu, and ur phone should read the dreaimg.nbh file and prompt u to take an action(flash it)....do that and it'll get ur phone to the stock rom thingy....
then later u gotta root ur device again(telnet, great)....then install amon ra's recovery...change radio and what not and play again....
u gotta be patient...that's the only thing!!!
check this too

Thanks alot Alok, the sd card was culprit i did a format and my recovery started working...now restored with nand!
that's good glad we are of help
