cannot manually install US official R83 update - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i rooted my phone long ago, i was running on ADP 1.6 R83...
however, it crashed somehow...
now i want to run it on the OTA R83.....
but....
it will abort installation
- -
there's nothing wrong with verification.....
only when it is almost done with the installtion...
it will automatically abort it...
- -
what should i do with it?
thanks

If you want to un-root and go back to stock firmware, just flash DREAIMG.nbh. Copy the file to your SD card, power down, then hold in the camera button while powering up. It should find the file and say "press action button to continue" press the trackball, and let it do its thing.
Once it's complete, reboot with call+menu+end
If you can live with pre-cupcake for a few days, it'll eventually update over the air on its own.

thanks...
but i actually root this phone from the Singapore Version HTC Dream....
does that matter?

thank you!!!
haha!!

tragedy....
i'm using ATT now...i've no internet from my mobile....

Help please

I tried rooting my phone, I downgraded too rc29 and then tried to root it and i failed. So i tried this process here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553416
I got to these steps
ON YOUR G1
1. Put SD in the G1 - Hold CAMERA + POWER
2. Press POWER to INSTALL
3. When COMPLETE Click TRACKBALL
4. Hold GREEN + MENU + RED -> REBOOT
The install went good, Said it was successful. But after i rebooted it would not get past the G1 screen. So i tried those steps again and now the install is failing. Any ideas what to do now? Hope i didn't mess my phone up lol
"Never mind, I got RC29 back on. Had to format then run it with only the dreaming nbh file. Apparently that process wont work for me."

how to recover from the flashed ROM, unable to reboot orstart

Flasehed this ROM: 23563 V2 FULL WWE-ITA using Jump SPL 1.93 which went fine but later after installing the apps asked to reboot.
Once clicked on the reboot unable to get the phone back.
Does anyone have any ides on this. on how we can recover this. Or Flash another ROM from this state.
Moved as not ROM Dev.
By unable to put back on i imagine you can't power on device? Remove battery and try after an hour or so.
If not then maybe the end of the road.

why did you use jumpSPL to flash a complete ROM???????????
its written everywhere that jumpSPL is only meant to flash HardSPL...and HardSPL is needed before you can flash any ROM. i mean why???????!!!!!
follow the advice the chef gave you in the thread for the ROM because i noticed you posted your question there as well in addition to starting a new thread here.
Try flashing Stock rom via 2GB or smaller SD Card. Check the wiki for Stock OEM Roms from your BRANDED Device.

Flashing Via MicroSD Card
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the Kaiser Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your computer
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to KAISIMG.nbh
4. Copy the KAISIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Hold in the Power and Camera buttons, then press the reset button with the stylus for about 3 seconds until the BootLoader screen appears
7. You will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
8. A message will then pop up asking you to press the Power button to start the update
9. Press power button to start flashing
10. Once phone finishes flashing and says Update Complete, reset with the stylus
11. When it gets to the screen where it configures the stylus, HARD RESET
(press left and right softkey buttons on the front and hold in reset with stylus until message appears)
12. When prompted, Press "Send Button" (Green Call Button on Front) to Clear Data
13. When prompted, Press "Send Button" (Green Call Button on Front) to Restart Phone
14. Follow onscreen instructions to set up your New Rom

Flashing Your First Kaiser Rom (For Noobs)
Guys,
Thanks for your advise, i have recovered my phone, i went into boot loader screen then flashed the original HTC ROM which is "TyTN II_AUS Hutch_WM6.1_Upgrade_20080602" which went through fine and ALL IZ WELL so far...
The reason i used the Jump SPL is that when i flashed normally, i was not able to get the ROM upgrade, it was throwing error message UPDATE error...
so
1. checked some info and Ran Jump SPL 1.93
2. Right click on the Active Sync then unchecked the USB connection
3. Connected back and ran the KaiserCustomRUU.exe
which went fine but anyhow learn lesson...
Thanks once again for everyone...

G1 bricked, please help

Hello, I got hold of an HTC G1 but it seems like it's bricked. When I turn on the phone it shows the T-Mobile G1 screen then boots into recovery every time, even though I never press the home button. Looks like this phone boots into hboot by holding the return button instead of the photo one, is that normal? I tried restoring the phone with the DREAIMG.nbh but when it instructs me to press the send button or any other key to cancel nothing happens. When I am in the recovery mode the keys seem to work as I can alt+s and alt+w. Is there some way I can fix this or might this be a bad keys/buttons case?
Thanks for reading.
Is it rooted? If so, try Flashing a ROM?
I don't think it's rooted, I have the official recovery img.
Redownload a new copy of the DREAIMG.img from another reliable source. I recall downloading one that was corrupt when I first rooted my phone and it gave me a few days of trouble. Try reflashing from there.

[Q] Rooting Lg Thrill ICS

I did figure out how to root it but where i found it on here should mention to flash the bootloader cause you will get a security error if ya didnt i primarily use root for my wifi tethering when i need it
So there's no other way to root without flashing a bootloader and another rom? I really don't want to get into that anymore.
Same here.
Just want to stay with the stock v30p after rooting.
It will be great if tjat can be done

doesnt anyone know of another method, i was on that page last night for 4 hours trying to get it to work without any luck, updated drivers, was able to get phone to boot into fast mode, but whenever i tried to install the boot loader it would always just chill on waiting for device. few ppl said to unplug and replug, or manually put into fast boot but nothing worked for me, couldnt get it to install bootloader.
ok ive figured it out. I really hate when they dont post all the steps and cause so much chaos, this is what worked for me.
1.follow the links on post listed above,
2.install the flash program as admin on pc
3.with battery out plug in while device manager is open and right click on the driver that comes up and update it with the driver in hacker file
usb_drv_windows, a box will come up say install anyways.
4.reboot computer with phone unplugged then reopen device manager
5.run allinonep90.bat file, hit any button then when asked to wait 5 seconds put battery back into phone. the next page will pop up with a list of
options, select ICS bootload.er, i think it was 8 or 9 and click enter. it will say waiting for device.
6.now go back to device manager and there should be another problem driver cosmo, right click and install the same drivers as step 3, once
complete hacker will auto find it and install bootloader.
7.next step select option 6 for GB recovery. apparently ics recovery on this is for a custom rom. when its done reboot and put the ziped su_bbox
zipped file on your sd card and turn off phone by holding power untill its off.
8. while off hold volume down then hit power until it vibrates, may have to do a few times before it vibrates then release power button while still
holding volume down. when the silver lg logo comes up release volume down. and phone will boot into recovery.
9.from here navigate to where the zip file is and install, after it does it will reboot and you will now be rooted.
hope this helps ive seen sooooo many posts with ppl having same problem as me and no one posting accurate guides.

Got me through a good bit here, but I'm at the point where I can't boot into recovery. The phone loads just fine otherwise, but I can not for the LIFE of me get into recovery mode (to flash SU_BBOX). I've tried "Vol-Down + PWR", "Vol-down + 3D + PWR"... etc etc etc... I've practically tried every which way and button combination, but still nothing. What am I missing? Yes, I DID use the tool to flash a recovery. Also, when I try to shut the phone down, it won't stay off. It turns off for a few seconds, then boots itself back up. What have I DONE???

thats a bug with the bootloader, turn phone on and then hold the power button for like 8 seconds to turn it off, not t hrew the menu.
once its off hold vol down then press power button. and hold for about 4 seconds, if it doesnt vibrate to turn off, release all and repeat untill it does. it takes me about 2-3 times befor it vibrates to turn on. after the let go of power until grey lg screen, you will notice writing in the top left corner, then let go of volume button.
Help me.

Can't figure out how to root this device
I have been trying for a long time to root my LG Thrill with ICS 4.0.4, but I am having trouble. I've tried countless times to root the device and followed the instructions precisely from the previous posts. I have also looked at other threads and can't find anything that helps. It would be greatly appreciated if somebody helped me out in rooting my device because a lot of the previous posts are slightly outdated. Maybe there is another method to rooting this device? All help is appreciated
The solution
i rooted mine with this http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-root-lg-thrill-4g-with-android-4-0-ics.html
i recommend the second process. its much easier. Then i installed this rom. Its great!. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2392309

Please help me unbrick my phone

EDIT: I accidently posted this in the wrong forum. Im have the international version, not Verizon!
I've been trying to get CM10 on my phone and somehow i messed everything up and now i can ONLY get into download mode.
Im trying to follow this guide to get back to stock:
I. Before You Begin
This will only work using a Windows machine.
This will only work on the T-Mobile US version and versions from outside the US. Do NOT use this on AT&T or Verizon versions.
II. Install the Drivers
Download the LG ADB Drivers and install them (if you don’t already have them installed from the rooting procedure you used).
III. Download the Necessary Files
Download the stock firmware for you specific device here and save it to your desktop (look for it in step 1 of the original post and make sure to choose the firmware file for your specific device version).
Download the LG Mobile Support Tool to your desktop, install it, and then close it once it opens automatically.
Download the FlashTool to your desktop (it’s the .zip file after clicking on that link).
IV. Unroot the LG G2
Turn off the G2 by holding down the power button and keeping it held down until the screen goes black, then continue to hold it for a few seconds after it goes black to make sure it shut down.
Plug the G2 into the computer via the USB cable while holding Volume Up at the same time to put it into download mode.
Right-click the FlashTool .zip file and select Extract All.
Double-click UpTestEX.exe from inside the newly extracted folder.
In the R&D Test Tool window, select the following for each option listed:
Select Type – 3GQCT
PhoneMode – DIAG
Select KDZ file – Click this and select the .kdz file we downloaded in the previous section.
Click Normal web upgrade test.
Click Upgrade Start in the new popup window that appears.
Select Republic of Korea and English for the Country and Language window that appears after that.
Click OK.
When it finished flashing and is all done, turn off the phone and then turn it back on by holding down Power and Volume Down until a screen comes up.
Select Reset (this will finish erasing everything off the device and bringing it back to stock).

Have you tried updating the united device drivers?

Do you still have a custom recovery? This happened to me, the same thing actually!
What I had to do was hold Volume Down and Power button until the LG logo shows up, then release ONLY the Power button while still holding the Volume Down button, then press the Power button again.
Or if this doesn't work,
Turn off phone, then when off, hold down power and volume down button until it reaches the LG logo and then release both buttons and hold it down again.
You will see a screen that says something like: Hard reset/ factory reset. Just follow the steps stated on screen until it boots you into recovery.
For me it took me to my recovery screen, where I just flashed a older ROM onto it. I then later flashed a recovery file.
It does take me a few times to get into that.
If that doesn't work, I don't know.
Thank you,
Stephen

Praise Jesus for this...I about had a heart attack. I have been rooting and installing custom ROMs since the G1...never had any issues. Was in a boot loop and could not get back into recovery for anything.
Nothing!
I rooted then attempted to installl TWRP... the phone turned off then turned on with the android ! icon... it shut off a few mins later. Now, all I get is the buzz and a black screen. LG Mobile Support Tool nor my computer will even recognize the device. Am I truly bricked beyond repair?
