[Q] G1 randomly stopped working - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
I have a G1 running the Cyanogen 6.0. It was working fine last nigh before i went to bed. Got up this morning and went to make a call and i got this error message:
the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. please try again
So i rebooted figuring i hadn't done it in a while and that would do the trick. Phone reboots and still had the error and it wouldnt go away. So i decided id just reflash, went to reboot into recovery and now its just stuck on the Tmobile G1 screen. Cant get into recovery no matter what i try, and now i cant even get back in period.
Any thoughts here? Is it finally bricked?

Specifics please.
RC1 or RC2? What recovery, etc.? Can you fastboot? Can you boot into safe mode? etc...

RC2, Amon Ra. I can fastboot but its not loading the Dream.img.

and no i cannot reboot into safe mode.

Think i got it figured out.

If your file is named "Dream.img" then that is a HUGE problem... Should be "Dreaimg.nbh"

My G1 will only boot up sometimes showing up the screen???

I have never encountered this issue... have been flashing roms for years.. on my windows phones and my G1 since it was possible..
The other day I went up update my phone to the latest CM ROM.. my phone finished and then I booted up the phone.. the screen was black.. i waited for a long time and not even the G1 screen showed up..
I booted again.. and same thing.. i booted again for days and tried getting into the recover with no luck..
I read someone had a simliar issue on here and they went into recover (though no screen or text shows up on screen) and proceded to hit alt w to wipe..i did that aswell and the next boot up the G1 screen showed up. I then did a complete wipe from there and began to install the new HTC recover and CM rom from scratch.. then same thing happend.. i kept getting the black screen...
I then tried to install the original SPL and install the original G1 rom and start all over.. i was able to install the original SPL (which I think is part of the issue) and then turned off the phone.. I placed the dreaimg in the sdcard and went to hit CAMERA and POWER.. and nothing shows up..
I can't for how many times i tried am able to get the phone to go into the install screen from holding down CAMERA and POWER..
I am able to restore the phone using the nanback up from the recover but since I installed the SPL it went away.. not sure if they are connected somehow.. so now i don't have those options either..
Can somebody help me with some ideas on how to fix this?
If you can't get into recovery? To me it looks like a brick phone.
As far as been here and read some post about not able getting into recovery or tri color screen not working as well and not getting any response from phone

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I am able to get to the Amon Ra recovery.. and do things from there.. the problem is that when I reboot..it sometimes shows up the G1 and sometimes it stays black..
I tried reverting back to the original ROM by putting the dream on there at that point i noticed that when hold camera and power nothing happens..im' still able to reboot and go into Amon Ra recovery though..
Just an update.. i noticed that my phone only boots up properly if I slide out the keyboard before I press the power button to turn on the phone.. same thing applies when getting out of standby mode while the phone is on...

i9001 Bricked or just plain faulty?

ok, so i got this phone from a classmate. very nice: i9001.
problem is, the thing is stuck in download mode... wouldn't boot any other way.
i think, just reflash the rom and it will work again.
so i get it to be recognised by odin, flash the rom, and the thing starts getting stuck at samsung logo.
so i go to samsung service and they do the exact same thing. with the same results. since the phone had been dropped at one time, no warranty.
i can't let go, so i decide to flash CWM. HEY! the thing starts booting
but now it just reboots instantly after 2mins of usage.
does anyone have suggestions on what to try next?
currently i got it back to stock everything.

Unsure what this problem is.. Looked Everywhere!

My htc vivid stopped turning on for a good day.... Left it there on the charger. Still didn't turn on. Then one day out of the blue I tried it and it turned on again. I'm able to get Bootloader and Recovery to work. But there is another problem too it. ((When I try and reboot my phone my screen gets stuck on htc screen)). So I try and factory reset my phone another problem occurs it says "unable to mount /emmc" something like that. And nothing else mounts. So now Im unable to factory reset and im stuck with an htc screen.. I don't know what to do..
This is quiet frustrating. Ive spent all day trying to find something that works or that can help me and ive got nothing...
Can someone help me out?
Thanks.
Im using an HTC Vivid. Previous ROM that I remember was Pac-Man JB..
It stopped working one day randomly when my phone died...
You'll need to relock your boot loader and run your carriers ruu. Then, unlock your boot loader and flash a good recovery (NOT CWM). Then reflash the ROM of your choice

Stuck on Optimizing App, can't get in to Recovery Either

I turned on my phone today and it got stuck on the:
Android is upgrading...
Optimizing App 1 of 1
I couldn't get past that so I tried to just do a restore on the phone, when I enter recovery that too gets stuck on the "no command" screen and no options come up.
I haven't unlocked, rooted, or installed any custom ROMs so i'm a bit at a loss how to fix the problem. I am still running 5.0 as I never got the 5.01 update yet also.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: After about letting it sit for 45 minutes it finally gets in and then was able to reset afterwards. No clue what caused it to begin with.

Phone memory seems to be read only

As I said in the title. The phone's memory seems to be read only.
I can access the fastboot mode of the phone and issue commands like flashing the recovery but it doesn't seem to update anything on the phone even though I get the "OKAY" message.
My phone is unlocked and until last night I was running CyanogenMod on it just fine. But now I can't flash a new recovery or access it. I have TWRP installed but everytime I try to boot into recovery the phone gets stuck on the logo screen and flashes every couple of seconds.
If I try to start my phone normally I get the cyanogenmod logo on start up (even after flashing stock) and the phone never actually boots up.
Anyone had the same problem before? If you need more details I'll reply ASAP.
My phone is the retail European XT1068 Dual Sim. Thank you in advance for any help.
Same issue here (I'm MrPowerGamerBR on Reddit), the more I read about trying to fix this issue, the more I start thinking "this phone is dead, move on..."
There isn't no fix for this, the only way to fix is replacing the logic board.
