OK guys here’s my problem. I think that I have done something to my G1.
On seeing a load of vids on YouTube I went ahead and started to install the hero rom on my G1, I also used an xdathread to help me out
The process went install RC7 root it, install RC8 then install cupcake ADP and a new radio thing then install the hero rom
I did RC7>RC8>ADP fine then info was a bit thin on the ground for the final stage and the video wasn’t that well organised and I started the hero process from the wrong video and ended up deleting the recovery img that had been used to root my G1 and was present during the RC7>8>ADP install I then set about installing the hero rom holding power and home it started on the process and then aborted because something went wrong. I panicked and wiped the phone and put it back to the stock RC7.
I then had to re-register the phone with Google but the phone couldn’t communicate with the Google servers.
This is when I 1st thought something was wrong. I then used adb to bring up the wifi settings window to get passed the Google window. Since getting past the Google screen it says T-Mobile as my network but it doesn’t say 3G up top and I can’t send, receive texts or go online and I could before I started the Hero rom install.
Can anyone suggest what could be wrong?
Cheers

I have been using the Energy Leo Rom’s since September updating whenever I new rom is released, everything has always been fine with them and I absolutely love them. Me and my fiancée both use them, but lately my phone has been restarting over and over and will not boot, it gets to you boot up splash screen and restarts. When this began to happen I wasn’t even using my phone it was recharging as I was updating my computer to Windows 7, anyway I am able to revert back to T-mo’s stock rom and everything works, but whenever I go back to any none stock rom, even earlier ones it keeps doing the reboot thing, our second TP2 is fine. I have done research and haven’t found much I have ran Mtty at least a dozen times, even upgraded my radio, and nothing works but the stock rom, I have cleared storage both the software route, and the power, talk and end button route. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I just can’t handle this stock rom.

Are you able to re-do the Hard spl?
Yes, I have redone it and nothing changed, it goes through the initial TP2 screen showing the radio and other info in red on the bottom, but as soon as it goes to set up the rom is when it restarts. Whats weird is it is never at the exact same time, sometimes will be a second, other up to five seconds.

I know this sounds obvious and dont take it the wrong way but are you sure that the rom you are trying to flash as been unzipped properly and is named correctly. Try re-downloading a fresh rom and unzip it and rename it Rhodimg.nbh and put it on the root of your Sd card and try flashing it from the card. Also is the battery charged?
I am certain that the roms that I have been using are unzipped and named properly, there was actually a flahed rom on this phone that was workig fine until it started resetting with the rom on it, I wasn't updating or anything when it started to act up. Plus I use the same roms on a second TP2 which are working fine. I did try now to flash from my SD card, Hard SPL said it installed correctly but when I rebooted phone its doing the restart thing over and over still. Battery has been at 100% or close to for all flashes.
Did the 2.29.405.2 update OTA initially and noticed problems. So reinstalled it from SD card but no help.
Bought sim free, unbranded/locked and never rooted:
Cannot dial out from phone lists or contacts. Going to phone and clicking on an entry in the call list does not launch phone call any more. Going to contacts, opening one and clicking on an available phone number does not launch phone any more.
The only way I can make a call is to punch it in on the keypad! Grrr.
Wifi connects to my home base after a reboot but, after an undetermined amount of time it drops the connection and cannot get it again. Going to Wifi settings shows it scans, connects and tries to obtain IP address. After a short time it gives up, turns wifi off and starts over. Again & again.
Cannot get it to connect again without another reboot.
This is a crippling loss of functionality for me. Can anyone suggest a way to roll back this update so my phone works as id did?
Many thanks all,
M1
First try a hard rest(you will lose all personal data on the phone,pictures and other stuff on the SD will be fine). If that does not work try either the 2.29.405.2 or 2.10.405.2 RUU.
More info - to my horror, around 15 minutes after I had tried and failed to make calls from contacts the phone started making them one after the other as if they were stuck in a spool or something! Ouch - any thoughts?
Backup everything you can and flash the same ruu from shipped roms.

Thanks to all for help on this. Decided worth a trouble shoot before a hard reset and culprit seems to have been an app - extended controls widget. Removed this and all seems well again.
Try this one. This definately works! i have used it.

I was stuck at 2.29 update.
Then i used this guide and windows tool.
So i did this process and it rolled my phone back to stock android 2.1 rom 1.X
The first version that the phone was bought with.
This tool will boot the phone into bootloader and load a stock 1.x rom ota off the sd card as the tool will extract it to sd card and then load it.
This will wipe all your data not sure about the sd card as i dont remember any of that because i formatted my sd card after i had used the tool.
Thats because i had rooted my phone and tried custom sense hd rom.
The only reason i had was of the battery usage as the consumption was very badly increased and that the 2.29 rom was unstable.
PS: I did first try the htc service in Denmark. They couldn't help me and said i was stuck with the 2.29 rom update. :/
After my phone got rolled/flashed back to stock android 2.1.
The next day in the morning i could upgrade again to android 2.2 rom ver. 2.10 OTA from htc servers.
Maybe this works for you as i did for me and others.
Turns out it wasn't the app.
After a couple of days playing ok my sim free stock htc desire is unstable again.
Cut me off mid call - went to phone and clicked on last call entry - absolutely nothing happened, repeated with same problem. Exited phone to home screen then opened contacts and tried to make call from there - same behavior, a complete hang.
No web access either so opened wifi manager to find it hanging on "obtaining IP address" from my home network and continually shutting down and restarting wifi automatically at this stage.
Noticed general UI lag and several apps failing to open too.
Left phone alone and again, around 10 minutes later all of the actions - including trying to make the phone calls started running one after the other. Like everything had been caught in a spool or something. After this all seemed OK until it happened all over again later.
Although the UI seemed OK and some apps worked as expected, the only way to get phone and wifi working whilst it was hung was a warm boot.
Dreading a hard reset as it's going to waste another day or two getting everything reconfigured just so (can't find a back up solution that does everything - multiple mail account settings etc) but looks like only option.
Will try going back to mikep99's suggested rom as soon as I have time and will not be responding to an HTC OTA auto update offer again.
Grrr.
I still suspect an app conflict.
Can anyone recommend a util that might give me a clue which app / sys process could be hogging system / radio resources?
just got another OTA update pushed to me. installed (nothing to loose) and Congratulations my phone has been updated to 2.29.405.5.
Not sure whats going on here as that was the update I got 2 days ago. This time round it was only 4.8mb download so I'm assuming it's an update update. Hope it fixes things .....
Just a quick background to ky situation;
A couple of months ago, I got my DHD rooted and installed CM7. Since then I haven't really done much with it until a few days ago. Vodaphone recently rolled out the new 2.3 (or sense, not sure which) OTA, and I wanted to check it out. I booted my pre cyanogen backup and it loaded fine. All my root related apps (terminal, visionary, clockwork) were all there. Wanting to clear it out a little,.I did a factory reset. When it loaded, the root apps were gone.
I then tried to run the update, but when it loaded I got a black screen with a triangle and an exclamation mark and after taking out the battery, nothing had changed.
I then tried to flash the Vodaphone stock branded Rom, but clockworkmod wouldnt work, giving the message "an error occurred while trying to run privaledged commands. Now basically none of the programs functions work.
Admittedly I'm a bit of a join with all this stuff, and sorry for the long post, but if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
Hi all. My finicky T989 is stuck at the Android 4G screen and will not boot past it. Some background on the phone, about a year ago it was dropped in water. Immediately place in rice and after a couple of days it worked fine, with a few odd quirks. Initially the camera LED stayed on all the time, so i didn't use the phone for a couple pf months and when I went back to it, it worked fine. It doesn't like any roms other than TouchWiz, CM or AOKP versions give me all sorts of errors when running, normally I cannot access any of the phones memory.
So.....on to my current issue. The phone has been running fine, but last week told me the headphones were plugged in when they were not. I rebooted to see if it would fix the issue, but the phone is stuck on the Android 4G screen. I can access recovery (TWRP) and download mode, I have reflashed the installed ROM, which is a stock rom titled "UVMC6_HERCULES_TR_STOCK_-IQ_RIPPL-H20" and the phone still sticks at the 4G screen.
I have a backup, but it's a couple of months old. This is my wifes phone, so the lost apps are no big deal, she doesn't use too many to begin with. The big loss are the text messages. Since I can still access recovery and download mode, is there any way to pull the messages from there? My TWRP version is 2.6.0.0. I've tried to backup the data portion of my current rom, to save the messages, but it fails.

Hey! How was it going on finally? Did you try pyraxiate's suggestion?
If it works for you please let me know coz I don't want to try the complicated method that turns out not applicable.
I went through from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2, no problems, phone ran fine after update. Then went to 4.3, same thing. The phone was running fine so I booted back into recovery and removed Knox as well as manually rerooted by flashing SuperSU. Rebooted after that and still no problems, phone was running great. I then make a backup so I have a restore point of stock 4.3, rooted, and without Knox. I then go on and try to flash Dandroid and get a status 7 error and the phone was acting up after I rebooted.
At this point I go back to my backup and simply restore it and reboot again. The phone boots up, so that's a good thing. The problem is the GApps will not run and it continuously has a pop-up notification. The phone is rendered unusable like this. I got lucky once and was able to try and launch ROM Manager to see if fixing permissions would work, but it also closed. I tried flashing a 4.3 GApps package with no success and even tried reflashing the 4.3 update but got a status 6 error.
I'm at a loss here, does anyone have any ideas on this?
Not sure if this will help much, but even when plugged in via USB my computer will not recognize the device. The S3 states that it is connected and it does show up in Device Manager, it just won't show up as any kind of readable memory.
Trying to ADB sideload a rooted stock 4.3 ROM now. Any advice at all would be a help.
EDIT: I took a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJ-eaQ_9mVI) of the problem so everyone can see what I'm talking about and I also found a fix.
I'm not sure what was causing it, but after a solid day of researching it online the closest thing I got was resetting app preferences and also trying to clear any data of Google apps. This seemed to sometimes slow the popups down for me or create a longer gap before they just came right back in full force. So, going off that small success I had managed to navigate my way over to Settings -> Accounts -> Backup and reset -> Factory data reset and ran that. The first boot after that took a very long time, I'd say a solid twenty minutes but it did work. No more error and everything has been going smooth for me since. A restore of apps with Titanium Backup also did not bring the problem back up again, so the device seems to be good as new again.
I apologize if any of these is out of line, I just thought I would follow up with a solution in case anyone else has this problem and can't seem to fix it. Maybe this will help them.
