Help?! Bricked? I hope not...

[cmsullivan09]

Okay I have HTC Dream(G1) it's rooted with the Flash Android 1.6 & CyanogenMod 4.2.5/4.1.9999 I was in the process of updating it to the HERO ROM but I didn't upload the SPL, I can get to the Recovery screen an BOOT screen, but it's stuck on the G1 screen, does anybody have any experience in this? oh yeah I was wondering if I used a sd card reader would I be able to load all the right things on there then just put the sd card back into the phone an fix it from there?

any help would be appreciated

yes, you can do that

[ggrant3876]

You are just soft bricked, put a rom on your card and reflash. Should fix it.

[cmsullivan09]

so do I have to put the SPL on the card first?

[hondamx525]

No reflash the rom that you were using before. The only thing that CAN brick your phone is flashing an SPL so be careful.

Could somebody send me a link like a walkthrough cuz I figured out most of this but im stuck on what to do, after I get a memory card reader, should I just load it all over it again basically going back to the RC29 an trying to re-root it? sorry for being all noobish just trying to understand where i messed up at

HERO roms are 1.5 so it wont work if you already are using a 1.6 ROM... I tried and it wouldn't load into Android either...

if u get a card reader , jus load a cyan rom , wipe then flash ,




if u attempt another hero flash , remember u need a mirco sdhc card and REMEMBER ! RADIO FIRST THEN SPL !, and follow these procedures


wipe/phone data reset
wipe/repartition (ext2 partition and linux swap partition)
pull battery
load rom with card reader
now boot to recovery
wipe/phone data reset
flash the hero rom
reboot
wait
now ur there



if u get a boot loop on the hero boot img u missed a step
