Usb from recovery?

[NoTimeThanks]

I bricked it trying to install a theme. Now it hangs at the t-mobile screen. I have the original theme, but no way to get it on my micro sd card. Is there any way to access usb from recovery or the bootloader? Thanks in advance.

you gotta hit up the command prompt(windows) or terminal(Linux)

Boot into fastboot(Power+Camera)
Plug in USB, press back on phone
Make sure you have the driver for the G1 installed on your computer

confirm your computer detects your phone
fastboot devices

then run the fastboot command
(fastboot is a file that can be found by either compiling android or finding it on XDA)
(it is like adb)
fastboot push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip

those are the steps i used to recover my phone... there's something missing though. When you use this step. I forgot.

I don't have the update.zip i need on my phone. I just need to get it on there then i can just update it from the recovery menu. And what driver is that that i need?

Yea, the steps i just said was the way to push the file into your SDcard...
I was in the same exact position you a few days ago.


Using fastboot to push a file into the SDcard

I'll try to see if I can repeat the steps to see if it works... you still need the it.

on your phone, make sure you are in fastboot(3 skating Android guys)

then plug in usb, press back on phone

on your computer > device manager > (look for something about android)

click on it and locate the android driver's folder.






(checkin out ADB... not sure if I did my push there or fastboot)
