    Default I think I bricked it!


    Long story short. My last G1 got trashed at work so got a new one today. Went through the root process with this one and ohhhh noooooooooooooooooo!
    Home + power to get to 1.4 now gives me the death triangle. And when I turn on the phone the boot image comes up and then goes to a blank screen.
    No way to load or correct anything.

    Went South after the new radio and spl.

    Thoughts, Ideas?

    If that does not work... Id suggest downloading the dreaimg.nbh file and flashing by holding camera while pressing power button and follow the steps. Then go wiki.cyanogenmod.com and root your phone using the instructions on that site.

    That got me back sorta..... After the wipe I tried the update.zip but would not let me load it. Rebooted and now I am 1.6 again but it looks stock. No roms shown.

    Thanks for the help, I guess I will try again from scratch. This is what I have now.
