    Default G1 not bricked but not right


    sorry if this is a re-post, have searched and searched and havent found the answer to my problem. I have a rooted G1, been rooted for quite some time, and been running TheDudesCupcake.v1.3.RC2 for over a month now with absolutely no problems. Last night i woke up was groggy and checked my phone for the time, it said safe mode in the lower left hand corner, no idea how that happened since i hadnt touched the thing in hours. It was non responsive to buttons i pushed then rebooted so i just ignored it. when i woke up it was in recovery mode (JFv1.41) and now it wont do anything but that. cant pull up bootloader no matter what, pressing power just brings up recovery. buttons seem to be rather non responsive. Alt+W wont reset it. I tried re-flashing my rom, still comes up recovery. Any suggestions?!?

    Try performing a wipe( alt+w) in recovery and installing a new rom . Looks like your rom might have corrupted . First , try just a wipe . If that doesn't work , put a new update on your sd card and update your phone . Try a cyanogen rom .

    strange . its behaving like its missing a rom or like the spl isnt loading the rom . this is the first time i have ever advised this (i am cringing as i write this ) , try putting on a fresh spl .

    have you tried starting it up yourself in safemode ? turn on holding menu and power buttons together . hold menu until booted .
    have you installed anything or have you done any hacks recently ? maybe a theme ?

    maybe your home button is stuck and when you power on it takes you to the recovery ?
