I have a question which is is there away to mount the sdcard not through the phone because when i use the ADB shell command or the Droidexplorer i cant get into the sdcard
i tried the command i found on this forum but it didnt help

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
o and umm you should be able to mount it by taking it out of ur phone and plugging it into your computer... you can get the lil adapter for like 3$ if you dont have it... makes it so you can plug the card in you computer direct thru usb connection...

ok what you want to do is power off your device. than you have to hold the home+power buttons, keep holding them untill the G1 logo appears. and depending on the screen that comes up which in your case it should be the little triangle with "!" in the middle of it? if thats the screen you get, than i need you to press alt+l <<thats a lower case L :D) after pressing that a menu should pop up, then you are going to press alt+w which will reset your phone to factory default. so make sure you back up all the files you need on your sd or computer.

when you power on the phone holding home+power if you get a different screen from what i described than you may possibly be rooted, in that case DO NOT follow those instructions bcause you will have to flash a rom...

try that first and tell me what happens

thats true but believe me or not i got the solution right here on XDA forums :)
Read these articles carefully and you will have it the way you want it to.

First read this guide and you will have adb installed on your pc so you can run commands on your phone http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=532719

now when all that is done and you have your adb installed and your phone connected all you have to do is wipe all data from your phone then load the images required as its been clarified in this post
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=566669

now that you have recovery image loaded into your phone go to this site to finish the loading the rest of file as its shown in this post
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=442480

was doing all the steps mentioned on those posts and trust me it a long way and it cant be easier than this

so what i did was deleting all data on my phone
mount the sdcard
copy recovery image to the sdcard
and use the command flash_image recover
and i got my phone working :)

    sorry for so many posts lol but another suggestion would be trying to un-root and starting from scratch http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=491350

    yea its (quist80) at yahoo . com

    At that screen you need to press the red power button for it to update. It's waiting for your action.

    Have you tried the NBH Orange image and instructions provided by EZTerry for updating the SPL and HBoot? If you have root, that should work. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831139

    I had a very similar issue a couple of days ago....

    Assuming that you can still load files the SD RAM (if not let me know, I can probably help):

    1. Please search unlockr or YouTube : How to unroot G1
    http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/23/how-to-unroot-the-htc-g1-dream/

    2. Follow the instructions, it will give you back a working G1 with stock 1.6 stuff.

    Fixed me yesterday and now I'm back on Super AOSP.

    Cheers.

    Hi GolfnWrx and sisterchick,

    I think ill just explain again what im getting here on my HTC Tmobile G1
    1- when i press the power button it turns on and freeze at the G1 screen
    2- when i press the Menu+green+power buttons it would still go to the G1 screen and freezes there
    now if i try to root my device
    1- i cant mount SDcard since it freezes at the G1 screen
    2- im copying the .nbh file and other files using a Memory card Reader
    3- pressing the cam+power buttons after inserting the SDcard in the phone again shows me that its loading the .nbh and the other files and it also shows me that i should press the power button to proceed or the green button to cancel but its again frozen and no buttons would respond.

    so theres no way that i can mount the SD or open or run any command through my phone cause it freezes. I am not sure if there are really old and new nbh file if there is i got here like 5 to 7 copies of it and none of them files helped

    so my question is is there a way to flash the memory of the phone without using any internal phone menus or command exactly like formating a computer using a system CD??

    I misunderstood - I didn't realize your phone was not rooted. The nbh file I directed you to - along with the instructions - are not flashable. Copying them to your SD card will not result in a change to your phone.
