After a hard reboot, my HTC G1 works fine, then locks up about 5 minutes later. I've tried both soft and hard rebooting. What's the next step?

hi viviana escobar you can take the battery out of the phone next take the sim card out. Now put the sim card back into the phone and then the battery this should reboot your network as well as the phone. Now if after this your phone still doesn't turn on you need to a hard reset. this will wipe out all the data on your phone. To do a hard reset on your phone hold the power button and volume up and down at the same time. Next you should see a screen that should shows fast reboot erase user data. This is should help.

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/ronald_e152e07e272e4f27

when you stuck on g1 big screen, you need:
1. download the right g1 radio
2. download danger spl. be carefull with this, search in wikipedia about it
3. download the latest rom

4. copy all file (in zip) to micro memory
5. enter fast boot (home + power about 20 second)
6. updated files radio first, reboot
7. updated dangerspl, reboot
8. updated rom
9. do hard reset / wipe (alt w) via fast boot
all done

If it keeps rebooting itself at the G1 and Android screen, you might want to factory reset the phone and clear all the data as there may be a virus. To do this, when turning on the phone, hold the home button and the power button even while the G1 screen comes up. Keep holding these until an image with a triangle comes up. You will then wait 5-10 seconds, and press the home and power button again together. This will bring up the OS screen, and provide you 4 options. One of these options is to wipe and restore to factory. Do this and your phone should work fine after you reboot again.

you may have to reboot your g1.....don't hard reset that will erase everything from your sim card ...try wiping you camera lens with a cloth and check your photos ..if that doesn't work then maybe you had a bad repair tech

try to remove the battery and the memory card first, wait for five minutes and pput back the sim card and the battery but not the memory card, try to open it again..

WARNING: hard reset will delete all data on the phone memory.

Okay the thing here is you need to master reset it.
Here's how it works:

1. Power off the G1
2. Hold Home Key + End key for 20 seconds or until you see a "triangle with an exclamation point and a picture of the G1"
3. Open the QWERTY keyboard and hit Alt+W
4. Restored!

To do a soft reboot, simply hit the Home+Back buttons when you reach the "triangle with an exclamation point and a picture of the G1" screen.

This will reset your phone as if it were brand new and your correct user name and password combination will work.

OMG MINES TOO, den a few weeks later, it stays blk,it only works somtime wen i keep [pressing] random buttons but now it stays pitch blk , :( but as for now since ur phone is actin like tht before it gets worst, reboot ur phone by turnin it off, then hold on to the power/end button nd da home button at the same time for at least 15 sec. then a rebooting sign will come on, tht shud fix ur phone for the mean time .

This problem had been bugging me for over a month now so I decided to just try and wait it out. First I deleted all the threads individually that the phone would allow me to so that just left me with 3 big threads, one that had 1300 messages and 2 that had about 650 each. I went into each thread and hit delete and when the "force close or wait" message popped up I hit "wait". Then it came up again about 5 minutes later so I hit "wait" again. I kept hitting "wait" each time and the thread eventually deleted. The ones with 650 took about 10 minutes of waiting to finally get deleted, the one with 1300 took about 20 mins but eventually they were all gone and now my phone is running much more smoothly. So just wait it out. Its annoying but worth it in the end.
