DEAR FRIEND, I WOULD ADVICE YOU TO CHANGE THE TOUCH SCREEN OF YOUR PHONE.

If it got wet it might still be wet from the inside and that is why your touch screen wont work, You would need to open it and clean it from inside. Or it could have a bad digitizer and that is a second reason why the touch screen wouldnt work. You can try doing a hard reset if you says it just shows a triangle on the screen.

Turn the G1 off. If it’s frozen on, take the battery out and put it back in the unit.Hold the Home and Power keys down at same time for about 25 seconds. You will see a yellow triangle screen with exclamation point in the middle
Now to wipe the device clean:
Press Alt+L. Press Alt+W for a factory reset.
Press the Home and Back keys again for about 25 seconds.
The device should then reset again and the hard reset is complete.

First try SOFT RESET

1) Turn Off the Phone
2) Remove Battery
3) Remove Sim Card
4) Put battery and sim card again
5) Turn On the phone
6) Press Menu
7) Factory Data Reset (Remember that: This action will reset the phone to its initial factory state, erasing all data and wonloaded applications, so BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP first you try this).
Press "reset phone"


IF STILL NOT WORKING TRY:HARD RESET
1) Turn off the Phone
2) Press HOME + POWER KEYS (keep them holding for about 25 secs)
until you see a screen with a phone and a triangle.

then

3) SLIDE YOUR KEYBOARD TO OPEN IT
4) press ALT + l ( TO SHOW YOU OPTIONS)
5) Press ALT + W ( TO FORMAT ALL DATA)

Note: When I write the sign + you don't have to press the + sign, it means that you need to press both keys @ the same time.

type in your google account info then it will unlock immediatly and have you put a new one in lol i did that b4 to

you probably need to do a hard reset, which will unfortunately, restore your phone to the factory defaults.

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. Just like new.
   

Try maybe doing the update yourself.

Read this, follow the instructions and you should be good to go:

Good luck

There is no way to bypass the touchscreen step of the setup process. I repair phones, including the T-Mobile G1. I can replace the screen for you if you would like for $60. Please email me at [email protected] for more information.

Had a similar problem on my HTC (same maker of the g1) touch diamond, the charge light/indicator would stay on even after i took the cable out.

It could be just lag. Try doing a soft reset, where ever the reset button is on the G1 (Inside the back case?) If that doesn't help do a hard reset which deletes all data/settings (other than your carriers settings, your phone will still work), you would have to look in your manual, as I dont have a G1.

I had a stubborn version of the dead touchscreen problem. Screen was dead this morning upon power-up and no combination of hard or soft resets made any difference. Removed screen protector (which had worked fine for a year) and cleaned out seam of screen too - still no change. Ten days past warranty expiration - figures!! Eventually I concluded there was nothing left to try but a ROM upgrade, even though I didn't expect that to help... IT DID!! I'm a Bell customer in Canada, so I downloaded the latest Bell ROM from here: http://www.htc.com/us/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=70&act=sd&cat=all and did the install. Lo and behold - touchscreen working like new!!! My original version was factory 1.<xxxx> and newest was 3.<xxxx>. Fix cost me a day of surfing, but better than $400!!
