My g1 wont turn on and it has a blue liget on it

Try hard resetting it once. But make sure you have enough charge. But this will erase everything.

To perform a Hard Reset

1. Turn the phone off. If it is frozen, take the battery out and put it back in.
2. 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.
3. Press Alt+L.
4. Press Alt+W for a factory reset.
5. Press the Home and Back keys again for about 25 seconds.

Is the battery charged? Is the charging LED showing up as normal when you connect the charger? Try charging the battery for a few hours and then try to reset the device?

so..i had jst got a warrantee on my g1...and recieved it today..but it will not turn on..could u help?

I solved this problem by booting into SAFE MODE on the G1:
Press Menu Button and Switch on the G1 Phone using Power button. (Do not release menu Key).
That Got it to turn on. but upon power down it did the same thing with blue light. So I always start in SAFE MODE. I will start uninstalling programs until i find out which one is causing problem.

Sounds to me like your G1 isn't set to discoverable. Should be an option for it in the bluetooth section. Then go ahead and try to pair them, also make sure your bluetooth is in pairing mode, most bluetooth headsets get be set to this by holding down the on button for over 5 seconds and usually shows as a constant blue light.

hey the same thing has happened to me as well for both my g1 and g2 it is really ridiculous. Have you figured out how to fix it or get somone to fix it?

your phone booted up into the g1 bootloader screen, if you want to be able to use the phone again you will have to probably push the rc29 recovery.img then manually upgrade back to whatever rom you are on

P.S you will lose your pictures but you wont lose your contacts because once you sign in to gmail on the phone it automatically retrieves the contacts that were on the phone

P.P.S you will lose root capability if you had it

when i turn my phone on it wont go to the android area. instead it shows a picture of my phone with a exclamation inside a triangle... ive tried to reset it and it wont go past this.

ok i had this isssue and figure out what to do. this is all afterm you know that you have a good charger and or battery.

1. completely turn of phone unplug charger.
2. take and put battery back in phone and plug charger.
3. hold hit camera button and power buton. phone will come on if the update was washed it will come straight on. if not you will see the blue LED dont worry yet. just keep holding for 15 sec.
4. while phone blue LED is still on hit and hold (drum Role) menu and track ball for 15 sec.
5. now unplug charger and take out battery. wait 10 sec
6. now put battery back in and leave charger off. and turn on. unless you was in middle of update and hardware failed this WILL bring your G1 back up and running.



hope this helps everyone . MIll$tronics signing out.

well plug the charger into the phone with the battery still intact.....then remove the battery while the phone is still plugged in. then unplug the charger and plug it back in........place battery back into phone and then power it up. That worked for me.
