Hello,
I'm a noob to these forums and to any forums really but I've been lurking alot in the past 24 hours due to a malfunction on my T-Mobile G1 phone.

As of yesterday, I am receiving the exclamation point error and able to get into Recovery by pressing Alt-L from the keyboard. I have tried all 4 of the settings numerous times. I have also reformatted the sd card. This phone is not rooted. This morning I reviewed the early stages of what it meant to root and my phone isn't even capable of that due to the fact that any file that I place on the sdcard it will read but will do nothing with. I get error after error message.

Yesterday afternoon, I plugged my beautifully working G1 into it's normal charger. It was all downhill from this point on. The phone kept getting force close messages, one after the other. The bottom of the phone got really hot. Then it restarted and that was the end. It would loop the restart over and over. Now it doesn't even get that far. Just to the exclamation point and like I said, I am able to get into the Recovery so I hope I am not bricked, though the recovery at this point has been unresponsive and useless. Below I will state some the error codes and stats I am receiving.

Basics:
T-Mobile g1 (US)
NOT rooted

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

I reformatted the SD card to Fat32. Right now on the SD card I have placed the dreaimg.nbh, unzipped from DreaimgRC-29.zip for which I receive this error:

--Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted.


I have tried to include as much info as I can think of but if there's anything else you need to know, please tell me. Like I said, I did research the topics before posting. I love my G1 and hope this is not the end. If you can help me at all I would greatly appreciate it, thank you in advance.
