I had RC2 working fine for a couple days, but when I woke up this morning I was in a boot loop.  I am trying to "Power-HOME" to reflash the image but it just hangs on the G1 screen.  Camera-Power works but I don't know what to do from there.  Is there a way I can get to the image on my SD card so I can reflash without "Home-Power" or can I fix it?

Strange. Same happened today to me. G1 sucked on TMO G1 logo. But with HOME POWER ON I do get into recovery. Will reflash later.

Any ideas?

Wipe the Dalvik cache.

To diagnose, hook up to your pc with adb and get in to look aroun

$adb shell stop
$adb shell

or use ddms

problem is probably in /data/data


su
find /data/data > /sdcard/filesondata.txt
unix2dos /sdcard/filesondata.txt


have a good look at filesondata.txt, you will probable see some strange files

nightly 0728 seems to not be affected by this 'junk' file glitch

Same thing here.
Wiping dalvik cache didn't help.
Can not access the console on RA_sapphire_1.7.0G . Really? Will try to hook the phone to a computer when I get the time
Feel free to post the glorious ultimate fix below.

Hello all!  Thanks to some help on the ShoutBox from Yasuya, I was able to get back to a recovery mode.  Here is what I had to do to regain access to recovery:

1. Download and install the SDK from http://developer.and...sdk/index.html.

2. Download a recovery program image.  I used the one at the following link: http://forum.xda-dev...751&postcount=1
***THIS LINK IS FOR G1/DREAM -- make sure you download the right file for the right phone***

3. Either set an environment variable to the TOOLS directory of the SDK install, or browse there in the command line.

4. Move the recovery image to the tools directory (or somewhere that fastboot can see it if you used an environment variable.)

5. Boot your phone into FASTBOOT mode by powering on pressing the power and camera key simultaneously.

6. Connect your phone to your PC via USB (the FASTBOOT notification will become FASTBOOT USB)

7. Execute the following fastboot command: (if using the image file from the link above)

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img

8. Reboot the phone; hold down power and home to enter recovery mode.

Once in recovery mode, you can wipe and reflash the image, restore from NAND, whatever.

Writing this quickly at 4:00 AM so I hope I didn't mess anything up.  Please reply if I missed anything...
