The best solution is to hard reset, follow the instructions bellow
1. Turn the G1 off. If it's frozen on, take the battery out and put it back in the unit.
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.
Now to wipe the device clean:
3. Press Alt+L.
4. Press Alt+W for a factory reset.
5. Press the Home and Back keys again for about 25 seconds.
The device should then reset again and the hard reset is complete.
This was the EXACT solution to the EXACT problem! 'destom' has just proven the value of the internet as the ideal community service. This phone was brought to TMobile, Verizon, SimpeMobile, and Metro, and all of them said the same thing: your phone is dead, look at these new phones. ALL of them. Even a reputed phone hacker gave up on it. One simple online lookup and 5 minutes later, it's running as if new. Thanks.
