Have you flashed the SPL?? If so some of the SPLs actually wipe out the phone so it's left "romless" Use an SD card reader to put a ROM on the then flash again....
But after reading your post again it seems like you cant get to recovery. If that's the case then the only thing that we can do is use fastboot to get the recovery img back. When you get to your SPL is it the Rainbow screen or is it androids skateboarding? If it's the Rainbow screen you may have hit a massive roadblock. If it's the skateboarding you're in luck. Now you do have to have ADB/Fastboot configured on your PC (Click Here to find out how)put a recovery image (named recovery.img) in the C:\[whatever you extracted the ADB stuff to]\tools and then using Command Prompt:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
What this does is erase your current recovery and then reloads your new recovery. If you continue to have issues you could always go back to stock, reroot and see if you're running into the same problems. (This part I think is easier)
My nexus one is stuck in a bootloop, the power button is broken and it has a locker bootloader, so i cant flash a update.zip or a custom rom, can't flash or access the amon ra recovery (amon ra was already installed, so i tried to install again and it didnt worked) or even it's original recovery.img.
The only thing i think i can do is to flash a nandroid backup with fastboot, but i don't have one. Can anyone send me one for me to try to fix it?
I dont live in the USA, so there is no way i can send it to HTC to fix it
I think you're a little confused. The reason the recovery didn't flash via fastboot is because your bootloader is locked, it's also the reason why attempting to flash nandroid .img files will also not work. You can either unlock the bootloader or use the PASSIMG method to get into a working system, at which point you can adb reboot recovery to restore your nandroid. There are other ways but I find this to be the quickest and simplest.
Can't do either of those things without a power button.
If you have Amon Ra's recovery installed then you can use ADB to boot into it (adb reboot recovery), or install Quickboot from the Market, and do what you need to.

First thing is to power up your n1 w/o touching the power button.
Here is how:-
The trick is to connect the phone via USB to a power source (a charger or computer) and then to remove and insert the battery successively, after a while (5-10 insertions) the device will get confuse and will start.
Once u power up, proceed to your recovery and do whatever u need to do to recover your bootloop.

I don't know what is this PASSIMG method, can you send me a link?

I already knew how to power it up, the problem is that to access the recovery mod i would need a power button, and my nexus' power button is broken

Sure, here you go. Once completed you can either pull your battery or fastboot reboot to get into the stock ROM. From there, I'm sure you know what to do

Just one more question, will i need the power button for this PASSIMG method? because mine is broken, that's why i can't unlock my bootloader neither. on the bootloader unlock method it says that i need to press the power button to confirm the procedure.
I think with the PASSIMG method you don't need the power button.

PASSIMG method didn't worked. It says:
Hold down the Volume Down button as you power your phone back on.
A screen should appear showing your phone’s system searching for various files. This will take up to 2 minute
When i power on the phone and press volume down, it just boots at fastboot, nothing else happens =\
Vol- should take you to HBOOT? To get to Fastboot you'd have to hold the trackball.

yeah, u're right
I already tried trackball vol up, vol down, nothing happened
Well that's good then. When you get into HBOOT you should see text flash up on the screen that it's checking for the passimg, then it should as you to use a volume button to say yes/no
If you're getting to hboot and nothing is happening, it's probably an error with your file:
Check the file name.
Check that it isn't a zip within a zip.
Make sure you used a shipped image.
Check the md5.
Try with FRG33, I've used it in the past and its worked fine. Also as danger-rat said, make sure it isn't named PASSIMG.zip.zip as Windows usually hides file extensions.

thx, it worked.
But now i can't flash any custom roms, because when i do that it goes into bootloop again and i have to do the PASSIMG method all over again. Can someone help me with that?
Have you rooted?

Yes.
I figured out what was the problem. When i partition my sd card and install a Custom Rom it goes into the bootloop. But when i just install a custom rom it works fine. Never heard of this bug before. How can i fix it?
How are you partitioning?

Well, i tryed using clockwork with a 1024mb EXT, 512mb ad a 5120mb with 32mb of swap. All of them caused the bootloop.
Try no swap.
Also, I would recommend not using CWM 3.x (if u r?)
Ok, recently I rooted a g1 version 1.6 ( Donut), I downloaded Rom Manager. I downloaded their recovery so I can boot up in recovery mode and do a factory reset. But I couldn't do to the fact that when I pressed the back + power bottom it didn't boot up in recovery mode, I tried also pressing the down volume + power didn't work neither, tried up volume + power didn't worked neither, all of the 3 tries fails. the back + power sends me to the bootloader mode. and the others don't work.
So tried to download a custom ROM, while that happened I forgot about it and decided to change the sim card to another carrier, I did not know if the download was finish or not. But when I changed my sim card and tried to turn it on the the phone started to loop in the G1 LOGO, i know its not brick, but some how I cant do a factory reset.
Because I was not able to start the g1 in recovery mode, I wasn't able to factory reset. So what is left to do? Can someone guide me, Please.

Thats all my G1 shows in the bootloader. Can you actually update the radio, or bootloader, to a more updated version, or to a old version so that way it might lose the root, or so that it can return to a state where u can access the recovery mode.
You said you can access bootloader. Then using fastboot push recovery. For best results erase the sd card before putting recovery file in sd root. In fastboot do an "erase system r-w" and then push recovery. Hopefully it will work.
If you dont know what fastboot is or how to use it, you should thoroughly search and study fastboot guides for G1 in XDA.

ok for g1 t's
Home+Power=Recovery
Back=Power=Fastboot/Bootloader
Camera+Power=Hboot/Bootloader
what happened exactly when you prssed Home+Power? did you get a yellow triagngle and this thing ! ?
if you did that means you have stock recovery, you need to hold 'alt' and press 'L' on the keyboard to access recovery options..
so try that and tell me if you get anything to happen.?

no, i did not receive that, i cant access recovery mode by pressing back+ power.
@ dhacker809 - Reading your OP, one thing that you should not have done (happens to me when I first started) was trying to use ROM Manager. It will lock you out of Recovery mode. Amon RA is the best recovery option from my experience.
If Camera+Power option works, I would suggest that you re-flashed nbh file and start from there.
BTW back+power will not give you recovery mode.
You Are The Best

That Worked for me, Thank You So Much.
You are welcome, I am assuming that everything works well.
I have a rooted and unlocked bootloader nexus one. I previously had cm7 on it but decided to flash an ics rom without having the blackrose hboot. I need help to get into recovery as I can get to the point where to select recovery I need the power button. Is there another way of getting into recovery thru fastboot or something?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
try
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Adb reboot recovery. Adb should work within 10 seconds of booting. I had a problem once that wouldn't even get past the X to the boot animation.
You can also install blackrose which enables you to press the trackball instead of the power button.
I think you need to be able to boot normally to install blackrose.
But if you have a broken power button, get blackrose and 4ext touch recovery on your phone as soon as you can boot normally.
If you're not getting far enough into the boot for ADB to work and can't do the fastboot stuff because you never unlocked the bootloader (and don't want to), you can toss a passimg on your sd card to go back to stock. Then you can reroot.
I can't get into adb, but my bootloader is unlocked. Is there any way of getting into recovery without having to reroot.
Take a look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Nexus_One/Recovery_Images
Thanks for the link, it somewhat helped but I was able to get it to work with lots of flashing via fast boot and whatnot
I had the same problem. I flashed back to stock. Flashed the userdata, system image, recovery image, boot image, and radio.

I think I have a unique problem here. I tried to install the Holo Blur Rom using bootstrap. After I flashed it my bootup is looping and all attempts to get into Recovery mode are fail.
When I do the Power+Vol+ I get a screen with Android on it's back and the ! but nothing ever happens. I have also tried getting into the Bootstrap menu but that doesnt work either, it goes into boot up.
Do you think there is a way to save my phone still?
- Bootloader is unlocked
- Rooted
##EDIT##
I figured it out, I did not know you had to press Pwr+ Vol+ Vol- all at once. I thought it was just Pwr+ Vol+ only. Thanks!

With an unlocked bootloader, you should use CWM or Touch Recovery, nothing else as these custom roms need one or the other to install.
