Not able to boot up - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The phone is unlocked and is working fine but out of the sudden it is hung at boot up screen.
Now i cannot even access the RA-nexus recovery gui. It will hang at the screen with the 'X' logo.
I tried to re-flash the recovery but got the below error when i try to do a fastboot.
"
D:\Downloads\Nexus One\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot devices
123456789012 fastboot
D:\Downloads\Nexus One\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot flash recovery recover
y-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.img
sending 'recovery' (3948 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
D:\Downloads\Nexus One\android-sdk-windows\tools>
"
Another weird output when i ran the 'fastboot-windows.exe devices -s'
"
C:\1>fastboot-windows.exe devices -s
123456789012 fastboot
"
Seems like i need a GoldCards for Nexus One but i don't know how to make it since my only Nexus One is not accessible now.
Any help on this??

Just try this. I know with the mt3g it worked a few time. Try to erase the recovery partition (IE: fastboot erase recovery). This will erase the recovery image. THEN immediately after reflash the recovery (IE: fastboot flash recovery <PATH TO Amon_RA1.0.7>)....Report back your findings
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR FURTHER PROBLEMS!!!! YOU UN-LOCKED AND ARE PERFORMING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

Hi,

When my recovery went bonkers, I used a stock recovery image to fix the issue.

Give that a try and see if things aren't more normal.

I guess it somehow lost its root access and now my nexus one is useless until i can get hold of a goldcards.

You can pull out the recovery from the stock passion image... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642811
If you can't flash the stock recovery as well, try a complete restore to stock... rename the zstock passion image zip to PASSIMG.zip, copy to the SD card,, boot into bootloader and when it asks, apply the update...
One more thing, you could try Koush's Clockwork recovery image from http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html (direct link http://koush.romraid.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-passion.img)

Try getting a warranty/RMA for your device. There is something larger going on here than the fact the phone is unlocked...you should be able to flash recovery even if that partition is hosed.
actually, does anyone know a means to format just the partition recovery resides?
Oh wait..you said it won't power on...
Give HTC a ring; it may be your only recourse unless you can get your phone back on.

yup. Since i cannot even power it on, HTC is my only option.
Thanks all for all the guides.

[Q] Can't Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery

I have a Streak 7 (unlocked WiFi + 3G/4G) with Stock Honeycomb. I previously Rooted it and had CWM Recovery installed (not sure which version, but I think it was 5.something). Somehow, I seem to have reverted to the stock recovery. I don't know how this happened, but I noticed it first when I tried to make a backup last week. I have tried several times to flash CWM recovery (both versions 5.0.2.7 and 5.0.2.8) but I keep getting the stock recovery when I boot to recovery. Otherwise, everything seems to operate normally.
I use fastboot to flash recovery and get the following:
C:\Android ADB Streak\Streak\Win32>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (4402 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.507s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 1.355s]
finished. total time: 1.863s
On the Streak screen, I see:
Starting Fastboot USB Download Protocol
Flashing StorMgr partition recovery
Read after write partition recovery
then I reboot the Streak:
C:\Android ADB Streak\Streak\Win32>fastboot reboot
rebooting...
finished. total time: 0.002s
But when I boot into recovery, I get the stock recovery. Am I doing something wrong?

You press/hold +Vol button, press/hold the power button till the menu comes up. You then select option #2 and press the power button. That will take into CWM.
Thanks. I feel like a clone:cyclops:; I forgot about selecting option 2. Although it would be helpful if each Android device didn't have a different way of getting to Recovery.
Thank you very much .... But when I select option 2 "install update .... " my device freeeze on boot !!!!!!!!!!
Can you give me a solution please .. thanks

There are a few different CWM versions, so it's possible that you used a version not compatiable with your ROM.
The same was happening to my streak but i installed version 3.0.x.x and it worked with that one

[Q] HBoot only, no RUU available -- recoverable?

Attempted my first root and ROM flash.
Followed HTC Holiday Superguide instructions (I did skip the S-OFF bit) then tried to flash CyanogenMod 10 using these instructions. Got stuck on the CyanogenMod flash screen. Don't quite remember what I did in my panicked attempts to recover. I did relock the bootloader at some point.
Now the phone continually boots to HBoot.
Can't find the RUU I need anywhere (Telstra 3.44.841.3).
Should I return to Apple in shame having found myself not man enough for rooted Androids? Or can someone help me regain some self-respect?

Okay so you no longer have a custom recovery installed ? Is your HBOOT still locked ? If it is still locked unlock it and Flash TWRP or WCX recovery and see if you can boot into recovery.

It is still locked, but can I flash TWRP or WCX without having access to the phone's internal SD card through Windows? I don't know how to get them on there without that (when I connect the phone to my PC, I don't get the option anymore).

No SDCARD ?
Either way you can have the recovery saved to some place on your PC and flash it to the phone. In HBOOT you should select fastboot USB and this will allow you to send fastboot commands to the phone. EX fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to flash a recovery.

Your set.. you should be able to flash your rom of choice and fastboot flash boot boot.im (I'm assuming your not S-OFF) and then the phone will boot up like it should. The boot.img file will be located in the ROM zip but you may have to push modules around to get wifi to work depending on the ROM.

[Q] Stock Recovery Partition Missing?

Just curious, does anyone have a dump of the recovery partition for the Dev Edition? It looks like from a bit of reading is that the recovery partition doesn't seem to be present.
I am unable to use recovery mode properly since it saids invalid operation when I do apply from SD, storage or cache, followed by the phone automatically restarting.
Has anyone else noticed this? I wonder if the unlocked 32 GB versions is unaffected.
try to reflash the recovery, the partitions should be the same as the original One
I tried to do that by using the RUU and using the zip, but it did not bring it back.
Is there a way to get the recovery image itself? I tried to extract the zip but it looked like it's encrypted as I cannot do so.
Looks like one mike1986 mentioned it's missing as well.
mike1986. said:
1. Well, I decided not to mention some things to avoid confusion. At the moment unlocking bootloader removes content of /data/preload partition, so indeed, installing OTA will fail. But I truly hope that HTC will fix it at some point and unlocking bootloader won't cause some stock apps to be missing.
2. Which procedure?

Hmm, I'm beginning to wonder if the stock recovery is suppose to work like that, where if I try to apply storage, sd card, or cache it saids invalid operation and reboot. The reason is, a new HTC One S my relative got she her phone is being replaced for free under warranty... I go to the recovery and do those certain the apply stuff, it also saids invalid operation out and restarts!
I find this a bit interesting on my HTC One when I go to the recovery and wondering the failed mount SD card messages is normal.

Yup. From reading around it seems like there's a script in /system that flashes the stock recovery upon booting up. I tried to get the PwnMyMoto apk onto my device to get root and remove the recovery script file but now I'm getting an unexpected exception when trying to install the apk through adb. I have both USB debugging and Unknown Sources allowed. Any ideas?
Edit:
By the way I am T-Mobile, post OTA. If that changes anything.

This might be a long way to do it but can't you downgrade back to 4.2.2 then get root with that then follow the instructions found in the general section for maintaining root through taking the ota? This should fix your problem. Also the instructions there might give you a different idea of how to work around this issue. You might just be able to flash the boot image and install the hidden su yourself.

One more clarification: After you flash recovery, you are using the volume down key to highlight recovery and then you are using the up arrow to select it correct? You do not press the power button to make the selection as on nexus devices.

PS you had recovery the first time you hit the up volume and it sent you to a screen that said "no command" from that screen if you press the up volume and power button together it sends you to the recovery screen. It may be down volume and power together to get passed that "no command" screen but its one of the two. I saw people having that same problem in the forum about maintaining root through the OTA.

Probably your battery isnt charged enough to proceed with operation.
Check your battery and make sure it is charged at least 50% and try again.

Will charge up a bit over 50% and see. I still get permission denied. Plus when I try to get into recovery, I can't. The Motorola log shows up for a while, then restarts and boots normally into Android.

[Q] TWRP Tries to load but fails

Hi, I have an htc one m7 verizon. I am currently running nusense 7.8. I wanted to update to v8.0. Anyway I go to recovery from the menu and the screen goes black like it is going to the team win logo but it goes back to the white screen that says entering recovery. It stays on that screen until I power plus volume down. I am confused because twrp loaded fine. I have tried cwm as well. no recovery software will load. The phone boots to nusense 7.8 fine. Anyone know what would cause recovery software not to load?
Try flashing the latest version of TWRP through Fastboot to see if the issue resolves. Make sure you use TWRP for the Verizon M7.

Thanks for throwing up the link clsA. I was about to do that a minute ago when my phone died. Lol.
I will give twrp 2.8.0.1 a try. I have tried several versions but not that one.

I tried the above and I am still getting stuck with the white screen green htc logo and entering recovery at the top. I am happy with nusense 7.8 except for youtube not working. I do have some backups that are useless when twrp will not load. Maybe it is time to ruu this phone.
I installed the ruu VZW.M7.5.28.605.2.PN0731IMG.zip. It installed ok. I am still s off and rooted. I used flashify to flash twrp 2.8.0.1. My phone still will not load a recovery app.......I wonder if this is a hardware issue?
Anybody have any ideas? everything on my phone works accept the ability to load the recovery software. Like I said I was able to install an RUU file with fastboot. I would really like to get twrp working so I can backup and restore again.
I think I found my issue. I am pretty sure my recovery partition is hosed. The command fastboot format recovery fails. I get this message:
Formatting is not supported for filesystem with type 'raw.
Anybody know how to rebuild a corrupted recovery partition?

recovery partition is a raw partition, the only EXT4 partitions are /system, /cache, and /data
can you copy/paste your command prompt output as you do the fastboot commands that clsA gave you.

I have tried flashify, and also an ruu version of twrp. still no go.
Have you tried turning s on, relocking bootloader, running RUU, doing factory reset in Stock recovery and then unlocking and installing TWRP? It is worth a shot I assure you. I had problems with TWRP about a month back and this solved it for me.
