N1 not booting up...LED flashing orange-green-green - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
i need some help trying to figure out what do i need to do to get my N1 to function again.
I had KiNgxKxNexus Desire2Nexus (v1) ROM loaded on my N1. i don't know for what reason i tried to load latest intersectRaven's Kernel(20100421_2237-the update.zip version)on top and that's when i start having issues. After i loaded the .zip file, phone rebooted and it was stuck/looping on the HTC screen for about 10 min.
I removed the battery and since then i cant get it to boot. all i get is a flashing LED (top right side)--looping on orange-green-green.
removed battery, SIM, SD card.
I plugin the wall charger(with no battery) and same issue.
when i put battery back in, i get the LED red, and if i try to power it on, i get same loop - orange-green-green.
tried to connect N1 to PC, and use adb, but PC its not seeing the phone.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Just go into recovery and wipe then flash your desired ROM.

You get a similar sequence, when you try to start the phone without the battery pack (with just the charger). I tried that to help someone in another thread, so just remember the phone won't start without its battery.
I don't remember the exact orange/green sequence in my case (and don't have the charger with me right now), but i guess that either your battery pack died coincidentally or that there is some other low-level hardware problem. The red light could also indicate an empty battery (that maybe broken and won't charge).
Can you borrow a battery from someone? I wouldn't try to use your battery in another phone to be safe though.

i cant go into bootloader or recovery. tried the power+trackball, power+vol down... no luck. - my PC doesn't see the phone to use adb.
when i turn the phone on, my screen its black...i don't get anything on the screen.

i got it to work.
over nite i left the battery out of the phone. this morning i put the battery in, plug in the wall charger, and turn the phone on (power+trackball) and i got to bootloader. from there i was able to go in recovery and fix my phone.

hey, thats great! please have a look at the battery from time to time, if the phone gets hotter than normal.

I have the same problem, but not because i flashed , but I put strange extra battery in , that didn't worked, And N1 was just flashing orange, green , orange, green, 1 sec interval ...
I put new one in and worked like a charm.
Don't buy from 4U-kidi. Dead battery!

Kaiser won't power up completely

I installed the Diamond Series L26 ROM and ran it fine for about 4 days. Then with no reason I can find windows started to respond badly and the screen didn't build up like it should.
I did a soft reset and after the phone came up. But after I entered my pincode the windows pretty quick gave a battery warning and went dead again. While I was pretty sure I had enough battery.
So at home I pluged it in (wall socket, original charger), the amber light went on. I booted it again and still no go. So I left it pluged in and waited a while it was 'charging'. But it still didn't react when I wanted to turn it on.
When I removed it from the charger and turned it on it booted again with the same result as the first time. I checked two text messages and the battery warning came again, and the phone turned itself off again.
After a couple of tries I tried a hard reset. No difference. Now my phone will boot until the message shows it is going to go back to factory settings, I hear a beep and it turns itself off.
I tried:
- Reinsert the battery (left it out overnight)
- Tried entirely different battery (fully charged)
- Plugged it in the original charger
- Plugged it in without the battery
- Took out SD card
- No SIM card inserted
- 'Powercharge' the battery with wires to the plus and minus contacts
- Rapidly pressing the battery against the contacts on the phone hoping to 'revive'something.
- Tried my battery in a different phone > it was fully charged.
Can it be the software thinking the battery is dead while it isn't?
...... help
Is a bump alowed the next day?
Anyway, is my problem that obscure...? Or is my post too long?
I don't want to know what T-mobile will ask for the repair without any waranty.

Nope. Just the L26 Kaiser Diamond ROM.
Sounds broken to me, try to send it back.

Yeah, but I know what happeneds next:
"We see you installed another ROM. Therefore voiding your warranty. That wil be EUR 300."
I am trying to avoid that scenario.
But perhaps I wasn't as techsavy as I thought. I read this in another post:
Steps before running the upgrade:
1. take out the battery to make the phone go off, unplug usb cord if you have it plugged to your pc.
2. put battery back in
3. Press and hold the camera button all the way in, then press the power button while still holding the camera button.
4. This will make your phone boot in to tri-color screen.
5. Now look at the bottom white area, when it says USB, connect your phone to your pc through usb cord.
6. Now you can just go ahead, open the rom you just downloaded and follow the steps.

That sounds like it is still an option for me as well. I was under the impression I wouldn't be able to reflash my phone because it wouldn't power up. I can try this, right?
hmm, maybe try that or flashing from the SD card. Either way go for broke, if you need to screw the phone up to the point that they can't tell what rom you have then go for it.

[HELP] Flashing gone wrong???

It looks like that i bricked it.
Here is what I have done.
I used Hard SPL Utility and got it to say 0.72.Olinex
After that I used TouchIT 4.5 to flash it. it went through but after going through calibration it now keeps rebooting. Sony Ericson screen comes on. disapears and reboots.
Please anyone help
hard reset didnt work either
flash it with other rom and see. boot to tri color screen and start your flashing, computer can recognise it
tried that I am getting update error 262
ok its official the phone is dead. it gave me 270 error then rebooted. and done. doesnt even want to power on.

I just want to tell you that flash hard-spl is something different then flash a rom...
Each one has his own software for flash...
So first is to hard-spl your xperia...
And then i recommend you to flash the rom phone via the microSD
Just rename the touch-it 4.5 to KOVSIM.nbh and put it to the root of the MicroSD..Then restart your phone with Volume down and power button together...And then follow on screen instructions
Note maybe you should try to read this thread, study a little and then flash.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=477801
Good luck....
well I have used the one inlucded in X1_HardSPL_Utility.zip from one of threats here.
then I used the Touch-IT_v4.5.rar
i even tried X1_RUU_ROM_UpdateUtility
dont know what I did wrong.
now it doesnt even power on.

Satrange i have like 10 times and no problem...
Just pull the battery out try it on again...
Maybe you should download and official rom...or original are the same
The ones ins PavelX1 thread...
And Flash with ones of them via MicroSd...
MicroSd method is much safe than rom update utility...Remember to have at least 50% battery....This is very important..
Dont worry you phone is not broken...
try flashing using SD card, search the forum for the method
edit : too late for the reply, hope you get it working.
Try booting to tri-color boot screen (decrease volume button + power on button)
thing is it doesnt power on now
removed battery, put it on power only nothing.

It won't boot without the battery no matter what you try.
Leave the phone on charge overnight then try flashing a new rom using the SD method.
Did you make sure you had a decent battery level (>50%) before you started flashing your rom??
it had 100% it flashed and I even calibrated the screen on reboot. but after that it started rebooting continuosly. I dont know if it juiced it out. well I will leave it on charge for some time to see if that helps.

Maybe try to recharged it?????
Mybe battery is empty
It may sound like a joke but charged the phone...?
Does it make something when you connected to the wall charger?
If so wait until it recharges about 4 hours and then try it again...
If it flashes then your xperia is not broken....
Some others users have this same issue with that rom...
So maybe try and official rom trust me flash it via microSD method always
Rename the official rom to KOVSIMG.nbh and the copy to the root of the microSD memory

yes, the LED above the USB connector on your mobile should be blinking.
if the battery went flat completely, it will take some time to start blinking.

It shouldt blink on sides or it shouldt turn red the power button ...
But sometimes you have to wait some minutes

Not sure... might dep the rom.
Normally my led's flash/glow... but I haven't had a look at it charging whilst the phone is off.
Charge it for half an hour or so and then try to get the boot loader up (hold power and volume down to turn on).
If the boot loader (striped screen) starts you should be able to fix a bad flash.
Turn the phone off and charge it overnight
get a rom you know (the .nbh or .image file) and rename it "Kovsimg.nbh"
put the Kovsimg.nbh file on the root directory of your storage card (you might want to take the card out of your phone and put it in a card reader to do this)
boot your phone in boot loader mode (hold power and volume down)
follow the prompts to install the good rom.
After its complete, reset your phone (either by putting your stylus in the reboot hole or taking the battery out)
All should be good
well 30 mins and no flashing lights, power button doesnt work. connecting to PC doesnt work. I am out of ideas.

Battery won't charge but is nearly full

I'm trying to get my Dream back to where it was just after rooting and flashing CM 4.2.8. I wiped my rooted Dream and flashed "signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip" then flashed "update-cm-4.2.8-signed.zip". That all went fine.
But a strange problem... The battery stays at 0% (The battery's voltage is 3.92v out of phone on DMM, a 3.7v nominal Li-Ion should be 4.2v when full) and if I unplug the USB cable it shuts down, the phone will also ONLY boot when connected to USB.
Also if I select reboot from the OS, it will switch off but not restart.
Do I have to discharge the battery out of the phone? (I have Li-Ion/Li-Po charger/discharger)
Or is there another way to get the phone to recognize the full battery?
Weird, my Battery Info (in spare parts) reports that the battery voltage is 2.465v whereas I've measured it at 3.92v...
EDIT: Battery Info reports 2.480v when battery fully charged at 4.2v and 2.465v when discharged to 3.0v???
Please can someone send me a copy of their batterystats.bin file, I want to see if changing it makes a difference, I've tried everything I can think of to get this right including 'rm'-ing the file and/or wiping immediately after/before unplugging, otherwise the phone shuts down within a few seconds.
It's 13KB, please send it to conanony[at]gmail[dot]com
I would like to help you, but i dont know how to get that file lol
pardus what recovery do you use for the phone?
if you use RA's recovery you can delete the battery info, i believe this may help your problem. also try cycling your battery
charge full to 100%
drain full to 0% where your phone wont turn on.
keep turning it on untill the G1 logo wont popup anymore
that's just my problem, the second I remove the charge/USB cable the phone shuts down, before that it never charges to full despite the battery actually being at 4.2v (shows charging(0%)) and can't drain it to 0% as it reports it's at 0% and immediately shuts down, so catch 22.
>djluis48: you can use Droid Explorer (http://de.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=37999) to get the file, it's in /data/system/
Tried to flash RA's recovery from fastboot and get this: writing recovery.... FAILED (remote: battery low)
managed to flash RA's recovery and wipe the battery stats with it, however it still had it's not charging problem, then I left it over night and it charged to 30% but after removing the battery to put the sim back in the battery went back to 0%.
(btw, Battery was fine before the flash)
I suspect that this problem is the cause of many "black screen" and "I think my phone is bricked" issues.
The phone sees a full battery as empty and therefore won't boot, one way to test is to try boot into recovery with power/usb connected. One symptom I have is very short red LED flashes when trying to boot without power/usb connected and when connected a continuous red LED, then when trying to boot with power/usb > longer red flashes before eventually booting.
Well seeing as I'm talking to myself I might as well carry on...
Have managed to get the phone to boot 3 times (over 3 days) showing the correct battery values including temperature BTW, which shows as 67.7°C (153.8°F!) continually (with battery at room temp.) however when removing the battery to replace the sim which was in an old phone it was back to square one
I can't seem to replicate the actions I did to get the normal values back, one occasion was after I pressed power, menu and send together which then flashed the fastboot screen very briefly and booted after that.
Very weird, wish someone with a working knowledge of the Android system would chime in here?

Wiped and tried original ROM - RUU_DREAM.exe, reports voltage below 30%, can't continue (I know the battery is full, I just charged it from empty and it took 1153mAh), I then tried wiping (everything) and flashed CM 4.2.12 from 4.2.8 - still the same. Voltage on phone reads 2.442v, DMM on battery reads 4.157v...!!
Wiped and flashed SuperD 1.5.1 ROM, still the same problem
Phoned local HTC agents, they say must bring it in but if it doesn't have the original ROM on it then it's out of warranty...
but I can't load the original ROM using RUU_dream.exe because it won't let you flash when the phone reads a full battery as flat...and despite searching high & low I can't find a Leaf (local distributer) DREAIMG.nbh file which may be similar to a rogers but I don't want to take the chance, anyway I can't find an original DREAIMG.nbh for a rodgers only a RUU_dream.exe.
So that's it, not a brick but unusable unless connected to power...
Tried DREADIAG.nbh (HTC's diagnostic program) from the sd card via hboot, no luck, reports battery too low but I know it's charged, seems my options are running out...
same problem
most interesting information in the second paragraph.
hey dude, im having exactly the same problem, but im in a bit of an odder situation still. i've been trying to get back to factory setting so that i could see if it works then.. (i've had mine so long its out of warranty anyway) i've never even gotten mine to say it has any battery since this problem started, i even went to the trouble of ordering a second battery from ebay to see if it works.. i mean i had two batteries to begin with one extended one regular. i thought maybe my extended battery went bad so i put the regular one in but still no luck, but i thought maybe it went bad from less than ideal sorage conditions, so i've got another one on the way. sucks to know its probably just wasted money.
Anyway, heres my situation. I was trying to get back to factory so i started by flashing the original recovery image (since i was coming from an inofficial one, it was no big deal) i know know i should have flashed the spl first.. because now the recovery wont let me flash anything unofficial, and i dont know that i have an offical update.zip from t-mobile. also i dont know if the hard spl somehow requires an unofficial rom to be flashed. anyway right now my recovery image wont let me flash anything it seems. i have the hard spl, official recovery image, and my rom is dream_devphone-userdebug 1.6 DRC83 14721 test keys.. i have no idea who even made that one.. i think haykuro or the dude???? (my humblest of appologies for not giving proper credit if this is someone else's work)
i think at this point my phone may just be a usb modem and nothing else. im also like a year away from an upgrade so im back to my old hp 6315 or mda.. but i've lent that to a friend.... i also have an old mpx 200 with some awesome firmware (also thanks to xda developers love you guys) or a super old sony-ericsson t86i... i really wish there was a way to put android on my hp 6315 but i think pigs have a better chance at flying than that coming to fruition. anyway if anybody else has this problem and figures it out, please let us know what to do.
My phone started to do this a few days ago, it's driving me nuts. I don't know what the heck is wrong with it.
One way to tell for sure if it is this problem, try the steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614987
I am in the same boat. It just came out of no where. I have flashed roms, changed sp,l wiped battery stats, and tried to change back to DREAIMG and like you guys said it says low voltage.
Has anyone had any luck at all with this?

[Solved] Bootloop (orig. firmware/no flash brick!) shows up only empty battery symbol

Heyho,
i got a very weird problem with my:
GT-I9000 Firmware 2.3.3
2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVI-CL210427
[email protected] #2
Buildnummer
GINGERBREAD.XWJVI
If i put in my battery OR my usb cable it doesnt even come to the boot screen with this white "Samsung Galaxy..." font. It only shows the symbol of an empty battery and seems to restart to show it again and again.
Recovery Mode is not possible, but Download Mode. If I use Odin in download Mode i can root the device...its already rootet, but the sideeffect is, if i click on "auto-restart" it does really start android sucessfull !!!!
If i use the normal shutdown i can't start it the normal way. If i use restart options i.e. from CRM or Titanium Backup or whatever...it restarts.
I really tried everything i found in these forum:
1.) i cleaned the hardware by letting it rest 7 hours in pure alcohol. After 3.) i used a teeth brush to clean the MicroUsbPort.
2.) i wiped all data and the cache using CRM and flashed my phone with CRM to CM9 nightly from today (very nice feel and look, but the problem still existed)
3.) i wiped all data again and flashed my phone with 3-part stock GB 2.3.3 (of course with the 512 pit + repartition before) using Odin3 1.85
i'm trying now the whole 48 hours, i don't know what to do now.
Haven't seen that problem in any forum (maybe to blind?) and am really desperate
a screenshot is attached
Does this show when phone is turned on?? ???
Because this battery icon should only appear when your phone is OFF.
Does the battery still charge even if the icon appear /disappear.
Have tried deleting battery stats from recovery(do it when battery is fully charged)
Do u use an app called "no moar power"

Without to press the power button, the phone starts to show up the battery screen. After a few seconds, black screen, then battery screen, and so on.

I had this problem a long time ago. I don't remember want i did to make it go away and it didn't bother me because it only happened when the phone was off and charging. Otherwise my phone was working perfectly when booted. But it did go away after a while. Try not to flash any rom for a week and see what happens.
Sorry i can't help u with this.
hm i hope so, what did you make in this time when your battery was empty? how did you boot?
My phone did charge. But when the phone was off. The battery icon was coming and going.
I thought that u could charge the phone.
But if u can not charge the phone that is bad.
then i think Samsung is your only choice.
Anyway i hope u will get it fixed, because its a lovely phone. I got 2 of them myself.
Best of luck
I am having a similar problem. as of last night the battery ran quite low and powered off. when plugged in the battery showed empty and kept resetting itself to empty battery screen. unplugged, it bootloops at devil kernel screen.

Sorry stupid q
Does the phone still get charged.

Holy sh1t ! Today i was wondering about Kies now recognizing my phone again. So i shutdown my I9000 and could start it the normal way! The problem fixed itself.
You were absolutely right about the just-wait-and-see-what-happens-tactic.
Made my day! Saved 100 bucks for a new I9000 mainboard.

[Resolved]Bricked phone or battery problems?

Hello, I'll start with writing all the things i did:
I flashed JenaMIUI v1.29 succesfully then i waited about 30 minutes at the boot image, then I got the battery out, tried again another 10 minutes stuck at the boot image. After that I reflashed JenaMIUI v1.29 wiped data etc...same thing, stuck at boot image, I got the battery out and back in, one time just after turning on the phone ( before the boot image appear). Then I could'nt start the phone in recovery or normal or download mode. After some tries and leaving the phone for a few minutes i managed to start it normally( but still stuck at boot image) , so I wasn't able to get to recovery, one time I managed to power it up with the charger on, it showed a circle 1/4 full and then went to boot image. Now I'm not able to power up the phone at all, I tried getting the battery out and back in several times. When I connect the charger to the phone with no battery in it, it shows a black screen for a second then nothing. I am not able to start it in recovery or any other way. Is this a battery problem or sth like the mother board ? The bin counter is set to 0 (using triange away), can I take it to service ?
One more thing, when i managed to start it normally and was stuck at boot image i pressed all keys(vol up,down,home,power) and went into a black screen saying something with ARM ..idk.
Is this a battery problem or a brick ? What can I do ?
EDIT: I think the problem was caused by pulling out the battery right after powering on the phone, solution...disconnect battery from phone leave it for 10 minutes, hold power button for 30seconds then turn on the phone in download mode and flash stock...that worked for me
Are you stuck on Miui bootanimation?
Now i can't get it to turn on...i tried replacing the battery , but when i press power nothing happens
Edit: I'm pretty sure is battery problems because I pulled out and put in the battery very fast ...
no, never pull out battery while the device is on splash screen. Wait till boot animation at least. In that moment the kernel is being loaded. This is also causing the recovery bug. People get boot-loop and reset their phone by pulling out the battery. It's actually true, it's the same as if you turn off your PC by unplugging it from power cord.
So if the kernel has some problems because i pulled the battery out while it was loading...can I take it to service ? Can they see what ROM I have installed regardless of my 0 bin counter ? Will they give me a new phone or sth ? Will a lie like...I tried to change the grey case with the orange case and the battery fell out while I reseted the phone work ?
EDIT: I managed to "repair" my phone ! I used a method I found on the internet. I hold the power button for 30 seconds ( while the battery was disconnected) and then put the battery in and I managed to get it in download mode and flash stock rom, now everything works great)
Sorry for the inconvenience, i wrongly packed the rom
