Help! - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone please help me? I just recently tried to flash FRF83 from FRF72 and found myself not able to get back to recovery! All I wanted was to get the official froyo update. Oh and i was coming from CM 5.0.8 then Flashed FRF50 and so on to get to the lastest version. Did I lose Root access? Is this something to worry about? Any help would be much appreciative.

Are you saying that you can't get to recovery by holding the power and volume down buttons?

Are you sure you lost recovery access?
- boot into bootloader (fastboot mode)
- fastboot erase recovery
- fastboot flash recovery YOU_CUSTOM_ONE.img
- reboot into recovery
See if its work.
btw... nice job posting "Help!" in the dev forums, in the middle of ROMs...

How are you trying to get to recovery? If you're using adb, do adb shell reboot recovery.
Or try powering off, then holding home and hitting the power button. I've had mixed success in getting to a recovery menu with quickboot and other menu based recovery boots.

Um. How are you flashing your recovery images?
I might try nandroiding back to a previous ROM then doing a flash_image recovery 'yourrecoveryimgname' and see if that helps.
You might also check the darchdroid thread and see if there's anything in there. I don't use it so I'm not sure, but I seem to remember others having issues with certain recovery images.
why don't u just flash back to godspeed recovery for the time being, until i can get my 1.7 recovery sorted out for everybody's use

Hey im going to be on for a while i can step you through this. Just pm me and we can find a easier way to talk a.k.a., Irc chat server, face book chat dont matter to me
hell or just call me
If it doesn't work, tell us too what errors you are getting so that maybe we can help.
I had the same problem recently where I had adb shell and root access, phone worked fine, all except for no recovery console and I could not flash ANYTHING to the phone. So if you have the same errors, I might be able to offer assistance.
Happy Trails!
Here is a simple fix. I had this problem my self, after I flashed something I shouldn't have
Go download the rooted test 2.1 RUU by damage. (use search to find it)
MAKE SURE YOUR BATTERY HAS AT LEAST HALF A CHARGE.
Run the RUU and follow the instructions.
Your recovery partition is probably f***ed. This is an EASY way to fix it.
Once the RUU finishes. Re-flash the recovery img of your choice using ADB + Fastboot. (search for guide)

you use CWM or IO's stock recovery on your 10.1v to flash.
you cannot flash this through 10.1v's stock recovery.

Doesn't go into recovery

I followed the video tutorial and when I flash recovery, then proceed to boot into recovery it fails to boot into recovery, it just flashes then boots like normal when I perm root. I don't know what's going on. I tried the clear cache command with no response.
I have searched and didn't find anything.
Anyone able to help please?
It is most likely you did something wrong when you flashed the recovery img, just follow the tuto again and make sure to follow each step.
Here is a guide made by mike: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618
I have done that. Tried a few times. I am fairly "in the know" with rooting ect, but I just can't figure this out.

Did you reboot after flashing the recovery or did you just go straight into it? I had the same problem and what fixed it is rebooting after flashing the recovery 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'.

When I press perm root, it just reboots normal like recovery doesn't even exist.
Have you tried flashing stock recovery and trying to boot in it? I know that doesn't fix anything, I am just curious if your device will actually boot into any recovery state at all. I have read on XDA about some devices not being able to boot into recovery for some reason.
Here's the stock recovery, just in case: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38504123
Okay give me a shot at that.
I noticed after flashing recovery, mine doesn't tampered like it should?
The stock recovery says it's not available anymore.
If it doesn't say TAMPERED then the recovery must have not been flashed to begin with and that is why it's not booting into it. Which recovery are you trying to install? I use TWRP 2.5.0 and I flashed it with fastboot then restarted and it booted fine. My device is S-ON, by the way, and running Trickdroid 7.5.
US Developer Edition Recovery: http://d-h.st/b5g
T-Mobile Recovery: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hvs38223dfrzsny/recovery_tmobile.img
I am not sure if either one will work with your device since I am guessing it's international? But they might be worth a shot.
Never mind, I found the stock international recovery for you: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22045273/htc1-stock-recovery.img it was on page 4 of the thread. Give it a go.
I flashed the stock recovery and it still boots like there is no recovery there. and it doesn't say "tampered"
This is crap
EDIT: Yeah I figured it's not being flashed since it's not tampered, but no matter what I try it won't flash.
I'm navigating to the folder: CD C:\One_All-In-One_Kit_v\Data\Recoveries then typing fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and it doesn't work.
It says it's flashed ect, but doesn't boot into it, nore show tampered.
This is very weird and unfortunately I do not know the solution to that. I do not use the All-In-One-Kit, actually, but just a mini-SDK with fastboot files inside. I use shift + right click and "open command prompt window here" rather than navigate to the location, it's just much easier that way. Can you try flashing the latest TWRP recovery?

I just downloaded TWRP and flashed it ( fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ) it said all the jabber, like it worked, rebooted and still no "tampered" just reboots like nothing ever happen.
I give up.
Would ADB be any better?
Ugh man that's horrible. I honestly do feel your frustration because I have faced similar situations with my HTC devices (One X and One) countless times, and it sucks because you know the correct steps yet it's not working. I sure hope someone knowledgeable about this can come in and help you. Best of luck.
EDIT: I have only used ADB to sideload a ROM but I don't know about flashing recoveries. If you know how to do it, then why not? It's worth a shot for sure.
EDIT #2: And if you're not familiar with ADB, this article should get you started: http://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android-debug-bridge-utility/
Make sure you follow all the steps to the word and also install HTC Sync Manager for the proper drivers to be loaded.
I know right, driving me nuts.
I've never done adb to flash a recovery before but don't know if I would want to be the pidgeon to try lol

I am quite up there with adb, but not with flashing recovery with a HTC device lol.
There seems to be another method for flashing recoveries besides fastboot.
http://androidforums.com/cdma-evo-3...lash-recovery-image-via-fastboot-sd-card.html
This is an HTC Evo section but it could work for the One as well, although I am not sure of it. I have done some Googling and I did not come across any articles/threads saying that it is possible to flash a recovery using ADB, so that might not be possible.

I've mine unlocked with "fastboot oem unlock", but I'm not able to root the phone. In fact, I think I've lost my stock recovery, I didn't check it before unlock, so I'm not even sure if the recovery had been missing before the phone was unlocked. When I try to boot into recovery now, all I get is an android robot on its belly with a red warning triangle on it. I also can't boot/flash custom recovery either, adb seems the phone just fine, but it tries to push the recovery, the phone just freeze up.
Someone else on android central forum also has his stock recovery missing right out of the box, getting the same belly-up robot as mine, very strange.

I don't want to permanently flash a custom recovery like CWM, only want to sideload it to flash SuperSU and gain root. The command I use is "fastboot boot recovery.img" where recovery.img being the name of CWM. Don't know why it's not working though.

Yes, that's the stock recovery. You then have to press power + volume up (in the case of the Nexus 4, for example). You have to manually flash CWM as you would for the normal One
e.g. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You apparently can no longer 'boot' into CWM - you have to flash it

you said that you restored the factory img, the recovery is in there. youd install it if you flashed the factory img properly. and besides, you didnt do much research. the factory img for fi and android 5.1.1 is LMY47Z. i know it says sprint only, so ignore that. but its also for verizon and fi.
I need LMY47H
I have the right image - just need the recovery. If I flash the recovery from LMY47Z, will my build still be LMY47H?
