I recently bought this Nexus off eBay and it worked fine.
Owner said it had problems with the SD card, but it seemed to be working, for they said it wouldnt read, when it does.
Anyway, it had cyanogen mod 6.1.1 on it, and I hate the setup...so i changed roms. That was a success, but when i flashed a sense rom thru clockwork(most updated) it said:
E:Error in /sdcard/N1Sensation_v0.4.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.
Now, when i flash any roms, whether it says it installed correctly, it doesnt change anything. Now it's stuck at the 4 color x with the unlock icon. Any advice is good advice!
In my hboot, it says:
*** UNLOCKED ***
NEXUSONE PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.35.0017
MICROP-0b15
TOUCH PANAL-SYNT0103
RADIO-5.00.00.04
Oct 12 2010, 14:33:16
HBOOT
Etc. Etc. Etc.
Thanks for any help!
Edit: I fixed the issue with why it failed, was my fault, didnt partition the card...but i was flashing a stock rom and it said complete and when i rebooted it stayed at the X and then powered off. Since then has never turned on. I don't know what to do. Nothing will turn it back on. I have a universal charger that charges the battery and it said the battery is full. I need help!
Ok lets see here try this plug in the charger then pull the battery place it back in wait a few seconds and repeat until you see the splash screen (the static X). This could get the phone to at least boot.
But just to check did you flash a radio in all that stuff??

After then i got stuck on the X
Then i used... well i cant find the link, but it's PureGoogleMod.
From what I saw, there was no radio or kernal being flashed. I just know i flashed a rom, it said completed, then went to the X, rebooted, but never turned on. And ive tried other batteries.

Try flashing CM7. Also...before you do...you may want to search for a format.zip from a member named temasek. It'll wipe your phone...clean. Real clean. Then flash CM7. try that.
also....those sense roms sometimes take at least 5 minutes to boot. Sometimes it'll stay on the X screen for 5 minutes or it'll stay on the bootanimation screen for 5 minutes. FYI.

I can't flash anything. Phone wont react to anything anymore. Hoping one of my family members can fix it. But if I get it on I will try that.
I am pretty sure i waited long enough, but who knows. I didn't partition my card, which may have been the problem. And also it was S-On....which i thought was odd when it had a custom firmware.
Unlock bootloader. Flash recovery. Boot into recovery. Wipe everything. Flash rom.
Why do you guys keep suggesting software stuff when it's probably a hardware problem he can't get the phone to boot up so he can't do any of that.
Although there is one thing I want you to try before your family take a crack at it to take it apart and what not, it's a long shot but it's your last chance if it's software. Hold down trackball and press power keep holding trackball for another 5-10 seconds (better to long then to short) then connect it to the computer via USB you could see a popup notification saying that it's looking for driver software if you do then it's software and we need to reflash everything and might need to unlock the bootloader. Now if you don't see a popup notification I would still go check in the device manager and check for an unidentified device probably in other (it should be extracted so that you can see it).
If this doesn't work then sorry but I think it's a brick
Because in order to find out if its truly a hardware problem you need to try every software fix first.
Op mentioned nothing of trying fastboot as well. Software fix is free hw is not. That is why we suggest software fixes.

Let me remind you guys, THE PHONE WONT TURN ON AT ALL REGARDLESS OF WHAT I DO. I can post a YouTube video to show everything. It'd be very random for it to be hardware because it just turned off and will not turn back on. If there is any software like an RUU out there, that would help, if not, ill have to buy a bottom piece and warranty it out. But I'd feel bad because that isn't the right thing to do.
I don't expect you guys to fix it and I and very thankful of your help! But the phone won't turn on at all. So telling me to flash roms doesn't work. Imagine it as flashing a rom with the battery out of your phone. I am wondering if there's an adb way or something to get it to turn on and restore to stock?
With all that said, any help is amazing help and I am very grateful that this isn't a post I have to bump! Thank you so much, when I go on the PC, ill thank the helpful posts

Then it is a brick if it won't turn on at all. The entire getting stuck at the x thing confused me to think it was powering on.
You have me confused sir, I'm not quite sure what good it is your looking for a RUU for. If the phone truly won't turn on/go past the X screen and you have it on a charger with no LED notification, then the phone is bricked. When you said you flashed a Sensation rom, I truly hope you just meant a Sense rom. If you can still get to the bootloader screen then you are not bricked and should retry everything from scratch.

can you boot your device into Bootloader?
with power off, boot phone while pressing volume down.
Bootloader is Multi-Colored screen.
what does that screen say?
sh4d0w86.
No it does not give any signs... not even if y connect it to charge, the LED does not appear...
Yesterday evening my phone was on the charger then it suddenly stopped and it is completely dead. It isn't showing any signs of life ever since, even if I charge it. It doesn't even show offline charging and I can't send it to Samsung as it's rooted so my warranty it VOID. It seems to me that it has Sudden Death Syndrome because it has been recently been switching off and now it's completely dead. What should I do? I'm pretty much screwed!

Well... I managed to just get it into offline charging. When I boot it up in normal mode it shows Samsung Galaxy S3 mini then after a few seconds the bottom lights flash for half a second and shut down. When I try to boot to recovery, model name then shut down. Yes it can just about make it into download mode.

If you get into download mode, go to sammobile en download the firmware for your phone and flash it with odin. if that worked, open stock recovery and do a fatory reset to make sure everything is back to stock... Then you can just hope it won't happen again.

I tried flashing stock recovery and ROM through Odin, it said pass but nothing actually seemed to fix and it still has the same problem that it shuts down after showing logo and when I boot to recovery it just shows TeamWin for a few seconds and shuts down so looks like I'm screwed and I have to use my BlackBerry :'(

And I don't think Samsung will repair it as my warranty is void and I doubt if my parents would get me a new phone as this phone is only 3 months as well! And I have seen an unbrick thread and I tried it and it didn't work :'(
Well, I know how you feel. My charging port died once after I changed rom. Samsung asked me 200 for repair. Maybe you can give it a try and send him in... You never know Samsung loves you more than me..

Have you any news about the problem in your phone?
Mine (i8190 with one of the mclaws roms from previous week) also appeared in the morning shut down and there's no way of starting it. It does not even vibrate when power button pressed, as if the battery was completely empty.
Tried with another battery and checked that the original one had charge, but no luck. It does not start (normal, download or recovery, makes no difference).
Any ideas?

Well mine was dead for a day then I plugged it into the charger (this was after a day and I left it on charge all night and it wouldn't start) and I held the power button for 10 seconds while it was on the charger it showed offline charging so I let it charge for a bit and then I powered it on and it seemed to be bricked so I sent it to a phone repair shop (not Samsung as my warranty is void). If it doesn't show any signs of life then it's bricked. If it comes to life then it is also probably bricked. I tried flashing many recoveries, ROMs, kernels and params and nothing happened.

I tried to flash stock ROM and recovery but nothing actually worked!
1. Did you follow the instructions in detail?
2. What does "nothing actually worked!!" mean??
Maybe you need to work out what is the problem and why it is failing. Then you will be able to figure out if it is actually fixable, and if so how to fix it. "Trying everything" doesn't really work unless you make an effort to analyse the results you get every time you try something.
You could try posting in one of the threads about taking the phone back to stock. The people who posted them might be able to help you, they are more experienced at this sort of thing.

"didn't work" isn't a result, it's you giving up. Without even trying to find out why it didn't work.

Hello,
I was using Cyanogenmod 11 and suddenly (possibly after an update) my phone wouldn't charge anymore. I tried many different scenarios and it turns out that the phone only charged when my phone was either off or just booted and the screen not locked yet. From the second I locked my screen, my phone would stop charging.
Naturally, I assumed that this was a problem with the last CM update, so I flashed a new ROM (SkyDragon GPE). And now, it charges only when turned my phone is turned off. Very weird.
Is anyone familiar with this problem? Do I need to return it to the store? And if so, is it best to return to stock ROM etc before returning it?

Do not return it! I am not entirely sure wheter the Recovery is responsible for charging or not.
If you don't fear losing all your data or if you've already backed them up, do a full RUU. This works that way:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2632736 and go to this section : "You want to have stock software again? No Problem" it is the last one before the first post ends.
This will get you to stock bootloader, recovery and OS. But pay attention you need a Win7 PC!
This way we can test wheter the issue also exists with stock software. if yes -> returning to the seller is an option. But for now you shouldn't do that.

Thanks for your reply LibertyMarine,
I'm afraid I already returned my phone. I couldn't even do anything with my phone anymore: the battery was dead and there was no way to charge it.

That's ok. If the battery was really dead and you can't turn it on again, then the chances that the repairteam from HTC won't be able to turn it on again either are high. So if you get lucky they make the decision that replacing the device is cheaper than repairing it and in that case they may not find out that it has been rooted.
Otherwise they may charge your for having to replace your motherboard as it's against HTCs policy to send back an altered motherboard. Just hope they don't find it out.
Good luck!
Hello,
Yesterday @alray was helping me reboot my phone since I was stuck on the Bootloader and it kept rebooting to "no
command" I ended up installing the RUU via the adb htc_fastboot, and it worked!
Here is the link to that thread: http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one/help/htc-one-m7-gpe-command-t3151389/page3#post61741252
So when I started my phone and I started to register my account again since everything was wiped clean, everything was fine then all of a sudden the phone froze and then it completely turned off. I do not know why. I was in the settings page when it froze. Now it will not turn on anymore. I have no idea why it's doing this. When I plug in the charger, no green light indicator comes on. It all seemed fine. Your help would be greatly appreciated!

No it wasn't completely fine yesterday, don't you remember why you had to flash a ruu? Your phone, for an unknown reason, randomly shut down and was only able to boot in recovery mode. Maybe the emmc chip was starting to act weird and some data got corrupted, flashing the ruu fixed that until the emmc died completely today, that is one possibility.

If you want you can try the unbrick project but like explained in that guide, it will only work if the phone went in this mode directly after flashing an incompatible firmware which is not possible on your phone since it's S-ON. Anyway it worth a try before sending it for repair / garbage but don't expect this to work....

Do you even know what is qualcomm download mode? It mean that the phone can't boot because of hardware damage (probably the emmc) or corrupted bootloader. To possibly fix a corrupted bootlaoder on a M7 you'll need to send your phone to a JTAG service, if its an hardware failure you'll need a new motherboard. You are not the first one in this situation, hundred of M7 died this way here and same for other devices using qualcomm's chipset. Unfortunately, I never heard of someone being able to push a new bootloader using QPST like its possible on some other qualcomm devices to fix a possibly corrupted bootloader.
