Hi all,
I downloaded the modaco update-nexusone-FRF50-signed.zip, and flashed my stock 2.1 (out of the box) nexus one rom, it worked well for about 9 hours, i plugged it into my car charger and when i took it off, it froze, and the touch screen disabled. Now im trying to reflash the rom and keep getting stuck at E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1, then E: Can't mount SD card
Any ideas on how i can get this working again?
Thanks
reinsert your sdcard, I have issues where the sdcard doesn't sit properly. This is assuming your using a2sd
i have a few times, same thing keeps happening, is there anything else I can try before I chalk it up to hardware malfunction and send it in to get a new one.... i reaallly dont want to do that
im also tried different sd card, and none of them have worked.

Well..... I wouldn't consider it to be a hardware malfunction yet.
1. Have you tried a non-apps2sd rom, like Stock Froyo
2. Have you tried completely reformatting your SD card on your desktop, while using a MicroSD to SD to USB converter or something of that sort. You'll need to delete all the partitions as you won't be able to see the EXT partiton in explorer, use disk manager
3. Have you tried using a different SD card?
4. Maybe you should completely wipe all the device in fastboot, maybe something is screwy, maybe even reinstall your recovery image
Try these things, then come back with results. We can diagnose issues after some of these troubleshooting techniques
i haven't tried formatting the card, but i have tried other cards with the update.zip flash, do you have a link to the stock froyo file
i think the problem is that the one i downloaded wasnt legit, and i have wiped the device in fastboot, the problem is that something is wrong with the touch screen, when it relaods from rebooting, it will get to the touch the android welcome screen and wont register any touch screen input, only volume up/down, trackball, and power button
okay, i tried formatting the sd card, and putting the update.zip file on it, and the same error occurred, when i tried to flash in recovery mode.
any update on what i can do to fix this?
Flash the original recovery image. You can find it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614057
You would do this through fastboot. Its easy, try that out
how do you do it through fastboot, i've only flashed through recovery

Put the img file on your sdcard, boot into fastboot, it should automatically check for the image and you should get a prompt asking for you to continue installing the image
no luck, it doesnt search for the image. When i enter fastboot, it just shows four options: bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, and power down

Then I would say something is faulting with your SD Card or your SDcard slot. I would try and take a very small ammount of rubbing alcohol and a q-tip to the contacts of your SD card, but there is no way to get into the slot without damaging it. If you have to do a warranty replacement just state that yes your device is bootloader unlocked but you're a developer and it is necessary to unlock in order to better serve the android platform
Hello,
first of all sorry for my bad english. I have a problem with my phone and really need your help.
So, what happened:
yesterday I installed baseband 521 V20s and Django Manouche custom rom. I didn't like the rom very much so I decided to move on an another rom. I chose ParanoidAndroid 11. I installed it from CWM, like it should be installed, but then I got a problem. The phone stucked on boot animation (image of paranoid android in the middle of the screen and little androids falling down like raindrops). And nothing happened for 5-6 minutes so I pulled out the battery and turn on again a phone. Then I got message that goes something like this: "optimizing applications" and when it finnished, I over again got boot animation and nothing happened. I waited for 10 minutes, and then finally the boot animation stopped and screen went in black. It respond to touch (soft keys got light when I touch phone), but black screen doesn't disapere.
So, what to do? I didnt do nandroid backup, I erased Django rom from internal sd card so I cannot flash back to it via CWM. The PC doesn't recognize the phone any more so I can't put new rom to internal sd card. I did, however, manage to put the rom to external SD card, but in CWM recovery, it says that "Can't mount sd card".
What should I do??
I hope that you understand my description of problem and that you can help me.
Easiest way is to boot into CWM. Under "Mounts and Storage" choose "Mount USB Storage". You should be able to copy a new ROM to the internal SDCard from your computer.
If that does not work, search this forum for guides on how to use "Smartflash" or "NVflash".

Reflash ParanoidAndroid after a full wipe (cache, system, data, dalvikcache) without flash other kernel or gapps. Then reboot it should work

@TrymHansen
When I do that in CWM, Windows ask me to format card. What should I do?
@Gjot
Unfortunately, that didn't help me.

Try a factory reset in CWM. (Or wipe /data and /cache).
This should hopefully fix your boot loop.
And when windows asks you to format the card then do it.
Could be that it got corrupted (which would be the reason why CWM can't mount it).
You will loose all data on it, but it looks lost, anyways.

What options should I choose? What "File system", "Allocation unit size"? If I use default options (Fat and default allocation size) Windows pops up this message: "Windows was unable to complete format."
Should I try with another sd card?
Anyway, I did some research and find out that I could use adb to push rom to the phone. But, I stuck there also. I finally found out how to open adb (and even what is it) but when I use command "adb devices" to test if it works, I got "List of devices attached" and nothing else
I know that problem is in drivers, but I dont know how to resolve it.
I finally solved it.
Thanks to PaulOBrien and NVflash.
Now I'm back to froyo and have unrooted device but it works!!!!
Symptoms:
Phone boots to the 3 Android boot screen with Fastboot bootloader. It will not load regularly.
I cannot make a menu choice until I push the trackball. This is not how the menu screen worked before.
I was doing a hard reset because the digitizer was acting up. I have not used this phone much until recently. I purchased it on ebay last year (for the accessories) but have only used it the last three weeks.
Hard resets were becoming less effective resetting the digitizer, which would act up more quickly with each reset.
I may have changed the default bootloader. I was using "clear storage" under hboot, but the phone now starts in fastboot. I have now pushed all number of combinations of menu options.
The phone has never been rooted (as far as I know.)
I cannot mount the phone to the computer via usb. "USB device not recognized...." but "fastboot" does become "fastboot usb" The command adb.exe devices lists no devices.
I have installed sdk but no usb drivers were installed in any of the packages.
So my question is: what do I need to do to have the phone start normally?
Bonus question: I was going to replace the digitizer, but is the digitizer a problem or a symptom of a bigger problem (and thus a waste of time replacing)?
Great welcome to the forum video. My apologies if this question has been asked a dozen times before, but I didn't find an answer. And of course,
"Thanks."

Well, now, thats quite a predicament The N1 digitizer has always been quirky and I've encountered many an occasion where I had to turn off the screen and turn it back on to continue typing.
I have a few questions on this :
a) Are you sure your phone wasnt rooted and a custom ROM wasn't flashed on?
b) Are you able to access recovery from the bootloader screen?
Since you are able to access fastboot, you can:
1) unlock your bootloader
2) Flash su (gain root if you dont have it)
3) Place a custom ROM (CM7 preferably) onto your SD card and flash it.
Hopefully, this should get your phone back on track.
A--I am not sure that the phone wasn't rooted, I bought it on ebay, but I own another N1 that I've used and the OS and functionality seemed identical. I believe that the seller said it was not rooted. I'm not sure how to root a phone, but perhaps I did something after getting into the menu.
B-- I am able to access recovery, I think. When I press the recovery option I get a vibration, the four colored star, a blank screen for a few seconds and finally a robot and a warning symbol. I'm not able to do any further.
1--I'll have to read up on unlocking the bootloader--I'm not sure, but don't believe I can unlock it at this point. I do have the option for either fastboot or hboot, but choosing either one and restarting leads to the same result.
2--I don't believe I can flash SU, again I'll need to read up on the procedure, but...
3--Windows responds when attach the phone via usb, but says it recognize the the device. I cannot access the SD card from explorer. I thought that maybe I need additional drivers, but don't find any that may be of use. Because Windows can't read the SD card, I don't think I can flash with a custom ROM.
However, there may be procedures I'm not aware of.
Thanks.

You don't need to have your phone connected to the USB of your computer to transfer data. Remove your SD card, place it in an SD Card adapter/reader and connect it to your laptop/PC. Copy your su.zip and custom rom zip file and place it in there.
Now, use standard instructions to do root your phone:
http://theunlockr.com/2012/10/16/how-to-root-the-htc-nexus-one/
a) Download the latest Clockwork Mod recovery to your PC
b) Now boot your phone in HBOOT mode ( the only option possible )
c) Since fast boot is working, unlock your bootloader using the instructions given in the link above
d) After this, reboot into HBOOT again, and this time, flash on the recovery.
e) Now reboot into recovery, and first flash su.zip ( to gain root access )
f) once that is done, flash your ROM. (wipe everything except SD card)
Hopefully, this should get the good ole N1 back.
Resolved--hardware problem--trackball
Coincidentally, another user had a very similar experience with his N1 at the same time. He determined it was his trackball. I tore my phone apart, disconnected the trackball and the phone now works again.
Thanks again to those two people who responded.

In short: Canceled Factory Reset, Now my SD card is not being detected properly and I am unable to format/mount it in recovery
Hey Everyone,
I've recently created quite a frustrating problem on my HTC Vivid that I'm unable to figure out. While attempting to go into CWM Recovery to check what version I have I accidentally selected Factory Reset from the bootloader. I quickly pulled the battery, as my back cover was off, within a second or two of this selection, and to my knowledge the phone was still on the bootloader screen and hadn't begun the process. After rebooting into my ROM and I attempted to install TWRP Recovery via Goo Manager in preparation for flashing a new ROM. After the download timer expired my Goo Manager crashed. Any attempt to install via Goo Manager since then is giving me this error, or it just hangs at the download web page. I suspect that this is because of the botched Factory Reset I mentioned earlier, and I'm worried I've somehow messed up the internal SD. My internal sd card is not detected by the camera app nor correctly seen in my file manager, in settings it is reported at the correct size, but apparently all my media has been deleted. I'm unable to format/mount ext sd or emmc in Recovery. My questions are: Has my sd card been corrupted, and If so, why did all my apps and user data remain? Secondly, how can I remedy this situation? I should mention that my phones data port is basically unusable, so I am unable to connect my device to a PC and use adb/fastboot.
My recovery is CWM 5.5.0.4 and my ROM is CM-10.2 | AOSP 4.3.1 Jellybean [KANG] [Oct-31] My phone is unlocked and S-OFF
Update: I tried to Factory Reset, thinking maybe what got me into this mess would get me out, but that option just takes me into recovery. This leaves me even more puzzled. I followed that up with a factory reset/davlik cache wipe from recovery but that hasn't done anything either. My conclusion thus far is that I need to somehow reformat my internal storage, is that possible without connecting my phone to a pc?
Thank you for any responses, and taking the time to read this.
I inadvertently hit the factory reset once from the boot loader and it did the reset in just a few seconds. It hosed my internal memory and unfortunately had to run the ruu to fix it. I know that is not what you want to hear if you can't connect it to a computer.

Seriously?
I have answered this question literally 100 times...
Please use the search feature...
Or at least scroll down and read thread titles...
And if your port is borked... Replace it

I did a forum search, I was unable to find a satisfactory answer so I started my own thread. (All were referring to using some method of connecting the phone to a PC)
If anyone is wondering, I solved my problem by simply doing a reset/data wipe via recovery and reflashing my ROM. During setup it prompted me to format my internal storage and now my phone is behaving as normal.
Mods feel free to lock and delete this thread.
Post in wrong section, its 1st gen. Please move
So recently I decided to unlock my bootloader and flash CM12 on my Moto G 1st gen
Everything went fine till a friend told me to download and install Xposed. As I launched the app and hit frame work it mentioned creating a backup before installing so I did using TWRP. From there I rebooted the phone and thats where I ran into problems, it started to bootloop. After many hours (3 days to be exact) I still cant get it out of this state.
I thought I fixed it by reflashing, but apparently it just flashed it onto a seperate partition and the new ROM didnt work well (Notification bar didnt pull down right, no home button or multi-task). Since it didnt work I tried to wipe it and reflash but that apparently wouldnt boot, then I lost the ability to access recovery.
ADB doesnt find the device, I think usb debugging got disabled at some point.
I need some help on how to unbrick this, I'm 4 days in and still out of luck. Please!
Nobody?
You can´t access the recovery at all? When i get into a bootloop i need to do a little trick to enter recovery; hold down the power button for several seconds until it reboot, then as soon as the screen turns black hold the power button and volume down for 5 seconds to enter into bootloader. Then enter recovery from the bootloader, do a full wipe and install a stable rom. If you can´t connect the phone to the pc, take the sd card out and put it on another phone so you can connect it to a pc to transfer a stable rom for flashing on your phone.
Sorry this is late, completely forgot I post this. I can now get into recovery although some features dont work as the phone has nothing else on it. Got a USB OTG cable today and going to try mount cm12 that way.
Update : Using TWRP mount I now have files on the device (Data, boot, sys, system) which I didnt have before. Although I'm now getting a E:unable to mount '/system' but TWRP says Successful. Any thoughts?
Update 2 : Flashed it another 2 times, that seemed to fix it. Now no SIM detected.
