please help me un-brick my phone

ekh... bought a nexus one off craigslist. it was already rooted. i used it for a day and then decided i didnt want to keep it, so i decided to do a hard reset. it's now stuck on the screen with the four different colors (nexus symbol) and the unlocked lock on the bottom. i've done the clear storage by holding the volume down (or trackball) and pressing power. i've tried to go through all those settings and cleared everything, but it still wont load..
any ideas? do i need to re-flash the original rom? can i flash a rom if it doesnt boot up? please help, as this is my first android phone and i've had it all of 24 hrs.. thanks
omar

Omar,
Please read the second sticky post in the forum "[ROM] Original Shipping - Tutorial" This has all the files and will tell you the steps to return your phone to the original shipping rom.
You can skip to step 5 once you download the necessary files. To get into fastboot mode on the phone do the following:
1. Power off the phone
2. Hold down the volume down key and press the power button (continuing to hold the volume down key)
3. Release both and it should boot into a white screen with the top, highlighted, option being fastboot
4. Press the power button to enter into fastboot mode. The screen should say fastboot-usb in red
Once you see fastboot usb you can begin to erase and flash the roms per the instructions.
FYI: The fact that your phone is booting to the four colored X logo means that your phone is not bricked. It is simply in some sort of boot loop. A bricked phone will show nothing on the screen and will not connect to the computer in any way shape or form.

if anyone can help me via AIM i would really appreciate it. i think i'm just about there, just need a little more info

i'm trying to figure out this fastboot thing.. i got the USB thing to work, so now my computer detects the phone. i downloaded fastboot but it keeps giving me some error message that it cant find some file... any ideas from there? thanks
omar

ok.. found and downloaded the sdk, and now when i open fastboot, it just closes right away.. wtf am i doing wrong?

You are running fastboot from a command prompt right?
To open a command prompt type "cmd" into run.

Posting a thread in the right forum might get you some help. =]

Hope you have a custom recovery (most likely). Hold volume down and push the power button. Then on the white screen, press volume down once and select Recovery by pressing Power. Hopefully, you'll have Amon Ra's recovery. If so, then you will be sent into this recovery screen where you can turn on USB mode which will allow you to connect to your computer so you can download a ROM onto your SD Card. Do that.
Then you disconnect...wipe everything under the 'Wipe' settings...then Flash the new ROM. You should be good to go from there!

Stuck @ Fastboot

Hey guys, sorry for a new post. I did a search and wasn't totally sure about what i found so i figured i'd start a new post and get some help.
I bought a nexus off a guy for cheap but it was stuck at the fast boot (?) screen
image
the trackball doesnt work so i cant select anything. the only thing i can do is pull the battery out to shut it down. what can i do to fix this phone? I have no idea what to do to an android. I switched yesterday from wm6.5 so you're going to have to explain everything.
thank you!

You search the forums. That's what you do.

Trackball might be effed up. Replace that

That phone is unlocked
You get to that screen by holding down the trackball when you press power. (Like the above poster said)
Make sure the volume buttons or the trackball are not stuck in a pressed state.

I thought to navigate that screen you use the volume button and power button to select. Trackball doesn't work in that menu

thanks for the helpful comments guys. :]
i meant to also add that none of the buttons work either, volume or power button. i tried to flash amonra's recovery thru cmd prompt but i couldnt do much after that. i couldnt get into the adb prompt. it says the device isnt found, although fastboot promt found the device fine. anyway so after i flash the amonra recovery img i can't get into recovery mode. holding the power and vol down button gets me to the hboot (i believe it is?) but again, i cant navigate the menu with any buttons to put it into recovery mode so i'm pretty much stuck here.
and just to clarify, I have done a few searches as i've said and I didnt feel sure enough that the problems mentioned were my problem so that is why I'm asking for help here.

You should not go to any forum and feel bad for posting or have to say over and over that you did a search. There are many people that can do better and some will show up, hopefully with answers that are not painful to someone who has purchased a new phone... cheap. I would flash amon ra which you can do adb without using any of the phone hardware buttons and then see where you are at. There are many posts on installing amon ra and the instructions are also in the offical thread. With any luck you just have a hosed recovery and the flash will get you rolling.

Can you not navigate the fastboot/hboot screen with the volume buttons? If not then you're gonna run into serious problems. Make sure both the volume buttons and trackball are clear. You can clean the trackball by pressing it in with a piece of cloth and pushing it in different directions while pressed in, this should clear most of the junk on it.
You can also clean the volume buttons and power button a little better by removing the battery cover. Good luck bud.

trackball+power -> fastboot mode.
volume+power -> recovery mode. if you see androids on skates you have the stock recovery.
trackball+volume+power held = reboot
Recovery, boot etc can be flashed from fastboot only.

just to clarify, the first thing that pops up when i press just the power button is the fastboot. i dont have to press anything else, just power.
i flashed amonra recovery img while i was on fastboot mode from my computer (cmd i used was fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1.img) and it was successful.
Then i tried to put it into recovery mode w the command adb shell reboot recovery. It said that the device wasn't connected.
when i input the cmd fastboot devices i see my device connected, but when i input adb devices it says its not connected.
So i figured I'd put it into recovery mode on my phone by pressing volume+power. I get to the hboot screen with the three androids on skateboards (i realize the screen looks the same as fastboot but the selectable options here are different) but the volume buttons, trackball, power buttons don't work so i can't select "recovery" on the phone.
so this is where i'm stuck

It sounds like you have a stuck or f..d up trackball.
P_

I have the same problem has anyone figured out a solution?

You cannot use ADB commands when you are in the bootloader (i.e., fastboot) screen. You need to be booted into the ROM or into the recovery for those commands to work.
What I find difficult to understand is how come your volume buttons work to boot into the bootloader, but don't work once you are there?
Try flashing each partition from a stock FRG33 ROM (from here). Unzip the files, and flash the boot, system and data images using fastboot (e.g., fastboot flash system system.img) and then try to reboot normally.

[Q] Can't boot into recovery or erase recovery (TRIED ERASING CACHE)

Hi I am trying to work through the process of rooting my HTC One.
I have some experience with android as I've rooted three different phones now, the One is the only one giving me trouble :/
So I got the bootloader unlocked via the HTC Dev method, and now I'm trying to get recovery to work. I've flashed CWM, CWMT, and TWRP, and no matter which I try I can't boot into recovery via "adb reboot recovery" or via the HBOOT menu. When I try the phone just goes through a regular reboot. I can't use ROM Manager to do it either naturally since I don't have root yet (need recovery to install SuperSU).
However ROM Manager does show I have CWM and TWRP installed (both? weird) so I tried to start over by doing "fastboot erase recovery" but it says
FAILED: (remote: not allowed)
I tried "fastboot erase cache" before and after flashing a recovery and nothing at all changes.
Any ideas? Could I have missed something really simple and stupid? I'm pulling all my hair out trying to figure this out.
I heard some people got it to work by flashing the recovery to the boot partition, but until I get assurance that isn't a terrible horrible idea (like it seems) I don't want to try that.
EDIT: yes, the "fast boot" option in the power menu is already disabled.

I had the same issue. Solved it by disabling the fast boot option within the OS. Under power options.
Worth a shot.

Thanks for the reply but that option is already disabled

I was facing the same problem, however, what I did was turn on fast boot under settings right after I flashed the recovery.
Then, I rebooted back into the bootloader and I now had ***TAMPERED*** at the top of my screen. I afterwards selected reboot into recovery and bam, I now had TWRP on my phone.

Just tried that, didn't work
Also why would you have TAMPERED at the top? Did you change anything else to get that like flash a different HBOOT or fastboot or something?
I'm about to throw this thing out the window -___-

SOLVED
Hallelujah, I got it!
I did nothing differently, but eventually it worked...very weird, but at least I got it! The final iteration to get it working was this:
1. Turn off fast boot option in power menu
2. Boot into bootloader via power menu, then power + vol down
3. go into fastboot
4. from a cmd window, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. fastboot erase cache
6. from the menu, boot into recovery
7. phone boots to the OS instead of recovery
8. boot back into the bootloader via power menu, power + vol down
9. TAMPERED shows up, boot into recovery and it works!
note that i never used adb reboot recovery or adb reboot bootloader, idk if that matters, but I did everything from the phone.
thanks for all your help!

For what it's worth, I use ROM Toolbox's Reboot to recovery option and it works. Though I can see where you'd need to boot to recovery from startup.

dead android w/ red exclamation point

I'm trying to flash the stock recovery so that I can install the 4.4.3 OTA update.
I'm following these steps:
1)Open a command prompt on your PC and change directory to the folder where mfastboot.exe is.
2)At the command prompt type:
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
to flash the stock recovery to your Moto X.
3)After the recovery has been flashed to your Moto X, at the command prompt type:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
to reboot into the bootloader.
When I boot into recovery I get a dead android with a red exclamation point.
Let sit for a minute it eventually boots into KitKat. What is up with this? How can I take the update with this messed up recovery.
I used the stock recovery from the OP in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/xt1053-4-4-3-ota-update-zip-t2772613
please help.

I had a difficult time( for some reason) trying to update to 4.4.3 the same way you are trying. I almost messed up my phone completely. Needless to say, I had to flash back to stock 4.4.2 manually with the help of others. Phone is now updated to 4.4.3 via OTA.

Android in distress ( logo with Exclamation mark) is normal when booting to stock recovery.
Press and hold the VOL UP key for 10-15 seconds. While still holding the VOL UP key tap and release the POWER key. That should put you in Recovery stock recovery.

Ugg. I'm dumb. Reading through the link you posted I realized the "Dead Android with Red Exclamation Point" is actually the stock recovery. I just need to hold the Vol up button for a few seconds and then tap the power button. Hmm. How did I not know that?
I thought I had a screwed up Recovery. Turns out it is fine.

Here are my steps:
flashboot flash recovery recovery.img
flashboot reboot-bootloader
It will go to Recovery
See the dead android with exclamation mark
Press Volume-Up for 10 seconds and then click power (without releasing vol-up)
Enter Stock Recovery Screen
Apply update from sdcard
Get 4.4.3 update.zip file here

"Press Volume-Up for 10 seconds and then click power (without releasing vol-up)
Enter Stock Recovery Screen"
This method is not working on my Moto G XT 1033 (Dual sim version).
I am running 5.0.2
Please assist on how can i see my stock recovery from that red exclamation mark logo screen.
Ok... i got solution here!

Trying to install TWRP on Mate S

Model: HUAWEI CRR-L09
Product ID: 30460392
Build number: CRR-L09C368B146
Hoping for some help here! I'm not a complete noob and I have unlocked and flashed customs ROMs on a few devices before but I'm going round in circles with the Mate S I bought yesterday.
I think that I have successfully unlocked the bootloader (see attached pic) after I got the code online and it is also FRP unlocked. I don't seem to be able to flash TWRP though. I'm using twrp-2.8.7.0-carrera.img from here. After trying to flash TWRP with ADB I don't seem to have any recovery at all.
Vol Up + Power = Stuck on Huawei logo. Have to power off.
Vol Down + Power = Phone just starts up normally.

But I can't get into recovery. On the TWRP website it mentions that you may have to manually enter recovery the first time you boot after installing TWRP to stop the custom recovery being overwritten. I have tried using Vol Up + Power on the first boot but nothing happens.
Any ideas? Can't start to use the phone until it's rooted ans I can restore some apps.
Thanks in advance.

i've got exactly the same problem since i converted my L09 to UL00, recovery is not booting up anymore and supersu is not working either.

Tried this numerous times, downloaded the TWRP.img again just to be sure.
As per my first post, the TWRP.img gives me an OKAY message but holding down either Vol Up + Vol Down + Power or just Vol Up + Vol Down and issuing the fastboot reboot command just leaves the phone showing the Huawei logo.
What has changed is that the Huawei eRecovery has reappeared. Vol Up + Power makes Huawei eRecovery start.
Vol Down + Power starts the 'FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE' screen as per the pic I attached in the first post.
Any more ideas???
Thanks.

Rhymes with anchors, starts with W!

OMG it works for me !
I downloaded the entire firmware with erecovery this night (by pressing power and volume up while the phone is plugged on the computer), since i modified the phone to ul00, it took me the whole night (chinese server i guess). so this morning I rebooted my phone and type the usual command :
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img (or whatever is the name of your file)
Code:
fastboot reboot (my phone was still connected in usb, and i was pressing both volume up and volume done before press enter)
And voila !

After you installed and tried to reboot, it usually says something like " Root is not installed. Do you want to install?"
What option did you chose there?

Tried it both ways.

I'm having the same problem, but if you search for even a copy of the software online to try and extract the recovery.img to re-flash the same one, you can't find the same build.
It's infuriating.
Edit: I don't know if any of you have tried to Factory reset from the settings menu, but it won't let you do it now either, so if we were to return the phone to three then you will be sending it off with all of your data on it.
