Ok so I think I've bricked my Nexus One. Everything was working perfect until I re-rooted it (to have SetCPU to work). I am now stuck at the loading animation screen (Google Nexus One "X"). It just keeps going and going and going. I've even tried loading my Nandroid backup and still does the same and won't work. Also I've wiped to factory default settings and tried to reinstall Modaco's 1.3 rom.
Someone please help me out...
Flash bacon add-on on top
bye!
So reinstall Modaco's 1.3, then install Bacon Add-On, and then reboot?
Yep That's the solution for some users
ok cool I'll give it a shot right now... I really appreciate it
ok at this moment it's still stuck on the animated screen... now I really don't know what to do...
Try flashing the stock rom
if u have the sdk installed, the run ddms. power on the phone usb connected to pc and see the log in ddms, paste-bin here
I have no idea on how to do that... I'm pretty much stuck at this point
try not flashing Modaco's Rom,
just flash CM's bacon
i think there is a confusion because Modaco's rom is in the rooting threat (made me believe you HAVE to use Modaco's superboot and then go to CM's bacon.
reality is you don't need modaco's superboot. after bootloader unlocking and flashing Amon Ra's recovery image you can go straight flashing CM's Makin' Bacon.
It seems people have been successful with CM's
maybe just go straight back to the start, check that bootloader is unlocked, flash amon ra's recovery, then flash Makin' Bacon
good luck

WOW, I really appreciate it and that just worked for me. Thank you to the both of you guys!
if you can get into bootloader mode (this is the lowest level mode you can boot into), you can not brick. Even more so if you can get into recovery (which is usually always possible if you can get to bootloader)
Good you found a way to get out of your situation.
Like i said in Android 101, you CAN NOT brick the phone unless you are updating SPL and Radio. All other stuff is just a minor inconvenience.

haha, i am glad it worked! I don't even have my Nexus One in my hands (my biz trip to the States has been delayed again ), but i spend the waiting time doing my research... it's a bit like the Holiday Season, just that the gift giving day gets pushed out further and further...
glad it worked and it confirmed my research - so i can go at it with ease once i can
This is good news. OP, you should update your thread titled with the prefix [SOLVED].
ahh how'd I miss that 101 sticky... thanks for the heads up again guys.
Edited title =)
Am I bricked?
Ok, my issue is that I cant boot into bootloader or recovery (I tried booting with rollerball pushed in, booting with down volume, abd-mac reboot recovery, abd-mac reboot bootloader) and it just goes right into my OS which is crashing every few minutes, and my radio wont work. Any suggestions? If I am bricked, can I send it to HTC even though its rooted and bootloader is unlocked? I dont care if I have to pay for fixing it.

First of all, if your phone boots at all, it isn't bricked. A brick is a paperweight - it doesn't do anything. Second, this thread of 5 months old. Third, people have talked A TON about sending phones in to HTC with an unlocked bootloader, do a bit of searching.
And finally, it is very peculiar that your phone doesn't boot into bootloader or recovery. Try plugging your phone into your computer, opening your command prompt, navigate to your adb install direction, typing "adb wait-for-device reboot bootloader", and turning on your phone. Best of luck!
People should be banned for bumping 5 month old threads with posts not even related to the OP's post. Ridiculous.
@rcxquake: thanks for your suggestion. That didnt work, it just rebooted the OS. Ill keep searching for my solution and how to send to HTC if I cant find the solution.
@GldRush98: Sorry for ruining your day. I put in a google search for what I was experiencing and this was one of the top result of anyone remotely close to my issue. Yes, this is an old post, but maybe someone had this issue months ago, and had a solution I wasnt aware of.
And like I said, I found this post, although not exactly my same issue, was as related as Ive been able to find. I didn't find it so ridiculous.
If you can find my same issue on another post, then please help by pointing me to it so I can find my solution. I didn't mean to cause any issues.
Thanks
I for one am glad you posted. I don't know whether this is a solution for you or not, but I'm sometimes only able to get to the bootloader after I've had the phone off the charges, with the battery out, for some time. It varies for me between a few minutes and many minutes. It is hard to say because when I try and it doesn't work, I don't know if I've reset the time by having tried.
Anyhow, I found this thread because I'm having trouble with an N1, and one of the earlier posts may help me. Thanks for bumping the thread for my benefit.
Howdy all,
My phone broke, so I'm back on the hero. I forget any and all stuff of how to's on this phone so bear with me. Basically, I'm a noob for the hero now.
So, recently, I followed the Cyanogenmod Full Update wiki guide, rooting it with the rageagainstthecage exploit. However, after my first time, my phone would eventually be so slow that it would seem to freeze. It's just so so so so slow. It's unusable. The lockscreen would come up, and i would touch the lock icon, which would vibrate. I would slide to unlock, but the screen doesn't react. at all. then it would vibrate, indicating an unlock, but the screen doesn't change at all. Occasionally, I'm able to accidentally enter an app, but I cannot read texts, answer calls, or reply to texts. Or do anything else.
Occasionally, I'll get a "app is unresponsive" message, but I can't force close/wait.
Oh, btw, when this happens, I can't get into my recovery (CWM 3.0.0.5). Also, I don't see the boot animation.
I have done an RUU stock reset, which fixed it once. The problem occurred again while on CM7, and I did another RUU reset, but the problem is now consistent throughout the stock sense. Omigawd what do i do?
Since I am now on stock that has usb debugging disabled, I can no longer access adb.
I am currently on absolute stock (fresh-out-of-the-box like), not rooted, and have S-OFF.
I am fairly well versed in fastboot and adb commands. When I try to access the recovery, I am sent to a black screen. When I plug in while in recovery and do "adb devices," I get my model number with the message "offline."
I AM OUT OF IDEAS! Someone. Please helpppp.
Thank you for reading. Thank you for helping.
Try a re-root with regaws rooter (the old version if you can get it) i swear by it. or Z4 root. once you have reestablished root, get Rom manager and flash the 2.4.0.7 recovery. then in rom manager go to downloads and get the cyanogen mod download of your choice( myself i prefer 7.0.3) and flash. you should be good to go from there.
as far as your adb it looks like your pc either isnt recocnizing your phone or you dont have the proper drivers installed.
Bout all i can tell ya ,one noob to another,,,
BTW, if you want to start completly from scratch, since your s-off,you can get a HERCIMG.img i think in the development sectin of this forum that is flashable from fastboot,,,try that ,,,Later man and good luck
Luckily you are S-Off. Can you put a HERCIMG.zip on the root of your sd card with a recovery (even CWM 2.5.0.7 will do) and then maybe try downloading another rom. Maybe you have a bad download. I am a big fan of Jaybob's TeamHeroc Rom which is a great CM7ish type of rom. Make sure that you format boot, cache, data, and system (I do it 3 times for each to make sure that it is really wiped) before you flash whatever rom you choose. You might have some leftover stuff that is causing some issues. Just wiping data and cache might not be enough. Here is a HERCIMG with a 4.0.1.4 recovery that you can load from H-Boot. I'm pretty sure that it's the Orange Recovery that I use.

I like Regaw's for rooting too. I used it the last time I did an RUU.
Isnt that what I said just before you ??? Lol
BTW Pilot, Where have you been? One of the most active members of the Heroc forum and all of a sudden ,poof, gone like a fart in the wind ! And then as if by magic, Poof, your back.I knew youd return, they always always return to the ol reliable Heroc. Good to see you around again bud, Later man,,,
Sent from my HERO200 using xda premium
hey guys just got back from vacation. Thanks for all your feedback. I switched phones to a temporary one now. I don't really feel like switching back to the hero cuz it costs money to activate phones. Also, I talked to an app developer about my problems. He told me that 1. the phone is way to old to be running gingerbread. Some nasty software probably carried over from my last flash onto the stock RUU flash. and that 2. whenever the problem occurs, I should let the battery drain before I do anything. Turns out, whenever the problem happens nowadays, I just let the battery drain and its all fixed. OKAY WTF. But all smiles now. Its my ipod-touch-like device now. I used regaws root.
THANKS GUYS SO MUCH.
I've rooted my Nexus One a long long time ago, and eventually reverted to it's original state. Let's skip ahead a year..
I wan't to use my Nexus One again until I can get my hands on a Nexus 4. I'm trying to root this bad boy, but run into a problem with every method. I got the one click method to work, but it wouldn't boot up. And when I try to go into Bootloader for recovery, it checks for the PASSIMG.ZIP file and then updates. If I click no, it makes no difference, it doesn't let me do anything. Updating will restore the phone to stock(unrooted). So I deleted PASSIMG.ZIP from the SD card. Ever since, I can actually click on Recovery, but I run into trouble(see further below). S is ON btw, I don't remember what this was, but I'm sure I had it OFF before? I have been using an iPhone for the past year and a half, so I apologize for being a noob. I'm not to tech savvy when it comes to these terms, either.
Short explanation:
One Click Root - I can root it, but when I go to Bootloader Recovery it shows the Android guy and a triangle around !
Using the old school method using Windows terminal, recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-passion.img was flashed without problem.
But I can't access Recovery!
In the end I'm trying to at least have an ICS ROM, or Jellybean(Really wanna try Google Now or whatever) if possible.
Check the Wiki for instructions on how to bootloader unlock your phone. Much easier. You can then flash everything you want using fastboot (so make sure you have the fastboot driver installed correctly).
Btw, the triangle means you still have stock recovery.

The unlock padlock icon means the bootloader is unlocked, correct? I've done that. And I actually went through that, and flashed the custom Recovery, still the same result. I'll retry it again.
I figured it out, but I don't get it...
I did this in kind of a different route, so just incase someone runs into a similar problem some how:
I rooted the phone using the one click root software on a windows PC, the N1 was successfully rooted.
However, same error recovery, even after adb flashing recovery(followed wiki and unlockr tutorial).
What I did different to fix the issue, was after the root, I downloaded Rom manager(yes I've done this before too, but...), I flashed the recovery via Rom Manager. After it didn't work(sadface).
I tried it again, but just out of frustration I re-flashed it after flashing. So I flashed the recovery twice, back to back. And poof, I check bootloader, go into recovery, and there it is(just like it used to be).
Close this I guess, (an embarrassing)problem has been solved.
Okay, so being the wise person that I am, I decided that it would be a good idea to get the 4.2.2 sense update a few days/weeks before my carrier (Rogers) pushes it. I'll write it step by step, in case anyone can help me
- I started by making an ADB Backup, rooting the phone, and installing twrp recovery. No issues there
- When the phone started back up, I tried to restore my data, but the adb backup kept getting stuck on "com.Android.contacts" or something similar, so I decided I might as well try getting S-Off so I could change CID and get the 4.2.2 update.
- I used Revone, but it kept failing (error code -1). I posted in that thread about it, but I decided that in the mean time, I would just factory reset my phone.
I stupidly clicked "format" in twrp!
Now, my phone is on twrp with no OS. I tried downloading the rogers rom from HTC Dev, but it was a Zip file, and it won't install. I restarted the phone, and now I can't push anything to it. It says "error: device not found" when I try push the European 1.28 RUU (which I'm not sure if that would even work, because of CID/MID differences since the phone isn't S-Off.
Any help would be greatly appreciated :crying:
Okay, So I finally got the European RUU to push to the phone, only to realize that it's a ".exe" that can't be flashed from twrp. I have no access to a PC

Just flash any stable ROM in the meantime so you can at least boot the phone. Download ARHD, push the zip to your phone, and flash that.
I really don't understand all these people changing CIDs to force updates, especially when they go back to s-on afterward. You're locking your phone into a potentially problematic configuration. I helped another guy this morning who did it and then couldn't boot up but couldn't fix anything because he went back to s-on and locked bootloader.
If you want 4.2.2, do it the right way: S-off, flash firmware, flash rom. If you want stock, there are stock roms. All of this can be done on a Mac.

Well, I flashed CM 10.1, and finally managed to get S-Off. Now my issue is trying to go back to stock HTC Firmware. I can only get the RUU, which obviously doesn't work on Mac. Even If could extract the Zip, I have twrp recovery. How would I go back to a stock recovery that would allow me to get the OTA? I'm really upset about this whole thing. I mean, come on. HTC should've provided a Mac utility that allows users to go back to stock completely. I understand that they give you warnings about doing this kind of stuff, but I should be able to play around with my device and still be able to get it back to a functional factory state. I got iOS 7, and it was incredibly easy to go back. I've upgraded my Blackberry Z10 a 100 times with firmware from all over the world with no issues. I've also never had to deal with this S-crap stuff on my Nexus 4. It's just frustrating for end users.
Anyways, rant aside, would you happen to know how I can go back to a full factory state? I'm on CM 10.1 right now with twrp recovery.

Without a PC to run the RUU, I'm not sure. You can flash stuff, but if you want to be out of the box stock, you need a RUU.
I finally managed to get my phone to work. In case anyone comes across this, I'll write down what I did.
I had too many problems to list. From not being able to access adb on the phone, to the phone's memory being partitioned incorrectly, to the point where even a recovery like twrp couldn't format or access it in order to flash anything ("Unable to mount internal storage").
The solution to all problems (and if you're a Mac user like I am, this is disheartening), is that you'll need to run RUU on a PC. When doing this, you'll likely run into a few error messages.
Error 170: Make sure the device is in fastboot mode before plugging it in (hold power and volume down on boot, and select fastboot with the power button). You can make sure that the computer can see it by going to your device manager in windows, and make sure that it says "My HTC" under "Android Device." If it has a cryptic name with an exclamation mark, or you can't see it by using "fastboot devices" command, you'll continue to get that error.
Error 171: This error kept occuring when the computer could no longer see the phone after the process had already begun. The reasons this happens are many (ie your USB wire or drive might be faulty), but to me, it was because the phone was not going back to the bootloader on its own, and the computer eventually gave up. To solve this, start RUU.exe and WAIT BESIDE IT. You will come across 2 points where it says waiting for bootloader. Have your computer's device manager open, and hold the phone's power button until you see that the "Android Device" or "My HTC" disappears and reappears. RUU should continue when that happens. Again, you will have to do this twice! If you don't, RUU gives up on the phone as it does not go into the bootloader by itself, and will eventually give you an error.
For anyone going through this, just realize that as long as you can get into the bootloader, there's always a way to get it to work. At times, I thought my phone was completely bricked, but no matter what issue you have (including unable to access the phone's internal memory), you can always solve it if you can get into the bootloader. With that said, this process will erase everything on your phone, unfortunately. Everything is done at your own risk, so please don't blame those who are trying to help you. Good luck, and remember to always post your solution online, if you start a topic discussing the issue. I came across many people with the same issue who never came back with their solution!
Edit the title to solved
Not that it has happened to me but I think you could have just sideloaded a custom Rom from twrp and flashed that.

That was one of the first things I tried. It kept coming back with "unable to mount internal storage" or something like that, as I noted earlier. It was really weird, I couldn't format, mount, or do anything to my storage with tarp, and I couldn't get adb to see the phone. A lot of people have the issue with the One X, but I couldn't find a solution anywhere. I think what made the whole thing trickier than it needed to be is the fact that I changed my CID/MID, and in that guide, it is explained that you have to reboot the phone yourself in RUU, but I didn't realize not doing so would result in errors. I kept thinking it was because my device wasn't being seen in adv, so I was trying to get it to boot into any ROM for that to happen, and the inability to flash anything due to the internal storage error really complicated things. It's good to know that even this can be resolved, as I had all but convinced myself that I was dealing with a brick. I hope anyone coming across this issue in the future can benefit from my ordeal.

That's normal since android 4.1 because the sd card is not a fat partition anymore, did you follow this guide?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2325853
Using this guy's guide for the Nexus 5 I had no issues, bought a N6 today and was giddy to flash on Cataclysm for N6 and figured might as well use same person's guide for next phone up.
http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/12/how-to-root-nexus-6-windowsmaclinuxubun.html
Was able to unlock bootloader, then installed TWRP but now am getting the 'corrupt phone' message, however unlike others like I have read on XDA, am unable to boot up by just letting it sit. Screen turns off and that's that. Before beginning entire process I enabled "enable/allow oem unlocking". I'm assuming that when the phone factory resets after the bootloader unlock I need to go back in and recheck 'allow oem unlock' in dev options, but I didn't as I assume/ed that it wasn't necessary and the guide doesn't tell you to.
Tried relocking the bootloader to maybe get phone to open up, but terminal tells me that I need to have 'allow oem unlock' checked. Nice Catch-22 http://puu.sh/moOUf/d0f8fa9050.png
Tried formatting data from within TWRP and factory resetting/wiping everything but it tells me that it is unable to mount '/data'
Have since tried WugsToolkit and flashing to stock with 'softbricked' option enabled the shamu-mmb29k-fact....tgz image that I downloaded and imported myself into Wugs (was taking 10 minutes to dl 1%). That seemed to work and told me it was a success, however when I then went back to re-enable the bootloader via wugs it fails and reboots with the lock sign still open and boots again onto 'corruption' screen that then flashes off and turns phone off, left it for 30 minutes at one point and didn't boot so don't think I'm lucky enough to be able to sit if through like others who had that issue
Where to go from here? Really hoping I didn't brick this phone less that 3 hours after getting it. I can still boot and see the Google screen and can get onto the bootloader and used to be able to get into recovery (since wugs have been getting the android with red triangle)
Been rooting/rom'ing since day one that I've had androids. Had a Samsung Apollo with CM on it, same for the Nexus S, then the Galaxy Nexus, then the N5 and looks like my chain of no issues ended tonight
Anything you can do for guys would be greatly appreciated. No clue where to go from here....
So from what I gathered, I think you are in luck. It sounds like your bootloader is unlocked. This is a very good thing. Under no circumstances do you want to try to re lock it right now or do you ever when stuck not being able to boot or any issues like that. If you lock it while stuck, thats when you are soft bricked. If I remember correctly, I got myself in the same situation , although maybe with out a custom recovery installed. None of that matters though. The way to fix this is to reflash the the factory image. Here are the guides for that.

This is the video I used the first time. A bit rough but, It did the job.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hao_Yf-gaw
Here is a bit of a nicer one. I used it the second time around.
and lastly here is an xda post http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/guide-flash-factory-images-nexus-6shamu-t2954008
I would recommend reading and watching all of these and maybe doing more research so you really knows whats going on. The flash-all script is not going to work from what I've read and I've always done it manual so go with that. It may also be a good idea to keep the custom recovery, so look into to keeping that. Maybe it is as simple as not erasing the recovery partition and not flashing the recovery image. This is what should save your nexus.
Now, I am fairly new to the Rooting and ROMming, really only started 2 months ago, so I would really appreciate if any of the more experienced guys on XDA can confirm what I said. Please don't try any of this without confirmation from another member here, I do not want to be responsible for sending your device past the point of no return. I recently had to order a new Nexus 6 as the screen is dead, so I know it's frustrating to have that loss. In your case, as long as that boot loader is unlocked, you should be safe. Best of luck to you.
DO NOT RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER!!!!! I cannot emphasize how critical it is that you do not relock the bootloader, given the position you are in. If you somehow manage to relock the bootloader and "enable OEM unlock" is toggled off and Android will not boot (even after attempting a factory reset), then you are 100% bricked with no way to fix your phone. Personally, I leave my bootloader unlocked 100% of the time so that I can fix anything that may go wrong with my phone. Additionally, I (as well as many other users on here) will always advise against using Wug's or any other toolkit in order to do stuff to your phone. While they do provide a nice GUI as well as an easy way to install the necessary drivers, using the regular platform-tools command line method isn't all that hard to figure out, and it allows you to know exactly what you have done to your phone. With Wug's and the like, you never really know what commands that they are running and exactly at what point in the process a flash may fail. Right now, I would advise you to read up on using the platform-tools method to flash stock images. After you have all of the necessary drivers, platform-tools, etc. working properly on your computer, I would strongly advise that you download MMB29S (the latest official update) from the Google Developer page and flash it using the platform-tools method, NOT with Wug's. And whatever you do, I repeat, DO NOT LOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER!

Here is a bit of a nicer one. I used it the second time around.
and lastly here is an xda post http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/guide-flash-factory-images-nexus-6shamu-t2954008
I would recommend reading and watching all of these and maybe doing more research so you really knows whats going on. The flash-all script is not going to work from what I've read and I've always done it manual so go with that. It may also be a good idea to keep the custom recovery, so look into to keeping that. Maybe it is as simple as not erasing the recovery partition and not flashing the recovery image. This is what should save your nexus.
Now, I am fairly new to the Rooting and ROMming, really only started 2 months ago, so I would really appreciate if any of the more experienced guys on XDA can confirm what I said. Please don't try any of this without confirmation from another member here, I do not want to be responsible for sending your device past the point of no return. I recently had to order a new Nexus 6 as the screen is dead, so I know it's frustrating to have that loss. In your case, as long as that boot loader is unlocked, you should be safe. Best of luck to you.

Regarding the flash-all script, my friend and I just used the script included with MMB29S and it worked fine. In addition, I was able to use the one with MMB29K, MRA58K and MRA58R, all of which worked fine. I'm not sure if these scripts always work for some users and never work for others, but I always recommend that people who are new to flashing simply try them, as they are quite convenient when they work. In addition, I have only been in the rooting and ROMing scene for about a month or two as well, but I would consider myself pretty seasoned by now considering all the different ROMs, rooting methods, etc. that I have tried. All the advice that you gave to the OP is excellent and I agree with it all.

Thank you. I always wanted to try the flash-all script but, I ahve read a few places it wouldn't work and haven't had the chance to give it a try lately. When my new device arrives in a day or two, I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the confirmation, makes me feel good knowing I'm starting to get the hang of this stuff

No problem! It's too bad to hear about your device but at least you got a new one on the way. There is really no harm to at least trying the flash-all script. It will either work and save you time or fail halfway through and force you to flash everything manually.

You guys are life savers, thank you so much
Got it to work after I was getting ready to phone it in and bring it to a repair shop and eat whatever the charge might've been
