So I just got back my nexus one from htc, got my mother board changed and preloaded with 2.2. I rooted it with universal root without unlocking my bootloader.
Problem: when I reboot after successfully loading CM6 and have it running, it reboots to the "X" and hangs.
Am I doing something wrong?
For how long is it hanging? I recall having to wait what seemed like forever the first time I booted with CM6... but eventually it 'took'.

You have a locked bootloader as well right? I waited a good 30 mins. Maybe i should leave i and give it more time to boot?
All works normally on inital boot of CM6 after install with locked bootloader, just that when i try to reboot the first time manually... it stays at the "X" for an awefully long time.
Did you wipe?
Try wiping data,cache,dalvik-cache.
ya, this is what i did.
1) Universal root with locked biootloader on stock 2.2
2) installed rom manger
3) flashed recovery + downloaded and flashed CM6 + google apps
Boots up fine, runs CM6 flawless. Upon manual reboot, it hangs on the X
Then i tried:
1) reboot into recovery
2) full wipe + davlick cache
3) reinstall CM6 + google apps
Still hangs. I haven't had time to play with it, but ill try to leave it along upon reboot a lil longer to see if it pulls thu~
Please let me know whether after installing the 6.0 cyn. rom and after the initial install you can then reboot and it pulls up and runs as usual. I am getting ready to flash the cyn 6.0 rom I am on stock 2.2 and have never flashed a rom before I have backed up the current rom through Rom Manager and flashed Clockworkmod recovery and I have the unloocked bootloader root as well. I have a question if and when I flash the new rom through Rom Manager does it not wipe and clear data etc. automatically? If not how would i go about doing that. Any and all help is greatly Appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MY bootloader is LOCKED, i rooted differently. Since you have a UNLOCKED bootloader, you will have no problems booting.
I still never got a chance to play with the N1 yet, ill keep u guys updated

When you go to flash a new ROM in Manager, it will offer you the option to wipe and/or backup before it applies the ROM.
Thank you so much for the kind replies!! I meant to say that I had a locked bootloader root using the one click root and unroot. I guess this means I would face the same situation as described earlier in this thread. I am very grateful to all the posters for sharing. THANK YOU!!!
Do you mean it hangs on the nexus one X boot animation? Because CM6 has it's own boot animation you shouldn't see that at all.
I would test it with a different Rom to see if you get the same result. If it's only CM6 doing that, maybe try the nightly version.

hey guys Im a new to the whole rooting and flashing custom roms thing. I love my N1 and I figured it was time to start playing with it more then the usual out of the box customizations.
I rooted the phone using the one click root app:
(cant post the link since Im a new user)
and then installed the Rom Manager.
I then installed the ClockworkMod recovery like it says to do.
Then I performed a Backup of the Current Rom using the Rom Manager
then Downloaded CyanogenMod 6.0.0-RC2 along with the Google Apps add on.
once the download completed it says do you want to do a wipe and also asks option to back up current rom. I checked both boxes and the phone boots into recovery mode.
Now this is where Im confused on what to do. At first I wasnt sure it the Rom manager would auto load the new rom, so I let it sit for like 10 min and realized it wasnt doing anything. Then I pressed the power button and volume at this point it gives me 3 options ..
1) reboot
2) Wipe
3) load update.zip
First I did a reboot ... which did nothing but re boot the phone, then I applied the update.zip and it failed and then I went to the Cyanogen Mod wiki page
on there is said to: "Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset. "
so I did that and then tried to install the update.zip ... which failed ... and basically erased my phone like the noob I am
So can someone please help me and tell me what Im doing wrong? also I installed titanium back up this time around to back up my apps.
Sounds like ClockworkMod Recovery did not flash. Try flashing it again in Rom Manager.
Should have been posted in Q&A
Thank you. Ill try that.
Sorry for not posting in Q&A as i didnt know about it ... Im new here so please forgive me.
Might be Clockworkmod ROM Manager...
I had all sort of problems with 2.1.0.5 and can't use any of the backups I created with it (they just hang when I try to restore them).
Everything seems OK with 2.1.0.6 though...

I reflashed Clockworkmod and that fixed it ... it flash the CyanogenMod rom, but once I was on there the radio wouldnt work, to I went back in re flashed the recovery.

You had issues too? I couldn't restore any of my backups the other day as well.
Yeah, I was having random problems with my backups... took me a while to realize it was only my newer backups.
Finally worked out that it was the version of ROM Manager. Older versions work great, as does the latest...

CM requires the 4.06.00.12_7 radio. Go to settings - about and look at the baseband version, that is your radio version. Also keep in mind most ROM's will not setup your APN, you will have to do that manually. I thought CM did, but I have not used it in a while. I am addicted to Enomther's ROM.
Hi all. Yes I am a Noob first ever post in fact. I am however good at following directions and reading first. So far found nothing to address my issue.
Intro: First time flashing a Custom ROM although I did previously successfully install Cf-Root and Stock ICS from Sam Mobile using excellent instructions found here.
Background: 1) Decided to move from Rooted Stock ICS to new Aliance ICS -- spent all weekend reading up before developing courage to attempt. 2) Today Successfully downgraded to Gingerbread (Flashing the Darky Resurrection rom and following instructions exactly). 3) Uninstalled DarkyOTA and Cleared app data as specified in instruction 4) Installed Alliance OTA and ROM Config as specified 3) Successfully flashed a XXLPY repack via ODIN per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27199210&postcount=4instructions 5) Copied the Alliance ICS Rom Zip to external SD 6) Went into CWM as instructed and flashed file.
Result: received notices -- Preparing for Installation ... Cleaning the phone etc -- through to "Installing Extra Apps" ----- Have been staring at this part for 45 minutes now as no progress has been made.
Current situation: Staring dumbly at phone with fading hopes that the process will complete. Wondering how long my Mugen battery will hold out while I wait. Utterly clueless what to do next. Regretting my courage in attempting this.
Can someone help please?
Where did u come up with DARKY ICS it should be Alliance ICS, just recheck because DARKY ICS is for S2 did u flash S2 rom on Note......

Download the Alliance rom again and reflash it, you might have a corrupted rom.

Thank you ---- I will try --- but first how do I get out of this hung install --- no button works --- if I just power down or pull the battery out before this flash has finished , will my phone still be usable?

Haven`t you made a cwm recovery (backup) before you went to flash the rom.
If so pull the battery, wait 30 seconds, insert the battery and go in recoverymode and restore your backup. If there is no backup go in downloadmode and reflash a stock rom and reroot this rom and start over.

Ok -- and thanks again. The Good News is after pulling and reinserting the battery the phone booted up and into Alliance (it looks fantastic by the way) and appears to be working. A bit scary as the Flash process itself never actually completed. Since I am as of yet unfamiliar with the ROM I have no idea if I am missing anything (mostly just the wall paper and google search, play store, and Nova settings are displayed --- but app drawer has 49 apps and 36 widgets). So now I would be very interested in opinions as to ---
1) Anyway to validate whether EVERYTHING that was supposed to have flashed on this Rom is in fact there? Or can I assume that since the phone has booted up and is working in terms of voice and data connections that I have been lucky and all has gone well after the initial panic?
2) Related to the above should I reflash this ROM over itself to see if it fully completes this time?
Thank you again.
Congrats on getting past the hanging issue - it is always a nervous time when that happens. I would recommend you reboot the phone and check that it starts up again. If all is good, run with current system for a few days. If you start to notice anything wacky then would be the time to reflash ROM.
I'm a firm believer in "If it ain't broke don't fix it" Hopefully your Note will just work now.
Just before reflashing just confirm if you are fully rooted, install root explorer and check if u can paste in system if yes then for safety purposes just flash abyss 4.2 redpill kernel boot into the kernels cwm and perform wipe and reinstall the rom

Thank you for the feedback. As it stands I Re-flashed again ---- and the flash hung again (this time @ "Cleaning phone". Started over a 3rd time and it went through perfectly.
No idea why the first two attempts failed -- but it looks like I am good to go.

Thank you for the suggestion. Per my post above, I think I am sorted out now.
I've got the same problem, are you on speedmod kernel???
Try to mount system and data from the mount menu.
I hope this can help you
I have the same problem... First I installed successfully the ROM but then i messed up something and my phone started to restart and then I went to recovery, Wiped Cache, Dalvik and then Wiped data, then i mount Data, started installing and it went to Installing extra apps and just froze... I hold the power button and it booted alliance rom only with nova launcher... No other launchers... I want to do this again but im afraid if it is going to get even worse Should I try again of doing this? I'm sure that the rom wasn't corrupted because the first time it worked... Shall i try flashing HydraCore and then flash alliance rom again?
EDIT: I've just flashed it again and it worked.. I have no idea what exactly happend, but it doesn't matter - it worked
Hi,
I have a rooted XT862 - right now with stock rom rooted.
Safestrap v2.1 is installed.
I can boot into safestrape, wipe all data / flash the rom ( CM10 ) but if I select after flashing reboot, I end up in the stock rom, still rooted o0
Even with wiping all data / settings - nothing is deleted ?
Thats a bit strange maybe someone can tell me how to fix it.

I did and flashed it - worked - but than phone crashed and now stuck at boot logo ( Motorola Dual core whatever... )
Trying now to figure out how to get it back to live again :?
Sometimes even the logo don't show up.
unbrik with m+ power does nothing.
can't get past the logo
Flashed my TPT and Note like 1000 times all worked well easy and never had any trouble but this motorola :/
Might have to SBF, reroot, install Safestrap, boot into Safestrap, create ROM slot, and wipe and install. But first try the power+M key, BP tools, and see if it will get you to Safestrap.

without sim and micro SD I can get in the m + powerbutton menu.
Doesen't I select in the fast boot menu, it simply does nothing and after a few seconds it will end up at the logo again stuck
nvm after severals tries it is now flashing back to stock verizon.
So in a few min. I'll have the OTA 5.6.890 on it.
So whats the way to get in non crashing / briking to the CM10 mod for it?
I know there are a million posts about this, but I have been through them all trying to follow the guidance because the problems seemed to be the same as others have faced, but I feel differently now....
I unlocked my HTC one, following the htc dev site.
I installed TWRP (I cannot for the life of me get CWM to load into reovery, it only reboots the phone...)
loaded the roms/Super SU onto the SD card.
I know my phone is rooted (or i should assume?) because SuperSU is requiring me to grant access to apps and such.
I flash the custom ROM to the phone, install the package following Revolutions steps. Complete installation, return to fastboot menu. Flash boot.img, clear cache and reboot phone....Phone goes to the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen, with the development message at the bottom and continues to reboot over and over and over from there.
What did I do wrong?
I know pretty much have a phone that wont work because even after restoring it, it is ina boot loop after it fully boots up and nothing is loading correctly. Is there any way to start this from scratch?
Notes:
I tried doing an ADB sideload of Revolution HD.
I do a factory wipe before i load any rom....
Edit:
I have tried multiple ROMS...all the same effect....
I also get the message after installing the ROM from TWRP that "your device is not rooted, swipe to install superSU" so sometimes i swipe it, sometimes i dont...either way same result.
Update #2:
I flashed a ROM called 42ONE....it ended up successfully booting past the HTC screen and is currently updating the android system...However, it will operate for about 2 minutes then the phone reboots like it was before when i tried to restore....what the heck?!?
There is no need to flash the boot.img in fastboot. Just flash the rom from twrp.

Download the rom again (might be a bad download), transfer to your sdcard, do a full wipe, and flash again. Something you flashed has created a conflict.
Edit: That's a Sprint ROM. Do you have a Sprint phone? If you've been flashing GSM roms, that's your problem there.

problem resolved so far. REflashed stock rom, relocked device. its working for now.
This has probably been said 1000 times before, but, I'm an idiot.
Now that we got that out of the way, perhaps you fine folks will help a dummy out?
About a year ago, I followed this guide and was successful in all that it deals with (unlocking bootloader, root, installing custom recovery and flashing custom rom).
My phone started acting a little buggy lately, (probably because I had less than 5 gb of space left? ) so I decided I wanted to just wipe everything and start "fresh".
I went into TWRP, wiped EVERYTHING, (wipe/advanced wipe/checked everything (dalvick,system,data,internal,cache) rebooted into recovery, sideloaded the newest Pure Nexus ROM and GApps zips, flashed both. After flashing new ROM, tried to reboot system, a message appeared saying it appears I do not have supersu installed, would I like to install it now? or something to that effect.
I wiped for"yes", phone turned off, then was stuck on the animation screen (swirling/color dot things) when tying to boot up.
Hold power button down till shut off, then restarted in recovery, wiped EVERYTHING (again), re-flashed the ROM, only this time said "no" to the supersu install screen.
Phone loaded up and is running perfectly.
However, I am no longer rooted???
I wasn't aware wiping everything in TWRP would remove root.
I'm confused because as I already said, I'm a dummy!, but when following the guide, I should root, then install a custom recovery.
My question is, do I only need to concern myself with the one step for rooting with CF-Root
since I already have a recovery installed, or am I going to need to re-install TWRP after rooting and then re-flashing the ROM and GApps?
I'm sure you folks are probably sick and tired of fools like me who just blindly follow along with XDA's [HOW TO] threads without knowing what or why we are doing what we are doing, but I appreciate you all just the same!
Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

That's correct. No in twrp - is needed when there is already a SU in the flashed rom.
Probably you have not the most recent version of twrp.
In play store there are apps to check if you have root acces.
You can also go to the launcher and start the superSU app

.....makes note for NEXT TIME I have been eating dummie bears!
As NLBeev said, you are probably using an outdated version of TWRP. It doesn't ask about su any longer.
