need help (recovering nexus one)

Hello
i have a problem with my nexus one,
i tried to install some theme's and it whent horribly wrong.
when ever i boot my nexus one it tells me prosesses have stopped unexpectedly, and it shuts down again. and it stays in this loop.
now ive tried to recover my phone a few times with
"fastboot devices"
"fastboot flash recovery "image file""
how ever the command promt doesnt go beyond "waiting for device"
i think the problem is that USB debugging is turned off, is there any way of turning this on without haveing to go to settings ? (couse yeh i cant get there)
please help me on this one
hope im not totaly f-ed
//Duvel
sorry if there are typo's im dutch

did you put the phone into fastboot mode, before you tried the fastboot command? and second, why are you flashing the recovery image? that won't fix you phone
i think you should try a factory reset, either by flashing your rom again or by selecting some option. what rom do you have installed? stock? if not, which and which recovery image do you have installed? there is an option in amon_ra's image do factory reset. i never used the stock recovery, but there should be an option to wipe there as well. anybody?
ps: please stop using fastboot and adb commands, if you are don't know what you are doing, before you brick your phone.

i used the following guide to root
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636795
i just stoped at the part where the sence ui was installed,
yes i put my phone into fastboot mode but again i think the problem is that i cant enable USB Debugging

ok i just recovered my phone with the following image
"CyanogenMOD version : recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0-cyan.img"
how ever im still getting unexpected application stops,
com.android.setupwizard
com.android.bluetooth
com.android.callender
com.android.mms
any idea on how to restore them ?
maybe its usefull to know i tried to use the morph "BlackMatteMorph"
from the following thread "forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654858"
//Duvel

got it fixed now
thanks alot FloOGB some of your pointers realy helped me out,
i fixed it by installing the drivers provided by th3fallen
"forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=613217"
after that i followed the following steps got from from a post of Jeremy Sikora
"forum.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-one-roms-hacks/7366-how-install-custom-roms-your-nexus-one.html"
im sure the same topic is on XDA somewhere, this was just the first website i got directed to by google
1.) With your device powered off hold down on the volume down rocker while pressing the power button. From there select "recovery".
2.) Once in recovery select backup/restore and choose Nand backup.
When that is completed you now have a backup image saved on your SD card in case you ever need to go back to the normal ROM.
3.) Now from the recovery menu select Wipe and then Wipe data/factory reset.
4.) Once the wipe is completed select Flash zip from sdcard to select the ROM you wish to install.
5.) Once the flashing process is completed simply reboot and enjoy your freshly flashed Nexus One!
i installed the rom: Cyanogenmod For Nexus One V5.0.6
"forum.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?/topic/150-cyanogenmod-for-nexus-one-v506-04152010/?"
sorry that you arent able to click the links im providing, im new to the forum and im not allowed to make direct links yet.
so thanks again FloOGB.

you're welcom, no problem
even if i didn't say anything that useful i think i would have never thought about drivers since i'm using only linux and it's sort of plug and flash here.

[Help] Bootloop and Corrupted Recovery

Hi Folks,
I had a CyanogenMod-6.1 for Nexus One :: V6.1.0-RC1 (10/28/2010) installed on my Nexus 1.
Prior to that i was using CM6.0 RC1 stable release. Did an upgrade (with full void and nandroid backup) to try out the new features.
However this afternoon, out of nowhere, my volume buttons and trackball started to malfunction.
i.e to say : I cannot adjust volumes in any part of the apps/phone and i can't select/click stuffs with the Trackball.
Hence, I thought of removing CM6.1. Here's the problem started.
#1. I can't boot into recovery. The phone itself will be stuck at the big "X" screen. After 5mins, it will boot into CM6.1
- Using ROM Manager i tried to reflash Clockwork Mod 2.5.1.0 for a couple of times but i still cannot get into Recovery.
Be it powering up with trackball held down, booting into recovery up via Rom Manager. Surprisingly, volume down was working together with power down was able to go into Bootloader
for me to select "Recovery", however, i still can't access Recovery.
#2. I tried using ./fastboot-mac flash recovery updatedclockwork.img also can't.
#3. I tried using Amon-RA. ./fastboot-mac flash recovery Amon-RA.img also to no avail.
#4. i used ./fastboot-mac update to load a StockFRF91 Froyo also can't get into recovery.
As of now, my phone is stuck continuously in bootloop, cannot access Recovery. I've tried almost 30+ fixes on XDA and other Android Forums but i still can't fix it.
Is there anyway, i can wipe everything inclusive of the "Corrupted Recovery" files and restore back my Nexus One?
Thank you all please save my phone! :'(

Dude I feel your pain. I have the exact same problem. I wonder if it is a CM6 issue?

Can someone help me get back into recovery?

Hi
I have been using Clockwork recovery for months and tonight was flashing ROM/zips as usual, and all of a sudden when I try to get into recovery my Nexus just sits on the colored X. When I pull the battery it reboots fine with the ROM I currently have installed. Then I go back into ROM manager, re-flash clockwork recovery: it says flash was successful, so then I choose to boot into recovery, and again it just sits at the blue, red, green and yellow X.
So then I tried a round-about way by going into ROM manager and choosing to restore a backup. Again, when I choose to restore backup it just boots to the colored X again and freezes there.
I've also tried the regular method of holding power button and trackball and get the same results.
Does anyone know why this might be happening? Right now I'm stuck with a ROM I was just playing with and didn't necessarily want to use permanently....I'm afraid I might be stuck with it forever now
Thanks for any help!!!

I've been searching and I should add that my bootloader is not unlocked

Try to flash your recovery manually, using the guide from my signature. Try Amon_RA's.

Well I ended up wiping all user data in fastboot and now I get nothing but an X nomatter what I do, won't boot at all.
All I can do is hold down the power button and trackball and get the page that says
bootloader
reboot
reboot bootloader
power down
the only way I'm going to get this fixed is to use my computer and I've never done it that way...I've always used ROM manager
I'll read the links but I think I'm screwed because a lot of this is over my head
Thanks for the links !

1) Try to follow "Unroot/restore" guide first, see if you can restore functionality using PASSIMG method. Once you have functional FRG33 with recovery, you can root it, replace the recovery and install custom ROM of your choice / update to FRG83G.
2) If nothing helps - consider a) replacing your phone, b) unlocking the bootloader and flashing recovery through fastboot.
Getting in over your head is sometimes a good way to expand your horizons

Hi Jack
Thanks for the help
I'll do some reading and see what I can do....got two feet of snow here so I guess I have the time
worst comes to worst I'm still under warranty.

Well I tried the instructions but nothing happens..it just sits on the screen with the androids skateboarding. I renamed the zip and moved it to my SD card but it doesn't seem to even search for it, let alone find it. Really wish I had not deleted storage. At least I had a working ROM at that point.

Which instructions did you try? Did you download FRG33, rename it to PASSIMG.ZIP (and not PASSIMG.ZIP.ZIP !), put it on the root of SD card and reboot to bootloader?

Hey Jack...
Sorry for taking so long to respond...I finally had to crash for awhile, my brain was frying.
Yes I did what you describe: downloaded FRG33, renamed it PASSIMG.ZIP(not ZIP.ZIP) moved it to SD card just like any ROM and held down volume and power button and came to the screen with the three androids. Then it just stayed there, nothing happened.
The only thing is I had to use my backup Nexus One(EDGE only on ATT model) to move it to the SD card as I don't know how to access the SD card with the device acting like this. If I connect the device to my computer while the three androids are on the screen, I hear it connect to the computer, but nothing pops up allowing me to access the SD card....
Like I said I'm a noob at this I appreciate you trying to help me here

About 3 seconds after the 3 androids skating appears, you should see some text flash up?
It does say you're in HBOOT and not FASTBOOT right? If in fastboot, pick the bootloader option and then it should find the file.

Hi Rusty
Sorry I somehow missed your post here. Yes I see some text flash up...takes a little longer than 3 seconds...maybe 8 seconds...
At first it says I'm in Fastboot, but then I press the power button and then it says HBOOT at the top.....that's when the text flashes on the screen. It flashes too fast for me to read it though....but nothing happens after the text flashes on the screen.

I'll be damned guys....I got it working! After responding to Rusty's post above, I decided to give the whole thing another try. Well I went thru the whole process of putting the file on the SD card and realized I had in fact renamed it zip.zip....it LOOKED like it was only ZIP, but when I clicked on the file while it was still on my PC, it said it was zip.zip...that's when I knew what the problem was.
My problem now is getting it re-rooted. Originally I used the Universal Androot application..the true one-click method...I just tried it again and it didn't work.
Is there a way to downgrade to a version where this app will work again?
Thanks guys you really helped me out here!!

Please read the guide in Wiki, and follow one of the zillion SuperOneClick threads that are around. It's really as simple as it gets - and if you happen to have Windows 7, it's even more simple - you won't need to install the drivers.

Yup I'm already rooted!!! Thanks man!!!! Took 12 minutes!!

Okay I'm having another issue: SuperOneClick said I was rooted,I have the superuser icon in my app drawer, but ROM manager will not flash Clockwork mod recovery and Titanium Backup says I do not have root rights??

well I rebooted and now have root rights but am still getting an error when I try and flash clockwork mod: it says: "an error occurred while flashing your recovery"

Do you have Busybox installed?

You're going to think I'm a dip**** but I don't even know what busybox is?

Let's just say it's an app that the system needs Go to Market, download and install it, try again. If it doesn't work - you can try to install custom recovery manually, using another guide from Wiki. Look in "Installing Recovery" for "For locked bootloader - flash_image using Terminal" guide. If you don't know what Terminal is - download "Android Terminal" by Jack Palevich from the Market.

Use the fix problems button in Titanium Backup to install it, long story short is it lets you use a bunch of native Linux commands that as missing from Android.

bootup problem

attempted root and used superboot grj22 from modoco pphone is unlocked and after double clicking on indows bat file as directed phone is locked on boot x
this phone has just come back from htc with a new power switch installed and 2.3.4.
anyway could use some help daughter is upset I locked her phone.
can get to boot menu however can not get into recovery. I get a triangle with exclamation in it
thanks

Please read the Wiki, Rooting guide for unlocked bootloader.
Flash recovery through fastboot.
Flash whatever ROM you want from recovery.
You've flashed a wrong kernel (which is contained in "superboot"), that's why you can't boot.

another question
read wiki and followed instructions which said after loading passimg that this was an older version. searched more and found another thread that gave a new file that was supposed to load the older version of the rom and get around the error "older version"
still not working any other ideas will be appreciated

Just to make sure I understand right you tried the frg83 passimg file and you got "main version is older" error? If so then can I just ask you is your bootloader unlocked (at the X screen before the cyanogen mod logo do you see an unlocked padlock)?

hi
yes padlock on screen is unlocked tryed to flash again and get the same error version is older
thanks for trying to help kid leaves for school tonight and is freaking

more
also askes if I want to reboot device

It'll be long fixed by then don't worry
Boot into bootloader then from there select the recovery option. Once there tell me what you see if you see and android with a /!\ next to it then press power and vol+ power slightly before. Then you will get a menu select power down. If you go straight to the menu tell me what color the writing is.

hi
get the triangle white with a orange exclamation in it

Ok then you'll need to flash a recovery via fastboot. So since you bootloader is unlocked I assume you already have the SDK set up and the drivers installed if not then I can help you with that too, but now just download this file and place it in the same directory as fastboot on the computer and download this file and put it on the root of your sd card (not in any folders).
Then boot the phone into fastboot (hold down the trackball while powering up) then connect the phone to the computer via usb and open a command prompt in the directory where you have fastboot. Then input these commands:
fastboot devices (this should return the s/n number from your phone)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (where recovery.img is the name of the first file you downloaded earlier)
fastboot boot recovery.img (same thing here)
The phone should then boot into recovery from there use the trackball to navigate go to flash zip from sd card then chose zip and chose the second file you downloaded earlier (the one you put on the sd card), after that wait for it to flash then press vol- to go back to the recovery main menu then select reboot system now and your all good you have stock with root access, if you want to flash a custom ROM then just ask I can explain that too.

As I've said, follow the guide FOR UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER.
You didn't.
The guide for unlocked bootloader is in Unroot/Restore section, called "using fastboot".
Actually, the only thing you need to do is to install recovery. Go to "recovery" guide - again, FOR UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER - and install Amon_Ra's recovery.
Once you have it, you can flash whatever you want, including stock ROM.

ok
everything is good except that i tryed to flash downloaded zip from sd and got error that zip is signed wrong also zip verifacation failed
again thanks excited I got this far.

so after this gets fixed than will phone reboot and go to 2.3.4 that was on there before?
will I be good to go for a new rom and last but least like the miuis and recommendations from an expert?
funny I bought the sensation and forgot how to do all this probably the pressure of the child (oh my god you wrecked my phone) Forgetting of course it was dads to begin with DARN KIDS

me dumb as a box of rocks toggled zip verifacation and ra unzipped.
afraid to push any buttons.
should I reboot?
and then Its ok to load a rom?
thanks
radio should be ok as it was just loaded from htc?

Ya you should be good don't worry you can't brick it by flashing something to the system partition only to the recovery and hboot partitions. Just select reboot system now and all should work fine.
Sorry for the late response I was away from my computer

still stuck on nexus x screen ??

earlier someone posted that when I used superbot I got the wrong kernel?
not sure but still stuck

just tryed to boot into recovery and it wouldnt go

Oh right sorry forgot an important step you kind of need a ROM my bad ok so forget about su you're going to need to flash a ROM I suggest cyanogen mod as a first ROM but it's up to you if you want miui or something then go for it. Here's a link to cm7 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31690913/android%20files/update-cm-7.0.3-N1-signed.zip
So to flash this simply boot into recovery then go to wipe, wipe all at least 2X I do 5X to make sure then just go to flash zip from sd card and flash the ROM.

In that case do like we did last time and reflash it through fastboot. Now sorry but I gotta go maybe someone else can come and help you if not I'll be back later tonight.

thanks
thank you so much for helping me with this got everything working including the new miui rom.
when you panic just a little you forget all the things you knew how to do before.
thanks again.

[Q] Bootloop hell

I apologize in advance if this same issue has been replied to elsewhere. I'm in kind of a unique situation and couldn't find an answer anywhere.
I'm got an N1 with 2.3.6 stock ROM, rooted. Recently I downloaded Titanium Backup PRO and while attempting to integrate dalvik cache to ROM, my phone rebooted into a bootloop. I'm assuming this is a bootloop. I get the colorful splash screen, it freezes for a second of two, then continues on, and on, and on....
Is there a way to get me out of this loopwithout having to wipe all my data, so I can backup all my stuff before I flash a custom ROM?
Everything I see about bootloops, mentions unlocking the bootloader and wiping all your data. I've seen downgrading using PASSIMG and loading stock rom. I'd really just like a simple way to get out of this loop hell and get my phone back up. It's in teh ship now getting it's power button fixed.
Thanks in advance

first thing i do on bootloops is pull battery
if no go pull battery and then pwr on by pressing pwr and trackball at same time--you can then get to recovery and maybe wipe dalvik and cache and reboot
i have never used TB for anything other than backup/restores, so can't help with dalvik integration

You might be able to fix it by wiping your cache from recovery.

Thanks for the advice! I'll give it a try as soon as I get my phone back from being fixed.

Hey guys, I hope you can help. I got my phone back with new power button, Yay! When I try to boot into recovery, teh Nexus X logo comes on for a moment and then I get a white triangle with an orange exclamation point. Do I need to use ADB to try and go to recovery and wipe my cache? I've never installed a recovery image. Do I need to do that or should there be a stock image already on my phone? Am I SOL?

One more thing that might help. I notice that when I go into HBOOT, the phone searching for 4 images from my SD card and can't find them. They go by too fast to write them all down but I think some are PASSIMG, PASSDIAG, etc. Again, do I need to load a recovery like clockworkmod on my phone first and then go into recovery to attempt to wipe my cache?

I get the same passimg all the time--no problem
If your phone came back from repair, you are probably unrooted and hence the triangle. At least that is the way I remember it, but has been two years since I rooted
If that is comfirmed by someone else, you wil need to reroot and install a recovery
A good time, if you haven't, to install android sdk and root/install recovery the right way and have full adb/fastboot features
there other ways I am not familiar with
does the lock show unlocked on the screen, they could have relocked bootloader
the wiki has the instructions, just have to navigate to the htc smartphones and N1

jus to make sure that if u still got root. install su checker app from play store and confirm.
if not root using SUPER ONE CLICK ROOT.
flash recovery (4EXT is good) www.4ext.net
do a backup and then flash the rom u want

Thanks I'll check. I only had teh power button fixed and not by HTC so I doubt they unrooted it. I'm still in a bootloop but I can use superoneclick still, so I'll give that a try.

so what I'm trying to do is wipe my cache without wiping my data. I don't think my bootloader is unlocked. Am I screwed?I'm in a bootloop, so I can 't install anything to the phone. I probably could put a recovery image on the SD card, but if my bootloader is locked, I'm guessing that won't work. I'm rooted. When I go to HBOOT, the phone looks for passim files and doesn't find them, then when I choose recovery I get the white triangle. I've try to flash a recovery image through ADB but I get an error, failed to load image. Again, is that a bootloader issue?
I'm almost at the point of just wiping my data and hoping I can get it all back somehow.

You really know nothing huh. The triangle is the recovery. Press power button and volume up at the same time, it will the show you some options like wipe cache.

Did you miss the "stuck in boot loop" part?

sorry,
meant that the triangle is your stock recovery--
you install recovery thru fastboot not adb
i would still, if you haven't, install android sdk on pc-unlock bootloader (fastboot oem unlock) and fastboot recovery--all in wiki
i think it was mentioned--holding down pwr and tb will get you into fastboot mode--phone connected and usb debugging selected on phone
you'll just have more flexibility with flashing roms etc and getting out of trouble
