Or see if you can boot into Recovery Mode, you may be able to do something there.

Yea see if you can boot into recovery and do a hard reset from there bud

I did a factory reset from recovery but it didn't work.

Where did you get it? You should have 30 days to switch phones
1. To pick a different phone
2. Or to swap from a thrill 4 a thrill
I've alrealy used 2 different phones from bestbuy I'm not sure how many times they allow you to do so I think once so I may be stuck with the thrill which is okay I really want the galaxy 2 tho..

this didnt recover mine either.
No big deal. Swapped mine out today. I will hold on to the phone til the GS2 comes out, and then im switching.

ADB isn't recognizing the phone either. I believe I left it in USB Debugging mode before this all happened, but maybe that got reset when I did the factory reset and therefore it isn't enabled anymore.

Isn't the SG2 RELEASING ON SEP 16?

you are correct... any setting you may have altered in your phone is saved in the phone's data partition... the build.prop which im assuming you edited is saved in the system partition.. a factory reset only wipes the data partition, this means the setting you enabled for usb debug is set back to default and the build.prop you edited is left the way you edited it in the system partition completely unaffected... best chance is to wait for a manual CWM

A few questions first:
What ROM did he try to flash?
Did he try to flash it through Clockwork Recovery or ROM Manager?
When you try to turn the phone on, does the backlight come on the screen or anything? Or does it just sit there without even making an attempt to turn on?
Flashing the wrong ROM would not hard brick your phone. The install of the ROM would simply fail. If anything, it sounds like your friend tried to flash a ROM and the battery either died or was taken out during flashing. Please post back so we can all try to help.

He is talking about me
I flashed it through CWM and went to restart and now the phone is dead
No lights nothing no vibrate it simply will not turn on
flashed it with
O2X FLAIR GB v4 REVOLUTION FINAL (based on LG v20L)
for optimus
From what I am thinking The power button is no longer assigned?
I am guessing

So the ROM flashed but when you went to reboot, that's when the phone froze up?
Are you 100% sure there was enough battery life when you flashed it? You really might have hard-bricked it. I figured the ROM would just simply fail installing because that's usually what happens.

I honestly don't know what to say. If the phone is completely unresponsive then it very well could be a hard-brick. The only thing you can do then is call Verizon, tell them that you had a software update for your Revolution and the phone shut off in the middle of the update and now will not come on at all. They'll probably send you a free one (hopefully). That's really about the only thing I can think of. Have you tried just plugging it in to see if it charges at all? Plug it in and see if either the screen will come on or you at least get the LED light to come on. If not then do what I said a second ago and call Verizon.

Yeah I get nothing, they are going to send me a new one. Thanks anyway.

Yeah I've been there, it sucks really bad. The reason why it happened other than the fact that the ROM is for a different phone, is because the ROM has a boot.img that is not compatible with the Revolution. So once you changed the boot.img the phone was no longer able to boot up. At least that's what I think about it.

No access to bootlader; CWM only on ICS

So, to avoid bricking my device I relocked the bootloader, used the stock RUU file and upgraded to ICS.
Worked as a charm.
Installed a custom ROM, worked fine.
Installed another one, was great.
And then I changed to Dark Raider (link) and after installation completes my device goes black entirely. I can access CWM Recovery and everything but not the bootloader menu or anything else.
No matter what other ROM I try to flash, it doesnt work, and I can't get RUU going because I can't access flashboot.
Any ideas?

Which kernel did you flash? Did you do any other steps before or after installing the last ROM like factory reset, etc. Just trying to brainstorm some ideas.

I flashed the boot.img as usual that comes with the ROM, then did all the wiping they say we should on the main thread, then flashed the ROM.
What is really weird is that this is something I've done countless times before and never had any trouble. Even on ICS.

Oh and the device is still recognised by the computer, although not by the RUU file itself.
CWM Recovery works just fine but nothing else.

How are you getting to cwm? Normally you only access it through hboot. Are you doing the button combo?

When I plug it in via USB, it automatically turns the phone on into CWM.
It's just like when they had that bug on CWM Recovery that wouldn't let us charge our phones when they were off without automatically going into Recovery.

I just want a way to make the RUU file recognise the phone so I can go back to stock. Anyone?

What exactly is that developer menu?
Because I've been everywhere in Recovery and can't seem to find Reboot into Bootloader. I find Reboot Recovery alright, into the Advanced options, and several ++GO BACK++s that leads me to nowhere. I keep pressing it while on the main screen of Recovery and it just blinks the screen and that's all.

By plugging in my phone into the computer via USB. It automatically goes into CWM Recovery.
I always try to follow the most up-to-date topics but rooting HTC Vivid on ICS was a bit weird and I used a tool I randomly came across with and had never used before, some SuperToolv3 or whatever it's called.
I was trying to flash the stoc AT&T ROM via .zip but apparently I can't access my external sd card via CWM due to the sweet fact that apparently iGo created a ext_sd folder by itself, and when I try to access the external sd card it goes into iGo's useless folder.
Grand.
I can't just return my phone to HTC since I bought this phone from a friend and over here it's not sold, and I'm not going to US or anywhere soon so I'm screwed.

Can't I just install the other recovery through the one I already have? Okay, I know the answer but I really had to try.

If you cant get into hboot then we have a big issue...cant flash anything....if we could get you into fastboot menu then we could get you at least back on the ruu....what does it do when you hold power and volume down buttons

You do know how to get into hboot right?
Unplug it from the USB. Pull your battery out put it back in. Then with it still unplugged from USB press and hold the volume down button while simultaneously holding down the power button. Keep holding them both down for a couple seconds then hboot should load up.

Yes, I do know how to get into hboot.
I press both buttons and nothing happens.
The RUU file was the 1st thing i tried, but it doesn't recognise the phone since it's not on the mode it should be for using the RUU.
Grrrr. And I'm not even in a country where this phone is sold so I really can't see how I'll get this fixed.

Well, I'm not THAT noob. I know how to do most things. I've played around with this phone for a few months now and never had a problem with it.
I flashed the kernel properly and then I flashed the Dark Raider ROM the way I always do. Do you think is there any possibility that this was caused by Dark Raider?
I couldn't've done anything wrong. I never did. I wouldn't wait months of practice to finally screw anything up now.

And it's funny 'cause a guy in the other topic (I kinda think it's the ROM's fault so I posted there as well, maybe the dev has any clue) told me I should plug the phone in and try to get into hboot.
Well, I tried just for the hell of it and obviously didn't work.
Every time I plug the phone in either to a charger or a computer I'm taken straight to CWM Recovery. Like that old bug it had that we couldn't charge the phone off without going into Recovery.
I left it in Recovery but I'm not sure if it's charging, the battery wasn't that low but after all this time it probably is now, so it doesn't hurt to leave it there.

But, like, if this was a complete brick I wouldn't even be getting into Recovery, right? And the computer wouldn't be recognising it.
Isn't there a way to access the internal memory of the phone through the computer? I'd like to try one last thing but iGo created a ext_sd folder inside the phone and now when I try to access the REAL external SD i'm taken to the iGo folder.
And I only saw that now.
Or maybe a way to make the phone recognisable by the RUU .exe file?
Apparently a series of unfortunate things led me to this.

[Q] nexus one does not boot, reset without power button

My nexus one cannot go through the splash screen during the boot process and keeps restarting over and over. The power button is not working on the device, so I can't use the recovery or any option in the bootloader that requires me to push the power button.
I cannot enable the debugging option, since I can't start the phone.
I was trying to use fastboot thingy, but it keeps coming with "FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)" or" FAILED (remote: not allowed)"
Any idea how to bring this phone back to life?

I'm experiencing the same thing, broken power button and endless bootloops. I'm rooted, but only on the most basic ROMs without any sort of way reboot into recovery. Any help would be great...

I would get power button fixed firstly, if I were you. Good luck anyway!

Connect your nexus to a charger, when led turns on pull the battery out, when led turns off put the battery in before led shows up again.
After you put the battery in correctly, just long press the trackball to get into hboot
After that just use the recovery to wipe and flash a new rom

Okay, so I made it into hboot, but please explain how I can get into recovery without a power button to select recovery.

use trackball and volup/down

Do you use blackrose?
If so, trackball works 100%

I don't use Blackrose, my ROM is a very basic form of MIUI from earlier this year and I haven't updated it since. I thought I would be able to use the trackball in place of the power button as well, but so far it's not working. Is there any other way to boot into recovery or another way to use the trackball instead of the power button?

Sorry I was wrong about it. The option is reboot-bootloader so there seems to be no way to boot to recovery directly in your case.
As to the message u got, you need to install android boodloader driver so that fastboot may work. But it can only lead u to hboot, not further.

Don't worry about it, It's cool... I loved this phone, had it since it came out back in January 2010, now I have to find a new one. I was checking out the HTC One S and X, and maybe the X+ if they ever release it, are those good upgrades to the Nexus One?

I'm not expert of hardware, but believe theses are way much better than N1 as you will have bigger screen, more cpu cores, larger RAM and internal storage size, and most impotant - ICS or jelly beans ROMs.

I tried one out today at a local T-Mobile store, it's a very nice phone but sorta disappointed me with the lack of transferable SIM and Micro SD cards. I'm gonna do more research on it but it's shaping up to look like my N1's replacement... :crying:
Oh well, it's been really good. The Nexus One has been easily the best phone I've had thus far and for the longest (2 years and almost 10 months).
Thank you all for the help in trying to recover it.

Finally, I was able to reset the phone by using the SD card. The steps are outlined here:
