running rod's miui rom and was trying to remove excess crap via titanium pro. when trying to remove facebook it would reboot and give an error message about signature failure. so i thought i'd see if it would successfully remove a different app. rod included a fancy widget app that i had no desire for. when trying to remove that, it did a number on my n1. i cannot get into the recovery mode or anything.
this is a video of what the phone now does. no matter if i pull the battery or what.

That's an interesting one.
When you turn it on - this is the first thing you see? No "X" at all?
Did you try ADB to see if it sees the device?
Looks just like radio flash, but with radio flash there are no recovery messages, if I remember correctly.
no, i get the un-animated X, and then it goes straight to this. regardless if i hold down the trackball or not.
what do i need to do to try to adb to it? i don't fool with adb ever, just when i first rooted/unlocked it.

i took enoms rom, renamed it update.zip and placed it on the sdcard. still nothing, same thing.
if i press the powerbutton whilst on the android out of the box thing it says.
"ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0
Finding Update Package........
Opening Update Package.......
Verifying Update Package......
Installing Update....."
this is shown in the video, but blurry and hard to read.
well, if im doing things right..... adb remount said it successfully did so.
(edit) ok, i can definitely connect via adb, i just ran the reboot bootloader command and the phone rebooted..... albeit back to that stupid looping screen.
any other ideas folks...... i'm up against a wall here.
i am able to get this in terminal

You need a rom that can be flashed as an update.zip, most are not flashed that easy. Can you get into fastboot?

well, i cant get to the recovery screen to initiate fastboot. if i use adb reboot-recovery it just reboots the phone and goes back to the looping crap i'm stuck at.
if i try any fastboot commands, i get nothing. i just can't get it to do anything other than respond to adb commands.
a fella from nexus one forums suggests that perhaps my bootloader is messed up and needs to be restored? that sound possible?
That was this fella, and I'm actually more convinced that the recovery is stuck trying to do an update... xD

haha. the omnipresent danger-rat is indeed the fella.
I was hoping Jack or Rusty would be here to check my logic...
Here's what we believe so far:
1 - phone appears to be in recovery, and trying to install an update.
2 - phone is in recovery, so adb is (kinda) working.
3 - there's no update.zip on the SD card.
4 - trying to overwrite the recovery via adb gives a "device or resource busy" response...
My guess is that if the install process can be killed, then you should be able to re-gain control?
...I've no idea how to kill processes via adb... :-(

i'm not entirely sure what i did......... but i think i have it. i transfered amon's 1.7.0 img to the sdcard and aptly renamed it recovery.img. after just now trying to restart to see if i could get fastboot to do anything it must have found the recovery.img and reflash amon. i'm looking at amons recovery now as i type.
i just rebooted and now i'm back into rods miui...... phone is working fine.

once the apps are deleted:

go to settings--> manage applications
and delete any leftover files pertaining to the programs you just deleted
Reboot
Then reboot and make a backup
*EDIT*
You may need to reboot after removing the programs for those file to show up in Manage Applicaions

So I have a bit of an issue. Over the weekend my power button stopped working like it has for many people.
I finally got to a computer last night and was able to turn it on using a method I had read about.
I was using madaco's desire port but I didn't have the option for wake with trackball baked into it. Which I need to have my phone usable. So I had another ROM baked on his site with that option in it but I forgot to tick the option to have the .zip signed. (I'm using an older recovery, had been to lazy to update)
I didn't realized it wasn't signed until I had go into recovery, wiped everything and then attempted to flash at which time it said no because it wasn't signed. So I said F it I'll do it in the morning.
So today I realized I can't boot the phone up because I had wiped everything, including the ext partition. It just sits at the X screen with the unlocked paddle lock on it. Due to this I can't access it with ADB to get to recovery.
If I restart the phone and put it into HBOOT I can't select recovery because you have to press the power button to select the option.
I also tried finding a fastboot command to boot into recovery but didn't locate one.
SOO
Does anyone have a clue how I can get this damn thing into recovery? I'm normally really good with this stuff but I am stumped at this point.
And before anyone says it I can't exchange it because my screen is cracked.
If you can grab a kernel and and recovery image on your PC you can boot them using
fastboot boot <kernel image> <recovery image>
Is that going to get me to a point where I can flash a new rom on it? I was running all of my cache on SD so when I wiped it is messed the rom up.
It already has Amon_RA recovery on it, the release prior to the newest one. So do I really need to flash another one to it?
All I can think of is possibly reverting to stock via the passimg method, but I can't remember if you need to use the power button to confirm during the process?
Once you have a working ROM, you can root via superoneclick, and install superboot to boot into recovery.
Problem is, you'll then have a stock recovery...
Once you're booted and rooted though, you can always use adb, or ROM Manager right?

Yeah that's the route I'm thinking about taking. But I think there are option you have to use the power button to confirm.
I'm messing around with different boot.img right now to try and get it to boot. If I could just get the damn thing to boot I'd be all set cause I can use adb from that point. But right now when it stops at the X screen ADB can detected the phone but if you try to access the shell you get "failed to link /system/bin/sh
Thanks for the input man
If your bootloader is unlocked, you can re-image with fastboot.
Also, if you're not unlocked, I'm pretty sure the passimg only selects options with the volume keys...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I went with the superboot method. When I ran the .bat files it restarted the device and put it into recovery. I flashed a fresh ROM from there.
It's made it to the boot animation so I'll see if it fully boots up in a minute .
Okay, I'm back in action. Thanks for the in put guys.

I'm pretty sure you do. It says you'll probably need to as a foot note in the directions for superboot.
I may be wrong, I haven't kept up on much relating to rooting the Nexus since it first came out.
I think you're probably right... Thanks!

Okey, before FRG83D I rooted my phone with SuperOneClick. Then I decided to go back to the original ROM, and update to FRG83D. As you know, this revoked my root access. So now I unlocked the bootloader and ran Superboot. However I don`t get rooted. My suspicions are that because my old Superuser apk is left, something goes wrong. Plz help me figure this out!

Are you telling me there is NO way to root 2.2.1 ? :O
No, I think the other guy is just thinking of a root-without-unlock method.
You are already unlocked. So it's just a matter of changing the system correctly to root it. Easiest way is to probably flash an already rooted stock build over it. (I assume you want to remain stock)
Or at least you need to find the correct way to root 2.2.1, which is hard because there are probably a lot of people out there looking for a root without unlocking, so that will pollute your search results.
Edit: Of course, I could be way off base and not know what I'm talking about.
Yup, flash a rooted stock rom, like Geo's.
I still don't know why people love to make things harder on themselves than it needs to be lol.

Not familiar with Adblock, but if it is similar to AdFree it just works by replacing your /system/etc/hosts file with one that directs every advertising address to the loopback address, thus preventing the apps from loading. If that file was in place before you lost root, it will continue to block ads for you.
Okey, but if I just want to flash CM, what do I do? Can't get to recovery :/
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
You're unlocked, right? Super easy :-D
Download a recovery *.img (or extract it from a recovery .zip).
Reboot your N1 to fastboot mode (press and hold VOL-DOWN while powering on - press Power to select Fastboot USB when the option is presented).
Connect your USB cable.
Run fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (replacing "recovery.img" with the appropriate file name). When complete, you have an aftermarket recovery again.
Boot to recovery and install whatever ROM you want

I'm afraid you'll have to be more descriptive than that.
HOW are you trying to boot to recovery? There are several methods:
1) Issue the adb reboot recovery command
2) Boot to the bootloader (press and hold Volume-Down while powering on), use the volume keys to scroll down to Recovery, and the power button to launch it.
3) Use an application like Quick Boot to reboot directly to recovery from the OS, though that may require a working root.
Have you tried these methods? If so, what happened? What did you see on the screen?
Number 2. Just seeing an Android and a triangle.

Then that is the stock recovery. Flashing a third-party recovery was not successful. Did you receive any error messages from the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img command?

Just as a posted on another thread, now my phone is running android1.1, after i turned the screen off, i can no longer wake it up by pressing any button or sliding keyboard, but the keyboard light can be lighted...
What do you mean by "turned the screen off" turned the phone like completely off or just put it to sleep? If you flashed, then check to see if your radio/spl matches up to the roms requirements. If not, then thats the reason. If you just put it to sleep, try factory resetting your phone via holding power+home to get into recovery, then alt+w

It could be the rom youre using. Try updating to the latest radio/spl and downloading frosense or any of the cm7 roms. I dont think its the lcd. If it turns on at all, then the lcd's not the problem.

Well, the problem is updating recovery, i have tried many times, but after i flashed the recovery using fastboot or flash_image, the recovery mode cannot be displayed normally, only the last line" Build: 1.7.XX" can be seen, there's no items above. So i've no idea how to flash roms. Can i flash roms in the fastboot mode?
Are you rooted? If you are, then i have a solution for you.
Assuming you have root- Download ROM manager from the android market (the free version) and open it. It'll ask for superuser permissions. Click allow. then click flash clockworkmod recovery. Then itll give you a list of htc dream or magic. Click the dream and let it download. After it finishes, itll say "clockworkmod download complete" or something like that. Then theres another option on the app that says "reboot into recovery" click that, and flash the recovery you want. I recommend that you just use cwm recovery as i am using it on my g1. .
If you dont have root, then.... I have no idea. Sorry. And no you cant flash via fastboot.

easy fastboot is just that; an easy way to use fastboot for the novice. also try droid explorer, a very simple to use program that may help you download what you need. both are free and easy to find links to - just google search or search these forums.

If your reset put you back to stock zv8 (check settings> about phone) then you will not be able to root/cwm.
You'll have to push the zv7 tot, root with zv7 aio, run bat in "easiest" thread, ota to zv8, run bat again for recovery.
Lots of steps but not terrible. All instruction is available in development. I'd post links but I'm on my phone and have been awake going on 24hrs now. I reserve the right to be slightly lazy. Ha

I have dl and installed that version. It did find super user and installed. That being said it still gets stuck on that screen. I think perhaps I have deleted factory rom. I have been watching vid on installing Viper rom but it kinda brushes over moving the file to the phone. I assume it is a fastbook flash command? I get a unknown partition error and cannot determine image if i do that. Help has been great so far thanks all.
See if this post helps you

are you able to get into bootloaer in recovery?
Yes I can do almost anything but get the damn thing to work. Now the phone will go directly to twrp at start up. I can get usb otg to mount and start to load zip. But it hangs and reboots before it extracts. My thought is root hasnt taken do to wrong img file on front end. So my thought is to reinstall ruu and if I get it to go and try rooting afterwards. ??????
