I rooted and flash my nexus one with a rom that was based on the cm7 nightly. It installed completely and I rebooted. It gets past the static x but loops in the moving x. I've tried so many things over the past 8 hours I need help to get a rom working on this. I tried going through the fastboot. Tried using recovery to update from sdcard and I'm having no luck getting this to work again. Hopefully someone on here knows how to fix my problem so I can get a working rom on my phone. Thanks everyone.
Did u install recovery (amon or clockworkmod?? If you did just dload another rom, wipe and flash again
N1
When I originally did the install I installed clockwork and did a back up. When I go into recovery all I can do is either wipe data, update from sdcard and wipe cache. I'm about ready to pull my hair out. I have no clue what went wrong. I've installed new roms on my old phones and no problems, I follow all the instructions.
nandroid, wipe all, retry flashing.
or restore your nandroid backup.
Looking at "adb logcat" while its booting will pinpoint the error.
I've tried to go through fastboot to use my recovery image but I get failed (remote: signature verify fail). I don't know how to get into nandroid and my computer I can only use the fastboot not adb to use logcat. Is there a way to use the fastboot that doesn't come up with the signature fail. I really don't know what happened. What other ways can I use my recovery image if I can't do it from the physical phone?
Sounds like a bad backup. DId you verify MD5?
If you want to start over..
Download AmonRa Recovery 2.2.1. From thread below...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829
With phone in fastboot mode and connected to PC via usb:
1. Command Prompt: fastboot devices (make sure device is connected)
2. Make sure recovery image file is in your SDK/tools folder
3. Make sure your working directory is SDK/tools folder
4. Command Prompt: fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img
5. After flash is done, reboot to recovery.
6. Wipe everything.
7. Re-flash your ROM.
You can always go back to Clockworkmod if you want. Just re-flash clockwork recovery.
thanks for the help but I'm still getting the signature verify failed even with the new recovery img.

Did you unlock your phone (fastboot oem unlock) or did you just root it?
If you haven't unlocked your phone, perhaps try that then use the previous instructions to flash clockwork or amon recovery image.

Dude, thanks sooo much. Unlocking the bootloader did the trick. I almost had to go buy a new phone. If you lived in the San Jose area I would buy you a beer.
Make sure you add to his "Thanks" meter! BTW. That would have been my next suggestion...

Hi I am a newbie here and I have a Nexus one.
After unlock and rooted, i tried to enter the recovery mode. But I encounter problem. I cannot get into the green recovery mode. Instead I got an exclamation mark (!) warning with a little android standing on side of the mark. Can anybody tell me what I did wrong?
Thank you,
Jack
Did you flash amon-RA-1.7.0 yet?
You didn't install a custom recovery image. See the rooting guide here and it tells you how to do that.
No.. I only unlocked and rooted.
But I am not sure if my phone is rooted because it doesn't indicate that the phone is rooted after i run the superboot.bat file. The command prompt only came up for a sec and then gone.
When I open my phone. It is just like a new Nexus One. Except for unlocked sign when I boot up.
Thanks for the help

It's unlocked, now flash the recovery image, back-up, then wipe and flash Rom.

7. Flash Amons RA Recovery Image from here
Hi, thanks for the tip
I was able to boot into the recovery image and do a back up from there.
Now I am trying to flash the image into my Nexus one. But when I type fastboot-windows flash ... it says unknown partition and cannot recognize the file name..
can you please help again? thanks.
The terminal method from the phone is probably easier for you to do.
Most likely you didn't cd to the correct directory where the file is from command prompt. Give us a picture of what you did and the error and the steps you took to get to the point you are at because the guide and programs work.
hi.. i spent a lot of time reading and trying.. finally this is what i did to make it work
Step 1. fastboot-windows boot recover image file <-- this is how to got into recovery mode and back up
Step 2. fastboot-windows flash recovery recovery.image.file.name <-- this replace my original recovery flash and the little annoy android man is gone
I did backup again after Step 2. By now I think I realize that Step 1 is the same as Step 2. But no harm backing up two times..
I then installed a new rom into my N1.. everything looks fine now.. i will go ahead and try out some features..
Thank you for all the advices
Hej guys. I really hope that you can help me with my problem
Have been trying for 2 days and looking at post but haven't been able to get it fixed.
Here goes.
I have been playing around with custom roms on my htc one for a while now.
Then when i was about to install a new custom rom, i first wiped my phone.
I properly wiped something that should not be wiped, because i ended up with no os and no custom rom zip file that i could install in twrp.
I then tryed sideloading revolutions, and it seemed to work because it ended up booting on the phone and i could select what programs too install with it... but halfway through it stoped and rebooted.
now i cant even get into recovery anymore, and booting the phone only gets it to htc briliant logo. Then it restarts and tryes going into recovery, but it cant, and ends up just restarting over and over again.
Tryed flashing cwm and twrp again, but still cant get into recovery.
adb dont fint my device, and i have tryed all drivers i could find.
Tryed using a RUU, but it fails. Properly because its not the right one, but cant fint one that fits.
Sooo... i think im in a real pickle right now.
my radio is :4a.14.3250.13
hboot: 1.44.0000
Thinking about going back with my phone, but with the warranty gone i dont know if they'll even look at it.
Hoping for some advise, or some ideas on what to do.

So I'll try here first. I am having the same issue, I can't get the device to boot into recovery, no matter if I clear the cache, or flash either one of twrp or CWM.
I unlocked the bootloader, I think used the all in one toolkit to flash the recovery. When that didn't work, I erased the cache and manually flashed the recovery, and it said it pushed successfully.
I am at a loss, I have no idea what to try next, any help would be appreciated.
******Finally got it, I had to disable Fast Boot in the Power options in Settings******
How do you copy update.zip from external to internal SD?
Sorry if it's a total no-brainer, but how do I manually copy a recovery zip to the internal update.zip? Can I do this from my phone (which is stuck in a bootloop: see below)? Or do I have to use ADB with my computer?

My situation:
Using Open Recovery I tried to install CM7 with custom kernel on my XT720
It gave an error: "assert failed: write_raw_image... Status 7" As I was looking that up, my phone blackscreened. After a while I pulled the battery.
Then on startup it went into a bootloop after a picture of a broken screen saying "2ndboot kernel restart in progress." (Presumably the kernel wasn't properly applied?)
Trying to boot into bootloader says battery is too low.
Phone will only turn on when plugged into outlet.
What I think I need to do:
- Copy a good update from my external SD over the bad update.zip on the internal SD, and apply the update to reset the kernel, etc.
- Open Recovery could do this, if I could load it.
- I could load Openrecovery if I could get the bootloader to run,
- I could get the bootloader to run if my battery would charge
I followed the video tutorial and when I flash recovery, then proceed to boot into recovery it fails to boot into recovery, it just flashes then boots like normal when I perm root. I don't know what's going on. I tried the clear cache command with no response.
I have searched and didn't find anything.
Anyone able to help please?
It is most likely you did something wrong when you flashed the recovery img, just follow the tuto again and make sure to follow each step.
Here is a guide made by mike: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618
I have done that. Tried a few times. I am fairly "in the know" with rooting ect, but I just can't figure this out.

Did you reboot after flashing the recovery or did you just go straight into it? I had the same problem and what fixed it is rebooting after flashing the recovery 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'.

Tried that to.
When I press perm root, it just reboots normal like recovery doesn't even exist.
Have you tried flashing stock recovery and trying to boot in it? I know that doesn't fix anything, I am just curious if your device will actually boot into any recovery state at all. I have read on XDA about some devices not being able to boot into recovery for some reason.
Here's the stock recovery, just in case: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38504123
Okay give me a shot at that.
I noticed after flashing recovery, mine doesn't tampered like it should?
The stock recovery says it's not available anymore.
If it doesn't say TAMPERED then the recovery must have not been flashed to begin with and that is why it's not booting into it. Which recovery are you trying to install? I use TWRP 2.5.0 and I flashed it with fastboot then restarted and it booted fine. My device is S-ON, by the way, and running Trickdroid 7.5.
US Developer Edition Recovery: http://d-h.st/b5g
T-Mobile Recovery: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hvs38223dfrzsny/recovery_tmobile.img
I am not sure if either one will work with your device since I am guessing it's international? But they might be worth a shot.
Never mind, I found the stock international recovery for you: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22045273/htc1-stock-recovery.img it was on page 4 of the thread. Give it a go.
I flashed the stock recovery and it still boots like there is no recovery there. and it doesn't say "tampered"
This is crap
EDIT: Yeah I figured it's not being flashed since it's not tampered, but no matter what I try it won't flash.
I'm navigating to the folder: CD C:\One_All-In-One_Kit_v\Data\Recoveries then typing fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and it doesn't work.
It says it's flashed ect, but doesn't boot into it, nore show tampered.
This is very weird and unfortunately I do not know the solution to that. I do not use the All-In-One-Kit, actually, but just a mini-SDK with fastboot files inside. I use shift + right click and "open command prompt window here" rather than navigate to the location, it's just much easier that way. Can you try flashing the latest TWRP recovery?

I just downloaded TWRP and flashed it ( fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ) it said all the jabber, like it worked, rebooted and still no "tampered" just reboots like nothing ever happen.
I give up.
Would ADB be any better?
Ugh man that's horrible. I honestly do feel your frustration because I have faced similar situations with my HTC devices (One X and One) countless times, and it sucks because you know the correct steps yet it's not working. I sure hope someone knowledgeable about this can come in and help you. Best of luck.
EDIT: I have only used ADB to sideload a ROM but I don't know about flashing recoveries. If you know how to do it, then why not? It's worth a shot for sure.
EDIT #2: And if you're not familiar with ADB, this article should get you started: http://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android-debug-bridge-utility/
Make sure you follow all the steps to the word and also install HTC Sync Manager for the proper drivers to be loaded.
I know right, driving me nuts.
I've never done adb to flash a recovery before but don't know if I would want to be the pidgeon to try lol

There seems to be another method for flashing recoveries besides fastboot.

This is an HTC Evo section but it could work for the One as well, although I am not sure of it. I have done some Googling and I did not come across any articles/threads saying that it is possible to flash a recovery using ADB, so that might not be possible.
Hi guys. Was just trying to install a 4.4 custom rom on my HTC One using CWM. I got into rrecovery mode and started trying to install the rom but it came up with an error saying it had aborted. I realised I hadn't made a backup so I thought I best do it in case anything goes wrong. I tried doing that and rebooting the phone. Now the HTC logo flashes on screen before flashing off and then the phone puts me back in recovery. Have I bricked this phone? If anyone can help me I can answer any more necessary questions.

You need TWRP 2.6.3.3 (or later) for 4.4 roms, also if you are using a GPE rom, then you need to be s-off.
Download from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7 don't use a download manager, it will fail; download normally and check MD5 to make sure file is not corrupt,
go to bootloader/FASTBOOT USB, and flash it:
fastboot flash openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and install the ROM again.

Unfortunately, TWRP and CWM backups aren't interchangeable but you can always flash back the proper recovery for the backup, and restore.

So I'm guessing your stuck in the bootloader. This should be a fairly easy fix. I'm not available for Skype at the moment but as I say should be an easy fix.So lets get some prerequisite's out of the way first.
Do you have access to a pc with working adb/fastboot?
I see the bootloader is unlocked, is it running a custom recovery and if so which one (name and version please)

Once your up and running if you want to go back to stock you can use this Nandroid Backup http://www.htc1guru.com/2013/11/stock-backup-3-23-666-1/
Alternatively you could use it instead of the Rom in my other post but the push is a little more complicated. Where as once the device e is booting you can just drop the nandroid in the correct folder using MTP on your pc.
hmmm

Check the Md5 of your download, you can get a checker tool here www.winmd5.com the correct MD5 is MD5sum: 72067aefb69541d40e8420d7aa46408d
If it doesn't match download it again :good:

Your device has an Internal Sd card. But that stock zip I'd not a Rom, you can't flash it like a Rom. It a Nandroid Backup so it needs to be restored using TWRP.
You need to get TWRP to flash, try updating your your adb/fastboot. You can check your current version by typing
Code:
adb version
In the command window. Latest is 1.0.31 :good:

to flash twrp boot in bootloader/fastboot usb mode and flash trwp recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then boot in recovery and use adb push like the others suggested before:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard
and then install the rom, reboot and youre done.
