[Q] Stuck at "X" - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I flashed the Cyanogen 7 Rom to my phone, and it worked great up until last night...
Last night, I go to check my phone and realize that it is stuck at the "X" displayed when booting up. Also, either the proximity or light sensor (not sure which one), is dimly lit red.
The phone will still boot into fastboot, and is recognized by fastboot when connected to a computer. However, adb will not recognize it. I've tried to recover using the PASSIMG.zip method but it just will not work.
Sorry to bother you guys, but I don't know what to do next. And i'm pretty new to rooting and using the SDK, so please go easy on me. lol. Hopefully someone out there can steer me in the right direction. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Do you have a nandroid backup you can flash from recovery? If not...why not?
If all else fails you can always try loading a ROM using fastboot. You'd have to unlock your Bootloader first though, if you haven't already. Which Custom Recovery are you using btw?

Yeah, I have a Nandroid backup. I don't think it's on my SD card though, also I don't think it is a zip if that matters.
And the custom recovery I have is Clockwork.
Lol, this may be a dumb question, but how can I be sure that my bootloader is unlocked?

Nevermind. I think It's bricked, All it will do is flash a red light in the top left hand corner. Please say I'm wrong though...

You would know if you'd unlocked the bootloader.
Have you been in the fastboot mode yet? It's the white background with three Androids on the bottom. This is how you unlock the bootloader.
There should be a guide on how to unlock the bootloader on the Wiki, I'll go find it...
Once you've done that, you can use ADB to try and restore your Nexus using this method. This method has worked for me everytime I've used it.
I'll edit my post when I've got the unlocking bootloader post.
EDIT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...uides_&_Tutorials#ADB.2FFastboot.2FBootloader
The guide is under the heading 'Root', and starts with 'In order to Unlock the Nexus One's bootloader'.
Hope this helps!

If the screen with x had a lock on the bottom of it it was unlocked.

You don't need to unlock the bootloader to use adb. You unlock the bootloader to use fastboot...
Can you get into the bootloader our recovery?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Well there seems to be a turn of events! luckily, lol My phone still boots into fastboot, my bootloader is now unlocked, but I still cannot make a connection to ADB... I must be forgetting something or doing something wrong.

You cannot get a connection to ADB? Is ADB installed; did you install the Android SDK?
If you can get a connection, type adb devices into the command prompt/terminal. If the device is connected, it will say your phone's unique code then [devices]; if it is not connected it will say your phone's unique code then [offline].

Yeah I can still get into the Bootloader, but when I select recovery, it goes to the splash screen with the lock beneath it, and hangs up and gets SUPER warm to the touch after a few minutes lol

ADB probably isn't working because you aren't booting far enough into the system.
Try using fastboot to flash a new recovery image, and see if you can get into the new recovery...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

When I type in adb devices It says "List of devices attatched" but then has nothing listed... but I'm pretty sure I installed the SDK; I used fastboot in the command prompt to unlock the bootloader.

I flashed a new recovery; I used cmd: "fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img" But I still can't get past the X with the pad lock screen...

Eeeek!
Might be time to give HTC a call.
I know a few people who couldn't flash recoveries, and nothing seemed to work. They returned the phone, and HTC fixed for free...

Do you have the drivers installed for the phone?

Ahhhhh, That's exactly what I didn't want to hear! Haha, well I guess there isn't any other way to try and get past this screen is there?
I really didn't want to have to bring HTC into the equation, haha. But, do you think they will still fix the phone after I had It running Cyanogen? AND after I unlocked the bootloader?
I just want to make sure they will still do something about it and not just leave me in the cold with a really nice looking paper weight...

I should, I don't remember deleting them... How would I go about checking?

It will show up in device manager as nexus one. No yellow exclamation point. I don't recall if they are needed for fastboot/adb etc. Its in the wiki though.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

If you're using fastboot commands, the drivers must be installed.
Don't worry about the phone being unlocked. If you can't boot the phone in it's current state, neither can HTC. So the first thing they will do is a full re-image, which will also fix your problem. Then they will probably test it, and just return it to you, because they can't find a problem...

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.

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.

Bricked Vivid using Z4 Root

A friend of mine tried to root their Vivid using Z4 Root and it appears they were not successful.
The phone is now stuck on a black screen with a green down arrow with a circular green arrow formation around it. http://s13.postimage.org/82qs23ezr/photo_1.jpg
Can someone please give me some guidance in fixing this phone.
Thanks
Relock your bootloader first!
Download the official ics ruu for the HTC vivid. Pull the battery , place it back in and go into bootloader mode ( power and vol down ).
Plug up the vivid to your computer and fire up fastboot
On your terminal type :
fastboot rebootRUU
Start up the official ics RUU for the vivid, follow all instructions, return to stock.
Don't use z4 root on the vivid, its useless. Read the pinned topic that hasoon2000 put up on the all in one toolkit

When the SHTF, try the recovery project. Z4root is only good for select 2.1 and 2.2 devices. The HTC Vivid comes stock with 2.3+ or ICS.
If you're looking to root if you do decide to go replacement if all else fails, upgrade to ICS when you get the new vivid and follow hasoon2000's guides.
Or try the method below
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
If you want to give this a shot to restore your vivid, try this out. This is how I recovered a vivid in a similar situation regarding a stalled RUU refresh.
Try to get into hboot using ADB when you see the triangle screen.
adb reboot bootloader, if this fails then type
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Hopefully you got the fastboot hboot screen by now.
If you see the hboot screen then try unlocking your device, if you can without issue then proceed. If it is unlocked continue
Install the ICS CWM for vivid from fastboot ( check the pinned guides on these forums )
Enable USB mode from CWM
Take this time out to retrieve any data such as pictures, videos or files you need to get from the internal sd.
Go to wipe, wipe boot, wipe data then format the internal sd.
Select back when complete, turn off the vivid. Get back into bootloader mode by pressing power and down on the volume button.
Get into fastboot relock the bootloader only if you want a stock ics from the RUU.
If so, then get into fastboot USB mode, open up your terminal/command prompt, navigate to where you keep your fastboot executable, then type :
fastboot rebootRUU
Start up the ICS RUU only!.
I didn't want to risk flashing a custom Rom over the problem I experienced through cwm, but I would have to say that might work also, but mantra is, when all else fails, back to stock.
When finished complete a somersault ninja flip lol.
Huge problems do occur when you try to downgrade back to GB from ICS. Partition changes, etc...
Keep us posted.

[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

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.

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).

twrp recovery not responding

Hi all, I just got my HTC one today and love this phone. I unlocked the bootloader and installed twrp touch 2.6.0.0. The problem Im having with twrp is when it says to slide to unlock it will slide once and unlock but if i try anything else it just locks and wont slide again. Unless i hit the back button but will do the same again and again. Tried rebooting and anything i can think of. What i would like to do is actually install 4ext as my recovery but im not sure of how to do this now since my recovery isnt work right. Can i do it from fastboot and just install over twrp or do i need to wipe it first. Dont wanna go any further until i consult with the experts here first. Thanks for any input and help.
Cheers and 3 beers :good:

The problem Im having with twrp is when it says to slide to unlock it will slide once and unlock but if i try anything else it just locks and wont slide again. Unless i hit the back button but will do the same again and again. Tried rebooting and anything i can think of. What i would like to do is actually install 4ext as my recovery but im not sure of how to do this now since my recovery isnt work right. Can i do it from fastboot and just install over twrp or do i need to wipe it first. Dont wanna go any further until i consult with the experts here first. Thanks for any input and help.
Cheers and 3 beers :good:

I believe this is a known issue with TWRP 2.6. Just install a different version and you will be fine

Thanks guys. Problem solved

Random bootloop, only fastboot on locked bootloader

Hey guys. Sorry if its been posted before but I did search with no solution found. So I did have a HTC One that I S-Off'd, rooted and everything else and I have had a few other modded HTC devices, but the issue isn't with mine.
My sister also has a HTC One which randomly stopped working the other day. Its stuck in a bootloop where it reaches the One boot animation then restarts. Its not unlocked, its still S-On and not rooted.
The only thing I can access is Hboot and therefore the only thing I can really use is fastboot commands. When choosing recovery the screen just goes black and it restarts.
Under any normal circumstance I'd unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and reflash the stock ROM or something but she NEEDS the files on her phone. She's OK with losing apps and app data and settings etc but the user data can't be wiped.
Again sorry if the solution is out there already but I've been up since 6am, been at work all day, had to drop people off and I've been trying to get this phone working. Its now 1am and she needs this phone ASAP. Cheers in advance, Huzi.

theirs no real magic here... you can try fastboot erase cache and fastboot reboot-bootloader
from bootloader you can go to stock recovery when you see the android on his back hold volume up and tap the power button
you should see the recovery menu try erase cache their also.
everything past that gets more and more destructive stock recovery / factory reset / try to bootup phone ..followed by unlocking the bootloader and installing TWRP and doing a format data. Then pushing a rom onto the phone

Thanks for the quick reply but I can't get into the stock recovery either. Really trying to avoid unlocking the bootloader etc since the files are important (she doesn't backup anything)

well if the stock recovery is corrupt your pretty much done, and all the information is already lost

Blast... Don't suppose there are any commands similar to adb pull for fastboot?

nope and the stock recovery is pretty useless in this regard also ... what you need right now is a time machine

Well there's the issue... my time machine is out of fuel and the time circuits were fried in an incident involving lightning...
Sorry for the super noob question but do RUUs wipe all storage including pictured etc? The last time I used an RUU was about 3 years ago

Yes they do a full wipe .. if you were s-off you could make a custom RUU that did not wipe the phone though
Your situation is why HTC sold the phone with a 25gig dropbox included, If people choose not to use it as a backup then they find out the hard way why it was their. All the new HTC's come with Free Google drive Accounts for the same reason
