Hi, I have a uk vodafone nexus one with stock 2.2.1 frg83d. I have been trying to update to stock gingerbread via frg83g without any luck. I used super one click to root my phone and have unlocked the bootloader. The problem is every time I try to flash a different rom frg83g, gingerbread or cm 6.1.1, it says that the update was ok and goes to the reboot screen, but when I reboot it just hangs at the boot animation screen. Am I missing something? any help much appreciated.
On just about any custom ROM page it clearly says:
WIPE EVERYTHING before installing.

So I just got back my nexus one from htc, got my mother board changed and preloaded with 2.2. I rooted it with universal root without unlocking my bootloader.
Problem: when I reboot after successfully loading CM6 and have it running, it reboots to the "X" and hangs.
Am I doing something wrong?
For how long is it hanging? I recall having to wait what seemed like forever the first time I booted with CM6... but eventually it 'took'.

You have a locked bootloader as well right? I waited a good 30 mins. Maybe i should leave i and give it more time to boot?
All works normally on inital boot of CM6 after install with locked bootloader, just that when i try to reboot the first time manually... it stays at the "X" for an awefully long time.
Did you wipe?
Try wiping data,cache,dalvik-cache.
ya, this is what i did.
1) Universal root with locked biootloader on stock 2.2
2) installed rom manger
3) flashed recovery + downloaded and flashed CM6 + google apps
Boots up fine, runs CM6 flawless. Upon manual reboot, it hangs on the X
Then i tried:
1) reboot into recovery
2) full wipe + davlick cache
3) reinstall CM6 + google apps
Still hangs. I haven't had time to play with it, but ill try to leave it along upon reboot a lil longer to see if it pulls thu~
Please let me know whether after installing the 6.0 cyn. rom and after the initial install you can then reboot and it pulls up and runs as usual. I am getting ready to flash the cyn 6.0 rom I am on stock 2.2 and have never flashed a rom before I have backed up the current rom through Rom Manager and flashed Clockworkmod recovery and I have the unloocked bootloader root as well. I have a question if and when I flash the new rom through Rom Manager does it not wipe and clear data etc. automatically? If not how would i go about doing that. Any and all help is greatly Appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MY bootloader is LOCKED, i rooted differently. Since you have a UNLOCKED bootloader, you will have no problems booting.
I still never got a chance to play with the N1 yet, ill keep u guys updated

When you go to flash a new ROM in Manager, it will offer you the option to wipe and/or backup before it applies the ROM.
Thank you so much for the kind replies!! I meant to say that I had a locked bootloader root using the one click root and unroot. I guess this means I would face the same situation as described earlier in this thread. I am very grateful to all the posters for sharing. THANK YOU!!!
Do you mean it hangs on the nexus one X boot animation? Because CM6 has it's own boot animation you shouldn't see that at all.
I would test it with a different Rom to see if you get the same result. If it's only CM6 doing that, maybe try the nightly version.
I've got CM7 RC10 Installed on my MM. I tried to upgrade it to RC11 but the phone stuck at boot loader so I rolled it back with nandroid. Anybody knows the reason or can help me?

Your phone shouldn't be stuck at bootloader when you're flashing a ROM. Go into recovery and wipe both caches and apply the update then reboot.

I just used RSD Lite v4.9 to flash GOT 2.2.1 on my phone. It works fine and rooted with GOT's OR. Then I wanted to try and apply the cm7 update and I have gone though all the steps listed in all the various guides but when I reboot the phone it will first go strait into recovery mode, stock, and another restart will get me stuck on the M. Does this mean my sbf is bad? I have tried different cm7 .zip files for the milestone with no luck.
Thanks in advance for any help/advice.
Have you made factory reset?
Firstly, it is a well known issue and I've searched a lot and do everything I can. This is my current status :
1. it could not boot into anything, stuck on X all the time.
2. After reflash all ( boot, recovery, radio, system respectively ). I got my n1 passed the X and boot into OS. But it's screen is black, completely ( I can still see the X so I do not sure it is the hardware problem or not ). I still interact with all the button and when I call it with another phone, busy signal received, I guess it is still in configuration mode.
3. I try to flash custom recovery (CWM) but it is stuck again on X.
Detail information:
Code:
Korean Nexus
HBOOT ...0017
S-ON
PASSIMG does not work due to CID incorrect !
Thanks for reading my issue and I am looking for your help. I really love my N1 and I just bought it 2 months ago This happened when I plug the charge and it rebooted, then stuck on X.
Erm... why don't you try installing the Blackrose HBOOT and then fastboot flash a new ROM? This might not even be a logical solution but it looks like you've tried most of the other stuff. Just out of interest, what radio are you on?
You flashed old Froyo OS, I believe, and have SLCD screen variant - which makes Froyo older than FRG83 incompatible with your phone. This is why you don't see a screen output when booted into OS. If you install a fresh Gingerbread or latest Froyo ROM - everything will be fine. If your bootloader is unlocked (you see padlock on the "X" screen) - you can flash custom recovery directly from fastboot.
If you can't PASSIMG because of having Korean Nexus variant - you can try to install Blackrose, as suggested, which will allow you to PASSIMG whatever you want.
Thanks for your help. I will try to see how it is going
Steps that I will take :
1- Flash Custom BlackRose HBOOT
2- what is the best ROM that I can flash ( pass as PASSIMG ) to have a chance to boot my phone again
Any latest Gingerbread PASSIMG that you find, or any PASSIMG starting with FRG83 and beyond. Any of those will work.
Thanks you all for great help. I finally get my Droid running by reflash to amon ra recovery and flash cm7

Firstly, can you tell me the reason why this happened ?
I don't know well about the root and the difference between the KOR and GB version. I still hold the guide, and I will post here if you need
Hi. My last firmware was from late 2010 (it was a custom if it matters).
Now I decided to update to 4.0.4 and selected a CM9 firmware. I did as usually, made a backup, factory resetted and cleared cache.
Then after I updated to that new firmware my phone got stuck in the first boot screen where it says like "Samsung GT-I9000" etc.
I wasn't able to get to recovery mode but I managed to get to download mode and I flashed a 2.3.6 firmware which I believe was stock (got it from sammobile.com). However it didn't help as now I'm stuck in endless boot animation where the "S" flashes and sometimes it just starts the animation again but nothing else happens .
I tried installing another kernel, then installing the CM9 firmware but then it just boots endlessly to recovery mode.
Now I have the stock 2.3.6 firmware installed with nothing else, still can't get past the boot animation. Anyone could tell me what to do or is my phone a brick?
Is your phone rooted? Do you have cwm?

Firstly I don't think its bricked if you can access download and recovery mode ....
I recently did the following to fix everything wrong with my phone.
I flashed to a stock rom (gingerbread 2.3.3)using Odin, then rooted my phone again. Then I flashed darky's rom (GB 2.3.6). After that i flashed tiramislim 9 (ICS 4.0.4) & that worked out for me. Hope i helped.
Hello there fellow XDA members,
I just got a Nexus One and it is giving me quite a headache right now...
I am unlocked (using fastboot) and rooted (SuperOneClick) but cannot get into recovery / flash roms.
I have tried:
1.) Installing ROManager,4EXT, etc. apks, but get parsing errors in android
2.) Install CWM through fastboot, but get stuck on the logo when I boot into recovery
3.) Install ROManager, 4EXT, etc through adb, but get "INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK" error.
About my phone:
Firmware 2.1-update 1
Baseband: 32.240.22U_4.03.00.21_2
Kernel: 2.6.29-01117-g4bc62c2
Build number ERE27
If anyone could offer some help in getting me to a working ICS rom, I would be very grateful.
EDIT: Was able to use ARMONs recovery just aye okay, guess I freaked out too early. Just flashed an ICS ROM, time to see if it works okay!
EDIT 2: ROM doesn't seem to be rooted, but so far so good
Do you have Blackrose installed?
And I can safely say that *every* custom ROM you will find here is rooted.
