I was trying to intall a new custom rom but I forgot to flash it and now I'm stuck with the X boot screen

Can you get into the bootloader or recovery?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App

Yes, I can but when I enter recovery does nothing only brings me back to main menu fastboot usb
bootloader
reboot
reboot bootloader
power down

Your easiest option then would be to follow the unroot/restore guide in the wiki (passimg FRG33). That should get you a working phone, which you can then root again...

[Q] I cant unbrick my phone

Hello !
I have a big problem. I tried installing clockworkmod recovery. I'm standing at Rom manager. I dont know what I clickking. One time 1 click to reboot to recovery and I have a black screen.
I'm rooted a phone, and i downloaded rom manager from filecrop, i think non-trusted.
You shouldn't use ROM manager. If you can get into the downloading mod, flash through Odin. If not, you may have to go get your phone repaired.

You should have read previous posts here before you even tried to use rom manager. A lot of cases already where rom manager bricked their phone. If you can still boot it in download mode, better flash a stock rom thru odin and cwm thru odin as well.. then you can install custom roms..

Thanks every1 for quick reply.
It's my friend's phone. I tried to use CTBeastDroid?'s guide. I copied a file from Dreaming-rc29 and I tried a Power + Home combo it didn't work. Can I do ? Please tell me step by step. I never use SGM. I'm formatted external sdcard by my Captivate(phone, it use for sdcard reader). I had a black screen. And my friend's phone didn't do nothing.

unbrick/Revert back to stock rom no matter what painlessly!!

Download the files before reading if ur interested
Found out many strainous guides on this section and really its a big pain to the neck reading everything here.Buff!!Anyway this is a stock froyo rom based on the originally shipped rom with root an a super easy installation.To do this u need nvidia drivers for mobile devices on ur pc.
-If ur on ics/jellybean download this first then continue
-Get the nvidia drivers from here.Unrar them to any folder.
-Now put off ur device.
-Take off the battery.
-Hold the vol up and down keys together.Keep holding and after about 3-4 secs connect to ur pc.
-Ur pc should detect the device but wont be able to install the drivers.U have to do that manually in device manager and i believe if ur n the xda u can do so except u want.(Come on its easy to manually install drivers on windows.Open device manager,see flagged driver with yellow sign,right click and choose update blahblah....)
-After installing unplug the phone,remove the battery,put it back and reboot ur device.
-After it boots up put it off and repeat steps 1-5.If the pc detects ur device the get this unzip and open FlashFirmware.bat an leave it do its thing.{For ics/jellybean users first run the flash.bat in downloaded file(which u should have extracted) and repeat steps 1-5 for the 3rd time and now do the flashfirmware.bat part}
Once u see the LG logo (and only then)on ur device then its ok.
When U boot there are 3 languages chinese,korean and english.
downloads, 1 & 2
Everything here is stock!!!
Hit thanks below if u benefited from this.
credit to wkpark too!!
Support dead , device sold but method works!!!!:crying::crying::crying:

[Q] Help please, may have bricked my phone!

Hi there, first I have to explain that I have flashed custom ROM's before, but am not technical at all. This time I tried to update from JB 4.1 to 4.2 and now the word 'Semaphone' is on my screen and nothing else is happening. Is this fixable? Please, please help me if it is. I will need step by step instructions.
Would really really appreciate it if someone could lend me some advise.
Many thanks

Thanks for reply yes, Three button recovery mode brings up 'Downloading............ Do not turn off Target!' Is this salvagable?
Your bootloader has a problem, you need to reflash it.
Please follow the steps in the link. The link will direct you to a post that shows you how to do it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24831012
Alright that is all. Please tell if problem persist, I could help you.

Sorry to be such a nuisance, but I am a complete beginner. I have Odin, I have downloaded the two files, where do I put what to flash it?! :laugh:
Sorry for being off topic, but why the hell do you flash a 4.2 Version when the source was released just yesterday? I'm even wondering where you got that version from? Oo

Okay I got this from the post, so I'm gonna elaborate this to you so you do it correctly, okay? Note this, I'm using the XDA app to reply this.
1. Turn on USB debugging.
2. Open Odin on your computer. Select OPS - AriesVE.ops(Odin) and Select BOOT - Boot_loader.tar.
3. Turn off your phone and go into Download Mode(Volume Down + Home + Power Button)
4. Connect the phone to the computer using the USB cable.
5. Check Odin. If Odin detects your phone, it will appear yellow and state Com: 0 or something like that.
6. Then, flash your phone. Wait for it to complete the process and let Odin reboot your phone.
If problem still persist, please do tell me.
Another note, this is base on my experience and I'm not on or near my computer. So I'm sorry if anything happens.
Good luck!

Many thanks, I've got it sorted and running a Jellybean Rom again! Hurray! I thought I had messed it up forever. Lesson learned. Will not try that again............
Your welcome! I hope my assist helped you whether big or small! :thumbup:
Just make sure, you do the regular protocols, backup everything and wipe data etc.
If you want a fresh phone(meaning to delete your current/older rom for a newer one), you could always format system(formatting the system will delete your ROM, meaning your phone will not boot until you flash another ROM).

[Q] Powerbutton broken, install new ROM

Hello!
I'm sitting here with an Nexus One with an broken powerbutton. I would like to install a new ROM, but my problem is especially, that i can't select an option, when my phone is in recovery mod.
How could i navigate aorund the problem? I know, a few options are available from an shell, for example to reboot. But i can't navigate and choose an entry out of the shell.
Do i miss some features or does exist other ways to install an new ROM?
Greets
use clockwork mod recovery , choosing is by the trackball
try 4ext touch recovery. no need of power button. search for it under DEVELOPMENT SECTION...

Thanks!
You helped me a lot.
I was also confused, why my phone can't boot twice into recovery, till i found out, that my android device automatically reinstalled the normal recovery image.
Anyway! Thanks a lot. Some simple informations can change whole things
may be cos ur recovery didnt stick permanently.
yeah. true. glad to hv helped

Hello. My phone stopped working this morning. I get the X screen with the stringy lights forming the X. This just keeps happening over and over. I've taken the battery out and put it back in, but the same thing happens when I power it on. I have a lot of information I need, so I'm very worried about not retrieving this information. My phone was never hacked/rooted. What do I have to do to retrieve the information I need and get my phone working again?
I ended up doing a hard reset. The phone works now(almost), but that deleted everything. It's not recognizing the sim card, so I'll have to go see my local mobile store tomorrow. I had music, photos, videos and information that are gone now. I really feel ****ty about this, but I guess I just got to move on and take steps to make sure that I back up everything next time.
Whew... I just noticed that my music and photos are not deleted.
