I flashed CM7 to my N1. now its stuck in a loop of the boot animation and will not proceed any further. Power button is dead and bootloader is still locked.
I can reboot into to bootloader holding trackball but fastboot won't work as bootloader is still locked.
I am not sure how to proceed from here...
If you can boot into recovery then you can flash a ROM from there if not then do the passimg method http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nexus_One/Guides_%26_Tutorials it's under unroot/restore.
My case:
My N1 rooted with broken power button, i am using latest nightlies. I am stuck at boot, looping and looping, I cannot access recovery boot to restore my nandroid backup or reflash new rom.

With power button failure how can I power down? Please help.
Try this and see if it's work ...
Connect your phone to charger and let the charging began ...
Remove battery ... hold down trackball and try to replace battery while you are holding the trackball ... maybe you need try this a few times to get it to work .

I think I have a unique problem here. I tried to install the Holo Blur Rom using bootstrap. After I flashed it my bootup is looping and all attempts to get into Recovery mode are fail.
When I do the Power+Vol+ I get a screen with Android on it's back and the ! but nothing ever happens. I have also tried getting into the Bootstrap menu but that doesnt work either, it goes into boot up.
Do you think there is a way to save my phone still?
- Bootloader is unlocked
- Rooted
##EDIT##
I figured it out, I did not know you had to press Pwr+ Vol+ Vol- all at once. I thought it was just Pwr+ Vol+ only. Thanks!

With an unlocked bootloader, you should use CWM or Touch Recovery, nothing else as these custom roms need one or the other to install.
Hello,
I tried to flash Slim ROM on my TMo HTC One and I accidentally soft-bricked it.
First, I unlocked the bootloader, put the zip folder in storage and then went straight for flashing a ROM.
Since then, I am stuck in a bootloop even when I try to run recovery - I flashed TWRP.
Can anoyone help?

yes, this is pretty simple:
You can boot into your bootloader by pressing the power button for a long time and if the display turns off, press the volume down button and hope you jump into your bootloader.. try this out until you manage to get into your bootloader. If this doesn't work, you should hold your phone below a bright light so the sensor recognizes it.. then play around with your power button and volume buttons and you should be able to boot into your bootloader. Then connect your phone to the PC and use this fastbootcommand after you navigated to fastboot on your phone:
Code:
fastboot erase chache
Now you should be able to boot into your recovery..
If it helped, hit the thanksbutton or ask other questions by quoting my post so I get notified and I can answer
If you managed to enter the recovery, say it, I write further instructions... Because if I write it now and the steps above didn't work... I wrote it for no reason and yeah... just say it

thank you for your quick response, unfortunately, after erasing cache before and I still got stuck in bootloop (didnt work this time either).
Entering Recovery... appears on top of a screen and nothing happens for a long time before the phone reboots itself

I would simply reflash recovery (maybe a different one) to make sure it's not the file you have

ok.. in that case we have to do some other stuff..
Download the TWRP recovery, it's know to work better than CWM at it's current state, you can download the file for your HTC One here:
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7 (credits to: http://teamw.in/ thanks for your awesome work!)
Then when you are in the fastboot mode, use this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "C:\pathToYourRecovery\recoveryname.img"
Then boot into recovery... and if this doesn't work too, try this command:
Code:
fastboot boot "C:\pathToYourRecovery\recoveryname.img"
If you were able to get into the recovery, or if you were not able, pls answer
!! :good: It worked and I got successfully booted the recovery, I think I was flashing a wrong version of twrp before
Hi,
I'm very new to rooting and such and only followed guides a read forum posts to get to where I am now.
My phone is rooted with stock ROM and SU, the bootloader is unlocked but no S-OFF (don't think it's possible on the mini 2 yet anyway). The new OTA update last night installed when I got home and charged my phone, then the phone just shut off and every time I tried to boot it would go straight into TWRP without showing splash screen or bootloader (even when holding power and the volume down button). When it's in this state the touch screen doesn't work and the power button only locks the phone. Holding power + vol down in this state doesn't do anything.
I have to let the power drain completely to get the phone to boot back up but it immediately boots back into recovery and then I can use ADB to force the bootloader to appear, but when I flashed the stock recovery that I found in these boards, it messes up the screen and all it shows is static with some artifacts. I have to let the power drain again to get back into the bootloader, and from the bootloader I can get the android OS to boot but I'd like to fix this completely.
I guess I should also mention that even after flashing the stock recovery the phone will still boot back into TWRP after I let the power drain so I think that means that the stock recovery isn't taking?
The twrp problem you mentioned is known, hope it'll be fixed soon. Are you sure you typed the right command to flash stock recovery? Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img?
If you get stuck, the combination is power button and volume up, not volume down...

Unfortunately I was using the wrong ADB command, I was typing "fastboot boot recovery.img". This seems to have fixed the problem so far but I have yet to try rewriting TWRP back to the phone and I probably won't until theres a fix or unless I need to.
Thank you for your help.

I had the same problem. It happens when I reboot with my phone when charging.
You can reboot your phone by holding vol up+power button.
I was trying to install CM12 i have done all the wipes, but i havent updated the bootlader so the instalation failed.
I rebooted the phone and now it stucks in the first moto logo. I can't even enter in the recovery.
Have you guys have any idea how can I repair this, please?

Buddy its just a soft brick ...!! You can go to recovery if you do everything correctly
Follow these steps..!!
1. Turn off your phone by press and holding power button until you see you device is turned off
2. Or at the boot animation also you can go to recovery by press and holding power and vol down until you see black screen and wait 4 sec after you see black screen and release the buttons the you Will go to fastboot mode and hit recovery in fastboot and wipe data and still if you u get boot loop go to fastboot, and flash stock lollipop And then flash any cm 12.1 based ROM you won't get any kinda problems now ...!!!! ?
I really need help.
I've got my phone bricked and I can't even boot to flash mode or to recovery mode.
The last thing I've done is boot to twrp and clear data because I am going to change rom. But there is a certain error that pops up. and forgot what was it. After that, I try to flash the rom. But the same error pops up. If I remember correctly. e:ex4ts is not found? Something like that? And now. When I turn on my phone. The xperia logo still pops up. Then after that its only black screen. I tried going to recovery (power + Vol up + vol down) and also tried flash mode but nothing really happens. Its like not being detected. And when I try to charge it. The xperia logo pops up and black screen appears. The charging icon/animation is not popping up. Is there anyway to fix this? Please help. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Your phone is now bricked and won't boot into recovery.You need to flash stock rom via flashtool to recover your phone.Is that your phone's bootloader Lock?Unable to boot into recovery always happen in locked bootloader phone.
Use Flashtool to flash stock rom. But be careful to connect phone only when prompted. It should boot after that, then you can root phone again and try to install recovery again.
I have unlocked bootloader already. I think there is something wrong with the phone. I can't boot to flash mode and recovery mode. The screen continues to go black light. I've tried for more than 20 times already. But still. I can't go to flash mode. Can I go to flash mode by only connecting my phone to my pc?

use recovery img to flash via flashtool.you'll get your recovery back
Thank you so much for answering my query. I figured it out before reading this. Yes, I forgot how to use flashtool. I forgot how to boot into flash mode. I used the method in Samsung devices (All buttons must be pressed) which technically my mistake. Thanks again.
