[Q] please tell me my n1 isn't a paperweight now....

running rod's miui rom and was trying to remove excess crap via titanium pro. when trying to remove facebook it would reboot and give an error message about signature failure. so i thought i'd see if it would successfully remove a different app. rod included a fancy widget app that i had no desire for. when trying to remove that, it did a number on my n1. i cannot get into the recovery mode or anything.
this is a video of what the phone now does. no matter if i pull the battery or what.

That's an interesting one.
When you turn it on - this is the first thing you see? No "X" at all?
Did you try ADB to see if it sees the device?
Looks just like radio flash, but with radio flash there are no recovery messages, if I remember correctly.

no, i get the un-animated X, and then it goes straight to this. regardless if i hold down the trackball or not.
what do i need to do to try to adb to it? i don't fool with adb ever, just when i first rooted/unlocked it.

Put a diff update.zip for another rom on your sdcard. Lemme know if it works

i took enoms rom, renamed it update.zip and placed it on the sdcard. still nothing, same thing.
if i press the powerbutton whilst on the android out of the box thing it says.
"ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0
Finding Update Package........
Opening Update Package.......
Verifying Update Package......
Installing Update....."
this is shown in the video, but blurry and hard to read.

well, if im doing things right..... adb remount said it successfully did so.
(edit) ok, i can definitely connect via adb, i just ran the reboot bootloader command and the phone rebooted..... albeit back to that stupid looping screen.

any other ideas folks...... i'm up against a wall here.

i am able to get this in terminal

You need a rom that can be flashed as an update.zip, most are not flashed that easy. Can you get into fastboot?

i don't think so

Try booting into fastboot, if you can your good if not then I will do some digging.

well, i cant get to the recovery screen to initiate fastboot. if i use adb reboot-recovery it just reboots the phone and goes back to the looping crap i'm stuck at.
if i try any fastboot commands, i get nothing. i just can't get it to do anything other than respond to adb commands.

a fella from nexus one forums suggests that perhaps my bootloader is messed up and needs to be restored? that sound possible?

That was this fella, and I'm actually more convinced that the recovery is stuck trying to do an update... xD

haha. the omnipresent danger-rat is indeed the fella.

I was hoping Jack or Rusty would be here to check my logic...
Here's what we believe so far:
1 - phone appears to be in recovery, and trying to install an update.
2 - phone is in recovery, so adb is (kinda) working.
3 - there's no update.zip on the SD card.
4 - trying to overwrite the recovery via adb gives a "device or resource busy" response...
My guess is that if the install process can be killed, then you should be able to re-gain control?
...I've no idea how to kill processes via adb... :-(

Woooooo HOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i'm not entirely sure what i did......... but i think i have it. i transfered amon's 1.7.0 img to the sdcard and aptly renamed it recovery.img. after just now trying to restart to see if i could get fastboot to do anything it must have found the recovery.img and reflash amon. i'm looking at amons recovery now as i type.
i just rebooted and now i'm back into rods miui...... phone is working fine.

just wanted to say thanks so much for all your effort and help man.

now a new quick question... which is what started this whole fiasco.
how can i remove unwanted apps from rods miui rom?

Click to expand...

adb shell
su
rm -rf /system/app/nameofapp.apk
once the apps are deleted:
(on the phone)
go to settings--> manage applications
and delete any leftover files pertaining to the programs you just deleted
Reboot
Then reboot and make a backup
*EDIT*
You may need to reboot after removing the programs for those file to show up in Manage Applicaions

Why can´t I get root access?

Okey, before FRG83D I rooted my phone with SuperOneClick. Then I decided to go back to the original ROM, and update to FRG83D. As you know, this revoked my root access. So now I unlocked the bootloader and ran Superboot. However I don`t get rooted. My suspicions are that because my old Superuser apk is left, something goes wrong. Plz help me figure this out!

Well all need a root for 2.2.1

Are you telling me there is NO way to root 2.2.1 ? :O

No, I think the other guy is just thinking of a root-without-unlock method.
You are already unlocked. So it's just a matter of changing the system correctly to root it. Easiest way is to probably flash an already rooted stock build over it. (I assume you want to remain stock)
Or at least you need to find the correct way to root 2.2.1, which is hard because there are probably a lot of people out there looking for a root without unlocking, so that will pollute your search results.
Edit: Of course, I could be way off base and not know what I'm talking about.

Yup, flash a rooted stock rom, like Geo's.

I still don't know why people love to make things harder on themselves than it needs to be lol.

Okey, this is kinda crazy, because Adblock is working and has all permission, but nothing else!

Not familiar with Adblock, but if it is similar to AdFree it just works by replacing your /system/etc/hosts file with one that directs every advertising address to the loopback address, thus preventing the apps from loading. If that file was in place before you lost root, it will continue to block ads for you.

Okey, but if I just want to flash CM, what do I do? Can't get to recovery :/
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

You're unlocked, right? Super easy :-D
Download a recovery *.img (or extract it from a recovery .zip).
Reboot your N1 to fastboot mode (press and hold VOL-DOWN while powering on - press Power to select Fastboot USB when the option is presented).
Connect your USB cable.
Run fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (replacing "recovery.img" with the appropriate file name). When complete, you have an aftermarket recovery again.
Boot to recovery and install whatever ROM you want

Those steps are broken down a bit more specifically (including prerequisites) in this thread, which I found from the NexusOne Wiki, which is a great place to look for such common information.

Done it, and I'm 110 % sure I did it right! Still does not work!

I'm afraid you'll have to be more descriptive than that.
HOW are you trying to boot to recovery? There are several methods:
1) Issue the adb reboot recovery command
2) Boot to the bootloader (press and hold Volume-Down while powering on), use the volume keys to scroll down to Recovery, and the power button to launch it.
3) Use an application like Quick Boot to reboot directly to recovery from the OS, though that may require a working root.
Have you tried these methods? If so, what happened? What did you see on the screen?

Number 2. Just seeing an Android and a triangle.

Then that is the stock recovery. Flashing a third-party recovery was not successful. Did you receive any error messages from the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img command?
Your bootloader IS unlocked, right? You have a padlock icon on the bottom of the screen immediately after poweron?

The flash was successful, no error messages. And yes, the padlock is there.

What recovery image are you trying to use?

Restore a nandroid from computer?

Is there anyway to restore a nandroid by using a computer? For example, lets say my phone is soft bricked and/or bootlooped and i cant get to cwm recovery. Anyway to boot into cwm using like a promt on your computer? I know everyone recommends a sbf back to stock using rsd but im jw. If not, that would be a really good idea because that could eliminate sbf completely and no one would ever need it if you have full backups and you could communicate to your phone via a command promt and boot into cwm. Would this be hard to accomplish? Like i said just wondering. What are your guys thoughts?

read up about the fastboot method. its not a nanadroid but will get you back to stock in a pinch very easily. all you have to do is put all these unzipped files in a folder. power up your phone holding in the me key, scroll down to ap fastboot, select hook it up to your phone, from computer click click here in the folder you created. your computer opens up a prompt and reflashes your phone back to stock.

[Q] [H] CWM Help Please!

Hi, I recently updated to ZV8 and when I try to install CWM Recovery using MTs way :
After gaining root on ZV8 you can get CWM recovery by running this ZV8CWMRecovery.bat.
After my phone is plugged in as internet mode and I open up the .bat file. I restart and I still dont have the recovery option. How do I go through this process?
Also, It seems like my Swype is broken. Everytime I bring up the keypad to Swype it hides right away and I end up using the default LG Keyboard.

Clear the data in the application. it fixed mine

you can just run the important bit from terminal emulator.
I copied cwmrecovery.img to data/local/temp then ran
dd if=/data/local/tmp/cwmrecovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 bs=4096
followed by
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p
rm /data/local.prop

They recovery option wont be there because you are still running the stock zv8 rom. Use rom manager to gain access to it or shut of the phone and hold down the power and volume down buttons. If you flash the new Broken out Revo it will display the recovery option.

boot phone into recovery mode through bat file, flash the broken out rom then the option will be there

If your reset put you back to stock zv8 (check settings> about phone) then you will not be able to root/cwm.
You'll have to push the zv7 tot, root with zv7 aio, run bat in "easiest" thread, ota to zv8, run bat again for recovery.
Lots of steps but not terrible. All instruction is available in development. I'd post links but I'm on my phone and have been awake going on 24hrs now. I reserve the right to be slightly lazy. Ha

Can't install CWM
I was in the process of doing you V7 -> v8 Root and got stuck on the CWM install as well. I believe I have the right drivers installed since I can access my SD cards from my comp. I am in internet and Debug mode on the phone. When I run the batch it just permanently stalls on "Daemon started Successfully."
I know the Batch installer for the kindle fire has a function to let you know if it see the device. That would be useful in this case if there is a way to do that.Anyone have any ideas where I am gong wrong?

I have no clue what I am doing now. Anyone mind helping me .
After I run the .bat using option 1 : http://i44.tinypic.com/359k66g.jpg
After I run the .bat using option 2 : I get a black screen when it reboots. Front button lights are on also!
This is using mt's ZV8CWMRecovery.bat

Can't enter Recovery or Boot

Pretty sure I've perm bricked, but figured I would ask anyway. I can not access recovery, or boot at all. Your probably asking how did he do this. Well I went to remove android, right before I did I was asked for format, when I did I'm assuming my android partition was messed up along with recovery. Either way I can't enter usb mode, enter recovery. Any ideas?

No one? That's about what I figured...

Have you tried holding the power and home button for at least a minute, it is supposed to do a reset .If you cannot turn it on maybe HP can't either if it is still under warranty send it back.
Sorry to state the obvious but I can't think of anything else .
