Hey guys i don't know if anyone of you had the same issue but any info/help could be helpful.
I used to flash my N1 A LOT! but today i have this strange issue. I wiped and flashed rodriguezstyle again for a clean start, but i only got the colorful X with the unlocked symbol at the bottom and then just a black screen. i thought I've done something wrong and flashed again, but with the same results.
i changed my sd and downloaded again the rom but still no luck, did a nandroid restore and the phone was working properly. then i got a bit frustrated. downloaded 2-3 more roms but the result was the same.
i read somewhere that flashing with battery <50% may cause some errors so left the phone off to fully charge and tried again... no luck
then i remembered i upgraded the radio and i downgraded it to the old one, but still the same results and nandroid doesn't work... jeeeesh... back to the new radio and to my nandroid, but its no fun owning a smart-phone if you cannot flash it.
anyone with the same issue or any helpful tips/instructions?
Try this:
When the phone hangs at boot, reboot to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik-cache and reboot from recovery. Does that work?
If not, you'll need to logcat the boot process and post the log somewhere for us to have a look at.
So, assuming adb is working on your computer, plug in via usb, use adb logcat > output.log and reboot the phone. Continue logging for about 60 seconds after the phone stops.
Post the log to www.pastebin.com and then link back here.
hmmmm ok i will post results in abt an hour. thanx!
hmmmm i think i sorted it out... reflashed recovery. propably i messed smthing in there! thanx for your effort!
Hello everyone!
Weird problem here, too.
I was backing up my SD card in view of a format/cleanup....and when I went to boot into recovery, my N1 was stuck on the black screen with the white letters at the bottom "Build : RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1"... The phone actually boots great, it is just not loading the recovery image. Is it possible that part of the flash got corrupted? If so, I'm pretty much done flashing my N1, right???
I'll post a log asap (if it could help any)...
Oh and btw i tried to re-flash Amon-RA's recovery twice already...Superboot said it was successful....but I doubt it...
Well try flashing stock rom! I flashed it through fastboot step by step and it worked. Also check if the rom you try to flash needs ext partition or if apps2sd is enabled

ok the phone is not bricked an i know there is only one way to brick a hero blah blah blah. but i have psfmod recovery flashed to my phone and i was trying to do the firats mtd partition thing. so i did everything it said and when it came time to do adb shell,reboot recovery it wouldnt work. so after about 5 minutes i realized that the computer wasnt recognizing my phone. i guess cause of the psfmod recovery. and i had already wiped everything. so i wiped everything again and flash zenaraia rom back on. but after rebooting it just stays at the white HTC screen. waited for an hour. i tried wiping and reflashing like 20 times. and i cant mount the sdcard to put another rom on there since the computer wont recognize my phone. anybody following me? lol any suggestions?
It seems like you might need to RUU... have you tried doing that?

Haha I came here just to possibly rip on the OP when I read the title but saw you already mentioned it :/ So you put it in your thread title anyway?
As the guy said before, try running the RUU - should be able to be done in the bootloader.
OR if you can boot up into a rom (wasn't too sure judging by what I read) just get a Dropbox, throw a rom.zip on it, get the app for the phone, sync and bam. New rom.zip on your phone to try.
If neither one can be done, you need to find another phone, camera, sdmount...something so you can add files to it. Even if its just a HERCIMG.zip to update via the bootloader (look up s-off if you don't know what that's about)
Good luck
thanks for your help guys. i'll try the RUU but i dont think it will work since my computer wont recognize my phone while in bootloader. im pretty sure it's just the psfmod recovery that f'd everything up. and yeah i cant boot into a rom. im hoping that somehow my rom.zip just got messed up somehow.
ok yeah RUU didnt work. my only other option is to find a laptop or something
Try getting a live Fedora or Ubuntu linux cd (or any flavor for that matter) and booting it up.
what would that do? i went back to the psfreedom thread and i saw that adb and usb mass storage does not work with that recovery. i should have read better lol
Same thing happenned to my evo..i kept tryna flash the wrong kernel wit nym rom..all i did wuss flashed the rom without da kernel and walla...it started workin again..thnx god..idk if dis would help but it worked for me..

yay !!! im just quoting this because this bears repeating...
1 - if recovery is not working, go into fastboot to get pc to recognize phone...
2 - if roms (recovery or whatnot) are not working, reflash to RUU to start fresh...
(and adding)
3 - once youve started fresh, then flash a working-recovery and go back to your latest [nandroid] backup...
(you always have a good backup to use, right ?) h.
I think all you had to do was flash a different recovery from terminal if you were able to boot up the reason y I didn't use that mod was the fact you can't use adb wen u flash that recovery in that post I think the op posted the link to the old recovery that allowed you to use adb good luck
Root-Hack-Mod-Always™
that was the problem. i couldnt boot to a rom cause i had erased all data and my rom.zip had got corrupted somehow. and with that recovery you couldnt do adb or usb mass storage. so i started freaking out lol. thanks again nfinite
So I'm having a similar problem. I can use ADB to reboot my phone, so I know the computer is talking to the phone but it wont get past the HTC screen. I was trying the firerat mod and made it to the reboot as well but it never came back up. If I reboot to recovery its a white screen with the android on the skate board but the only option is to clear user data and then reboot again which goes back to the HTC screen. I tried the RUU but it wont install because it says my phone doesnt have enough battery (it's been charging on and off for the better part of 24 hours now.) Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated.
first, can you use usb mass storage? if so the you need to put a rom on your sdcard and flash it and see if that fixed it. and if you want to RUU. then pull the battery and put it back. then hold volume up and power at the same time. then hit the button it says to to go into fastboot. you should already be in fastboot though. and then while in fastboot plug the phone into the pc and you may have to install drivers. and then you can run the RUU.
I'm not exactly sure what happened but i got it working. I ran "adb reboot-bootloader" from the menu that brought up i was able to get back to the clockwork recovery, restore my nandroid and finish the mod. all appears to have worked beautifully except that last night my battery went completely dead over night (for the first time) although i'm doubting that that has anything to do with any of this
OK I know I made a very noob move here but its done now.
So my friend gave me a sprint zio I didn't look into much about it , I tried autoroot and rooted it then like an idiot I downloaded rom manager and flashed cwm recovery, IDK how it flashed but it did and when I rebooted the phone it was just stuck in a bootloop .
Has this happened to anyone and or does anyone know how to fix this?

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img(whatever its called, easiest to just rename it recovery.img)
Those are the only stock imgs there are, so I'd re-erase everything and try reflashing each img again. I think you can leave out cache. I realize its not your first phone, or an important one, but it's a pretty noob thing to do, not reading and searching first. Hope you get it working. If you need drivers try Sprints website. Also make sure you erased recovery in fastboot. fastboot erase recovery.

Have you tried booting up with just erasing the recovery? Flash system, userdata, boot etc, just leave out recovery and try. If I remember correctly we could erase recovery and not reflash it and still boot up, as the Cricket version had no recovery, just fastboot.

yeah I did try and boot without recovery but I got to the little android guy with the box and then it just started looping again.
I had to go out so I couldn't mess with it but I'll try the above later thanks for the reply.
And yeah I know that was stupid but I really didn't think it would even flash the recovery but it was still stupid none the less.
I got it fixed thanks for the replys.

So did it fix it?
I'm definitely kind of a noob to all of this stuff but I think I've really messed up at this point and could use some help as I've exhausted pretty much everything I can think of. I have a Sprint HTC One. I decided to root my phone yesterday, after rooting it and installing a kernal I wasn't liking the way things were going (Just some things on the phone weren't working right so I decided to wipe it and re-do it all hoping to get better results. Spending quite a while messing around with it, running on no sleep and multitasking I effectively formatted the phone removing OS and everything, so at that point was sitting at the boot menu obviously. So I downloaded the RUU pack from here hoping to just run that and going back to factory, doing that came to realize I had 1.31.651.2 which doesn't appear to have a working RUU at the moment. I really don't have much experience with any of this or much of an idea what I'm doing aside from following the Tutorials you guys have posted. So I thought maybe I would try to flash the 1.31.651.2 ROM posted here by "Indirect" using the fastboot in CMD. Doing that (With an unlocked bootlocker and custom recovery) am getting a problem with writing the Zip with this message- FAILED (Remote: Not Allowed), which after searching I can't find much about how to resolve that. So my next thought was to try to use the all in one toolkit to sideboot the same ROM and was just getting an error when doing that.
So at this point I'm really at a loss and would really like some help from you guys who seem to know a whole lot more than I do
I don't care whether it's rooted, bone stock or anything else I just want the phone to work again and can't figure out what to do and I'm sure I'm just doing something stupid but hoping you guys can shed some light on it for me!

If your unlocked and you have a custom recovery its not a big deal bro. Its alright you can calm down . So first go download any rom like a stock rom ok? once you have one like OMJ's or even indirects take the zip and rename it to lets say stock. Then if you have adb (should be in fastboot folder) add that zip to that folder. Next boot into your recovery either through bootloader or through fastboot command. If your stuck on splash screen just hold power and volume down button until led's start flashing and the phone turns off let go for a sec and hold the power and volume down buttons again until you get into bootloader. Once your in recovery plug your phone into your computer and in twrp or even cwm recovery you should have the option adb sideload. Tap it and start that. Once thats running open cmd (command prompt) and type adb sideload stock.zip seeing as you renamed the stock rom to exactly how I spelled it, no differently. Then it should show you that it is loading in the command prompt once it is done loading it should start flashing and then your good to go. Wow i typed a lot lol.
Edit: wow totally didnt see the two posts above. OK see if what i sent you works. may wanna try reflashing your recovery in fastboot usb mode with fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Also has anyone heard anything about a 1.31.651.2 RUU?
May have found a work around, after formatting again and running through a bunch of reboots and attempts to mount the partitions and everything I think I finally got it mounted. Am flashing a ROM to the phone now so here's hoping!!! :fingers-crossed:

Not quite. When I loaded up TWRK and go into Wipe there's 3 buttons, the slide button for "Factory reset" there's the Advanced Reset button and the 3rd button says "Format". Format wipes literally everything except the custom recovery off the phone. Which is the mistake I made last night (Bonehead move but I was running on zero sleep lol)
So i got a new lg g2 for verizon last week. ive had good experiences with cyanomod and other roms so i figured off the bat that i would install one of these. turns out they were alot more problems than it was worth. so i went back to stock rom and rooted. for some reason i took OTA. now phone is stuck in fastboot. so i went through this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142. so i got everything done and figured out (running live ubuntu so getting automount to stop was a challenge and then figuring out the new file paths). so now i reboot phone and try to get into twrp (from complete power off hold power button and volume down, release when logo shows and press again). so i get the "do you want factory reset" screen and i click yes, yes then it just goes into fast boot again. problem is now not even linux is reconizing the device. device doesnt go into twrp. cant get into download mode to reflash. all i got is "[16370]fastboot mode started [16420]udc_start() [16590]-reset- [1660]-portcharge- [16640] fastboot: processing commands.
do i have any hope? the phone is new from a third party so i dont think i have a chance to return to the seller, and im not sure if lg will take it either
added info
also, just read and possibly part of problem, twrp was 2.7.1.0, either way though im still stuck with it at this point
ok, so just a bit more info. now when the phone is plugged into windows 7 computer it automatically installed a driver "USB Movem Phone ADB port". so i figured id try to run adb devices and see if it showed, no luck. dont know if this puts me in a different situation or not...
Did you try via terminal $ reboot-bootloader you may be able to force into bootloader for adb sideload twrp 2.7.0.0

actually i just got a step farther.... now i have twrp installed and working (turns out version 2.7.1.0 and 2.7.0.0 both didnt work with my phone even though i specifically got the versions for my phone. now im using 2.6.3.2 in case anyone else is having issues).
so twrp is on the phone. by random luck i apparently had all the rom zips left on the SD card. so i was able to flash a known working rom (at least it was working well enough to get by...). so i flashed the rom and rebooted the phone. unfortunatly it went straight back into twrp. i dont know if there is a flag i havent set or what. i thought i saw a walkthrough about what to do at this point, so im still working on it and i will update if i can fix it... but as i stated right now have twrp 2.6.3.2 working, still no download mode apparently(ill mess with this more because originally this is how i was flashing back to stock when things went wrong), and even though twrp installed a known working rom its still booting straight into twrp (without the whole power and volume down seqeunce...)
Some ROMs won't work on 2.6.3.2
Sent from my VS980 4G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
would it automatically go to twrp if the rom didnt work? the reason im asking is because when i was messing around with the roms throughout the week some of them didnt work (either black screen at boot, or bootloop with logo). and i would have to manually shut the phone off, then go through factory reset, then it would turn on twrp. right now the phone just turns on and goes straight to twrp
If recovery doesn't detect a compatible ROM it bootloops. That or corrupt download itself, make sure to verify md5s whenever possible.

YAY, got it mostly back kinda sorta. so i followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696 after getting back into twrp. i dont know what this did or if it helped. then i flashed a new rom (which i also by chance had on the SD already) i believe it was malladus 1.2.9 and it worked (except i didnt put gapps or anything so it was having a fit about play... now its restarted and i have download mode back so ill just flash the whole thing with the regular rom (the rom on this website might even be older than the phone, but for me it worked well...). here is that website i case anyone needs it http://www.lg-phones.org/guide-to-flash-restore-unbirck-verizon-lg-g2.html i will reflash and post results, hopefully a bone stock phone to start over with...

would it automatically go to twrp if the rom didnt work? the reason im asking is because when i was messing around with the roms throughout the week some of them didnt work (either black screen at boot, or bootloop with logo). and i would have to manually shut the phone off, then go through factory reset, then it would turn on twrp. right now the phone just turns on and goes straight to twrp

As far as a straight to recovery, I haven't had that problem on my g2. On my tablet,I run multi ROM recovery and it will go straight to recovery if a ROM is not installed. I would think it would do the same on vs980 twrp.

btw thankyou for suggesting a different rom, wouldve probably been stuck for awhile without that advice. so flashed verizon stock firmware(which also deletes everything) and its 100% running with the exception of the activation (switched back to old phone while working on getting this guy running again). i feel like ive learned alot more than i ever wanted so ill stay subscribed to this thread and if anyone has similar issues when you post hopefully ill be able to help alittle... no promises though
