so my nexus shipped to me today and i power it on. at first it went it booted up fine i didnt get to play with it yet cause i had to go eat so i turned off the phone to let it charge.
came back to it later and turned it up and all i get is this :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
after a few attempts with the same screen i decide to boot into recovery
[power down+power button]
HBOOT-0.33.0012
RADIO-4.06.00. 12_7
i then select recovery, after a bit it loads into clockwork mod recovery v5.0.1.0
so im assuming its not bricked or anything, but what seems to be the problem?
why is it stuck on the X screen with the "unlocked" lock icon?
-edit
an idea popped up in my head, so i put back the SD card tat came with the phone and it booted up fine to the home screen.
so im guessing the guy who sold the phone to me had his rom image booting off the sd?
would factory resetting the phone[wipe all] change this? so i can boot without the damn SD card?
It might've been that he had app2sdext running. I have never tried booting up without my sdcard in. Depending on how it was installed, a factory reset *might* help, but I doubt it (most app2sdext are put into the /system partition which a reset doesn't touch).
Your best bet is to probably just wipe the phone and start fresh with a new install. There are a lot of different options out there with ROMs, but the two most popular are CyanogenMod 7 and MIUI. Have a look at those and try them out.

hello
last week i was navigate with tomtom, and my kaiser was bloking! i click on the reset button and my pda won´t start!
Apears the following picture:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
about one minute and turns off and restart again with the same picture..
is there any problem ? i have the official rom of wm6, that it came with the pda!
Please, need help ..
should i send the pda to warrenty ?
Try taking out the batter and doing a power cycle. If that doesn't work, go for the hard reset (yes, all data on the phone will be lost). Do it the manual way by pressing the two soft keys, camera button, and poking the stylus in the reset whole all at the same time.
i have tryed that, power cicly, my batery have 100 % and i have discharging to 0%.. still nothing, hard reset.. nothing, i have tryed install new wm6.1 and nothing
the problem, is that the red letters and numbers of rom, radio ... won´t appear!
anybody knows this problem ?

Can you enter boot loader mode?
Press camera button and hard-reset
See if you get the tri-color screen with the SPL message
Then you can connect the phone to the computer and try to load a new ROM.
yes, i try install new rom but it doesn´t work, it stuck in smart mobility imagem :S
the problem should be the battery?
the power cycle is making by charging the battery to 100% or is there any thing to make like the notebook, that we go to bios and calibrate the battery ?
If you have tried flashing several different ROMs, and you are still stuck at the initial splash screen, then your only option may be to send your device in for service.
If you are able to get into the bootloader, then follow the directions located in this thread to revert your phone back to factory settings. Who knows, going through this process may get your phone back up and running again...
sent to warrenty.. :S
I was about to buy my friends N1, after he cleared the data, it is now stuck on boot screen, he has sent this to me to try to fix since he is not a technical person at all, but I am also dumbfounded by it.
here is what happened:
1.) He went to settings and clicked restore to factory defaults
2.) It rebooted and got stuck to this.

He send unit to me just now.
1.) Removed bat to turn off since power button no longer works to shut phone off
2.) Pressed POWER+Vol Down to enter Menu
3.) Selected Clear Storage
4.) asked to confirm, so I did, it said it will reboot in 5 seconds, so it did and still stuck with this screen.
Alternatively,
I chose recovery, then wiped everything, reboot still the same.
Tried downloading multiple roms, renamed to update.zip, but it will give me an error in recover mode, not signed.
This N1 is unlocked.
Now, I want to follow the instructions here but I am wondering if it is worth it or I will just return the n1. Certainly a bad sign having seconds thoughts on moving to Android
How To: Load a Custom ROM on the Nexus One (Updated 1.11.10) | TheUnlockr
Had the same issue
Had *exactly* the same issue a few weeks ago and tried dozens of different options but eventually gave up. I sent it back to HTC for repair and it came back in two days *with a new screen* (which I didn't ask for). The screen replacement cured the screen alignment/keyboard offset issue that I was getting multiple times a day. So I was happy Excellent service from HTC!
I had a similar problem. Reflashing the recovery image, then reflashing the ROM fixed it for me.
Try pushing over Clockwork recovery, or at least reflashing Amon_RA's recovery image. If you stick with Amon's, upgrade to 1.7.0.1 while you're at it.
The reason to try Clockwork, though, is that it allows you to disable signature checks. Plus, ROM manager integration is awesome. It saves time if you flash a lot!
FIRST, try renaming the zip file just "update". NO .zip or quotes. Sometimes the PC OS adds an extra .zip.
Ken
Gave up on it too, sent it back to HK yesterday, hopefully, they will replace it too. Thanks everyone!
I would have flashed the stock factory image on to it. That's different from flashing a zip, in that the image copies the sector bit by bit, so if there is any kind of bug, it gets overwritten.

I assumed that would have worked for me too, but it didn't. Had to send it back....
I would have flashed boot, system and userdata, it was in the recovery so it wasnt bricked...
ah well
Update your recovery first.
Hi there,
So for the first time I've dropped my phone and something has actually gone wrong.
The battery fell out this time. Now when I boot up the bootscreen turns up as does the Cynogen screen next (I have been running 4.0.3 for over a week now without a hitch), then after that nothing...the screen goes black.
The weird thing is though, all the buttons work, the screen obviously works perfectly and it even mounts and Windows can see it, it just becomes a black screen and the front screen buttons light up when I try and turn the screen on.
Even wierder....I did a factory reset, wipe data cache and a dalvik cache wipe, reintalled and the problem still persists.
Edit: Tried Odin and got this, what now? ((
dbdata.rfs fails.

In that PIC I can see you are using more than one file ie PIT, PDA, PHONE, CSC but you forgot to enable re-partition

Good day. I had cyanogen 9 on captivate. I tried to make backup through recovery menu and it said it was done successfuly . But after that the phone cannot boot and i only see the boot logo that appears and disappears. The problem is that usb in my phone after service center repair works only like a charger. When i try to load recovery (volume up and down and power on) i see this image
{

. What it is possible to do there? Is it possible even to get data from the phone? Thanks a lot in advance.

Woah, first time I see this screen. Without a working usb, you can't do much to recover on the captivate. What did you do other than a nandroid?
If you can somehow get your usb to work, getting in download mode and using Odin KK4 (without bootloaders) would bring back your phone. Otherwise, you'd need to be able to get in recovery, wipe cache/dalvik and try to boot. If that doesn't work, restore your nandroid backup.

Thank you but now it is Ok. After 10 minutes of booting it surprisingly booted and i wary to turn the phone off now . The only thing i did is making backup in recovery and the phone said it had been done successfuly . After that the phone didn't want to boot.
so i found some ancient thread about a "new" font.. decided to install it. didn't read the thread. well, now i have a phone stuck at the white ATT screen.
and if i hold volume up and power, the phone just keeps rebooting.. there appears to be no way to hard reset the phone (factory reset to factory state)
any ideas here?
this was not opportune to say the least.
so ****ed.

I got it under control. It was painful and i lost everything. If you tried to flash this KK font installer crap:
For those that end up at the white screen of death on a rooted, non-safestrap application:
you are going to be flashing the MJ5 with optional root.
Go ahead and follow the directions.. you might could sideload the sec_csc.zip and the 2400..zip now, or later. i did later.
1.) So hold vol down + home + power.. that'll take you to Odin installer or something.
2.) load up the tarballs into Odin, etc etc.
3.) heimdall
now at this point it's still going to whitescreen bootloop, so this time do power up + home + power and you can go to "update via ADB"
you'll need ADB tools already set up
sideload the two zips in the right order
they will install
reboot and you'll have a working, clean, rooted MJ5 rom.
and not a white screen
