[Q] Only 'X' is being displayed and then reboot help please. - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

was using my nexus one as i was switched it off removed the sim card from this phone placed it in another phone... left my nexus one on charge and turned it on left the room when i got the vibrate didnt even saw wether it was completly on or not... came back home saw the phone off... tried to turn it on but it wouldnt.... then connected the charger to the phone then turned it on and it shows a X and a unlocked sign at the bottom stays for a while and then the screen gets black and the same thing happens over and over again

Its going in a reboot loop I think.
Try going into the bootloader by pressing the trackball and power button together.
and then enter bootloader and then recovery.
In the recovery select reboot.
Btw do you have a nandroid backup?

I do have a backup lying around somewhere but i'm not sure of that. And i tried that boot loader thing but when i go to that menu as soon as i press the volume - button the phone boots off again

did you try the 3 finger:
pwr/vol-/trkball at same time may take up to 20 seconds to boot into bootloader
or, may need to use fastboot from command terminal and flash new recovery/rom like passimg to go back to stock then upgrade from there
pass image method is in wiki

Try this:
- Press the power button and the trackball together
- Select Bootloader and then Recovery
- Flash a different ROM (Stock\CM\MIUI\or try flashing again your current rom)
- If it doesn't work, flash a new rom AND wipe data and cache

Help My G1 Has Gone Crazy

I have a rooted G1 I was using Enomther's HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83 ROM And Cyanogen's 1.4 recovery image....when all of a sudden while i was trying to text on the slide out keyboard only the letter E,F, and D would work so i tried rebooting my phone...it stayed stuck at the G1 screen and kept rebooting itself I took out the battery and tried to boot in recovery and did when I tried wiping the phone it would not let me press the home key to confirm the wipe...so i just rebooted from the recovery screen the phone turned on but it did not load any of my widgets and said safe mood at the bottom left hand corner and only the power button worked on the phone.....so i put the DREAIMG.nbg file on my sd card And Booted W/ Camera +power and it got to the screen but when prompted to press the power button to perform the reboot it would not do anything so I took out the battery again and now everytime i try turning on the phone even in recovery it just keeps rebooting at the G1 screen then after like 10 minutes it turns off.....Anybody Think The Can Help?
which spl are you using? You could use fastboot to flash a nandroid backup from before you're issues started.
Not Sure Never Flashed Any ROMS That Require The New SPL Did Not Want To Brick My Phone...SO I Am Still Using The Hard SPL I Flashed When I Rooted My Phone
If you're using the HardSPL you should be able to use fastboot, you'll also have to have fastboot setup on your computer, you can check out this thread for some good info on that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
also you'll have to have a nandroid backup from before you're issues started, I can provide you with a link if you need some good back up files
My Phone Won't Load Into Fastboot It Does The Same Thing Just Stays At The G1 Screen And Then Turns Off
your first post said that you were able to boot you're phone using camera+power ?????
Yea I Was Able Too Once Just Like The Recovery But Now It Doesn't Load Anything It Just Keeps Rebooting After The G1 Screen
do you have adb installed?
Sounds like a hardware problem, maybe some buttons are stuck.

[Q] Help!!! Bricked my phone!!!

So I Have a rooted CDMA HTC Hero rooted with WildHeroC RC4. I was cleaning my phones memory up and decided to get rid of some apps. Then I decided to replace the HTC Sense home screen with a windows home screen just to have something different. I backed up the last set up I had using clockwork mod. When I went to uninstall the HTC Sense home screen I used titanium backup pro. When I pressed one of the options to (i think it said) "permanently remove or uninstall" the Sense home screen the hero went into some recovery thing showing a box with an android next to it and an arrow coming out. There is a yellow progress bar at the bottom that gets to about 1/4 the way finished and then starts over completely and does this repeatedly. I tried taking the battery out and putting it back in and then press the power and down volume but it just goes back to the same screen. What happened and can I fix it???? Please help!!!!
Ok first off YOUR PHONE IS NOT BRICKED. If your phone was bricked then it would not come on at all. If your phone turns on It's not bricked. Now do you have a nandroid back up ?? Also what recovery were you using ??? And do you have adb setup ??
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
I don't think I have a nandroid backup. And I was using clockwork mods recovery or at least the default one that comes with it. I think I do have adb set up. What do I do? Please Help!!!

You should definitely check to see if you have a nandroid backup stored some were it will help you with your current issue. Also when you refer to the default cwm did you mean that you downloaded rom manger and flashed a recovery??? And are you s-off or s-on ??? Also do you have adb set up ?? And are you able to boot into hboot?? You do this by
Powering off the phone.
Then press and hold the volume up key.
Then tap/press the power button.
You will see a white screen. That's your hboot screen. To get you back up and running you can find a HERCIMG.zip of cwm recovery or Ra's recovery, drop it on the root of your sd "as in not in any folders" and flash it threw hboot if your s-off. If not then you can look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=958968
For how to flash using fastboot with s-on. Or if you have adb setup you can search for the recovery.img of cwm or Ra and flash them threw adb. Once you have your recovery back you can perform a full system wipe by wiping
cache,davlik-cache, and data/factory reset. Then either restore your nandroid or flash your rom of choice. I think your recovery is screwed up and also your rom I'm thinking is screwed up as well. If you can't find the recovery zips or img's let me know. Hope this helps.
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
I think I have S-off. I also think I have a Nandroid backup (I backed up my rom and all my apps and data using rom manager)- is that nandroid backup? When I press the power and down volume button it goes right back to the loading bar and NOT to the menu. I can not boot into hboot. As for the recovery I did load it from Rom Manager. So what do I do. I have adb loaded.
You have to boot into hboot to find out I'd you have s-off. Via my post above. What happens when you try to boot into hboot??? Also have you tried holding the power and home button at the same time for at least 15 seconds to see if you can boot into your current recovery?? I forgot to ask you that in my other post. Also no that's not a nandroid however I believe you can restore that zip if its a zip that rom manger made with cwm.
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
I have tried holding down the home and power button but it does the same thing. It will not let me boot into hboot. It goes strait to the screen showing a white box with an arrow coming out of it and a android standing next to it. There's a loading bar at the bottom that keeps loading up to 1/4th then goes back to the beginning and it does that over and over again.
That's not how you boot into hboot. That's for recovery. To boot into hboot do this.
Power the phone off.
Press and hold the volume up button.
Then tap/press the power button.
Just tap the power button don't hold it.
Only hold the the volume up button. Then you should boot into hboot.
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
I did what you said (Hold up volume and pressed (not hold) the power button) and it still does not go through hboot.
What happenes ??
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
It shows the HTC screen for a few seconds and then It goes strait to the screen showing a white box with an arrow coming out of it and a android standing next to it. There's a loading bar at the bottom that keeps loading up to 1/4th then goes back to the beginning and it does that over and over again.

[SOLVED]Can't boot to bootloader

I finally found solution! Bootloader on my phone isn't nearly same as usual one, no white screen, just a few lines which designate modes. 4 are present:
-normal boot
-fastboot
-recovery
-UART boot
I accessed it by pressing and holding power button and volume up button at the same time during device boot.
I hope someone with a same problem will find this helpful!
I managed to boot to system but I still can't get in bootloader. No combos and neither adb works.
I got my HTC One from second hand several days ago and I instantly noticed that something wasn't right. System was naked, no bloatware, no usual settings, no proper identification so I decided to install custom rom. I tried to boot to bootloader which I wanted to unlock(I guessed it's locked 'cause recovery is stock) with key combos, adb but it simply didn't boot to bootloader nor it rebooted or sometimes it went to factory mode which is on chinese. Again, I tried to find which version of phone I own but I can't figure it out. Moreover, I downloaded and put stock rom on virtual sd card and booted to recovery, opened menu with power button and selected to install package from zip just like it's said in thread but it outputted 'Install /sdcard...' and nothing else for past couple hours. Recovery isn't frozen, It shows\hides menu when power button is pressed. I tried to force shut down it by holding only\in combination with power button\volume buttons but nothing happens. I don't know what else to do...
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: It eventually discharged but when I turn it on with charger in it I get blinking white screen on every 3 seconds and when long pressing power button phone just vibrates. In combination with volume down it keeps blinking on every 3 secs and with volume up on every 5 seconds. To me, it looks like it's trying to boot but bootloader can't find anything installed. Computer is recognizing usb device on the moments when I connect it with usb just like when device is rebooting.

You have a fake phone
I agree, you've probably got a counterfeit One, but you can't flash custom roms from stock recovery anyway.
Firstly, thank you for any answer. How do you mean 'fake'?! I got it in original box and IMEI's are same(on box and device) What can I do with it then?
I tried to flash stock rom designed for stock recovery, at least that's how I understood.
MIDN07100 (Europe, a guy from which I got device claimed that it's from England so this should fit)
IMEI:354436053103493(same on device and on box, checked with IMEI checker it appears as valid HTC One device)

Help with TWRP Recovery Issue

Hopefully you all don't sigh or roll your eyes at my questions, I came from iOS 2 weeks ago and the Android learning curve is pretty damn steep!
Many guides I read says to enter recovery mode by turning the phone off, then holding volume down and power buttons until the screen flashes and you should enter right into recovery, especially guides to flash a rom. I installed TWRP last week and the way I enter it is hit restart with phone powered on and as the phone begins to restart hold volume down only, then I enter it.
When I hold power and volume down when the phone is shut off, I get the HTC boot image as the phone is rebooting and then a message saying something along the lines of the phone will reboot and it counts down 3,2,1 then the phone reboots a second time and not into recovery. Plus my wallpaper gets removed. I rebooted but the wallpaper was still removed.
Two questions; Is this some sort of faulty installation of my recovery? Which way should I boot into recovery when about to wipe and flash a rom? Thanks a million!
twrp quicker reboot...

way i do it is i unlock the screen hold power down to get the power options screen then i select reboot i wait for the screen to go blank then i hold the power and volume down it will load into bootloader then i just hit whatever boot loader has the recovery on it (twrp 2.5... had a problem wouldnt do system boot just take me back to recovery so i had to do to bootloader then restart from there) then you will hit recovery i would do a factory wipe but dont have it delete anything else just do a normal factory wipe and maybe delete cache and your problem should be fixed unless there is an issue with your rom you are using then if it bugs you that much find a different one.
another not when the system reboots i think you can just hit volume down dont have to hold power also but im so aggrivated with my current issue i just hold power also to make sure it goes thew.

*Update*
Ok so after trying again to enter bootloader from power off holding volume down and power button, the same thing happened where I got the 3 second countdown but I continued to hold the buttons and I correctly entered into bootloader. So my question then stands, when flashing a new rom does it matter which method I use? (Reboot, volume down or Power on, volume down/power)
Thanks

no OS No BackUp how can i start from begins ???

Htc One m7 ul
Had No bootlooder
only on recovery mode clockworkmod v6.0.3.1
have no android and it wont shutdown
how can i start from begins ???
iam new it's only one week experience
If I understand you correctly, you're probably boot looping over and over, right? This happened to me a few weeks ago, I accidentally did a FULL wipe, then I had no OS and nothing I could flash (I was in a car). When I turned the phone on after that, it would just boot to a white screen and start over. To shut down your phone, try holding Power + vol-down until you can get to the boot screen, then power down.
To fix it, you'll have to put a ROM on your phone. From that boot screen, go to recovery (clockworkmod, in your case). With your phone connected to your computer, use adb to put a rom on your SD card, then on your phone just flash the ROM like normal. that should get you up and running.
