So, was running a sense rom through the SD card. Let my wife use the N1 for a bit.
She erased the SD card, and now I'm stuck on the X boot screen with no recovery image, no way to drop a rom image onto SD to flash. I can easily access the fastboot/hboot screen, but I have nothing to flash.
Basically, I have a working phone with no OS.
What is the best way to get the OS back on the phone?
You can take the sd card out and put a ROM file on it?
cant you flash a new recovery image from fastboot?
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/<recovery>.img
fastboot reboot recovery

Didn't even think of this...*facepalm*
THANK YOU!
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/
then flash this ROM
ADB doesn't work in bootloader. It works only when the kernel is up and running - the initial stage of OS boot.
Previous answers were correct.

My G1 randomly froze during operation. So I held down the power button to bring up the power menu and hit restart. After hitting restart nothing happened, so I took out the battery and put it back in and booted the phone up but it's stuck in the first boot (T-Mobile G1). I can boot into fast boot but not recovery.
I was using CM 5.0.8 with Radio 2.22.23.02.
I had some ROMs on the SD card, but fastboot would either say "No image" or "No image or wrong image"
I've formatted my SD back to FAT32 and tried these images, but I get the same messages in fastboot:
gapps-mdpi-FRF91-3-signed.zip
spl-signed.zip
update-cm-6.0.0-DS-RC2-signed.zip (might as well try CM 6 if CM5 from before wasn't being detected)
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance for any help
If you can get into fastboot, just flash a recovery back onto your device, then you can wipe and re-flash your rom. Your phone doesn't sound bricked.

sorry for calling it bricked. I didn't really know what to call it.
I gave that a try. I put Amon_Ra 1.7.0 recovery image on my SD card and fastboot doesn't recognize it
Don't put it on your sd card. You do it from your computer. Assuming you have your adb/fastboot drivers installed, just type this in console:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery C:\Path-To\Your-Image\name_of_recovery.img
I would suggest using ClockworkMod for your recovery, you can find it [HERE].

Thanks for the quick replies. I've never installed/used fastboot on my linux box, but I quickly got that working and erased my recovery and flashed the new recovery you recommended.
I'm currently flashing my ROM!
Thanks for everything! You guys are the best!

Download this toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
in recovery, choose install zip from sideload
in the toolkit, choose adb sideload a rom
choose rom
flash & reboot, good luck, took me 3 trys until fixed sdcard issues
You can push the ROM zip to your 'sdcard' using adb (adb push xxxx.zip /sdcard/xxxx.zip).
If you need more information, either look here, or just search the internets.
Don't panic. There's no such thing as a brick (if the screen turns on or computer recognises the phone).

Don't worry if it is booting to recovery it is not bricked, bricked is when it does nothing.
Can you boot to bootloader? If so you can fastboot flash an RUU (if you fail all other attempts to flash a rom with recovery)
You need the proper HTC drivers for ADB to recognize the device. Download and install HTC Sync Manager and also Android SDK Manager to get the platform-tools folder required to use ADB. Google both of them.
Hello...
Today i decided to flash new rom.
Unfortunally, i did something stupid and forgot to copy the rom to sd card before flashing CM11s boot img.
So, i am stuck with fastboot, bootloader and CWM recovery. I cant boot to OS - since it has been wiped after i flashed boot.img.
My question is, how can i copy the rom.zip from fastboot or recovery...
Please help.
Best regards, XTac.
Ah, and my situation for now:
Bootloader unlocked
Fastboot drivers set up and running
Recovery running
ADB dosent work (no android)

Put a microSD card in a card reader connected to a PC, copy CM11 there and then reinsert into your phone. Use the recovery to flash the ROM.
Or install a ROM using flashtool (flashmode or fastboot mode).
Or install a recovery that support adb or let you mount the sdcard and connect it to PC with USB (i don't know if exist one of this xD but you can search one).
Good luck

Well, thanks to the fact that i didnt had any sd card, i couldnt simply copy the rom zip there.
So i flashed a stock ROM and bootloader, and i started all the way from beggining. (looked up some tutorials) Now everything works.
Thanks, the problem is solved now.
Well i'm trying to revive my Nexus One!
I installed CM-7.2 and it was all working except my SD Card, so i started to play around a little....
the same sd card works in a different phone and on my computer but the phone can't read it. (tried formating from phone,computer and all)
To make a long story short my phone now only boots into fastboot mode and i can only boot into recovery by "fastboot boot recovery.img" how can i flash a ROM with only fastboot and recovery with no sd card option.
some other information;
S-Off
HBOOT - 7.35.5017
Radio - 4.06.00.12_7
Recovery - tried them all, currently: CWM 5.0.2.0
Hi you can attempt the method found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...ing_Guide_-_Android#ROM_update_without_SDcard
Or use fastboot to flash a passimg.zip to return to stock
thank you so much! it worked like a charm!

Turn it off, take the sd card out and put a flashable rom on it. If your bootloader is locked then it must be a stock rom.
Put the card back in the phone, start recovery, go to install, then install from sd card, flash rom.

The rom would have replaced the recovery partition. Now you need to flash recovery again and possibly root, depending on which rom you used. It would be better to use Nuts recovery, to flash via ADB rather than use flashtool. Flashtool is so powerful, it's really easy to brick your phone, or to wipe out your TA partition and destroy the camera. It should be used as little as possible.
There is a great guide here.
