[Q] Nexus one stuck at X, is it dead now? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys. I'm having a problem with my old Nexus One, I slept on it while I was in Australia so maybe it got overheated or something. Now it's stuck on the X.
The phone was totally stock before this happened.
The bootloader is unlocked.
Now I tried to restore it via PASSIMG.zip with "PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_2.18.1700.1_FRG83_release_signed" without any other result. Still got stuck on X.
Can't get in to recovery mode, just reboots and get stuck on the X.
I can get in to the bootloader on the phone, but won't find it with adb commands in cmd prompt.
I can find it with "fastboot devices" command. I didn't have usb-debugging activated on the phone while it ****ed up if it would matter.
I've searched on the internet till I got dizzy but didn't get any brighter with this. So I hope someone could tell me where to start.
Thanks in advance, Superbravo.

If everything else fails, this might just work. Download a recovery and place it in the folder where you have blackrose (or fastboot.exe)
Then open CMD and navigate to that folder and type "fastboot boot recovery recovery.img"
That way, you can boot a custom recovery (instead of the one you have installed and then try wiping that way and then install a ROM.

Thanks for the fast answer! I thought I needed to have usb-debugging on to be able to boot a custom recovery (like Amon Ra's), or should I download a "stock" recovery and try to boot that one first?

Poängen är alltså att du skall boota en extern recovery än den du har i mobilen. Det tror jag skall fungera fint. Dock har jag inte testat det, så jag vet inte.
I don't know if it works, though, as I haven't tried it.

Tried booting recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img with the command "fastboot boot recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img". The phone just restarts and nothing more happens.
I also tried the "fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img"-command and same for that. Just rebooting and get stuck on the X. Also tried those commands with and without the SD-card attached.

i think you need usb debugging selected
the second recovery line command is correct if that is the exact name of the recovery you put in your fastboot.exe folder--which for me is cd android/android-sdk-windows/tools

Oh thats not too good. Are there anyone of roundpassing this usb-debugging thingy?
Yeah I had it in my fastboot folder.
Are there any way I could flash a rom without wiping the system?
Thanks

If PASSIMG didn't work for you, and you can't boot to recovery you're flashing - then your phone is dead.

Triangle with exclamation mark + Android

Everything works fine. I can boot into 2.1 stock and bootloader but I can't enter recovery. Everytime I try I get the damn Triangle and Android. I even tried factory reset which didn't do the trick. Can anyone help me?
I recently reverted back to stock 2.1 with an old nandroid backup. Today I downloaded the 2.2 Froyo manual update, didn't even put it on SD yet. So I rebooted into bootloader and pressed recovery and that came up. I read from a different post that the exclamation point and android stands for stock recovery but I never went back to stock recovery mode, only back to stock ROM.
try pressing the power button with the volume up button at the same time. It might take a couple of times but you'll get somewhere. Try it out really quick and let me know
You might have done it on accident.
Go into the bootloader and fastboot flash your custom recovery again.
Im trying to flash the custom recovery again but for some reason when I try adb devices it will not show my serial number. It only shows if I boot the phone into the stock rom, but won't on FastBoot USB.
Where do I put the recovery.img in the directory of Android SDK?
can you power off and get into the bootloader? Sorry man, I'm confused.
Yes I can.
alright then, can you flash everything from fastboot?
What do you mean flash from Fastboot? You mean recovery?
My device isn't recognized in Fastboot USB
put the custom recovery.img where you have fastbot access on your pc. Open command prompt and start fastboot.
Boot into bootloader (white screen with 3 androids)
type "fastboot devices" in command prompt
the type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Im not saying your an idiot by writing this out so don't take offense lol
Gave me an error.
cannot load 'recovery.img'
is the recovery.img in the same folder as the fastboot access?

You have to replace recovery.img with the name of your recovery file. Download recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.img from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829
and type:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.img
This is assuming you wish to return to a custom and not stock recovery menu.
Im an idiot when it comes to this. What do you mean fastboot access folder? The tools folder in AndroidSDK?
Problem solved guys.. Im a friggin idiot. I forgot to open the command prompt in the fastboot folder. omg -_-

[Q] help me reinstall OS and root my nexus one

I've got a nexus one with a broken power button and a corrupt OS. It rarely successfully manages to boot. Since this is the case, I'm not able to turn on USB debugging to follow some of the tutorials here..
My next try was fastboot.. I downloaded these two files:
recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-passion.img
update-cm-7.1.0-N1-signed.zip
But it seems like I wont be able to flash a recovery file if I have "s-on" displayed on my hboot or fastboot screen..
How do I gain "s-off"? And is it possible to flash a stock rom via fastboot?
And yes, my phone's got stock gingerbread 2.3.4 rom.
HBOOT 0.35.0017
MICROP 0b15
Touch panel SYNT0103
Radio 5.08.00.04
Please help me with this matter as I have been trying to accomplish this task for over three months now..
Read Nexus One wiki, section "root", and section "recovery".
You don't need S-OFF to flash anything, if you unlock your bootloader. This is Nexus.
Boot into fastboot, plug into your PC, open command prompt wherever you have the fastboot command in Windows, most likely in android sdk under platform-tools, run "fastboot oem unlock" from command prompt, your bootloader is now unlocked. Attempt to flash your recovery now."

It's already unlocked, as there is a small open lock displayed at the bottom of the boot screen.. and fastboot displayed it as already unlocked as well.. still.. i need a way to go to recovery without the power button
If you're in the bootloader - "fastboot reboot recovery".
If you're in the OS or while the OS is booting and ADB daemon is already running - "adb reboot recovery".

fastboot reboot recovery doesnt seem to boot the phone to recovery..
should the OS be completely booted up if I want to use the adb command? because it displays the error "error: device not found" when I try to "adb reboot recovery"
Might this be a problem with my computer? I checked and confirmed that the drivers for the phone are successfully installed...

I've attached an image showing proof that I've tried your method but still kept on failing to reboot to recovery..
When i try the command "fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-passion.img", the phone simply restarts and goes back to the 'X' boot screen and gets stuck there.
Could anyone please find me an genuine unedited gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM so I can PASSIMG it? ... I've downloaded several rooted ones.. but all seem to need the "android-info" file
fastboot reboot recovery
No "reboot-recovery".
And if you still get stuck on "X" when you reboot to recovery - it means that your recovery is corrupted/unusable too, and you need to PASSIMG everything.
Generally, booting the recovery through "fastboot boot" should have done enough - if your phone can't boot, it might probably be a HW problem preventing it from booting, and in that case - nothing will help.

Yes, you're right. Fastboot can't reboot to recovery, only adb.
Oh well, in that case you're out of luck. You can't PASSIMG without power button, so if "fastboot boot some_boot_image" doesn't help - there's not much left to do.
You could always disassemble the phone and fix the power button...

[Q] Htc One BRICKED.

After only four day of having this phone i managed to brick it. I would really like to know if its fixable or if i have a really nice paper weight. Im stuck on a boot loop, I was half way through flashing a rom when it suddenly shut off. Now it will not boot up. I can load into the bootlader but when i try to go into recovery it just sends me to fastboot. When i restart the phone i can see the old recovery (TWRP)for just an instant but then the screen goes completely black. If i plug in to my pc, nothing happens my computer detects it but it says y device is damaged nd it cant identify it. PLEASE HELP Am i out of luck?
Ive looked around but i couldnt seem to find anyone with the same problem as me (Sprint Variant)
Good news it's not bricked i would put this question on the rom thread someonethere sshould be able to help
There's a Sprint One forum as well, so hopefully you found a ROM on there!

I really hope so because on a college budget i cant afford another phone D:
Seen this in a couple of other places. Seems certain recoveries are possibly becoming currupted during flashing a new ROM.
What you need to do it get back into fastbboot, and....
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase cache
the re-flash your recovery, boot into recovery, full wipe and reflash your ROM.

Edit: Just got done typing the stuff below and saw you can't connect to your device in fastboot? What do you mean by re-installed driver?
Don’t worry, as long as you can still get into hboot your phone is not completely bricked!
The fastboot commands I referred to need to be carried out on your laptop/pc when you phone is connected in fastboot.
Can I assume that as you have already unlocked bootloader and flashed a custom recovery you are already familiar with this and have your computer set up for fastboot commands?
(Apologies if you already know some of this, best not to skip parts out though!)
I’d start with downloading a fresh version of your chosen recovery, and place it in your fastboot directory ready. I’d also do the same with your ROM.
Like you have already done, boot into fastboot. Connect your phone to your pc, and the red text should change to ‘Fastboot USB’.
Then open up command prompt and get to your fastboot directory. (On Windows 7 you just find that folder in Explorer, hold shift and right-click, then choose ‘Open command window here’.)
To check your pc is talking to your phone, type ‘fastboot devices’. You should get a device serial number back if all is well.
Then type ‘fastboot erase cache’ and hit enter.
Then type ‘fastboot erase recovery’ and hit enter.
Then type ‘fastboot flash recovery [name of recovery].img’ and hit enter.
Then type ‘fastboot reboot recovery’ and hit enter.
Hope fully you should successfully boot into recovery now. Once in recovery, mount USB storage and copy over your fresh ROM. Choose to do a full wipe including cache and dalvik, then reflash your ROM.
Reboot.
Let me know how this goes.

Hey so just a thought and experience I have had with all my HTC phones is when you see that quick glimpse of the TWRP recovery screen then it disappears to an empty black screen......you are sometimes still in a form of recovery but during your Rom flash something (i don't know for sure) changed and it doesn't show the screen only black. So with that long explanation out of the way....have you tried once the screen goes black the
"adb devices "
Mine whenever in this situation would return the output of serial number and recovery so then you can push or sideload the Rom and boot into the system at which point your fastboot drivers will finally be recogniZed.....

I'd say the next step is to re-install your drivers in the SDK. Open up your Android SDK and reinstall them. In Windows Device Manager, find your connected device (probably now with an exclamation mark on it) and right click on it and select 'Update Driver'.

(Win8 but the procces is identical.) All my drivers are up to date. Still no love.
On the dev forum is a thread that includes all the latest drivers (including an app to remove older drivers.)
Find that thread, download the drivers and bmp and driver removal tool. Remove drivers with tool, install the new drivers, reboot, connect phone and see if 'adb devices' finds anything.
Also make sure you're using the latest adb.

Bricked HTC One(writed recovery to boot partition)

Hello dear guru's =)
I have an HTC One international. Today i try to get root access and install custom recovery, whent i flash recovery i missed that chose a boot partition to install it. Now phone boots only into recovery, and from my PC, adb or fastboot don see it, but in usb devices its present.
Im on linux Ubuntu 13.04.
In phone dont have any backup.
The phone can't boot in bootloader?

When i chose from CWM recovery menu "Reboot recovery", phone boot into download mode, and thats all. Fastboot or adb dont see it.
But. In usb device list:
In download mode:
Bus 002 Device 061: ID 0bb4:0ff9 HTC (High Tech Computer Corp.) Desire / Desire HD / Hero / Thunderbolt (Charge Mode)
In recovery mode:
Bus 002 Device 063: ID 0bb4:0f91 HTC (High Tech Computer Corp.)
Assuming you didn't corrupt your boot loader you should be able to get at the boot loader and use fastboot to flash a new recovery.
Power the device off
Hold power and volume down, the phone should turn on and load into the boot loader.
From there you can select fastboot (navigate menu with volumn buttons, power button to select fastboot).
You can use this command to flash a recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If you can enter bootloader,you may try formatting partitions from fastboot,and flashing them afterwards,that is if bootloader is unlocked.
You can also lock your bootloader and try installing RUU,it will put your phone back to stock,
P.S. - I'm new to this,so please consult with more experienced members,before doing anything

And, in CWM, there is the option: reboot bootloader?
As download mode you mean bootloader?

adb or fastboot is not recognize my phone. In cwm recovery i have only reboot option or reboot into recovery. I have the same situation as tha developer in other post.
when i chose boot to recovery i have : "screen with a phone icon and a green image like i can connect via usb or something, but then it turns red after about 30 seconds"

"screen with a phone icon and a green image like i can connect via usb or something, but then it turns red after about 30 seconds" -> that's stock recovery
Before, when you are in bootloader (image attached), are you able to "fastboot devices" and it shows up? because the bootloader is not affected by the recovery.
basically "fastboot flash boot recovery.img" put the custom recovery where the kernel is supposed to be.
First thing you need to get/confirm working is bootloader/fastboot.

In cwm adb will work.
So i think you have some issue with drivers.
And, however, if you turn off the phone, you can't access in bootloader with a longpress of power and vol-?
Hey, so I'm the one who had this same situation. What I had to do from what I recall is go to CWM screen, cleared the cache, even in advanced the davlik cache, then I believe (and you might have to try different combinations of this, because I don't 100% remember as I had before tried so many different ways) I unmounted the system mount, then went to reboot from the first screen to get to the bootloader (hold power button and volume down). After this, I clicked on Fastboot and it then went to Fastboot USB. This is where you should be able to connect. Don't leave this screen until you flash the recovery in the right place and then properly install the ROM. Let me know if you get to at least connecting and I can even send over an image for your boot, so you can at least get your phone back.
It can be done, I had the same situation so your phone is not bricked. Just keep working at it.

Op3t fastboot cannot install twrp

I tried to install twrp on my OP3T but everytime i write "fastboot flash recovery trwp.img" it says "error: cannot load 'twrp.img'"
When I type "adb devices" my phone doesn't show up
I unlocked the bootloader
I activated USB debugging
I checked the OEM thing
I have put the twrp.img in the same Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder
What could it be?
Install correct driveres or use another usb port. Device have to be adressed via "fastboot devices" or "adb devices".
It's probably a typing error ..Rename the twrp in whatever you want and then type " fastboot flash recovery " whatever you want".img
Rename file
Did you rename the file? You need to rename it before flashing.
IT WORKED
Everytime I was putting the phone into bootloader mode, the phone was already plugged in. Then I tried to put the phone to bootloader mode and THEN plugging it in my pc... and it worked ^^
Strange, right?

I also experienced this thing this morning.
A simple unplug, re-plug solved for me
Whenever i flash twrp through fastboot it just gets stuck on the twrp logo and doesn't go beyond it.
I've tried with 3.0.3.1, 3.0.3.0, 3.0.2.0 but still the same
can anyone help me with this?

no you don't.
Just type the first few letters and hit [tab]. Works on windows, linux, mac os and every other shell made within the last 40 years.

The last parameter has to be the EXACT filename, that you are flashing, which is the TWRP image. It has to be in the same folder as your command prompt is or you need to include the path to the twrp file.
Try the last TWRP release, should work!
Would like to express that I am also having the exact same issue. Any version of TWRP simply fails to load and stays on the TWRP logo.
I am on OxygenOS 3.5.3.
Anybody know a solution? I am currently running with no recovery now and I am quite worried.

After installing the twrp and then you type ... Fastboot boot twrp.img. Probably you are stuck on twrp splash screen...
Try to boot manually.to twrp by pressing power button and volume down button...Then you should be able to boot on twrp....

Did you try to fastboot TWRP after flashing it?
What I mean is, after you enter the command "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img", proceed with "fastboot boot twrp.img" and it will boot. Doing this you prevent Oxygen OS from overwriting TWRP. You should be able to boot normally after doing that.
Don't be worried and try to boot into recovery as described, that should work, if it doesn't I wonder if you flashed the right version of TWRP.
Try and let us know.

I'm having some difficulty getting past this step.
I've unlocked bootloader, enabled oem unlock and enabled usb debugging. I've added the PATH where my twrp.img file is located.
Whenever I input fastboot flash recovery twrp.img, it says error: cannot load twrp.img: no such file or directory.
I see the file in the correct location so i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong here.
Any ideas?
