Hello,
Kind of a noob here. tech-savvy but new with android. Had my N1 for 3 days now.
SLCD version with Amon Ra 1.9.0 alpha recovery. Didn't unlock the bootlader
I'm having fun with custom ROMs. Installed CM6 and now wanted to go back to stock. Didn't realise the FRF91 ROM was not compatible with my SLCD phone and I flashed it on my device. Now it boots into a blank FRF91. I can get it to go into recovery console (power + volume down), but when I select Recovery, I see the nexus on logo and the screen goes black (maybe the recovery is not working anymore or it's juste not showing?).
I can't get adb to work since I need to enable USB Debugging. Is there any way I can enable it without the screen. I don't even know if the touchscreen works (I think it doesn't). So to enable it I need to navigate with the trackball I guess. But I don't know where to go to enable it when I don't see anything.
This is fun and all but I like my phones with something on the screen
Can anybody help?
EDIT RESOLVED :
I used the PASSIMG.ZIP trick to flash a stock rom onto it (FRG33 I think) via the HBOOT menu.
Thank you danger-rat and Jack-R1 for your help!

I can't get adb to work, it doesn't detect my phone. I guess it's because I haven't enabled usb debugging on the phone or because I'm not root.
How can I do those things without a screen?
You may have lost root when you reverted to stock (was it a rooted stock image?)
What is not working with adb? Have you tried "adb devices"? What response are you getting?

I flashed a stock rom, yes. So I guess I lost root.
adb devices turns up an empty list of devices.
Did you try to connect ADB when you're booted to recovery?

By connect I suppose you mean launching the adb app in android-sdk/tools? Then yes I tried it when I was in the HBOOT menu and after when I was in the black Amon_RA recovery. Still no devices detected.
The ROM I flashed was an unrooted stock ROM.
When I boot into the black Amon_RA recovery or the black FRF91, my computer detects the nexus one device that is connected but I can't see it in adb.
It seems I need to enable USB debugging on my black FRF91 and root it to be able to use adb with it.
I hate the 5 min posting limit
The problem is that you don't have the black Amon_RA's recovery. You have the stock FRF91 recovery, because you've flashed a stock image - and it overwrites everything, including recovery. Amon_RA wouldn't require to enable USB debugging to have ADB working in recovery.
I hope you have the ADB driver installed correctly. Please double-check that.
And after you do, if it's installed and you can't do anything - please look at my signature, go to the link, find "unroot / restore your Nexus", and execute. Download the latest FRG83 ROM from HTC, the link is also in the Wiki.

My drivers are installed correctly, since I used them to flash Amon_RA earlier today.
Gonna try the unroot thing in the wiki.
Tried the superboot and :
I get FAILED( remote : not allowed) in the FASTBOOT USB recovery page
It hangs at downloading boot.img .... on the HBOOT recovery page. Should it take more the 3-4 mins?
On the superboot thread, he says an unlocked bootloader is required. Don't think it will work.
What superboot?
It was "UNROOT", not "ROOT"! Using PASSIMG method.
DO NOT revert HBOOT to older version. I've updated the page.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...des_&_Tutorials#Unroot_.2F_Restore_your_Nexus
Use the passimg method, and use a card reader on your PC to get the zip to your SD card...
I think you want FRG83 (not sure what shipped with the SLCD)?

You can always unlock, and use fastboot - but I'm guessing you don't want to?

You're right, I don't want to
Ok, I downloaded signed-passion-img-FRG83_0923.zip from the htc website, renamed it to PASSIMG.ZIP. Copied it to the root of my sd card then booted into recovery. As soon as it enters it scans for various PASSIMG.XXX files, find the PASSIMG.ZIP file and starts a progress bar which lasts 20 sec. When the progress bar completes, it returns to the recovery menu and I can reboot. It never really asks me anything.
But reboot still leads me to the black screen.
I think it didn't do the update

How are you flashing your recovery? Terminal / adb?

It couldnt be easier
Download openZIO-clockworkmod-recovery-pack.zip
Extract to C:\
Run "m6000_setup.msi" in the CWM folder and Follow install.
**you may encounter software signature issues, just 'install software/driver anyway'.
Plug in your phone to USB, power down.
Boot to fastboot (Hold Send/End simultaneously til fastboot starts)
open a command prompt and navigate to the "CWM" directory
Code:
cd\
cd CWM
Fastboot boot into openzio_clockwork-recovery image
Code:
fastboot boot clockwork-recovery.img
Profit.
***You will Lose your Kyocera Logo once you RESTORE (due to the way cwm dumps the boot partition).
Please download the openZIO Boot Fix and install the zip with CWM.
This will flash the correct boot image and restore your Kyocera Logo.

I have edited this initial post because I have found a workaround to get clockwork recovery to load on the ZIO without wiping data/cache.
Unfortunately, until Koush gets the module fixed to run remotely from our phones, you will need to be connected to a PC, and know how to use Fastboot.
blah blah DISCLAIMER blah: I am not responsible IN ANY WAY for people screwing up/bricking their phones as a result of using this image.
....old method deleted by OP....
Thanks go out to Hotaru for compiling this recovery image, and obviously to Koush for making clockworkmod recovery.
Remember to hit the "Thanks" button if I helped you.
try downloading ROM Manager from the Market and then having it install the recovery.
Our phone isnt in the phone model list.
Install from sdcard prompts me to install clockworkmod recovery first.

isnt there a custom recovery option???? bet you can save that image from the page to the sd card and then run it through rom manager???
BTW I hate rom manager LOL.... I tryied to use it to format my sd card for link2sd.... and it tried to boot thephone into boot or recovery or something.... and ended up completely factory resetting my phone
hell I had even installed a handfull of apps before it happend LOL and my dumb ass didnt do a TI backup....

Well, we used fastboot to load it up.
Then used adb to tell it to boot into recovery. There was also some key combo I forget. It's all around page 30 or so of the 1.6 thread.
What do we need to do to make clockworkmod work?

Those images generally need to be flashed through fastboot, and fastboot might not even work depending on the bootloader.
you need the sdk installed first, and adb working and added to your $path.
after that
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
obviously, replace path/to/recoery with the actual path that you downloaded the file to.
That revocery image (I found out) is for the 1.6 OS.
Being as we have 2.2 and an updated kernel: would this recovery still work?
Guess I'll be the guinea pig for this afternoon. o.0
edit:
adb reboot bootloader is for our modem download mode.
To access fastboot, we just power down, then hold the power/end and send key simultaneously.
recovery only cares about the hardware, not the os or kernel, thats why you use it to flash custom roms and kernels. It boots before anything else is loaded.

First of all you need to 'find' fastboot again...
Clockwork 3.0.1.4
http://www.mediafire.com/?hcjs2a13t56g7ez
Update zip for SwiftDroid 1.5 (use "Install zip from SD Card" in recovery to apply)

If you need a file you should always check the link in my signature - most things are there
Thx man! But i don't use fastboot. For searching that 'm buzy for 2 months. Can i use YaffsExpert??
I guess it should work to flash clockwork at least...
Or use terminal on phone

if you want to flash just clockwork copry it to the root of your sdcard run terminal using these commands
su <enter> accept superuser permissions
flash_image recovery sdcard/recovery.img <enter>
reboot <enter>
hope this helps
I have no computer right now and I've tried flashing recovery images through terminal emulator but with no success. I downloaded a HERCIMG.zip that contains clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 recovery but hboot won't read it? It keeps saying 'no image found HERCIMG.zip' when I'm in the hboot section of bootloader. Anybody know why its not finding the HERCIMG.zip file? I'm at my wits end and am about to shoot this phone. Please help if you know anything.

I had this issue when I was pushing hercimgs to the sd card through adb without deleting the old (invalid) one first. Try deleting the hercimg from the card, empty the trash and manually add it again, then reboot to hboot. Don't know if this will work for you, but it worked for me.

Are you actually rooted? Have you tried installing ROM Manager from market and installing a recovery through that?
Yes, rooted with superuser and everything. ROM manager isn't seeming to flash the clockwork or RA recovery at all. Everytime I try to go into recovery mode, it sticks at the HTC screen.

a couple of times when I've used rom manager to flash recovery, I haven't been able to boot into it by any other means than by using the reboot recovery button in rom manager.

Yep. Everything is named correctly. But now the main problem is; why is it seeming like a successful flash (via terminal and Rom manager) then not booting in to recovery?

I'm pretty sure the reason rom manager was failing is because you had an unsupported version 3.0.0.5. Try this: rename that image to version 2.5.0.1 or 2.5.0.7 (leave the rest of the image name the same) so rom manager agrees with it and then try to flash a different one. Also afaik if you have rom manager it doesn't want you to use TE either, so it may disallow flashing thru there. Yet another reason I dislike rom manager, you should just delete it If you can flash a recovery using a HERCIMG.zip (I assume this means you are s-off) it will take any recovery you give it, there are no safety checks or signature checks at all.
