N1 won't accept any ROM imgs

So a buddy sent me his N1 that had been stuck in a boot loop. I asked him to give me the details of what the phone had been through. Of course he didn't know squat! I assume it's a European version (he's in the Philippines).
When I got the N1 it didn't boot to recovery but it did boot to bootloader. I was finally able to flash Aman_RA recovery thru adb. Now I can boot into recovery. I've tried flashing 3 different roms (all MD5 checks pass) but the N1 one shoots out different errors for each ROM. For ex. Missing wallpaper/desire.jpg or some other weird error.
I've been searching for 2 weeks. When I enter bootloader mode and hboot, the device looks for a PASSDIAG.zip. I dl a stock image from the developer.htc site and renamed it to PASSDIAG.zip. If finds it but then gives error about missing PASSDIAG.nbh or image not being the right one.
If I use adb to wipe the cache (in bootloader mode) it works fine, but when I try to wipe userdata I get the "FAILED" to wipe error. Fastboot windows-devices gives me HTCxxxxxxxx so i know it communicates. And i was able to flash recovery twice. No problems .
EDIT: IF YOU NOTICE IN THE SECOND IMAGE THE BLUE STATUS BAR SHOWS UP AND GOES TO THE TOP AS IF IT ACTUALLY WAS DOING SOMETHING
I tried to flash an image using fastboot and adb (flash userdata userdata.img ) but it just hangs for ever.
I just can't flash an Os on this thing. Trully, bricked me thinks?
How do I know what original build should be on it? As I read to flash an original recovery. I can only get the Aman_RA to flash.
Someone mentioned to get ahold of the stock build for EPF30. How in the world do they know that. I sure as hell can't find it...lol. Everything in google search points me to everything but that build.
Thanks in advanced.

Go to Wiki, link in my signature.
Install Amon_Ra's latest recovery.
Go to Stock ROM section and download the only Eclair ROM it has there, the first one.
Go to Guides, look at "unroot/restore", PASSIMG.ZIP method. Execute.
If it doesn't flash the PASSIMG - post the error it gives.
If it does and you're on Eclair - congratulations, work your way from there.

I see 26 images. I assume this one is it "Passion-EPE54B.zip"? Seeing as the first one is ATT. Thank you for pointing me to this wiki. Can't wait to try it.

Did you try selecting clear storage?

@ SiN Well, it's weird. In recovery I can wipe storage, cache and dalvic cache. I wiped everything that could be wiped. And still got errors on any rom I tried.
So in fastboot adb I tried
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
and I get an error FAILED. But when I do
Code:
fastboot erase cache
it says OK!
I'm gonna try what Jack suggest right now....I will post update in a few hours? LOL, I'm @ work and will try to get this to work from these PCs

The passimg you used, it wasn't a zip within a zip was it? That can cause the blue bar thing.

So the .zip I used was the second from the top in the stock rom wiki. I think EPF45, and I get an error. I renamed it to PASSIMG.zip (made sure its not a zip of a zip) and got the red status bar. One error...."cannot unzzip .zip" see picture. Now I get static x screen that turns to pixelated dust. LOL...almost there. I guess its a rom region thing?

Try:

Repeat several times.
Looks like your system partition fails when attempting write. Might be a failed partition, might be something recoverable.
Then try to apply PASSIMG again.

Have you tried booting into recovery? Power+volume down...

Did you try to boot without the SD card? It helped me once.

Assuming you are running a custom recovery image, go to it via the bootloader menu (Turn phone on while holding volume down, then navigate to recovery using the volume buttons and selecting recovery using the power button). You should then be able to flash the same ROM you currently have installed. If however this is a completely stock device then you could run PASSIMG.zip via the bootloader to save your current install. If you need more info just ask

how to wipe??
where is wipe option...let me tell u that i cant able to access recovery menu ..without recovery menu i cant wipe or flash the phone??
is that true?

If you can flash a rom use 2.1.1 not 2.1. Assume you are doing that thru fastboot from pc.
Also, try the 3 finger reboot to get to recovery.
Hold down pwr/vol-/trackball at sametime until phone boots into bootloader, then navigate to recovery option. Then wipe all and restore a good bu. If this happened while dl'ing apps, one may be bad. Get all of them off phone and do one at a time.

Ok, understand now.
You may have some options thru fastboot and the pc. Do you have SDK installed on pc. I am not good at that, someone else may have suggestions along those lines. Unless, as I asked, you already have used that method to flash amon ra 2.1.
If you can thru fastbboot with SDK I would still flash amon 2.1.1

I am out of ideas, sorry
Someone will get you going
Sounds like you are using SDK, it may be the way to wipe and get back to an original phone state, then reupgrade. I don't know sdk very well.
Did you try the other idea of trying to get to recovery with sd card out of phone. If you do that you may want to back it up while out of phone if you have a sd card reader
Good Luck and wait for more help

[HELP] Can't open recovery menu

Hii all!
I've made a new post to explain thing better. My main problem is that I can't get into my recovery menu.
A few weeks ago I've successfully rooted my Milestone (bootloader 90.78 > vulnerable recovery From this post > Copied OpenRecory + update.zip (G.O.T. OpenRecovery) to my SD card) But then i wanted to install a custom ROM. So I thought it was good to start over with a clean phone, I followed the "[HOW-TO] Get your Milestone back to stock" guide. I downloaded the following .sbf "SHOLS_U2_02.36.0_UCASHLSMR2EMEAB1B806D.0R_PDS003_USASHLS00RTGB_P026_A019_HWp2a_1FF.sbf", flashed my phone with this .sbf, all went fine. Then the vulnerable recovery needed to be installed, I've tried several vulnerables. But after completed the install I cant get into the recovery, I'm stuck at the /!\ screen. Can someone help me?
Thanks
OLD POST:
[old]Hii all!
I have a really nasty problem here. I can't open the recovery menu, I'm stuck at the /!\ image, tried the two key combinations, but no one works.
I already rooted my phone and I wanted to install a custom ROM. But before this I wanted a clean/stock phone, so I flashed him to stock .sbf. Then I installed vulnerable to get into recovery menu >> doesn't work. OK. Lets install the bootloader again + vulnerable >> doesn't work. Can someone help me with this, I really want a custom ROM and root (again)
Thanks, eXtink[/old]

Hi, I also have this problem.

The dev website only shows 2.1? is their site outdated?

Hi!
I'm suffering the same problem:
I tried with the phone as I got it (no flash nor anything) - Could enter recovery mode (Power + CAM) but no menu display with VOLUP + CAM at the same time nor first VOLUP and then CAM.
I tried installing openrecovery and also androidiani, but after flashing vulnerable recoveri 90.78 and starting in recovery mode the same problem, no menu.
I flashed G.O.T telus 2.2.1 and still the same problem
Any ideas?

A few points:
You should ALWAYS be able to get to the default recovery. The default
recovery is not useful for flashing ROMs, but if you can't get to it, you have serious issues.
The default recovery can be accessed by powering on the phone with camera pressed down until you see the exclamation/triangle icon/cell phone icon.
RELEASE all buttons.Then press VOLUME UP (leaving it pressed down) and hit the camera button again (once). It should INSTANTLY give you a recovery menu.
You should now be in the RECOVERY (not OpenRecovery). You should a small number of options : reboot, apply update.zip,etc.
If you have not correctly installed the Vulnerable Recovery, you won't be able to use the apply update.zip option to run Open Recovery, Androidiani, etc.
The following thread is the best guide to get a recovery installed. Follow it exactly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932196
The best recovery for Milestone is Androidiani. GOT recovery is OLD. OpenRecovery works fine, but Androidiani has more options for Milestone.
The general steps are:
1) Flash a GOT sbf using RSD lite. This installs vulnerable recovery
2) Download Androidiani. Put its update.zip in the ROOT of you SDCARD and put the OpenRecovery FOLDER (unzipped) also in the ROOT of the SDcard
3) Enter Recovery (as described above)
4) Choose Apply update.zip to get into Androidiani
5) Follow instructions for the ROM you want to use...
I hope this helps! It has worked on thousands of milestones. I see no reason for it to fail on yours.

Post the video and we can see if you have a problem.
Did you try starting from scratch using the appropriate GOT sbf?
The recovery gets overwritten by that sbf, so if this is succesful, any corrupted recovery problem should go away.

Try plugging your usb cable between your pc and phone, and then enter recovery

As stated in the name, to get into OpenRecovery you want to enter Recovery mode. When the phone is off, hold power+x until you see the Motorola logo. Then hold camera+vol-up to enter recovery mode, select update.zip and then you will be in OR.

I've done that but the only thing that shows up is the bootloader which says batteryk
ok to program
transfer mode: usb
thats the part that it wont go past

did you turn off the phone before you tried?

Yes, tried it with phone off first but no luck

I hv the same problem. The update file is corrupted.
I flashed back to original rom then recovery then open recovery...
finally, custom rom.

Happened to me to way before. It was because the sbf file we flash through rsd lite was corrupted or something. If you need a good version maybe I can tell you where to find it.good luck.

Solution
Above post is mine.
I was stuck at LG Logo for 2 whole days.
You have to flash your phone.
I flashed my phone with same v20a (4.1.2 JB) firmware.
now its working absolutely fine.
Download LG Flash tool
Download Firmware.
pull battery out, Put it back in,
hold VOL- and Connect usb cable
then your phone will be in S\W mode.
then run Flash tool and select Firmware file,
and flash it.
your phone will restart automatically, then pull out cable and let it start on its own.
DONE.!
for LG Flash tool and Original V20A firmwares google and search.
as I am new member I am not allowed to post links or else i would have posted all the new links.
Its easy, all the best..!

so no hope for me?
can't flash KDZ, it just dosen't work, or freezes, or app stop responding and force-closes, when flashing by flashtool it errors after 17 sec...
any ideas?
