Stuck on N1 logo but not bricked

I searched before I posted this question since I know it is a common question but I can't seem to figure out the problem with my phone.
I recently just bought it and I decided to root it. I following the instructions from wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_Nexus_One_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod When I went through the instructions, everything went through smoothly. No errors, all were complete installs but my Nexus One is stuck at the boot screen now. I waited for over 20 minutes but it wouldn't budge at all. I've done the procedure after "fastboot oem unlock" and "Flash CyanogenMod" already but it doesn't seem to make a difference. The flash that I'm currently using is the update-cm-5.0.5.1-N1-signed and gapps-passion-ERE36B-2-signed. Do you have any idea what could be wrong with it or what do you suggest any steps I should take to fixing it?
I don't think my phone is bricked since I'm able to go into Bootloader mode and Recovery.

Try a wipe and if not reflash and re wipe.

Mine is doing this too and i did exactly what OP did
Even after a wipe. Im reflashing right now

5.0.5.2 has just been released. Apparently fixes this bug. get it while it's hot.

Its still taking forever to boot. Im still watching it. What exactly do i do to do a "Wipe"?

Damn I don't have a microSD reader. =\
Is there any way to put the ROM on the microSD via Nexus One?

I'm having the same problem. This is on the recently released ATT compatible N1. I am able to go into Amon_Ra's 1.7 recovery and successfully install the V5.0.5.2 and gapps-passion-EPE54B-signed.zip but still have the same problem. Stuck on the X with the lock. I keep putting the original Rom back and doing it again after a full wipe and still have the same problem.

you dont have your usb cable? I was thinking about that too. Cause i know the nexus has its own memory internally but it doesn't show up under my computer. maybe you can push files through command prompt or something. or on linux

If you have the Amon_Ra's recovery you can do a wipe once you're in recovery.
If you made a backup of the original rom you can just put that back and boot into the original rom. once there, you can mount the usb and download it to the sdcard
you can also download the cyanogen updater from the android market and download the rom to your sdcard to install.

What did the trick for me was fresh install of Cyanogen 5.0.5 which i got to boot succesfully AND THEN use cyanogen updater to get to 5.0.5.2

2 ways, either plug it in via usb and mount it from your notification bar on the phone, or download the rom via the web browser on your phone, then use Astro file browser(free) to move it from downloads to the root folder of your SD card, then flash from recovery.

How long does it usually take to restore? I have about 18 lines of dots. Should it be taking this long?

5.0.5 first then update
Install the base 5.0.5 first then the google add on if you want the apps. After you boot like that update to the latest CM. I saw this some other place and this worked for me, don't wanna take anyone's credit.

Thanks everyone. 5.0.5.2 worked flawlessly once I was able to put it on my microSD.

If you guys don't have a MicroSD Reader, and have the AmonRA recovery, just boot to the recovery and chose I think the 3rd option (Toggle MS USB). You'll be able to see the phone as a mass storage device.

Help on Entering Recovery and Flashing Please?

Okay .... I have sucessfully rooted the wife's original Verizon Moto Droid and I have installed CWM via ROM Manager. I have performed a backup of her current ROM.
From the looks of things here, I will just load the ROM I want to flash onto her sd card and then flash it via ROM Manager. Is this correct? If it fails half way through the flash, can I still enter CWM via the key sequence to re-flash/restore the phone to its original state using the backup on the card from ROM Manager?
I gave her this phone when I bought my Samsung Droid Charge when it came out back last March. I can flash ROMs & Kernels on that phone all day long but the Moto Droid is an entirely different animal. I want to be sure of my fail-safes before I flash anything here.
Thanx In Advance for Your Help

Okay ... cwm just didn't take the first time I flashed it. I am now able to enter CWM from a powered off state.
[Q] If I flash a rom and it doesn't take half way through the flash, will I still be able to enter cwm and install the backup of her current rom? That ROM is not in a zip format on the sd card. It is a tar file and the other components in a folder.
I want to be sure I can recover the phone if I experience a bad flash before I attempt anything. Remember, this is my WIFE'S phone !!! LOL
Any help appreciated.
Edit: Also, I installed RSD lite on my computer but when I open it and hook the phone up, it doesn't see the phone. At least, from what I can tell it doesn't. I click 'show' device and nothing happens. Is this a flashing tool or do I put the ROM on sd card and flash via rom manager? And the fail-safe !! Gotta have the fail-safe !!!

[Q] Challenging technical issue

I have a problem and i would be very thankful if anyone could help me solve it:
I looked around the guides here and on youtube and found out that installing a custom rom is much better than sticking with the original gingerbread, so that's what i did. I tried RocketRom for a while and decided that i want to try checkrom to see which is better. So i downloaded the rom, performed all the wipes (cache, dalvik and battery stats) and reset the phone to factory. However due to my immense stupidity i forgot to put the rom on the internal phone memory and i saved it on my microsd card instead. so now i'm stuck: I can't access my internal phone memory because my phone won't start (either bootloops or it shows the boot animation once and then a black screen with nothing on it). And i wasn't able to use CWM to flash the rom using my microsd card because it keeps giving me the error "unable to mount". I looked around again and read that i should format the microsd card but nothing changed and i kept getting the same error.
So this is basically it. Is there a way to access the internal phone memory with my phone turned off? If not, what should i do? I just need to paste the damn rom but i couldn't figure out what to do :S
Any suggestions will be very very appreciated, and thank you for your cooperation

Seems like you have issues with CWM as I can access the external sd card without problems..
I think that your only solution is to:
-flash a pre-rooted GB ROM from THIS thread
- Use Chainfire's corresponding kernel to the ROM you flashed so you can get CWM recovery, get it from HERE
- after having both rooted ROM and the CWM recovery transfer the ROM you want to the sd card and flash it from CWM Recovery
Hope this helps

thanks
Thank you for the prompt reply, but i am still quite confused: how can i flash a rom if my phone does it boot? how will i get the rom to the phone memory? Remember the microsd card isn't working so i can't use it for flashing.

The ROMs in that thread use the .tar format and are flashed using PC Odin which uses download mode follow the instructions posted there and you're out in no time hopefully

OK
Ok which version do you recemmend? and should i use a wipe or non-wipe version?

[Q] Brick GT-i9000, Can't flash rom using CWM

Hi all,
I've searched most forums and google and nothing found that I can use to revive my GT-I9000.
For background, I just rooted my galaxy using
* SuperOneClick and install TB, etc
* Install CWM by using CF-Root (I prev. have Android System Recovery (3e) and so need to follow addictivetips how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-samsung-galaxy-s-i9000)
* Take Nandroid backup of original firmware
* Flashed CM7 and CM9 back and forth with no issue.
My problem started when I thought I could just use the nandroid backup of original firmware and remove the bloatware, because CM9 is not on stable version yet.
The nandroid backup can’t boot up, so I goto recovery mode and try to reflash CM7 and CM9. The CWM from CF-Root can’t mount the SD card anymore, thus can’t flash the ROM.
I flash the “hardcore-speedmod.tar” from Full_Update_Guide using ODIN and got to the CWM 2.5.1.0 and can see the SD card, but when I try to flash CM7 or CM9, it says “assert failed: getprop (“ro.product.device”) == “galaxys” and a whole bunch of getprop with Status 7 and installation aborted at the end.
This is the same CM7 and CM9 that I used many times before and still in my internal SD card.
I've tried wipe data and cache but doesn't work. Going to Download mode or Recovery mode is not and issue though
I could try restore all from the nandroid backup but it says be carefull, so i hesitate as not want to make it worse. This nandroid backup is also created from diffrerent recovery (created using 3e and now CWM 2.5.1.0 that's running) - Update: took my chance but didn't work as can't mount
I’m not sure how I can copy other files into the internal SD card as well (in Windows).
I’m at my wits end and have search a lot and tried many things.
Please help
Cheers.
John

Try flashing some older stock android version over ODIN first, than root etc all over again. I had a similar problem just weeks ago and it did work for me, after screwing with it for 3 hours... Will search for some links and post them here, if I find them..

Go look in ask me anything I have the answer, there's a basic guide to save your phone, I have used it a few times and I have saved my phone from the situation u are in.
If you like my posts hit thanks

Last post before I go to sleep with a smile on my face.
For those who might have the same problem, below is what I did.
Did the "[ROM][ODIN]noobfriendly stock jvt firmware (root included)" thread to the T and works the 2nd time. 1st try almost killed the phone with BSOD appearring though.
Thanks for the tip jerdms.
IT'S ALIVEEEE.

[Q] Which SD card do they refer to?

My brother has a Galaxy Ace(As do I) and he was wanting to put a rom on it, so I showed him a few tutorials on xda and helped him through the process. I myself don't have a rom on my phone, but I spent a good half month trying to fix my phone after my friend convinced me to flash a rom designed for the S3...Yeah, bad mistake...
So in all the tutorials they say to just put it on your sd-card and then flash it from recovery and etc. So we tried that and it ended up not working(At least it seemed like it didn't, I know you are supposed to wait 10 or so minutes to see if it gets out of the boot loop, and we waited about 20 mins) so I just reflashed a stock rom using Odin and everything was fine.
But it got me thinking, is there a specific location you should be putting the file on when you flash it? Because it was just on the external SD-Card, not the internal SD-card, is that a problem?
Also, is CWM Recovery required, or is it just to prevent you from needing to reflash a stock rom after you screw up?
Still kind of a noob when it comes to this stuff, thanks in advance =)

Put the file on the root of your external micro SD card, not inside any folder, not in internal memory, just on sd card [ sd/*here* ]......
Some ROM can't be flashed via phones recovery, they do need CWM Recovery + CWM recovery (backing up the data) help you to save your phone's data if anything goes wrong
