Bricked my Nexus One, Please Help

I was using MIUI NX A2SD version 1.8.5
Wanted to try the New version MIUI NX 1.9.x
So i Formated the SD using the "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" as 1gb EXT3 and Rest as FAT
Now i wen i reboot my mobile it doesnt BOOT IN.
It doesnt even boot into the recovery in theOOTLOADER .
Please help.
I DONT THINK I HAVE THE CLOCKWORK or AMON installed ... wat to do ?

If you have unlocked bootloader - just install the recovery through fastboot and reinstall any ROM you want.
If you don't have unlocked bootloader - you can either unlock it, or try to restore your Nexus using PASSIMG method and then root it without unlocking. If PASSIMG won't work - then you'll have to unlock the bootloader.
All the relevant guides are in the Wiki. Link in my signature.

I will try the PASSIMG method ...
I have flashed my mobile many times with many OS till now BLINDLY.
I always had either CLOCKWORK or AMON recovery installed. But after ther recent MIUI install i didnt install any RECOVERY.
So i am not able to get the RECOVERY options.

Recovery isn't connected to ROM in any way, and if you had the recovery installed before installing the ROM - you still have it. Boot to bootloader, choose "Recovery", press power button to select.

Download FRG83 ROM from here. FRG33 ROM from here can also be used, but might result in "Main version is older" error.
Rename the downloaded ZIP file to PASSIMG.ZIP.
Transfer the provided PASSIMG.ZIP file to the root of your SD card.
Power down your phone.
Hold down the Volume Down button as you power your phone back on.
A screen should appear showing your phone’s system searching for various files. This will take up to 2 minutes.
The phone will ask you if you want to start the update. Press the Volume Up button to start the update.
If you followed these steps correctly - congratulations, you are now on stock Froyo ROM.

When i click RECOVERY it does nothing.
ANy ways thank you very much for directing me UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER.
I followed the above posted link and NOW i can boot in. Thank you very much

As soon as I unlocked the Bootloader i was able to boot the mobile.
It is all new MIUI OS. all the data is gone.
Now i put a new MIUI rom ZIP file on SD and try to enter the RECOVERY menu but i cant.
Wat do i need to do to access the Recovery options ?

Make sure that there isn't a zip contained within a zip.
Anyway, the easiest way to get recovery back on your phone if you are back up and running with MIUI would be to install ROM Manager from the market and using it to flash your recovery.

Ok now the problm seems to be with SD card.
Now that i have booted into MIUI, i see that it is not detecting the SD card.
Installed Rom manager from market. It wants SD card to be accessed.
The SD card is working fine n my system. I might have formated it the wrong formats or something with the tool "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition"
Please let me know the exact format parameters.
I am formating as FAT32 - LOGICAL and another ext3 - LOGICAL

I would just recommend partitioning the card through recovery. Recovery will partition it the way it needs to be done. Just back up anything that is currently on the card.

You can't "click Recovery".
When you're in bootloader menu, you need to select the RECOVERY option using VOLUME UP/DOWN buttons, and press POWER button to select the option. If you can't - it means you're not doing it correctly.
The Wiki has section "Recovery", look at it and if you happen to have no recovery - flash a new one using the guide for unlocked bootloader there.

[Q] Help to flash stunner 2 from ultimate jb

please how to flash stunner 2 in my n7000 , i'm in ultimate rom v5.1

Ultimate already has a safe kernel. Boot into recovery and go to philz settings and choose clean before new rom install. Once done then install zip and choose the rom.

but they say that the phone must to be in cm10 and i tried to install cm10 attached in the rom thread and operation failed "install aborted"

You need to update philz kernel to 3.99 or above. Then it will work.. It's safe to install the rom when you have philz kernel.

[Recovery] & [Root]【T210R & T210】 CWM Recovery v6.0.4.9.KK [Unofficial]

[Recovery] & [Root]【T210R & T210】 CWM Recovery v6.0.4.9.KK [Unofficial]
READ THIS POST BEFORE INSTALLING ANY CUSTOM RECOVERY
Updated to CWM v6.0.4.9.KK on 9-23-14 to cooperate with KitKat bootloader.
Now with SELinux enabled kernel for flashing roms that require it
Click HERE for the latest version.
Compiled from source.
@ketut.kumajaya has provided us with a kernel for CWM recovery.
Please report any bugs here in this thread.
Please take a moment to say thanks and/or donate to @ketut.kumajaya for helping us out.
Thank you to everyone who has (and still will) help in testing!!!!
Credits go to:
@ketut.kumajaya for getting this initially working (see THIS post)
@Jamison904 for giving us root
@hkjr for getting ketut to help
@k.aibutsu and @Unjustified Dev for there device source work
and of course Koush and the CyanogenMod team
@Tomsgt for the video
Link to kernel source https://github.com/kumajaya/android_kernel_samsung_lt02
Watch THIS VIDEO tutorial for a step by step visual guide for performing the instructions listed below (thanks @Tomsgt for the video).
Supplied in 3 formats:
Odin flashable tar.md5 (for first time installation)
Recovery flashable zip (requires a custom recovery to currently be installed)
.img file (for those who use Flashify or other direct methods).
Instructions for Odin: (use the ...tar.md5)
1. Download ODIN to your computer.
2. Power off the device.
3. Restart in "Download Mode" by holding the "HOME" button, "Volume Down" and "Power" all at the same time (for about 5 seconds).
4. Hit the "Volume Up" to enter download mode.
5. Start the ODIN exe program. Un-check Auto Reboot. See notes about ODIN below.
6. Connect the device via USB to your computer. Verify the device shows as "Added" in the Message box. If it doesn't show then you need the Samsung USB drivers (just install KIES to get them).
7. Select "PDA" then choose the recovery file you want to flash.
8. Hit "START". Wait for Odin to finish (~10-15 seconds). The message area will display "RES OK" when finished.
9. Wait for device to restart. Skip this step if you unchecked auto reboot.
10. Restart directly to recovery mode before rebooting into OS.(Hold POWER, Volume UP, and the HOME button all at the same time. When you see the Samsung Logo, let go of the POWER button, but keep holding the Volume UP and HOME until you see the recovery screen).
After you get the custom recovery working, you can flash the latest SuperSu zip to get root.
Notes about ODIN
--Make sure that "Re-Partition" is NOT checked.
--Auto Reboot can be un-checked if CWM doesn't flash correctly on your device. Some have reported that un-checking Auto Reboot fixes this issue. If you un-check Auto Reboot, you will need to reboot the device yourself (refer back to step 10).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Watch this video to learn about the navigation issues and Rainbow Mode: http://youtu.be/iCNdxlNzdBI
If the highlight doesn't move on the recovery menu, the selection actually does change. Go ahead and hit Power to select. If the menu goes blank, just hit Volume Up or Down to get it to reappear.
It appears that the menu navigation issue only happens when you use the button combination to boot into recovery. If you use the Quick Boot app or "adb reboot recovery", it seems to work properly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Instructions for recovery flashable version:
Boot into your previously installed custom recovery.
Select the Install Zip option.
Find the recovery zip.
Flash.
Reboot recovery.
Enjoy your new recovery.

If you are using the recovery in post #1, then you can skip this post. This post contains modified stock recoveries only.
I recommend all T210R users should flash the newest firmware from Sammobile, ( or just use my pre-rooted version located HERE ).
The modified stock recovery zips below contain a recovery.tar.md5 file that can be flashed using ODIN. These will allow only Google test key signed zips to be flashed. There are two versions, one for the T210R and one for the T210 devices. Both versions work on my T210R, so try whichever one you feel is appropriate.

To make sure you are entering recovery correctly, can you install Quick Boot from the play store and use it to enter recovery mode.

I had to flash it to see if would do on the uk firmware. When i flash on the original, it made kernel panic.
Now i can flash it. Wanna hears something strange? My CSC is still NEE(nordic)

I think this relates also to the bootloader version. I will try to build T210 kernel with LZMA initramfs support so we can create a small recovery image. Blame Samsung/Marvell :laugh:

The modified stock recovery does not work for t210r. It still has navigation errors and flashing a google signed.zip(ex. Universalrootsigned.zip) has error called status 7. The only recovery that can run the signed root even in original firmware is the 2nd recovery posted by ketut.kumajaya.

Both package untested, flash it at your own risk!
NOTE: Kernel compiled using Google's arm-eabi 4.6, *lt023g_defconfig. Just compared 3g and wifi defconfig and saw different GPIO config (different buttons behavior?) I need T210 "cat /proc/version" output and please, a quick feedback :good:

Just uploaded the world's smallest Android recovery Both kernel and ramdisk compressed using xz compression method. Try it, may open the opportunities of CWM

My results from testing this morning.
I did a factory data reset and then flashed the full US (T210R) firmware to return to completely stock non-rooted status. Then I flashed the T210R modified stock recovery (that I posted here yesterday) and it worked perfectly. I then flashed the new universal root zip provided by @ketut.kumajaya (it did return one error 7 at the end, but still worked) and I was rooted. :good:
I then tried the ketut's new T210R LMZA recovery and it did work, but still had navigation issues. :good:
I then tried ketut's new XZ recovery, but got a kernel panic. :crying:
So, at least for my T210R (with the newest T201R firmware from Sammobile), the recovery in the OP still works perfect.
I look forward to hear more feedback from others users, but for now, I recommend all T210R users should flash the newest firmware from Sammobile, ( or just use my pre-rooted version located HERE ) then give the modified recovery a try.

Instruction How To Root Stock 4.4 for S4 Active 9295

Hello. I have found too confusing to find right thread about root for s4a 9295. Most threads about root are mixed with i537, so i think separate thread for 9295 regarding it will be good decision.
Instruction:
1. Install custom recovery via Odin (i use recovery by Mythi, look for the download link in his thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2752469);
2. Donload Superuser zip UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r3.zip
3. Copy su.zip to sdcard or internal memory;
4. Download in recovery mode;
5. Choose install zip from sd card (if zip on internal memory) or Choose zip from storage/sdcard1 (if zip on external sd card);
6. Install UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r3.zip;
7. After instaling, choose reboot to system, if recovery ask to fix root rights, choose NO;
8. After boot, start super user app and confirm disabling for Knox;
9. Conglaturations, you are rooted.

Hello. I have found too confusing to find right thread about root for s4a 9295. Most threads about root are mixed with i537, so i think separate thread for 9295 regarding it will be good decision.
Instruction:
1. Install custom recovery via Odin (i use recovery by Mythi, look for the download link in his thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2752469);
2. Donload Superuser zip UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r3.zip
3. Copy su.zip to sdcard or internal memory;
4. Download in recovery mode;
5. Choose install zip from sd card (if zip on internal memory) or Choose zip from storage/sdcard1 (if zip on wxternal sd card);
6. Install UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r3.zip;
7. After instaling, choose reboot to system, if recovery ask to fix root rights, choose NO;
8. After boot, start super user app and confirm disabling for Knox;
9. Conglaturations, you are rooted.

this procedure worked for me, im on i9295 stock 4.4.2
Thanks
Gerardo Mar.

yes it function, thx

I did this also but whit out these instructions... i went to hit yes when rebootting... The phosne is rooted yes, but i can't moun't back up..or flash anything else... does new reboot help???

Okay.. i did everything.. i re-flashed supersu, booted, re-booted and said no to rootfix.. Usb debugging on , and supersu apk setting checked and there is head user allowed..
I tried to make back up again but it did not work.
CWM starts to make back up but on the end it said can´t mount it... if i check my SD card there is back up folder and i think that there is also back up file (size1,95G).
I tried to restore but CWM saids something MD5 file failed...
So i´m rooted but i can´t flash new rom...

Try to reflash via Odin, and then do according to instruction.

Ok i will try that..
Can it be wrong rom what i have tried to flash... supersu flashing was ok, but when i try to flash samsung stock 4.2.2 rom , it does not work...
Do they have different bootloader.
My phone is also encrypted... does it matter?

It does not work... if i flash new rom (4.2,2 stock) using odin , flashing procedure stops and fails.. phone gets stucked and only way to get phone working is to flash KK stock firmware back...
So maybe i'm having some issue with the rom... i can' t find any another working. rom.... so i' m dead end.....

Hi the problem is that your bootloader is locked and it wont let you go back to 4.2.2 because of that... I read on the forum safetrap take a look on it. This may help you

Okay..
I9295 does not have locked bootloader... so i managed to solve my problem..
For some reason i could not to make backup of stock rom so just wiped all and flashed 4.3 slim and configured it and backupped...
I also flashed stock deoxed JB, and now i can get drivelink app to work again.
I also tried to flash safestrap but there was no SS to i9295 so i tried us version SS.
Everything works fine but i could not to make any rom slots.. i did not have enough memory.... but for real there was plenty of memory..
One problem is that every time i try to flash stock jb it soft bricks the phone... kk flash is fine..

It looks like you have a custom recovery and need to flash a ROM. Try downloading a ROM from XDA and flashing it. You need to put the ROM on an SD card and flash it using the menu options.

don't have a sd card, can I do this with my mac somehow and usb connected to the phone?

also where do I download the rom and how do I flash it with what software?

Look in the XDA Developers forum under "Xperia Z3 Compact Android Development". You will find various ROMs in the discussions as well as links for downloading them. The ROMs well be large ZIP files. Transfer them to the phone using a tool called ADB. You can install this on a Mac and transfer the ZIP via a USB cable.

Google's ADB and Mac for installation instructions.

Once the ZIP file is on the phone, boot into recovery mode and select "Install ZIP". Then select the ZIP file that you transferred.

So u have cwm, thats good for now.
Download a Rom u want to flash. For example a Stock kitkat Rom.then use the cwm sideload Option to copy it to ur internal storage. When this is done wipe System,Cache &dalvik Cache. Do NOT wipe the internal storage.then flash the zip u Put in via sideload and reboot. If u done all correct System should Boot.

I think I wiped it I know I tried to clean everything and pressed every option, not sure, where is the link for the stock kitkat rom, there are so many pages and links I can't find it.

You have a custom recovery...you cannot therefore flash a stock rom.
Download a custom rom. Place it on your sd card, and flash it from recovery.
