a while back i encountered some sort of error that caused my boot1 partition to disappear, leaving a gear-type-image on bootup
i believe i was doing something with adb. I know there is a command in adb to delete a partition, however i could not find one to recreate a partition, so i have been stuck with this gear since then
it's not a major issue, as it has no real effect on performance, and it doesnt show up unless i boot my phone, which i never turn off, however if there is a way to fix it, i would like to.
anyone got any ideas on how i could restore my boot1 partition?
is it the first image that appears on your phone or after that where the animation should be?
it's the first image.
it appears where the "Rogers" logo would be
if you can find the original rogers boot image, it may be in the rogers real root thread by haykuro, you can fastboot flash splash1 nameofsplashimage.rgb565 and that should fix it. the first image when your phone boots up is called splash1.
that is exactly the issue, when i try to flash my splash1, it tells me the partition does not exist
just wanted to bump this one, kuz im still lookin for the answer
1)find a splash image on these forums (it should be in .rgb565)
2)then boot into bootloader mode, and press back until youre in fastboot mode
3)connect the phone to USB, the screen should not show fastboot USB
4)On PC open console and type in adb fastboot flash splash1 [Directory to your splash image file eg C:/Android/Mysplash.rgb565]
5)Reboot the phone
or if you just want to flash the stock splash image follow these instructions

you need to have a non perfect SPL for this to work but since you managed to delete it im assuming you already have one lol
Ok i know a thread of this kind has probably been made a couple of times, and i apologize for this, but i have been searching every where to find a way to make my nexus one back to stock. I know once the bootloader is locked i cant reverse that but i just want to have the original stock recovery image. I currently have amonRA 1.7.0 recovery image. I have tried everything possible that i know, and as I must mention im not a really a good adb user. I mostly know how to use custom recovery images, load roms, themes, mods, etc. I have read a couple of threads where it would help me revert back original state but i just cant figure it out. I would very much appreciate it if someone would help me out and give me a step by step procedure i can use to flash a recovery image.
I currently have my nexus on ERD79 stock rom, no mods no nothing.
Firmware is 2.1(not 2.1update1)
thanks for the help!

this puts everything back to original even recovery img.. this is full instructions
and once its "unlocked" it cant be Relocked.. it stays unlocked
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614057
the PASSIMG
Step 2. unzip the original shipping ROM and put it somewhere you can find.
Step 3. Plug in Nexus One with USB to computer (enable usb and debug modes)
Step 12. Skip to step 13 if you want to keep recovery (assuming you have a modified recovery such as Amon_RA's recovery). If not
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Step 13. fastboot reboot
Thanks for this but i came across this thread and to be honest i got lost after it asked to put the unziped file where i can find it.
Can you give me an idea where i could put it?
Oh and i downloaded the passimg.zip and i couldnt extract it, my comp said file is invalid.
thanks again.
Ok ill see if i can unzip it for you sir
or you can try it this way too
http://www.mediafire.com/file/e5t4504thl2ry42/recovery.rar
there you go man recovery image from the thread posted before
1. Plug the phone into the computer
2. Reboot into fastboot by holding TrackBall + Power (you should see three Androids on skateboards and the words 'fastboot USB' in red)
3. On the computer, open a command prompt cd to the sdk/tools directory (we will assume the SDK is located in C:\android-sdk and the recovery file is in the root of the sdk/tools directory for the following steps)
4. With the phone connect via USB, open up a cmd prompt
Code:
adb reboot recovery"
5.
Code:
adb devices
A device name and 'recovery' should be returned
6.
Code:
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/recovery.img
recovery.img is located on android-sdk/tools dir
7.
Code:
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
This permanently flashes the recovery.img to your phone, you can now boot into it by holding Vol- while powering on the device
8. Reboot

i apologise if this seems like a noob question, but i searched everywhere, and couldn't find the answer.
I followed the steps to flash the stock recovery to my nexus, and when i boot into the recovery mode to test it, it's just a blank screen with an error triangle and a little android standing next to it.
Is this what the stock recovery is meant to be? or did something go wrong in the process?
Yeah that should be the stock recovery, you should be able to press the power button and volume up and get a blue text list saying reboot system now, apply sdcard:update.zip.... etc.
yes, thank you very much for clearing that up for me
see my guide: [UNROOT] Unroot al android devices which was also posted on the front page. this step allows you to get a stock recover image specifically for YOUR GOOGLE NEXUS PHONE, not just generic google nexus phones
hate to revive a thread thread but im having the same delima.
i just bought a nexus one from CL and it was loaded up with a 2.3 rom. Im guessing its not using stock kernals, baseband, etc etc.
Im trying to get it back to stock EVERYTHING. i know i cant relock the bootloader but other than that, i want to revert it back to what you get right when you open the box. im not even sure what a recovery image is... but if its different when u flash different roms, i would like that stock too lol.
i know about the passingimg method but i wasn't sure if thats compatible with all roms (kind of like how unlocking iphones only works with certain basebands). i also wasn't sure if that'll return everything to stock, kernal, OS, modem, radio, recovery (?), etc.
im not very familiar with adb either. can anyone PLEASE help me out?
this is the method im talking about http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...des_&_Tutorials#Unroot_.2F_Restore_your_Nexus
would the passingimg get EVERYTHING back to stock? or would it leave the custom recovery, kernal, or something else etc.
Hi,
I bought a faulty Nexus one from ebay, thought I can fix it, as I did buy a faulty desire from ebay and was able to fix it. This time im not so lucky I guess.
So here it is:
The phone is stuck at X when booting normally.
I can access HBoot (But not Hboot USB Plug, because USB debugging is not enabled) and Fastboot USB. I unlocked Hboot. Fastboot in PC recognizes the phone but ADB does not as usb debugging is not enabled.
The phone is not Rooted
Here are my ideas so far:
Get somehow debugging on with some commands (No luck from reshearching in google)
Reflash stock rom with PASSIMG.ZIP in sdcard, but my phone does not recognize the file from my sdcard (I'm pretty certain im doing something wrong or my idea is somehow wrong)
Flash new images through FASTBOOT, but every time Signature check fails (Shipped-roms.com).
Root with superboot, but signature check failed here too.
Flash a recovery, signature check fails.
I will reguraly update my tries
Please suggest correction to my ideas or suggest new ones!
Help will be much appreciated!
I admit it, the phone might be briked, but I want to make sure that I have tried everything before I abandon this project.
And ofcourse I have no Warranty.
What file are you using for passimg.zip? Make sure it's not a zip inside a zip.
What images are you using via the fastboot flash command?

You didn't unlock the bootloader, it seems - because if you did, it wouldn't be checking signatures, and you'd be able to flash anything.
First of thanks to both of you for helping.
I'm pretty sure that i do not have zip inside zip and I downloaded them from shipped roms.com -> android -> Passion-> PASSIMG_Google .... .ZIP, (Then renamed it ofcourse) Is there a difference what version of android i use?
The issue with this is, it checks the SD CARD and does not find anything. I have seen from google that the most common issue is that it starts to check the .zip file but then aborts. Does the SDCARD have to be a goldcard (I do have a goldcard but it might be faulty, right?)
I tried fastboot flash PASSIMG_Google.... .ZIP; Fastboot Flashall ( With having boot, recovery, system in my fastboot folder)
Maybe I should try to flash everything the .zip has in it seperately because that succeded for boot, system and recovery but I was too afraid to flash every partitation (Like Radio which seems to be the scariest and the most easiest way to brick phone)
For the third answer, I have ***UNLOCKED*** in bootloader in purple and top on the screen.
Once again thanks and keep suggesting!
Unpack the ZIP and flash each image separately.
Leave the radio as is, if it's updated enough (5.08 or 5.12). In any case, fastboot won't allow you to flash bad radio - and the risk of bricking the phone using fastboot is near 0.
For passimg.zip, you need to download the FRG33 shipped ROM from shipped-roms.com then EXTRACT the zip file that is inside the zip that you downloaded. Rename that file to passimg.zip
For fastboot, flash boot and system seperately.
When you boot the device normally, do you see the lock icon below the four colored x?
Sent from my Nexus One
Okay,
Did it one by one (PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_release_signed.zip):
Succeeded:
Boot, Recovery, System and Userdata (that was only 3Kb)
Failed with signature check (Remote:Signature check failed):
Splash1, spcustom,
Did not do:
Radio
I'm going to post more details:
When booting up, it displays the X normally with the unlocking badge on the bottom of the screen and vibrates once. Then it goes black for a second or even less, the same images comes on and then it vibrates 6-7 times.
now that you successfully flashed the stock recovery, cam you boot into it?
Sent from my Nexus One
Nope, it does that what I described on the previous post
Oh and what's more it randomly during no activity being in fastboot vibrates as well for 5 times or so. It does this rarely but it's there
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710937
Thanks, Well thats it then for now, just have to figure out what to do now
Sounds like you need to get the PASSIMG.zip method to work, or unlock and flash a new recovery like amon ra, and flash a full rom with sig checks off.

Ok, but can you boot into recovery? In other words, boot into the bootloader and select recovery.
any solution?

Did you try all the solutions suggested above (passimg, fastboot flash, etc)? If yes then no I don't think so.
I have been searching all afternoon, here is my problem. I had issues with some radio and SPL files last night (won't verify), and someone pointed me to a newer version but they are *.img files...I've never loaded anything but the recovery partition as an image file.
I looked this up and it says it needs "fastboot"
90% of the searches tell you how to install the SDK (even though fastboot is in the title, it's never mentioned in the body of the post), thanks, I have the SDK since I got my phone, but I don't have or see fastboot anywhere in it.
So my newbie question is how do I fastboot the *.img files onto my G1, since I don't see fastboot on SDK or on my phone?
Second newbie question, when I see the directions for installing they list the fastboot commands serially...so do I have to reboot after each img load or can I just load one then the next without rebooting/power cycle?
Thanks.

1.turn off the phone . open fastboot on the phone by holding back and power.
2.open up command prompt with admin priveliges. use the command "cd" for main android sdk directory, wherever you have it.
3. once found the directory, for me its X:/AndroidSDK/ , refer to the tools by adding the /tools like so: X:/AndroidSDK/tools
.
4. enable fastboot devices by typing the command fastboot devices
5. use the command fastboot flash *****.img.
if you are flahing new radio and hboot's. PLEASE flash the radio first!!!! and with the second question, you can flash the next img right after, just make sure you do the correct ones first.
I'm still missing something here
Back+power = rainbow screen, now I'm stuck because my ADB command fails here, no device detected (it works on normal power up, or even in recovery mode).
So my issue is with item #2, how can I "open up a command prompt" from the rainbow screen? gonna search on that though.
Is this a hack that I missed?
I DO see fastboot in my tools directory.
ooops androids on skateboards are gone
Think I found it....
"...you need to replace your bootloader with an unlocked G1 bootloader that has fastboot enabled..."
So my old build had it, and my new one (1.6 rooted) does not....so need a known good ROM with fastboot enabled.
haha, that only took me all day.
Help please, need a ROM that supports Fastboot
Yes, I'm an idiot...while there is tons of information here, even tutorials and walkthroughs, the amount of time I had to spend searching and reading to find what I wanted is phenomenal. I have been out of it for a while, and it's gotten much worse in many ways and better in some ways too.
What I don't understand is why so many ROM's fail to load still. The tools and processes are much better understood now but many ROM's fail at loading, at least that I tried.
There are also tons of dead links to ROM's, frustrating for someone not familiar with the site.
I want a simple fast ROM, FAST = 3.0 MFLOPS+ on LINPACK, that is reasonably stable...not having much luck so far.
THANKS! for all the help.
I recently attempted to return my HTC One to stock ROM and all that fun stuff. I must have made a mistake somewhere along the line because now I'm stuck in fastboot. Phone won't even boot into ROM or Recovery.
Any attempts to use fastboot commands from the prompt just result in failure.
I'm not sure what to do from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I've figured it out for the most part. Well on my way to getting my device back to normal.
