The phone is unlocked and is working fine but out of the sudden it is hung at boot up screen.
Now i cannot even access the RA-nexus recovery gui. It will hang at the screen with the 'X' logo.
I tried to re-flash the recovery but got the below error when i try to do a fastboot.
"
D:\Downloads\Nexus One\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot devices
123456789012 fastboot
D:\Downloads\Nexus One\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot flash recovery recover
y-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.img
sending 'recovery' (3948 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
D:\Downloads\Nexus One\android-sdk-windows\tools>
"
Another weird output when i ran the 'fastboot-windows.exe devices -s'
"
C:\1>fastboot-windows.exe devices -s
123456789012 fastboot
"
Seems like i need a GoldCards for Nexus One but i don't know how to make it since my only Nexus One is not accessible now.
Any help on this??

Just try this. I know with the mt3g it worked a few time. Try to erase the recovery partition (IE: fastboot erase recovery). This will erase the recovery image. THEN immediately after reflash the recovery (IE: fastboot flash recovery <PATH TO Amon_RA1.0.7>)....Report back your findings
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR FURTHER PROBLEMS!!!! YOU UN-LOCKED AND ARE PERFORMING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

When my recovery went bonkers, I used a stock recovery image to fix the issue.

Give that a try and see if things aren't more normal.
I guess it somehow lost its root access and now my nexus one is useless until i can get hold of a goldcards.

You can pull out the recovery from the stock passion image... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642811
If you can't flash the stock recovery as well, try a complete restore to stock... rename the zstock passion image zip to PASSIMG.zip, copy to the SD card,, boot into bootloader and when it asks, apply the update...
One more thing, you could try Koush's Clockwork recovery image from http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html (direct link http://koush.romraid.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-passion.img)

Try getting a warranty/RMA for your device. There is something larger going on here than the fact the phone is unlocked...you should be able to flash recovery even if that partition is hosed.
actually, does anyone know a means to format just the partition recovery resides?
Oh wait..you said it won't power on...
Give HTC a ring; it may be your only recourse unless you can get your phone back on.
yup. Since i cannot even power it on, HTC is my only option.
Thanks all for all the guides.

Attempted my first root and ROM flash.
Followed HTC Holiday Superguide instructions (I did skip the S-OFF bit) then tried to flash CyanogenMod 10 using these instructions. Got stuck on the CyanogenMod flash screen. Don't quite remember what I did in my panicked attempts to recover. I did relock the bootloader at some point.
Now the phone continually boots to HBoot.
Can't find the RUU I need anywhere (Telstra 3.44.841.3).
Should I return to Apple in shame having found myself not man enough for rooted Androids? Or can someone help me regain some self-respect?

Okay so you no longer have a custom recovery installed ? Is your HBOOT still locked ? If it is still locked unlock it and Flash TWRP or WCX recovery and see if you can boot into recovery.

It is still locked, but can I flash TWRP or WCX without having access to the phone's internal SD card through Windows? I don't know how to get them on there without that (when I connect the phone to my PC, I don't get the option anymore).

No SDCARD ?
Either way you can have the recovery saved to some place on your PC and flash it to the phone. In HBOOT you should select fastboot USB and this will allow you to send fastboot commands to the phone. EX fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to flash a recovery.

Your set.. you should be able to flash your rom of choice and fastboot flash boot boot.im (I'm assuming your not S-OFF) and then the phone will boot up like it should. The boot.img file will be located in the ROM zip but you may have to push modules around to get wifi to work depending on the ROM.

Well, I haven't managed to get anywhere. I've tried flashing a couple of different ROMs, but I couldn't get them to boot. When I boot into recovery, I get a bunch of "Can't mount" notifications. Is that bad?

Yup. From reading around it seems like there's a script in /system that flashes the stock recovery upon booting up. I tried to get the PwnMyMoto apk onto my device to get root and remove the recovery script file but now I'm getting an unexpected exception when trying to install the apk through adb. I have both USB debugging and Unknown Sources allowed. Any ideas?
Edit:
By the way I am T-Mobile, post OTA. If that changes anything.

This might be a long way to do it but can't you downgrade back to 4.2.2 then get root with that then follow the instructions found in the general section for maintaining root through taking the ota? This should fix your problem. Also the instructions there might give you a different idea of how to work around this issue. You might just be able to flash the boot image and install the hidden su yourself.

I'm already on 4.2.2. I'm guessing you mean to undo the recent OTA? How would I do that without a custom recovery or root?

One more clarification: After you flash recovery, you are using the volume down key to highlight recovery and then you are using the up arrow to select it correct? You do not press the power button to make the selection as on nexus devices.

PS you had recovery the first time you hit the up volume and it sent you to a screen that said "no command" from that screen if you press the up volume and power button together it sends you to the recovery screen. It may be down volume and power together to get passed that "no command" screen but its one of the two. I saw people having that same problem in the forum about maintaining root through the OTA.

Will charge up a bit over 50% and see. I still get permission denied. Plus when I try to get into recovery, I can't. The Motorola log shows up for a while, then restarts and boots normally into Android.
I flashed the Android Wear 2.0 OTA update and now the watch won't boot. I get the "Device Software Can't Be Checked For Corruption" error and it's telling me to go to g.com/ABH.
It won't go into recovery mode, but will go into fastboot mode. I grabbed the stock images from here, and flashed the stock boot, system, and recovery imgs, but the error persists.

I thought I had initially. I hadn't turned the watch on for a while, but decided to get it set up yesterday when I saw news of the 2.0 update hit. It originally had the first firmware on it and wouldn't update to 2.0 (adb would fail to find the watch).
So, I flashed MWF76 from the link in my earlier post. And that worked properly -- the watch booted normally, set up the apps, the right build number was showing, etc.
When that was done I tried to flash the 2.0 update again. And this time the watch was being recognized properly with adb. The flash procedure seemed to go without a hitch, but I got the g.co/ABH error on first boot.
And if you let the watch sit for 10 seconds, it only boots into Fastboot mode. You can't enter recovery. If you try to enter recovery with the vol-down+power button combo, you see recovery for a split second and then it goes right to fastboot.
At the moment it appears the bootloader is locked again.
Still experimenting. Hoping someone with more knowledge may be able to help.
Fastboot oem unlock reports that the bootloader is already unlocked.
Tried flashing all of the IMGs in MFW76 and these flash successfully:
boot
system
recovery
modem
asusfw
But when trying to flash these, the flash fails because it says the bootloader is locked. Trying fastboot oem unlock again reports the bootloader is unlocked, but still can not flash these...
devinfo
factory
misc
modemst1
modemst2
oem
splash
Tried fastboot flashing unlock_critical, and the watch shows part of a message, but I can't see if there's anything to do on...pressing the top or bottom buttons changes the color of the bg.

Your right, this file is not fastboot compatible. (my error)
This is what I used and flashed when I upgraded to v2.0 Android Wear.
To flash this you need to use ADB SIDELOAD filename.zip.
OR if you can boot into twrp you can install it from there too.
Good luck, have a great day!

I'd try to get the watch running 1.5 first via fastboot.
See my post in the other thread linked here, specifically my edits.
I did boot, recovery, then system, and did "fastboot format userdata" instead of "fastboot erase userdata"
I have the same issue. Zenwatch 3 just boots to Fastboot Mode after manual update to Android Wear 2.0 . I can`t enter recovery mode and try to reflash it.
Do you have any ideas, what should I do?

You need to flash stock kernel in fastboot before you can do anything else.
( FASTBOOT FLASH BOOT BOOT.IMG )
Here is the the link to the stock Android Wear 1.5 boot.img
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dudeyq9rjsrag2i/boot.img?dl=0
(The boot.img is the kernel)
If worse comes to worse, you need to flash full android wear stock 1.5 firmware to get your watch working.
Here are the full instructions how to go back to go back to stock android wear v1.5 firmware.
This link also contains the download link for the full android wear original stock v1.5 firmware:

First simply try to flash the boot.img in fastboot and reboot the watch before flashing the stock 1.5 firmware.

You need to flash stock kernel in fastboot before you can do anything else.
( FASTBOOT FLASH BOOT BOOT.IMG )
Here is the the link to the stock Android Wear 1.5 boot.img
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dudeyq9rjsrag2i/boot.img?dl=0
(The boot.img is the kernel)
If worse comes to worse, you need to flash full android wear stock 1.5 firmware to get your watch working.
Here are the full instructions how to go back to go back to stock android wear v1.5 firmware.
This link also contains the download link for the full android wear original stock v1.5 firmware:

Thank you for your reply, but it doesn`t help!
I have got the same issue as the topicstarter had. Flashing to the STOCK firmware doesn`t do anything. It stills shows Getting g.co/ABH Error on Boot and after 10 seconds it goes to Fastboot mode.

Your bootkoader is unlocked...
After using fastboot before reboot you need to lock the bootloadet by using.the command below.
FASTBOOT OEM LOCK
Then you can boot successfully ..
The error message you saw is normal if you have not locked your bootloader.
Good luck.. Have a great day.

Sorry but this doesn`t help.
My watches are booting only in Fastboot mode.
So i do next steps:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot format userdata
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot
After reboot, watches still boots straight in Fastboot mode.
Maybe I should flash something from AW 2.0 to repair the watch ?

You must have flashed the wrong boot.img (which is the kernel)
Make 100% sure that you are flashing the correct kernel and
don't issue the command "fastboot format userdata".
All you need is:
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
then oem lock bootloader
What was the exact filename of the ziip file
which had the 3 IMG files in it?
Here is the link for the zip file which contains the correct IMG files in it:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/tz9bg5fggpfn2q6/swift_partition_dump_part1_MWG68.zip?dl=1
unlock bootloader, flash the three img files, lock bootloader
and issue this fastboot command: " fastboot reboot "
Don't flash anything else and don't format anything...
Good luck, have a great day!
Misterjunky, thank you for your replies!

nope, this community do not help at all, my phone is dead even if a solution exist but nobody will tell me. I made 2 threads about it and they all go off topic and don't respond when I tell them. It's a very bad community

Wait for moment when battery is at 0% and phone will shut down. Boot into fastboot and flash TWRP recovery, create backup, wipe all on device and reboot it.

I tried that. My phone has been in this state for probably a month already. I heard the only solution is DC Phoenix via testpoint method.
Try Firmware finder for huawei + erecovery method , which is :
- download firmware finder on *another android phone* and search for exact phone model (ex : PRA-LA1C185)
- choose the very first firmware down the list
- Get an update thorugh dns >> Manually >> Register update
- After that , reboot your bricked phone into erecovery by ( power + volume*+*)
- press download recovery and last firmware
- wait till getting package
- by now should firmware start downloading
- let phone complete it's work and reboot
Hope that's work for you ?

About your problem - If your phone throws errors when you try to boot into TWRP, then something is wrong with TWRP (for example you flashed incompatibile version). Boot into bootloader aka fastboot mode and try to flash TWRP again from there.
Off-topic part: In my opinion, this is the most helpful & best community about Android phones. Noone is going to help you if you keep spamming. Just be patient, we are humans, not robots

Bootloader can't be locked if you managed to flash TWRP. Do the following:
1. Make sure the phone is turned off
2. Hold Vol- and plug the usb cable in
3. You should be in bootloader aka fastboot mode
4. Flash TWRP using (p8 lite 2015) fastboot flash recovery <path>.img
5. fastboot reboot

Use fastboot flash recovery only on 2015 variant. You need to use recovery ramdisk on 2017 variant
