[Q] Help: cm6 stuck at "X" after universal root with locked bootloader

So I just got back my nexus one from htc, got my mother board changed and preloaded with 2.2. I rooted it with universal root without unlocking my bootloader.
Problem: when I reboot after successfully loading CM6 and have it running, it reboots to the "X" and hangs.
Am I doing something wrong?

For how long is it hanging? I recall having to wait what seemed like forever the first time I booted with CM6... but eventually it 'took'.

You have a locked bootloader as well right? I waited a good 30 mins. Maybe i should leave i and give it more time to boot?
All works normally on inital boot of CM6 after install with locked bootloader, just that when i try to reboot the first time manually... it stays at the "X" for an awefully long time.

Did you wipe?

Try wiping data,cache,dalvik-cache.

ya, this is what i did.
1) Universal root with locked biootloader on stock 2.2
2) installed rom manger
3) flashed recovery + downloaded and flashed CM6 + google apps
Boots up fine, runs CM6 flawless. Upon manual reboot, it hangs on the X
Then i tried:
1) reboot into recovery
2) full wipe + davlick cache
3) reinstall CM6 + google apps
Still hangs. I haven't had time to play with it, but ill try to leave it along upon reboot a lil longer to see if it pulls thu~

Please let me know whether after installing the 6.0 cyn. rom and after the initial install you can then reboot and it pulls up and runs as usual. I am getting ready to flash the cyn 6.0 rom I am on stock 2.2 and have never flashed a rom before I have backed up the current rom through Rom Manager and flashed Clockworkmod recovery and I have the unloocked bootloader root as well. I have a question if and when I flash the new rom through Rom Manager does it not wipe and clear data etc. automatically? If not how would i go about doing that. Any and all help is greatly Appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MY bootloader is LOCKED, i rooted differently. Since you have a UNLOCKED bootloader, you will have no problems booting.
I still never got a chance to play with the N1 yet, ill keep u guys updated

When you go to flash a new ROM in Manager, it will offer you the option to wipe and/or backup before it applies the ROM.

Thank you so much for the kind replies!! I meant to say that I had a locked bootloader root using the one click root and unroot. I guess this means I would face the same situation as described earlier in this thread. I am very grateful to all the posters for sharing. THANK YOU!!!

Do you mean it hangs on the nexus one X boot animation? Because CM6 has it's own boot animation you shouldn't see that at all.

I would test it with a different Rom to see if you get the same result. If it's only CM6 doing that, maybe try the nightly version.

Keep loosing Recovery and installs fail

I just got a Nexus One. I have OEM unlocked, rooted and kinda put CWM recovery on it. I tried TWRP but it never went past the splash screen. CWM works sometimes and sometimes it goes back to stock recovery. Also, Every ROM I try to install, fails. Anyone have threads to point me too?

Which ROMs are you trying to install? ICS , Sense and JB ROMs need updated HBOOTS.

[Q] Nothing present after custom ROM install

I have spent a day and a half trying to fix all of my issues before I finally turned here but I am at my wits end.
This all started with my attempt to flash Viper to my HTC one. I installed clockwork touch loaded Viper to the drive and went to install. During the install process something happened and my install failed. When I rebooted the phone it returned to the fasboot screen and there was no recovery present. I had heard that sometimes TWRP works better for installing some ROMs so I decided to switch courses and try that. Before installing I went and formatted cache, data, ect. When I tried to install Viper this time it appeared to be a successful install. However, I was once again I was returned to the fastboot screen and no recovery was present. I tried this a few more times with either clockwork or TWRP using sideload with no luck. I also trried using fastboot to flash a sprint stock recovery boot and image. When the phone rebooted it showed the white HTC Screen but nothing happened for a half hour so I restarted the phone again only to be dropped into the fastboot. I also tried locking and unlocking the boot loader and tried a Sprint HTC one RUU with no success.
So at this moment this is where I stand:
I am on the fastboot screen with no recovery.
HBOOT 1.56.0000
S-ON
Any help you can provide would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks for your time.

... now that its up and running, i recommend you get s-off 1st. it eases many things. then flash twrp 2.7.0.4 recovery and try to flash viper :victory: ...

I was in this situation myself. If you can adb twrp recovery onto your phone. Dont try to flash viper with cwm it will mess stuff up. After you have a recovery loaded flash the viper rom. If it boots up be sure to check about phone section in the settings and see if there is a baseband version present. If not just flash the latest firmware and you should be good to go. This was what i had to do.

Same here, about a month ago. They really need to just remove that option to flash CWM. I managed to get a recovery installed, but now it seems like half the ROMs I try to flash won't boot. I don't even know what Rom I am using, because it has disappeared from XDA. It's a 4.4.2 Sense 5.5 ROM, and it is odexed and came with Xposed Installer. It's the only ROM that seems to work anymore, so I have to wonder if my firmware got messed up. I'm S-On, with no way to S-off for the foreseeable future until I can fix my laptop. Since my laptop is unavailable, I'm a bit hesitant to mess with the phone much more, since I can't fix it again without the computer.

I've read a number of these threads, and many have Viper in common. Viper by itself is an amazing ROM. Maybe too amazing... Incredible amount of customization. I have to remind myself occasionally that as much as I flash ROMs and lurk around here that I am not a dev.
I would do my best to achieve S-OFF if you have any plans for custom ROMs. It's always useful. I would also suggest trying one of the Sense 6 ROMs. They are all amazing.

S-OFF is necessary for some ROMs to work, although I'm not sure about Viper. Use firewater.

I am very sorry I know this is a slow response. So I tried to first root my phone so I could use firewater but I ran into issues. First, I tried to place supersu on the internal hard drive via windows but when I rebooted into recovery I was not able to find any of the folders I had access to. So i tried using side load but got errors that I could not mount cache and could not mount system. Do you have any suggestions on how to proceed?

[Q] need help hope i didnt kill my m7 :(

Last night I was flashing to a new rom.
The phone has had beanstalk 4.4+ on it for quite some time and have never had any issues really.
I was going to give viper 6.1 a shot so I downloaded the zip and put it on my sd card
I rebooted the phone into recovery as I do every time I load a rom and selected wipe to install nee rom option in twrp.
I chose the zip and aroma fired up and installed the new rom and gave me a successful install message and asked to reboot the phone which I did.
Now when I boot the phone it goes straight to the bootloader/fastboot screen and will not perform any functions other than reboot, which it does and goes straight to the bootloader.
pleaseeee help I hope I didn't kill it somehow. It seemed everything was going fine...
Thanks in advance

... TWRP is the best recovery to flash Viper. If you didnt use that, flash the right TWRP for your variant in fastboot (Sprint in your case and no other), boot into recovery, wipe everything in recovery, run Viper installer, choose wipe all (except SD) and then see if it wakes from the sleep :laugh: ...

there is no need to put a rom as long as you are satisfied with stock rom.... how did you run the ruu .exe file or by fastboot mode???

Got it! Something must have failed. I ran the .exe ruu again and we are up and running! Thanks everyone

[Q] ROM flash gone wrong. HTC one M7

Hi,
Looking for some help from you guys if possible. I have have been flashing Android HD Roms by Mike1986 for some time now on my HTC One (M7). Last updated to HD-One_91.1 to upgrade to Lollipop. Experienced very poor battery performance so looked to flash back to an earlier Kitkat version. Instead of flashing a previous one, I thought i'd give the Google 6.1_GE a go and see what that was like.
Big problems. Phone kept getting stuck in boot loop - so eventually i decided to wipe the phone and start again. Now when I switch phone on It boots into the start screen for Goggle edition then reboots constantly.
As I wiped the patition, I do not have the option to reinstall even the Lolipop ROM.
My phone wont stay on long enough to copy another ROm over. so Im stuck with a pjone that keeps switiching off before I can do anything with it.
I use TWRP recovery but when i try Factory reset etc, same problem occurs.
How can I get another compatible ROM onto the phone or am I stuck with a knackered phone?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation.

Your phone must be s-off to use this rom like said in the OP. Also said that your phone WILL bootloop if you flash it without having s-off.
Android Revolution HD 6.1
Google Edition
You need S-OFF, otherwise you'll experience boot-loop!
You can't use ART with deodexed custom ROM
You need TRWP 2.6.3.3 custom recovery!

Boot in recovery (twrp), push a rom to your phone using adb push, adb sideload or MTP (MTP only available on newer twrp versions) and then flash the rom.
