To navigate the bootloader, you have to use the volume keys to move up and down and the power button to select.
Do you have custom recovery installed ? If yes, select "Recovery" from the menu and reflash your ROM.
If you cannot access your custom recovery, try "fastboot erase cache". If that still doesn't work, try "fastboot erase recovery" and re-flash your custom recovery. Make sure to wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache BEFORE flashing your ROM.

Hey thanks for the reply man but i dont have rom and backup can i flash GE rom via fastboot?

Here's a little guide I wrote for another thread :
Start your phone in bootloader by typing
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Select "Fastboot" so that it appears in red instead of HBOOT
On your computer, make sure fastboot sees your device, then type
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Type
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Download the new firmware.zip
Type
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Once it's rebooted on a silver HTC logo, type :
Code:
fastboot flash zip [pathonyourcomputer/firmware.zip]
Wait until it is done on your computer. The green line on the phone will never reach the end.
Type
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Reflash your recovery (I recommend CWM). Might as well play it safe.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [pathonyourcomputer/recovery.img]
Reboot into recovery (select the option in fastboot)
Wipe data/factory reset (you will loose everythng)
*** If there are files you need to keep, you can always use adb pull to get them out before hand (let's say a nandroid backup or something important)
Wipe Cache partition
Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache
Now you have 2 options :
Push
While in recovery, type
Code:
adb push [path/rom.zip] /sdcard/rom.zip
Select "Install zip"
Select "Choose zip from sdcard"
Voila ! You should be good to go !
Pull
Select "Install zip"
Select "Install zip from sideload"
Type
Code:
adb sideload [path/rom.zip]
Voila ! You should be good to go !
ROM-wise, I really recommend you get Android Revolution HD. It stays true to HTC Sense while really improving it. You could however flash any ROM; if you really want GE I'd recommend this one; it's modded by the same guy who does Android HD and it's very 'tasteful'
Hit me up if there's anything else !

tried to install JB, used Blackrose = can't get into recovery

Hello Folks,
I'm still stuck with my nexus one since I don't care that much about phones.
I've seen that jelly bean roms have made a significant progress. Thus I decided to give it a shot.
I started with installing adb and fastboot. :good: After that I rooted the nexus one :good: I've used this how to:
c2med blog, can't post links...
Next, I ran blackrose. :good: I saved the rom on the micro sd. Having done all the preperations I wanted to flash the JB rom.
I started the phone in bootloader mode but - unfortunately - couldn't access the recovery mode (ext4). I only get the Android figure and an exclamation mark.
In the how-to it sais i should use fastboot to flash the recovery made by ext 4.
Problem # 1: Ext4 generated a .zip, not a .img file
Problem # 2: I connect the device in fastboot mode, navigate to the adb/fastboot folder and use ./fastboot devices. The phone is recognized and I see the serial number. Next I try "flash recovery...." but I only get "command not found". Now, I basically have no idea what to do.
Which recovery should I flash? And how?
I'm so looking forward to your answers.

What you get is the stock recovery.
Flash 4Ext recovery or Amon RA recovery ( fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img)
Among the several guides to install JB, I suggest you to look at the following post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804571
I just finished this morning the following process:
install RA recovery,
install Blackrose and resize partition,
install from SD card Evervolv-Perdo-3.2.0-Nightly-2013.01.13-passion.zip
install from SD card gapps-ev-jb-20120816.zip
I spent a lot of times reading and trying. I had an issue after installing Evervolv-perdo-3.1.0final-passion zip. That's why I switched to the Nightly (JB 4.2).
Once you are set install a2sd from within the terminal emulator on your N1.
In my opinion this is so far the best ROM I ever have had on my Nexus 1.:good:
I am impressed to the extend that I offer to my wife to do the same on her N1. She said no. No to unlock, no to root and of course no to custom ROM.
Good luck
Hi,
thanks for your reply. Thats basically what i did as well. But after using Blackrose i can't go into the recovery mode.
I used the same tutorial. The problem lies here:
"Note: some people have reported having problems getting into recovery at this point (if not move on to step 5). If that happens, luckily for you, 4ext put a recovery image in the downloads folder of your SD card and if you did what I said in step 2 you saved it. Try reflashing that recovery image using fastboot (remember the one that was in SD/Download/4EXT_Recovery_Touch/ and was named "recovery.img"). Put your phone into the bootloader by turning off your phone, turning it on again while holding the trackball down. To reflash the recovery open command prompt and cd to the location of the Android SDK tools. Then type in the following command (replacing "path" with the path to where the recovery image is located on your computer):
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/recovery.img
If that does not solve your problems (inability to get into recovery) then I would recommend going back to the cyanogenmod wiki and installing Amon_Ra's recovery. Then you can use it to flash your installation zip."
It seems like I am unable to understand what I am supposed to do. Could somebody give me a step by step advice? I would prefer using some other recovery.img than mine...

It happened to me. I just re-flashed Amon RA recovery from the fastboot mode. Maybe somewhere you missed a step?

In other words open your folder android-sdk-windows installed on the root of your C: hd. Click on the folder platform-tools and download Amon RA recovery in this folder. Left click anywhere on a blank area of this folder then press the key Shift (keyboard) and right click your mouse. In the drop down menu select Open command window. In the CMD, to be sure that the N1 is recognized by the pc (meaning the right drivers are installed) type ADB devices and press enter. You should see a string of numbers like HT9C......
Type adb reboot bootloader and press enter. You are in the fastboot mode ( and mood if I may say so) and the phone shows that it is in the bootloader. You can check again that N1 is recognized by the pc by typing fastboot devices. Same string appears.
Type fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img.
After the installation is completed boot in recovery, select Flash zip from sdcard, select the ROM you have dropped on the card. When the installation is completed go back to Flash zip from sdcard ( you are still in recovery mode) and select the gapps you have dropped on the sdcard.
Go back to Reboot system now. You are then out of the recovery and it takes some times for the N1 to boot to this beautiful JB

As c2med posted in his guide, sometimes, people lose their recovery when they repartition using Black Rose. Hence, its always best to have Amon-RA or 4EXT flashable .img file in your PC so that incase you lose recovery, you can always flash it back.
Once you are in bootloader ( also called FASTBOOT mode) you can flash your recovery.
Then reboot into recovery from FASTBOOT (Shutdown and then restart using the recovery combination)
Once you are in recovery, follow the steps in c2med's guide (wipe cache/dalvik/etc - except sd-card ofcourse) and flash your ROM from sd card.
Then reboot into JayBee
In the screenshot you type:
$ ./fastboot devices
then you type:
$ flash recovery ......../recovery.img
Command not found.... Sure, flash it's not a command...
You need to type fastboot command first!
$ ./fastboot flash recovery ......../recovery.img

Thank You! That's what I figuered out last night. Of course I also tried "fastboot flash" but forgot the "./". That was the key. Now the JB ROM works like a charm.
New Problem:
I can't install google apps. In fact I don't really need them. I only use a few apps and found the .apk files with google. Unfortunately the "official" Google apps like chrome don't work.
Plus, I wanted to install the camera (laggy in the evervolv - rom) and keyboard from here.

When you're in recovery, select "Flash zip from SD card" and then select "Toggle signature verification" to disable signature verification, and then "Choose zip from SD card" and navigate to the zip file that you want to flash.

Phone in infinite recovery loop.

Basically, i unlocked my bootloader, all fine. I managed to root my device and it was all fine, until i went to install a custom rom via Clockworkmod. It said it was installed, and would reboot my device. So it did, but it kept restarting trying to get into recovery mode. I can get into the bootloader. However, whenever i attempt to get into recovery mode, my phone will restart normally, reach the htc logo and then turn off and attempt recovery again, to no avail. Fastboot in the cmd does also not recognize my device, which means i'm stuck in a harsh predicament. Is there any solutions? I appreciate all help.
Also, i have tried the factory reset on the bootloader, and this just reboots and attempts to load recovery.
If you can't access recovery, boot into HBOOT (adb reboot bootloader), select FASTBOOT (the only three other options you should see are REBOOT, REBOOT BOOTLOADER and POWER DOWN).
On your computer, type "fastboot erase cache". Then try reflashing the recovery.
If that doesn't work try "fastboot erase recovery". Then try reflashing the recovery.
If you still can't access recovery, reflash your firmware, then retry.
Once you have recovery figured out, follow these steps :
1. Select "Wipe data/factory reset"
2. Select "Wipe cache partition"
4. Advanced -> Select "Wipe dalvik cache"
5. Plug into computer and make sure adb detects it
6. Select "Install zip" ->"Install zip from sideload"
7. Use the command "adb sideload xxxxx.zip"
or
6. Use the command "adb push firmware.zip /sdcard/firmware.zip"
7. Select "Install zip" -> "Install zip from sdcard"

Thankyou, i tried your steps but they just didnt work. The problem i have with trying to reflash is that fastboot doesnt actually recognise my device, so i cannot type any commands.

Major Screwup

Okay, so I was using the Carbon Rom (nightly 4.3) on my HTC One (m7att) and I wanted to try AOKP because I was having issues with it being a daily driver. I went to AOKP's website and I tried to find the version of Android in their latest Nightly for my phone. I couldn't find it, but I found a Youtube video implying it was 4.2.2. I then went and downloaded both the Nightly and the 4.2.2 gapps and flashed them.
From there, my phone became unusable and I wasn't able to access my SDcard via USB. I've had the issue of flashing the wrong gapps in the past and then I just re-flashed the correct one, but this time I'm completely unable to access my SDcard on my computer to put the 4.3 gapps onto it and to re-flash the correct zips.
I can't mount the USB in the TWRP options and when I plug in the USB into my device when it's turned on, my device doesn't come up. What the hell can I do? How screwed am I?
Please help.
We need to know what files you flashed, and can you get into bootloader and get the phone information from this command:

Check to see if your DATA partition is corrupted using this guide. If it is, follow mike1986's instructions and you should be good to go. If not follow my guide :

Please Help Tried Updating to 4.4 Kitkat Bricked

Ok so I tried updating my phone that was already rooted on Android 4.3 S-OFF to 4.4 kitkat with sinless rom sense. Transferred the rom zip to my phone, then proceeded to wipe the system and data, as well as davalik cache with clockworkmod recovery. Attempted to flash the rom and it aborted. Tried a few times and nothing worked. Didn't realize till after that my phone had no OS, and now all I can do is enter the bootloader. Can't enter recovery as the phone will enter clockworkmod then abort and reboot the phone. Not sure what to do at this point as I tried one of the guides and couldn't figure it out. If anyone can help me I'd greatly appreciate it. At least I backed everything up on my computer manually and am using my iPhone 4 until I can get this fixed. Thanks in advance.

How do I reflash recovery when I can't access the filesystem? Do I need to setup ADB and connect to my phone via command line to initiate the transfer? Can you link me to a thread that explains how to setup ADB in a case like this? Thanks
You need to reflash cwm. I'll try find a link. But after recovery is working you would have to use ad b to sideload the Rom. Have you tried from bootloader fastboot erase cache?

My biggest issue is being able to reflash clockworkmod. If I could that out of the way, I already have the rom on the phone storage, so I should in theory be able to reflash I'd think.
I don't have the option to delete cache within the bootloader under fastboot

How did you get your One rooted, then?
You need to install ADB/Fastboot on your computer. Best to create a folder directly on C:
In that folder you also copy the .img of the recovery (you need latest TWRP for 4.4 ROMs)
Now, once ADB/Fastboot Folder is set up, the TWRP download is copied into the same folder, you go to your bootloader and connect the One via USB and select FASTBOOT (red letters) and once connected you see (USB)
You open a CMD window (START and type cmd) , in that window you point to the fastboot folder:
cd c:\fastboot (or whatever name you choose as in link above)
fastboot erase cache (enter)
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.4-m7ul.img (enter)
fastboot erase cache (enter)
you see the commands running in the cmd window
after that you can choose inside the recovery the ADVANCED option and SIDELOAD ADB
I have not done that, so you need to search the forum on how to do that.

Screenshot to see the Fastboot folder on my laptop with the TWRP file in it
Just saw that you still have the .zip of your ROM on your internal storage. So just choose to install that and that's it! Be careful with the wiping option and only choose factory reset or cache/dalvik and never system!

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
let me know when that's done

oh no, well here goes, your going to need it, especially as your in a bootloop.
so download and install this, everything including the drivers, the file must be run as administrator: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
then download this img file and put it in the same folder as fastboot and adb that you just installed: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
open a command windows (CMD window) in that same folder, to do this, hold down control & shift & right mouse click on any white area in that folder and select open command window here.

that was quick, enter recovery, and select wipe, swipe to factory reset then I always go into advanced wipe too and select everything except internal storage.
once done, go back to the main screen of recovery, main screen only, no sub menu's.
download the rom again and put in the same folder as adb and fastboot again.
then with your phone plugged in, rom in the folder, and a command window open type:
Code:
adb push (name-of-rom).zip /sdcard/
takes a while and will look unresponsive but the cmd window will let you know when its done.
once done, unplug your phone, and slect install, select the rom from the list and swipe to begin the install.

So in the command window, I put the full name of the rom download file?

yeah, easiest way is once you've downloaded the rom, just change the file name to rom.zip then move it to the adb and fastboot folder, then adb push rom.zip /sdcard/

And also, since I already wiped, do I have to do it again in Aroma Installer, or can I continue without wipe?

its only a wipe of data, so I would just go ahead and wipe just to be sure.

that happens sometimes, just hold the power button down till the lights on the bottom flash 10 - 15 times, the phone will reset and pick up where it left off and start booting.

your welcome, and learned adb and fastboot along the way too, better than using compiled apps to flash things.
same problem, but different result...

Hi Seanie,
I followed the instructions on this post, as I was having a similar problem. I installed the Apolo7 v4.1 rom on my phone using CWM instead of TWRP and entered a boot loop. After following your instructions for installing ADB and flashing TWRP, when I try to enter recovery to perform a wipe it won't and goes back into a boot loop wherein it is perpetually trying to enter recovery. Any suggestions?
thanks!

Seanie, I found your advice very useful. Thanks for taking the time to walk us noobs through. In my case it didn't work at first but after I found the right version of TWRP for my HTC One it worked fine. Thanks!
