[Q] Nexus One Bricked in FastBoot screen

Hi,
I have my Nexus One stuck in FastBoot screen. Today, my phone worked normally, but trackball don't worked, so I had to reboot phone. But when I rebooted, the phone started in FastBoot screen, and buttons don't work (volume up / down, power, trackball). There are 4 options (bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, power down) but I can't choose any because buttons don't work. Before reboot, when phone worked normally except Trackball, the volume and power buttons worked normally, so I don't think that all buttons are crashed.
My phone has HBOOT-0.35.0017, radio version 5.12.00.08. Also has installed a MIUI Spain ROM. I try to reinstall rom but I cannot, because buttons don't work in FastBoot Screen.
Do you have any idea to solve this issue?
Thank you very much

If it starts automatically in fastboot mode, it is most likely that your trackball switch is stuck down, because your phone should start in a generic bootloader and then give you the option to enter fastboot.
Did you spill anything on the phone or accidentally submerse it in anything?

Yes, it seems that trackball is stuck... I will try open the phone and clean trackball from inside...

How do i take out the trackball?

To take the trackball out you'll need to take the nexus one apart for that you can go check out the ifixit tutorial.

Hey guys, did u find a solution for this? I'm having the same problem here!!!! The track ball was my first guess too, but I feel the trackball Ok.

If it boots directly into the fastboot screen, the trackball is the only button you can press to get directly there on boot. I don't see it being any other problem.

[Q] Freeze and boot stocked

Hey, this is my first post, and i come with a big issue with my HTC One. It's work like a charm, until this evening.
I already flashed two ROM, ARHD 8, 8.1 and 9, without problem, but when i tried to flash 9.1, AROMA freeze. So, no whories, i juste reboot my phone with "adb reboot-bootloader" and did a "fastboot erase cache" and try again. AROMA freeze antoher time (without touching the screen), bad luck i can"t reboot with holding power button. So, again, "adb reboot" (without bootloader this time, it sliped my ming...) and there, it's stock at :
And holding power button don't work (i tried to hold him for 10 minutes...). I tried with adb or fastboot... device not found (logical).
I don't know what to do next, any idea ?
PS : sorry for my bad english, i hope you understand me ^_^
PPS : can't add a link to my photo of the bootscreen, but it's stucked.

wait for the battery to die then plug it in and let it charge for a while then try again once device has cooled down

you should be fine if the device powers on.
try this download all in one toolkit and erase cache then install custom recovery and boot to recovery and try to flash the rom again in the newly installed recovery

when you boot into bootloader you have to press the power button once. you will then see fastboot usb at the top of bootloader menu then run the commands. it should see your device after that

The thing is, i can't go in the bootloader
(if i try to hold on power + vol down, i have capacitive button who are blinking (normal) but i can hold them about 10 minutes, but nothing happen)

then you have to wait for it to die again then charge. after it charges for a while unplug it turn it on and boot to fastboot and do what i said before.
if your using a touch recovery and flashing a rom that uses aroma only use the hardware buttons(dont touch the screen at all). let it sit on the aroma start screen for at least 5secs. and charge your device enough so you can unplug before you start aroma

have tried adb reboot fastboot

Yes, but nothing happen :/

just keep trying to hold power+volume down for 30 seconds if it doesnt reboot to bootloader let go and try again

Yes, i access to the bootloader. I erase the cache, and wait a bit for resend a recovery (he don't want to write it now, because of low battery)

good. you shouldnt have a problem from here as long as you flashing a zip file thats proven to work for your device

It's possible to send a file from fastboot mode ?

Nevermind, found how to do (thank the manuel ^^)
Many thanks skinsfanbdh :good:

So. Problem fixed. Thanks to you skinsfanbdh

[Q] HTC One stuck in boot loop, can't use recovery/

Hello, I've recently just got this phone off someone to fix for them. It's in the constant bootloop. I can get into the bootloader, which is locked and has S-ON. However, if I try to navigate down it restarts as soon as it highlights recovery. If I navigate up, it will open up the show barcode, and exit out of it and sometimes highlight the image crc and attempt to display it. It restarts however very soon after. This phone has not been rooted or has been flashed at all.
Stuck of ideas at the minute on what to do to fix this guys phone, I don't believe he has warrenty on it either .
Any help would much be appreciated! Want to try and get this fixed.

That's the first option i'm able to get to at the top, I press the power button to select it however it just resets the phone. I presume this isn't suppose to happen and the fastboot hasn't work?
Wait, sorry. If I press Vol Up, then Vol down again, it auto selects it. However, I can't select the options in the new menu.
Sorry again, it also doesn't seem to have a fastbootUSB mode? Unless it does that when it restarts?

when you select fastboot, plug it into the computer, it should now say fastboot USB on the screen, if you cant get fastboot, you cant fix it, its knackered.

Bugger. I'll mess with it a bit more in hopes of reviving it. Cheers for the help though

If "fastboot" turns to "fastbootUSB" you will probably be OK. Try entering RUU mode from fastboot with the command "fastboot oem rebootRUU" If you get this far you will just need to apply a full RUU image, which will reinstall everything, including the boot loader itself.

I can't seem to get to that, the phone restarts itself pretty much around 5-7 seconds being in the bootloader itself.
The only other reason i can imagine this happening is maybe because the battery is knackered.

Good point, the power button does seem a bit further in this one, than I have seen in other M7s. This may sound silly, but it clicks when I push it down, but have no idea how to properly bring it up.

unfortunately, i have no idea how to fix the button, but if your phone is behaving as if it's being continually pressed that would explain the reboots.
to verify, just enter bootloader, don't do anything (but be in a well lit environment), if it reboots again and again, then the power button is stuck.

Yep, I'll see about trying to fix the power button then. Here's hoping!

Also, sorry. I should've added in the op that it only turns on when it's plugged into something. If i unplugged it while it's on the htc screen or bootloader, it will stay on till it does the usual reset then stay off.

If the power button is clicking I doubt it is stuck.

When the Device restarts while you're on the HTC Boot Screen, do the LED Buttons down at the bottom flash up a couple of times prior to the reset? If so, that would be conclusive with the stuck Power Button as that is (afaik) the normal behavior for a reset by pressing and holding Power.

This is correct. A hard power down will flash the home and back keys before turning off.

I've seemed to have someone fixed the phone now, it's getting into Android (after much stress trying to get it into it!). It does seem like it's the power button that is sticky, as it's locking the screen and constantly waking it up and bringing the power button menu up. Needless to say, i'm overjoyed that it's working. Now I need to find out how to fix the power button in it.

That might actually not be quite the easiest task. If anything else fails, why not try bringing it as close to stock und untempered as you can go and hand it in for a warranty repair. With a little bit of luck they will not check the software as it is obviously a hardware button defect.

It's hard bricked. NEVER try to flash a recovery from your phone.
I had to learn that to, I hardbricked my beloved Xperia T that way...

Thank You, i did what you said, but there was no vibrations
Last night when i plug my phone to the charger, there is no red LED light (the phone's battery level is about 80%)
today after i hold the power buttons+ volume up + volume down, the red LED light flashed for a few times
i think it's telling me the battery is fully consumed(?)
so i plugged my phone to the charger again
and there's red light!!!
what can i tell from this?

I'm pretty sure this won't work as the boot partition got damaged during his try of flashing a recovery directly from the phone.

You need to hold the Power button for an extended time even after the buttons flash.
What TWRP version did you flash?
What version of the OS do you have?

holding power and volume down will reboot to the bootloader.
