So here's the deal.
it's a long story, but i happened in a short time.
I was unlocking my bootloader and stuff on my nexus one on my mac. using the boot loader.
I used the superboot to unlock it.
and so i succeed in that.
i didn't bother with the install-superboot-mac.sh thing.
i didn't know that by then.
so i went on to search about the cyanogenmod 7, and i can't get the radio refreshed. i read the article in the cm forum.
so, i saw this post somewhere,(...read hundreds of posts now)
that tells me to use the rom manager thing.
so i downloaded it, and i tells me that my phone is not rooted!
so i was wondering how this happened.
i searched online, and i found this post telling me to use that install.bat(which is for windows, mac is the one i mentioned above) thing after i unlock the bootloader.
i was a bit scared.
but i went on to the fast boot manu and i connect my computer,
i put the directory in, and then i threw the install-superboot-mac.sh thing in my phone, successful, so i rebooted my phone.
And after the first not-ANIMATED start up screen, which is the staying-X and the unlocked symbol at the bottom, the screen goes black.
i was not sure what happened. so i pullout the battery and booted it again.
same thing.
it was not until the third time i opened it and waited for it, i realized that it was my screen that's not working!
After the stable X, the system goes to the animated one, but my screen is blacked out, so i can't see.
The bottoms on the phone are still working , yet i can't see a thing!
I can still open the fastboot/bootloader screen, but after that, nothing!
the recovery don't work, it's just an android with the sign.
I'm very worried about this situation.
please reply to me!!
i really need help, since i know nothing about this.
I just thought that 2.3's cool and now i got this....
here's some info that might help,
i have the korean version of the phone, it was cheaper and stuff.
didn't notice a different except that there's no 3g?
i don't really know what's the deal with it.
but it seems to be special or something.
The phone is unlocked, but my computer fails to find it using the adb devices.
im not sure if my phone is usb debbuging.
probably yes.
Everytime i try to load the recovery, it tells me to wait for device.
I really need help!!
OK... so you might have messed up your firmware... no worries... get a custom recovery (like AmonRA recovery)... flash it using fastboot... pop in a custom ROM like CM... flash and reboot...
the thing is i can't load the recovery or the mods. so here's the problem
Do as Craig said.
Put phone into the bootloader screen. White screen with skateboarding androids.
Do your thing with fastboot.
Reboot directly into the freshly flashed recovery and install a ROM.

I've read the wiki, but is my phone compatible with the rom?
my phone's korean version..
im not sure if i can.
and i certainly can't afford another adversity.

It will work just fine, your phone isn't bricked and will be working fine in no time if you follow the advice in the posts above.
Edit: Am I the only one who wants the word 'Bricked' explicitly defined for the xda forums?
and also, since my screen is out, im not sure of weather my back up data thing is on or not, and usb debugging also
i've tried the ROMs, but the three i tried don't work.
downloading more, but i doubt if there's difference.
the device doesn't tell me to install the update, instead it just goes back to the bootloader screen

...
K, they don't really work, after checking the rom, my phone just goes back to the screen that showed up when i pressed power and volumn down
Why do people insist on receiving their instructions on a golden spoon?
Do you think you're the first one ever that got his phone corrupted? Maybe the second?
Go to Wiki, download FRG33, proceed with instructions for PASSIMG method. PUT ATTENTION THAT YOU'RE NAMING THE FILE RIGHT!
These instructions have been given in 800000000 threads by now. Look for the thread about moving from Vodafone OS version to stock Google OS. Search the forum with the words "restore stock".
What exactly are you doing?
You have a few pieces of advice that will work, but you're not really giving any details about what you are actually trying...?
Here's the link to follow Jack's advice:

just if you want to know,
i've downloaded the frg33
and i HAVE NAMED it CORRECTLY!
YET, IT doesn'T WORK
im not a retard!
after the 2 min period of searching, which is step 7, my phone goes back to the same screen
CID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Do you want to reboot device?
<VOL UP> Yes
<VOL DOWN> No
this shows up a couple of times also
Why ask for help if you're not going to do what people tell you?
With a unlocked bootloadet flash a custom recovery.
Reboot DIRECTLY into that.
Wipe and flash any rom you want.
If you don't know how to do any of the above search or read the wiki.

As albundy2010 suggested - if you have the bootloader unlocked (I didn't notice that part in the OP), just follow the guide for unlocked bootloader - fastboot flash all the partitions on the device manually. The guide is in the same place, but a different one - this time use "for unlocked bootloader".
tHANKS man!
I was such a f-in idiot...
now i can finally boot into the recovery..
I got it.. thanks guys
It's a tough flashing world out there, hey rec
I am glad you got it working
I have spent the last 4 hours searching this forum and countless others. I installed a custom gb rom over my froyo base, which resulted in rainbows. In a panic I went into rom manager and tried to recover my nand backup and now I am stuck in a boot loop with a rainbow'ed clockworkmod.
The version I have is ClockWorkMod Voodoo lagfix Recovery 2.5.1xx in red text.
I have tried every combination listed and I can not get odin to see my vibrant. All I can make out is that every now and then I can get into the recovery menu. From there I can get to the download mode, however I can't read the menus.
All I got is I have to go down 7 to get to the mount & storage option, but from there I don't know where "boot to download" is...
I have looked all over for screen shots to help me narrow it down. Can anyone please tell me how to get to the "boot to download" option in CwM?
I'm at a loss. Also I have not found anyone stupid enough to be in my position so I couldn't find anything useful to help me.
Please help!

Sounds like you had the wrong bootloaders installed for the ROM you were trying to use.
I'm using Recovery v2.5.1.3. From the intial boot into recovery it's 7 down to the "advanced" menu then 8 down to reboot to Download mode (or up 2).
Hope this helps.

Yes, but he can't install it without getting into download mode.
I have had this issue. I wound up looking up CwM on google and seeing what the buttons were and using the pistures as a guide to were things were. I suggest doing this (IF you cant manualy boot into download mode.) And flashing to stock. Give yourself a fresh start. Rooting and installing CwM takes all of like 5 minutes, and if you have your contacts and such saved to your sim or google account you wont lose those (so you have nothing to fear).
I have personaly messed up my vibrant many times in wierd ways (such as this) and have found that it can be fixed allways, even without the unbrickable mod this phone is nearly unbreakable.
LMAO!! Unbelievable that in the past 48 hours 3 people posted either bricked or semi-bricked posts in the wrong section. You would think people would take their time in doing a little research in the proper sections.
In any case, here's your answer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848737
And before you start criticizing my bashing response to your post. The link I just gave you is about 6-7 posts under yours. So again, if you actually took the time to do a little reading and research, you would've found this.

Wow, talk about hate. I tried everything, including that link that you just sent me, I can't tell if it is in Download mode or not jerk. I've done this before and I rarely post problems unless I'm really really stuck.
All I see is rainbows on my screen for the clockwork recovery. It's not like everybody else's problem. Maybe you should take a minute and read my full post before making me feel lower than I already am about making a stupid mistake.
@jackdog
thanks for the numbers but I tried them and I got nothing except a reboot back into recovery. I tried 7 down, enter. then 8 down to what is suppose to be reset in download mode but it just resets.... I'm positive that I have that clockworkmod version, damn it!

I've been trying for the last hour to get my computer to read my phone but the only time it sees something is when the vibrant is looping from the boot screen to another screen? ( it's rainbowed out) and then it repeats. I'm trying to download and install the drivers for the damn thing but I'm not having any luck.
Can any post post pictures of the clockworkmod recovery menus?

ODIN!!! Get into download mode and either flash the bootloaders mentioned above or flash a froyo rom. The easiest way into DL mode is to pull battery, hold volume up AND down, plug phone to PC, re-insert battery.
If you flash bootloaders you won't have this problem again and will be able to flash both GB and Froyo roms (eclair too if you want). Check out the custom bootloader thread fpr info.

I can't get into download mode because every screen I see is nothing but that rainbow garbage. I've tried every single button combo and odin isn't picking it up! Trust me I've tried all of that stuff. I need a frame of reference. I'm about to post a video so you guys understand what I see...
Unless you're HW locked (which I doubt if you're rooted) then manual-booting into DL mode should work. Do the following:
-Unplug phone. Remove battery, sd, sim.
-Set up ODIN on the PC, put the bootloader file in or the JFD, whichever you pick. If that's bootloader, please uncheck "Auto-reboot"
-Plug in phone with battery out
-Now while holding vol up and down firmly in and power, place the battery in the phone. Keep holding the three keys until ODIN recognizes your phone as a yellow COM port.
-ODIN. Let it finish. Reboot when it says success.
Goodluck, this should work- and I think DL mode is visible regardless of bootloaders. I may/may not be right on that.
---
You could also try adb. Just plug it in and type the command... 'reboot download' I think. Should get you in download mode.
Also to even humor you on the Download mode screen being rainbows, the odin would still recognise the phone. if taking out the battery dont work then . hold volume upkey (only) and plug in usb cord. if that doesnt work buy or make a jig
Seriously we did the whole rainbow screen thing for about 2 full months this past spring. DL mode will never be rainbow, only recovery. It is a safe mode seperate from most everything "we" do to the phone and other than hard bricking your phone you should be able to get into it. I have never heard of DL mode being "rainbowed".
First try to hold both volume keys and power. If that doesn't work try what Troy said and hold volume up and power. If all else fails call a buddy to come and read these directions that everyone is posting. Not trying to be smart but we really did go about 2 months with "rainbows" and I don't remember any bricks or anyone not being able to get into DL.
I've done all of those steps. I have read countless threads about it. I know exactly how played out it is. I have already ordered the damn resistor to make a jig. Nothing is working and that is why I am panicking. I can't imagine how many people pester you guys about the same damn thing. I'm sorry. I just want Odin to read my damn phone so I can upgrade the bootloader and be done with it. adb doesn't read the phone either, no matter what I do. Thank you for your help, if the jig doesn't work then it doesn't work.
*sigh*
If you haven't yet realized, several of the "old pros" on this forum have placated your lack of reading by posting the steps to solve your problem. If none of their solutions have worked, your phone is dead. Given your inability to find such basic information on a problem that has been thoroughly solved 200x over (Hell, I tried to make a thread with "rainbow" in the title and XDA gave me 900 similar threads on the problem) I suggest you try a simpler phone.
Maybe an etch-a-sketch.

You know what I don't seem to get is since when is this forum full of [email protected]? Seriously. I've put in all of my time to search and I did follow all the steps from what I have found and tried it over and over again. You seem to just want to bash people simply because you think they are a moron. You know what I get that, but I how posted repeatedly that I have looked over those forums and still have the same issue, and all I get is a stupid noob video on youtube. Real mature. The mod can close or delete this thread for all I care, I needed help and thanks to you and a few others on here for making things worse then they should have been. For those of you that posted helpful information and tried to help me thank you. I will leave all of you a thanks. I'm done.
You don't understand how exasperating it is for forum regulars to write long, painstakingly researched guides on how to solve common problems only to have a thousand yahoos ignore it, make their own thread, and then ***** when people get snippy that they completely ignored any and all forum guidelines in posting that thread titled "OMG How do I flash a ROM and how do I root and I can't get recovery to install!"
Your problem is not unique. If you're seeing a rainbow, you have not yet reached download mode. Take out the battery. Wait 5 minutes. Plug the ORIGINAL USB cable into your computer. Hold down BOTH volume keys and ONLY both volume keys while inserting the cable. KEEP HOLDING THE KEYS and insert the battery. Release the keys. You should be in download mode. If that doesn't work, you either did it wrong, or your phone is dead. Try it several times over until you're satisfied that it's one or the other.
WoW.. just read through the thread and no one has been out of line... There have been several very good and trusted peeps.. Devs even. . Who gave you an answer. Your problem is jot unique. Download mode does can be a ***** to get into sometimes. Keep trying.
Hi everyone.. after hours and hours of reading and studying on this website I really got myself into a mess and I just can't seem to climb out of it.. I desperately need some grade A help..
To be descriptive, I was trying to flash Serendipity 7, I was following the steps, used odin 3 1.7, I put all the files where they needed be, and followed it down to a tee, I pressed start, and then my phone goes into a boot loop... So I google around to look for solutions, and I thought I found one, well after I flash this "P-SBL.tar.md5" some tar file that is meant to fix the 3 button recovery mode issue. (Basically my cappy can't select anything in recovery mode due to it not having a "ok" button..) So I try it.. and not my recovery mode is littered with multi colored lines.. and I can't seem to get them to go away.
If anyone can help me I would forever be in your debt.. I would be happy just to go back to stock 2.2 if possible.. or perhaps advice on getting serendipity 7 to work.
I could make it happen if only I could get my recovery mode to work. D:
Please anyone help, I'm in dire need..
Thanks!
Search for "stock kb2 adam outler"
Then after you get back to stock, stay that way until you have done about 12 more hrs of research and reading. You were lucky that you didn't hard brick your phone, and you don't realize it. Don't just flash something because you"think"it will fix it. Know what you are flashing and what it will do to your phone. And you can call me an a#&h&$#if you want, but i believe most of the regular users here would agree me.
^
+ 100
Totally agree !!
suoh18, If....wow....whoa....dude don't be so trigger happy to flash. You were this " | " <---(that is a thin thin line by the way) to having a brick.
They need to get rid of that 3 button fix, its bricked more phones than I know, it should include both bootloaders and not just the one, I would contact Adam Outler like mrhaley said, to see if he can help, 3 button fix brick may require a jtag.
I know I was.. I was just reading what everyone was saying how easy it was.. it was my first flash and I guess it just back fired on me.. x_x
I really appreciate your help a ton, you have no clue how thankful I am.
I'm downloading what I need right now and I'm praying it works, thank you again so much.
^
Keep us posted on the end result.
I just used the program.. and it very well got my phone back on the right track. The boot looping stopped, it's back on the recovery mode that I can actually use, but after it loads it just goes to a black screen and keeps vibrating, I read that if it doesn't work the first time to check the flash bootloaders button. so I'm going to reboot one more time, then try that.
Thanks a ton guys, you really are great.
EDIT:
Which I think I need to do, because I still have a weird Galaxy S starting screen that appeared after I tried to flash serendipity.
EDIT 2:
Okay, After re-flashing the bootloaders it removed that screen that shouldn't have loaded, but I still get a black screen after the boot and nothing shows up..
I can enter and exit my recovery and download modes fine..
EDIT3:
Okay.. I went back into recovery mode and literally just wiped everything I could.. cache, user data, internal card, and after I rebooted again, viola it worked.
I'm so happy and I am seriously very appreciative. You guys are great and there has always been a reason why I respect this community so much.
Thanks again everyone that helped me, I don't know how much I can say it, but really, thank you so so so much, you are amazing.
Hi guys, and big brains of the phones technology, im trying to keep myself calm, but my phone its not working and I am exausting of conecting cables, reading things and doing downloads, and I think I completely kill my phone.
1- I made everything we need to do to root the phone, everything probably went well, after doing everything instaling recovery and all that stuff was a htc, dialer not responding and a lot of apps not working, not a big deal, I download a rom and pass to the phone problem fixed.
2- after instaling and rebooting the phone was always going to recovery and after instaling the same rom and trying to reboot always going to recovery. The recovery was the TWRP, after realizing that was impossible to go further with that one and passing another one to the phone e try the usb obg or something, was failing all time to apply a rom and going back to the recovery.
3.Until here nothing alarming if u go the recovery its nothing lost, so I was keeping my hope, so in a very amazing post that seems to by my problem, I read, recovery bad instaled, so instal another one, bad ideia, now its stock on the recovery but its stuck on the red triangle stuff and I can do more nothing that let the batery finish and charge to see going back to de same place without any chance of going in the bootloader do the fastboot and run another recovery.
Any Ideia guys ? If someone around London want to have a look we can a arrange something around my work, lunch, drinks are on me.
Thanks guys !!!:crying::crying::crying:

Well start by posting a "fastboot getvar all" (excluding IMEI and s/n), and details of what exactly did you flash (recoveries, ROM, etc.) with links, names, and version numbers.
Alright, I have a bit of a problem. I've poked around a bit and haven't found anything helpful that's worked, so if there's something that will help me out please let me know. Here's the lowdown on my situation:
Currently running on stock Android 4.4.3 with SunShine having my device unlocked and S-off'ed.
Whenever I turn on my HTC One M8 (On Verizon Wireless) It just sticks itself on the screen that says 'htc' and 'powered by android.' It doesn't move from that screen. Just stays there. I am able to boot into HBoot and get myself into TWRP.
While in TWRP, I'm able to flash ViperOne because that's what I've done (Note: I flashed it AFTER the initial freezing on the screen occurred). I've done it, but again, whenever I boot normally, I get stuck at the same screen.
Another tidbit that might help is that whenever I try to wipe my cache, TWRP fails with "E:Unable to mount '/cache.'"
Is there anything that I can do to fix my issue? I just want to be able to boot into my OS
Thank you in advance. I'll try to stay awake to try things but I've got work tomorrow.
ALSO: NEW ISSUE: Whenever I do a 'battery-pull,' (volume up + power) it just starts itself again. Anyone know what's up?
