Let me know if you can help...
So I did a system update for my phone on Friday and when it went to restart after the update it was stuck on the 'htc quietly brilliant'.
I don't how to get it booted successfully and have tried the recovery options in the menu except for the one that resets everything, just in case I am able to not lose much. I have read a lot about this and tried connecting by usb but it doesnt show up on my computer.
Is there any way to get the phone to boot?
In the recovery menu it says:
'failed to open loopdevice (No such file or directory)'
it says that 6 times then says
failed to mount /sdcard (No such or directory)
Bootloader screen says:
*** Locked ***

My PC is Windows 8.1.... phone is stock and has been unlocked a year and half ago to be used with my provider.
What other info would help?
Anyways if any one can help let me know! Thanks
You could try unlocking the bootloader, rooting and then flashing a ROM with a new kernel..

if you have another phone or an sd card adapter, you can put the ROM on the sd card, then boot to recovery, flash the ROM, boot to bootloader and flash the kernel via fastboot and then wipe cache and dalvik cache again and then your phone will reboot. if you are reflashing stock rom then no need to flash kernel.
and no it wont delete superuser if you are using a custom rom or a rooted stock rom.

I have an Incredible S, running CM-7.1.I tried updating to CM-7.2, and I got a wi-fi error, couldn't turn on the wi-fi. Tried nightly versions of 7.2 the same problem came up. I switched to MIUI rom (2.3, 2.4, 2.8, 2.9) and I got the same problem. Wi-fi could not work. The only rom that works on my mobile phone is the CM-7.1I dont want that ROM anymore. Now I am close throwing the phone on the wall, so please suggest me a way to clean my phone from every data possible, and give me a link to a stable ROM I can download. Any advice will be useful

Yes I am. I cannot install any ROMS, excepts CM-7.1, and I am looking for a way to wipe everything on my phone and install a MUIU working ROM. or any other ROM
Till you are s on you have to flash the boot.img inside the Rom.zip manually via fastboot.
Means, extract the boot.img into your fastboot folder on pc, flash the Rom on the Device, go into bootloader - fastboot and write on the pc in the terminal
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
And reboot device.
If you had a s off bootloader you won't have to do that.

Which one requires less time? option 1 or 2?
Can u give me detailed instructions to use flashboot (option 1)?
How can I s-off my bootloader?
Option 2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22789885
Since you are s-on recovery can't enter the boot partition, means you have the flash the boot.img again with the kernel and modules for WiFi, Calling etc.
But you can access it through fastboot so you have to reflash it.
Helpful enough?

Edit, since you are s-on you will maybe have to downgrade your hboot and flash the revolutionary hboot, but I can't explain that now 'cos I have tomorrow my first school day and I have to look good
You can use the search funktion, keywords: downgrade, revolutionary

are you serious...??? really..??? not about your hboot,,,are you serious that you have been flashing rom for a year..??? dude you should no that you are in fastboot mode not hboot mode..:silly::silly::silly::silly::silly::silly::silly:
to go into hboot mode select bootloader from your fastboot menu...
or else power down your phone completly and the press volume down and power..you would see every thing there
and by the way nothing is wrong with your hboot..continue your flashing work....:silly::silly::silly::silly::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

What ROM was it? Did you try to flash the boot.img instead of the ROM.zip? I didn't really understand your original post.
If you flash the Zip it should go through the whole Aroma installer, etc...

Yeah its buggy as hell sometimes, I think it helps to use the volume and power buttons to navigate through it.
If it crashes just force reboot to recovery and try again.

You don't need to flash boot.img after flashing ARHD. I'm using ARHD with a custom kernel and never flashed a boot.img once.
Where are you when trying to reboot?

pull it from the rom zip(boot)and put it in your fastboot directory.

boy, i don't know at this point, you may have borked the radio, i would try to ruu, get back to stock and start all over.keep in mind if you run an RUU you have to relock the bootloader to do so. then you can unlock again and go from there.install recovery etc/

Also, I suggest using the revone s-off method from the revolutionary team. It allows you to flash ROMs more easily without flashing the boot.img separately. The link to the thread on how is in my web signature.

So I've had a nexus one for a while now, and recently I decided to root it. I managed to unlock my bootloader and flash clock work recovery. I then made a stupid mistake of trying to flash a rom before rooting my phone or backing up my rom. When I power on my phone now it just freezes on the boot animation. The only thing I can do is access recovery. What is the easiest way to root my nexus one in this condition or is there anyway of flashing a rom, hence fixing it? Preferably from a Mac but I may be able to get access to windows or linux. Thanks in advance

Turn off your phone, pop your SD card in your comp and copy the su.zip into it. Pop it back into your phone, boot into recovery and flash it on. Voila, root access!
Then wipe cache, dalvik-cache and all those and reflash the ROM again. You should be good to go.
BTW. I hope you are flashing a ROM which needs a stock HBOOT. Coz for JB ROMs, custom HBOOT is needed. Cheers!

Thanks a lot for the help! Do you know of any JB or ICS roms that do not require a special HBOOT? And where is the download for the su.zip you mentioned? Thanks a lot
All newer ROMs have a larger system partition requirement, why not flash an older gingerbread ROM that doesn't require black rose until you get the hang of flashing.
You don't need to flash superuser or busy box or anything first, just wipe all in recovery, flash ROM (plus anything else needed like gapps) reboot

@demkantor is right. Basically you don't need su.zip coz most ROMs will have that flashed in already. I think the problem you were facing was because you did not wipe your cache/dalvik-cache and data before flashing on the ROM.
