ADDING THE LINK HERE NOW : https://www.dropbox.com/s/it4ji9mlohfgagf/NexusOne-rescue-tools.zip
And please, a THANKS would be great if this helped you.
For some reason the phone one day just didn't boot. Was stuck on X logo.
We have tried alot... can't get into recovery, so flashed custom recovery, both RA and CWM... can't get into any of them, just stuck on X.
The phone was stock, and unrooted.
We managed to unlock bootloader via fastboot and root it.
Tried the PASSIMG.ZIP method - not working.
Any ideas?
.... please? =(
EDIT: Problem solved! Send me a PM if you're in the same seat, and i could send you all the files you need.
Oh, all you need is your FASTBOOT to work, no need for ADB, since it didn't work for me either.
EDIT #2:
The reason is that i have a file (ADB, and all the *.img's) needed on my server, and don't wanna post the link here so that's why i have done it thru PM.
But i'll update the first post and just delete the link, so when anyone needs it they can PM me.
So far (2012-02-10) 14 phones confirmed back up running, including mine. Got 2 unconfirmed, and just sent 5 PM's to guys with the same problem.
*** PM ME FOR THE LINK TO THE *.ZIP ***
Unzip, open an command promt, and:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash system system.img
do the commands in that order, and when you are done reboot the phone
and see if it boots.
if NOT: keep on flashing ONLY the boot.img again and again until it
boots. it seems like the boot partition is corrupted and may need alot
of flashing until it works.
i think i flashed like 100 times before it booted. =)
There is also another recovery in that zip... RA's recovery. You can also try that one, no harm done!
Once you get it to boot, you will have FroYo 2.2 installed.
If you got it to boot with recovery.img just let android update to latest (2.3.7?)
If you have RA's recovery, just flash back recovery.img or you wont be able to upgrade to 2.3.7 "the stock way"
Can you boot without sd card?

How do i find out?
When we searched yesterday (google), we found some ppl who had fixed it, now i can't find those pages again..
So anyone here who knows what to try?
I've been in a similar situation before and just kept fastboot flashing system, recovery, and boot, and eventually I recovered the phone...
I assume since you mentioned that you unlocked the bootloader, that you can get into fastboot? If so, flash a custom recovery (I'd recommend CWM since it includes an option to wipe the system partition) and boot into it.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "c:\location\to\recovery.img
fastboot boot recovery "c:\location\to\recovery.img
If you can get that far, wipe your /system partition and do a factory reset. Then install CM7 (or whatever ROM you want) and gapps.

Thanks!
But we have tried to fastboot system.img, boot.img and recovery.img
Still stuck on X.
Is that code any different perhaps?
I can't try that now, that's why i ask instead of try it =)
All the commands that I posted are supposed to do is install a custom recovery and then boot into it. From recovery, you need to wipe your device by wiping the /system partition and doing a Factory Reset/Data Wipe. Then install whatever ROM you want to.
I've never tried using fastboot to install the system image, so I can't comment on that at all.
O M G!!!
i actually got the phone up and running!! everything is working now, i'm just too awesome
If anyone is interested, i could find out what i did, and which files i flashed, etc etc.
Just an update:

Is it an illegal method, or is there another reason why a fix like this you're only sharing by PM instead of posting it here? I sent you a PM over 24hrs ago and haven't heard back yet. I would think making one helpful post would be much easier than getting irritated at replying to each of 10-100+ PMs

Nexus One recovery boot error
PM sent. Thank you for your assistance.
i would like to know how to you solve the problem
No recovery for unrooted fones
first root ur phone using passimg.img
and fastboot flash bootloard oem unlock etc
and then try to flash a recovery using
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then u r done
Thank if it helps u
My question is similar to 'nikpmr's troubles but different enough I think they deserve a separate post.
The Problem as UnderstoodI was trying to root my device following the guide at this website. It's so simple it's a wonder I messed up. I think my failure was that I thought the drivers installed when I connected the phone were enough so I skipped that step. Then when running fastboot flash recovery.img the install failed. So I saw on some forum that it was supposed to be fastboot flash boot recovery.img of course now I know if anything it ought to have been "recovery" not "boot".
What I've Tried & Partial SolutionAt first I was just stuck in a boot loop and selecting "sideload" from the CWM recovery failed to allow me to connect with ADB or fastboot. i.e. Running "fastboot devices" and "adb devices" both returned as having no devices connected to my computer. So I installed the HTC Sync and promptly uninstalled the non driver parts of the app. Then I installed USBdeview and used it to uninstall all the USB devices associated with my HTC First. After doing that I learned booting into HBOOT allowed me to connect to the computer using fastboot and after then booting to the CWM Recovery I was able to connect using ADB to do a sideload. So I guess I'm about halfway there. Unfortunately after looking up the newest RUU and attempting to sideload it using "adb sideload OTA_MYST_UL_1.08.502.1-1.08.502.4.zip" the sideload failed. After selecting "- install zip from sideload" I get a message twice of "failed to open driver control: No such file or directory". It also failed when I attempted it with a similar fastboot command. So from all that I surmise my ROM is ruined and just needs to be replaced.
QuestionSo how do I go about replacing this ROM and boot partition? And, which ROM should I use? Is the one I got from the RUU site suitable? And what about the radio? I just need my phone to work. I can worry about rooting later. At this point I think I know what's happened but I don't know where to begin reading to figure out how to fix it myself.
Thanks for reading,

1. you had to type in fastboot flash recovery recovery.img NOT fastboot flash boot recovery.img
Well there was an actual all in 1 tool to get cwm/twrp & root with a click for this specific device somewhere around these threads.
1) what exactly is the problem? (Sorry it was just so many words)
I don't think side loading the RUU would work bc I haven't heard its possible to flash it in the phone itself.
2) why don't you just sideload an existing pre-rooted ROM instead of the RUU file?
3) I see you're s-on, did you try flashing just the boot.IMG from the ROM you've got on it?
BTW I've only had luck with twrp on having it successfully detected when wanting to sideload

1) The issue is I did "fastboot flash boot recovery.img" rather than "fastboot flash recovery.img" now I don't seem to have a boot mount point.
2) That sounds best. I didn't realize the RUU want a flashable ROM. More I just have to find the updated stable stock ROM.
3) I didn't have a ROM on it. I was just trying to root stock. Seems like I'm pretty close once I find that ROM.
Thanks y'all! Between your answers I think I have enough to go on. Feel free to point me to your preferred stable ROM. I'm content with stock but it would be nice to have Tiranium BU.

Thanks guys I know I always like to know when something I said was successful in helping someone. I just wanted yall to know after sideloading the most recent Odexed ROM then pushing it to memory after it wouldn't boot I succeeded after taking abrahammmmmm's advice of flashing the boot.img from HBOOT. After a longer boot than I'm used to I was able to get into my phone again. I wasn't able to use my TitaniumBU to restore but that just meant I had to spend a few minutes selecting apps to install.. And restoring a data backup for the only important app that doesn't keep the primary data off the phone.
Thanks again!
tl;dr Flashing the Odexed ROM boot.img fixed my issues. Thx!

i think what happened, when you typed in "fastboot flash boot recovery.img" is this
boot, is also known as kernel in aosp and rom building terms, because if you look inside a rom.zip, you will see that the kernel is the boot.img
so what happened is you flashed a recovery as kernel, and duh it wont boot cause if the kernel doesnt work, the os doesnt either
so what YOU did is you simply reflashed the stock kernel, usually after changing a kernel, it takes a while to boot cause...well you get it right?
the kernel is what android is based off of, kind of like ubuntu, its a linux os based on the original linux kernel.

That's what I thought happened. If I had stopped to read the help on fastboot before running "fastboot flash boot recovery.img" I wouldn't have made that mistake because I would have seen I wanted to flash recovery. One thing I *did not* know, which I'm glad to know, was that the boot.img contains the kernal. I was thinking Android was more similar to IBM style PCs than it is and therefore the boot.img was analogous to a bootloader like grub or lilo.
So the one thing I don't get is how is partitioning done? I take it Androids have some reserved partition for boot and the boot.img takes care of all system partitioning and mounts /sdcard/ for everything else. i.e. userland; appdata, media, and files. Am I guessing correctly?

in a nutshell yes, the boot.img uses the fstab

Yep that's correct.
The name correlation is booting up requires kernel there for kernel is called beet.IMG
Thing about custom kernels, they aren't like that and simply contain modded files and pretty much an in packaged kernel.

thats correct these are via ADB mfastboot (which ignores OTA fingerprint check) as flashes full firmware, not the ota.zip which is only a smaller (not full firmware) update
ota.zip is NOT full firmware, so will not fix a corrupted / altered or non stock firmware
but you say you've flashed many roms.... you need to be on correct rom and matching recovery and also un-rooted to flash a OTA.zip as it checks Recovery version and the build fingerprint inside /system folder of original stock rom. if any of these mismatch it will fail.
also (apologies if wrong) but dont you believe your phone to be corrupted or read only hence why you cant flash images?

So let me make a backup of twrp and see if i can post results, thanks allot, iveen waiting to fix this for so many days now.

Seems like its on read only mode or freezed as a deepfreezed computer, dont mater how many roms i flash and the way i do, everything comes back to the same state, even if i reforma partitions, eeven if i delete pictures or folders, they come back once i reboot.

ok ii'm thinking corrupted partitions too.... but if you are willing to try i've made a xt1063 easy installer script for you to try now normally i work on xt1068 and would test on my xt1068 - so have NO xt1063 its UNTESTED - use at own risk.....
just stock firmware / drivers / adb and mfastboot ( same as my xt1068 script) I see no reason it should not be compatible.
download to pc / unzip to folder / read instruction inside

I repeat it YOUR choice - if it works- great - if runs ok but rom remains same would suggest somethings corrupt - if it doesnt work at all back to square 1....
now im presuming your boot loader is unlocked, as will fail if locked or relocked - if you use and get error please report what they are, i would have done 5.0.2 but its only 50% downloaded with a 1 hr+ to still go, estimate 2 hrs from time of this post until I can post a link

I tried your easy install tool, brand new drivers, diferent usb port, all went smooth but after restart, im at the same situation. Funny thing, and ivee done this multiple times, after reflashing a new rom, most of them never give errors, then after nothing happens , i flash twrp and boot it, and all the files (the original ones , not the just flashed ones) are there intact, even pictures and music.

ok have you tried mfastboot erase userdata and mfastboot erase cache? from a command window?
i.m interested in the I flash twrp and boot..... does this mean you are able to replace recovery with a custom recovery ON phone
rather than temporary booting into it?

Yeah i tried those erase commands many many times and same result, i cant replace recovery at all, only boot of it, so when i do " mfastbooot flash recovery twrprecovery.img " then try to boot of recovery, i boot into factory recovery not, twrp, but if i do, "mfasboot boot twrprecovery.img" i can see the recovery img gets flashed and the phone boots of twrp. Weird behavior. So when i notice that i tried to flash a rom with mfastboot, and at the end i gave the command mfasboot boot recovery.img (the original rom recovery) then it gets flashed, and phone reboots, but i gets stuck at the motorola logo. This phone its playing hard to get....
heres, my backup https://mega.co.nz/#!md0AwbLR!uWe9PLklIugOziPLV6O_plbU-Zz9EXbqRvUVpYxECk0 hope you can find something.
Im going to take this phone to a shop to see if they can fix it as i have lost all hope, thanks refuuge for your help.
Hi everyone! So right now, I am on vacation, and I was messing around with my Nexus 6 when I decided to lower my DPI as I read that that would raise my battery life. So I did so, but as I was rebooting, I got stuck in a bootloop, with a message that read: "Android is starting; starting apps..." and then the screen would go black and it would start all over, indefinitely. So then I went into TWRP recovery and went to erase, but I accidentally erased everything. How do I get the OS back on the phone? I have the .tar file for the OS from Google's website, and I have ADB installed and prepped on my laptop, but how to I do the flash? Thanks!

Hi everyone! So right now, I am on vacation, and I was messing around with my Nexus 6 when I decided to lower my DPI as I read that that would raise my battery life. So I did so, but as I was rebooting, I got stuck in a bootloop, with a message that read: "Android is starting; starting apps..." and then the screen would go black and it would start all over, indefinitely. So then I went into TWRP recovery and went to erase, but I accidentally erased everything. How do I get the OS back on the phone? I have the .tar file for the OS from Google's website, and I have ADB installed and prepped on my laptop, but how to I do the flash? Thanks!

Mount as MTP in TWRP an transfer a ROM from your laptop. You may need to use fastboot and run:
fastboot format userdata
But just try to transfer a ROM first.

I tried that, but my ROM is the stock Android ROM from Google's website, and it seems that TWRP can't flash a .tar file. Could I convert it to a functioning .zip somehow?

I'm sorry I didn't know you were trying to flash a factory image. I would recommend downloading a ROM from the development section, something close to stock, and use that to get up and running first. Then you can return to stock if that is what you are trying to do.

Read the sticky threads in general. All our guides are there.
When I initially went to unlock the bootloader, I encountered an issue, which I did not record anywhere. (Don't remember what it was.) In the end, I was able to update the recovery to the newest available version used here. I could install the Lineage OS roms and I did, except the internal memory was decreased to something like 600mb.
I don't remember what I did from there, but I think I tried to load a scatter file over and flash that. Evidently I barely have a grip on what I'm discussing. I would like to salvage this phone. Its currently showing 0mb for internal storage. Not sure how I can flash a rom over that.
I need to fix the partitioning, but I don't know how and I don't know what to do. Please help. The bootloader is unlocked and not secure.

I have had similar issue , with loosing use of internal storage, normally , on my other devices it could be fixed by doing "format data" either in fastboot or twtp. But I found that sometimes that is not working. What I did , and what I suggest you to try, is to fastboot boot stock-recovery.img, then do factory reset.

I don't think I can format the data partition right now, but I will check and try that as soon as the phone charges again. I've been trying and sort of giving up, because I have a lot to learn about the basics before I can actually fix anything without any help. Fastboot mode and then how do I boot the stock-recovery.img? Where do I get that?
Do you mean from a stock rom? Should I allow TWRP to enable read-only mode, because I think it said that it may overwrite TWRP with the stock recovery? Sorry for the ignorance, I'm trying to figure out what I can without help, but I've never been this deep. I've always managed to do these things correctly in the past, without having an extensive understanding of the filesystem or what a kernel is or a bootloader.
Thanks for replying, thanks for your work on the roms here too, by the way.

Use the stock recovery linked in this linked thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=73290731&postcount=8
there is also directions in the same linked thread , few posts down on how to fastboot boot recovery image.
once booted, try to do factory reset, hopefully it formats your data partition for you.
