I've got a nexus one with a broken power button and a corrupt OS. It rarely successfully manages to boot. Since this is the case, I'm not able to turn on USB debugging to follow some of the tutorials here..
My next try was fastboot.. I downloaded these two files:
recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-passion.img
update-cm-7.1.0-N1-signed.zip
But it seems like I wont be able to flash a recovery file if I have "s-on" displayed on my hboot or fastboot screen..
How do I gain "s-off"? And is it possible to flash a stock rom via fastboot?
And yes, my phone's got stock gingerbread 2.3.4 rom.
HBOOT 0.35.0017
MICROP 0b15
Touch panel SYNT0103
Radio 5.08.00.04
Please help me with this matter as I have been trying to accomplish this task for over three months now..
Read Nexus One wiki, section "root", and section "recovery".
You don't need S-OFF to flash anything, if you unlock your bootloader. This is Nexus.
Boot into fastboot, plug into your PC, open command prompt wherever you have the fastboot command in Windows, most likely in android sdk under platform-tools, run "fastboot oem unlock" from command prompt, your bootloader is now unlocked. Attempt to flash your recovery now."

It's already unlocked, as there is a small open lock displayed at the bottom of the boot screen.. and fastboot displayed it as already unlocked as well.. still.. i need a way to go to recovery without the power button
If you're in the bootloader - "fastboot reboot recovery".
If you're in the OS or while the OS is booting and ADB daemon is already running - "adb reboot recovery".

fastboot reboot recovery doesnt seem to boot the phone to recovery..
should the OS be completely booted up if I want to use the adb command? because it displays the error "error: device not found" when I try to "adb reboot recovery"
Might this be a problem with my computer? I checked and confirmed that the drivers for the phone are successfully installed...

Yes, I can fastboot works ok because I can flash recovery image and reboot phone through fastboot. But since my power button is broken, I need to reboot to recovery through the computer...

First try: "adb reboot recovery" or "fastboot reboot-recovery"
If that doesn't work, give this a good read to see if it will help you:

If you are able to flash the recovery via fastboot, then I see no reason why you should not be able to reboot into recovery via fastboot or adb.

OR

Both are the same, the second one is easier to follow.
OR
Put your recovery .img file into the same folder as your fastboot command, and run this: "fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.4-passion.img"
^^^^^USE YOUR RECOVERY NAME...NOT THE EXACT ONE ABOVE^^^^^
First try: "adb reboot recovery" or "fastboot reboot-recovery"

I've attached an image showing proof that I've tried your method but still kept on failing to reboot to recovery..
When i try the command "fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-passion.img", the phone simply restarts and goes back to the 'X' boot screen and gets stuck there.
Could anyone please find me an genuine unedited gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM so I can PASSIMG it? ... I've downloaded several rooted ones.. but all seem to need the "android-info" file
fastboot reboot recovery
No "reboot-recovery".
And if you still get stuck on "X" when you reboot to recovery - it means that your recovery is corrupted/unusable too, and you need to PASSIMG everything.
Generally, booting the recovery through "fastboot boot" should have done enough - if your phone can't boot, it might probably be a HW problem preventing it from booting, and in that case - nothing will help.

I've attached an image trying out "fastboot reboot recovery" fastboot doesnt even seem to send that command to the phone..
Could anyone please provide me with a genuine stock gingerbread 2.3.4 or higher PASSIMG file? i've searched a lot but all i see are modded or rooted ones.
Yes, you're right. Fastboot can't reboot to recovery, only adb.
Oh well, in that case you're out of luck. You can't PASSIMG without power button, so if "fastboot boot some_boot_image" doesn't help - there's not much left to do.
You could always disassemble the phone and fix the power button...

Here's the 2.3.6 PASSIMG zip file link. Follow the directions. If you can get into BootLoader, your phone should automatically boot this if you have it named to PASSIMG.zip, and on the ROOT of your SD card:

I've seen an in depth video tutorial on youtube and attempted to repair the power button on my own.. however I failed since I cannot do such tiny soldering..

Fastboot erase cache command will fix this problem. Boot to your bootloader select fastboot usb and run that command.

I assume you are using windows...? Do you have adb installed/working? If the answer to both of these is yes. Reboot your phone to the bootloader (hboot) select fastboot usb in hboot. Open a cmd Window cd to the dir where adb is located. Then run the command in the above post.

Last time this happened there was a script that was running that corrupted the cache partition. That is why erasing cache fixes it.

Okay where is your adb file? Ex mine is in a C:/Android. By default if you installed the android SDK the adb files would be in the SDK folders. Any way if you were fast boot flashing a recovery your going to do the same thing just use fastboot erase cache as the command instead of the recovery command. If none of this makes since PM me.

Sounds like maybe you have hboot 1.54? fastboot boot recovery.img doesn't work on 1.54. Holding volume down and power has 100% success rate for me for rebooting to bootloader.

So im stuck with my nexus with no OS... after flashing pure shamu it booted to just a password box... I input my password and it said i had corrupt data. I hit reset... wiped phone... all files GONE... Now what do i do. I cant mount to put recovery on.... I cant do anyting with this phoen right now... anyone had this happen... If so what steps to remedy?
Sounds like you need to try and fastboot the original google files, nuke and repave....
flash the stock img then start again
Flashing stock as we speak... was hoping another optino.... but after years of doing this I kinda know better... live and learn

Hi there, i'm new with Android and my problem is the same as yours on my Nexus 6.
after a failed root, i accidentally deleted all data. Now i'm without OS, boot locked, and the TWRP recovery has been deleted too (when i select recovery mode, it come back to the fastboot menu). i cannot use "fastboot oem unlock"
I don't know what i have to do . I really need help, i just want to restart from the beggining like official rom ...
sry for bad english.

If you can boot to TWRP recovery, then you can ADB push a ROM to recovery and boot it.
Edit: Sorry, I missed the fact that TWRP had been deleted too.

No, if you can boot to TWRP, as @rootSU said, you can move a ROM to internal and get up and running. Then you can go about unlocking.

Power off the device. Once completely shut down, hold power and volume down until bootloader screen appears. Then use the volume keys to select recovery. Then push power to select.
from your original post, it says your not running twrp anymore. have you tried just letting the phone try to boot up? have you tried reflashing twrp to your phone via fastboot. id try, and if its successful, id push a rom to my phone then. if not, try flashing a factory img.
