Stuck on N1 logo but not bricked

I searched before I posted this question since I know it is a common question but I can't seem to figure out the problem with my phone.
I recently just bought it and I decided to root it. I following the instructions from wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_Nexus_One_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod When I went through the instructions, everything went through smoothly. No errors, all were complete installs but my Nexus One is stuck at the boot screen now. I waited for over 20 minutes but it wouldn't budge at all. I've done the procedure after "fastboot oem unlock" and "Flash CyanogenMod" already but it doesn't seem to make a difference. The flash that I'm currently using is the update-cm-5.0.5.1-N1-signed and gapps-passion-ERE36B-2-signed. Do you have any idea what could be wrong with it or what do you suggest any steps I should take to fixing it?
I don't think my phone is bricked since I'm able to go into Bootloader mode and Recovery.

Try a wipe and if not reflash and re wipe.

Mine is doing this too and i did exactly what OP did
Even after a wipe. Im reflashing right now

5.0.5.2 has just been released. Apparently fixes this bug. get it while it's hot.

Its still taking forever to boot. Im still watching it. What exactly do i do to do a "Wipe"?

Damn I don't have a microSD reader. =\
Is there any way to put the ROM on the microSD via Nexus One?

I'm having the same problem. This is on the recently released ATT compatible N1. I am able to go into Amon_Ra's 1.7 recovery and successfully install the V5.0.5.2 and gapps-passion-EPE54B-signed.zip but still have the same problem. Stuck on the X with the lock. I keep putting the original Rom back and doing it again after a full wipe and still have the same problem.

you dont have your usb cable? I was thinking about that too. Cause i know the nexus has its own memory internally but it doesn't show up under my computer. maybe you can push files through command prompt or something. or on linux

If you have the Amon_Ra's recovery you can do a wipe once you're in recovery.
If you made a backup of the original rom you can just put that back and boot into the original rom. once there, you can mount the usb and download it to the sdcard
you can also download the cyanogen updater from the android market and download the rom to your sdcard to install.

What did the trick for me was fresh install of Cyanogen 5.0.5 which i got to boot succesfully AND THEN use cyanogen updater to get to 5.0.5.2

2 ways, either plug it in via usb and mount it from your notification bar on the phone, or download the rom via the web browser on your phone, then use Astro file browser(free) to move it from downloads to the root folder of your SD card, then flash from recovery.

How long does it usually take to restore? I have about 18 lines of dots. Should it be taking this long?

5.0.5 first then update
Install the base 5.0.5 first then the google add on if you want the apps. After you boot like that update to the latest CM. I saw this some other place and this worked for me, don't wanna take anyone's credit.

Thanks everyone. 5.0.5.2 worked flawlessly once I was able to put it on my microSD.

If you guys don't have a MicroSD Reader, and have the AmonRA recovery, just boot to the recovery and chose I think the 3rd option (Toggle MS USB). You'll be able to see the phone as a mass storage device.

HELP! - Stuck booting to Recovery after trying to flash CM10 :(

Hi,
I flashed my GT-i9000 (Firmware was Gingerbread BUJVY) using CF Root (CF-Root-XW_NEE_JVH-v3.2-CWM3RFS.tar) through ODIN.
All worked fine and I was able to boot into Recovery using the regular Volume Up+Home+Power.
I then proceeded to flash CM10 nightly (23/9/12) (from my external Micro SD card) by wiping data, wiping cache and wiping Dalvik Cache.
I then navigated to the zip file for CM10 and run it. It started ok then qiuckly the phone rebooted and rebooted into a newer version of CWM (6.0.1.4).
From here I cannot do anything at all!! It won't recognise my Micro SD now to even run the installation again
I'm hoping someone may be able to help, I would really appreciate it!
TIA!

Do you know what version is your Firmware? is it 2.3.3 or 2.3.6?, IF its 2.3.3 your boot loader needs to be updated to 2.3.6 for you use , If its already 2.3.6, than you should be able to use CWM recovery to reinstall the CM 10 from your SD card. (But by doing this you may lose your IMEI as you should do a progressive upgrade , like from GB 2.3.6>ICS CM9>JB) or flash a semaphore JB kernel
Easiest way out would be for you to use a JVU ROM to recover, safe your EFS, than proceed to CM 9 and than to CM 10...
you can get a rescue kit or JVU+CFRoot from My Android Collections and or a solution from My Android Solutions

Hi there,
I was on Gingerbread 2.3.6 before I ran the above.
I have gotten a bit further than the above. I managed to mount the phone as a USB whilst in CWM and put the CM10 zip file on the actual phone memory. I then wiped data/cache/dalvik and rerun the install. It installed but didn’t reboot itself, so I rebooted manually and then the Cyanogenmod logo started up and it booted into CM10. Looked ok apart from the Home Button didn’t work!!
Do you think I should still run the above??
Rooting this phone and flashing ROMS is more difficult than my Galaxy S3!!
Cheers

Since you are already on CM 10, you need to solve your home button problem, try doing a wipe in recovery, if fails, flash again the CM 10

Hmmm, it didn’t work.
What I’ve done since though is try to flash another ROM.
I’ve flashed the ‘xBean’ ROM with success, however, I did encounter the exact same problem when flashing the ROM as mentioned above
I wiped data/cache/dalvik and run the install for xBean. It stopped after the first install attempt and rebooted itself, however it just brought me back to the CWM screen (although this time different from the CM CWM).
So I wiped data/cache/dalvik, then run the install again. This time it went through the full install but again (like with CM) it didn’t rebooted automatically. I manually rebooted and then the xBean logo came up and booted in.
This time the home button is working, and pretty much everything else is too by the looks of it. So far so good!
I guess my question would be, why does the ‘ghost installs’ keep happening???

[Q] HELP!!! Cappy Dead Or Alive?? any hope??

i have been running slim bean latest till date for some time now on my Captivate. few days back in the morning while i was playing music, my phone freezed for about 30 seconds and suddenly restarted. the problem is that the phone cant even boot. once it loads the kernel image and enters the bootanimation for about 10 seconds, it will keep rebooting till infinity. i left the phone for hours and flashed another Jb rom through the external sd card. after about 4 hours, the phone freezed and restarted with the same circling restart again. i left it for hours longer than before and succeeded in flashing ics rom. this time around, the phone freezed and restarted as usual in 1 hr. i tried to go back to stock gb which i did with heimdall one click package. after flashing the phone rebooted in recovery with errors that cant mount sd card and so on. i flashed an ics kernel luckily for me i was able to access the sd card this time around and flashed an ics rom. within 10nmins the phone freezed and restarted as usual. from here was the last i got progress with this phone. if i succeed in getting into recovery, i will get an error cant mount sd card likewise cant mount ext sd card. the condition of my phone now is that it never enters recovery no matter what i flash all it does, is restart in 2 - 3 secs whether in recovery or not. please what is the solution to this problem. is the chip responsible for mounting sd cards in the phone's main board dead or alive? because each time i manage to see sd card again, the content is always untouched.

Getting in download mode and flashing KK4 through Odin is your best bet atm. Once that's done, keep it that way (only get the apps you need) and see if it reboots again. If so, it is most likely a hardware issue but I'm thinking it isn't so far.
I would also suggest to redownload the ROMs and kernel you want to use and delete the hold ones.
If everything goes well with KK4, move up to a custom ROM (I'm sure you know the drill). But once again, only install the apps you really need (fresh install instead of restoring). A bit of a slow process but better be safe than sorry.

Thanks for replying but KK4 is the exact stock rom i flashed, two different types of it to be precise. it wont boot aswell as it restarts just like any other and says sd error in its recovery.

Do you use a external SD?
Usually flashing stock KK4 (through heimdall of Odin) will completely wipe any errors that isn't hardware related.
Just to be clear, KK4 flashes just fine but on the auto-reboot, it goes directly into recovery and gives you that error? If so, are you able to factory reset once you're in recovery?
Usually, after flashing KK4, the phone will fully start so something isn't flashing right. Also, have you tried flashing KK4 with the bootloaders?

i did exactly that.that is flashing the KK4 rom through heimdall as my cappy refused to be detected by odin since i flashed heimdall. it flashed ust fine and booted to recovery
this is the error i got

this is the error i got on the recovery after flashing and it booted into recovery on its own. i have an external sd card. i also copied a custom rom to my external sd card and flashed an ICS recovery that enables intallation of zip files from external sd card. but when i succed in booting into recovery with it, it will give me error can't mount sd card likewise error cant mount external sd card. this is as far i can go

Did u ever see the "Encryption Unsuccessful" screen ? That's what ur problem sounds like. There r two threads in the Dev forum about that subject.

I believe I mentionned this before but Odin won't work on the same USB port Heimdall installs it's drivers on. You need to use a different port for both. Also, on a PC, I would highly suggest using the ports in the back for Odin (somehow they always seem to work better).

If you're able to mount through recovery, put the ROMs and kernel you want to flash on your internal SD (16gb). I'm not so sure why it won't read your external but it might be what's causing the errors. So once you moved those (if you're able to mount of course), turn off your phone, remove your external SD and give it another try. Kinda a shot in the dark but we're running short on options here.

I though about that too but flashing KK4 (through Odin or Heimdall) should take care of it and atleast let him boot on stock. I guess it is worth a try tho!

wow. u wont believe this. after sending my last message, i flashed KK4 again just for luck, i got the error as usual. i now did a factory reset, got an error though and rebooted the system. to my greatest surprise and for the first time, it booted to stock and started up without problem. i did a full format of the hard drive immediately as it was almost full. now i've been running the phone for 5 hrs now. and has not experienced any freeze so far.
as for the encryption unsuccessful, YES i've seen it twice. i will read on that and see what might have happened. thanks guys.

Perhaps you can re-download the kernel. I believe it has a specific root version.

Bricked after ROM Flash

I had a stock Optus firmware for my s5830 running 2.3.6 Gingerbread. I installed a zip off the internet to remove the stock Optus apps so I could root the phone, which i ended up doing.
I then installed Clockwork Mod 5, which installed successfully. After, i proceeded to install a custom ROM called "The Ultimatum", the installation went fine, i selected the kernel which didn't require an extra partition so it would not go into a bootloop. No errors were shown during installation.
I then rebooted my phone and now it is stuck into a bootloop. I thought "Oh yeah, i can just flash the custom 2.3.6 firmware back onto my device, which i have done many times". But to my surprise, my PC does not recognize my phone in download mode. I have tried using two cables as well as deleting drivers and reinstalling them.
If it helps, i once had ROM Manager installed as it said so on an online tutorial for my exact device. I did not use any features in it, but it is installed. Also when i mount the sd card to the computer, it is fully empty.
Anyone please help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated,

Thankyou for this, it must have been something with the USB port on my main laptop as I used my school laptop and it all worked fine. Without the sd card it went into another boot loop, Odin seemed to like the sd card :/ It has booted up fine.
Only problem now is when I apply the root zip SuperSU is not showing, I'll fully set up the device and then I'll see if it is a problem.

[Q] accessing external SD from recovery?

So I rooted my daughters samsung SGH-T599N, and installed philz touch and was planning on putting a custom rom on the phone. unfortunately out of habit, I put the rom file, and gapps file on the external SD, booted to recovery.. wiped cache, dalvik and factory reset to install a new rom. Unfortunately this device will not access the external SD card through the recovery, and now the phone just gets stuck with the samsung logo when turned on (so i cant turn debugging on again).... I can't get odin, or any other program to read and connect properly.... and now I'm stuck... I have been searching online for several days now trying to find a solution, but have come up empty. Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.. I was even thinking to use adb to transfer files over but have been unsuccessful as of yet ...

sorry to burst your bubble but this exhibit 4g section is for T679 version.

do you have cwm installed? if so you could boot into that and in the advanced menu there's an option called mount usb storage. just make sure your phone is plugged into your computer boot into cwm and then advanced/mount usb storage, then open my computer and your external drive should so up also your internal I believe, so you could transfer your new rom and gapps to a new location of your choice.. though i'm not sure how you'd would do this on odin or other recovery software.

I actually had philz touch cwm installed, but I resolved the problem by flashing back to stock with odin in recovery mode... turns out this device just doesnt read external sd from recovery. adb push didnt work, sideload didnt work..lol . But good ole odin saved my butt again
