So i recently bought a nexus 6 from att..
I had rooted it an unlocked the bootloader.
after a few days OI have decided that I dont really like the size of it and want to return it for something else.
I followed the guide to unroot it and all that, but when I get to the step of booting into recovery, it says no command..
So i tried to continue to follow directions by holding the power+ volume up key to boot into recovery, and then it just boots through to the setup screen..
am i finished or do I need to re flash the recovery?
Thanks in advance for any help provided.
i dont know what you did, but all you have to do is flash the factory img via fastboot.

if you did the factory img, then yes. is your bootloader locked? if it isnt, via fastboot.. fastboot oem lock

I followed this guide to the letter, except for this part:
"- After everything finished, select "Recovery" using the volume buttons.
- When a small Android appears, press Power Button + Volume UP.
- Select "Wipe data/factory data reset"
I didnt get the option to do any of that, should I assume that its all good and clean?
I do appreciate your help, and I am just trying to cover my tracks haha.
I was just concerned that I couldnt get it to go into recovery to do that final wipe, I dont want to have to pay for it from ATT..

if you boot into your bootloadee, then press the volume keys to choose recovery, then press recovery, do you boot into its recovery or do you get an error?

My nexus one is stuck in a bootloop, the power button is broken and it has a locker bootloader, so i cant flash a update.zip or a custom rom, can't flash or access the amon ra recovery (amon ra was already installed, so i tried to install again and it didnt worked) or even it's original recovery.img.
The only thing i think i can do is to flash a nandroid backup with fastboot, but i don't have one. Can anyone send me one for me to try to fix it?
I dont live in the USA, so there is no way i can send it to HTC to fix it
I think you're a little confused. The reason the recovery didn't flash via fastboot is because your bootloader is locked, it's also the reason why attempting to flash nandroid .img files will also not work. You can either unlock the bootloader or use the PASSIMG method to get into a working system, at which point you can adb reboot recovery to restore your nandroid. There are other ways but I find this to be the quickest and simplest.
Can't do either of those things without a power button.
If you have Amon Ra's recovery installed then you can use ADB to boot into it (adb reboot recovery), or install Quickboot from the Market, and do what you need to.

First thing is to power up your n1 w/o touching the power button.
Here is how:-
The trick is to connect the phone via USB to a power source (a charger or computer) and then to remove and insert the battery successively, after a while (5-10 insertions) the device will get confuse and will start.
Once u power up, proceed to your recovery and do whatever u need to do to recover your bootloop.

Sure, here you go. Once completed you can either pull your battery or fastboot reboot to get into the stock ROM. From there, I'm sure you know what to do

Just one more question, will i need the power button for this PASSIMG method? because mine is broken, that's why i can't unlock my bootloader neither. on the bootloader unlock method it says that i need to press the power button to confirm the procedure.
I think with the PASSIMG method you don't need the power button.

PASSIMG method didn't worked. It says:
Hold down the Volume Down button as you power your phone back on.
A screen should appear showing your phone’s system searching for various files. This will take up to 2 minute
When i power on the phone and press volume down, it just boots at fastboot, nothing else happens =\
Vol- should take you to HBOOT? To get to Fastboot you'd have to hold the trackball.

yeah, u're right
I already tried trackball vol up, vol down, nothing happened
Well that's good then. When you get into HBOOT you should see text flash up on the screen that it's checking for the passimg, then it should as you to use a volume button to say yes/no
If you're getting to hboot and nothing is happening, it's probably an error with your file:
Check the file name.
Check that it isn't a zip within a zip.
Make sure you used a shipped image.
Check the md5.
Try with FRG33, I've used it in the past and its worked fine. Also as danger-rat said, make sure it isn't named PASSIMG.zip.zip as Windows usually hides file extensions.

thx, it worked.
But now i can't flash any custom roms, because when i do that it goes into bootloop again and i have to do the PASSIMG method all over again. Can someone help me with that?
Have you rooted?

I figured out what was the problem. When i partition my sd card and install a Custom Rom it goes into the bootloop. But when i just install a custom rom it works fine. Never heard of this bug before. How can i fix it?
How are you partitioning?

Well, i tryed using clockwork with a 1024mb EXT, 512mb ad a 5120mb with 32mb of swap. All of them caused the bootloop.
Try no swap.
Also, I would recommend not using CWM 3.x (if u r?)
I was running a custom droidthorey rom and wanted to go back to stock. So I went into my recovery via cwm and wiped data, cache and divik. the went into restore and fl;ashed back to an earlier point. Everything was going fine untill I rebooted. Now I cant get away from the dual core boot up screen. Ive tried to hold the volume rockers and power button and go into my recovery from there but i guess theres nothing there cuz I wiped data. Im at work so theres not a lot I can do but I just wanted to see if anyone had an idea on what I need to do from this point.

You're stuck till you get home bro. You have to use FXZ files to get back to stock.

When you are at the triangle with the android, hit both volume buttons to bring up the menu. From there, you can try:
Wiping data/cache again.
Reflashing a ROM by hitting "Install update from SD card"

when I do that it worked but what i flash has to be signed. I have no way to turn off verification. any signed roms out there I can install
wipe data/factory reset is the only option
Ok if you can get into fast boot i think you are ok but you have to use
R3L3AS3DRoot and 43V3R root for the BIONIC v2.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1279825
follow the instructions to get back to stock with or with out root its your choice
im not really sure what these outther guys are talking about but the bootloader is locked you can only flash the stock signed rom from fastboot after that you can install bootstrap or rom manager.. let me know if this works

I cant do anything like flash in my fastboot till I get home. But i can get my android system recovery up, And I do have roms on my sd card. They will not flash though cuz I guess there not signed.
DEAD battery
i had the almost exact thing happen to me,,,, but the battery died and it wont engage charging..... so am i gonna have to get a new on or find some fast way to charge it? i cant even try any of the previous examples :/
I've heard of Verizon charging batteries for people but I've never tried it. There is a USB hack to charge batteries but you also run the risk of destroying your battery in the process. If it was me i would pick up an extra battery and charger, always nice to have.

what are you using to reboot into recovery?
here's the failsafe way to access recovery:
power off the phone, press and hold volume down + power for a few seconds then release to access bootloader menu. press volume down to highlight recovery, then volume up to select it.

strange, are you unlocked and using twrp/cwm or locked and using slapmymoto? if you're unlocked, i'd recommend reflashing twrp/cwm recovery image, sounds like it may be corrupt. if you're locked, i can't help as i haven't messed with any of the locked device stuff.
im on a locked device, used slapmymoto, thanks for trying,can anyone else help?
Why do you need to be in recovery. You should have write protect off already. If you are trying to flash something you can't without safestrap and the zip needs yo be made for safestrap. Just manually move the emails and change the permissions

If the button presses while rebooting to get to where you can select recovery doesn't work... You could try Quick Reboot -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot to reboot into recovery, or open a command prompt on your PC.. and issue the command.. adb reboot bootloader then pick recovery from there.. If those ways also error with that same message you are seeing now, then your phone doesn't has a problem with its recovery partition.
As others have said, if you are rooted with Write Protection disabled (SlapMyMoto v1 thread tells you to run MotoWPNoMo first, to disable write protection, then follow its process), you should be able to go in, rename the old APK, and replace it with the new one (and set the attributes the same) without needing to be in recovery.
Then again, if you rooted with SlapMyMoto .5 (before the MotoWPNoMo was available), or you never did the MotoWPNoMo process that would explain why you want recovery... you're trying to boot to "recovery" so that you can boot with the Write Protection disabled so you can make this change.

That almost didn't work for me, till it did.
I was holding down volume up first, and about half a second to a second later the power button (while not having released volume up button). That didn't work.
I pressed both buttons exactly together, and it worked.
I use this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-flash-custom-t2839690
But I cant find recovery.img on my phone and I use another recovery. Now I want to go in Recovery Mode but I have only LG logo and in left up corner is:
[490] fastboot_int()
[590] USB init ept @ 0xffdc000
[610] udc_start()
Besides when I restart phone, my phone turn on normally. I think that the fault of a bad file recovery.img. Someone can send me recovery.img on D-405N? Or help me with this problem? Best Regard, Damian.

Ok It's done, thank you. But i have another problem... I put on my SD card ROM but Team Win Recovery Procjet doesn't see zip file. Why? SD card must be in Ext2?
sd card should be in fat32
make sure you are looking into right directory, in twrp you can choose between internal and external sdcard. if you cant see it on external memory try putting it into internal.
I have another problem... -.- I install ROM but when i turn on phone is LG logo, T-mobile logo and I wait and nothing. Someone can help me?!

and this how you can get into recovery, its from that thread for unlocking bootloader etc
HOW TO BOOT INTO RECOVERY PRESSING VOLUME AND POWER KEY
You can reboot to recovery via flashify app or following key combination: -
Power of your phone press both Volume Down + Power Button same time, As soon as the LG logo appears release both buttons and immediately press and hold same buttons (Volume Down+Power) again. Now Factory data reset screen will appear saying "Erase all user data & restore default settings?". Use volume down key to select "Yes" and press power button to confirm and now you should be in recovery.

Before you've flashed the rom, you must have checked your "fastboot getvar all" right? Post everything you remember from it (Version-main, cid, mid, hboot version, s-on/s-off).

A factory reset will only wipe the /data partition where user data is stored, it will not restore your phone from a bad flash. Without the possibility to access bootloader and without any information about your phone nor the rom you've flashed, I can't really help. Try all the usual tricks to get in bootloader mode and if you can access it there might be something to do.

Here, had a same problem with m8... What I used to do, (while it was stuck in the boot), was press volume up and the Power button. it would switched off (as a restart), and in that short period, I would release vol up and switched to Vol down button (witht the power button still pressed) to enter recovery.
not sure for m7 though, but I hope this helps...
