Bricked my Nexus One, Please Help

I was using MIUI NX A2SD version 1.8.5
Wanted to try the New version MIUI NX 1.9.x
So i Formated the SD using the "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition" as 1gb EXT3 and Rest as FAT
Now i wen i reboot my mobile it doesnt BOOT IN.
It doesnt even boot into the recovery in theOOTLOADER .
Please help.
I DONT THINK I HAVE THE CLOCKWORK or AMON installed ... wat to do ?

If you have unlocked bootloader - just install the recovery through fastboot and reinstall any ROM you want.
If you don't have unlocked bootloader - you can either unlock it, or try to restore your Nexus using PASSIMG method and then root it without unlocking. If PASSIMG won't work - then you'll have to unlock the bootloader.
All the relevant guides are in the Wiki. Link in my signature.

I will try the PASSIMG method ...
I have flashed my mobile many times with many OS till now BLINDLY.
I always had either CLOCKWORK or AMON recovery installed. But after ther recent MIUI install i didnt install any RECOVERY.
So i am not able to get the RECOVERY options.

Recovery isn't connected to ROM in any way, and if you had the recovery installed before installing the ROM - you still have it. Boot to bootloader, choose "Recovery", press power button to select.

Download FRG83 ROM from here. FRG33 ROM from here can also be used, but might result in "Main version is older" error.
Rename the downloaded ZIP file to PASSIMG.ZIP.
Transfer the provided PASSIMG.ZIP file to the root of your SD card.
Power down your phone.
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 minutes.
The phone will ask you if you want to start the update. Press the Volume Up button to start the update.
If you followed these steps correctly - congratulations, you are now on stock Froyo ROM.

When i click RECOVERY it does nothing.
ANy ways thank you very much for directing me UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER.
I followed the above posted link and NOW i can boot in. Thank you very much

As soon as I unlocked the Bootloader i was able to boot the mobile.
It is all new MIUI OS. all the data is gone.
Now i put a new MIUI rom ZIP file on SD and try to enter the RECOVERY menu but i cant.
Wat do i need to do to access the Recovery options ?

Make sure that there isn't a zip contained within a zip.
Anyway, the easiest way to get recovery back on your phone if you are back up and running with MIUI would be to install ROM Manager from the market and using it to flash your recovery.

Ok now the problm seems to be with SD card.
Now that i have booted into MIUI, i see that it is not detecting the SD card.
Installed Rom manager from market. It wants SD card to be accessed.
The SD card is working fine n my system. I might have formated it the wrong formats or something with the tool "MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition"
Please let me know the exact format parameters.
I am formating as FAT32 - LOGICAL and another ext3 - LOGICAL

I would just recommend partitioning the card through recovery. Recovery will partition it the way it needs to be done. Just back up anything that is currently on the card.

You can't "click Recovery".
When you're in bootloader menu, you need to select the RECOVERY option using VOLUME UP/DOWN buttons, and press POWER button to select the option. If you can't - it means you're not doing it correctly.
The Wiki has section "Recovery", look at it and if you happen to have no recovery - flash a new one using the guide for unlocked bootloader there.

[SOLVED]Bootloop

Hi,
In my HTC One i've recentely obtained root permissions with this tool.
Then i've installed the Xposed Framework and the Modaco ToolKit.
No problem still now.
Later I've installed the Advanced Power Menu with Reboot Options v4
Can't boot the phone. (See attachment for a screen)
Any ideas?

i had same problem.
1-) Install clockworkmod with on-the-go support
2-) if you have on the go cable( if you dont have it then you cannot use this method), download a rom and copy to a usb flash disk.
3-) plug it to your phone with usb flash disk attached.
4-) boot into recovery
5-) select install zip from sd card, then select install from external sd card ( you have to wait about 30 seconds to phone identify your usb stick)
6-) flash your rom and enjoy!
it worked for me on ARHD 4.2...

No,
ok accessed to bootloader/recovery, there is a way to restore the stock rom?

yes of course you can find the stock rom, but you wiil lose root and may lose your recovery
so you have to do it from scratch... i recommend flashing a custom rom.

deleted everything using CWM now what?

Hi, so as the title states, I've deleted everything off of my z1 because I was trying to rid some files which are undeliverable!
I formatted my system files using Cwm Recovery now I have no way of getting my phone back even no them crappy files are still there lol.
Problem is that I have no way of getting to a computer. And I got rid of mine as it was on finance.
All I have is my phone with cwm recovery installed, a Rom and a zip kernel I think. No backups nothing.
Also I have use of a kindle fire and ps3 if helpful. And another z1 uprooted which is my missiles which can download files and transfer using my ad card but she doesn't want hers broken haha.
Anybody think they can help relive my phone for me?
Thanks

Download a Rom compatible to your phone to the sd card using the other phone, pop it in, boot to recovery, flash zip, restart, boom all set
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

Which rom and kernel would you advise me to go for considering I do not have access to a computer so no flash tool available.
I used to have just stock stuff. I tried ihackers but can't even use that!
I'm on 4.3
And that firmware that's ends in .290. Can't remember the rest.
The rom and kernel I have on my device isn't compatible I don't think, that's why it didn't work wen I tried

I would go as simple as possible untill you get it to boot. If you have .290 stock kernel with recovery I would try one of [NUT]'s roms. Find your model here and down load the .290 flashable version and try that http://nut.xperia-files.com/
A Z1 user may have another idea?

When you get your phone back on you could try a megawipe.zip which I used to use on the Galaxy S3, no idea if it's still supported or if it'll work on the Z1, but I can't see any reason why not, bare in mind it'll delete everything on your internal memory so get ready to sideload, push or get another rom on there afterwards, if youre able to install from an SD card then do it that way (the rom i mean, megawipe has to be on the internal)
Those files youre referring to will not be there when megawipe has finished.

Okay.. i did everything.. i re-flashed supersu, booted, re-booted and said no to rootfix.. Usb debugging on , and supersu apk setting checked and there is head user allowed..
I tried to make back up again but it did not work.
CWM starts to make back up but on the end it said can´t mount it... if i check my SD card there is back up folder and i think that there is also back up file (size1,95G).
I tried to restore but CWM saids something MD5 file failed...

Use an older version of Odin. I'm using 3.04 everyday. Yes you need a custom recovery.

Did you install Chainfire Root before trying to install TWRP. I have a short Odin video on YouTube I made for another member that you can check out. See if it helps you
http://youtu.be/hMOsw0RDeSQ
Remember that this was for a specific member and rom he was installing as far as the Firekat files. The Odin, chain root, and twrp will work for your needs. You might want to update the twrp to 2.8.4.
2.8.1 works fine for me so that what I have installed

make sure your file is a tar file and not an image, if it is good then I would try a different version of Odin as mentioned before. If still no luck I would definitely try a different file location to get the Download or a different version of TWRP. I have files that I know work if you need.
Hope we helped

Also when your loading in the pda slot it takes a minute to populate in the slot sometimes 60 seconds....

That is normal. Sometimes when loading firmware it takes up to 3 minutes or so for the md5 check to be done. Usually root and recovery aren't quite as long but still can take a min.

To answer this question, are you planning on flashing ROMs? If not, I wouldn't worry about TWRP. Some people just like to ROOT and be on their way.

Yeah I realized that when I loaded the chainfire file in odin. But after waiting 10 minutes for the recovery file , I figured something was wrong. If you can provide me with the recovery link that would be great. Its for the note 4 t mobile.

Make sure that after it reboots you turn off your device. Hold volume up, power and the home button at the same time and go into recovery mode and back your device up. Leave what is x'ed off as is but I also back up the modem. Change the location of the back up to be saved to your SD card. Factory wipe, the advanced, checking off dalvik, system, data and cache. DO NOT WIPE INTERNAL or SD card. Reboot your phone. Let it sit for 5 min on the welcome screen then enjoy
