Nexus one stuck on boot screen after clearing storage

I was about to buy my friends N1, after he cleared the data, it is now stuck on boot screen, he has sent this to me to try to fix since he is not a technical person at all, but I am also dumbfounded by it.
here is what happened:
1.) He went to settings and clicked restore to factory defaults
2.) It rebooted and got stuck to this.

He send unit to me just now.
1.) Removed bat to turn off since power button no longer works to shut phone off
2.) Pressed POWER+Vol Down to enter Menu
3.) Selected Clear Storage
4.) asked to confirm, so I did, it said it will reboot in 5 seconds, so it did and still stuck with this screen.
Alternatively,
I chose recovery, then wiped everything, reboot still the same.
Tried downloading multiple roms, renamed to update.zip, but it will give me an error in recover mode, not signed.
This N1 is unlocked.
Now, I want to follow the instructions here but I am wondering if it is worth it or I will just return the n1. Certainly a bad sign having seconds thoughts on moving to Android
How To: Load a Custom ROM on the Nexus One (Updated 1.11.10) | TheUnlockr

Had the same issue
Had *exactly* the same issue a few weeks ago and tried dozens of different options but eventually gave up. I sent it back to HTC for repair and it came back in two days *with a new screen* (which I didn't ask for). The screen replacement cured the screen alignment/keyboard offset issue that I was getting multiple times a day. So I was happy Excellent service from HTC!

I had a similar problem. Reflashing the recovery image, then reflashing the ROM fixed it for me.
Try pushing over Clockwork recovery, or at least reflashing Amon_RA's recovery image. If you stick with Amon's, upgrade to 1.7.0.1 while you're at it.
The reason to try Clockwork, though, is that it allows you to disable signature checks. Plus, ROM manager integration is awesome. It saves time if you flash a lot!

FIRST, try renaming the zip file just "update". NO .zip or quotes. Sometimes the PC OS adds an extra .zip.

Gave up on it too, sent it back to HK yesterday, hopefully, they will replace it too. Thanks everyone!

I would have flashed the stock factory image on to it. That's different from flashing a zip, in that the image copies the sector bit by bit, so if there is any kind of bug, it gets overwritten.

I assumed that would have worked for me too, but it didn't. Had to send it back....

I would have flashed boot, system and userdata, it was in the recovery so it wasnt bricked...
ah well

Update your recovery first.

[Q] Bricked phone converting EXT4 to RFS

Hi guys,
I have bricked my phone and would love to know if anyone has a solution to unbrick it. Love the SII but didn't anticipate upgrading just yet.
I have had a custom JVT ROM running on my phone, with EXT4 enabled, and decided to revert back to stock. So I went to the EXT4 app installed on the rom and clicked convert to RFS. The phone booted into recovery where it did it's thing, and then tried to reboot, but froze on the boot image for about 20 minutes. I rebooted it, but it did the same thing. I went into recovery to try to disable the lagfix there, but it wouldn't allow me to. I tried to wipe everything but said it couldn't mount /sdcard. I then tried to flash stock JVT with Odin, and it was not able to set partition, and from this point on I have only been able to get to download mode, both recovery mode and booting lead me to the phone and computer with broken cable screen. I've since tried flashing roms and kernels on my phone but it always freezes / fails.
If anyone has any idea what has happened, and how i can fix it, please let me know. Otherwise I guess I had better start saving.
Cheers, Robbo

Did you try to re-flash stock JVT with Odin and using a pit file? It seems that the lag fix wasn't disabled on your phone. My understanding is that if you re-flash stock JVT with Odin, with re-partition, that should remove the lagfix...

Yeah i tried that.. Over and over again. Nothing I did was working, and then finally, randomly, rather than freezing on set partition or downright failing, it decided it would proceed with flashing and is now working!! so moral of the story - just keep trying i guess. Wooo! Case closed.

Your sd card maybe damaged.

[Q] Phone stuck and Recovery Mode error

Hi,
When I bought the phone, the phone came rooted and it had something like CF-ROOT in the *about* of my phone. The phone did not come with a SD-CARD. The guy who sold me the phone reformatted the phone before giving it to me. When I tried reformatting the phone with "factory reset" from normal settings, it wouldnt reformat it for some reason. I went into recovery mode and when I did wipe-data/factory reset and wipe cache, a failed message would appear.
So I downloaded CyanogenMod 7 and flashed it going into recovery mode, there was a CWM title in the screen of recovery mode.
I hit install ZIP from SD Card. Then the phone boot, then I saw the Samsung Logo and the CyanogenMod on the screen and kept on rebooting over and over again in the Samsung Logo.
So someone told me to use Odin3. I flashed the latest firmware for my i9000 found on Samfirmware.com. Everything installed good and the phone did a reboot. Then went into recovery mode (and I did not see CWM title on screen anymore). It started installing something and then a error message trying to wiping cache appeared.
So I decided to reboot it again. but this time it stays on the Samsung Galaxy S screen and gets stuck there.
Then I used Odin3 to flash the Kernel Semaphore, but still no luck. My phone is still in the Samsung Logo screen. It doesn't reboot anymore but it gets stuck in the samsung logo now.
Here is what I see when I get into recovery mode:

i tried to install cm7 and it kept rebooting. i removed the sd card and and everything continued normally

Come to download mode and flash new stock firmware, through odin, does this happens !!!

Clean install stock first
Use this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913
Download 2.3.5 version,
use odin to wipe phone, and install firmware using PDA, PHONE AND CSC files(with md5 extensions).
The detailed tutorial is mentioned in the post....
This will make the phone go back to stock 2.3.5 firmware...
If you want to use this, u dont need to do anything else,but if you need to root again, and load another custom rom, you will need to load clockworkmod.....and load another rom....
My suggestion: lets do the flash to go back to stock, we will carry on from there later....first see if the phone you've bought actually works or not....

I had the same issue, i just flashed a stock rom with ODIN with re-partitionned ticked and "PDA", "CODE", "PHONE", and "CSC" files.
It fixes the problem and then i could flash a custom rom

Hi,
I can't say that I have a solution for you, or even that I'm right. But the first thing that popped into my head is that you Flashed something (Root?) when the BootLoader is still Locked.
That, or something won't work with the version of BootLoader that's on your device. For example, not every ROM available for a phone, will work with every version of BootLoader that could be on that phone and so to install "X" ROM, you have to (first unlock it) change to "Y" BootLoader.
I updated to MM and hated it. But in order to go back to KK, I had to fool my phone into thinking it's a T2 first.

Had a family member come to me with this issue. Assuming you have custom recovery go here and flash this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133/post63615067
That will allow you to boot and use phone. If you want root afterwards then re flash SuperSu (systemless version if on stock kernel).

PIT File for Note 5 SM-N920I bought from Singapore

I have a Note 5 I want to repartition.
Why? Long story short, the screen is broken (no image, no touchscreen) and I wanted to flash a custom rom with ADB enabled by default so I can erase my data and maybe still get some use out of the phone. While flashing some custom ROMs, the phone started to boot loop.
Tried flashing the stock ROM, which previously worked, but now it still boot loops. At least I think it boot loops. When I attempt to start it, the LED starts glowing blue and fading to turquoise and back. After some time, the two capacitive buttons light up briefly and then everything goes dark. A few seconds later, the LED lights blue/turquoise and the whole thing just goes on and on. Left it like this for a whole night and came back to the same "loop" in the morning.
After searching online and on this forum, the suggestion to flash a pit file came up. Tried scouring the internet high and low but could only find one pit file and it wasn't for my specific phone model. Tried flashing it anyway and I done f`ed up. Now I can only boot into recovery or download mode. Flashed TWRP and tried checking the damage and there seems to be no user data partition anymore.
Where can I get a good PIT file for my phone? All the links I find on the internet are dead or behind a paywall which I am not willing to pay for since I don't know if they're actually any good.
Some forums say that the firmware files contain the PIT. Well, that may be true of the "NEW model", as they're referred to in Odin, where you had a BL, AP, CP and CSC file, but the firmware files for my N920I is just a single tar.md5 file, i.e. the "OLD model".
