[Q] Nexus One won't boot

Hi all. I haven't been able to boot my Nexus One for months now. It all started with the random reboot problems that many have reported, but now it won't boot at all. I never rooted it or flashed it with a non-stock Android. It's always run stock OS. If I remember well, the last build installed was FRF91.
I've read dozens of threads, tried hard resetting, Recovery, and the latest thing I tried was a restore with the PASSIMG.zip method explained here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...des_&_Tutorials#Unroot_.2F_Restore_your_Nexus
It does not seem to have gone well, because step [2]Radio_V2 showed error message "Fail-UZ" and [6] System "Fail-PU". Then it got stuck at the screen attached.
I'm starting to think I've got a faulty battery along with a software problem: when I've got a full charge, I can only perform one operation (power on, recovery, hard reset, whatever), and it usually freezes in the middle of it, usually with that three time vibration. Then, I've got to wait a long time before it can even charge and show the charging LED again.
Any help in getting my agonizing Nexus back will be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Am I seeing what I'm seeing?
You have SHIP S-OFF Nexus, which means - no security. And you're still locked???
Unlock your bootloader, and execute "Unroot/restore" guide from Wiki, for unlocked bootloader. Which means - direct flash to partitions using "fastboot flash" command.

Thanks a lot, Jack. I'll give it a try this weekend. I've got my Nexus as a present at an Android event at Mobile World Congress 2010, that might explain unusual factory settings.

Unlock bootloader OK, but still no restore
I unlocked the bootloader, but still couldn't restore with PASSIMG.zip method. It still gives out radio fail, and restoring the system got frozen at "unzipping". After a long while, it vibrated 7 times, but is still frozen there.
Should I try older stock versions for the PASSIMG.zip restore? I'm using FRG33 right now. Hopefully I didn't brick it.
Thanks again in advance. Best.

Read my suggestion above again, please.
I didn't suggest you to use PASSIMG method. I suggested something else.

Got it
I see what I did wrong, thanks for the response again and putting up with a novice. I somehow missed the link to the Fastboot flash method, thought I was doing the right thing. I'll try fastboot when and if my N1 wakes up from one of it's long slumbers. Best

[Q] Can no longer boot into OS

I have an HTC One S (S4) that i've been trying to root and apply a custom ROM to, but i think i might have bricked my phone.
Originally i followed the directions found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2268963
Was able to unlock and it seemed like i flashed the recovery well enough, but i couldn't boot into it.
So i downloaded the All-In-One kit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249074 )
and tried again. I knew nothing about the S-ON and S-OFF, before this, and my phone was definitely S-ON. So i went through the steps in the Kit, where i changed the CID of my phone to 11111111, flashed the One S zip, and tried to boot up. I can't do the 'complete S-Off' section though, because no matter what i do i can never get to the OS.
So i tried another method, and went to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2357624 to just try to restore to a stock backup. it looked like the restore worked correctly, but still the same problem.
So basically right now I can get into bootloader and recovery (tried CWMod Touch and TWRP, neither work better than the other) , but the OS won't load. It just stays on the white 'HTC quietly brilliant' screen indefinitely.
Any ideas? Is this phone just bricked now? I

You're in the wrong forum and using tools for a different phone. You're lucky not to have a complete brick. Head to the One S forums and don't be flashing stuff from over here.

ah, i'm an idiot. I looked for the 'S' but didn't even see it cause i was only looking in 'Top Devices'. Thanks, will try again.

[Q] Can't access Recovery when trying to load twrp

Hi Everyone,
First off I am a total novice and I put my hands up to say I should not have tried to root my phone. I merely wanted to root so that I could actually use the space on my SD card, which the HTC Desire doens't.
I did try to do this manually by reading a few guide and walkthroughs with no success. So then I used the sunshine app to unlock my bootloader and then WinDriod to load TWRP recovery and then hopefully root the phone. It does say ***unloacked*** on the fastboot menu. However, I sort of messed up my phone.
I cannot load into recovery mode - it goes to a HTC load screen then right back to fastboot usb menu.
I cannot factory restore the phone either.
Can anyone advise me how to return my phone to its normal state or advise on how to fix this problem?
Appreciate any help anyone can give me!

Hello,
Since you asked for help with returning the phone to it's normal state I have some questions. Does the phone work normally? Can you make calls, text, and do other things when you simply power your phone on or is the OS deleted? Are you just referring to obtaining stock recovery or do you still want to get TWRP? It sounds like some error happened when you tried to flash TWRP and now you have no recovery. Here is a great guide that shows you how to flash TWRP. You can use that same guide to flash the stock recovery. That channel also has videos with an alternate method to unlock your bootloader and how to root the phone.

My phone works fine, makes calls, texts etc, I just can't boot into recovery. I tried several methods, following online videos etc to no avail, but ill give this one a go this evening. I mentioned returning it to its original state so I could start over with the flashing process as nothing seems to allow me to load into twrp, so i wondered if there was a corrupt file or something preventing me from doing so. The phone's bootloader is unlocked I believe as it says so on the hboot screen.
Thanks for the suggestion, ill let you know how it goes.

The method in that video should work perfect. I doubt there was a corrupt file, but we'll find out soon enough. I have a love/dislike relationship with WinDroid. I love it, because of how easy it is to use and it requires little to no knowledge of what you are actually doing and it is just a beautiful looking program. I dislike the fact that you pretty much learn nothing when you use it, as it does all of the work. Also, if you use the adb drivers it provides and you already have adb drivers, you will receive an error that the adb server is out of date.

Noob here - screwed up my T-Mobile One M9?

Hi XDA community,
I'm scared out of my mind. Tried rooting for the first time ever, but don't actually know what I'm doing. Using various guides I found in these forums, I:
1. Used HTCdev to unlock the bootloader
2. Used ADB to install TWRP 3.0.2-0
3. Used TWRP to install UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76.zip
Once that finished, my phone tried booting up (the white HTC logo) but now it has the red development build text at the bottom.... and then it gets into an infinite boot loop.
I don't know how to fix my phone. Please someone here with guidance, please help.

I've got the same identical issue.
I was able to get out of the boot loop by holding volume up and power, and I got back to download mode. From there, since the SU update I tried to install boot looped me (I was following this tutorial), I jumped ahead and just installed cm13 as I was planning to.
This install went fine, but then I ran into the issue of the rom not recognizing my sim card. I've been researching this problem and I guess I need to update my baseband? I tried for hours but I do not know how to accomplish this, and couldn't figure it out for the life of me. This thread on the cyanongenmod forum seemed to be the closest thing to help I could find, but still it didn't help very much.
So at this point now I'm trying to back out and unroot my phone and get everything back to factory settings; it doesn't feel worth it anymore to me since I've just had trouble every step of the way. I've been trying to follow this post to get back to at least a usable factory rom. But I can't even get this one to install because I cannot access my phone through adb while it's in download mode. Furthermore the instructions are just confusing me because I'm not so versed in the nomenclature of these procedures.
Is there anyone that can help me get back to complete stock t-mobile sense? Or if not, help me get my cm13 rom to recognize my sim card so I can at least have my phone working in some capacity? I'd be tremendously grateful of either. I'm really in over my head here and quite scared I won't be able to figure this out.

Attempting to Factory Reset or Unlock Bootloader Doesn't Go Past Red Triangle

Fido HTC Desire 510 (32 bit). Stock everything, S-On, bootloader locked.
After about a day's worth of searching followed by experimentation and trial and error, I am resorting to creating a new thread. Although the issues I'm facing aren't completely unique, I feel like the combination of issues I'm having makes my situation unique if you can wrap your head around that, which I think justifies a new thread decently enough.
Some while ago, Google Play Services kept stopping every minute seemingly at random. It made navigating the phone near-impossible. I factory reset the phone from Settings to no avail, as the problem actually became worse after the reset. Now the phone simply refuse to go past the HTC splash screen (soft brick), although I still have access to Fastboot and Stock Recovery. Despite having these tools on hand, I can't seem to do anything with them. My first hope was to use an RUU to completely wipe the phone clean, but unfortunately it's a Fido/Rogers variant which doesn't have an accessible RUU posted anywhere. I then tried the Telus and Cricket RUUs, but they didn't work because of mismatching CIDs. For the record, I tried installing the Telus RUU though HBoot as a 0PCVIMG.zip and the Cricket RUU as an .exe program, and neither worked. After these failures, I decided I'd try unlocking the bootloader to install a custom rom or even restore someone else's Nandroid. I also can't do this though, because every time I reach the final step of the HTCDev process, the phone just boots into Recovery mode and goes no further than that. To elaborate, it gets stuck on the red triangle screen where it just sits there and does nothing. This also happens when I try to factory reset the phone from the HBoot menu. For the record, I can still access recovery options and whatnot by holding down volume up and pressing the power button. I've tried factory resetting from the recovery, but I'm still stuck in the same bootloop.
My apologies for the lengthy post, but I felt I needed to be well-detailed in the off-chance someone actually responds to this old forum.
Thanks in advanced.

I got the red triangle after factory reset on my fully-charged 510. Next time I plugged it into the charger, and it got past that step with the green circle thingy. Could it be that easy?
