I think I bricked my nexus (my fault) please help!

Hello all,
I think I may have bricked my nexus one. It is completely my fault for attempting things that I knew little about, so flame away But after the flaming, if anyone is willing to help I would be sooooo thankfull...
I successfully rooted my phone following the instructions on this page: (all links edited with a double asterisk as I don't believe I can post links)
h**p://theunlockr.com/2010/01/02/how-to-root-the-nexus-one/
Then successfully installed cyanogenmod (which is awesome!) following this page:
h**p://theunlockr.com/2010/01/08/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-nexus-one/
All was well, I even got the modaco desire rom up and running, and was happily switching back and forth using the recovery screen. I had nand backups for specific setups, etc.
Then I decided it would be good to know how to go back to stock, and found this page:
h**p://**w.androidspin.com/2010/05/06/guide-unrooting-your-nexus-one-its-like-it-never-happened-almost/
I followed the instructions to the letter (I think) except for erasing userdata (it said "failed: remote not allowed"). I thought that things would be ok, since I'd recently wiped, so I followed the page till the end.
The phone rebooted, and I got the original nexus boot animation - but it's in an endless loop! What's worse, it that now when I try to go to the bootloader or recovery mode, I get the exclamation triangle with the little android.
Is there any way through a command prompt (or other method) that I can fix this? I tried to re-flash the RA recovery image through the command prompt, but the response was, "waiting for device."
ANYTHING that anyone can suggest to help, I would be so thankful! I've been loving the nexus, and hate to think that I crippled it
Thanks in advance,
Randy

I doubt its bricked.
Noticed you didnt mention that fast boot doesnt work? (power button+trackball) try it.
Once you get to fastboot you can flash any ROM back. (fastboot flash **** commands from a command shell)

Did you ever perform a Nand Backup from Recovery?

It's not bricked, the only way to brick is to interrupt power when flashing a Radio image

Connect phone to PC. Open command prompt.
adb reboot recovery
Wipe, reflash.

So far, nobody has managed to brick a Nexus. There is no way as the fastboot mode can restore the whole phone and can't be messed with. Make sure you have the latest version of the SDK with correct USB drivers and fastboot. Then try and reflash the recovery image.

It worked!!!!!
It worked!!
britoso, thank you soooooo much! The only way that I knew to get into bootloader/recovery was via power button/volume down, but power/trackball brought up the bootloader screen, and I clicked on fastboot. I was able to flash the RA recover image through the command terminal via fastboot, then able to get into recovery. I had cyan and modaco sense on the sd, and was able to flash one of them on.
​
I never thought I'd be so happy to see "quietly brilliant"!!! I WILL buy you a beer, a case in fact as soon as money clears my paypal account.
I have learned my lesson, research research research. (I did do some, but not enough to feel comfortable with what I was doing - hence my cry for help!)
Other than the phone and OS itself, the thing I like most about the nexus is the fact that one CAN root, and then customize (sold a Telus moto droid because I could not do that very thing).
I digress... thanks again so much!
And Paul, thanks for your sense ROM; I've had HTC phones from the Touch to the the diamond to the Hero, and missed the UI!

Glad to hear it. You learn the most by trial and error.

I think i got the same problem. i tried to Unlock Bootloader and Root Google Nexus One which was successful but then i tried to superboot it and when it came to the part where you "double click the ‘install-superboot-windows.bat’ file" i clicked it but it did not go to the nnext screen where the superboot completes it just stayed at the "bootloader screen". i must hve not done something or done something wrong i dont know.
So then i unplugged the phone from the pc and rebooted it. when it reeboted i wasnt getting any network, the phone was slow and the notification bar would not slide down...also i noticed the phone restarting on itself...
/i tried all kinds of "restore to factory settings" but not solved. Can anyone tell me what to do tht will work. I coud not understand what was said in the above thread as i am new to this android n my first time rooting n stuff n i believe that solution would work for me too..if some one could please explain in simple tirms the steps i need to take would be good...
Really appreciate it....

Tell me what i need to download again and how to go about it...i really need my phone working again ((((

Major Brick!!

Hi all!
Seriously in need of some expert help from your kind selves. Basically my phone is rooted with custom roms. I'm needing to try to get it back to normal as it has developed a hardware fault in the way that the volume key doesn't work, more so the down volume. Sometimes the up volume works when it feels like it. The camera itself has also been playing up and not working at times (not sure if this would be hardware related). As you can guess I'm wanting to get the phone repaired under warranty. The major headache comes when I need to get into the bootloader and I can't with the down button not working. Earlier I flashed a different kernel and when the phone went to reboot all hell broke loose. I'm currently stuck on the white screen with HTC logo. So without getting into the bootloader to try to recover I'm in serious bother! I tried this link and followed all the steps but in the end it just kept giving me an unknown error message
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890
I'm just trying to get the phone back up and running and then will take it from there to return it back to stock if possible. One thing I didn't try was the fact I have a 1.84 rom on and tried to flash with 1.72. May well try a 1.84 later on when I get the chance.
I hope you basically understand what I've done and what I'm trying to achieve and the problems I've got.
Thanks in advance if you can provide any solutions or ideas to try.

oooo boi thats gota hurt... but dont worry.. download "quickboot" from the market with it u can go to bootloader and cmw recovery .. about the rest.. i didnt get it.. u have 1.72 stock ruu and u want to get 1.84 ? why not just use 1.32 old rom and send it back repair guys ?

Find the downgrade thread in the Dev section, download the PD98IMG.zip from that thread. Put that on your SDcard.
Now you want to boot into bootloader which maybe difficult given your button predicament. I am sure there must be a fastboot/adb command to do this, possibly
fastboot reboot-bootloader
The bootloader should read and flash the PD98IMG.zip automatically, returning you to stock.

Hi mate. I had same problem my volume buttons don't work at all but i managed to flash latest recovery witch let's you scroll with home button don't no if this helps but try it

Thanks guys for trying to help. Leatherface I'm stuck on the white boot screen with htc logo and it won't go any further so can't get into market to download any apps. Or is the program you're talking about available for pc? I have custom roms on and not stock but want to put stock back on to send in for repair.
AndyHarney I will try your advice later but obviously as soon as I turn phone on it goes straight to the boot screen so I really can't see how I could get into the bootloader any other way but I may be wrong. Hopefully I am!!
Biggy I did flash with the latest CWM right before it went beserk but still no way of getting into bootloader.
I'm off for an Easter drink now to take my mind off it coz it's stressing me out and will return soon to butcher my phone a little more lol
Happy Easter

Of course, to use fastboot you need to be in fastboot in the bootloader.
Using the app Leather|Face mentioned, is there an option to boot into bootloader?
Anyways, enjoy your bank holiday.

as long as the rom ur using is not cynogenmod7... ur warranty isnt void my friend
did u try to re-flash a rom ? trying flashing a fresh rom.. full wipe ur phone before.. bellow in atttachment is full wipe.. download it extact it and put "full wipe 1.3" in ur sd card.. and put a rom there too.. then boot into recovery.. 1st do a full wipe.. then flash the rom.. see if that solves ur problem doode..
Edit : aaa crap.. i forgot u cant go into bootloader.. :|
Edit 2 : the guy 2 posts above said that u can use ur home key to navigate thro recovery... maybe u could use it for booting it to boot loader too.. donno lemme try if that can happen
Edit 3 : no that didnt work... btw abt 6 months back... on my samsung galaxy s... volume keys wudnt work so i couldnt get into recovery to get make to stock rom because i was using custom roms... i cudnt do anything and i was still under warrantly. so i perposly bricked ma phone to the extent that no matter wat u do with it, it wudnt switch on.. and i was sent a new one

If you are trying to get into bootloader another way worked for me but maybe not every. Body is to flash a new splash with android flasher then pull cable at correct moment when it boots into fastboot briefly. He'll it works for me LOL

thanks for letting me knw man... i cud use that if nothing else is possible lol

my down volume key does not work either, and i have had difficulty with this.
i have just tried to install a theme, and reboot and it was stuck on white htc screen.
plugged phone into computer, use adb reboot bootloader and load up recovery from there..

I flashed a full wipe zip by mistake and with no volume buttons i thought i was screwed but after two days trying i found i could only go back to stock 132 every thing else would fail?

For anyone who is in this predicament, if you can't or are unwilling to use adb, then if you download and install Droid Explorer, there is the option to boot into bootloader, flash other ROMs and loads more besides.

Nope... u just need. To. Root and eng s off and s off again...then ur back in business

like someone said before, you can access the phone with adb and forget about touching the controls on the actual phone, it can go into bootloader, and from there i guess you can reflash or recover your stock rom
adb is more simple than it sounds, it's just sort of like remote control via the computer

I've tried adb fastboot as suggested but all it says is <waiting for device>. I've tried plugging device in and turning it on both before and after entering this command but the phone just immediately goes to the white HTC screen. Also tried Droid Explorer as suggested but I can't even get that to install as it throws up an error message during install!! I'm not having a good time with this phone at the moment lol

If you downloaded the PD98IMG.zip from the downgrade thread, and download Quick Boot from the market.
Put the zip on your SDcard and use Quick Boot to get to the bootloader. From there is should be an automated process, and your phone will be restored to HTC stock.

I'm unable to get into the market to download anything since the phone doesn't boot

Ok I'm back in business. Just managed to flash a clean rom. Some nice chappy on another thread was also having the exact same problems as me and he managed to sort it out and helped me. The commands are ADB REBOOT RECOVERY or ADB REBOOT-BOOTLOADER. I was typing FASTBOOT REBOOT-BOOTLOADER as mentioned in an earlier post and wasn't getting anywhere.
However I'd like to thank you all for your efforts and now I should be able to return the phone to stock and get it shipped off for repair with peace of mind that they won't whinge that the warranty is null and void.

[Q] A bit of help

So after doing some edits and removing the AT&T bloatware the phone stopped wanting to allow me to add apps. Even though I had 20MB free. My phone now reboots when I put the SD card in.
So I decided to do a factory reset which worked fine but now I'm stuck on the first screen of the android set up. now the screen is just black with the taskbar at the top and the words "setup" right below it but no android icon in the center, and the emergency button is absent on the bottom.
I googled and found out that if you touch the 4 corners in a clockwise pattern this is suppose to bypass the setup and just go straight to your home screen. well this is a no-go.
The phone receives call fine and the screen is responsive when I slide the taskbar down. also when I plug it into my comp the motosuite boots up and works fine as well.
So any suggestions on how to get past this or how I can just reflash the phone?

It sounds like you don't have a launcher...
How to fix... i'm not so sure...
Maybe a forum search?

Can someone hook me up with the launcher for the flipside. I was going to use sideloader wonder machine to reload it. since I do remember deleting it like an idiot.
I've googled he crap out of it with no success. so can someone please hook me up?

Cant you just go to android market on your computer and send a launcher to your phone that way? It automatically installs for you and if you are able to open the notification bar you should then be able to launch it to make it your default. Hope this helps.

The issue is i'm stuck on the very first screen of the phone. you know when you first power one up for the first time and set up gmail and everything else. well mins is stuck on the first screen so i can't get to market to download it.

If it is stuck on the setup it doesn't sound like a launcher problem. I can get the launcher off my phone if you want it but I know after I did a NON SBF update (using android recovery) mine got stuck on the MotoBlur setup and would freeze at 95% or so no matter if it was signing into my old account or creating a new one. I had to do an SBF flash for it to work. Not sure what the problem was but using update.zip looked like it was fine but it screws something up in it.

I'd gladly flash it again, but the snare is I don't have debugging mode on and with that black screen I can't get to it. I even hunted for Hotkeys to get into settings. So any possibility to get the phone into debugging mode without going through settings?

You can follow this guide located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17042497
Flipside Bootloader Mode - Restore with SBF File
To put the Flipside into bootloader mode:
Open the keyboard
Press and hold the up arrow key (to the left of the OK key)
Hold the power button down
Release both buttons after about 4 seconds
You should see a display that says:
Bootloader
91.2B (If you already went to Froyo then this number is going to be like 91.7 I think)
Battery Ok
OK to Program
Connect to USB
Data Cable
This mode is for flashing an sbf file (ROM) to your phone using RSDLite.
RSD Lite version 4.9 works with the Flipside
I have received info from a reliable source that downgrading the Flipside from the not-yet-released Froyo upgrade using the available SBF files will brick your AT&T phone.
I do not have personal knowledge of this, but I trust my source.

Then just download the SBF listed on that post. Let me know if you are confused. I've done this about 3 times now on my phone. I keep screwing around with it and reflashing it.

Thanks, I'll try that again, I've actually already tried that but RS lite doesn't seem to read my phone. but I had that issue before and I know I have to use and older version instead of 4.9. Hopefully it'll work

Thats odd. I know I just bought our phones but they came with 2.1 and it worked just fine with it. I've upped to froyo now but I never had problems. Only had problems doing the update and doing a factory reset. After doing them I needed to do the SBF. Only thing that fixed mine.

Ok I have it fixed now. I tried a few different version of RS lite. and it just wouldn't read the phone even though the phone would read the comp.
Solution: run friggin RS Lite in Compatibility mode with XP SP3. worked fine.
So the phone is up and running again, but for some reason now everytime I put my 16GB sd card in it, the phone will reboot. I'm going to format the card as FAT and see if that solves it.

Cool. Glad you got it working. Now we just need some cyanogenmod love for our phones

[Q] Tmous Defy Green Lens - No stock recovery

I'm usually very resourceful; search, read, and try to resolve my own issues with the many threads online and here on xda but I am at a complete loss at this point and hope one of you can give me some guidance.
I have a Tmobile US Defy. Green Lens. I was able to root and install cwm. It was on Android 2.2.1.
I wanted to make sure everything was ok prior to beginning to flash anything so i downloaded JORDN_U3_6.36.0_SIGNED_USAJRDNTMOB1B4B5DE1028.0R_JORDANTMO_P022_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf
This obviously reverted my Android to 2.1 but upon completely booting it begins to slow to a freeze on my homescreen within a minute or two.Completely freezes. It did not prompt me to enter Blur account and if there isn't a SIM in, it will not allow me to interact with the phone beyond emergency calling. I can't update through OTA since it just locks up.
Thought I'd try to wipe/reset. I'm able to get to the android guy with the exclamation point but pressing vol up/down does not get me into recovery. I've tried many button variations as well.
I'm not sure what I need to do at this point anymore. I can enter bootloader (v9.10) still and use RSD but I'm afraid to flash non US sbf files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I apologize if this has already been covered. I've been searching and reading for the last 6 hours and have no idea what to do next.

If you under 2.1 and you are on the screen with the android guy have you touched the screen above the magnifier.

Much Appreciated

[Q] defy cant get to any bootloader at all

first off im not a noob at this kinda stuff ive rooted tablets and other phones before. so ive spent the past week or so every night for hrs searching around for an answer to my problems.
phone info
carrier:Straight Talk
MN: XT555C
AV:2.3.7
Base band vr: PCR
Kernel vr:Apps_2.6.38.6-perf
Build number:1_67D_1014
OK on to the proses i used:
first rooted phone with VROOT
pic 1(the pic with the Foreign letters)
gained root
pic2 (pic with root checker)
easy enough right
then tried 2int every vr of it witch said they installed just fine
but every time i would try to go in into the boot-loader nothing no blue light no auto boot loader screen just nothing.
so i searched for different kinda boot loaders witch lead me to twrp and only like two more
nothing couldn't get any of them to work on account of the fact that they needed a Boot-loader to install them.
then i decided i would try rsd lite
downloaded sbfs
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordan/list.php
ive tried the first and last one not sure witch one is for my phone
when i hit VOL+ power i get this screen:
pic 3(white screen with blue letters)
and rsd reconised the phone but phone info came up mostly as
N/A and nothing would flash just kept giving me
error:failed flashing process. failed flashing process phone 0000 error sending ram to bootloader
then when i had the phone try to just boot normaly with rsd open i got this screen:
pic 4(black screen with white letters)
all things aside i have gained root but to no avail can i get a Boot-Loader to work. im just looking for some one to help shed some light on this matter and help me get off of Ginger Bread

E:\android\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20131030\sdk\platform-tools>adb shell
$ su
su
# reboot boot-loader
reboot boot-loader
it just reboots normally

any one else have some info?

so i still cant get a bootloader to come up ive been at this for a while and am still stumped i gain root and su but no custom boot loader just the stock one.

Root, install 2ndinit, install CM10, install CM10.2, install update-recovery.zip, REBOOT (without any wipe), install CM11 and GApps.
^
so this is just so people can see where im at in the chain of things here. im at the install 2ndinit

nother update so i desided i needed to push the files from bootmenu.tar.gz onto my system and see if it changed anything(also did the same for twrp and a few vrs of other bootloaders)
so i went and got http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1687590
witch worked well and after i used the program to send the files where they need to be and tryed to reboot into bootmenu the phone still just restarted normally.so now the files are where they need to be adn it should let me into the bootloader but no im at a loss i dont understand how sompthing so simple could turn out to be like this. every one else can get it and ive followed like every set of direction i could find on this site over and over agen then i started experimenting with it and still nothing no matter how the files get there still no bootloader all i want is to be able to install JB and get the hell off of GB. and its not like im getting any help from this post i hope a dev can come by here soon and help me shed some light on things. untill then ill keep updating the post

I don't think the XT555c has a JB or even a ICS ROM. You can debloat GB and stay on it.

ive read thru a few threads other than those also and other people with the same mn and build have done it......
thats from my understanding that they wer able to get a boot-loader to work witch i can not get into a bootloader at all.and RSD wont flash anything to the phone evern tho ive used diffrent vr of rsd and the moto drivers.

so am i to assume that it just cant b done? that i could understand but other people with this phone/67d have done it and ive sent them pms but no reply same with some of the devs here who have helped others get this phone going so i guess im at a loss with this straight talk phone at least with installing a custom boot-loader/ROM.at least the phone works.....just outdated.screw you motorola

just a reply
@jimbob it my feelings that the "USA Moto defy xt555c, Straighttalk" does not have a blue LED built in. There is no evidence of it other than i have never seen one during the last year or so of having the phone (yes i do a lot of bluetooth stuff). Also to shed some light on your situation it is my understanding that 67d firmware has patched an exploit with the older bootloader and now has been upgraded to bl7. if this is your bl ver number then it is slim you will find the answer to your problems here. the only option i can come up with is to get or make fixed sbf for the device and flash/ downgrade. fixing the sbf only lies to the phone and tells it you have a higher ver android than you really do.... go figure motorola would be good at burning bridges! LMAO

thanks for replying. not to sure how to make a fixed sbf and the ones i found would not work because i couldn't get the program to flash anything to the phone. but then agen i never made a custom one
