Nexus one not booting into recovery mode

Hi,
After trying to fix the problem of the phone not recognizing the sdcard, I rebooted my N1 and sadly it didn't boot. I was stuck at the X icon forever. I then tried to boot into recovery mode but it was tuck again. Is my phone bricked? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Sorry, I fixed the recovery mode issue by following this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1097922.html. However, it still doesn't boot. Since the phone doesn't recognize the sdcard (I haven't solved it yet), I can't flash new rom. Any idea about how to flash new rom without sdcard?
Br,

Given you can use fastboot from your computer:
fastboot -w (to wipe phone)
fastboot update </path/to/your/rom.zip>
Pretty sure thats all you need to do.

Thanks. I finally solved sdcard issue with help from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-636651.html (not regconize sdcard). Once sdcard is ready, reflashing the rom is simple.

[Q] Nexus Q Recovery and Cyanogen Help

So, I got my Q unlocked, etc.
I am trying to boot into recovery mode, after I installed it via fastboot.
Every time I try and boot into recovery, CMD just sits there with "waiting on device" and never goes further.
Any ideas on what I should do?

when you boot into recovery does the q flash? when you spin it do you get google colors?
I have this sneaking that the q will automatically flash stock recovery back somehow. so the only way to really boot into recovery is "fastboot boot recovery.img"

I spent the better part of 5 hours fighting with it.
Something I learned, is that after flashing the recovery onto the q, restart the q and whatever shell you are using and go through the process of putting it into bootloader mode and then tell fastboot to boot into recovery. Every time I tried to boot into recovery after flashing it, it would never give me a screen.
Now I just need to get an otg cable so I can actually navigate...

Are you saying:
flash recovery
restart the q
restart again into bootloader
then fastbboot into recovery

[Q] Nexus 7 gets stuck booting. Tried reflashing stock OS multiple times.

I seem to have got myself into a bit of a pickle here.
I had a rooted N7 on 4.2.2. Tried to unroot (in lieu of going up to 4.3). Disaster struck! It wouldn't boot. It would just get stuck at the bootloader and go "Booting failed" or something similar.
So bother, I could get into the bootloader. So I tried to fastboot flash a stock image using this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796) guide.
I got a bit further now, it would get the X loading screen but then no amount of waiting would have it boot.
So I tried factory reset from the recovery menu (the one with the Android and the red triangle).
No good, still did the same thing.
So I tried using Nexus Root Toolkit to flash stock + unroot from a soft-bricked/bootloop state. Nope! No good. Still does the same thing.
I've been through every combination of flashing, clearing, resetting but to no avail!
I've tried flashing CWM and TWRP but when I try to get into recovery mode, I just get the Google logo forever. This is a nightmare!
What's going on Have I managed to brick this thing...

Hey,
did you try doing all these manually :
Code:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image.zip
PS : Edit these according to images you are trying to flash.
You mentioned you tried the guide but try this once again.
Unlock your bootloader / keep your bootloader unlocked while doing this.
If you want to you can even try running the .bat files and / or .sh files while in the bootloader.
If it still doesnt work , download the latest custom recovery and just try flashing it through
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Please mention the errors you have a bit more in detail during these steps !

Okay, I've managed to get TWRP up and running.
Now... how do I get a ROM onto there to try to flash? >_<
PS. I did all those commands manually many many times. It's got to a stage now where the X logo never actually comes up... Just the Google logo and the little padlock

Amazing. I actually managed to flash a copy of Cyanogen on there and it all booted perfectly.
Now I wonder if I can get it back to stock from here easily..
Thanks

You can ... just make sure you have downloaded the right factory images and flash the use the .bat / .sh to flash the images .. keep in mind that you will lose all your data including that on the internal sd. All the best

So I tried to reflash a stock image... same issue again! Just freezing at the Google logo screen :/
Properly stumped as to why it's doing that. Maybe I'm stuck with Cyanogen...

So close...
Downloaded the new SDKs from Google and managed to actually flash and get into a stock version of Android... but it's constantly saying "Google keyboard has stopped working! Launcher has stopped working! etc" and it's practically useless
Gaaaaaaaaah

Okay my solution to this:
Just keep flashing it with the flash-all.bat command until it just... worked.
Must've done it about 15 times.
Well that's that ordeal over.

ATT D800 Fastboot Loop No Recovery No Download Mode

Hello All,
I've been searching for hours. I had rooted my LG G2 weeks ago with no problems. I then un-rooted it and I thought reset it to factory. Today in Target I pulled it out of my pocket to make a call and it was black screened to Fastboot.
I have tried holding down Volume - and Power and entering recovery to reset to factory but it immediately goes to Fastboot loop.
I have tried holding down Volume + while plugging in USB for Download Mode but it immediately goes to Fastboot loop.
I have tried adb commands, error: device not found.
I have tried manually updating the Android drivers through Computer Management and selecting many of the Android Platform Sooner versions. My Win7 PC recognizes the phone as ADB Interface > Andriod Sooner Single ADB Interface in Device Manager.
I have tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477595 and flashed both laf.img and I cannot get into Download Mode.
What else can I do? Does anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks for your time!

hey same exact thing just happened to me. i had it rooted from earlier, but ended up keeping the stock rom on my AT&T LG G2 D800. What I think happened was ATT just pushed out an OTA update (not sure about other carriers), supposedly some small 15mb update to prepare for upcoming releases and despite declining the install, the phone of course did it anyways.
No recovery, no download mode, factory reset doesn't do anything.
Thanks AT&T! :good:
Are we completely boned here?

This worked for me

Follow this thread, I tried the TWRP terminal code and it worked. Let me know how it goes

Did anyone figure this out? I am stuck in fastboot mode. I can run fastboot commands, but thats about it.
I can't get to ADB, I can't get to recovery, I can't get to download mode. I reboot the phone and it goes immediately back to fastboot.
I've tried flashing recovery, the laf.img, and even rom's inside fastboot and nothing is seeming to work.

If you can't get adb access with either single sooner or pdanet drivers, you may have to resort to this..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
(actually kind of sounds like fun to me)

if you're stuck in fastboot mode then you can simply use the fastboot commands to write the aboot, sbl1, boot, recovery, laf, rpm, tz and dbi partitions.
you can substitute stock recovery.img for a properly patched twrp/cwm img (renamed recovery). from there you should be able to boot into download mode... custom recovery.. or boot back up.

I found a site that had the backed up D800 .img files. I had to use Ubuntu to write them back to my device.. after like 15hrs of googling/writing on forums, I finally got my device to boot back up! lol..
of course there was a popup saying that my device was suspected of rooting and it won't update.. but who cares, it works now!

im onthe verizon variant and stuff like this just annoys me to no end you say no lg pushes it to your device anyway its wrong not even samsung stoops this low i am glad i have a custom rom

Hi... You can't use adb commands while in bootloader... Only fastboot commands. Use the volume rocker till you see recovery mode displayed and press power button. If it still bootloop, try formatting cache and data with fastboot in bootloader and reboot in recovery again. If it still bootloop. Finally try fastboot flash a stock Google image. If none of these steps work, your phone is probably dead and you'll have to try to RMA your N6P.

Fastboot flash-all.sh is for Mac computers so presumably you have a Mac. Flash-all.bat is for windows. You need to unzip the Google image and move everything into the same folder where you have the fastboot program. Just open a command prompt window inside that folder and type the command. That's how I do it in Windows. Presumably the process is similar with a Mac. You will still have a zipped archive after you unzip the Google image but you want to leave that one as is. So far flashing flash-all.bat has gotten me out of every boot loop I've gotten into on my 6P but my phone never spontaneously bootlooped. I was always doing something (updating a rom, trying to restore a nandroid backup) that resulted in a bootloop. The fact that your phone boot looped without warning is probably a bad sign. If you still have warranty I would try to flash stock and see if you can RMA phone. If that isn't possible you might want to try staying on stock or using a different rom and seeing if the random reboots still occur. Good luck.

Well that really sucks. Sorry for your loss but it is a long running phone failure problem. I'm on my second 6P because this. Even worse to me is the fact your were running almost the exact same setup I am now. I refrained from running 7.x.x to try and minimize my chances of another BLOD so now w4on knows what to do. Lol
