I have already tried to reset the phone, clear storage, reboot,, and nothing fixes it.

another app2SD thing after flashing a new rom?
well then you know more then me. If you can get into bootloader you should be able to get into recovery mode. You can also toggle USB mode, so you can be connected to your comp. In that case you can push a recovery image.

you can also wipe
etc
its all in that thread or somewhere else on this forum

Any updates? same thing happened to me.
If in doubt then reflash everything again;
boot
system
and recovery
and start afresh.
see thats the thing,, i can click recovery from the bootloader screen and nothing happens. It will restart and just sit on the same "X" screen. Its very simple to put a phone into a DFU mode or recovery mode for Iphones,Motorolas,blackberry,nokia,samsung,Lg, and a few more i cant think of at the moment. When these phones become corrupt ive learned how to whatever firmware or software i want on dumb thing.. But this HTC is giving me a hard time and i know its something simple.. Most phones have a desktop software that will allow you to mess with phones programming, Itune-iphone/Blackberry-BB desktop Manager/motorola-RSD lite....ect. BUt i cannot find anything really for the HTC or just this N1. A lot of these programs for other brands, once you plug your phone in, will notice that the phone is in a recovery state and offer to do an update or a restore. Now why doesnt the N1 or do they, does google offer something like evryone else does?

hmmm I understand your frustration. What did you do before it got to the 'X' splash screen?
I'm assumimg you've tried to reflash a different ROM in recovery mode?

The SDK can do that
like the others said, try get into recovery and reflash everything
SDK? i just turned the phone on and its stuck on the "Splash" screen just a big ol "X". I press volume down and power and pull up the bootloader menus.. i scroll down to recovery and press enter. and it reboots and stays at the damn "x" screen again. I've chosen everyone of the options it offers in that menu and nothing changes.. You know how when u first open that menu it will scan the SD card? Well it shows up for a second then goes away, and in the split second the green lettering is on the screen i swear it says "no splash image" or something like that. UHHHHhhhg!
Hmm I forgot how to get to get to recovery using physical buttons, sth like: power + trackball, or volume down + trackball i guess, so try that
So it looks like your phone is not rooted and you don't have Amon_Ra recovery maybe you have not even turned on USB debugger? tough luck friend
All is not lost if you can get into fastboot mode trackball and power together then using adb reflash boot,system and recovery images.
Or call Customer Service and trade in for a new Nexus One
if not you have to download the SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
find stock images and reflash like the above post said

agreed....if you haven't "unlocked" the bootloader then i wouldn't bother with any of the suggestions....Call customer care and get a new one before you un-lock it and this mysteriously happens again...THEN, you'll be S-O-L!!
EDIT: Then with the new one, follow all the threads for un-locking, flashing recovery, nand,flash cyan, flash gapps LALALA
DOUBLE EDIT: Althought it sounds all you've done is messed up the recovery image, which you could re-flash. Then you could get into recovery and flash Cyan, having a functioning phone again
So my Vibrant has been turning off randomly. I think its because of the loose battery or maybe it's just over-heating. But a few days ago, after turning it on there is only a black screen and lit capacitive buttons at the bottom.
It boots up normal, with the vibrant name, t-mobile animation, and the Galaxy S boot animation, then black screen! This started to happen after a few reboots, and now it won't rebbot properly, just black screen. It seems like I have to restore my phone, but the problem is I cannot get the phone into recovery or download mode! Please advise.

First of all, there's no such thing as semi brick, there's brick or not. Try installing your Rom again..
Dan0zone don't be rude man,.backup your apps, enter recovery more delete all user data, if after that you have the same problem restore, or keep trying to enter download mode, try different methods

Do this bro... just tested it myself, works fine...
get adb installed on your computer, should already have it if your rooting but if not get it, youll find it in the stickied thread for informative links in the development section.
get a cmd prompt open on your computer and type in
>adb devices
let it start up deamon and it will tell you device not found, its ok.
now type and have ready...
>adb reboot recovery (do NOT press enter yet)
start your phone like normal. before its even finished with the boot up tmobile animation and the galaxy s (but after the plain vibrant text/picture) logo press enter. if it says error: device not found then wait all the way till galaxy s only you did it too early...
screen will go black and reboot into standard recovery... hope to goodness you had a working clockwork recovery installed and nandroid ready for this next part...
go down using your volume keys and select reinstall packages using the power key
now in clockwork recovery go down to nandroid
now go to restore
go to your earliest back up and restore it.
there you go.
I would start fresh get odin set up and reinstall the original rom at this point as something may still be corrupted, reroot, install latest clockworkmod, latest vibrant 9 rom (im using and see no bugs and runs better then the vibrant 6 rom i had) and DONT install the lag fix until the newest "TRUE" lag fix comes out with the new file system and kernel that JAC is working on and has almost ready.
good luck and pm me if any of these steps need further explanation.
Pypanys thanks for that post, I learn something new but he said its bootsup normally, but it goes to a black screen after the boot logo he can enter recovery mode, same thing happen to me. I was opening maps and it crashed, it frooze the phone, to I restarted the phone and enter recovery amd deleted user apps, and it did the fix,

hes just stated man that he cant even get into recovery, my guess is hes locked out using the volume up/down keys like many new phones are (which btw is a known defect, spend 10min on the phone with tmobile doing thier trouble shooting to show them it doesnt work and they send you a replacement..) sooooo I gave him a way to get into recovery without the buttons and not having to wait till he gets to a black screen where possibly its frozen and he cant use adb commands.
I was just making mention to you also that he cant even back stuff up NOW (hopefully he already archived all his apps and data) and hes better off starting fresh since hes getting problems using his current rom/lagfix....
Thanks for the quick reply p()()pypants, but i will have to try your method later. It's late and I have class (college) tomorrow, but i will post my results soon. Thank you again.
Edit 1:
Btw, is there a way to back up my current rom? Like the way rom manager back up roms? I know my current rom works before so that's why I want to back it up.
Edit 2:
Actually i did not use adb to root my phone, just used the one click method. So can you please give me more detailed instructions on how to install/use adb?
Okay, I typed in "adb reboot recovery" and press enter as my phone booted up during the t-mobile animation and at the Galaxy S boot animation. Neither time work. Then I reentered it again after the black screen. That did not work either. CMD keeps on returning "error: device not found" and the phone stays on with the black screen.

Do you have the right drivers installed? You can check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
Another very stupid question, just to cover all bases - your phone is plugged into the computer, correct? When you install the new drivers, try plugging the phone into a different USB port on the computer than you've been using, so it will hopefully pick up the new drivers without much extra effort.
If that doesn't help, just keep trying the command while the phone boots up. Maybe you'll get lucky and it will work. Sorry I don't have any real solution for you :\
I'm fairly sure I have the right drivers, otherwise I wouldn't be able to root in the first place. Yes, the phone is plugged in also. I'll try a different USB port and see what happens...
Update: Trying different USB ports does not help.
Hey guys i used rom manager to flash clockwork recovery but i keep on getting the red triangle and then an error message after clicking power/volume up and cant load zips like bacon bits.
So i think this is a recovery image problem so how can i load it properly...
thanks
Go back into Rom manager and reflash the recovery for the G2. I had to flash it twice. If it gives you a list of other phones then I suggest press Menu and clear download cache. Turn off phone and then power back on. Go back into Rom Manager and try to flash recovery. You should see G2 only. If not make sure you have good connection. I suggest Wifi.

Ya i have done that a couple times to no avail.
The only option i see is tmobile g2 but for some reason i just cant get the recovery to work properly...

I am having the same issue. the device is permanently rooted, i have installed ROM Manager, Only G2 comes up when i hit flash recovery, once selected CWM is installed successfully but when i reboot into recovery all i see is red triangle with !.
Is there another way to install clockwork mod or any other recovery image?
I'm having the same problem. I've looked for a fix but havent found anything. Is there a fix or a way to manually install Clockwork Recovery???
I must sound like a broken record but never ever leave the ROM Manager app without having flashed the recovery WITHIN THREE seconds. If it takes more than 6 seconds its broken. Just keep flashinng it so you get "successfully flashed like one a couple seconds after you select the phone model.
Besides, thats the easy way. Real men do it in fastboot. I liken flashing recovery to taking a shower.... rom manager = taking a shower in recycled ****-water in boston harbor (said **** emanating upcoast from NYC). fastboot = asian massage parlor quality steam bath hot sauna little lady and happiness. Pick your "recovery" wisely.... its the only thing to save you when you need it most.
If you have adb set up -- look in your tools or platform tools folder and tell me if you ihave a Fastboot.exe in that folder. If you do... then you are in luck. Connect your phone and put it in fastboot mode -- (white screen with FASTBOOT USB text)
"fastboot devices"
(should return a H-sometrhing. If it doesnt return anything you need to fix your sdk/fb setup)
second.... you want to erase recovery fully --
"fastboot erase recovery"
itll do it in like .003 seconds
third -- download the correct recovery and extract it or place the .img file (in the same folder as your fastboot/fadb files... (may want to rename it something easy like "recovery.img" (must be xxxxxx.img)
then do
"fastboot flash recovery xxxxxxx.img"
itll flash it in maybe three seconds.
Then "fastboot reboot" or get phone into recovery and check it.... that is the best way to flash your recovery. cleanest possible way.
this is the last time i post about fastboot. folks.... READ THE DAMN WIKIS. stop thinking we are sitting around waiting for you to put up your problem. jeez... the intelligence level of this forum has dropped from super-hackoid to Idiocracy in one year.
just read the wiki. this is very elementary. very very elementary. Like kids should learn this before they learn to tell time on a two-handed clock.
Just checking, but you do have S-OFF, right ? Because you need S-OFF to flash a custom recovery, root on its own is not enough.
You also mentioned that you hit Power and Volume "UP." Correct combo to access recovery is Power and Volume Down.
No need to bump ancient threads like this.
To clear any confusion though:
Power + Vol down will get you to bootloader whn your phone is off, but if you are in stock recovery, Power + Vol UP will get to the recovery menu options.

No one is able to offer a solution to this issue
I have the EVO with CM7 and after flashing phone it enter a boot loop with
White back ground and HTC Logo.
Other post have same issue..and we are not able to get into recovery
please see post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340267
bootloop and the phone was using CM7. I was able to get to boot loader menu but can not get to recovery.
Tried to add recovery image no dice...now the phone will only charge and not boot
Just so you know, this belongs in the Q & A section...as it doesn't offer any 'development' of roms, kernels, ect.
Anyways, did you try flashing a boot.img via fastboot?
P.s....prepare to be flamed.

Was a problem a few months back with some users, no solution was ever found. The only thing they were able to do was flash a radio and pull the battery to cause an intentional brick and then have it swapped.

Well I had the same issue, but my adb skills are next to nill. I just upgraded from the kyocera zio. I was able to flash a new recovery image through the zio clockwork mod fastboot program. Now I wont promise it will work for you but it is worth a shot.

Yeah I did try a recovery the RA recovery for the EVO...I was able to update and tried to enter recovery but was not able to. I tried with another recovery by adding it to the root of the card and attempted to load the file with adb..BUT after the power down the phone no longer boots to bootloader...black screen and it vibrates once. I can only see it register as adb device >My HTC under device manager. But please not that running adb shell and no device detected.
Can anyone help?

Hey guys
I tried the one-click root toolkit for mac from android rootz.
Something apparently has gone wrong during the root and I got some error messages and it didn't proceed. Next thing I know the nexus is stuck on google X logo and that's it. It won't load. I tried to recover through the recovery mode a couple of times but now I get the red warning sign when I go into recovery mode. This is only the second day I've had the nexus for. I feel like crying. Please Help
When the red sign appears press the volup down buttons and power button randomly until you get into recovery then factory reset
My 7 and 10 both did that. Just hold power until it turns off, then boot a recovery, wipe everything except system and reboot. It'll come up ok.

I'm having the same issue. However, the recovery I have installed is the non-functional CWM. So I can't factory reset. (I managed to once before CWM bombed, but it didn't change anything.)
I've tried several options via the toolkit. After fighting with the app all day it's finally wound up just saying it can't find adb? (I have a growing dislike for this app and have since uninstalled it.) Adb is right where it belongs and seems to run fine from cmd.
I also can't seem to flash anything via fastboot for some reason. The device throws "failinvaild id command" and fastboot immediately crashes on my laptop.
I managed to get it unlocked. However, I'm unable to flash anything to straighten it out...
Any help would be great.

Thanks for the info. My situation wasn't quite the same as my CWM was the real issue, which wouldn't run long enough to allow for the factory reset boot-loop solution. Kept at it and managed to get CWM to finish the individual formats/resets one at a time.
With a now bootable device, I'm off to replace the recovery... Thanks again.
