I just got my Nexus one, but I cant start it it just keep rebooting when the four colord logo appears. I have tried to clear the storage but no luck. Really need som serious help here!
Thanks/ Viiddee
had the same problem. went back to recovery mode and used 'wipe' for all partitions (earlier i had done it only for the first on the list).
reinstalled CM from the SD card and all was well this time.
hope this helps you.
Yes krumbs is right you need to do a wipe upfront flashing the rom.
Without I also had the booting loop.
Maybe therefore in the installation instructions there's the point do a wipe ;-)
Sometimes we should read a little better, to prevent such problems.
Did you flash a rom? Or it's looping out of the box?

it looped out of the box.. and since i am new with android i need some help with this recovery wipe thing!? I got into fastboot mode and found recovery but when i did that i just got the android logo with a ! . And since it was like this out of the box I dont feel like try rooting it..
Oh didn't notice that you wrote that this booting loop is right out of box...
Let them change it, that's what I would do in that case.
yes it was.. the thing is that i live in sweden and it will cost me alot if i have to send it back.. so is there anything eles I can try? If I unlock the bootloader can reverse the unlock so that the warranty still works?
thanks in advance/ V
No, you can't relock the bootloader. Turn off the phone... restart by holding the volume down key. Scroll down to wipe/factory reset and hit power to confirm. Should reboot automatically. If this doesn't work, you have no choice but to get it replaced. HTC normally pays for the shipping... and since this is Dead on Arrival, they shouldn't have a problem sending you a new phone.

i didnt flash recovery yet, though i can access the files via usb when its locked at lock screen, so im going to try adb push
Good move
Or you can always toss a full stock ROM image on microSD and flash without custom recovery.

Not sure - never done any full package flashes, only update packages. Pretty sure I've seen a bunch of them around these fourms.
Best of luck - hope you don't have a dead tab.

so far it seems i do, tried a update, and still does the same thing
it would be fine if i didnt have a custom boost animation in the system/media
i still have 12 more days warrenty.
is there a way to delete it via computer?
not sure if anyone knew about the hard reset, i contacted acer and played dumb, though i told them what happened.
i was instructed to
Power down the device
hold Vol Up + Power for 3 sec
continue holding Vol up, and keep switch the screen lock back and forth until "erasing cache" comes up on the acer screen
at which point you stop and let it run its course.
said it would take 30 minutes. i fell asleep, 2hrs later i checked it, still same. recontacted acer, another tech said to do the default hard restart with the push pin
worked like a charm
in process of rooting, installing CWM and making backup lol

Hello ,
Did have the same problem and solved it by flashing the update.zip found on this site.
I've put it on the root of the SD card , push start and holding vol down , and then perform the update .
Can you explain me tough what you men by " do the default hard restart with the push pin " .
Thanks

Did you get it from a local retail location? If so, I would just march back there with my receipt and not give too many details - i was working on a picture and it broke and I have no idea what is wrong, etc - they should just give you a new one.
Have you tried clearing the cache? There is a combo with holding power / volume up when booting and using the rotation lock switch, not quite sure how it is done but i think you just hold both and flip the switch like mad - totally sure I have seen the process posted here somewhere.
If you got it via online order, you still should be able to just return it.
Or call acer - they might be able to work some magic.
Best of luck, hope you get it going or at least get a new one. Really sounds like you have a defective unit, I rooted mine the day after I bought it, have had it for nearly two months and multiple rootings/unrootings/rom flashes and have had no issues at all.
Hey,
I need some help with my Nexus 10, it's stuck at the moment.
I ran fastboot oem unlock via the Samsung Google Nexus 10 ToolKit 1.3.0 (updated for 4.2.2) and as soon as it was done it rebooted and was stuck...
Booting normally it gets to the bootlogo and just sits there forever, going round and round and round.
If I try to boot into fastboot it shows that it's unlocked but I can't change change to recovery using the volume rocker it's just a solid static screen, only choice is to start which boots back into the normal boot logo.
I have no way to use adb or fastboot... it's just stuck :/ How do I recover/unbrick this?
Any help would be much appreciated.

I'm on the xda-devs irc at the moment and we've got so far... but still its messed up.
- Recovery is dead (can't get into it atm, orange triangle guy every time)
- Flashed stock via fastboot and unrooted, but on reboot I get the triangle guy.
- I can boot into unsecure roms (temporary)
- I can boot into temporary recoverys, clearing cache works but davlik cache and factory reset doesn't work both say "failed"
I'm currently awaiting the guy whos been helping me get back from the shops.
From what I remember you need to either install something or run a command after "oem unlock" for security reasons. Android wont let you boot back into the OS until you have wiped all the data after the unlock.
The orange guy means it's working. There's a button combo to hit at that screen to get the recovery to boot. Once there do a factory reset and your done.
That's why toolkits sick, they teach you nothing and when they break your stuck

The pressing 3 buttons at once; cycling to recovery... method wasnt working because there was no recovery accessable what so ever and temporary recoveries weren't working.
That's what a few guys in IRC said too about the toolkits haha
Thankfully some guy by the name of YellowGTO spent some time helping me out and we finally got there in the end, he's awesome and extremely patient

Okay, updates for everyone just incase someone else gets the problem.
- Factory Images via fastboot flashed fine but never stuck, just kept returning me to triangle dude.
- Fix permissions, did nothing
- Restoring stock recovery did nothing, I still couldn't get to a recovery.
- Temporary recoveries only had limited functionality.
I decided to unlock an already unlocked phone again
I flashed stock, Ran file permissions
Used the temporary recovery to clear the cache/davlik (previously didn't work)
I re-rooted, Installed TWRP 2.4.4.0, this finally stuck.
I double checked that it had stuck by booting the system, rebooting into recovery, powering device of and powering it on to Android. It was all working perfectly.
I then made my backup and put a custom rom and kernel on, it's working lovely now.
It seems that somewhere during the oem unlock it messed up some partitions or something resulting in recoveries and flashing not to work/stick.
Good to hear it's working for you. The issue is that the stock N10 bootloader does not wipe the data partitions correctly as it should. So after an unlock you need to go into the stock recovery and wipe it. Boot once, then go and flash all your flasheys

That's the thing, the recovery wasn't available in any way shape or form and temporary recoveries wouldn't wipe the cache... the oem unlock went wrong somehow even though it had full power, wasn't interrupted or anything.
I'm glad it's all working now, I thought the device was completely dead at one stage.
I think you had the problem almost everyone runs into:
As you can see in the video, you just have to try for a bit to actually get the recovery menu to open - My heart dropped a little before I knew that as well

Upgraded to 7.1, next day phone restarted, boot loop at google logo. Able to get into fastboot power + down, none of the options are working, just keeps rebooting. Tried recover mode but just loops.
Tried fast boot, but unable to flash due to locked bootloader. I saw another thread with twp but not sure if im using this.
If it's bricked, time to get a new phone, or does google rma?
thanks for any help
The first thing you should do is unlock the bootloader, here is the guide its pretty simple.

Once ghe bootloader is unlocked i would suggest using the same guide to flash the factory image. That should fix ghe problem.

I can't unlock because i keep getting FAILED (remote: oem unlock is not allowed)
I can't get into dev mode to allow it to be unlocked.
Can you get in to the stock recovery Like once you ara at the bootloader screen use your volume down button to select recovery and then press power button to select ghe recovery option, once you are in hhe recobery try doing a factory reset/wipe user data and reboot, see if that helps
Ohhh man.... Sounds like the same symptoms a ton of other users had including myself.
I ended up doing an rma as nothing i tried worked. Just kept getting the warning screen and Google screen.

I contacted google, wasn't sure if this was covered under warranty due to it being beta. I hope they do replace it, or I guess ill be getting pixel.
A couple days ago, my volume buttons were not working so I thought a quick restart would fix it. But when I restarted it, it went into bootloader. Its stuck on the 'Restart bootloader' option and I can't select it with my power button nor can I select other options with my volume keys. I try and hold down the power button and it restarts into bootloader again. I booted into recovery and tried to restore it with a nandroid I made that had everything stock but that didn't work. I also did a factory reset, but every time I try to boot into system it goes to bootloader instead. The only problem I can think of was that I held my phone when my hands were wet so maybe water went inside? I'm tempted to get rice to get the water out but I want to be certain that this is the result of water damage. If it helps, I had TWRP and a very early version of Lineage OS on the device before it happened.

Hi... How did you manage to boot into recovery without the volume rocker?
Have you tried a simple:
fastboot format cache
fastboot format userdata
fastboot reboot
From bootloader?
Is your bootloader unlocked? If yes, try loading a factory image from Google if none of the above work.

I used 'fastboot boot recovery.img' to get to recovery. I tried to format the cache and userdata again, but still didn't normally boot. I also tried flashing the stock images from Google's website but still it won't boot.

I never seen this before. If you type fastboot reboot, it reboots directly into bootloader, right? I first thought avout the bootloop issue many currently report. But if you can boot a recovery.img or if your phone only reboot into bootloader, I think this scenario can be excluded.
Hmm you said you touched you phone with your hand wet?!
Could it be the moisture that oxidized the volume down contact inside of the phone? I don't have another idea. Wait for other people to chime in. Hopefully it's another (easy to solve) issue which I am unaware of.
Good luck.

No error came up when I flashed it and holding power button at bootloader restarts the phone back into bootloader. I might just stick it into some rice and use my old Nexus for now unless another solution presents itself.

Sorry for late reply, but I did manage to get if fixed. I sent it back to my phone company to get fixed since it was still under warranty (even though its rooted with unlocked bootloader). Though, they didn't really tell me what went wrong. I assumed it was a hardware problem (a piece of rice was stuck in the speaker hole and was impossible to remove but was gone when I got the phone back).
hi guys,
so the nexus 6p i had got the oreo ota update and after a couple of day it restarted and since then stuck on google logo(bootloop).
it only goes to fastboot mode,
download mode is disabled,
recovery is not there of any kind, meaning i cant boot to recovery mode.
every things gone on it can i do something to get it back, oem unlocking was not turned on in it. developer option was never turned on. bootloader is also locked.
i am in a big trouble guys please help me if there is a way.

Same issue on one I have my hands on. This could get interesting.
From fastboot can anything be pushed/flashed like a previous actually functional firmware? Is there other specific software to do so? Only got my hands on the defective non functional device today but I'm planning and scheming a fix if possible.
One thing is really interesting. Why only after this update???? Why not after update from 6 to 7 then 7 to 7.1 and after 7.1 to 8.0. I think Google or Huawei is cheating us and forcing us to buy Google pixel.
I also have this issue (I'm using a nexus 5x, but this thread is the closest to my issue I've found), but it came incrementally. First, I started getting reboots every 20m or so, while doing normal phone things (reading, mostly). Then it started getting into bootloops that were 2-3 boots long, and would then work normally for the 20m mentioned above. I tried a factory reset, but it just got worse, and now either reboots on the Google logo or during the Android animation. My fastboot menu only has the regular "Start" as green. The only other options are Restart Bootloader, in red, and Recovery mode, also in red. Power off is there, obviously, but that's it. It started happening yesterday, and worsened to its current point within only a few hours.
Well. I have just joined the club. What is going on with that?
Happened to me today and I was using the latest build of SuperXE 6P.
Guys! lol
1. Dev options in ROM is same old. Settings/about and tap build 10 times to see count down to developer. Back to settings. In there for OEM unlock
2. Factory reset can be done any number of ways.
a. In ROM. Settings/backup and reset/factory reset.
b. From anywhere, hold power+volume down until you see the bootloader. There are 2 possible screens in there. One of them has factory reset. Beware! From here it will likely wipe your sdcard!
c. From recovery. You can get there from bootloader. You can also flash an up to date recovery image from bootloader.
The rest of your recovery process should be provided by the ROM thread by which you will get your choice of ROM.
Make sure you have access to a PC with adb. You will likely need to flash a vendor image
My device is only recognized in fastboot mode. No ADB, no recovery. Tried to uninstall and manually install latest USB drivers, it didn't work. My Nexus is now just stucked in a bootloop. I even tried to flash factory images to no avail. Really don't know what to do...
FYI I have no screen in bootloader allowing me to factory reset: only Start/Reboot/Reboot bootloader/Barcodes, as others stated above.
