help nexus bricked - Nexus One General

then after flashed cyanogen 5.0.4.1 with baked goods the phone can not load more than the system then I wanted to do a wipe and then a restore with the recovery of Amon_Re but the phone did not enter recovery more! I have left the x colored with the sign of the lock at the bottom ... how can I do?
sorry for my bad english
p.s. i can use fastboot and the bootloader is unlocked

Huh? If you can still boot into bootloader, it's probably not bricked.
I'm not sure I understand you, either. Did you flash the recovery or not? Do you mean that when you tried to navigate to recovery, the phone didn't? Idgi.

i flashed recovery...but today when i tried to do a wipe then phone didin't go in recovery

Have you turned off the phone, take out the battery and insert it again if you must, then hold the trackball down while pushing the start button on top of the phone?
If you get into a white menu press the start button again, wait for a while, then scroll down to "Recovery" with the volume down button, then press the start button. After a while the Amon_Ra Recovery console starts and you can do whatever you want.

as long as you can still get into bootloader, all is not lost.
you may need to start from afresh,
try a full wipe,
reflash the original images
boot.img
recovery.img
system.img
then you should be good to go,

Problably a bad download. Try downloading amonRa recovery again and fastboot flash recovery recovery you know the rest.If that doesn't work type adb reboot recovery.

Hi
Don't worry it is not bricked. Exact senario happened to me yesterday and this is what I did to correct the problem:
-I left the phone as it was (X+Padlock screen) till battery was discharged.
-Put it on charger
-Press "volume down+Power button" at the same time.
-That will take you to "Recovery" console.
-Restore
-Wipe
-Reflash
My N1 is working like new with the Desire Rom (MoDaCo).

...why do that (discharge battery completely etc) when you can just use an adb command to reboot into recovery?

Exactly. And if you were worried about some strange battery state, simply wipe the battery stats from recovery.
So orig poster, what ever came from this?

go into bootloader then type
fastboot boot recovery-RA-nexus-v1.6.2.img
If you can get into the bootloader that should work. if not then you somehow got a damanged recovery image so type after you redownload it.
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.6.2.img

Flash the custom recovery again (via fastboot flash recovery nameoftherecoveryfile.img) before flashing the stock rom (or flash 2.3.x via Odin from www.samfirmware.com).
If you don't rename (need rooted phone and a file explorer that allows read/write access, eg Super Manager app) "install-recovery.sh" in system/etc the recovery will always be gone after each reboot.
Im trying to go back STOCK unable to get into stock recovery from fastboot not sure if that is right or a need to flash stock recovery again which i have done twice

Once you hit recovery from fastboot, you will go to the second screen with the triangle and exclamation mark. Hold the power button down and slide your fingure up and down on the volume keys. You will then enter the stock recovery... Hope that helps!

Does this prompt you before wiping?
Does it wipe the sdcard?

I just installed it to see if there was a prompt before wiping and IT DOES NOT ASK BEFORE IT WIPES. (Not yelling just want to be clear lol) Not sure on the wipe data/factory reset if it does wipe the sdcard. Not in the mood of transfering all my files over if it does. If it's the same as the one on the phone it may not because that asks you if you want to format usb storage. (Don't quote me on that either) Hope that helps!!!
For anyone who wants to know the options they are;
reboot system now
apply update from /sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition

Can you get to the bootloader screen so you can use fastboot? If so try flashing the TWRP recovery, it's a great recovery.

I can press the power button and both volumes and it gets me to download mode... from there, every option i try just gets me back to recovery. when i press start, it sends me to recovery. when i press shut down and then turn it on - recovery. when i press restart bootloader, it still takes me to recovery afterwards. wtf happened here man? never seen this before.

If you can at least get to download/fastboot mode, either get the stock recovery.img file or extract the recovery.img file from a custom_recover.zip, such as CMW or TWRP and place it in the directory where you have the fastboot util on your Windows PC, plug in the device into your Windows PC. Then type the folowing in a Windows Command prompt(without the quotes): "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Once that finishes then try rebooting back to recovery.
If you that doesn't work you may have a damaged bootloader, you can try extracting the bootloader(bootloader-manta-mantalj12.img) from the stock ROM and flashing it with the following command: "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-manta-mantalj12.img" then you can type: "fastboot reboot-bootloader" to reboot directly to the bootloader.

This happened to me yesterday.
Step 1 - hold down the power+volume up+volume down
Step 2 - plug up USB cable and use fastboot to flash the "touch" recovery version. Usebthe method as before, you might need to point your machine to the "naked driver" in dev section to get windows to see the fastboot device driver.
Step 3 - once you are in touch recovery you can just use the touchscreen instead of power button

You can just "adb reboot" from any computer with working adb and drivers.
This needs to not be flashed by default from Rom Manager until they get it taken care of. Twrp and cwm touch work just fine.

Seriously. Can we please sticky a thread or something that says CWM isn't stable on the nexus 10 yet. It would save a lot of people a lot of trouble.
I had the same issue get rid of crappy cwm and flash twrp, flash it by downloading the 1.3 nexus 10 rootkit selecting option 6 i believe with your n10 connected to your pc, it will fix your issue

I was able to fix it by re-flashing CW touch. thanks guys!

Phone will not boot into recovery or bootloader

I can't seem to boot into recovery or bootloader.
I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted. I have purity rom installed, and have TWRP recovery installed.
I had this problem a few days ago but I was able to turn the phone off then hold both the up/down volume with the power button to get into bootloader, then from there I was able to choose recovery and get into TWRP. Mysteriously after I did that I could then enter recovery directly.
So now here are my symptoms. I cannot boot into recovery or bootloader directly through the ROM, or by using GOO.im.
If I power down and then use volume + power button, it powers up normally.
Also, even though I had trickster setup with custom settings and had it to "set on boot" those settings are all gone.
Last thing is that when I was able to get into bootloader last week I noticed the setting "secure boot - enable"
Any suggestions?
Update, I could have sworn I had installed ROM Manager, but it wasn't there. I installed it and used it to boot into recovery... Well it worked, now I'm able to get to recovery (TWRP). And I got back into the bootloader as well.
So I'm ok for now, but this is going to happen again I'm sure
your issue is that youre doing it wrong, its power button + volume DOWN to get into the bootloader.

what do you mean through the rom? do you have a terminal emulator installed? try this..
su(press enter)
reboot recovery(press enter)
if this works fine, then its your rom at fault. dont use rom manager, that app will eventually cause you more grief then its worth. if you long press the power button, then press reboot, does it give you an option to boot into recovery/bootloader? and what do you mean settings get wiped?

Ok, so by "through the rom" I mean long-pressing power and then using that option to either boot into bootloader or recovery.
by settings getting wiped, I mean settings for the kernel, like custom color settings, vibrate strength settings, etc.
I won't be able to properly test your theory with the terminal emulator because I fixed the problem for now. I can now enter recovery using the long-press power button option.
I have read that sometimes a recovery won't "stick" sometimes if the "secure boot" is set to enable (You can see this at the bottom in bootloader screen). Maybe I need to disable this?

if you flash recovery via fastboot, it always sticks(unless you use fastboot boot instead of fastboot flash, then itll just boot it once). if you flash it with an app/toolkit, then it might disappear and need to be flashed again.

I used adb to flash it originally, I will flash it again tonight through adb.
though when my problem occurs I don't think the recovery is gone, I think that for some reason it can't be reached by long-pressing the power button.
The first time this happened to me I was able to go into bootloader manually, then I went to recovery from there.. .then booted into system. After that I was able to boot into recovery from long-press power.

Ran EasyRecowvery 1.3b3. Now phone doesn't boot to any recovery. (including stock!)

After attempting to use this tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/lg-h918-t-mobile-one-click-recowvery-t3491969
It appears that I do not have any recovery installed or it appears I don't have a bootable recovery. Previously I got the custom TWRP recovery to work but the installer went ahead before I was able to wipe data. Now I cannot even boot into stock recovery. even the command "adb reboot recovery" just makes the phone start up normally. Volume down + Power makes the phone start normally as well.
attempting to run the tool again will cause it to deny flashing the custom IMG file as it tells me my recovery is already modified and won't continue unless I turn off verification (highly ill-advised) It refuses to flash TWRP.
At least I have a working phone and not a boot looping brick but is there a way to get stock recovery back just so I can try again? I have been told I need to re-lock my bootloader and hopefully that will restore everything back to the way it was so I can start again.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

If it is the stock recovery it will only format your system to how it is out of the box.
If it goes into TWRP then you'll know.

fastboot reboot
phone seemed to get a factory wipe and i re-enable the usb debug again in the develope mode
then reboot to recovery use adb command
Code:
adb reboot recovery
but after reboot, i can only get lg's recovery. I've tried to re-flash twrp use fastboot,but every time i reboot to recovery i could only get lg recovery only, there is on way to reboot to twrp.

but can u tell me how to reboot straight to recovery while finish flash recovery in fastboot mode, i can't find way do this.
I have unlock the bootloader so each time i boot up the phone, first there is a lg logo displaying for about 2 second and then a warning msg will appear on the screen. this warning message will display on the screen for about ten second and then a lg logo appear again then boot the android system. i don't know how to interrupt the normal boot process and get into recovery manual.
when i use adb to reboot to recovery, lg recovery will appear after the warning message screen off. i turnoff the phone and press power+down button together to try to get into recovery manually, but after the lg logo appear the second time, there is no way to start recovery. the phone will boot to android directly.
ok i find the way to get into twrp now by vidoe in youtube.

Also having this problem, however when I hold the POWER+VOLUME DOWN buttons to try to boot into recovery after shutdown/battery removal - the system STILL loads.
I get the warning saying the bootloader is unlocked though. After that the phone just starts up as normal, even though I'm holding the buttons

here is the step i find finally
1. re-boot into fastboot mode
2. flash twrp use fastboot command.
3. power-off the phone
4. power-on with power and volume down button holding
5. while lg log appears, release power button immediately for 1 second and then hold again
6. when recovery selection screen appears, select 'yes' both two times.
now phone boot to twrp recovery.
REMEMBER: WHEN YOU BOOT INTO LG'S SYSTEM AGAIN, YOU WILL LOST TWRP. IF U WANT TO USE TWRP AGAIN, U MUST RE-FLASH TWRP AND REPEAT THE STEPS ABOVE. THIS WILL LOST ALL DATA(PHONE WILL GET FACTORY RECOVERED)!!
I hope this can help you, good luck.

You need to delete the file recovery-from-boot.p in /system
Each time you boot, that file gets executed and restores the stock recovery from recoverybak. Alternatively, you can flash TWRP to both recovery and recoverybak.
