Did I brick it? Nexus

Ok I'm kinda a newbie...I've searched the forums and can't find my solution.
So I installed CM 7 on my nexus one from Rom manager. Everything is ok...so I decide to put google add ons ( froyo). This is what happens now... I get the Cyan logo animation , then the green google sign up logo then the phone reloops to the cyan logo and then the google sign in logo...I cant access nothing on my phone.
I boot into recovery ( power +trackball) , go to recovery option click on power and then I see the X (phone vibrates ) then I get a black screen...and nothing happens.
I did do 2 working rom recoveries from clockwork...I just cannot access them to recover my old working images....Can someone help or did I brick a new phone...
Thanks

just like basketball.......... brick

Maybe try to push a new recovery through ADB?

ok how to do that ADB?
What is ADB ...can someone please help
Thanks

You shouldn't be flashing pre-beta firmwares if you don't know how to use adb.
Use Google or the forum search to find out all about adb.
Also, if the phone is booting as far as the Cyanogen logo, then it's not even remotely "bricked", it does sound like you've managed to stuff up the recovery though, probably ROM Manager's fault, it has a habit of breaking things horribly.
Boot into fastboot and flash the latest Amon Ra recovery, then boot into recovery, do a full data wipe and flash a standard firmware back on.

Yep it's dead, send it to me because I'm building a house.

OK so I fastboot with sdk ...
Because the recovery option just send me to the dreaded X and then nothing

Not bricked. The best people to help you through it the fastest are on the Cyanogen Mod IRC Chat. Make a screenname and one of our amazing Devs will help you though the crisis. Been there, and you'll love them for it.

When I was a newbie in xda, I made sure to research thoroughly before blindly doing weird kinky stuff to my phone.
The xda wiki was one place that helped me in my dark noobish times.
Do yourself a favor and read up the wiki, you might find your answer there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:Nexus_One.png

get yourself the android SDK, run a cmd window, while your phone is bootlooping;
type adb remount
you should get a message "remount successful"
now type; adb shell rm /system/app/NetworkLocation.apk
and also; adb shell rm /system/app/OneTimeInitializer.apk
your phone should now boot normally

thanks
I.ll try it when i come back from work
But it isn't bootlooping persay...I get the cyan guy and the cm7 logo screen (the arrow turns for awhile...then I get the Green Android guy and it says click to start...I can't even click ...the blue cyan screen starts ...then the green guy ...this loops for ever.
In bootloader mode ( power+trackball) when I try to recover...the the google X logo appears the phone shakes then black screen....nothing happens.
I think that either clockwork recovery is broken (because I saved 3 back-ups from rom manager)...or it works but I cant see screen (SLCD)...Anyway, is there a way to just flash en existing image on my sd card.....
Also my phone was soft rooted (androot) I don't have the big unlocked under the x...will this prevent me from using fast boot to flash???
Thanks guys I know I'm a newbie...Ive read alot...I'm sorry if I offend some of you guys...Thanks for the help....

Sounds like your bootloader is still locked... in that case, fastboot will not work for your phone.
Still read the section on flashing recovery in the xda wiki. There's a section on how to flash a recovery without fastboot but adb.

adB
Ok isn't ADB a driver for usb ...
Anyone know a step by step for morons ( like me)
That have a locked phone, a corrupted bootloader ( or recovery not working) and modified roms on the sd card...
Can i just erase the sd ( put stock image on it)
I will try this at 2pm I must go to work....thanks for the help

Yes.
Download: http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Pas...le_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_MFG_Shipment_ROM.zip
Unzip it, and rename the extracted file passimg.zip
Place it on the root of your SD card and power the phone on holding Vol-
It will find the file and ask if you want to install, pick yes.

Ok
Ok heres what I did so far:
I used an empty sd card ( formated it and put followed what you said: put renamed image oanto sd card)
I power with the volume, here is what happens:
I click on bootloader
I get : recovery option , click the X comes back on shaked and then I get a black screen
Ive waited for 10 minutes nothing
Also: when I click on boot loader, I see ( in green) it saying wrong image, wrong something else.....
Can someone telle what I did wrong
Thanks

Did you extract the zip from within the zip, as instructed?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

ok heres something else I tried:
Went to the original sd card with everything on it) went to the clockwork folder) went to an old back up folder ( copy pasted everything onto the empty sd card) put the sd card into the phone , press power + volume - , get the green guys with skateboards , click onto boot loader ( see the same errors that roll down quickly, funny why they fly down so fast...but I think it says bad image or wrong image or time ) . Anyway, still same thing when I press recover ( with power button) the X shows up , the phones vibrates and then the black screen.
I i do a normal power on ....still get the CM7 boot guy , the arrow that turns around him a few times , then the green guy that ask you to click on him, then you can't even click on him...the CM7 boot guy starts all over (this loops til infinity)
Just so you guys know, the phone was rooted with androot...so I don't know it its still rooted since the software dowsn't work....
Any ideas guys...thanks...
I will try the adb method late tonight...but Im not sure its works if the phone is soft rooted...
Thanks

Did you really rename the passimg.zip correctly? The bootloader should automatically detect the file and prompt you if u want to update. If it did not detect it, it could be the wrong file u renamed.
Remember that once you boot into bootloader using the vol down button, you have to wait for it to detect the passimg.zip before doing anything else.
And fastboot will not work on your phone. You need the roundabout method to flash recovery using cmd.

Ok heres what I did:
1-I download the link Rusty! supplied
2-I extract using winrar to the empty sd card ( a 2 gig card that has been formated using windows format tool to fat 32)..not the one that came with the phone)
3-Once the file in on the sd card, I rename is ( copy paste) exactly passimg.zip
4-I ask windows to eject
5-I insert the card
6-I press the power and volume down
7-I wait , so that fastboot is read.
8-I select fastboot wait a few seconds , select Fastboot ( is green letters) with the power button, it changes to bootloader( green letters), I see green text roll down( says ' i try to see, wrong....something)
9- nothing happens
10-I click recovery, the phone vibrates, get the X, phone goes black
****I tried reading that roll down message : wrong image is there with some other stuff
These are the steps...nothing
Thanks for the help

Before this i had made a copy of my whole SD card on the computer...
so if n e files are required i can access it.
I have the zip files that are listed above
PLEASE HELP ME .....[/I][/B]

First, check if you have a normal U8800, not -51 nor Pro.. You can check it by removing the battery.. And, the files you had on sdcard wont help you :/
You can also try to flash another official rom...
EDIT: what happens when you try to enter recovery?

hmm..try it:
go to in pinkscreen, connect phone to pc via usb and replace recovery to custom; boot in recovery (power+vol.up), wipe all (data/factory reset) and try to boot phone.. or install another rom in recovery

ok i just checked and i have the normal u8800
I think i messed up the phone even more.
i got it to stock and upgraded the CWM to 5.5.0.4 i think the new'st version .
I got that done and then tried upgrading it to aurora 5.0
I copied the file on to the sd card and installed it thru recovery . it said sucessfuly installed but when i rebooted my phone the huawei logo comes up and then a blank screen would remain.
I could access the CWM and i tried to factory reset and wipe out all the data, and after i did and rebooted the phone boots into a blue screen.
when i try to get into the recovery mode by pressing vol up+ power button i still get the blue screen
when i press vol up+ vol down +power butten it goes into a pink screen but i cant access the image folder.
I cant access any of the memory's on the computer.
I tried hooking it up to ubuntu to see if the drives pop up, but still no luck.
as of now im in a fix i dont know what to do coz recovery mode is not opening up and only a blue screen is coming and no reaction on the computer.
PLEASE HELP IM GOING A LIL INSANE>>>>

DON'T USE odin and other flash tools for our phone. It will full brick your phone.
Did you re-flash B518?
If you did,connect Phone while in Blue (or Pink) screen on Ubuntu. Open the disk manager tool (or partition tool,I forget its name),take a screenshot and upload here.

big headache gone..... i dont know if i wanna mess around and upgrade it again... lol

Any help PLEASE! How did you do it?
Hi everyone,
Firstly let me thank anyone reading this in advance! Secondly let me extra thank anyone who helps me in advance!
Sudhodhan. How did you fix your phone?
I rooted my phone. Then I copied a new boot.img file into './cus_backup/image' directory and now the phone wont boot. It just keeps rebooting. I've looked through this forum but cant seem to find an answer. People with similar problems but not exactly the same.
When I go into the pink screen I cannot see the recovery image folder when I pug the USB from phone to computer.
My phone has android 2.3.5.
I cannot access the clockwork recovery mode (by holding power + vol up) it doesn't work anymore or at all?
I have Ubuntu and Xp on my computer.
When I connect phone to computer (while in the pick screen) ubuntu recognises a huwei device attached but adb does not see it. previously adb would see the device.
However when I let the phone keep rebooting endlessly there are moments when adb sees the phone. I have even opened a shell in adb on the device for a little while. but when I did I could not see any hidden directories or the './cust_backup/image' directory. I tried to push the original boot.img file over but that did not work either!
I am stuck.
If I could see the image directory while phone was in the pink screen I could copy original boot.img.
Any suggestions!
Cheers

Hi Koffs,
First check if your phone is U8800 and not a variant like U8800-Pro (+), U8800-51 or U8800-H.
In the case you have a regular U8800 I would suggest you install a stock rom.
For now I recommend B518, find here the link:

How can i make my phone work again need help pleeaaase ((((

U need to go into recovery mode by powering off your phone then keep your fingers on volume up and power. Power botton should be the last key. (Even when the phone turn on dont release the botton until u go into a black screen with som writing) when u are in recover mode use volume up snd down keys to navigate to factory reset then use power key to select it then scroll down to yes then use power to select it then wait until everything is over then reboot the phone.
