I think I bricked my nexus (my fault) please help!

Hello all,
I think I may have bricked my nexus one. It is completely my fault for attempting things that I knew little about, so flame away But after the flaming, if anyone is willing to help I would be sooooo thankfull...
I successfully rooted my phone following the instructions on this page: (all links edited with a double asterisk as I don't believe I can post links)
h**p://theunlockr.com/2010/01/02/how-to-root-the-nexus-one/
Then successfully installed cyanogenmod (which is awesome!) following this page:
h**p://theunlockr.com/2010/01/08/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-nexus-one/
All was well, I even got the modaco desire rom up and running, and was happily switching back and forth using the recovery screen. I had nand backups for specific setups, etc.
Then I decided it would be good to know how to go back to stock, and found this page:
h**p://**w.androidspin.com/2010/05/06/guide-unrooting-your-nexus-one-its-like-it-never-happened-almost/
I followed the instructions to the letter (I think) except for erasing userdata (it said "failed: remote not allowed"). I thought that things would be ok, since I'd recently wiped, so I followed the page till the end.
The phone rebooted, and I got the original nexus boot animation - but it's in an endless loop! What's worse, it that now when I try to go to the bootloader or recovery mode, I get the exclamation triangle with the little android.
Is there any way through a command prompt (or other method) that I can fix this? I tried to re-flash the RA recovery image through the command prompt, but the response was, "waiting for device."
ANYTHING that anyone can suggest to help, I would be so thankful! I've been loving the nexus, and hate to think that I crippled it
Thanks in advance,
Randy

I doubt its bricked.
Noticed you didnt mention that fast boot doesnt work? (power button+trackball) try it.
Once you get to fastboot you can flash any ROM back. (fastboot flash **** commands from a command shell)

Did you ever perform a Nand Backup from Recovery?

It's not bricked, the only way to brick is to interrupt power when flashing a Radio image

Connect phone to PC. Open command prompt.
adb reboot recovery
Wipe, reflash.

So far, nobody has managed to brick a Nexus. There is no way as the fastboot mode can restore the whole phone and can't be messed with. Make sure you have the latest version of the SDK with correct USB drivers and fastboot. Then try and reflash the recovery image.

It worked!!!!!
It worked!!
britoso, thank you soooooo much! The only way that I knew to get into bootloader/recovery was via power button/volume down, but power/trackball brought up the bootloader screen, and I clicked on fastboot. I was able to flash the RA recover image through the command terminal via fastboot, then able to get into recovery. I had cyan and modaco sense on the sd, and was able to flash one of them on.
​
I never thought I'd be so happy to see "quietly brilliant"!!! I WILL buy you a beer, a case in fact as soon as money clears my paypal account.
I have learned my lesson, research research research. (I did do some, but not enough to feel comfortable with what I was doing - hence my cry for help!)
Other than the phone and OS itself, the thing I like most about the nexus is the fact that one CAN root, and then customize (sold a Telus moto droid because I could not do that very thing).
I digress... thanks again so much!
And Paul, thanks for your sense ROM; I've had HTC phones from the Touch to the the diamond to the Hero, and missed the UI!

Glad to hear it. You learn the most by trial and error.

I think i got the same problem. i tried to Unlock Bootloader and Root Google Nexus One which was successful but then i tried to superboot it and when it came to the part where you "double click the ‘install-superboot-windows.bat’ file" i clicked it but it did not go to the nnext screen where the superboot completes it just stayed at the "bootloader screen". i must hve not done something or done something wrong i dont know.
So then i unplugged the phone from the pc and rebooted it. when it reeboted i wasnt getting any network, the phone was slow and the notification bar would not slide down...also i noticed the phone restarting on itself...
/i tried all kinds of "restore to factory settings" but not solved. Can anyone tell me what to do tht will work. I coud not understand what was said in the above thread as i am new to this android n my first time rooting n stuff n i believe that solution would work for me too..if some one could please explain in simple tirms the steps i need to take would be good...
Really appreciate it....

[Q] "!" inside of triangle when entering recovery mode?

Hello World.
This is my first post but, Im here reading everyday ever since I found out about the xdandroid port for the TP2. But anyway here's the problem. I now have a 32b MT3G. I that I bought off of Ebay last week. I got it started researching on how to upgrade it to Froyo. I Followed the tut on how to root and put a Custom rom on the device. Everything went fine up until the after using flashrec and the recovery.img I turned off my phone. Then turned it back on holding PWR+HOME keys. Still everything good. But for some reason I wanted to switch my SDCARDs inside of the phone. So, I turned it off switched SDcards and PWR+HOME again. Did the partition, ext2 -> ext3 but it wouldn't connect to my PC on the USB-mode. It keep saying Need to format removable disk. I tried to but it wouldn't Let me. So, I started from scratach again. Now when I boot by holding POWER+HOME keys it get a "!" inside of a triangle over the phone. no opitions anymore no nothing. I'd like to know if I can still root or have I rooted the phone. and can i change the rom that is on it still. The phone still boots normally, get service and the whole 9. Most would say just leave the phone alone, but all these cool roms out there i have to replace the stock donut. Please help.
Thanks in advance

myTouch 3G, Magic General
Discussion about the T-Mobile myTouch 3G, HTC Magic (general Q&A, tips & tricks)

Ok, I fixed my own problem
From what I've gathered, my phone was never fully rooted. After the 18th time reading the tut on unlockr.com I was able to root my mt3g. The strange thing is When In the recovery mode I never had USB support for the phone with USB-Mode enable. To put the ROM on the SDcard I had to exit, reboot move the file over from inside of the stock mytouch rom w/ root rom then reboot into recovery mode and flash away. I guess the moral of the story is to read. I'd like to thank you guys for not replying because in you guys tryin to help me I probably would have bricked my phone because I wasn't sure what I had done to my phone at the time.

Soft brick installing GingerbreadlatinIME.zip

I just tried flashing the Gingerbreadime.zip and followed the directions to the letter and I experienced my first soft brick. The phone went into a boot loop at the mytouch screen. Luckily I was able to go into Recovery and restored the backup I had made after rooting and turning s=off. It appears to have restored okay as I still have root etc. Does anyone have any idea how or why this happened ? This zip was posted in Droid-Life and was advertised as good for all android 2.2 devices. I have never used adb but have it set up on my phone so I guess I had better get more familiar with it. I have flashed my Vibrant numerous times using Odin and Rom manager but I don't believe that there is a similar program for the Mt4g (Odin that is) I guess I have been spoiled by my Vibrant as it seems to have more options to recover with and are easier to use from what I can tell. I do love this MT4g though It is probably the best all around phone I have ever owned. Any and all info and help is greatly appreciated.:

to my knowledge there has been no gingerbread port for our device yet. Your lucky you didn't brick your device.

There are people experiencing the same thing in the Nexus forum. Personally I would stay away from anything that is not specifically built for this phone as its a completely different OS than Vanilla or Moto Droid or etc. etc.

I sure intend to and I should have got on this forum before I even attempted to flash it. Right now everything seems fine except I cannot get into recovery only clockworkimode recovery. I am holding down the volume down button and pressing the power button at the same time and the device just reboots. Any ideas and what could be causing that? I am embarassed to say that my ignorance that pushed me to flash that zip is probably at the root of it. Any steps that I can take to enable me to get into stock recovery to check and make sure S=off?
Edit: Just pulled battery and sim card and than put them back in and the device went into stock recovery and s=off so I hope that all is okay and I did not create some ghosts that will show up when I attempt to flash a rom later on.

Please post questions in Q&A section.

I did the same thing. I flashed the .zip file from droid life forum and got a success message when I installed it through recovery and mine never bootlooped. I didn't get the gingerbread keyboard but it didn't bootloop either

I think you mean bootloader? You only have 1 recovery. If you flashed clockwork you no longer have stock recovery. Vol Down + Pwr gets you to bootloader or SPL where it shows S=off.

I did not flash the zip (sounds like an overkill to flash a zip for new KB). I ADB pushed both files and got a FC on multi-touch KB... oh well, I like HTC_IME better anyway

make sure fastboot is checked off otherwise you cant get into the bootloader. to make sure it is off go to: menu, settings, applications and uncheck fastboot. you're good to go then. to get into recovery, you can do it thru bootloader or by opening up rom manager and clicking on the "reboot to recovery" option

the website was not specific enough. the port at the current moment is for motorola droid devices. they should have been more specific instead of saying any rooted 2.2 android phone. even if you do get it on your phone, its only going to force close every time you try and type something. thats what happened to me, so after about 24 hours i said **** it and removed it. swype in my opinion is better anyway. im trying to port the g2 swype to our phone so we can have a swype with a mic on the keyboard. oddly, ours didnt come with one.

[Q] Looks like I hard bricked it...

My full apologies in advance if there has been a similar thread, I've honestly been looking for the past couple of hours. If there is one and I've just missed it, feel free to open-fire on me.
I have an AT&T Atrix running on 2.3.4 Gingerbread; rooted and unlocked bootloader with the Alien 4 ROM and the Alien 4 Theme. I'm really new to rooting and have only been rooted for about a week now. Today though, I was going to trade my Atrix for an HTC Inspire. I used to have one, switched to the Atrix, and I've come to the conclusion that I prefer the Inspire. While wiping my personal info off of my phone, I did something I clearly shouldn't have though, and everything went downhill from there. Not really thinking, I had already wiped my SD card (which had the Alien ROM), and I still needed to clear off the phone itself, so I figured it'd be okay to just go to the Settings and wipe my phone through the Privacy option. When it booted back up I saw that almost all apps (including necessary ones like Phone and Browser, among others) were gone. I didn't think it'd be a problem and I could just download them again through the Market, but my Settings app was also gone, so I couldn't configure a Wifi connection. I couldn't configure anything. My SIM card didn't work either, nor did the SIM of the person I had met to trade for an Inspire.
When I got home, I went through the different options in Android Recovery on my phone... Still nothing. So I fired up RSDLite on the Windows 7 comp in the computer room, downloaded the 1.5.2 Atrix SBF from here to try and flash it back to the stock Atrix ROM, and clicked Start. My phone rebooted once or twice and it looked fine, but then RSD said that the flash had failed. Now whenever I try to turn my phone on, it stays at the big M logo with "Dual Core Technology" underneath (it doesn't even change to the pulsing M). I haven't been able to boot it up since... Sorry for the novel, but it'd be really greatly appreciated if someone could help me out here. Thanks for your time.

That definetly doesn't sound like a hard brick. Use romracers recovery and try to flash a fruitcake http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009 which are much safer then sbfs.
By the way theres no need to apologize when posting in the "correct" forum .General or QandA is where this thread belongs. if this were development though then you'd be in a world of ****! LOL

if you are on big M (without any "failed to boot" ) you're soft bricked,
try to power on button+ volume down button...
if says "fastboot" then just volume up,
download the .img files in the fruitcakes section and follow the fastboot mode instructions...
you'll get back your phone.
read carefully the instruction where to put the files in your windows 7 user directory etc etc, 90% of the problem is because people don't understand where to place executables and run them
hope it helps

Thank you guys so much!! The solution was actually even simpler than what you both suggested; all I had to do was flash to 2.3.4 with moto-fastboot. I had never used fastboot before, so it took me forever to figure it out, but I finally got it and my Atrix is back to the way it came. Thanks again, you two. Cheers!

[Q] UK DHD semi bricked, at least.

I know you guys have seen this over, and over. 1st post from a noob.
I've been through the forum since lunchtime, using the search function, but I just cant make the damn thing fire up.
I rooted it with AAHK, worked brilliantly, then I put the ICS ROM onto it, worked fine apart from the camera, which I was expecting, but after trying numerous camera apps, I couldn't get it to work, SO
I re ran AAHK to put Froyo back onto it, from where I could take the HTC system update and reinstall Gingerbread while I waited for further developments for the camera.
Phone was nicely plugged in and AAHK was running away, but the doorbell rang, I got up to answer it and my daughter saw my phone and decided to play Angry Birds. Unplugging the phone.
She got angry Daddy instead.
I can boot into recovery mode (which is something I guess) but how do I get it back up and running.
On the recovery screen I have the following text:-
ACE PUT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-0.85.0024
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26. 03.02.26_M
Apr 12 2011, 00.55.45
Then the instructions for selecting, then the menu. Recovery gives me the red triangle, reset takes me to the HTC screen, then a green circley thing, then HTC, then ....
I tried running an RUU install, but my computer doesnt recognise the phone and I can't make that work either.
AM I looking at it meeting with a 'terrible accident' or is it recoverable?
SD card was wiped. My bad there.

It seems that fortune favours the brave. Seems I'm uploading a RUU now. I ought to be able to get some sleep soon.

Well It's great that you managed to get it going again. On a side note, before this mess happened, if you wanted something more stable, you should have just flashed another ROM, maybe something with gingerbread. Cyanogenmod is a great rom to get into root stuff too.
I'm not sure what you mean by rerunning AAHK? AAHK does allow you to remove root if you're on a supported stock rom. but I don't recall it being able to put you back onto a stock rom from another ROM. You would have to apply an update package from HTC (making you lose root and most of you're info too).
BTW, that screen which you call recovery is actually the bootloader screen, from there you can choose what you want to boot into.
Unfortunately I don't really know how to help you from here, there's only so far I can go on the technical side before I FC and reboot. Other then telling you where you went wrong (and probably know by now), I can't tell you how to go right. Woot woot for constructive criticism. :victory:

For your first post, try downloading the htc drivers (htc sync) to your computer.
Second post: uploading?

your computer wont be able to recognize ur phone whatever u do...U will have to install the RUU (PD98IMG) from fastboot (Make sure not to flash a Froyo RUU on a phone shipped with gingerbread).. i am sure u knw how to flash the RUU using PD98IMG from fastboot, just do it and everything will be fine and u will return to stock and u will also loose root,so u will have to root it again.

I re rooted it, as I am, as we all know, a noob, I thought that would put Froyo back on it, (Like I did when I rooted it first) and then I could simply take it on over to Gingerbread with the system update tool.
Ultimately, the bootloader worked, and I now have a fully working phone.
Thanks to you all for your replies, you're making a man whois old enough to know better understand a little more with each one.
Oh yeah, I could get into the bootloader screen by turning power on and holding the VOL - button. When I pressed power on and help the VOL + button, it buzzed 4 times, and the orange notification light just flashed, nothing else.
Doesn't really matter, it works, it's back to how it was, and I know where I went wrong, ish.

although the issue is resolved, must important thing when something goes wrong: Don't panic! (Hitchikers Guide refrence there
Happened to me when I rooted my friends inspire 4G (he saw that AAHK says it was done on the phone and decided to unplug it straight away) just come the the forums
It's always the forums....
