Hey, glad to see you got a Nexus One, but I don't think I've heard of that problem before on 2.3.4 yet...
Try reflashing the update?

How do I reflash the update?

Download the 2.3.4 update found on the General Section of the Nexus One thread, rename it to Update.zip, and boot into recovery by holding down the volume down key and the power button. Select Recovery from the Hboot screen and when you see the Android bug/mascot, hit the volume up and poet key together. When you see the options list, select "apply update.zip". Make sure the update.zip file is on the root of your memory card.

You wiped before install 2.3.4?? I was having some problem because I didn't wipe the device before install the new firmware. So I advise you to trying wiping and then install 2.3.4.
You can wipe you nexus doing this:
1. Open the Settings app.
2. Tap Privacy.
3. Tap Factory data reset.
4. Tap Reset phone.
Or take a look to this link http://www.androidcentral.com/how-hard-reset-google-nexus-one

[Q] new to the forums

hey guys, Im new to the forums. I have an HTC Desire HD on Telus, joined to ask some genreal questions about rooting, Cyanogen Mod 7, etc.
Anyway, I recently got Cyanogenmod on my phone, and installed the Telus kernel thing at the end (following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954997). Anyway, the guide wasnt perfect here:
"2- Copy Telus Kernel.zip to your SD card from the "Step 2 - Telus Kernel" folder.
3- Run Kernel Update Utility (in the "Step 3 - Kernel Update Utility" folder) and click "Select a cwm zip", then click next, then click Go to fastboot, wait for the white bootloader screen on your phone, then click Flash. Once it's done, it'll reboot back into Android."
I wasn't sure what to select as a cwm.zip...so I chose the telus kernel zip in the "Step 2 - Telus Kernel" Folder. everything went fine until boot up. It just hung at the HTC turn on screen...and I couldnt even get into reboot recovery. Sent it in and now I have a new one...Still want CyanogenMod. Just dont wanna screw it up a second time. Thanks for any help

What you should of done is hold vol- and power button and that would of took you to recovery.
Anyways, from personal experience i've flashed different kernel to try out a number of times, my advice is to copy the kernel into your sd card and boot into recovery and flash the kernel as you would flash a rom..

hey, ya I tried the down volume plus power, it did nothing. anyway, maybe Ill try it that way. boot into recovery and flash it from there. The Telus kernel is so that I can hear out of the earspeaker correct?

That's right.. Boot into recovery and flash the kernel. The utility is just an automation of that process as far as I understand.

So why did my phone brick then? And can you tell me the process once in reboot recovery? Like what I should do before actually installing it? Such as wipe the cache, etc.

Technically if you phone booted into the boot screen , it wasn't bricked. whatever that was flashed caused a boot loop.
1. Hold Vol- and power button, wait for it to boot and release the keys.
2. select the option install zip from sdcard
3. Find the kernal and select it.
4. Once flashed select reboot system now.
All done

So that is for the ear speaker then?

Absolutely not

What's it for then? Why would I have to put it on after I get cyanogen mod? When I had it on my last phone (before it got fixed) just the phone feature didn't work...texting worked though...i don't understand what it is meant for...i know it's a total noob question, but I have to ask lol

From your initial post
I wasn't sure what to select as a cwm.zip...so I chose the telus kernel zip

you flashed a kernel to your recovery partition, which will have at least stopped it rebooting into recovery, what you should have done is returned to fastboot and flashed clockwork recovery and all would have been working.

Oh...so I should just do the whole thing from sd on the card in reboot recovery?

[Q]Booting into recovery with broken powerbutton?

Hi there, I got my Transformer about a week ago and the Powerbutton was somehow not ok, it took some power to lock/unlock screen etc yet i didnt really care. now it wont function at all (to turn it of i had to push it against a damn wall).
So i understand its a problem with the button and not the software and I want to go and replace it, problem is that two days ago i flashed modaco's rom. is there any way to return to STOCK WITH the broken powerbutton? how can i go to recovery in that case anyways?
also, maybe i can remap the button to "both volume buttons pressed" or something of the sort?
thanks in advance!

Connect to pc/mac with the android sdk install. Send these commands to it.
Adb reboot recovery
Or
Adb reboot.... It will reboot hold down volume button and it should go into recovery.

I see, now remains the problem of how to flash it to stock firmware.

I think you can put the stock update zip on the root of your sd card and flash it in recovery.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

But the problem is when choosing what to do in recovery mode. The choice is made by pressing the power button.

When you reboot into honeycomb with the update on the root of the card you should get a notification of a system update. Try that.

Are you sure it safe to just apply an update on a custom ROM? I don't wont it completely bricked.

Oh your rooted. Didn't know that. Kinda don't know now.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

Flash the attachment, reboot your device. This will give you stock recovery
Next you need to download one of the FOTA update (any version will do) from ASUS's site and rename it EP101_SDUPDATE.zip and put it in the root of your MicroSD. Now you need to boot into recovery and press volume up within 5 seconds so it'll flash the recovery ROM.

ROMS/Kernals/Root without CPU?

I really want to flash syndacate frozen, but don't have a data cable. I was wondering if I could downgrade to stock froyo, root, and flash syndacate from my phone. Thanks in advance!

None of what I'm reading makes sense. Can you expand upon this thought?

I'm running the gingerbread leak. I want to flash syndicate frozen without using a data cable. I'm sure I'd have to downgrade, then root, then flash right?

No. I've done it. the newer releases auto convert to ext4. My brother knows the whole conversion process and it has the conversion built in the script.

That's what I was thinking too, but wasn't sure if that was the question at first.

Could someone please explain to me what to do in a simpler fashion? Noob here

Turn on wifi, download the version of SRF1.2 you want and any fixes you want to use. Boot into CWM 3.1.0.1 purple and (for best results) wipe factory 3x, wipe data cache 3x, wipe dalvik cache in advanced menu 3x. choose install from sd>choose zip from card>srf1.2. watch the magic happen. reboot. flash enable journaling to avoid problems, if you'd like.

Ohhhhhh, you flashed the unrooted stock? I'm confused. Boot into recovery. What one does it do? I thought Gingerbread kept your current recovery. Didn't noobnl put it in there?
Also, if you have a friend with a Blackberry, their cable works great.

Its just show Android system recovery, not clockwork purple

Go to youtube and check out qbking77 video on 'how to unroot without a computer' vid. Then he also has a video 'how to root without a computer'. The how to root vid shows how to root ur phone with CWM 2.5.1. Then you download the SFR 1.2, CWM purple, and what ever kernel onto ur sd card and flash them from ur CWM 2.5.1. Took me about 15mins to do all steps. Minus download times.

The problem is we don't have cwm.

I'm not sure of qbking's method but root generally includes CWM so it should work.

Theyre on stock unrooted gb leak. Is there a non-odin way to go yet?

[Q] What next?

So i ended getting stuck in a reboot loop while trying to use droid x recovery bootstrap. Ultimately, i used rsd lite and sbf 2.3.320. So the question is what next? i tried to get the ota gingerbread update from verizon by updating through my phone, but it says that it is up to date. Do i need to re root my phone and flash a current version of gingerbread.
I did make a full titanium backup before is crashed my phone. I am still a little root shy after my first experience.

Try rebooting a few times and checking again. You could always just do a Gingerbread SBF if need be, though.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA App

Thanks. i will try that. If i end up using a gingerbread sbf, do i need to be rooted? Otherwise, just follow the same sbf directions i used before?

SBFing does not require root, if that is what you're asking.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA App

I ended up sbf back to 602 and got an OTA update to 605. Then rooted with 1 click root. Reloaded app from titanium back up.
Feeling a little more comfortable with the whole rooting thing. I think i ended up in a boot loop because i used droid x bootstrap which is not compatible with gingerbread.
So now i want to make sure i understand what i am doing. droid 2 bootstrap will prevent my stock rom from loading and instead will allow me to replace the rom manually. Once i reboot, it will boot into the new rom. i downloaded rom manager which will essentially automate to process of using a new rom.
One question though. Can i use rom manager to back up the stock 605 rom and go back to that if i want?
Hope this noob is starting to learn

You definitely should be able to.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA App

From personal experience I have had problems with ROM manager on gingerbread...i would download Droid 2 bootstrap from the market and press (bootstrap recovery) then (OK) followed by (reboot recovery)
That should get you right into Clockwork mod Recovery without problems....then use the volume down button and go to (backup and restore) then just press your camera button to select backup...
Once finished just hit the back button and reboot and you should have a perfectly good Nandroid backup of your current system

Thanks for your help. I got the the phone running on liquid rom. Pretty cool. I guess the 2nd init roms only work on older, rooted versions for the dx? I will do a manual rom flash also, just to understand what i am doing with the rom manager.

2nd init can work on either Froyo kernel based (older) or Gingerbread kernel (newer) roms.
Check the rom's thread to find out what kernel it uses and for installation instructions.
