Basically I unlocked bootloader and tried to load ROM. I tried the Desire and Cynagen. I was not successful at either. I manage to do a factory reset and the phone is working, except my wi-fi is shot, and when i recieve the initial OTA update it starts to download and then stops and I get the triangle of death as I call it with the lil android guy. I realy dont know what the hell Im doing and I need inch by inch restoring ROM for dummies instruction. I would like to go back to stock.I have been in threads but i get lost on certain things. I dont know what a adb is or how to acess it. I did read the noobies guide.. Please help as I am ready to chuck this thing out the window, i love my N1
I have searched the ORIGINAL SHIPPING TUTORIAL
and one other thread but i guess i cant post links.

did you try to load rom in the recovery img? This also happened to me (triangle with the android guy) and I thought I couldnt flash custom roms. For some reason the regular reboot to recovery mode gives me the triangle of death as you call it.
I got around this by loading in into bootloader mode then going to my command console, getting to my skd tools folder, and then typing
fastboot boot (whatever recovery img you used)
Then everything worked perfectly.
They are going to move this to General....
You did not follow the steps correctly it sounds.
Did you Load Amon Ras Recovery?
IF YES,
GO into Recovery
WIPE data
Flash Cyanogen's Latest ROM
Flash Google Apps available on Cyanogen's front page Post
In future ALWAYS nandroid Backup...
If you did not load Amon Ra's Recovery, you should go do this from fastboot.
I'll try to explain it to you:
1. The Bootloader is unlocked (you see the open lock at the first screen)? If you don't see the lock this is the first you should do or send it directly in for repair!
2. Then you have to flash the Recovery ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829) This you need to flash an update.zip Exact instalation guide is in the Link.
3. The ROM. If you want Stock then here you'll find it as an update.zip: http://android.modaco.com/content/g...-online-kitchen-optional-root-insecure-himem/
Choose one without includet Radio ROM!!! (See below why!)
4. Copy the ROM to your SD Card Root
5. Go into Recovery ROM (Vol Down with Power and then select recovery with the Volume button). There you select wipe and choose the first entry there (wipe data and cache)
6. Stay in Recovery ROM and selct Flash from update.zip and select the update.zip. Wait until everything is done and you are promted to reset your N1.
(DON'T MESS AROUND WITH THE RADIO ROM IF YOU DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING. DON'T UNDERSTAND ME WRONG, I THINK YOU HAVE NO GLIMPS WHAT YOU ARE DOING SO BETTER LEAVE THE RADIO ROM ALONE!!! YOU MAY BRICK (DESTROY) YOUR PHONE WITH IT!!! If you dont believe: http://android.modaco.com/content/g...odaco-com/303716/nexus-cannot-on-after-flash/)
7. There should be no 7. Everything should be fine by now.
Hope I could help.

Stheoft u are my hero!!! Now hold do I get the multitouch update? lol sorry
DID YOU EVERY KNOW THAT UR MY HERRRRRRROOOOO
edit: i got it, im back to square one... thanks alot for all ur help
@ Buck Shot, this is a development forum... threads with question shud go in the general forum... these are making the development forum a mess....
I rooted my phone today, all went well, so I decided to try a new 2.2 ROM. Made a clockwork backup and was able to install the new ROM no problem, but I had a bunch of contacts and such that were saved to the phone and not backed up, so I booted into recovery mode (with the help of ROM Manager as my phone is one of the hw locked ones) and restored my backup thinking I could use Titanium Backup to backup all the contacts and the few apps I wanted to keep, then reinstall the new ROM. It went through the restore process, but when it finished and rebooted it got stuck at the Vibrant / Samsung screen. I've searched through dozens and dozens of threads, but I can't figure it out. What can I do if I can't get into recovery (or download) mode? I sure hope it can be fixed.
That just happened to me yesterday and this method fixed my vibrant
Per that thread:
1.Your Device must be in DOWNLOAD mode to use ODIN.
I'm unable to get into download mode.
Well, first of all; there is a fix for hardware locked phones that you really should have flashed first. It worked like a charm on my own phone, allowing me to get into download and recovery mode.
A good place to start is here with the holy bible.

I recommend looking at this download technique
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=749413
If that doesn't work, you can make this simple little jig to pop it into download mode.

And if you get your phone back to a stable state. I recommend looking at the hardware lock fixes.

yes that can be tricky but watch this video it went right to download the first time for me
ceosmind: Followed the video several times, but I only get the green battery screen. If I hit power as well, I get stuck at the Vibrant Screen.
cwoodworth: I'm pouring though the links you gave...I'll report soon
cwoodworth:
Link 1 is awesome, but everything I read in there needs the phone in recovery or download mode, which I can't get to.
Link 2 didn't work, can't get the phone to boot.
Link 3 sounds promising, but it would have to wait till tomorrow as I don't have the requisite parts
Link 4 is good info, but I can't apply it until I get my phone to boot in some fashion
Ya, honestly you need to just search around the forums for all the different techniques that people have for getting into one or the other. Aim to get into download mode, because then you can reflash a good image.
Chances are you ran a NANDROID restore without flashing a 2.1 kernel (unless your backup was 2.2 as well which means I'm totally wrong). To fix this, see if you can boot into recovery and perform "adb mount" and push a 2.1 kernel to the phone. Flash the 2.1 kernel and your phone should boot properly.
Open up odin on your pc,take the battery out of your phone,put it back in , hold the volume up and down keys, plug the usb into your phone this should get you into download mode. I dont know if this will work because your hw locked but it can't hurt to try good luck.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
go_l_den : You called it... I was under the impression that the backup was a full backup including the kernel.
I've tried every way I can find to get it into recovery or download mode, looks like I have 2 options left
1. Make a jig to force it into download mode tomorrow
2. Try to trade the phone for another at T-Mobile
Bummer
AustinKnight45: When I try that I only get the green battery screen. I've tried in both Linux and windoze
whoops, double post
Hi people,
I'm having a problem and hope your vastly superior knowledge will help me out..
I am struggling to get clockwork recovery to boot into recovery mode... I have tried through booting with volume down and also from rom manager.. but wont access recovery....
I have successfully loaded JJ and swedish spring previously with no problems and swedish spring rls5 is running fine. I am trying to load a replacement rom, portugese spring rls3b. and struggling...
Am i doing something wrong or missing the blindingly obvious ???
All help or advice gratefully recieved.
What happens when you try to go into recovery?
I appear to have solved my own problem !!!!!
I had spent ages trying before i resorted to posting on hee for your help...
However i then downloaded the latest recovery image and then tried Fix Permissions in rom manager... Between these 2 things i was then able to boot into recovery and install new rom...
All seems well and just playing with new rom now to see if it is any better than swedish spring... Most people report it is faster and better for battery drain so will soon see.
Thanks for quick reply... I was just getting the green man until i eventually released my finger. It would then just boot normally.. All fixed now though thanks..
As a note for anyone else getting similar issues, i was flashing a few ZTE Blades the other week and found that more recent versions of clockworkmod was causing me similar problems, but the fix permissions didnt work.
The solution was to use clockworkmod 2.5.0.8 instead of the newer ones.
Ok, i realize i have a different phone from this thread but it is close and my problems closely reflect the issues ive seen with the Galaxy S.
A little background. Im no perfect i know what im doing when it comes to rooting. I have an HTC Tbolt and rooted many of those, an older touch pro 2, and this is first time doing a samsung. I am getting the hang of ODIN (i wish everyone would just use this program instead of bouncing back and forth between heimdall and ODIn but whatever) Im liking ODIN cause it works well. I was successful at flashing a new rom into this Samsung phone. 95% of it worked, wifi i think didnt but everything else worked. While trying to fix the phones wifi somehow i have stopped the phone from booting into CMW recovery unless forced or booting into a rom. I can get into CMW but i must hold down the Vol Down button to get there, otherwise a clean basic boot takes me to the stock android system recovery screen and will not boot a rom.
I have something backwards or out of order. I am just trying to get the rom to identify the installed CMW and the installed ROM through CMW but it wont do it.
Any help would be appreciated, i dont want my GF to find out i jacked her phone lol
Which phone do you have? SGS? I can just talk about SGS+ but I guess its similiar.
Try to install CWM with Odin, normally it should replace the stock recovery (haven't heard of both running at once).
Once you have installed CWM you can install your custom ROM with CWM (look at the install instructions).
If you want to install stock ROM with Odin it will replace your CWM with stock Recovery.
Post the link of the thread/recovery you want to flash.

Its a stratosphere. Im using the root and / or stock files in the root method. I use ODIN to flash the StratCWMRecovery.tar.md5 and if i tick "reboot" then it reboots into CWM i install a rom or stock rom and it finishes. I reboot the phone and it instantly goes back to android system recovery. If you like ill make a short video to give you an idea of whats going on.
I will note that im close to making a jig but its not 100% bricked obviously. 3 button method still works (and unecessary at this point since all the phone does is go straight into the stock bootloader) and then after i install CWM i can force it in to CWM but it wont actualy boot into it.
From a programing standpoint i feel the pointers or partitions are incorrect. Its like booting a computer that has a hard drive with windows installed however getting the bios to tell it to boot from the hard drive isnt working. THats the easiest way to explain this.
One thing i want to note is the only errors i am getting are when i try to partition the SD card from CWM. I get an error saying sdparted is not found.
I am not getting a full understanding of how the root system works on this phone.
Again any help is appreciated.
Made a short video. Its uploading now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFZ5Adm5AdQ
So whatever i did i was able to fix. I think me being a very visual person and normally having access to all files i need or could use in a situation is always nice. Here, i didnt but i found them. Here's the link. Its obviously for stratosphere but i took about 10 minutes and let ODIN install all these files and it worked.
original posting but the link doesnt work for download

Again this is for stratosphere. Since it really helped me return to stock and allow me to re root in about 15 minutes this thread should be moved but there is no stratosphere area
HI im very new to rooting and decided i wanted to try it because i wanted to get something close to stock android on my phone since im not the biggest fan of lg's skin and i love stock android. I rooted got a custom recovery installed and everything was going fine. than i was having problems getting any rom to actually instal. I was looking it up online and saw a couple threads saying to update the version of my recovery. So i did that and now i cant get into recovery it just sits at a black screen. Once its there i can restart the phone and get back to the normal phone but i want to get recovery back so i can continue trying to get a new ROM. Please help :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
