Hi guys,
first sorry for my bad english.
I have a big problem to face with my N1
I wish to install a custom ROM, so I've rooted my phone and downloaded the Rom Manager apps from Market. I've flashed the clockwork recovery and downloaded the cyanogenmod. So I reboot my phone in fastboot mode, select recovery and now I have a black screen, nothing happens. My phone boot only when I take off the battery, so now I have no Recovery mode in my phone. Someone can help me please ?
I've already tryed to flash the original recovery and AmonRA recovery (1.7.0 and 1.8.0) from my PC but it fails everytime and I have this message => FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
My N1 is in FRF91 build, with a Vodafone ROM from France (SFR)
The recovery is dependant on which screen you have. You've possibly flashed an incompatible recovery...
Which screen do you have?
How are you flashing your recovery?

Is the USB cable plugged in AT ALL? I keep hearing Clockwork is unstable if it is.
I stick with Amon myself.

I have an SLCD screen and i've tryed all clockwork recoveries featured in Rom Manager app and the latest AmonRA ( 1.8.0 )
But the problem is when i try to flash it with my PC by connecting the phone in fastboot mode, i allways have this message : FAILED (remote: signature verify fail) which means I can't flash any recovery :s
Do you know what is the problem ?
Sounds like you flashed an incompatible recovery. You're heading in the right direction with Amon-Ra 1.8.0...
How are you flashing the recovery? (Since your current recovery has a black screen, are you using adb, trying to do it through Clockworkmod, etc?)

Yeah i've tryed to flash the latest clockwork recovery with Rom Manager, it works, i mean i can flash it this way but i have the same result : black screen. And flashing it with my PC using - fastboot flash recovery <recovery name>.img - code give me the failure message that i talk about on my last post
I've read a few posts about 1.8.0 failing with Clockworkmod, and I believe the adb and terminal methods require an unlocked bootloader. There are a few methods to flash custom recoveries without unlocking the bootloader (I still have a locked bootloader). Do a search, find one you like, and give it a try. Clockworkmod is one of those methods, but again, I've read problems with the 1.8.0 recovery on Clockworkmod...

thanks a lot for helping me by sending this link but as I said before, unfortunately I can't flash the recovery even with my PC, the only solution seems to make a bootloader unlocking, but I don't want to loose the warranty, i'll check other ways to do this without unlocking my bootloader, if someone know how to do this, i'll be thankful.
The link also discusses how to flash without unlocking the bootloader, which is why I sent it... (see posts from September 27)

Yes but see what hapen when I try it =>
The locked bootloader discussion points to this, which suggests using terminal emulator from your phone...

thanks, I'm trying it immediately
...but with 1.8.0
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Sure ? Not with 1.8.0.1 ? Because I have an SLCD screen
I meant 1.8x instead of the 1.7x they mention in the write up...
Also, you can ignore my comment about using terminal emulator, and use adb if you want (long day, and I'm tired)

I surrender, it doesn't work, and I'm tired of trying flashing a recovery. It means no custom ROM for me :'(
Take a break, and come back to it tomorrow...

OK, back to basics...
What ROM do you have (build number)
Hi, so my build number is FRF91, I bought it from SFR (Vodafone)
Updated to 2.3.4 beta 4 and stuck in boot loop. Can't boot into CWM. Can boot into fastboot and android recovery but there is no update zipfile to update with...Can someone please help me?
Boot into RSD and use flash a sbf http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991072

Must have missed that part.....Thanks for the info. Thought my phone was going to be a new paper weight so it might be a while before I try out again.
Right, before i start, i tried posting in the development forum but i cant so here i am.
Basically, ive rooted my atrix with the super one-click method.
now im trying to install a recovery. Im trying romracer's cwm but the method described in various sources and here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
ive previously tried rom manager but i got stuck at failed to boot 2
i then tried tenfars but could only access the recovery if the phone was powered off then connected to mains power. so after a full wipe im back at stock trying romracers
system version:
45.31.2.mb860.t-mobile.en.gb
android version:
2.3.4
baseband version:
n_01.100.00r
webtop version:
wt-1.2.0-133_38
kernel version:
2.6.32.9
[email protected] #2
build number:
4.52a-74_ole-31.2
basically, how do i get rom racers installed with the moto-fastboot.
it just doesnt seem to work for me
Have you unlocked your bootloader? I'm pretty sure you need to do that first, then you should be able to use rom manager to install that recovery.
I don't have links as I'm out at the moment but I know with fastboot I flashed a recovery with about 4 simple commands.
Don't try this because I'm not sure and I'm taking a wild guess but I think the commands were something like this:
moto-fastboot erase recovery
moto-fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery-file.img
moto-fastboot reboot
I will confirm later but I'm sure your problem is that you need to unlock your bl.
Edit: also dev section would have been the wrong place but then again so is this, should have gone in q and a really.

ah right, well my understanding is that the bl was unlocked when the gingerbread update rolled out.
i shall give it a go though.
No my friend it wasn't you'll need to read up on unlocking bootloader and then you'll be able to flash your recovery easy peasy

Just followed this guide:

worked like a beaut
Hi,
I'm desperate! Problems startet when the phone (defy, green lense) could not be charged anymore. Always getting a question mark. Tried the original charger as well as third party charger.
Anyway, right now my recovery is screwed and I cannot boot the phone anymore!
How do I get out of this mess?
First I'd like to get recovery working, I guess. Have adb access but how do I flash a recovery via adb? Or better question where do I get the recovery image file? Cannot find any .img - always .zip files.
(I'd appreciate a solution that doesn't involve Windows)
You can't flash a recovery via adb, since boot loader on defy is locked. I suggest you read up on the beginner's guide and learn how to flash an sbf. Your phone will be then as it was out of the box

Damnit!
Worst custom rom phone ever..
Thanks!
Well, actually once you're rooted then installing a recovery is actually installing just an apk 2ndinit search for it once you've flashed an sbf
And we've got really good developers fortunately

The recovery must be a bad flash try to flash one of the following recovery in fastboot mode with a computer if you know how to do it, if not then try to flash with rashr app from playstore, download the recovery manually from the link below and then flash it with rashr by going into choose from storage accept the warnings... Done.
