Hi,
After trying to fix the problem of the phone not recognizing the sdcard, I rebooted my N1 and sadly it didn't boot. I was stuck at the X icon forever. I then tried to boot into recovery mode but it was tuck again. Is my phone bricked? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Sorry, I fixed the recovery mode issue by following this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1097922.html. However, it still doesn't boot. Since the phone doesn't recognize the sdcard (I haven't solved it yet), I can't flash new rom. Any idea about how to flash new rom without sdcard?
Br,
Given you can use fastboot from your computer:
fastboot -w (to wipe phone)
fastboot update </path/to/your/rom.zip>
Pretty sure thats all you need to do.

Thanks. I finally solved sdcard issue with help from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-636651.html (not regconize sdcard). Once sdcard is ready, reflashing the rom is simple.

I've been reading up about what to do after I tried to "factory reset" my phone and then was stuck at the htc start up soon, which kept looping.
I've been trying to load recovery.img during fastboot (back+power) and then to apply update.zip during recovery (home+power).
However, the problem is that during fastboot, the device isn't recognized (when I go to adb devices on command prompt, no device is listed). I know that my drivers are good bc the device is found when I start up in the recovery mode. I tried to skip the part where I load recovery.img (since when I try to do that, it tells me that it can't be loaded), and to go straight to apply update.zip, but then the phone tells me that update.zip is either bad or can't be mounted.
I have a Rogers Magic (32A). I am a complete newbie, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I should also say that before I tried to do the factor reset, the phone was on the hero rom loaded by a previous user.
try this:
boot in recovery:
fastboot boot recovery.img
then, push update.zip on your sd card ( need a good rom in the tools folder on your computer)
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push update.zip /sdcard
and apply update.zip with the recovery menu.
thanks for your reply, but it didn't work:
first, it said "cannot load recovery.img"
and then when I tried to mount, it said "mount: mounting dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /sdcard failed: Device or resource busy"
replace recovery to correct path to your recovery image. (your phone mut be in fastboot mode power with back button pressed)
ex:
fastboot boot c:\sdk\tools\recovery-RAv1.2.1G.img
then your phone must boot on recovery and you could push update.zip
thanks so much. I figued it out - just a simple problem of the update.zip file being corrupt.

Hi. My magic is having the same issues. Although I believe it is my own doing. I was going to create a gold card and I flashed the sappimg.zip, I can boot the phone into fastboot but it us not seen, when I run the fast boot command it just says waiting on device..
I can boot the phone up normally but it does not want to connect to the market our link my gmail account to it..
All to jailbreak... Any ideas?
Edit....
I must have had a poor internet connection last night. I have got the market working.

I am having the same problem.
I have a 32b on vodafone uk.
all the device adb drivers have installed fine. I have tried this on both my laptop and desktop (win 7) and when the phone is turned on - it shows fine under adb devices.
When i boot to fastboot, the phone doesnt show, and therefore i cannot load a custom rom.
Trying to root the phone I have so far used the goldcard method to downgrade to get back to 1.5, if i try to flash the recovery img from the phone (using flash rec) then when i boot to recovery (home+power) it hangs on the vodafone screen - this is why i wont to flash from fastboot.
any ideas?
Thanks
phone rooted?
FlashRec is out of date, I'm pretty sure. Is your phone rooted already, or are you at stock?
I tried searching but im still having trouble....
I have the Mytouch 3G and ive been running Cyanogen since 4.1. I did the upgrade to 4.2.1 with no problems. Today the browser randomly started force closing so I rebooted and now its stuck in a loop. The mytouch splash screen comes up for about 10 seconds and then reboots. It won't let me get into recovery mode but I can get into fastboot mode.
I downloaded the SDK and installed the driver so that I could use fastboot but when I click the fastboot.exe it comes up for a split second and then disappears.
Any help would be appreciated, or any other solutions than what im trying to do.thanks
EDIT: I'm dumb. im using command prompt and trying to boot the cm recovery image now. I used "fastboot boot cm-recovery-1.4.img" and it seems to be stuck on "downloading 'boot.img'"
anyone? please?
Fastboot isn't working at all, maybe because I didn't having debugging enabled before? I tried following the steps at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547133 but i can't make a gold card following that tutorial and it didnt work with just a regular SD card
Can someone please help? Am I posting in the wrong section?
what happens if you turn it off and then boot into recovery?
Do you have apps2sd? swap?
BTW: to use fastboot you dont click it you use it as a line command... eg. fastboot boot amon1.2.2.img
I forgot to mention that I'm not able to boot into recovery, but I am able to boot into fastboot mode. When I use fastboot to try and load something to the phone, I get a "remote: failed" message.
I don't have any special partitions on my sd, and I hadn't changed anything on the phone besides upgrading to 4.2.1 the day before.
Bump. Anyone else?
I was running ParanoidAndroid perfectly until it crashed and not it gets stuck at the loading screen of the ROM (not the Google logo). I'm able to turn it off and get into Bootloader. From there if I choose Recovery mode, it gets stuck at Google logo.
If I plug it into the PC while in booatloader, it gets detected as "Android" but no driver (I'm sure I installed it before with the Toolkit). Toolkit just won't detect the device anymore, keeps getting stuck at the <waiting for device> command.
If I plug it into the PC while stuck at the ParanoidAndroid loading screen, I see MTP and Nexus in Device Manager but w/o drivers.
What can I do now? Any input is appreciated.
Thanks.
Bump.

Have you tried fastboot from the bootloader? Try this(assuming Windows):
-copy your recovery image of choice to your fastboot folder on your PC.
-boot to the bootloader with usb connected.
-open cmd window and navigate to fastboot folder
-type: fastboot boot insertrecoverynamehere.img
It should boot into the recovery from there. Make sure it's the same recovery you used for your latest backup.
Edit: I just read the subject line saying fastboot didn't work. Odd that it would just stop working from the bootloader like that. Have you tried manually updating the driver? Or maybe adb when it recognizes the device as MTP?

Thanks for the suggestion, but I figured out the problem. I'm such a dumbass. I forgot that last time I did this on a friend's computer. Apparently, the toolkit doesn't work properly on Windows 8 64-bit... (at least not on mine). I plugged it into a friend's laptop running W7 and was able to flash recovery again. Smooth sailing from there. Wonder what corrupted recovery.

I've never been able to cold boot my recovery - only through the goomanager app(for TWRP). I believe it's a known bug. I can only boot recovery from the bootloader when my N7 is plugged into my laptop via usb. Power or another laptop don't count. Oddly enough, It also works if I plug it into my Galaxy Nexus via USB+OTG.

Hm, perhaps that was the problem? But I was able to cold boot into recovery after reflashing TWRP... Anyhow, I'm glad I didn't have to restore a recovery image as I haven't made a backup since the last PA update

It worked for me only once after reflashing the recovery. Never again after that. Hopefully it gets fixed soon, but until then, I carry my USB cables with me if I'm flashing new roms

The only things i get is fastboot but undetectable :/
I would like to know what to do for getting my phone resetted to a cyannogenmod rom.
Regards.

Did you check your Volume Buttons? Had this Problem with a friends OPO where the Volume Button was bent and so the Phone only booted to Fastboot.

solved accidentally. what i did was typed fastboot boot OP2_recovery .img (not in the fastboot mode but at the stuck boot logo mode). i don't know how the img went in but that was the way saved my opt from bricked. anyhow, thank you for the reply
so there I was in my car, my phone plugged in via aux cable and playing some music
suddenly I notice the music stops and my phone goes into a reboot,
I was using a pure nexus rom on marshmallow ( the latest marshmallow one i believe) and had xposed, and sometimes my phone would randomly reboot,
it was annoying but I could live with it
so i thought it was having another one of it's moment
but now it doesn't actually reboot,
my phone is stuck in a reboot loop and I can't even get into recovery mode, (I had TWRP installed and could boot into it numerous times before this)
anyone have any ideas?
I've installed twrp via fastboot
but I can't use the adb command to boot into recovery since device is not found,
when i try
adb devices
the list is empty,
and yes I've installed the latest google drivers via android studio
I've installed hi-suite
someome please help

Hi... You can't use adb commands while in bootloader... Only fastboot commands. Use the volume rocker till you see recovery mode displayed and press power button. If it still bootloop, try formatting cache and data with fastboot in bootloader and reboot in recovery again. If it still bootloop. Finally try fastboot flash a stock Google image. If none of these steps work, your phone is probably dead and you'll have to try to RMA your N6P.

First try:
fastboot format cache
fastboot format userdata
If the above doesn't solve your issue it's probably dead...

Fastboot flash-all.sh is for Mac computers so presumably you have a Mac. Flash-all.bat is for windows. You need to unzip the Google image and move everything into the same folder where you have the fastboot program. Just open a command prompt window inside that folder and type the command. That's how I do it in Windows. Presumably the process is similar with a Mac. You will still have a zipped archive after you unzip the Google image but you want to leave that one as is. So far flashing flash-all.bat has gotten me out of every boot loop I've gotten into on my 6P but my phone never spontaneously bootlooped. I was always doing something (updating a rom, trying to restore a nandroid backup) that resulted in a bootloop. The fact that your phone boot looped without warning is probably a bad sign. If you still have warranty I would try to flash stock and see if you can RMA phone. If that isn't possible you might want to try staying on stock or using a different rom and seeing if the random reboots still occur. Good luck.
Well that really sucks. Sorry for your loss but it is a long running phone failure problem. I'm on my second 6P because this. Even worse to me is the fact your were running almost the exact same setup I am now. I refrained from running 7.x.x to try and minimize my chances of another BLOD so now w4on knows what to do. Lol
