Bricked? Stuck on boot screen (where fibres come into make the X)

Hi all.
Followed the guide on here:
http://androidandme.com/2010/01/hacks/video-how-to-unlock-and-root-a-nexus-one/
Rooting wasnt a problem, installing the RA wasnt a problem.
It took awhile to get the phone detected in windows through the USB Debugging mode.
Flashed it using the update-cm-5.0-N1-beta3-signed update.
Now its stuck on the screen thats flash ....
Just keeps doing it over and over. WTF is happening?
Any ideas please.
Thanks

Dont know how to.

Ok detailed instructions.
You rooted and loaded Amon's recovery.(clearly being you flashed beta 3).
Did you Nandroid back up before you flashed as the directions said?
If so, you can simply restore that. and Phoen should be good.
If not,
boot back into Amon's recovery. Hold down volume thing as you click power, to get bootload, then scroll to recovery..
In Amon's recovery, you need to Wipe, Then flash Cyan's beta 3 which should be located on the top level of you SD card.
IN future. ALWAYS do Nandroid backup. I'm new, but when i screwed up i could just restore really easily. Avoided alot of pain/stress that way.

If you still end up having trouble, we can chat via some instant messenger or something.

Using Amon's RA, there are a list of options, one of them is "wip", open that up and it will give you a list of things to wipe. You will want to "wipe data", "wipe dalvik-cache" and "wipe ext"... then, go to SD card and repair your ext.
Now would be a good time to add in an ext file to your SD card if you want to use apps to SD card... you cand do that in Amon's recovery as well under the SD option, just select "partition SD card FAT32, ext2" and follow the insturctions... then I would recommend selecting the "upgrade ext2 to ext3" option afterwards.
Once you have done all the wiping, partitioned your SD card, do 1 more "wipe data" for good measure, then flash CM's 5.0 beta, then flash the google apps pack, then reboot and you should be good to go.

I just lol'd.

I didnt see the Wipe option under flash from SD thats all

if you dont wipe first before installing new rom then this will happen to you.
i had the same problem and i wiped it and re-installed and it worked perfectly
theres a "wipe" option when you in the recovery boot image

Its all ok now. I got worried and flashed standard rom back using 'fastboot flash system system.something'
Then it booted fine, so turned off. Went into the bootloader, then down to recovery and saw 'Wipe'
Haha

haha, i am curious to know if anyone has managed to brick their N1 yet?

serious force closes with everything

more problems
everytime i boot into my phone, no matter what ROM, i get loads and loads of force closes, everything force closes pretty much
i cannot do anything because of them, anyone know how i can possibly fix this?
i think my phone is slowly dieing after all these problems i have had, but someone might be able to help
have tryed hard reset, factory reset, none work

[Q] Bootlooping back to recovery after restoring nandroid backup

I am in a really bad spot, my Shift is stuck in a boot loop.
Before this happened, I booted into recovery, made a new backup, and then booted back up, mounted the sd card, and copied a previous backup into the folder. Rebooted into recovery and restored the backup from a couple weeks ago that I just copied over.
Now the phone wont boot, I get a buzz and the white HTC screen, then black, then back to the starting buzz again and the white HTC screen again, then back to recovery.
I've searched through this forum, but I didn't see anything that sounded like a similar problem. What could have happened?
I would just RUU back to factory and re-root, but I can't get the phone booted to a high enough state for the RUU to work.
Any ideas? I really need to get this figured out before work tomorrow.

I have tried flashing the latest version of ClockworkMod Recovery, that didn't seem to help
I was on 2.5.1.8 and now CWM is 3.0.1.4
I tried reflashing the engineering hboot, that didn't work either
I can't get a logcat
I've also tried reflashing the original hboot, I see the switch to S-OFF, but that doesn't change the bootloop
Have I bricked my phone?!!
How could restoring a nandroid do that?!!
I was finally able to run the RUU using fastboot, I'll update once it completes
Edit: Ok, so using Fastboot and running the RUU I was able to get back to a working bootable state.
This time I'm going to try out the guide from the CM wiki http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Evo_Shift_4G:_Full_Update_Guide

IF you could get into fastboot you could have accessed recovery. Could you not do anything there?

Nope, I would get put into recovery on every boot attempt, and couldn't get past it.
Also, I think there are some errors in the steps over on the CM wiki, so I don't recommend anyone try that process until it gets corrected.

Tried that multiple times, always got kicked back to recovery. Even tried wiping each partition individually. Had to RUU to factory then start over, thankfully I had just finished a complete Titanium Backup of my system, so everything was waiting for me on my sd card.

Yeah I'm not sure you know what recovery is....recovery is clockwork 3.0.1.4 which clears data cache makes backups and flashes roms themes mods tweaks....bootloader is the white screen that shows s-off and if you use the volume keys and power button you could have booted into recovery and wiped your data cache and dalvik cache than fresh flash instead of unrooting

right now neither, because I've just finished up re-rooting after RUU
I was picking reboot system, and it would go through the start of a boot cycle, but then die prior to the 4G boot animation starting and then start back over but kick me back into recovery.

[Q] Is there any way to remove MIUI from my phone?

I have MIUI on my phone, but I don't really want it anymore. Is there any way that I can get my phone back to how it was?

Wipe and flash a new ROM. If you need to ask how, don't. It sounds like you need to do some serious reading first.
If you've managed to root, wipe, and flash MIUI, you should be capable for re-wiping and flashing something else.

Maybe he/she bought the phone with it that way. In which case, do nothing until you read read read.

They are right. You need to read for your own good.
That said, do you have a custom recovery? I would assume so. Before you do anything, make a backup in recovery.
Next, go to the development section for this device and find a ROM you really like. Learn about the differences between AOSP, Sense, and MIUI ROMs.
When you have chosen and downloaded a ROM, reboot into recovery again. Wipe cache, system, boot, and data partitions. Finally do a wipe data/factory reset. At this point all you have on your device are the bootloader and recovery.
Go to install zip from SD card and search for the ROM you downloaded. Install it. Reboot and wait. First boot always takes longer.
If boot is unsuccessful, boot back into recovery, wipe, and flash the backup you made.
Understand that I am merely trying to be helpful. I make no guarantees, but wrote these instructions to be nice. If your phone bricks, bursts into flames or implodes and creates a singularity that engulfs the planet, I am in no way responsible.
Got it?

Install new ROM via CWM. it's easy, just try. I think VU 2.39 is the best choice for you.

Yes. I just went from MIUI to Febs ICS beta 5.0.
I downloaded the ICS beta (you can pick whatever ROM you want from the Android mytouch dev section). Mounted my phone for USB storage, transferred the ICS Beta.zip to the phone then unmounted it.
Then in MIUI when you hold the power button down, it should give you the option to reboot into recovery or you can use ClockworkMod to do it.
I did option A) rebooted into recovery through power off feature in the MIUI. Then you go down to backup, make a backup. Then you wipe cache and wipe data. Go to advanced and I believe you can wipe dalvik(sp?) cache under the advanced setting.
Then you go to install from sdcard and then scroll down to your zip.file.
Then boom let it install. then when it says install complete you press the back button, click reboot and BAM you will be off MIUI and on whatever ROM you chose.
I would take everyone's advice on here to go read everything you can. I made this post hoping you have some knowledge of flashing and all that jazz. Let me know if you need any help.

What were you running before MIUI?

Wildfire stuck on bootloop

Hi all
I have a Wildfire that had Cm7, was rooted and s-offed. As Im selling the phone i thought it would be a good idea if I reset to factory, ready to be sold. However it has now given me a problem.
I reset to factory by clearing the storage on the hboot screen, and now when i turn on the phone it stays on the boot animation. I can get top the hboot menu, but im now stuck.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Have you tried reinstalling CM7/Sense ROM?

No,
Are the steps the same as a normal install?

Yes.
Sent from my Ainol Novo7 Elf using xda premium

Did you factory reset to remove your personal data or to try get back to sense? You should always factory reset in recovery to avoid these problems. Also it wont return sense, need a stock rom or a ruu for that

I thought when i was doing it, it would just delete all the apps and stuff, so it would be a brand new phone but with cm7 installed.
Ill try and reinstall cm7 and see what happens..........

Right, update
I've followed this http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Wildfire:_Full_Update_Guide#Method_via_Recovery and on step 5, i've selected - Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.
and now teh screen hasnt moved for about 10 minutes, its on the screen where there is a top hat and yellow arrow...........
help.....

press the power button again then use the trackball. to select everything in cwm.
Also I'm not 100% as I've never cleared storage from hboot but doesn't that wipe your SD card?
if so you may have wiped some files needed by the phone so you may need to reinstall Cm7 or whichever rom, not just factory reset.

No, didn't include gapps, i'll do that and see what happens when I get home
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA

pretty sure you need gapps for setup to work

Recommended Solution (by me):
(suppose u want "clear setup" of CM7 stable)
Prepare your SD
Wipe off everything
Copy setup files
download.cyanogenmod.com/get/stable/gingerbread/update-cm-7.1.0.1-buzz-signed.zip
download.clockworkmod.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
Get out the SIM card
Boot to recovery
Wipe phone storage
In recovery go to mounts and storage
Unmount /cache
Format /cache, /data, /system
Go back, then to the advanced and Reboot Recovery
"Install" OS
Back in recovery go to install zip from sdcard/choose zip from sdcard
First install update-cm-7.1.0.1-buzz-signed.zip
Then gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
And finally Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
Go back, and power off
Now u re in state "like from the store", that mean that OS is not really installed, there re just files copied and real installation will run on frist boot
Unfortunately, theres a catch
Theres problem with CM7 installation and it can face the problem with GPS
First boot will pop-up "market like" window with all Google apps, my recommendation is to wait, dont install anyting, dont click on anything, just wait, it will disapear... u can safely install them later from the market..

You don't really need the su.zip, since CM7 comes pre-rooted.

That's a good plan, but with 2 drawbacks ... 1 you don't need to flash su. Might break stuff since cm7 is pre rooted. 2 what if something else went wrong and he hasn't booted the phone to check? Then sells, unaware of it being damaged. Buyer comes back angry, ect ect aside from that good tut

sorry but u re wrong.. it cant break anything.. its just update.. in CM7.1.0.1 is SU 3.0.6 u can safely update it to 3.0.7 (i do it every time like that..)
Edit: sure guys... u dont have to do that... u can do it later from market... u will be prompt to do that... lol ....its defenetly better way install app like that from market rather than from recovery...
(both ways works in this case, anyway my logic says me that is better install crucial apps like that from recovery..)

..thats exactly why i mentioned point 7.
he have to decide what will be his next step..
if he decide to boot and try it out he will have to login to wifi, login to google account (to download Maps or GPS status) etc.. etc.. it will NOT be clear any more..
...it really depends on who is the buyer... does he know him ? can they do that together wiht buyers account, etc..
...because i dont know this dependencies i leave it open.......

Get out the SIM card

Format /cache, /data, /system
Go back, then to the advanced and Reboot Recovery
"Install" OS
Back in recovery go to install zip from sdcard/choose zip from sdcard
First install update-cm-7.1.0.1-buzz-signed.zip
Then gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
And finally Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
Go back, and power off
Now u re in state "like from the store", that mean that OS is not really installed, there re just files copied and real installation will run on frist boot
Unfortunately, theres a catch
Theres problem with CM7 installation and it can face the problem with GPS
First boot will pop-up "market like" window with all Google apps, my recommendation is to wait, dont install anyting, dont click on anything, just wait, it will disapear... u can safely install them later from the market..
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks alot, followed it and all is working including GPS
