Nexus one hangs and freezes at startup.

Hey Guys
My Nexus one hangs at the startup screen and I can't seem to get it to start. So far, I have tried going into the quick boot screen and clearing the factory settings (i.e hard reset) but it did not change anything. I am bit out of ideas.

Did you do a nandroid, if so revert back to it and proceed forward from there.

sorry, I didn't do an nandroid. Can I do that now?

alright, I installed a recovery image and can enter the menu listed here.
Cyanogen's recovery source based on Amon_RA's post.
I restore the setting just fine but then when I reboot the phone still hangs. Is there another step I am missing? Is just having the recovery tool not enough? How do I restore the original settings?

same problem here did you manage to fix it ?

Same problem here. I have tried everything but I cant make it past the " X " - looking splash screen. If its of any help, the splash screen is STATIC.
Thanks in advance.

it almost sounds like either a bad flash or a bad wipe, if you made a nandroid, try resotring it. If you have not rooted or loaded any roms then the problem may be hardware side.

think the mobo is acting funny, i sent mines in for repair due to t his issue, but unlocked bootloader makes me pay $194..... im trying to figure it out before i pay as a last resort!

Stuck on mytouch sceen reboot loop help

So i tried to flash a rom like a normally do and i get stuck on the green screen.
I noticed now when flashing a rom is takes alot longer to flash then it usually did , i wiped pulled battery multiple times and still the same results. If i try to flash a froyo rom it will stay on the mytouch screen for a few secs and reboot to recovery mode on its own. every other rom just gets stuck and will not move. im limited to only recovery mode and Fastboot , are their any simple fixes that can be done and thanks in advance.

Have you tried fixing apk uids? I've also heard you can use the bootloader to do a more thorough wipe.
If I were in your situation I would apply sappimg to unroot and start over.

im fairly new so i only know how to flash roms . outside of that im pretty much clueless. I tried flashing a new radio & when it tells me to reboot to complete installation it says no more room or somthing like that. it does it really quick so i cant tell. Also how would i go about unrooting?
EDIT .. ok unrooted the phone and it seemed to have done the trick.

Glad you're still operational. Now you can retrace your steps and figure out where you went wrong. I also had to unroot and go back to Cupcake before I successfully completed my first rooting.
If you're just flashing ROMs, I would stay away from updating the radio unless the developer specifically says you should.

[Q] soft brick. oden flash but still nothing

I know there are alot of soft brick threads but so far none of the methods have helped me.
I installed bonix 1.6 w/ voodoo and it worked just fine. I didnt like it, so i went into rom manager and told it to flash my recovery that i did before the rom. well when it did this it failed half way through. when i rebooted the stock lock screen came up with the stock wallpaper. but then alot of force closes came up (im assuming because it didnt put everything back on the phone after fail).
I have tryed to flash stock roms, fryo 2.2, j16 roms and still nothing. when the phone boots after oden flash it goes through the bootup process and then goes to a blank screen. when i touch one of the buttons on bottom they all light up and stay on.
oh and i have stock recovery....
am i screwed? and thank you in advance for anything that is helpfull

Did you disable voodoo before flashing the recovery?

i disabled it before i flashed bonix but i didnt before i flashed recovery

anyone? anything?

check this thread out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782027
now go to "Did You Flash Something Before Disabling Voodoo? 2 Fixes to Help You Out."
And I recommend step 1 it won't take more than 20 minutes, been there, done that.

thank you!! worked great

[Q] NEED HELP!!! Boot/loading screen wont stop!!!

A few days ago my phone just started randomly flashing the boot screen. At the time I just thought it was annoying and was bogged down or something but would soon be gone.
But it hasn't!!
My phone is rooted with the gfree method and I was running this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401556
The problem is this: anytime I'm not giving my phone a command and the screen is about to timeout, the boot animation starts up and loads to the home screen. At that point I have a few as ones to unlock.it and use my phone which will work.just like normal or if I don't respond soon enough it will start over and flash it again.... It repeats.continuously. If a webpage is loading or I am backing up something and don't keep touching the screen it will stop.the task and go into this "continuous boot mode"...
I've wiped everything, tried other roms.... It does it right after the intial setup everytime and won't go away...

I believe you're answering yourself. If you wiped everything and flashed different ROMs, but problem persisted - it means that your phone is most likely faulty.

The question is, what other roms have you tried? I seem to get the same problems on sense 3.5 roms which is why i am not using them currently. If this is happening on a clean install of cm7 or miui as well as sense then you may genuinely have a problem.
Things to try: full wipe system/data/cache/dalvik/sdcard
reboot recovery after wipe to start clean. verify md5sum of the rom you are flashing to eliminate possibility of error. dont install any of your own apps for 1 to 2 days and then if you still have the problem then you may want to unroot and try to get a warranty exchange if at all possible. Good Luck!

Dumb question, but how exactly do I verify that?? And yes it does seem to be with all the 3.5 sense Roms so I tried miui and a sense 3.0... While that did eliminate that problem another unique one showed up...the market wouldn't download anything! No apps.. it would always say due to an error "(-101)"
Just for the record, I rooted it a few weeks ago and the miui and energy 3.5sense both worked fine for at least a week.. does that help in any way??

Well that's good to hear that it isn't happening on all roms. I usually fix the market problems by doing a data wipe and then force close it. Usually will start being able to download after a fc. To check the md5sum on a file download mand5 free from the market and check the file that way.

Got Stucked at Bootloader screen

I was rooting my device and was successful l in that. I flashed TWRP and Magisk and after that I decided to install a custom ROM. While going for it I again wiped the - Delvik Cache, System, Data and Cache. And when I tried installing that ROM it doesn't gets install. Moreover I can't boot into System anymore and now I'm stucked at the screen saying "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted." Also the screen is showing "ID:N/A"
So please please please help me with this problem ASAP. I can't use my phone now please and I regret for what I've done.

Try booting into fastboot mode. Hold down volume down and power for several seconds. If you can get there, you can flash the stock ROM and hopefully get back to normal. There are other threads that show you how to install. Make sure you use a version that is greater than or equal to what you last had installed.

When you installed a custom ROM your stock ROM was gone. That's how it works. But the reason you're stuck at the screen you're at, I don't know.
Restoring back to stock is the first thing I'd try to see if you can actually use your phone

Thanks for the information you provided regarding my problem. Now I've installed the Stock ROM and my dead phone is back to life. ?
