I am trying to change into CyanogenMod-5 for Nexus One.
I've unlocked the bootlader and installed Amon_RA's recovery image.
Also I copied the ROM to my sdcard and wiped before I tried to flash.
The trouble only appears when I have to reboot into recovery mode. When I press recovery the start up X sign appears but only to be followed by the little andriod man next to a !warning sign.
What am I doing wrong?

Redownload and flash the recovery image.
Have tried a couple of times (well that was with the same download but is said "OKAY" every time).

I think you have to hold down Volume up and power button or volume down and power button. One of these two should fix it for you.
When I do that i come to this screen
IT only says something like:
Reboot system now
apply update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
E:Can't open/cache/recovery/command
It's working EXACTLY like this for me...
Unfortunately it "should" work fine when using Fastboot, but won't work from Recovery directly via the bootload.
In other words... Try to do the "Fastboot boot recovery.img" and see if you have success... Mine works perfectly well when done this way. (Note: Use the proper file you have for the recovery image... I'm assuming you know how to properly run Fastboot?)

That looks like the original recovery, are you sure you installed the amon_ra recovery correctly??
Well I followed this guide
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_Nexus_One_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
and it did says OKAY on my PC. But I'm not really sure how it is supposed to look when it's been installed.
So I redownloaded everything a I got the phone rooted and had no problem installing the new ROM and addon. But now my Nexus one i stock doing this over and over again
Forgot to wipe berfore...
NOW IT WORKS PEFECT!
Thank you so much
Yep, make sure you make a nandroid backup. And whenever you have a bootloop its most likely that you forgot to wipe.
Cheers!

No, its not you can make a backup whenever you want. In my situation I did a backup of Cyanogen 5.0.2 with all my apps and settings and another one of MoDaCos Desire rom so it basically takes me 3 minutes to switch between roms
Hello. I just received my OTA notification, but when I clicked it, it rebooted and landed my on the TWRP recovery screen. Not knowing what to do, I just told it to reboot to the system.
Once rebooted, I was still on 4.2.1, and there was no update.
Any ideas why it booted to TWRP?
The OTA update requires stock recovery in order to be flashed. I recommend you just flash the update manually using fastboot, and you won't lose data.

Maybe before you even answer, I'm sure I'll find a link on here to show me how?
One issue I have though, is that when I manually updated to 4.2.1 on my Nexus 7, I still got an OTA update a few days later, that actually ran.
I don't ever plan on flashing roms to any of my devices. Do I need to keep a custom recovery on my Nexus 4 or 7? If not, how to I revert back to the stock recovery?
If you saved the offical stock 4.2.1 images, to revert back to stock recovery, just use the 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.**************.img' command. If you haven't, you might have to flash the whole 4.2.2 rom which you can find on the google dev website. After this, if you only want to root then you don't need to flash a custom recovery, just use the 'boot' command instead of the 'flash' one.

How did you do that? Did you sideload wrinkle's file from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848?
I should let you know, that while I'm not afraid to install via the custom recovery, it doesn't mean I've done it via commands. I've always used toolkits, or one click methods of rooting and installing custom recoveries.
Well, this is crazy (weird?). I tried to flash it via TWRP by downloading the zip file in the thread referenced above, and it failed. By flashing, I mean, I chose 'Install' and pointed to the zip after moving it to my phone. After failing, I wiped the Dalvik cache and rebooted, and it's telling me 'Android is upgrading'. If it means it updated, so be it. But can anyone explain? Feeling a little confused here.
Edit: Ok, so it said it was upgrading, but it's still 4.2.1.

It 'upgrades' when you wipe the cache. It just means it's rebuilding the cache. Are you running an unmodified stock rom? Custom kernel?

Yes, stock rom, rooted and unlocked. I did install Beats today. Could this be the problem? If so, I found a revert zip that I'm assuming is supposed to revert me back to stock audio codecs.
I don't think added files matter, but I'm guessing the Beats mod has overwritten something in system, so flash the revert zip, then try again.

Flashing the revert zip failed. I'm starting to think that flashing anything with TWRP will fail.
How about this. I made a backup of all system data + apps with Titanium earlier today. Could I just reset my phone back to factory defaults, restore my apps + some system data, then re-root (*without a custom recovery*) and wait for the update again? Or will it come again?
Also, I've used Wugfresh's Nexus Toolkit. I don't remember checking the custom recovery button, but ended up with TWRP anyway. What's the easiest way to root without installing a custom recovery?
You could try that, and the update will come straiht away. You can root without flashing a custom recovery, just use the 'boot recovery' instead of 'flash recovery'

Ok, I'm surely not afraid to use the command prompt. Any tutorials you can point me to? I probably already have all of the drivers I need, as the toolkit had to download install them.

The same thing happened to me. I was rooted running stock ROM with TWRP recovery (used wugfresh toolkit). The problem was I forgot I was using a modified kernel (for color correction) by molesarecoming. I flashed the stock kernel back, downloaded and flashed the OTA file from the help desk thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848&highlight=beats), and it worked. Oh, and I flashed the Superuser file immediately after the OTA did it's thing (while still in TWRP) to regain root. I didn't really like how after the initial failed install of the OTA, it took my into TWRP with no error message showing or anything.
I don't think TWRP is your problem -- I think beats is your problem. It may have modified something. Try searching the above-linked thread for answers. Honestly, there's no rush to get 4.2.2, so take your time finding the answer. It's better than wiping the phone just to install a small android update and having to redo everything on your phone again.
Ok, it must have been the Beats audio drivers. I restored a Nandroid backup from right before installing the beats audio drivers, then flashed the zip and it worked. Now running 4.2.2.
I would like to know, however, how to use fastboot via commands, so that I can learn how to flash TWRP, CWM, Stock recovery, etc.

I need some help here - I have nexus 7 with 3G and Google (takju) with 4.2.1 installed.
I had it 'rooted" and installed TWRP .
AT the time I followed instructions to chand extension of some file to .bak - to prevent 'unrooting"
I do not remember which file I unfortunately changed.
Now I cannot install the 4.2.2 upgrade - the OTA fails because it boots into TWRP and after that I rrid several selections from TWRP screen (flash, reboot, etc) - but all attempts failed.
I have the upgrade files (bot .tar and .zip) on /sdcard directory but have no idea how to update to 4.2.2.
Tried manual flashing using adb command - all fails.
I do not have beats drivers installed
Can someone tell me how to uninstall TWRP? If the CWM recovery works with this upgrade, I would like to change from TWRP to CWM.
Or any other suggestion wold be appreciated.
I am really struggling with Android operating system the way it configured on Nexus 7 by Google - any simplest is a major pain!
Hope I can get out of this and operate the device instead of continuously meddling with operating system.
Thanks in advance

if ur able to boot to recovery u can get it bak dont worry! just hold down power button and volume down till the device comes into fast boot. and if ur stuck at the logo and not able to shut down (by removing the battery on other phones) just hold down power button and volume down button for a while i think its 5 seconds but it could be a little more not sure. hold it down till u boot into fast boot and in fast boot u can shut it down or enter the recovery.
and since u say ur device is new n if u dont hav much data then u will be able to simple flash the stock rom and hav a fresh new device.
use this toolbox it'll help u do everything. but im not very sure u might loose all the data on it

If you can go into the bootloader, go to recovery and flash CleanROM or CM10.2 or even a 4.2.2 ROM. Seems to be your only option now. Also flash an appropriate kernel for the ROM right after the flash.
Try a dirty flash at first.
i can - it freeze on logo and reboot after pressing on power and volume

yes i can get into bootloader and recovery. and i hav a few questions...
1. if i flash another rom will my files on the virtual sd in the internal memory get wiped?
2. there is option for backup in TWRP recovery i can backup DATA SYSTEM CACHE and usb otg.
after flashing a new rom can i restore the backup for DATA and get bak the apps?
3. is there any way i can copy the files in the internal memory saved in the virtual SD to my comp or anywhere else through recovery or bootloader? 4. there is an option for factory reset in TWRP recovery which says it will clear data and wipe cache and will not clear internal data. i just want to be sure if the files in the virtual sd wont get deleted if i do this? and by using this factory reset option will i be able to fix the problem?

1. If by virtual sd you mean Internal Storage (the place where you copy files to normally via PC), no. It won't wipe anything there.
2. Although this is possible, it is highly discouraged.
3. From bootloader or recovery you can try adb pull to grab a backup of your sdcard's contents. Don't do this unless you are 100% sure you know what you are doing.

ok i shall avoid restoring backup of data. so ill factory rest it from twrp recovery? it should fix the problem right?
and by virtual sd i meant the internal storage where we copy files from the comp sorry i didnt know how to descirbe it...
and no im not so good at adb so ill avoid tht since u told nothing in the internal memory gets wiped
Go to TWRP>Wipe. And then just swipe. Don't try Advanced or Internal Storage or whatever there is. Should do the job.

im so sorry one last question. if i factory reset n restore only data to get bak the apps.. if it works well n good if it doesnt ill factory reset again.. but does restoring data cause damage tht could brick my device?
If you factory reset, only stuff in /data will get wiped (game saves etc.) Not your sdcard stuff though.
And restoring a data backup from a different ROM may lead to bootloops.

I have a big problem with my new I9505.
Today I flashed new CWM 6.0.3.6 and 4.3 GE Jamal Rom. After I flashed some mods for testing.
Then I wanted to install a clean rom, I formated in CWM every point (system, data, cache, sdcard, dalvik and dont know what else).
After I flashed again 4.3, now it do not boot. Stuck at Google boot animation.
I thought it will be fixed if I flash the stock rom via Odin (only PDA with I9505XXUBMGA_I9505OXABMGA_I9505XXUBMGA_HOME.tar.md5).
But now I stuck at Samsung Boot animation.
It is possible to boot into Recovery and Download mode.

Boot into bootloader (hold power and system on), flash the though recovery through adb, mount your .zip,, flash your .zip through recovery. Sorry if that doesn't make sense, I've been drinking with the roommates, lol.

The same thing happened to me also! The whole /data (incl. sdcard) partition went corrupt (showed up in TWRP as eemc instead of ext4) & the /vendor failed to mount.
First I had to repair the /data partition (unfortunately the data was lost, as it repaired to a blank partition). I ended up having to go home (was at work at the time) & hook the phone up to the PC & download the ROM & transfer it onto the sdcard. I'm not entirely sure why/how this happened, but I believe it was because a corrupt vendor IMG. Although that theory doesnt include why the /data partition corrupted, it only explains why the /vendor partition failed to mount.
Fastboot flash system system.img
?

I have the same issue. The problem is, that my computer will not recognize the phone in bootloader mode or in recovery mode(MTP enabled). How can install usb drivers without being able to boot into phone OS???? I've tried Nexus Toolkit with no success. Please help?
Have a look here how to load in bootloader, flash, etc.

So I did the same thing. I'm sitting in TWRP right now but have nothing on the phone. Will I be able to reboot from TWRP into the bootloader and just use the flash-all command to get my phone to boot back up, then just go through the process of custom recovery again?
Basically I'm worried about leaving twrp without an OS. I didn't wipe bootloader did I? Also, I tried to download a ROM and just drag it to internal memory, but I can't seem to add anything to the internal memory.

Hi... Just boot into recovery and reflash system.img from the factory image of your choice in bootloader with fastboot. Also flash the vendor image from the same factory image. Done...
Or reflash the whole package with flash all (manually is better imho). But you'll waisted time... Let your phone reboot into Android and you'll have your internal storage back.

Yes TWRP has a reboot to bootloader option available. So you can access fastboot via bootloader to flash the necessary images. Just don't forget to re flash TWRP image again in case the stock recovery image was flashed beforehand.
The odd thing was that I did choose that option to boot to bootloader in twrp and it didn't work. I ended up having to reboot to bootloader manually. Not a big deal. All is working now, but thought that was interesting.

I accidentally wiped the OS from advanced wipe option. How do I get my phone to work again. I tried to operate adb sideload from recovery but it failed. I have downloaded the stock rom but I do not know how to install it.

Exactly which partitions did you wipe? system? data? Internal Storage (userdata)? all of the above? Hopefully you did not wipe userdata (all your stuff). Were you on a stock ROM? You should be able to d/l the Google image from the same build you were on, extract system and data and fastboot flash those. Don't flash userdata. All your stuff should be there. Follow the tutorial on how to set up fastboot and selectively flash partitions.
