Hi everybody!
I'm trying to buy a used Nexus One, good price, but the owner claims that the phone "continuously reboots to "X" screen." but that IT can be fixed flashing the rom.
Is it true?
I'm reading on the internet that having the nexus one loop rebooting is a somehow common problem, and people got it fixed flashing the rom, or by moving some shifted pins on the battery. Do you guys think it's something reparable? Everybody that had this issue solved it? Or I risk that the phone is actually broken, and I might be buying a phone that I will not be able to use?
Thanks!
fastboot
just check for fastboot. the rest is easy cheeze.
how much is a good deal ?
unlocked $300 (cad)
What should I check? Instruct me plz, I never had a nexus one or even a Droid phone before ... (coming from 2 years old HTC cruise, with WM 6.5 with an XDA rom ....)
If I meet the guy, how to I check that hes not selling me a bricked nexus lol ?

are you 100% ?
I dont mind working on it, I just want to make sure that it is reparable via software/roms.
ppl plz tell yours, im just about calling this guy, really dont wanna waste $300
what is its restarts so much, that I cant flash the rom or something? there's no way that that could be the case, right?
sold ... goddamit lol But I'll get one one way or another
I was having this happen to me a lot. I moved in to a new place with no cable or internet yet, so my N1 was under extremely heavy use. And when it was warm, it would get both the touch screen problem and the random reboots.
I was using pershoots 2.35 Kernal. I went back to the stock kernal and the phone has since been running a lot cooler. Zero reboots, touch screen responds correctly. I take the stock kernal stability over an OC kernal any day.
It's a kernel issue that can most likely be fixed by flashing a new
ROM/Kernel, however there is always a small chance that it is triggered by faulty hardware.
My Nexus had this Problem Was unfixable by software. Hardware defect. I wouldn't buy.
Still waiting for my swap unit
i had a friend with a similar problem. He rooted the phone with the 1-click root app from the market, he then installed ROM manager from the market and try to flash Cyanogen mod ROM, afterward the phone went black. The only thing happen to the phone now is the X screen and its keep boot loop. I tried went to fastboot, works fine, then I tried to go to Recovery but it restart right afterward!!!
Now how am I suppose to wipe, or flash new rom without getting into the recovery? I got to fastboot and plugged in the USB cable and tried to ran terminal but it was unsucessful. I tried to copy some new files to the phone via adb command but keep getting the error "BootMagic failed".
Any help?

all is not lost if you can still get into hboot:
Have you tried to restore these original files via adb?
boot boot.img
recovery.img
system.img
I have this problem now...
It keeps on rebooting and rebooting ... and just comes not forther than the flashing X..
I tried system wipe but this didnt help ( I installed a battery widget which wasn't for my rom)
how can i restore my nexus now?
Pleas help!
Edit: Found a way...
Unlock you phone, fastboot, clockworkmod(?) recovery and the select the nandroid backup...
about passimg (see lower) i have no clue
passimg FRG33...

Even though solved, something to keep in mind: Its probably a ROM (or kernel issue as they said), but I had a revolving X due to a bad battery too.
it can be solved

4 color problem can be solved ..
So here's my problem, my vibrant stopped charging the other day. I need to flash back to stock 2.1 in order to get a replacement. Since my usb port isn't working I need a cwm version of stock 2.1, I searched and to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I think you can find a nandroid backup in the development forum....restore that in. recovery...then while you are still in recovery...flash the stock kernel as well because nandroid doesn't restore the kernel...after done just do a factory reset and your good to go. You can find the files by doing a simple search for jfd nandroid in the development forum...
You could flash stock ka6 2.2 froyo...but you can't trust tmobile workers to know that official 2.2 is released via kies. They might day that the phone was hacked and the warranty is now void
Please remember to hit thanks if I helped.

Is it the USB port, or is it the cable? My Samsung provided cable was bad. I thought it was the phone. When I switched to a higher quality Blackberry cable, everything charged great again.

I got the cable problem too. Luckily I had bought two backup cables, unfortunately shorter, but that made the difference.
Ok I have a big problem here and need help fast... I rooted my Kindle quite awhile ago and installed a IcS rom.. It worked perfectly...i had back ups for the Stock and ICs rom on TRWP so I got a new rom Ics with kernel 3.0 or something... flashed it worked perfectly...... but i went to flash it again in Twrp i went to WIPE and did factory reset but SOME how i clicked Sd card it removed everything I was very very scared.......I go back to restore nothing is in there i go to install everything is gone Idk what to do how am i gona get a rom in here to flash please help me... i dont wanna lose my kindle fire
I bricked a kindle fire pretty bad but was still able to get a working rom on there after using firekit and the usb boot mode trick. Was able to install firefirefire and twrp using ubuntu on a usb stick and some motherboard shorting. I'm still waiting for my factory cable to arrive in the mail but found this trick while waiting.

Usb boot mode trick:

Was pretty scary because I accidentally touched a paperclip to a power source and caused a spark on the kindles motherboard but apparently nothing was damaged. Just make sure you stay away from the ribbon cable below the shorting point.
This is a last resort for when you can't even adb shell into your device.

I'm sure you've figured out by now that you've deleted everything on your /sdcard partition. What you need to do now is "format" that area again. You can do this in one of two ways...
1) Use TWRP's Mount -> Mount USB Storage feature to get mount onto your computer's OS. It will ask you to format... you should be OK after that.
2) If that doesn't work out for some reason, you'll have to use parted to "make filesystem" which is just "format" in linux-speak...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424784
You can follow the directions in there to get it done, but it might ask a couple of times what partition and what filesystem type you want. It's always going to be 12 and fat32 for those questions. Don't mess with anything but partition 12. Type "quit" to get out of the "parted" program.
If you don't know how to use adb, read the posts in this guide...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552547
I suggest you read it from the beginning, but the information you need is mostly located in the 3rd post.
Hey, I said it was a last resort. I probably should have waited for the factory cable but i'm impatient. It all worked out though.
It should have just reformatted the sdcard partition. Try to mount usb from twrp and copy a Rom to flash.

The shortest recommendation (the one above), is the right one.
I don't know wth tombombman was talking about, that relates nothing to a formatted SD card
TRY to find the smallest possible OS install in megs. It'll increase the likelihood that a SD card data recovery program might be able to find your old backups, should it NOT be overwritten by any new data that's created on the SD card.
today ive got my new tmobile g2. first think i did is to root and install twrp . ive downloaded custom rom and i made i mistake by wiping everything in twrp. And i dint know that i cant mount internal sdcard on my pc in twrp. now im stuck on twrp and bootloop. and cant install LGMLauncher i comes to the 75% and get stock on win 7 64 bit. please help i have no idea what to do now. any way i can mount internal sd card twrp or other solution ? thanks in advance
Sorry mate, I cant help you, Im just wondering why people chose TWRP over CWM recovery? TWRP seems.. Very risky. Wiping everything, breaking on OTAs, etc.
Wouldn't it be safer to go with CWM, assuming its out for your version though?
Didn't even bother with the stock rom huh??
It's such a nice rom too.
LG G2
I think your best bet will be getting ADB installed and get it working on your PC. You should be able to send the file via ADB (command-line) and have it flash while TWRP is running.
Help out google search: "adb push in twrp"
I also disagree with SweStag's opinion about TWRP. It's not worse or risky, just more geared toward a power user. I switch to it when they first got their Touch Recovery interface and I haven't looked back to CWM yet.

here is the guide to install cwm. this is also what i use. twrp has never worked right for me in the past, you may be able to install the cwm recovery image through your pc

This worked for another person in a similar situation (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2492911):
Buy a usb otg cable and use a thumbdrive or better, get a microusb thumbdrive like this one:
http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...Una2lIDP2w&t=1
Place the image of whatever ROM and mount it?
Or, by connecting the cable mentioned above it would allow you to get into download mode and then heading in this direction: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2471370
Good luck!
So I moved onto a new phone once I screwed up my phone a couple months ago, but if I can save it in a way that would be cool. Basically right now it has no os and no backup, but I can still go to twrp. I had issues with the usb being recognized to my computer even when the phone worked, I don't believe I can get my computer to see my phone, even though it charges though it. Doesn't help that the usb port is loose. So I just wanna see if there is any way I can get my computer to see my phone to get it running again.
hav u tried changing the usb port on the phone and or use different cable or pc!!!

Like try to take the phone apart and replace it? No, I did try various cord on two pcs, no dice.
You will have to ADB Fastboot and then flash a ROM
what about a USB otg drive? load up OS files and flash from TWRP
I suppose that is the last thing to try, I'll order one today.
If you can get your 6P to recognize a USB-OTG device after mounting OTG in TWRP then you can save a ROM and GAPPS to your OTG device and flash it from TWRP.

Update
So I got my otg-usb was able to see the storage device in recovery. However I was having trouble flashing a rom, well more specifically I couldn't flash a vendor img. But eventually I installed the latest twrp, and was able to install a vendor img and rom, and I was able to get it running I'm so happy!! Thank you for the otg suggestion,I thought this phone was a paper weight.
