[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickz41:
"can we get you to just fastboot mode on your phone, not ruu mode? as in when in ruu mode just

fastboot reboot-bootloader."

Second post of this morning and I thought it prudent to be certain you know the sequence here: 1) Unconnected, I am now powering on the device with 100% power. 2) Pushing the power button results in same old htc with errors screen. 3) Connecting the Nexus to the PC does not change the screen but I do a "ca-chunk" from the PC. It's from this point that I have accessed C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools where I've been successful in running all your suggestions in a command prompt but, and this may be significant, with the exception I of a "boot" or "reboot", ALL activity appears on the PC screen and not the device. 4) With the device connected and the USB is removed, then, and ONLY then does the white screen appear which is, as said, similar to yours pictured EXCEPT for the RUU at the bottom and the absence of recovery, etc.

Finally, in experimentation, I've noticed that the only real Applications that seem to do anything are RUU's that I've found on the net but they always result in ERROR 155 which could mean it is because the bootloader is off (at least what I've read). Then, the only way to power off the device (black or white screen) is to manually remove the battery then pour a Scotch and say, "let's go at this again tomorrow".

So, onto experimentation with the new commands you've provided. Many thanks again! :fingers-crossed:

And I mentioned a non responsive screen a bit back? "fastboot oem jump" caused a flurry of changes!! From the black htc/errors screen I got a light show worthy of Pink Floyd then the screen froze with staticy (if you understand) variants of color. I finally unplugged the phone from USB and removed the battery. It's powered off, waiting.... :confused:
