had used some custom roms and some applications, that have been troubling my phone even after i tried everything :

Flashed the stock rom

Flashed TWRP ( since no CWM available for my device )

Tried wiping every thing

No Progress

i really need this, to wipe my internal memory and get a clean new phone...the main issue is that some people are saying that the device doesnot have this bootloader mode so its not possible...may be they might be wrong...

Help please if u can...would really appreciate it!!!:good:

Please somebody help me. :'(

Anyone!!! :(

Please help me, i'm entirely in despair now with my HTC N1 phone.

This place or people from XDA are my only hope, and I wish was in the right place.

Here's my concern, At the first place my POWER BUTTON is not working.

I Installed CM7.2 on my phone and it went great, I decided to install a semi-transparent status bar so I flash a .zip in it. After it reboots, it was stuck at the "X" screen.

The only thing I can do is to have a battery shock on my phone while holding the track ball, and it sends me to a white screen with skating androids.

From there I tried using the Fastboot commands but I got an error saying "FAILED <remote: not allowed>"

I'm pretty sure that "USB Debugging" is checked. And I can even erase the cache from there, but when i tried the "fastboot flash recovery file.img" or any related command like that it says "FAILED <remote: not allowed>".

When using ADB commands my phone wasn't detected. I tried all kinds of USB drivers and trick already, but got me nowhere.

Also I've seen that you cannot use ADB on a white screen, how am I going to get to a non white screen if my power button is not working? :confused:

I'm entirely helpless right not. I already went to different best cell repair shop all over our country to fix my power button, since it was the root cause of my misery but even them can't help me with that.

Please help me everyone, I'm a complete noob or even a moron on this.

I'm completely helpless right now.

I'll do anything for someone who'll help me. PLEASE!! :crying:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivanoff7:
Of course your N1 is unlocked "fastboot oem unlock"... , right ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emeryreme:
:confused: I'm not sure. When I tried "fastboot oem unlock" it sends me to a black screen with a disclaimer to unlock and void my warranty.

But when I bought my phone it already have a MIUI Rom. So i'm guessing its supposed to be unlocked? And to unlock I need my power button.

But that's not my prob, I want to go to recovery menu to flash or fix my phone. Which I can't cause my power button is not working and ADB isn't detecting my device. :crying:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivanoff7:
I think it needs to be unlocked for fastbook to work. Yes the warranty disclaimer must be accepted. Yes I agree with you, MIUI installation would require the unlock. When you boot your phone, do you see a lock on the bottom (usually an indicator but not always). When you are in bootloader, what is content of the first lines on the top ?

I don't think you need to use the power button to go to recovery. Trackball works for me to select a choice in the menu. (FASTBOOT + RECOVERY)

Also, for adb, if you are under Linux, you must be root to see you device.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommert38:
ADB commands won't work in fastboot mode and you don't need to unlock your phone to flash a custom ROM. You know if your phone is unlocked by the big ******UNLOCKED****** in the bootloader (i.e. white screen with skateboarding Androids). If you don't have BlackRose HBOOT installed you will need a working power button, trackball is only working with BlackRose.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emeryreme:
Sorry, I guess my phone wasn't unlocked yet. And nope, my trackball can't be used for choosing any option at the bootloader. Huhuhu:crying:

Do you have any option for me to use any ADB commands? Or an alternative to push at Recovery mode? :confused:

Yes, my phone is still locked. Huhuhu :crying:

Does that mean i'm complete helpless. And I need to replace it? Huhuhu :crying:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommert38:
ADB only works in recovery or booted ROM. Did you try PASSIMG method?

1. Download this ZIP and rename it to "PASSIMG.zip".

2. Transfer the PASSIMG.ZIP file to the root of your µSD card (using another phone or µSD card adapter).

3. Boot your phone into the "white screen with skating androids" and wait.

4. A screen should appear showing your phone’s system searching for various files. This will take some time.

5. The phone will ask you if you want to start the update. Press the Volume Up button to start the update.

6. When it's finished you will have a working phone (hopefully). I suggest you then install BlackRose so you can use your trackball instead of the powerbutton.

(Edited guide from here)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emeryreme:
Thank You so much!!! :D I'll try it later when my phone is here already (I ask my brother-in-law to fix it too). Hope it works fine. :fingers-crossed:

Last question, just to be sure... where specifically in my SD card I should put it? :o

But super thank you in advance, I'll use Black Rose too when I fixed it. :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommert38:
In the root of your µSD, meaning that it may not be in any folder. For example E:\PASSIMG.ZIP
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emeryreme:
Sorry, but it still doesn't work for me. :( :crying:

I also tried unzipping the file and use fastboot, but I only got these error (please see attached image for reference)

I also saw in my bootloader an S-ON, does this mean anything? does this mean I can't write or push even force my phone to do anything without the power button? :confused: :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1newbie:
bro you cannot use FASTBOOT commands with locked bootloader.

and to unlock bootloader you obviously need a working power button.

1.wat happens when you do passimg method?

2.did you place the passimg.zip in the root of ur sd and not in any folder?

3. Make very sure that the file is not named passimg.zip.zip

the solutions provided by tommert38 are your only hope.

gud luck
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emeryreme:
:fingers-crossed: I'll do my best.

Thanks for you advice. :)

BTW, nothing happened when I boot it into bootloader. I use a battery trick while charging to put me at the bootloader, or should I use a USB from my laptop when booting to bootloader.:confused:

How long should I wait BTW? :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommert38:
So you:

1. Renamed the downloaded file to "PASSIMG.ZIP" (as n1newbie said, make sure it is

not

named "PASSIMG.ZIP.zip" which could happen if you hide common file extensions in Windows)

2. Put this "PASSIMG.ZIP" on the root of your µSD (i.e.

not

in any folder)

3. Put the µSD back in your phone

4. Booted into bootloader

5. Did

not

touch any button for a few minutes (unless it asked you to do so)

And nothing happened?

By the way, the battery trick is the correct way to boot. No need to use your laptop.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emeryreme:
Yup, I did each and every step of that. And still nothing happened. :confused:

Is it because of the S-ON thing in my phone why I can't do anything about it?:confused:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommert38:
No, S-ON has nothing to do with it. If you did every step exactly as stated it should check your µSD and eventually install the images inside the PASSIMG.

When you boot into

bootloader

(not fastboot), do you see this (the bright green text under the blue HBOOT) for a brief moment?

You see, it says PASSIMG.zip (which isn't present on my µSD), but yours should be recognized, checked and installed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emeryreme:
I finally get the PASSIMG.ZIP working (I was booting the wrong bootloader which is FASTBOOT). But problem really don't want to leave my phone. :(

I still do got an error and here's what written in my Bootloader (I don't have a good cam to take a shot of it).

BTW, my Nexus One is from Korea. I guess it has a Korean ROM something to PASSIMG.

But I don't know what kind of PASSIMG I should use. :confused:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommert38:
Redownload the file, or try this one.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emeryreme:
Super thank you!!!!!

No need for this, I tried different .IMG from a site and one KR finally worked. My Phone is Up again, and I'm running a blackrose now. :D

Hi guys, I need a very BIG HELP...

first of all, I'm a bit new with the flashing,,etc

I had the latest update on my Xperia Ray 4.0.4 ICS,, then I decided to flash it,, my bootloader was allowed unlock but i did not unlock it

i followed the walk through where you root without unlocking the bootloader

I flashed my phone to 4.1.A.0.562 kernel,

then flashed again to 4.1.B.0587 kernel,

went into CWM and installed Xperia Ultimate HD 3.0.2 from sd card,

then i saw the MOD 4.4,

installed it from sd card by using CWM

all worked well

then i messed up everything

i wanted to remove the MOD

I went into CWM recovery mode

I had "wipe data/factory reset",

then had "wipe cash partition"

then install the Xperia Ultimate HD from sd card...

after installing, the phone remained on the Sony logo screen without loading...

I tried to flashed it but on flashtool it said "need to root"

I used fastboot mode,, and unlock my bootloader successfully..

I flashed it again to 4.1.A.0.562 kernel and then to 4.1.B.0587 kernel,, but still nothing happened :'(

my phone is still stuck on the "Sony" logo screen and I cannot enter CWM recovery

And i think that my phone was not on debugging mode or unknown sources checked

Dont know what to do....... :'(

Are you sure your phone's bootloader supports fastboot? Not all devices are rooted the same, nor do they flash a recovery or root the same.

Is there any guide to root you device?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruban0101:
Not sure

I don't know whether my device(celkona85) bootloader supports fastboot.

i rooted my device using Z4root.apk

after i root my device

if i use this commands

`adb reboot bootloader`

`adb reboot recovery`

mobile will restart and will end up with android logo with an yellow or white exclamatory sign on top of it for some minutes then will start normally

I am not sure what i did after that something went wrong

now if i use the above 1st cmd `adb reboot bootloader` the mobile restarts normally as reboot

and if i use 2nd cmd `adb reboot recovery` the mobile restarts and gets hang at start up screen.

Any help regarding this issue is appreciated

Thanks for ur reply.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
that yellow triangle screen is probably your stock recovery screen, and it looks as though your devices doesnt support fastboot.

i assume you have a recovery meant for your phone that you plan to flash? if so wherever you found that recovery should have instructions on how to flash it
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruban0101:
hope i stated correctly this time

Thanks for the response.

Let us leave the fastboot mode issue since my device doent seem to support it.

I am trying to say that the yellow triangle screen is missing now. when i use the cmd `adb reboot recovery` now my mob restarts and gets hang at start up screen (not yellow triangle screen) i think now i am stating my issue clearly to you

`my device is not entering into recovery mode`

NOTE: the start up screen is the black screen with "CELKON MOBILES" quoted in it.

THANK you.

Yes I hit the "thanks" button, but it also deserves to be said. Everybody should have access to read this, regardless of their device.

In all the time I've been using this forum to root my phones this is the first post I've seen saying "here's what these commands do". I've been wary of blindly running scripts, and did some measure of research after downloading each one (check the .bat file, Google the commands to ensure they were safe), but actually understanding? Even as a tech-savvy person, it was hard enough just getting the hang of understanding the vague or shorthanded steps (e.g. "boot into download mode, then...." or "flash update.zip" or "use Odin to....") Most of the guides seem to assume that everyone here knows all the basics, but we've all got to start somewhere, right?

Anyway, thanks. It's great to have this reference handy rather than having to swim through a huge manual or entire forum every time.

Issues On Adb Flashing Boot

Hey Guys.

I have a big problem and i need your help !!

i have an tablet Vestel VP10, a few days ago, i tried to flash 4.1.1. official rom on adb but when everything is done, tablet stuck into boot, so now tablet not booting and there is no recovery mode combinations (volume+ -- power .....etc...)

when i connect to pc and open cmd (in sdk you already know that way) i'm writing adb devices and it shows me 123456789abcdef device. i also tried

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase boot

etc... it is only answering me "" error : closed""

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BillyMumphry:
[MENTION=6397601]tr_konx[/MENTION]. Hey, keep searching, there's an answer out there somewhere. Google, YouTube, XDA...

I'm pretty noob myself, but I just recovered from a similar situation. Trying to flash a Recovery and root my phone, I ended up erasing all system files, and bricked it in Bootloader Mode. I was getting similar error messages. "Blocked" and "Bootloader Closed" and "Stuck in Fastboot Mode".

I followed an Unbricking Method I found here on XDA and YouTube. What finally worked was flashing a new recovery.img (using "mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img") It was suggested I use MFast instead of fastboot. I then flashed a new device specific stock ROM. Both files I hunted down off the internet eventually.

You may have to use ADB to push the images onto your device. Hunt that Unbricking Method down because it has very step by step detailed instructions. I had to launch MINIMAL ADB/ FASTBOOT from within the "firmware" folder of the zip file.

Just keep searching for your device specific zip files and Unbrick Method instructions. Plug in the proper commands, eg.

"mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img" And

"mfastboot reboot"

Good luck to you!
