I was about to buy my friends N1, after he cleared the data, it is now stuck on boot screen, he has sent this to me to try to fix since he is not a technical person at all, but I am also dumbfounded by it.
here is what happened:
1.) He went to settings and clicked restore to factory defaults
2.) It rebooted and got stuck to this.

He send unit to me just now.
1.) Removed bat to turn off since power button no longer works to shut phone off
2.) Pressed POWER+Vol Down to enter Menu
3.) Selected Clear Storage
4.) asked to confirm, so I did, it said it will reboot in 5 seconds, so it did and still stuck with this screen.
Alternatively,
I chose recovery, then wiped everything, reboot still the same.
Tried downloading multiple roms, renamed to update.zip, but it will give me an error in recover mode, not signed.
This N1 is unlocked.
Now, I want to follow the instructions here but I am wondering if it is worth it or I will just return the n1. Certainly a bad sign having seconds thoughts on moving to Android
How To: Load a Custom ROM on the Nexus One (Updated 1.11.10) | TheUnlockr
Had the same issue
Had *exactly* the same issue a few weeks ago and tried dozens of different options but eventually gave up. I sent it back to HTC for repair and it came back in two days *with a new screen* (which I didn't ask for). The screen replacement cured the screen alignment/keyboard offset issue that I was getting multiple times a day. So I was happy Excellent service from HTC!
I had a similar problem. Reflashing the recovery image, then reflashing the ROM fixed it for me.
Try pushing over Clockwork recovery, or at least reflashing Amon_RA's recovery image. If you stick with Amon's, upgrade to 1.7.0.1 while you're at it.
The reason to try Clockwork, though, is that it allows you to disable signature checks. Plus, ROM manager integration is awesome. It saves time if you flash a lot!
FIRST, try renaming the zip file just "update". NO .zip or quotes. Sometimes the PC OS adds an extra .zip.
Ken
Gave up on it too, sent it back to HK yesterday, hopefully, they will replace it too. Thanks everyone!
I would have flashed the stock factory image on to it. That's different from flashing a zip, in that the image copies the sector bit by bit, so if there is any kind of bug, it gets overwritten.

I assumed that would have worked for me too, but it didn't. Had to send it back....
I would have flashed boot, system and userdata, it was in the recovery so it wasnt bricked...
ah well
Update your recovery first.

so my nexus shipped to me today and i power it on. at first it went it booted up fine i didnt get to play with it yet cause i had to go eat so i turned off the phone to let it charge.
came back to it later and turned it up and all i get is this :

}
after a few attempts with the same screen i decide to boot into recovery
[power down+power button]
HBOOT-0.33.0012
RADIO-4.06.00. 12_7
i then select recovery, after a bit it loads into clockwork mod recovery v5.0.1.0
so im assuming its not bricked or anything, but what seems to be the problem?
why is it stuck on the X screen with the "unlocked" lock icon?
-edit
an idea popped up in my head, so i put back the SD card tat came with the phone and it booted up fine to the home screen.
so im guessing the guy who sold the phone to me had his rom image booting off the sd?
would factory resetting the phone[wipe all] change this? so i can boot without the damn SD card?
It might've been that he had app2sdext running. I have never tried booting up without my sdcard in. Depending on how it was installed, a factory reset *might* help, but I doubt it (most app2sdext are put into the /system partition which a reset doesn't touch).
Your best bet is to probably just wipe the phone and start fresh with a new install. There are a lot of different options out there with ROMs, but the two most popular are CyanogenMod 7 and MIUI. Have a look at those and try them out.

Hi guys,
I have bricked my phone and would love to know if anyone has a solution to unbrick it. Love the SII but didn't anticipate upgrading just yet.
I have had a custom JVT ROM running on my phone, with EXT4 enabled, and decided to revert back to stock. So I went to the EXT4 app installed on the rom and clicked convert to RFS. The phone booted into recovery where it did it's thing, and then tried to reboot, but froze on the boot image for about 20 minutes. I rebooted it, but it did the same thing. I went into recovery to try to disable the lagfix there, but it wouldn't allow me to. I tried to wipe everything but said it couldn't mount /sdcard. I then tried to flash stock JVT with Odin, and it was not able to set partition, and from this point on I have only been able to get to download mode, both recovery mode and booting lead me to the phone and computer with broken cable screen. I've since tried flashing roms and kernels on my phone but it always freezes / fails.
If anyone has any idea what has happened, and how i can fix it, please let me know. Otherwise I guess I had better start saving.
Cheers, Robbo

Did you try to re-flash stock JVT with Odin and using a pit file? It seems that the lag fix wasn't disabled on your phone. My understanding is that if you re-flash stock JVT with Odin, with re-partition, that should remove the lagfix...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
Yeah i tried that.. Over and over again. Nothing I did was working, and then finally, randomly, rather than freezing on set partition or downright failing, it decided it would proceed with flashing and is now working!! so moral of the story - just keep trying i guess. Wooo! Case closed.
Your sd card maybe damaged.

I'm not to familiar with proper forum etiquette, but ill try my best not to offend anyone, first off here is my phone credentials
samsung galaxy S4 active AT&T
SGH-i537
4.4.2
baseband version - i537UCUCNE3
Kernel version 3.4.0-987011
Build number KOY49H.I537UCUCNE3
Secure boot status type samsung
Now here is my issues, i was having severe battery issues so i decided to root this device and add a custom rom with less bloatware and such, having rooted 3 devices previously i figured i could do it. I rooted with Towelroot, installed romchecker to well...check, then superuser. This is where i think i might have severely messed up because i then downloaded System App Remover so that i might be able to get rid of the bloat without flashing a new recovery and a new ROM. The uninstaller worked, however when using it i checked all the items that weren't marked as core item thinking that if it wasn't marked as crucial it wouldn't mess my phone up... man was i wrong!!
Now every time i get a text message my phone wont display who its from and if i click my notification i get the popup "unfortunately, messages has stopped working" same thing applies to internet browser, however i have yet to find the trigger for it, being seemingly random. I am officially at wits end about this! I have been on my computer now for the past 6 hours searching forum posts and asking google what to do without avail. i have already reset my phone to factory defaults by both the settings and from recovery mode and it still persists, i just managed to download safestrap and was going to attempt to flash a new ROM, however safestrap says its installed but wont boot into recovery when i hit the button.
I'd like to also mention that i tried recovering all the files i deleted with SAM however that just failed the several times i tried it and never gave an explanation as to why. However now after i have factory reset the phone it seems most of everything i deleted is back under system items but im still not able to use my messages app without it crashing nor am i able to make use of my browser at times.
I just wanted to remove the useless AT&T and Samsung apps on my phone and get more battery usage but now i cant even seem to find a way to truly bring back whatever was lost because soft and hard resets arent working nor can i get or find a way to flash a new recovery or ROM onto my device. Im sorry if this was long but i know whoever might can help needs as much info as possible so please forgive me if im out of line as per forum rules.
You should use Odin to return your phone to factory condition. This will wipe all saved files and system/app settings (so backup anything important), but should definitely solve your problem. Download this file to your PC and extract with Winrar or 7zip: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952608110
Download Odin attached to this post. Turn your phone off, then hold down vol- and power to boot it into download mode, plug it into your PC. Use Odin to select all four files as shown in the image below, then flash. It's a long process (5-10 minutes) and will at some point boot the phone into recovery, it's important to leave the phone plugged in and untouched, let it do its thing until it's fine and boots into kitkat

Also next time you debloat, definitely use titanium backup instead. It makes you select everything you want to remove individually, so slower but much safer
I went ahead and exchanged my Note 5 under warranty. I got my new phone, flashed TWRP, flashed TEKHD, phone worked great until the battery died. I turned it back on and it was stuck on the Start Up screen with an error. It never made it into the splash screen. I did not record the error code but it was on the top left hand corner in Red. Something about not being able to verify something. So I went ahead and flashed stock rom and the unit keeps restarting into stock recovery. I've wiped data and cache and continues to be stuck. I flashed G1 firmware again and same thing. Any ideas what the problem might be? After restarting the phone in stock recovery, it reboots into recovery but with an error at the bottom in red. It reads:
Support APU: 3 <--------This is in white
dm-verity verification failed... <------This is in red
Need to check DRK first... <----------Also in red.
ANy ideas? Flashing back to stock and/or clearing data does not seem to help. My Note 5 is Tmobilele variant. n920t
Does anyone have a solution for this? I can't flash img or boot. Odin won't see the files. I'm without my Note 5 :,(
Does anyone have a solution for this? Can't use my Note 5 ;/ I tried doing as suggested but Odin will not see either the boot or img. Also, I can not flash TWRP. Which does not make sense as I was able to before. Something about FAP Lock.
Took a picture of it.

So I did some more google searching and was lead to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note...ation-t3293306
Says extract original firmware and delete cache and repackage it. Which I went ahead and deleted but when I try to repackage it, it gives me an error saying it is missing the cache.rfs. The tutorial uses a difference version of TAR.MD5 PACKAGER. The latest version I have has different options. It will not let me create a full rom unless the cache.rfs is there.
I am confuse and I need help.
These are the options I am presented with
https://scontent.fsan1-2.fna.fbcdn.n...63249499_o.jpg
and these are the options that are present in the tutorial.

Hi,
I can't say that I have a solution for you, or even that I'm right. But the first thing that popped into my head is that you Flashed something (Root?) when the BootLoader is still Locked.
That, or something won't work with the version of BootLoader that's on your device. For example, not every ROM available for a phone, will work with every version of BootLoader that could be on that phone and so to install "X" ROM, you have to (first unlock it) change to "Y" BootLoader.
I updated to MM and hated it. But in order to go back to KK, I had to fool my phone into thinking it's a T2 first.

Had a family member come to me with this issue. Assuming you have custom recovery go here and flash this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133/post63615067
That will allow you to boot and use phone. If you want root afterwards then re flash SuperSu (systemless version if on stock kernel).

thanks man but I sold it for parts long time back couldnt deal with this on a daily driver
now happy on s7 active
but curious I made sure I factory resetted it and flashed firmware which wipes the internal memory how would this tool be superior to a full wip?
