N1 won't accept any ROM imgs

So a buddy sent me his N1 that had been stuck in a boot loop. I asked him to give me the details of what the phone had been through. Of course he didn't know squat! I assume it's a European version (he's in the Philippines).
When I got the N1 it didn't boot to recovery but it did boot to bootloader. I was finally able to flash Aman_RA recovery thru adb. Now I can boot into recovery. I've tried flashing 3 different roms (all MD5 checks pass) but the N1 one shoots out different errors for each ROM. For ex. Missing wallpaper/desire.jpg or some other weird error.
I've been searching for 2 weeks. When I enter bootloader mode and hboot, the device looks for a PASSDIAG.zip. I dl a stock image from the developer.htc site and renamed it to PASSDIAG.zip. If finds it but then gives error about missing PASSDIAG.nbh or image not being the right one.
If I use adb to wipe the cache (in bootloader mode) it works fine, but when I try to wipe userdata I get the "FAILED" to wipe error. Fastboot windows-devices gives me HTCxxxxxxxx so i know it communicates. And i was able to flash recovery twice. No problems .
EDIT: IF YOU NOTICE IN THE SECOND IMAGE THE BLUE STATUS BAR SHOWS UP AND GOES TO THE TOP AS IF IT ACTUALLY WAS DOING SOMETHING
I tried to flash an image using fastboot and adb (flash userdata userdata.img ) but it just hangs for ever.
I just can't flash an Os on this thing. Trully, bricked me thinks?
How do I know what original build should be on it? As I read to flash an original recovery. I can only get the Aman_RA to flash.
Someone mentioned to get ahold of the stock build for EPF30. How in the world do they know that. I sure as hell can't find it...lol. Everything in google search points me to everything but that build.
Thanks in advanced.

Go to Wiki, link in my signature.
Install Amon_Ra's latest recovery.
Go to Stock ROM section and download the only Eclair ROM it has there, the first one.
Go to Guides, look at "unroot/restore", PASSIMG.ZIP method. Execute.
If it doesn't flash the PASSIMG - post the error it gives.
If it does and you're on Eclair - congratulations, work your way from there.

I see 26 images. I assume this one is it "Passion-EPE54B.zip"? Seeing as the first one is ATT. Thank you for pointing me to this wiki. Can't wait to try it.

Did you try selecting clear storage?

@ SiN Well, it's weird. In recovery I can wipe storage, cache and dalvic cache. I wiped everything that could be wiped. And still got errors on any rom I tried.
So in fastboot adb I tried
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
and I get an error FAILED. But when I do
Code:
fastboot erase cache
it says OK!
I'm gonna try what Jack suggest right now....I will post update in a few hours? LOL, I'm @ work and will try to get this to work from these PCs

The passimg you used, it wasn't a zip within a zip was it? That can cause the blue bar thing.

So the .zip I used was the second from the top in the stock rom wiki. I think EPF45, and I get an error. I renamed it to PASSIMG.zip (made sure its not a zip of a zip) and got the red status bar. One error...."cannot unzzip .zip" see picture. Now I get static x screen that turns to pixelated dust. LOL...almost there. I guess its a rom region thing?

Try:
fastboot erase system

Repeat several times.
Looks like your system partition fails when attempting write. Might be a failed partition, might be something recoverable.
Then try to apply PASSIMG again.

Need help : my phone stuck loop on M logo

Hi everyone, I've a big problem on my milestone : It doesn't boot, it stuck loop on M logo...
I think I tried everything:
- RSD Lite Flash via the official versions and bootloaders
- Restoring backup nandroid
- Installation of custom rom
Despite all this, my phone will not boot, it displays only the M logo, then restarts again to view the M logo, and so on ... If anyone has an idea, I'm interested
(Is there a possibility of using adb to format the phone completely, never to leave anything on it, then install a clean version rsd through the system?)
For french users, there is a post here : http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/52109-milestone-ne-boot-plus/

What I've done in open recovery : wipe davlik cache, wipe data, wipe cache partition.
There is a way to wipe everything ? To have a totally empty milestone ?

Ok the 3 wipes and now you should be able to install a rom from the Apply Update folder if you already have one there.

I've just tried to install Cynaogen 7 for Milestone (here) but still the same issue : loop on the M logo...
Is it brick ?

grr.. there is a recent thread about pulling the battery out or something... right here
edit: was it this thread? geez I must be tired
What if you did the 3 wipes again and just try booting without reflashing...
I dunno what else to do.. sileshn is really good at this part hehe

I'll try to flash with GOT and try to do a diagnostic, what are you thinking about ?

That wasn't the thread I was thinking of but it was a different problem.
They were stuck on the M permanantly, well, until it got fixed..
sileshn is another user here that is really good at this flashing sbf stuff.
But it sure wouldnt hurt to flash GOT.

Ok, I try it, and I'll tell you.
I hope sileshn will come to see this post and will be able to help me

I've flashed the GOT sbf, and search on got recovery, but always the same, still looping on the M logo...

Wait...
You just rooted, but didn't unlock the bootloader? If you want to install CWM on this device you HAVE to unlock the bootloader first!
And do you see the 1st bootlogo (not moving one) or the 2nd bootlogo (this logo is moving)?
Try to pull out your battery for at least 10 seconds, then plug it in again and start flashing a new KDZ, I guess there will be no other way, since the recovery will be corrupt...

Do you see two red lines at top . If so your bootloader is locked and don't allow cwm recovery to work Try use power + vol up while phone connected to pc it should get you to so called recovery mode from there try reboot and it should work then you have to unlock bootloader to get cwm recovery to work
Another thing I didn't try myself but installing cwm recovery is replacing file dev/block/mmcblk0p1
Maybe if you have the original file copy it over there return you back to stock recovery

Why would you use something from a thread dated 2012?!?
download recent twrp or cwm img
go into bl and flash manually -> fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

any help please,i have the same problem

Solution
Above post is mine.
I was stuck at LG Logo for 2 whole days.
You have to flash your phone.
I flashed my phone with same v20a (4.1.2 JB) firmware.
now its working absolutely fine.
Download LG Flash tool
Download Firmware.
pull battery out, Put it back in,
hold VOL- and Connect usb cable
then your phone will be in S\W mode.
then run Flash tool and select Firmware file,
and flash it.
your phone will restart automatically, then pull out cable and let it start on its own.
DONE.!
for LG Flash tool and Original V20A firmwares google and search.
as I am new member I am not allowed to post links or else i would have posted all the new links.
Its easy, all the best..!

so no hope for me?
can't flash KDZ, it just dosen't work, or freezes, or app stop responding and force-closes, when flashing by flashtool it errors after 17 sec...
any ideas?

LG service center
Hi again friends.Unfortunately I'm going to use lg service center and show phone to them:crying:.What should I say to them?Can I use warranty?Do they realise I rooted my phone and my warranty voided?And finally if warranty doesn't support it, how much it costs to repair?

Battery died after flashing a rom in recovery mode. Phone doesn't turn on.

Hey guys, I am in a big fuss here, I was flashing new MIUI MM 6.0 and it was taking to long to flash.. I was very sleepy then and I accidentally fell a sleep. The battery was at 88% when I started doing it. So I guess the flashing must have finished by the time the battery ran out.
Now I have kept it for charging for over 2 hours and it dint turn on. Then I tried going to fastboot or recovery, dint work. Then I connected it to the PC to see if the phone is on but the display is somehow dead and WALLA!!! It gets connected. BUT there is a catch, it now shows me SIX different drives out of which 2 drives I can access. I dont know whats going on! Someone please help me. I have to travel 450 km for service center.

del

same problem bro.. how is your mi3 now?

Looks like partition has messed up. Before flashing that MIUI sh*t were you on extended partition table?

same problem here, I flashed SMIUI it says cant mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc,. I just let on that screen, and it displays installing SMIUI system. It finishes but phone died after that.
Now same problem with the OP, no power, no fastboot mode, no recovery, when connect to a pc it displays many Drive windows. Please help.
Now I managed to removed the battery still the same no power.
Help please guys.

i have a perfect solution for this problem....100%working...now u have to flash a fastboot rom using mi flash tool from PC.....u can search it on google or u wanna know exact details then u can mail [email protected]

Faced same problem (soft brick) , steps followed to fix it
Connected to PC to check if the phone is still alive or hard bricked (yep it was , i got a lot of new driver pop ups)
I went through some MIUI forum and understood that MM roms have script which changes partition size over stock partition , hence the soft brick if u flash it in extended partition
Downloaded an old fast boot room (MIUI 7 kitkat) and tried to flash it using MIflash tool , but faced another issue in WIN 10 OS.
To fix it had to install latest qualcomm drivers for MI3 and flashed the rom in Safe mode(win10).
Now you can either flash fastboot rom or recovery zip after you change the recovery.
