My Nexus One is rooted (I forgot how I did it).

Last night suddenly my phone went off and could not reboot anymore. It stayed on "X" screen forever. I tried to hard reset (i.e. Pressing volume down and power button). Then I pressed "Recovery" and then it went restart and stayed on "X" screen forever again. What can U do? :confused::(

Please help, I am a new root user. please teach me step by step to do so. thanks.

Turn it off. Hold the trackball while starting it up. If you have usb debugging on and working fastboot drivers, you can wipe your phone (fastboot -a in cmd) and flash an img file of like a stock ROM.

I had read some other members did some tricks to their phone by remove the SD card and reboot the phone. BTW, is the battery fully charged? Try to pull the battery and then put it back on.

I tried this already but still not work, I had brought my phone to some third party mobile repair centre, they said my N1 is CPU broken and will cost around US$96 to replace with a new CPU (HTC need around US$190 for mother board). I paid US$96 anyways. not sure if it worth.

If your bootloader is unlocked, just flash a new recovery from fastboot :cool: Otherwise unlick it anyway.

Sent from my Hypersensed Nexus One using xda.

The bootloader of my N1 is unlocked, I am not familiar with fastboot thing. My friend helped mine root and he is out of my country now. Gotta follow cnalbant's steps and see.

Install ClockworkMod Recovery on Nexus One Manually

Step 1: Download ClockworkMod Recovery: recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.1-passion.img (there are more current, look at the xda)

Step 2: Set up ADB for Nexus One

Step 3: Put the downloaded recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.1-passion.img in C: drive

Step 4: Turn Nexus One off and connect it to PC via USB

Step 5: Hold the Power button + Trackball together to start Nexus One in fastboot mode

Step 6: Once in fastboot mode, open Terminal / Command Prompt and run following command:

fastboot devices
This command will check if your device is connected in fastboot mode or not.

Step 7: Now run following command (place the file recovery in the same folder where the fastboot):

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.1-passion.img

This will install Clockwork recovery on your Nexus One.

That’s it, enjoy!

You can either follow the above guide or this amon ra recovery guide

xdaforums.com/wiki/HTC_Nexus_One/Recovery_Images

Amon ra is another recovery just like clock workmod

B4 using adb download the drivers of adb and fastboot

www.mediafire.com/?bhxmn903d6cz9eg

When you connect ur phone use device manager to locate the connection on win 7 and select install drivers frm folder and install frm the extracted folder of adb driver
