I rooted my nexus one using one click root, installed Rom Manager, flashed the clockworks mod recovery. Then i went to the CM 7 nightlies and got the latest one on the list it was #9 i believe. Everything went fine, it said it got an update, so i click download it was #37, i click on make a backup and didn't check the option that wipes.

Now it wouldn't boot. It gets to the X while booting and then just shuts off. I tried going into fast boot and click on recovery and it show the X again and then shuts off.

Could i some how connect it to my pc and wipe the whole thing so i could start fresh?

ok so i restored using passimg method.

Rooted again, but this time rom manager wont do anything it just keeps saying an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands! i went into Superuser, and rom manager is not listed under Apps. Is there a way i could manually add apps to Superuser?

got it to add permissions again, had to remove fix_permissions.log from my sd card, and then click on fix permissions in rom manager again.

Going back to CM 6.1.1 till 7 is stable again i guess.

Now everything seems to be working great. I flashed gapps 20101114 in hopes that it would update to the new market but no luck. Is there any other way to update to the new market? i also updated maps, that didn't help either.

I have the same issue as the OP. My N1 currently will not boot passed the "X" screen. I have a locked bootloader, so I tried using the PASSIMG.zip method from the link that was provided. I downloaded the FRG33 stock build from http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nexus_One/Roms. After the PASSIMG.zip was checked, I get an error stating "Main Version is older!" and the update failed. Any ideas how to get past this point?

With gapps 20101114 installed, try flashing Pendo blue market. It worked on my phone.
