Hello everyone,
I was hoping someone could help me out with a bit of a problem I'm having here. I'm becoming rather scared and a bit desperate.
I just tried to install cm6 onto my nexus one, which I have done on a previous nexus one without any problem. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed amon ra's recovery image, and then updated the radio. I did all of this manually, not using clockwork or anything of the sort. I proceeded to install cyanogen's and google's addons, and everything seemed to go smoothly. I rebooted the phone and it got stuck in a bootloop. It flashes the nexus boot image and then the blue cyanogen one but just gets stuck there and tries to go at it again, failing every time. I have repeated this entire process twice, both times making sure I wiped the data and the cache, and the same unfortunate event has happened both times. Please could anyone help me out here?! I really need someone's help right now. I'm kind of panicking.
Thank you everyone for your replys. Any help is welcome help! I'm fairly knowledgable with ADB and rooting. I've been doing it quite a while now.
CM6 is very beta at the moment. If you're running one of the RC builds, try flashing a nightly build. It might make things better (or worse).

I've searched the forums relentlessly with no luck. I rooted, installed some roms, tried to install Cyanogens latest rom, became stuck on the bootup screen for 30 minutes. Tried to wipe and reinstall and I get the same thing. Well now the boot screen comes up and the phone powers down automatically after about 5 seconds. I cant get to bootloader either. I'm worried it's really done now. Sorry in advance for being a dumb noob but if anyone could help i'd really appreciate it. Btw, I have a mytouch 3g.
Ok. I got to the bootloader and reinstalled the last working (hero) rom I had. It appears to be loading now. I still would like to change this rom as I really need bluetooth support but after that scare, I'm not sure what I did wrong. I was under the impression Cyanogen's ROMs were fairly simple to load. Sorry if this is not thread worthy but I've had this phone less than a week and if I brick it, my wife will kill me!
Okay, so I have installed cm on 3 phones so far, and thought I had it down. Apperently not.
I flashed the .nbh, used upgrademyg1.com/root.apk, and attempted to install the latest cyanogen. Upon doing so, the phone would hang at the g1 logo. I attempted wiping and repeating to no avail. Thinking perhaps I had corrupted files, I redownloaded cm, with the same results. I can enter recovery. This is not my phone, and would be very appreciative of any help.
Thanks!

EDIT: Did everything over again and worked fine - thanks guys!
I've noticed other people seem to be having this same problem and there hasn't really been a distinct solution that I can see, so hopefully this question will be helpful in the future and not repeatative.
I've been trying to update to CM7 from CM 6.1.2 on my Evo. I followed instructions from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902051 and downloaded all the recommended software. First I tried to just flash the rom, then the kernal, then the gapps. All seemed well at first, and I got past the Evo 4G screen, but it got stuck booting on the Cyanogen animation (the arrow just keeps going!)
Then I tried to wipe the Davlik-Cache, and rebooted again. I left the phone alone for about 45 minutes, and it still got stuck on the Cyanogen animation.
Finaly, after searching through the forums, I found another post which suggested I do a hard reset then flash the rom, kernal and gaaps then clear the cache and davlik-cache. Still, I'm stuck on the animation. I have a nandroid backup, so I can get back to 6.1.2, but I'd really like to get CM7 working, anything else I should try?
You should't have to do the kernel separately unless you have a specific reason for doing so the ROM comes with a kernel for you. I had a similar problem with my HTC however I was able to get it resolved by installing gapps. Here's what I did -->
Used ROM Manager to go back to working ROM
From working ROM, accessd ROM Manager and chose rebooted into recovery mode
Once in recovery cleared/wiped everything (cache, data, delvik) installed gapps then cm7
Restarted
It did take awhile after restart to get going however once it did it worked marvelously!
Hope this helps and good luck!
Reboot
Similar Problem, Defy CM7 Bootloop
The first time i tried installing CM7 I got a boot-loop. I have tried at least 7 different tutorials all with different variations of flashing this and wiping that yet none yield results. Still stuck at boot-loop.
The most recent thing i have done was used RSD Lite to flash
"JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTCEE_P016_A016_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf"
this got my phone running again, i then pulled off some magic by rooting using a combination of super1click, Z4 and installing superuser myself. after that i copied the files for a bootmenu into my /data/ folder. using CWM Recovery v2.5.1 flashed
"freq_F_US_342_107-850-1700-2100-signed.zip"
to get my 3G running again, and gave up of CM7.
If anyone has anything that could help id appreciate it.
(ps. i've tried many variations of wiping things and re-flashing things)
I said I would flash cyanogenmod on a friends G1 because he was fed up with 1.6. I've flashed many custom ROM's on several different devices before but I've made a mess of things with this G1 and I can hardly hand back an unusable phone so I would really appreciate your help.
I rooted the phone using Androot, backed up the apps and settings using titanium backup and then the texts using a text backup app. I then downloaded Rom manager and flashed the latest clockworkmod recovery. Next I downloaded the latest official cyanogenmod rom for the dream/g1 and placed it on the phones SD card using my computer. I then re-opened rom manager and used it to select the zip file from the sd (to flash it) on prompt I checked two boxes one to wipe data and one to wipe the dalvik cache and pressed ok.
The phone rebooted into the recovery wiped the stuff, supposedly flashed the rom and rebooted. However it got stuck on the t-mobile g1 boot screen(it never showed anything else first or anything after) I left it for ages with no joy. I then tried wiping from the recovery and flashing again - same thing so i put cm5 on and tried flashing that. Same problem. Then i realised that it probably would not work because I would need to use DangerSPL as the /system partition is too small on the dream/g1. To be honest at this point I can't be bothered with to do that and this guy will be happy with anything above 1.6 to be honest so I thought I would try and flash CM4 because that's based on Eclair I believe (and so it not require I use DangerSPL or any other method to repartition the NAND). However, I tried it twice and still no luck.
At this point I'm somewhat panicking as I cannot seem to make the phone boot and it isn't even mine! Is anyone able to help?
Anyone? Please?
Look, at this stage I will forget custom roms etc. If anyone can tell me the easiest way to get this phone booting android again i would be very grateful.
Even if you could just tell me exactly how to restore it to stock 1.6 from here?
I have flashed roms on phones before - never had a problem but this is driving me crazy - please help!

HOW THE HELL CAN A GET THIS STUPID THING TO WORK AGAIN!??
MAJOR PANIC AS THIS IS NOT MY PHONE - PLEASE HELP!!!

Try this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803482. I hope it helps.
It's been way too long since I rooted mine to be of any real help but I shall try nonetheless.
Firstly, there is a guide in the G1 forum to unroot and get back to stock firmware: Here (but note that I've never done this).
I must stress though (admittedly from memory) that if you have flashed an SPL or radio image at all, be VERY careful about the order in which you revert back to stock (or go to get a custom ROM depending on which way you decide to go). The G1 is very picky, and flashing things (mostly SPL and radio IIRC) in the wrong order will brick the device. That said, if you follow the instructions you find to the letter you should be OK. But yeah, read twice, flash once.
There is a lot of information in the stickies in the G1 forum. It could take a while to wade through but it should all be there. Failing that, post in the Q&A or General G1 subforums and I'm sure a current user will help you out.
I apologise if I've just posted a bunch of stuff you already know/have read - like I said, I've not used the phone in a while - just trying to offer what I can.
Thanks
No worries now guys i've done it! It was quite complicated but its all sorted now. If anyone is trying this and has the same (or similar) issue then pm me and I will tell you how I sorted it.
Otherwise thanks guys and you can conciser this thread:

A notification popped up in CM10 alerting me that there was a nightly build update available (stable & evita). I decided to go ahead and run the thing to see if it worked/what the deal was and it followed normal process.. Booted into recovery, attempted flash, rebooted to a black screen.
It appears that it attempted to update and subsequently failed so I booted into recovery and flashed the cm10.0.0.zip myself. Fortunately nothing was lost or bricked and even my phone settings were all there when I booted back up again after (what appeared to be) a successful flash. Any knowledge of this? Seems pretty weird to me so I figured I would ask.
THanks

Which One X do you have? I'm on the AT&T version and went through what you just said identically... however, after manually installing through recovery I'm still stuck in a boot loop/black screen. Unsure what to do at the moment. I don't know this stuff that well so I'm afraid to flash the build I had before without wiping (which I would really rather not do haha). I'd love to move to the stable version, although mine was pretty perfect as is. I just went ahead with the update for the hell of it, but that looks now like it was a mistake Any advice?

Cm10 stable works for me. But I installed it in recovery
Sent from my HTC One X-
I figured out the issue. I forgot that with the 2.20 firmware you have to flash the boot.img separately from the ROM. So after the update all I had to do was flash the boot.img and it was all ready to go again
