I tried flashing a Cyanogen ROM onto my nexus one yesterday and I fear I have no way of recovering.
I had made a nandroid backup prior to trying to flash the ROM through ROM Manager, but for some reason my recovery does not have any nandroid options in it since the ROM install went bad.
The phone isn't bricked as I can get into recovery, but I have no way of accessing my backup, and I can't seem to flash my phone with any ROM's, even the official ones. (get status 7 error on official ones). The phone will not boot up at all (other than bootloader ect), not even the animation starts.
The phone is a NEXUS ONE and was unlocked via UltimateAndroot which shouldn't do anything to the boot loader.
This is my business phone so any help would be greatly appreciated as I rely heavily on my phone for work.
Thanks

Ok I have a massive problem here. Last night I decided to use the 1 click universal root app to root my phone and flash it to get CM.
I downloaded the app did the root, downloaded clockworkmod then did a clockworkmod recovery. After that finished i was given a pre-root option to backup my phone and wipe data/storage.
I only chose back up my phone. My nexus one then rebooted and proceeded to backup my phone then it went to install CM 6 RC2.. After this had finished it then rebooted and went to the multicoloured animation where the colours ceom from the left and right..
Here it would continuously loop and never do anythign else. With this I pulled the battery and loaded into recovery where I was in ClockworkMod. I then proceeded to use the recovery and as it was doing the recovery it just froze and the progress bar nor any words would come up.
From here I pulled the battery again did a soft/hard reset but it would hang on the loading animation again. I then did a wipe data/clean option and now it just hangs on the X logo.
On my sdcard I still have the clockworkmod folder with the backup, nandroid, system and all the other files as well. Vodafone Australia have no stock of the Nexus One at all and won't be getting anymore in since it's a finished product
I barely have any cash for a new phone and need to know asap what to do to fix this problem! If anyone can help!
When you installed Cyanogen CM6 did you install the proper baseband also or you just didn't write it down for us? If you had 2.2 on the phone before you rooted the baseband is ok for CM6.
Did you try hooking your phone with USB and try if ADB interface works? If your computer sees the phone via fastboot?
IF fastboot works, you could always restore your stock recovery and install a stock FRF91. (And then try again with CM6, this time installing the proper baseband AND WIPING like you should when installing CM6!!)
When installing custom ROMs always read the install instructions whole first then install.

So. I'm sorry to say, but this phone has given the biggest headache. Here's the background:
I really only use this phone for entertainment and stuff. BUT I decided to root and unlock the bootloader, somehow or another the phone apparently lost root a few times (According to some users here) but never lost SuperUser or anything. I've never been able to flash a rom on this thing. Then a few weeks ago the phone just encountered an error of some sort and would only get to the ICS boot animation and loop over and over. I just gave up on it. Then one day I decided to play with it. I got it into fastboot and then into recovery, (Not CWM Recovery) and was able to get it all set up again. So I figured I'd give it one more shot. I downloaded CWM and downloaded recovery, and a custom rom. tried to flash through fastboot>recovery but it's still the stock recovery, not CWM recovery. So I factory resetted it etc and started from scratch. Now if I download CWM it WILL NOT download recovery. It gets about 99% of the way and tells me: "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!" If I download it from a link I can't open the file....... Someone help I just want a good JellyBean Rom. :crying:
Edit: I've Googled as much as I could stand and still haven't come across anything entirely helpful. Please explain so I could understand. Pictures help if needed lol
Anyone?
You can't use clockworkmod app to flash recovery without root.
Get the fastboot image of cwm recovery ( not the app). Or twrp. Flash it with fastboot.
Boot directly into it and flash what you want. If you boot up a stock os it overwrites the custom recovery on boot.
clockworkmod app sucks IMHO and should never be used for anything period. Not fond of the recovery itself either.
Tried looking everywhere, but couldn't really find anything. Any help is appreciated!
Alright some background info
I rooted my phone and unlocked the bootloader successfully. I wanted to do more, so I flashed TWRP onto my phone using JRummy's ROM Installer. I followed all the steps and successfully booted into TWRP recovery. I created a Nandroid backup and when I tried rebooting my phone it gets stuck on the 4G LTE boot animation.
I then tried wiping the cache etc. and restoring the backup I had just created. To no avail, the phone kept getting stuck on the boot animation. I've tried restoring the backup multiple times with no success.
On my last attempt I checked another box on the TWRP restore page, I think it was the VG5 verification or something. Halfway through what I though was going to be a successful restore, my phone reset and got stuck in the boot animation again. Now when I boot into recovery it's the stock recovery, not the custom TWRP as before. Tried clearing everything/factory reset and it still stuck on boot animation.
As a college student I'd like to get this figured out as soon as possible (hopefully before midweek, Friday at latest). If I can figure this out with your help I'll be very grateful.
If I can't find any other way, I'm willing to flash stock back using ODIN and seeing how that turns out. Also my home button is a little sticky so I doubt the Verizon worker would be able to boot into recovery or download mode.
Any suggestions?
For those of you TL;DR
1) Rooted phone / unlocked bootloader
2) Flashed custom TWRP recovery onto phone
3) Created a Nandroid backup from recovery
4) Tried rebooting and gets stuck on 4G LTE boot animation screen
5)Wiped cache etc. and retried multiple times. Doesn't work
EDIT: I flashed stock through ODIN and everything seems to be in order. I'll be trying to root and recover everything through TWRP again and if it doesn't work oh well. My end goal is to have a custom ROM
Maybe this will help you
Okay for your problem, if you can go to Download Mode and your recovery back to its stock form, your last option will be flashing it through Odin. There are several method and guides How to Flash via Odin. I will link to you all the guide and try it so your phone will be back to normal. Choose only 1 method
1.) [HOW-TO] Unbrick your soft bricked Galaxy S III (+ bootloader brick)
2.) Verizon Offcial VRBMB1 Odin Files, VRBMF1 Odin Files, and VRBMF1 Update Files
Must read first the guide and download all the necessary.
If your phone gets revived, you can try this method and choose TWRP recovery and update the recovery.

Thanks for replying
I've got everything back in order now. I'll try installing AOKP or something
Your Welcome
That's good to hear
Hi All,
I have been searching and trying many different things to unbrick my Honor 6 (H60-L02V100R001CHNC00B316)
I have read all the posts here relating to bricked Honor 6's and none of the suggestions that I've tried have worked or are for my model.
Basically I had a perfectly working EMUI 5.1 stock install (unlocked, rooted) and wanted to try the stock EMUI 4 update.
I backed up my phone with TWPR and then unrooted and installed the stock update.
This was working fine, however I wasn't completely happy with it so I decided to go back to what I had.
I should have just flashed my backup, but I thought I needed to flash this 'rollback' file (H60-L02-L12_EMUI4.0_2_EMUI3.1.zip from https://mega.nz/#F!uopFUBJa!jp6hkjmftAKjQ8LrriwOTA!C4ZCVB5T) because it was there, but now my phone wont boot.
I can do all of these things:
Boot fastboot
flash system,cust,boot
Unbrick with MultiTool
Boot recovery
Flash custom recovery
Restore twrp backup
I cannot:
Boot into the system (the phone is stuck at the splash screen before the animated boot logo, no change after an hour)
Flash stock update via 3-button (freezes at 5% or gives error)
Charge properly, battery always low even after charging for hours
I'm presuming that something in that rollback file has overwritten something crucial and no stock updates are fixing it.
I'm considering using DC Phoenix but don't want to pay unless it's guaranteed to work.
Can any one make any suggestions as to what I can do?
Any help is appreciated.
Fixed you issue?
Issue is not fixed sorry, I gave up on it, but I still have the phone to try again if there is a solution.
Hello people,
I just tried flashing TWRP to my J7 Prime phone. Odin flash was successful and I could boot into recovery. I followed through normal procedure(data format and no-verity-opt-encrypt flashed). I did not flash any other zips and when i tried to boot back into System my phone didn't get through the Galaxy Prime logo. It wouldn't even show the boot animation. Before this happened, I did root my phone and everything was fine, I accidentally deleted google play once and also wanted to flash stock firmware so I did. After I flashed the stock firmware, when I wanted to root it again it would work after flashing magisk and booting into the system but after some time passes the apps one by one would begin to freeze and at last no app would even load. When i try to reboot at this point, the phone wouldn't boot back into the system anymore. It would get past the Samsung logo but the boot animation wouldn't even play as i was stuck in a black screen. I tried to restore with TWRP then, (Only restoring Boot, System and Data but I didn't wipe anything on the system before restoring. I think that this might be the issue but I just recently got into rooting.) but when i rebooted to use my phone it wouldn't get past the Samsung logo. The Samsung J7 Prime logo would show up, then 1-2 seconds pass and then reboot. This was a loop.
I was able to reflash stock firmware and get it to work normally. Since I can't risk bricking the phone as I can't get a new one after this experience I didn't flash anything again. Because after i restored with TWRP back then and now my phone bricking just because of a TWRP flash I think if I just give it some more tries (even with difference in procedure) it might just get hard bricked. I think flashing firmware so often might brick it. I really don't know but I can't risk bricking this phone.
The phone right now is OK. I just want to learn why this might happen, what would cause this and how to fix this. I will not flash anything because again I can't risk getting this phone bricked.
Just getting some information for me is enough as I am also curious about this problem,
Thank you.
