Nexus One Boot loop

[Guest oriharel]

It all started on some very-hot day.

I plugged my nexus to the lighter jack in my car, the phone heated extremely and went into boot loop.

non of my power-pressing button helped, so I had to eject the battery to make it stop.

but for nothing - just kept rebooting all the time.

could access bootloader recovery (1.7.0) though, but when trying nandroid-restore, it says:

Error: run nandroid-mobile.sh from adb.

ok, tried that - but no luck. the adb won't detect the phone (tried adb devices and got empty list. tried adb shell - it says it can't detect any devices).

please help!!!

thanks,

Ori

You should be able to pull the nandroid backup off the phone and flash the images with fastboot.

Turn the phone off. While holding the trackball down, turn phone on with the power button. It should look like the bootloader, but with a red-highlighted text that says FASTBOOT. Make sure you plug in your phone. The highlighted text should now say FASTBOOT USB.

Open a terminal, change directories to your SDK (if it isn't in your $PATH)

fastboot -w


fastboot flash boot /path/to/boot.img


fastboot flash system /path/to/system.img


fastboot flash data /path/to/data.img

If you have a recovery.img in the backup, fastboot flash that too.

fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img

If that's confusing let me know.

PS - Have you renamed the nandroid backup at all? I know I had an issue restoring because I had an accidental space in the filename.
