Nexus One can't boot into recovery mode

[Guest linysh]

My Nexus One cann't boot normally ,and I had tried to unlock it and flashed the "recovery-RA-nexus-v1.6.2.img" .

After I did above , the phone still failed to boot up ,just vibrated 7 times at 'X' logo . And also cannot boot into recovery mode instead of the same symptom,and stuck.

Could my phone be saved ?

Thanks!

Hi, after flashing the recovery...did you flash a new ROM? And if so, did you wipe everything?

I really wanted to flash a new ROM,but I couldn't boot into recovery mode .

Is there another way to flash a new ROM ? (via 'fastboot' on PC ? I had tried but failed)

I have had this happen to me a couple different times, its very frustrating and very annoying. Here's what I've done to get the device booting again.

1. Pull the battery and disconnect from all power sources.

2. Pull the SIM card

3. Pull the SD card

4. Wait 5 mintues (you want all power to bleed out, and for the device to fully "die")

5. Insert the SIM

6. Insert the battery (yes, we're leaving the SD card out for a bit...)

7. Try turning the device on

The device *SHOULD* turn back on at this point. If not, repeat it. If it does come back on, make sure you insure you can place a call, surf the 'Net, etc. Leave it on for a bit, and then turn it off. Repeat the above and replace the SD card.

I *think* this is caused by a problem with the device reading the SD card. I'm not 100% certain, but my device does this a lot, and its always come back after pulling everything, waiting a bit, and then replacing everything and turning it back on. You don't ALWAYS have to do this twice (i.e. leave the SD card out, get it to restart and then repeat with putting the SD card back in).

If this does work, then you might want to pull the data off your SD card and then reformat it on the device, and then replace the data after its formatted and remounted.

Hope this helps!
