I'm having problems Rooting my Nexus One and would be extremely greatful if someone could help me. I got my Nexus One directly shipped to the UK, I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
Here's what I've been doing;
I checked 'about' screen and saw it's ERE27 on my N1.
1) I download Superboot for ERE27 - download MD5: 19d302e1bcb18932f009d2a36a3d688f and extracted it to directory (C:\)
2) Turned off phone then plugged in the USB to the N1 (sound on my Windows 7 confirmed the USB connection was made)
3)I I put my N1 in bootloader mode - Turn off the phone then press and hold the trackball to enter the bootloader.
4) I double click 'install-superboot-windows.bat' extracted file on my pc.
BUT then Command Prompt pops up and I get - C:\Users\Bukhtiar\Desktop\1.0-ERE27-nexusone-superboot>fastboot-windows.exe flash boot boot.ERE27.superboot.img
< waiting for device >
After that nothing happens, please could someone help me with a step by step guide as I am new to this.
Many Thanks
You need the USB drivers for the nexus (http://djdoprkngutub.cloudfront.net/usb_driver.zip)
Also, did you unlock the bootloader? You didnt mention it
You need to download the Android SDK and run "Fastboot OEM Unlock"
Do I need to have the phone connected while downloading the Android SDK? Sorry about the Q's but I'm new to all this.
Follow step 1 and 2 in this link
http://androidandme.com/2010/01/hacks/video-how-to-unlock-and-root-a-nexus-one/
then do your superboot step that you have mentioned.
Afterwhich, your phone is unlocked,has a new recovery img, rooted and ready for flashing of custom roms.

I downloaded the Android SDK folder and downloaded the files within it then I followed the links instructions....as follows;
# Reboot phone into fastboot: Power off device and hold down trackball while powering back on. (The fastboot screen is the one with the Androids on skateboards)
# Open a command prompt and navigate to your Android SDK tools folder.
# Type ‘fastboot devices‘ to make sure your phone is recognized.
I opened Command Prompt and navigated to the Android SDK tools folder but I get nothing coming up when I typed ‘fastboot devices‘ nor any message saying my phone is recognized, except in 'Fastboot USB' the phone screen.
Hello,
I have recently bought the Nexus 4. Its running on official stock 4.3 JB, bootloader locked i.e. everything is stocked and never rooted.
As 4.4 update is not available OTA as of now(not in the coming few days), so how can i update my nexus 4 to 4.4???
I have downloaded the official factory image from google dev website. When i try to update it through adb, its not showing my device in the list when i issue adb devices command....please help me...!!

As mentioned in the screenshot, my nexus 4 is connected with USB debugging ON. As far as drivers are concerned, phone is geting detected in device manager, with USB debugging ON and OFF, both the ways.
After that when i open command prompt window, no adb command seems to work. When i run "adb devices" command(without using quotes), it doesn't show me my phone. I am using the google SDK drivers only, downloaded from google dev website. Kindly suggest.
But were those the drivers that windows installed for you when you plug the phone in, or did you manually choose the appropriate drivers?
It has been a while since I've been on Windows, so I'm not familar with the process. But what he is saying is important.

Well i did some searching on various xda posts...found this cool and nice tutorial for nexus 4. Followed the exact procedure step by step.
Running Android KITKAT 4.4 ...Big Kudos to the senior moderator efrant for his excellent tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
Do check it out. I manually installed the drivers. But sadly adb is still not working.
Steps required to install 4.4 factory steps
@vinay28761
Here You are :
I would fully recommend unlocking your bootloader for this purpose, unlocking has many advantages and one disadvantage, that your waranty will be void, but if you do these steps correctly, you should be fine with it
1) Download the SDK from here : http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2) Extract the folder to an appropriate location . I prefer C:/adt-bundle-windows-x86_64 , you will see sdk folder> platform-tools. This is the main folder, here u will get your fastboot and adb
3) Now when you first download the facctory image, it will be in .tgz file, Use 7-zip software (Google it) and extract it to the same folder where you have downloaded your factory image.
4) After extracting you will get .tar file, extract it again using 7 zip . All files will be extracted to a folder called occam-krt160o and you will get img files like bootloader-mako-makoz20i and radio img's . Now Copy these files namely : bootloader-mako-makoz20i , radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.84 and image-occam-krt16o.zip
5) Now copy the img files that i mentioned from the occam-krt160o folder and paste into platform-tools folder present in your adt bundle
For the connection part :
1) On the nexus 4 go to settings > about phone and tap on build number 2-3 times , it will say now you are a developer, now you should see a developer option in your setting menu, go into developer options and enable USB debugging.
2) Now go to storage option in the nexus 4 and tap on sought of options button present there it will say connection option or something like that when u tap it will ask MTP or PTP (basically two connection modes for your N4 when connecting to the PC), uncheck MTP
3) Now On your PC, go to device manager on you PC (Google it) and look for Nexus 4 , right click it and click uninstall and if a option is there to delete the drivers put a check on it or if there is no option just uninstall the phone.
4) Connect your phone via a USB cable it will say installing driver (It should install ADB by default).
For Unlocking bootloader connecting Fastboot and installing images.
* You will lose all data on the internal memory that is films,music, apps (Back it up )
1) Switch off your phone.
2)Hold the pwerbutton and volume down to enter into fastboot ( Phone should be connected to PC)
3) You will see a start button on top and droid icon like a repair tool ) . You will also see bootloader lock status
4) Now on your PC , browse to your platform-tools folder . hold shift-rightclick and open a command prompt.
5) Now type fastboot oem unlock on your command prompt . Now your bootloader is unlocked and all your data is wiped.
6) Now reboot your bootloader by : pressing volume down/up and press the power-button to select (when u browse by volume up/down it will show resrat bootloader or reboot bootloader)
7) After N4 comes back to your bootloader, Type in your command prompt :
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz20i
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.84
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-occam-krt16o
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Note: I recommend restarting the bootloader manually after flashing each image.
Now you should have a android 4,4 running on your nexus phone.
To install recovery on the N4 , Go to ClockWorkMod homepage ( Google it ) and choose N4 touch recovery download it and rename it as recovery and paste in to into platform-tools folder.
To flash type on your command prompt fastboot flash recovery recovery,img
You should have a CWM recovery now.

i am golad you are now running KitKat but to be honest searching for the instructions that you found should of been the first thing you did prior to starting a thread. There are a few tutorials out there. Hopefully your next venture into android you will take a moment to search...
Glad you are now on 4.4 enjoy my friend
Hi can you not just use the flash all.bat file contained in the factory image files instead of flashing the images separately?

(Solved) Error while flashing 4.4 - failed to allocate memory
Tried installing KitKat on Nexus4. The package was downladed from google's page, the checksum verification was also fine. But when I tried to flash the the new firmware got the below error.
E:\kitkat\occam-krt16o>fastboot -w update image-occam-krt16o.zip
archive does not contain 'boot.sig'
archive does not contain 'recovery.sig'
failed to allocate 717312552 bytes
error: update package missing system.img
If any of you have seen this before, let me know how to overcome this.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: The issue was with the PC - It had low memory and thus failed to allocate memory. My initial thought was that it failed to allocate memory on the phone!
Dear people of xda,
Recenlty ive receive a FOTA update to my device which runs 4.2.2. Being stupid, i did the update although i had cwm recovery installed on my devices. Now my device keeps bootlooping into cwm without being able to do anything.
Ive read tons of threads talking about this issue but i still cant get my to boot normally.
Yingy in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563527 had the same problem but the only diffrence is my pc cant recognize my device in order to do the adb fix by thecubed.
Im plugging my G2 for the first time in this computer and that is why i think my pc is failing to install drivers. I downloaded and instellad latest driver although windows device manger shows error devices not detected and the end of the process.
In order to fix my phone i just need to make me pc recognize my phone in adb although phone was never plugged before to this pc so i think my G2 wont let it access. I tried installing universal driver such as Pdanet as offered in threat but still when i write adb devices in cmd i get device offline!
Download latest adb drviers, lates lg g2 driver, lg user support tool does not recognize plugged device as well. All me sdk manger tools are patched to latest version.
PLEASE ive tried anything possible. spend like 9 hours and still nothing. i would really appriciate your help.
Thanks.
Edit: here my problem with pdanet drivers, it asks me to allow pc usb debbuging as shown in screenshot below but icant do it since im stuck at cwm recovery!
Solved!
BOOM!! after 12 hours i FINALLY manged to solved this problem. Really simple actually lol.
If anyone come across the issue please do the following:
1. Go to clockwork recovery as always, go to install zip from sdcard, choose install zip from sideload.
2. Plug your phone to pc.
3. Run adb with lastest drivers and sdk tools.
4. At the adb folder press shift+right click and start cmd.
5. write adb devices it should show your device id like this (xxxxxxxxx sideload).
6.Download latest twrp recovery from here http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/197 and if you have open europe version G2 like me download latest version from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/g2d802
7.put the zip file in the adb folder, do not unzip it.
8. write in cmd console adb sideload xxxx.zip (xxxx is the name of twrp file).
9. cwm will flash twrp recovery over cwm.
10. reboot in recovery in advanced options.
11. now you have twrp recovery.
12. follow this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696&nocache=1
13. THATS IT!!!
finally after going through this mess, im never using cwm recovery again. twrp is the best
good luck everyone!
I really need help, I have tried the following, having TWRP V2.8.5.1 functioning and Fastboot also.
- Through TWRP, tried connecting the PC so I can Flash a ROM from there, but I can't seem to be able to connect the One to my PC so it will let me transfer files through cmd with adb push. My computer is a windows 10 OS with Samsung drivers and Android SDK full installed, still can't get it to work.
- Through Fastboot tried flashing cm-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-bacon.zip downloaded from Cyanogenmod page and using Oneplus One Toolkit 2.0, even though the Toolkit says the files are there, still phone continues to show 1+ logo and then rebooting.
Please I need some help.
Cheers. and thank you.
Why adb push when you can just copy the file over using a file manager (or a command prompt if you insist) and then flash from the internal storage?
I'm having the same issue but in my case I can boot into recovery or other stuff IF I HAVE THE USB PLUGGED IN
Maybe you can check and and let me know, if I found a solution I'll tell you, hoping the same from you please.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541 this could help.
A friend of mine rooted my phone for me a while back. He's no longer around and I'm still pretty unfamiliar with the process without using twrp. I'm not sure what method he used. I was going to try flashing a stock os via adb but adb doesn't detect my phone. I'm sure it's a driver issue but I can't seem to fix the problem. I also have trouble transferring files with a USB cable. My computer sees the phone but as far as opening it to explore or transfer files, it doesn't work. I downloaded drivers from a link I saw in another thread on xda and installed some file with a weird format and that didn't fix the problem.
Can somebody please point me in the right direction?
First of all, I'd suggest you to try with a different cable. The one shipped with the RP2 is optimized for power and might cause issues when using it for data trasfer.
Secondly, generally speaking you should install adb platform tools (I don't remember installing specific drivers for the adb, to be honest). You probably want to install the google usb driver as well for the fastboot as well.
If you confirm that those solution do not provide a solution to you, we might look at other causes.
Once everything is workin, you can proceed to update (since you have root permissions, I am assuming you see the OTA but you don't know how to proceed). The procedure that I followed is this:
1. Download razer factory images for mr1
1. perform a nand backup with TWRP
3. extract the factory images somewhere, open the "flash_all.bat/.sh":
3.1. make the fastboot variable point to the actual fastboot executable (if you are not familiar with relative paths, use full path and it will work seamlessly)
3.2 remove/comment the line
Code:
fastboot erase userdata
4. run the script
5. reboot your phone and perform the OTA update
6. install arter12 kernel
7. In magisk installer download the zip and flash it with TWRP
So I've been troubleshooting for the past few hours. I'm familiar with the process that needs to be done. The issue I'm running into now is a driver issue. I deleted the Google driver and installed a Samsung driver just for laughs. I can view my phone and transfer files now flawlessly. But it still isn't detected by adb. I was just going to wipe my phone and reflash the stock rom with adb fastboot. I wonder if there's a way to flash the stock rom with the Razer bootloader until I figure out what's going on with adb?
The google drivers are for fastboot (bootloader), not adb. For adb I just let windows do the automatic install (I'm sorry, I just assumed you are using windows, tell me if that is not the case).
Keeping the assumption that you are using windows, try to uninstall all driver (both from installed apps and from installed driver. For the second step you will need to show in device manager, all hidden devices and uninstall all of them).
Reboot windows and reconnect phone, I'd expect it to be automatically recognized as Razer Phone 2.
As per bootloader, in W10 sometimes it's a pain in the ass installing the drivers as you might need to manually install them.
