If you could spare a little time this morning I would appreciate it a bunch!

Hello everyone, my name is Cody and I just joined this forum today. I dumped my iPhone 3Gs and got me the ATT band Nexus One. I love it and I have done a lot of research regarding rooting this phone. I have never rooted a phone before and this is my first android device! I made up my mind (after spending hours and hours researching) to root my N1. The advantages are great and after using my N1 for a week and really getting to know my phone I want to get into flashing ROMS etc.
This leads me to my request. I am sorry if I am in the wrong place, but I was wondering if someone that has experience in rooting (preferably with the ATT Nexus One, if that even matters) the N1 would take a bit and maybe shadow me in the process. I know that is a lot to ask and again I am sorry. I just want to make sure I do this right and that I am doing everything that I need to do. I have read that it can take a few hours so I have all the time in the world this morning. I don't know what would be easier but I have a blackberry lying around that I could call someone or if that would be weird I am open to suggestions. I don't need someone to hold my hand through the process just be there if I have any questions. I am open to all kinds of help (email, PM, chat, etc)
I have a Macbook (early 2008 edition, if that even matters) My nexus one is is Firmware version: 2.1 -update1 (you probably knew that), Baseband version: 32.26.00.24U_4.04.00.03_2, Build Number: EPE54B, Kernal Version 2.6.29-01117-g4bc62c2 android-build apa26 #1.
I dont know if you need this info but I have read that you need to flash the radio to the right version so I was writing this to see if I have the right one. I would like to do this without messing with the radio (I dont really feel like bricking this gorgeous piece of machine) I do know that I should never remove the battery. If I am missing anything please let me know I am very patient and want to do this right. I havent downloaded the things that I need just yet but I can do that. If someone would maybe let me know the latest Cyan Mod. (Oh I should of mentioned for now I would just like to root and flash the newest stable Cyan)
I know this is a lot to ask and again I am really sorry (especially if this is in the wrong area to post this) Even if you don't have the time to shadow (I dont blame ya) I would appreciate any info that you have the time to spare. Thanks again guys and I look forward to meeting you all!

I'd wait until you have a reason for doing so...

At least you have the latest Radio and won't have to mess with that... just read up the posts with directions to unlock the bootloader and go from there.

I have done some research and would love to unlock the extra RAM as well as run custom ROMS (I would like to try out the Desire ROM for sense)

You pretty much seem to be capable of rooting. Do you have the guides for rooting. They work on att nexus so it doesn't make a difference. The latest cyan is 5.0.5.3 I believe, and can be download from his website. However If you go to the developing forums you can click on his rom by Cyanogen, And not any others that say his name. You will then see a download link in the post. But for now just do the whole rooting process. It should take you under 30 minutes. Its very easy. Just go for it. Don't worry about bricks. Hasn't happened yet. But if anything pm me your Gmail if You wished to get more detailed help. Im typing from my phone so can't get into much detail for now. Sorry.
Edit: The roms however such as Cyan already unlock the extra ram.

Great, thanks for the info that is one of the questions I had that was unanswered even though I have done a lot of research. Is there any good beginner (mac) walkthrus on this site? I am searching right now, but just thought I would ask. Thanks again for your help.

google is your friend.... you're going to run into things that everyone else assumes/knows and you'll want to be able to find answers rather than waiting on someone else to answer a blog post.

One quick thing before I get started (again, thanks for all you guys for helping me) I am going to be doing this on my macbook running Snow leopard version 10.6.3 is there going to be any problems I am going to run into? Do I need to download any drivers on top of the three programs I am to download (ie. Amon recovery image, google apps, and of cyanogen). I just want to make sure I am getting all this correct before I start

i got the over under at 3 days on this guy posting something along the lines of "You bastards bricked my phone, FIX IT!"

angermeans - you will find that users of this forum are not very tolerant of requests such as yours when the information you seek is easily available on this forum.
Really - don't be afraid, read up, follow the tutorials exactly, and you will have yourself a nicely customized phone in no time.
Or a very expensive paperweight. Kidding...

Dude, you can do it yourself. It isn't all that difficult. Moreover, there are so many guides available in this forum. Just search it and you'd be good to root your device yourself....

Ok so I got the phone rooted and unlocked and I have downloaded the latest Cyanogen ROM. I am using a Mac and from what I can see I have to put the downloaded (Latest Cyan mod and google features) on the root. I do that and when I hit flash zip from sdcard I get the error E:No zip files found.
Could this be because my mac is auto unzipping the .zip?

No need to unzip, after you download the .zip files just open finder, find them and then drag them over to your SD card.

whoops, didnt read the last message. obsolete!

I just want to say that I owe you guys a big thank you for all your help today. I went in a newbie and came out five hours later still a newbie but with a rooted nexus one with the latest cyanogen mod build. I am really sorry that I posted this in the wrong place and I am so glad that there are good people that tolerated my "newbiness" I learned a lot today and I am very happy with my decision. This was the first time that I have ever rooted a phone and I can say that I know quite a bit more than I did before. I look forward to spending a lot more time on this forum so one day I may help others out the way you guys have helped me.
Signed a very happy Nexus One owner.

Can the OTA update be rooted?

I'm just gonna stick with rooting. Will rooting hold up against the update or will I have to nandroid unlock and flash a stock rooted rom?

This has been asked several times. Please visit the Android development section and you will see. A little searching doesn't hurt.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

Well there is so much information being thrown around at the moment, that I haven't been able to find a stock rooted 1.47.xx rom, either, and all I do is search.
OP: If you find it, let me know and I will do the same.

thats because one doesnt exist.

Use a patched version of the OTA or a ROM with it baked in and you keep root. Flash non-patched OTA and you loose root. eazy-peazy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712695

the OTA will break your root.
however, if you've already done that, you can reroot since the most recent OTA has been rooted.

Short answer is yes.
Long answer will involve you going to a different sub forum for evo and looking it up.

Ha! Thanks.....believe it or not, that actually explains a lot. I think I'll wait for a stock rooted rom to be available.

Yea, I saw that earlier, but this is for people who upgraded via the OTA 1.47.xx and then lost root. For this to work for me, I'd have to willingly upgrade to the OTA, and then run through these steps. I don't think I want to do that.
I'm in the process of unlocking NAND now since I'm going to need to have that done in order to proceed with anything related to 1.47.xx, so once I get this done, I'll worry about finding something that works.

I am pretty sure this is what you are looking for... It is a Rooted rom, based off the 1.47 update.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712695

or this one...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715915

which one of those work?

I was actually running the first of the 2 links myself, since I was having major problems with my EVO, and could only use limited ROMs. It was very reliable, but I wanted the flexibility to run other ROMs. I have not run the one posted in the 2nd link, but from some of the replies, it works well also. If you are already rooted, and are comfortable flashing ROMs, I would recommend the first, since it loads just like any other ROM. It all depends on how much work you want to do.

Issues with the forum

The Epic forum has become too congested with problematic kernals, roms, and even the clockwork mod isn't working the way it should. There are so many threads on getting clockwork mod to work thats its become ridiculous. I believe this needs to be monitored more closely. For example, i look on how to flash clockwork recovery mod, and there are 4 different threads, with 4 different kernals with recovery mods, and 4 different clockwork mod files. Its way too confusing and most of them don't work with the update, or is causing bad things to happen to phones. Nothing is consistent with these kernals, roms, and recoveries. I put this thread in the development section because it all has to do with development of the Epic. Forum just seems congested to me.

These are all kernels/roms that will work with clockwork. They needed to add something for it to work and subsequently decided to put that relevant information in the title of their thread because its something that I would personally look for.

No there is one clockwork recovery. There is probably two ways to flash it though one through ODIN and one through clockwork itself.

this in not relevant to the development of android.

You're new to the whole Android thing, huh? This is what development is.
There is ONE working Clockwork Mod Recovery right now, and Koush himself released it. There is a flashable .zip kernel for the people who had the old version, noobnl version.
There are multiple kernels out because they do different things for the phone.
We also have two versions of root access right now. The one click root method we have stickied at the top is janky and inefficient compared to the kernel root we have.
This is how Android development works, especially until we have some full-fledged ROMs available. Threads like this make it harder for new users to get through this section (Now, when someone searches "Clockwork" or anything related, this completely unhelpful thread comes up). This is not Android development.

Dude, sometimes ppl can step in **** and still walk on a clean carpet without wiping their feet off first. It's funny how they can just dump on someone when they are merely expressing what they feel about how the forums is. i would have to somewhat agree with you, I've been searching through the **** for over two weeks and still noone has a goddamn real fix for getting a phone to boot into the right recovery mode. I still haven't been able to enjoy not one of these so-called roms as of yet. Even after doing everything to the tee. I have root...but don't think I have permanent root. Tried the fix for that....no happenings. They work hard to make these roms and I really would appreciate it if I could actually use them. I'm a persistant mofo tho...still trying at it...just make it a bit more easier to find what I need to get this **** to work.

You need to continue to read all the threads pertaining to what you're trying to do instead of getting anxious because you don't know what your doing. Look in general or questions and ask in those threads. All the answers are in these forums. I am only 2 months new to android, came into it without a clue. Didn't know what root was intill I seen an app in the market requiring it for use. Now I've got permanent root clockwork and I've tried all these roms and kernels without a problem. Patients and research is all you need. Filling up a post with explicit frustration won't help you progress.

Thank you for your input...I too am in the same amount of time as you when it comes to the Epic. Perhaps my issue is...I can't seem to get the searching bit right as I keep running into pretty much the same threads. Yes I do do the research, like I said, been at this for 2 weeks. The problem is the damn phone will not do what it's supposed to do. I am now trying another method and is hoping like hell it works. I wanna give these roms a go around too. As far as being anxious, I got nerve pills for that and I do take them regularly. LOL

As for you, I'm not the one crying. And if you read what I said, you'd know that I've been doing my research for 2 weeks. Why are you such an ass when it comes to ppl needing help with something. Did you forget that you wasn't exactly born into this world with a encyclopedia in your hand, was you? Remember? You needed help once before and maybe you got it figured out real quickly. That doen't nessecarily mean that everyone who comes to this forum are capable. SO PLAY NICE!!!

First thing you need is the drivers for your phone, there's several links to get those. You need sdk to do the one click. It needs to be in the sdk folder. After I downloaded sdk I unzipped it to drive c and renamed it android cause it's shorter than the original name. You open it and in the root of that folder is a folder called tools extract the one click here. Same goes for clockwork. Make sure you enable debugging on the phone. And don't mount your sd card. There's a tutorial on what to do with sdk on you tube. Really you don't even need root anymore if you have clockwork cause all the kernels come with root now. Unless you want to use a stock kernel then you use the method I described above. After you one click the clockwork mod you need to turn off your phone and power on holding the volume button down, pressing the camera button and the power button to boot into recovery. Make a back up of your phone and then reboot. Now just download whatever you want, boot into recovery and install. Sdx developers has some tutorials over on they're site as well. Hope this helps. Remember, cussing people just pisses people off, then you will be on your own.

I've only had this phone and only worked with an android phone for less than a month, so I admit that I am new to the scene...but I will have to disagree to the rant. It took me a while to root my phone and get clockwork. But it wouldn't have happened unless there was the "clutter" of ways to do it. The only mistake I made was assuming that I understood the whole post and skipped ahead. And that's what slowed me down. Personally I don't think there really is much of an issue with the forum. The only issue is some people aren't patient enough to read the whole post and screw up then blame others for their mistake. But what can you say, its human nature. There's also the wiki you can go to and that'll help out, it's all categorized nice and neatly for some to read if the forum is too much.

Obviously the OP has had enormous difficulty modding his phone. I extend my sympathies, and if there's anything I can do to help down the road, I will certainly try.
However, many if not most of us have had no trouble at all. In my case, I successfully rooted, installed clockworkrecovery, backed up, and flashed the Mixup kernel. No meaningful stumbles along the way, went smoothly.
So, blaming the forum seems rather misplaced. I don't know what's unique about kpkimmel's situation, but it's pretty clear that the problem lies there, not with the forum, information posted here, and the very helpful people assisting.

I'm sure the solution to the poblem would be an easy fix. As long as the the problem explained. The answer could be as simple as doing the 3-button sequence to get into cwm, or just wiping the phone to prep for flashing.

LMFAO!!!! You sho right...there is an easy solution to the problem and you wouldn't believe how freaking easy it is. Like I've said before, I've been doing the research and everything and nothing seem to work right. I have rooted my phone and have proven it so by doing the tests. But the damn thing would not go into Clockwork recovery no matter how many times I tried. Until last night on another website, the answer was plain and simple as big as day. When I did as instructed, lo and behold, it worked....I have Clockwork recovery. I can use the roms now. Gonna go post it in the 'Epic 4G Android Development.' Don't know why it hasn't been made know to those having this problem in the first place. Woulda save a bunch of time and headaches.

Recovery Clockwork Mod CVM made easy...

Hi!
I' ve spent these past few days searching and researching for all the usual stuff we all want for our Android "machines"; ROOT, RECOVERY "CVM", upgrade of ROM (to 2.3.3. Gingerbread) or at least the ability to flash other ROMs...
And let me tell you it's pretty time consuming to make good sense of all the information which are scattered all across the threads and posts! So many words have been written and yet there are no simple answers; "what to choose..., for which Tab..., WHAT TO DO?!..." I was forced to read thru entire threads just to learn some things as I'm the kinda a guy who puts the theory before practice and I must be absolutely SURE I understand what I'm going to do and have to have a plan B aswell, if things go wrong...
I think that from time to time someone should draw the line and gather all the useful info in a new thread...
So this is it; for all you noobs and all of you who own the GALAXY TAB GT-P1000, GSM also EURO/ INTERNATIONAL TAB... (not for N/L, not for CDMA...) I should also mention, I have an UNBRANDED - unlocked Tab.
LET'S GET STARTED!
You have two choices - You either wish to have your Tab rooted and maintain your firmware,
OR
you wish your Tab to be rooted, upgraded to 2.3.3. Gingerbread (able to flash other ROMs also) and equipt with recovery CVM (this also comes with kinda "rom manager" application)
For JUST ROOTING your Tab follow this link, using the "SuperOneClick" app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
For THE WHOLE "NINE YARDS" (if you wish root, upgrade, recovery... the lot.), then use this link:
http://www.thegalaxytabforum.com/in...gingerbread-p1000xxjq1-p1000xxjq1-p1000xxjpz/
You should register to get the necessary files... After the flash of the (optional) "Rooted Kernel" you will also have installed some new apps, among them there is an app similar to the Rom Manager...
Using the latter link will upgrade your Tab completely.
By the way... There is an upgraded version of Gingerbread - "RC1" pack. Use it at your own will...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074759
I hope this will clear things up a bit. I'm sure, I would be thrilled if someone would have written the instructions like this for me...

Imo you have a good heart to help xda community. But its seem your step or way is wrong. You should not create a new treat. It will just making people more confuse. The correct way is to search the existing treat and compare your experience with the OP of the treat. You have good knowledge from other forum and it was not wrong to practice it here in xda (by your own word and way) but you might not use that forum name and direct the community go off xda to that forum side. Its like you are advertise us that side forum is way better than xda. Mod will not happy with that i think.

[Q] Man, I am so lost. A little direction please?

I've done trashed my wife's phone twice tonight. I've managed to get it back to normal again both times. I'm done messing with it. I need some direction please?
Right now, it has the latest ROM from the OTA updates from Verizon.
Everything I try to put on it seems to brick it
Do I need to update the radio?
Do I need to install the lag fix?
Which ROMs are current for this thing?
I just need something clean. A slimmed down stock ROM would work well, too. She just wants better battery life, and for the damned stuttering to go away.
Any help is sincerely appreciated.
Thanks!

wrong section

download a new launcher, either go launcer ex or launcher pro plus. that should get rid of the stuttering (i'm assuming she meant stuttering from navigating the home screen and such)
do the typical things to reduce battery usage
-turn off wifi
-turn off data when not being used
-lower brightness
-properly calibrate battery by letting it empty and charging, while turned off, to full a couple of times before using.

Okay. Wrong section. Can we move it please?
And from Japots suggestions, should I take that as, don't root and put a new ROM on it?

Not if you don't know what you're doing. Do his suggestions first then read up some guides on here, Android central and rootzwiki to learn what you are doing first.

I'd like to think I know what I'm doing. I've rooted my Tbolt and flashed it more times than I can count.
I rooted the Fascinate two months ago and flashed a new ROM (can't remember which). It was acting funny so I wanted to put another ROM on it. I tried flashing Espresso and something went horribly awry.
Is there not a simple way to update the ROM on the Fascinate like there is on the Tbolt using something like Clockwork?

Exactly which roms did you flash, if you went from Stock, and then went to espresso that might be your problem, since Espresso needs Clockwork version 4 or higher.

It was Community ROM TSM I think?
Here's what I need. A basic, ROM. Even the stock tweaked and stripped down. That would be just fine. Any suggestions?
