How to root AT&T nexus one

Can I use the normal root procedure/how-to for the Tmobile Nexus one for my new AT&T nexus one? What is the best how-to?

bump, can the original T-mobile procedure be done on the NEW ATT nexus? or does a new method have to come out?

Have you tried the link in this post? Duh. Best thing I've ever read
That being said is this, try unlocking the bootloader first and go from there. There is no way that could brick you're device.

...

Seems to work the same
Yes - I just bought an AT&T Nexus One and was able to unlock the bootloader, install Amon_RA's recovery image, and then flash Cyanogen's 5.0.5 ROM the same way in which I did with my T-Mobile Nexus One.

some of you people are serious assholes...sometimes a yes or no question is best answered with a yes or a no.

Sometimes a little common sense goes a long way.

The ATT version Google Nexus One uses the same OS, so no there is no difference in rooting the phone with the existing guides. The difference is the hardware that allows to operate on the ATT UMTS frequencies.
I used the same instructions as are posted here at XDA and MoDaCo with my new ATT 3G Nexus One and had no problems.
Rooting and changing the rom had no impact on the 3G reception which is on par with my current Tilt 2.
BTW, I did read a lot and it took me a while to get everything straigh since the rooting procedure is quiet different than what you would expect from HARDSPL'ing your WinMo device.

awesome!! i may try it out this week

Simple questions require simple answers
Thanks. I agree with couple of the previous posts. This is an almost $600 piece of hardware and the unlocking procedures were described for the Tmobile version. Since the hardware is different (the radio rom might be different as well), we just wanted to know whether we could use the guide for the tmobile version for the at&t version without bricking the phone. That was it. And, again a "yes" or "no" would've been a lot easier than posting a google search link. Anyhow, thanks to others who actually answered the question.

Rooting doesn't TOUCH the "Radio ROM", as you call it. More importantly, if all you wanted was a yes or no, YOU COULD HAVE POSTED IN AN EXISTING ROOTING THREAD!
Stop cluttering up the forum and ask a Mod to lock this thread already.
Just for reference, the upcoming Sprint/Verizon versions will be rooted the exact same way.

ITT: People who have NO business rooting a phone, are.

See the problem is the question was answered. You can't say you "Read around alot...." and not accept that a simple google search would have found the answer without the need to start a new forum. Another problem is, you prob actually clicked the link before realizing what it was. If you did, you really should NOT have a rooted phone anyways. Just my two sense, sorry for being an "asshole" I suppose....

The real problem is that there are too many mod wanabees in this forum.

At the moment you can't get permanant root on 2.2. You can get a temporary root, but that wont let you edit anything on /system. If you can find someone with an xtc clip you can get your phone S-OFF which makes /system writeable.
Downgrading seems to be easy based off the 2 or 3 step by step guides I've seen on this forum so far.
Your questions are no different to any of the ones asked before by others, please use the search next time.

Downgrading will work, but, it will still be unrootable. As said above, the only way as of now to root 2.2 is by using an XTC Clip hardware box to get S-OFF, then, downgrade (this is a 'proper' downgrade) and root.

You can root your phone...
i have posted step by step instructions on my website on how to root any android phone running firmware 1.5 and above
since XDA wont allow me to post a link visit my website.. "ajknowsitall. webs. com"

Enough of this already, people. You need a XTC Clip for that, which costs about $220. This is the only way, for now.

Moderation needed!
Alot of topics about the same thing ...

anyone try his method?

I don't believe this. Because that process was not a newer one and was there long ago. If it worked, it must have became a lot popular by now. And "Universal Androot" is not a root application recommended for NAND locked devices like wildfire. If one has bypassed the nand security with xtc clip and made s-off, then this process might work. And once if u make s-off, there are many other rooting options available. But the point here is to root the wildfire with hboot 1.01 and S-ON dude.... Do not just stick with the thread title. Read the thread, he mentioned wildfire 2.2 clearly.
I doubt whether ur device is wildfire or not (if wildfire rooted or not). Check the below attached "Root and Me" application. In that, go to the root guides and check the compatible devices for "Universal Androot" process. There is no wildfire in that.
Just confirm any process after it worked with u guys.

Actually this thread was a bit fair one started on 21st march (and then reposted yesterday). There are a lot other threads recently started with the same topic. But still i agree with u.

U might not have asked this question if u know that his process is nothing but "Universal Androot".
Inspite of being aware, i just tried it for u. It won't work and says failed.
If anyone wants to recheck they might. Actually that process is little bit confusing. And im attaching a screen shot of that website below.
The process says to install "App installer" just to install an apk file. Cant we install an apk file from a file manager ? This is ok.
Then the process says just to enable usb debugging alone to transfer the apk file frm PC to wildfire. It not even says from ADB, so i expect it means to transfer through disk drive. Come on stop joking.

I found that this forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
was very helpful I am running droid 2.2 Froyo on a Cherry Mobile Candy
I was able to root my phone semi permanently. So long as I don't clear the data for the Z4root program I maintain superuser status. So far I have had no problems and have been able to remove bloatware using AntTek App manager with ease.

thanks man

Come on guys, let's stop reviving threads from a year and 2 months ago...

Rooting and Loading ROMs on Korean Nexus S (SHW-M200K)

Hey guys. First time posting because I couldn't find what I was looking for. I only found one thread asking about this specific phone but the answer didn't really cover the rooting process. I'm in South Korea in the Army and this was the phone I chose before doing a ton of research.
My question is: Which procedures will I follow to root and unlock the bootloader for this phone? Is there an American/European version that I can treat it like? I'm mostly trying to get HD video recording with a custom ROM, but I want to over/underclock as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Bobby

I'm not sure how the Korean versions differ, but from what I read, I think the Nexus S is not capable of recording true HD video due to hardware limitations? Correct me if I'm wrong.

From what I've read it's a ROM restriction, but that's not the only reason I want it rooted.
Bump.

Buuump... Please? Anybody?
I'm really needing to under clock my CPU for battery life.

You can try the GingerBreak method - that is a simple download and click root process.

Or you can try the method for the I9020

Good luck...

I tried to root Korean device. It's not different than I9020. You can search in xda to root it

Root

Hey guys just got the atrix and it's on
What's the easiest way you found to root it?
Sorry it won't let me post in development for some reason

it depends what firmware ur on

Gladroot. the link is in my signature below.. make sure you follow the instructions carefully depending on your situation.

Right now, it appears Gingerbreak roots everything, but you need an SD card. See the Atrix Dev forum.

Ok thanks guys will try ginger break

And you should not post in development as your question is not development related.
try typing root in the search box, or any question, you usually get some good answers

I've got a brand new Atrix running 1.26. So far in this thread they recommended Gladroot and someone else Gingerbreak. Is there a benefit to using one over the other? I am admittedly an Android noob and been reading a lot trying to understand flashing SBF, ADB, CWM, etc. Knowing there is a beta update soon to be tested, I would like to use a method that is most likely to work with a new update should it follow on the heals of the beta.

If you have an SD card around, update now, then run Gingerbreak.
If not, follow the process in the Gladroot thread to getting root on 1.57. Assuming you care about the update... there's really no reason not to have it.
In the future, please search before posting a new thread. This has been discussed hundreds of times on this forum, and with a bit of legwork you could have easily gotten all of this info for yourself. Although I will admit the root situation is a bit more confusing now that a new exploit has been found.

Gladroot will give you the option to enable sideloading Gingerbreak does not.
thats just my 2 cents

[Q] Help?

Basically, my Phone is locked to T-Mobile UK and i would like to have an Android 2.3.4 Firmware version 4.5.91. But i cant figure out how!! I have posted a screenshot with my android version (about page) i would just like to know a forum or have the question answered here.

Questions should be in q&a forum... Try the development forum for how tos. Modding phone can be difficult. Atrix most probably most difficult of any device I've used b4. If u don't understand how to do stuff in noob post might be a good idea to stay with stock rom. ;-)

I believe loading a rom like CM7 would update your phone to the latest version. This is what happened when I loaded it onto mine. However, I'm not sure about UK phones.
