Fool Me Once, Shame On You

I've been lurking here ever since I got my very first Android device, the beloved Nexus One and have been contemplating rooting for a long time. I've watched the videos 10x and read all of the articles 10x.
Last night I finally had enough of stock and rooted and OH MY FU*KING GOD!!
The developers on here need a golf clap for all of the hard work they've put into the Nexus One.
I was impressed before but I'm completely wowed now.
It.
Just.
Works.
FAST!!!!!
I now have the superphone I've been reading about.
Thank you guys!!
PS NOTE TO PAST SELF: Stop being such a pus*y and do it.

I still haven't rooted mine...want to tho. And now I think it's time....
maybe not.

I rooted on tuesday night and have to agree that its well worth it. The phone is absolutely amazing now. The only issue is that I can't put it down.
I wanted to post a thanks as well but figured I'd just jump on here. Without all the informative guides and mods the developers on here made, I wouldn't have done this. So thank you.

i want to root mine but im afraid of voiding the warranty. im thinking of sending it in. i have a problem with my touchscreen.

LOL! nice thread! i felt exactly the same. When i first got my ATT n1 i was skeptical cause its was a $600 phone and i got it day 1. so i wasnt sure if the initial produtcion would have problems. 5 days later phone was running fine, so i said screw it! lets unlock, root, and install a custom rom! I absolutely love the phone now! Well, before i loved it as well, but now woooo! LOL. And if you follow the steps (not that hard to follow) youll be fine! Big thanks to all the developers here!
archillion - what kind of problems with the touchscreen are you having? if its the calibration problem (your touch doesnt register in the right place) a quick restart of the phone or power down and power up will fix that problem. Google is "said" to be working on fix on this. If its that bad why not get a replacement since youre still on warranty? And get to rooting?

i rooted mine the moment i got it lol...but ive been with android since the day the g1 came out and i havent had any problems so it never worried me..the only thing that was going through my head was DESIRE ROM DESIRE ROM DESIRE ROM lol

Can you list the sort of improvements you experienced after modding? Like how much faster the UI, or launching applications...etc.

I have chosen not to root mine and live with the stock ROM for a while. The voiding the warranty has a little to do with it but I also like the pushed ROM updates from Google. I'll root it and put it through it's paces at some point, but just don't need to yet.

Same.. I got a little tired of too much customization with my TP2.. wanna bask in the "stock glory" for a while

I'm still happy as standard. Yeah I'll probably unlock it in the future, but for now it's brilliant as it comes.
The warranty is a large force behind this of course.

which rom are you using now and what is exactly better zhen in stock...
to say its faster is easy but how do you recordnize it mine is very fast from stock

Gotta admit. For stock firmware, its pretty decent. They've definitely addressed the 3G radio issue cuz I'm getting a good 2.8Mbps dl and 1.5Mbps ul. Seems like they've hit the freq sweet spot with mine.

PHX Metro ROOTER

I'm so incredibly frustrated with being unable to get my phone past the loop stage of the rooting that I am now reaching out to anyone local in the metro phoenix area that HAS ROOTED their slide and would be willing to help me root mine.
Payment can be arranged.

i would love to help man, i have done 3 of my own and have 1 non rooted for the pending update... i would do it for u in a heartbeat but im in oregon. when eugene and i first started tooling with this method, he had some issues as well as i did so we know its not the most friendly root we ever seen.... i dont use the loop method. that was created for the incredible as an option and implemented in the slide process after i got root. i did a manual loop that seems alot easier to me but have had mixed reactions. i highly doubt ur willing to let that thing outta ur sight so i cant say send it to me, but if u want me to try and walk u through my original method to get adb in recovery add me on gtalk ([email protected]) or send me a PM. im willing to help as much as i can... CR

Edit:nevermind. Thought about it... drank another beer, realized the update.zip Sig problem.
I know this might sound dumb.
What about a phone call, and SSH access to your computer???

Droidxroot

Cant a son one help to make this work on a nexus please the unroot work because it reboot my device
http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/Root-your-DROID-X-with-just-one-click-article-a_12527.html

Why are you using a droidxroot on the nexus one? Do you really want to brick your phone?

Those options should be labeled "Brick Me"

lol oh my god this guy's english is horrible. not to be mean but if we could understand u from other posts and have a little common sense, you would know that a DROID X root WILL NOT root you NEXUS ONE. DROID X, NEXUS ONE. MOTOROLA, HTC. not the same. like other members said, you r just playing with fire if youre gonna try this. if you dont have the common sense to know the difference between the two devices and are using root tutorials that are not meant for your phone, please just give me the phone before you damage it or i will break into your house like i was child services and take that phone away from u n give it a loving home....my home to be exact

since i was mean in my first post, here follow one of these:

Dude, seriously, just step away from the computer before you break something. I have seen numerous posts that have tried to help you root your N1, and every time, you tell them that it's too hard and that you can't figure it out. It's not that it's too hard, its just that you don't want to spend the time to learn. You don't want to try.
Honestly, I think my 8 year-old cousin could follow the directions on how to root it. It's incredibly simple, just not as simple as a 'one click and you're good to go' thing.
Before you go off and make YET ANOTHER post, read and reread the instructions until they either make sense, or just give up. A stock N1 is still a damn good device.

Stuck tread

i was wondering if there'd be an irc channel. i'll idle here, hopefully devs will too and let us know when they have a breakthrough :O

Finally got around to checking out the channel, hope to see more of you there!

I plan to start idling there. Pretty good with Android phones. Feel free to ask for help.

I'll idle as well, as much as I can. Since I'm tethering and on the river most of the time though, it won't be as often as some.

Come hang out in the channel.

Figured I would post this here rather then start a new topic. Just wanted to stop in and say hi. My wife and I are coming from the Samsung epic. I now have the evo and she has the evo shift. Just wanted to take the time to say hi.

It's not dead. Just depends what time of day you are in there. I'm on 24/7!
Just gotta idle for a while and you will see some activity.

This place is AWESOME!
I just wanted to say what a truly helpful and inspiring place this is. I just got this evo shift 4g with 2.3.3 upgrade about a month ago and was trying to figure out some shortcuts when I stumbled onto this site. I started reading the posts and started to learn a bit about android, what root, rom, kernel, sdk platform, adb, etc meant and one day I jumped in. From the instructions and other great info on this site in the last two weeks I have been able to temp root, downgrade hboot, perm root, upgrade hboot back to 2.3.3 install and use apps like clockworkmod, titanium back up and other stuff. I just wish there was something I could do about my phone signal and speed besides the proxy adjustments to 0. Oh yea I was also able to flash 1.08 radio back after downgrade, didn't seem to help much though. Anyway thanks for the great awakening into the world of android smart phones. Next I might think about some custom roms, kernels after I do some more research. You guys and gals on XDA are the best!!

Samsung Epic Froyo Battery Popup Disableing - DONE

Ok all, here's a tool to for disabling the battery popup on a Froyo Epic.
github(dot)com/redrake/android-modify-jar
It's a tool for rooted phones that allows you to modify/patch jar files in system/framework. There is only one included patch right now, which disables the battery full popup!
Not for windows yet apparently. . .
Lates!

Is there anyway to do this without rooting?
I know, I know, "just root idiot!" But I just bought the phone about a month or so ago and still not confident in my Android skills, don't want to brick it.
Thanks!

No. Rooting is really easy, just get the drivers and open a file with you phone plugged in.

I'm with ya! But last week I made the plunge. There are good video's to walk you through it. I actually felt more confident doing it when one of the phones on my plan hit the renewal date.

great job!

I'm so confused about this thread.
