Hi everyone, I am a somewhat new Android Developer, I am in the final stages of developing my first Android application targetted at 2.1/2.2 with a MinSDK version of API 5.
I just purchased a Nexus One directly from Google the GSM 3G 900/AWS/2100MHz version that is supposed to work with T-Mobile, but I did not sign a T-Mobile contract.
Here are my my questions,
1.) Is my phone unlocked?
2.) What is the easiest way to get a rooted 2.2 (Froyo/API Level 8) Android OS?
3.) Does ADB work out of the box?
Thanks a ton,
JBDynamics

Wrong section!
Should be Q&A (third in 10 minutes!)
Im from France so I'll skip the first one (but it should be unlocked).
2. rooted API? I don't know what it means, but just install the latest SDK and a 2.2 ROM
3. adb is runing on the phone, just activate "usb debugging" in Settings/Applications
adb is in the android-sdk/tools folder
hope it helped a little
leonnib4, thanks for the info. As long as ADB works, then I should have an elevated shell (super user shell) just by issuing 'adb shell' then I should be able to run commands with su. Thanks! Basically, I need to be able to insert my own kernel modules with insmod which requires super user permission/root access (uid=0).
I really can't wait until I get my Nexus One!

Your gonna have to root for SU. ADB works but you won't get SU permissions....

Exacly.
adb is a the "Android DeBugging tool".
It provides you a shell access to to phone in almost any situation (even boot).
But it does not gives you root!
Can you point me in the direction of a rooted 2.2 ROM or the procedure to gain super user access? I was developing BlackBerry applications for a while and just came back to the Android platform a couple weeks ago so I am out of the loop on the latest information about Android. I found the post for the 2.1 ROM and T-Mobile/AT&T instructions, but I think I am getting an Unlocked Nexus One since I ordered directly from Google via my Android Developer account. If nobody has come out with a ROM and recovery image yet, please point me in the direction of the nexus one specific commands needed to build Froyo for the Nexus One (http://source.android.com/ is partially deprecated and not really updated for Nexus One and 2.2 build instructions). So I'm not sure exactly what to do to set myself up for super user access.
Thanks guys!

Or point me in the direction of the nexus one specific commands needed to build Froyo for the Nexus One (code.google.com is partially deprecated and not fully updated for the Nexus One and 2.2). I can always modify permissions and give myself SU access before the build, but if someone already has a good build, I'd rather not waste my time.
Thanks guys!

Get AOSP code from source.android.com or find a ROM in Development forum
Is Leo's Froyo 1.1.0 build the best thing around right now? Seems like his SparePartsMod is pretty cool.

[Guide] G1 How-to: Root, Un-Root & Everything in-between
And you will learn a things or two about your G1.
2 weeks ago I upgraded my phone to a HTC One (M7, on sprint) and I decided I wanted to try and root it. So I followed the htconeroot (dot) com root guide for M7 exactly and everything worked fine up until when it asked to have me boot up SuperSU. It gave me the error "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it". I've looked around for a fix and a lot of searches have led me to this forum, and a lot of the posts did have fixes. But 1. I'm too ignorant and new to all this to fully understand the fixes given, and 2. I want to make sure that the fix I use is for my device.
Anyways, I'm on android 4.4.2 and I believe that may be the issue, but I'm not sure what to do. So if someone can help me out and give me an easy to understand beginners step to step guide on how to fix my issue I would be very grateful. Thanks!!
Edit: Fixed. The guide I used had a written, and video guide for rooting. I followed the video version, but went though the written guide while troubleshooting. It turns out the video guide tells you to put in a certain file that is not needed for users using Android 4.4.2, and that you need to use another file. I switched files and it now works. I'm good now.
edit :fixed
Hello I have the same problem. I have a HTC one sprint and I tried rooting it and I installed root checker and it said no root access and supersu said no binary and stuff and your seems as it is fixed please reply I need you help on how you got it to work and the links to everything . Thanks
It seems that I have root for...most...intents and purposes, but not when it come to things like xposed or next app so fix. Now I'm running 1.4.4.B.0.37 On Xperia Z1s. Rooted using flash tool, note... Does seem to freeze at the reboot part when it tries to install busybox so I manually install from marke. I had root for awhile then saw on xda that you could "proper" root by updating threw ota. Tried and failed multiple times. I have a screenshot of the error from xposed. Any help greatly appreciated.

Figured Out
Well, i never gave up and figured out the problem. Even though i had the newest version through OTA, it did me no good to revert back to last version since thats the version you have to "proper" root. Sooo, i downgraded...again...to stock (C6916_14.2.C.0.159_TMobile.ftf) then rooted and it worked. doing installs and checking as i type but so far viper4android and xposed are g2g. now to upgrade to next version (C6916_14.4.B.0.37_T-Mobile.ftf) for "proper" root. thanks and glad if i could help others with same problem. I think i will post a guide for z1s so others (seems to be alot of us) can have noob friendly guide. :highfive:
starting my guide...
I am starting my guide and wanted to know if there should be a specific area i should post it? Is the correct place here in the Q&A area? or in the Development area?
Hi,
It's my first post on this forum so excuse me if I didn't post into the best section..
I work on a VAB-820 development board powered by Freescale. I installed Android 4.4.2 on it and I need to root the system to run some applications who needs su rights.
I tried to follow steps to steps to include su in my build image but nothing was very concluent.
All apps like framaroot, towelroot & co don't work for my board.
I would like to know if anyone could help me giving root access to my system, using a special tool after installing stock android or by compiling it from sources.
Thanks in advance for any kind of help of tips you could give to me and sorry my bad english...
Solution !
Hi,
I finally found a solution to my problem.
I made a little script to include root binaries after installing a stock Android build.
You can run this script via the console from serial port.
You can download it from the link below.
Enjoy !:laugh:
