ok so I rooted my android phone a few months ago and just left it at at the stock img with root access. i didnt do a back up because i wasnt planing on flashing a different rom. when the FRF91 update came out i manualy updated it. after that i lost all root access. i then followed this guide to get it back to EPE76
XDA FORUMS /showthread.php?t=636795.
after this i lost all root access. my fastboot screen showed that i was unlocked. i tried to re root it following this guide (how i rooted the first time)
YOUTUBE./watch?v=RyOO460xNHM.
i followed the exact steps i did before but the superboot didnt work. ive tried to get it to a version but i cant manualy update because it says the update isnt found. or there is an error in the file. did i mess up the rooting or is it something else? can anyone tell me if i can fix this someway???

Hey i am totally new to this rooting and stuff...i am confused;(...i have done a soft root using Universal Androot...i want to install CM6 using ROM manager my N1 is runnin wit 2.2 FRF91....Is this soft root enough to flash a custom rom or should i do anything else........
Pls help me!!
Thanks in advance....
Try it! xD
Seriously, if you have root, just install ROM Manager, and use it to flash a custom recovery, and then a ROM.
For the custom recovery, if you're on a newer phone you probably have the SLCD screen. The only Clockworkmod recovery that works with the SLCD is 2.5.1.1 which is available in the other recoveries section at the bottom of the first page.
Make sure you do a back up first.
Back up all your apps and data with Titanium Backup.
When flashing the ROM, wipe.
Make sure you install the latest gapps.
But first, read the wiki, and understand what you are doing...

Thanks for ur reply danger-rat...Am totally new my questions may sound stupid so kindly bear wit me...
I bought this phone a while ago...i dont think it has an SLCD screen...and am havin a problem wit OTA update to 2.2.1...i did not get any update notifications still..does this mean that ther is something wrong wit my phone??
No, there's nothing wrong with your phone. Read the Wiki and follow the guides to root. If you don't understand what you're doing, and you don't have the patience to read - you shouldn't be rooting the phone.
The OTA update server is still down, I believe.
Hi All,
I received my second hand G1 today from ebay running (I think) the stock UK 1.6 android rom. I wanted to upgrade to the latest custom roms and so I followed a guide which told me to downgrade to version 1.0. I then tried to follow the guide but I kept running into trouble because of USA/UK differences so now I am trying my best to restore it back to stock UK 1.6. I am currently running 1.5 (CRB43) and I can't get any further as I keep running into verification failures on everything I try.
I tried this: signed-kila-CRC1-from-CRB43-FIX.7ca4a1d7.zip but to no avail (verification failure)
I'm a newby when it comes to Android flashing (give me a windows phone anyway) and I wondered if you brains could help me out as my new G1 was suppose to be my new business phone as well as my personal one.
Thanks in advance guys!

Thanks for the info. The thing is I'm looking for the stock rom (maybe as a .img like RC9?) But I can't find one. All the others fail even though I am rooted.

Anyone? ???
I don't know...have you tried this... http://chensun.net/android-development/root-nexus-one-with-android-2-3-3-gingerbread/8/
Unlock the bootloader.
Read Wiki, "Root" guide, the first one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059116
This is the cause of your main version is older message.
I've been doing a lot of reading regarding rooting the Nexus one and unlocking the bootloader etc. I wish not to unlock the bootloader at this stage (as you can't lock it again, and the fact that i'm gonna be playing around with my dad's phone and wouldnt want anything to happen to that)
Right now, the phone has stock 2.3.4 installed, which I believe needs to be downgraded to be rooted.
So I downloaded the FRG83 release.
Now is the following right/possible:
Flash the phone with FRG83 by going into the phone's recovery - so the phone is downgraded
Root the phone using the superoneclick method
Now the phone is rooted and I can flash it with any custom ROM eg, CyanogenMod 7 etc..?
Sorry if this has been covered earlier, however I tried my best to read as much as I could, however there were always a few more steps involved in the process which I thought could be left out
So would the above process be okay?
Thanks
You have to use the PASSIMG.ZIP method to downgrade.
I would just read the WIKI
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...des_&_Tutorials#Unroot_.2F_Restore_your_Nexus
Read the wiki. You said you been doing a lot of reading but still do not know how to root/downgrade from 2.3.4. That makes no sense.
The steps are there for a reason.
You don't know what you're doing but come to conclusion that you can skip/leave out steps. That is flat out stupid.
Thanks
Thanks baseballfanz Yeah I've read the wiki and I was going to use the PASSIMG method, hence downloaded the FRG83 file, but somewhere else I had read that you had to flash it to froyo then back upto gingerbread :/ hence was a bit confused.
The problem is there are too many threads about it. And there are a few tiny differences in all.
So I guess I have to flash down to froyo and then use superoneclick.
And after that, I can just flash any ROM from the forum?
Alubundy2010, mate I did read it all and understood it. However I still had a few questions. If you didnt wanna help, it would've been best to keep your mouth shut.
Thanks
It is clear you did not and still don't understand it.
Yeah probably not, hence why I posted asking for help in the first place. Just spent an hour trying to do it, but stuck at froyo for now till I do an official OTA update tmrw morning and have a stock unrooted phone, cus I honestly don't have the balls to brick my dad's phone. So not rooting till I'm 100% sure of what I'm doing.
Thanks a lot for all the amazing the help.
Wiki clearly says:
"Gingerbread 2.3.4 can be rooted only when downgraded to 2.3.3 or to Froyo, using PASSIMG method, which will wipe the phone"
And the link is given - landing you on the same page, a bit upwards. The link contains EVERYTHING needed to downgrade.
Moreover, the following sentence points you to a VERY simple guide, which says: when you downgrade, you root. Without any additional steps. And from that point you do whatever you want.
The main guideline of XDA should say - "if you don't know what you're doing - stay away from rooting until you do". Obviously you don't, and you don't seem willing to learn by reading the proper guides, even when pointed to.
And just to make sure you got it: you can't root the latest OS version. Which means, if you downgrade and wait for the OTA to upgrade you back to the latest version, you'll finish (again) without the ability to root, and this time also without the ability to downgrade. Not quite smart, yes? If you want to avoid unlocking the bootloader, that is.
Now that the phone is running froyo you can root.
You should also have gotten the ota notification basically as soon as the phone finished booting.

Oh well thanks for the help guys, and I did actually do all the reading that was required.
Oh and I also rooted the phone when it was on Froyo through the manual superboot process.
