have a g1 1.6 build dmd64, and since i doubt there will be any more ota updates for this phone i have decided to root. i have never rooted a phone b4 but i am pretty tech savvy, i have flashed firmware on a psp b4.. i have heard that the dmd64 build cannot be rooted traditional ways, i have heard that there is a special way to root this build. Is this true? And if there is a special where would i find best guide on how to accomplish the root on dmd64? If anyone has rooted a dmd64 build b4 you are the perfect person to help me out, but any help would be great.

Hi i have a DMD64...i installed universal Androot.apk and it will work out for you...google it
Make sure you check if you are actually rooted after rooting with Universal Androot. I used it to initially try and root my G1 with DMD64 and it said it worked but I didn't have root access. I wish I could remember what I actually used to finally get it done.. let me look through my bookmarks and see what I can find for you.

I just did this with CM6. If you need help let me know.
NOOOOOOOB
I hate posting and asking for help. I enjoy figuring things out for myself. G1 with dmd64. Apparently I have rooted using the ANDRoot method. Shooting for install of Cyanogenmod 6, but not married to that if someone has other suggestions.
Problem? For a long list of reasons I won't get into, I am stuck using a Mac 10.4.
Just makes all instructions I am following a little bit different. I have dreamimg'ed...Put the mod on my root, all kinds of things, even starting from scratch with factory resets etc...
While I haven't "bricked" I have yet to get any MOD working yet. Have started of thinking of "different" ways of doing things so that they will take hold...Yet have realized I am getting awfully close to bricking..
Does ANYONE know of procedure to use/put on MOD using a MAC? I know I'm a NOOB, but I doubt I'm the first...

I used the instructions at this wiki. When it comes to flashing the recovery, I had to look into the discussion section and use what one of the users posted to actually get telnet to flash the recovery to my phone. I did however manage to successfully flash my G1 with CM6.
Thank you. Good stuff. I guess my question in particular is...My phone IS rooted (checked with T emulator) but before I flash mod, do I still have to change the radio? Right now I'm listed at dmd64, do I have to goto one of the RC's or can I just flash? I have tried to change the radio but it always stops at the rainbow screen.

Personally, I did exactly what that guide I linked said. I'm not sure if you can just flash or if you have to downgrade. I do know, though, that downgrading is pretty simple and it doesn't take much time. As for the radio, I know that CM5 and CM6 (and I am assuming CM7 also) require DangerSPL. When you flash DangerSPL, the instructions also tell you which radio to flash, and to be careful because flashing the incorrect radio can brick your phone.
hi guys, im stuck...
well not exactly- i have unlocked the bootloader on my nexus one on FRF91.
but what bout after that? i found some links on XDA and it says to superboot? cant do it i keep getting error and most of the tutorials are on windows OS, i use a mac, i would really appreaciate it if anyone can assist me any further with commands on terminal for mac.
i'm a newbie so i really dont know what to do, i've spend almost 8 hrs on this and only got bootloader unlocked.
thanx for your help guys
Why would you play around with a $580 phone if you don't know what your doing, they had a post showing you how to root without unlocking your bootloader. The other thing is you have to explain exactly what you did, and what stock rom you came from and where your trying to go. I'm not familiar with Mac systems but there should have been instructions for that system to. I'm going to check it out for you and see if I can help.

Do step IV.
Pick a ROM you like from the list in Developers section, download it.
Do step VI.
Not really hard.

This site helped me out alot when I first learned, because they have instructions accompanied with video, so it's like you can't go wrong. Sometime the dudes who have just instructions leave out a step and that can f things up for us. When I rooted my N1, the guy who posted the instructions put a period in the wrong place, and it almost had me stuck, but I knew the recovery image and I knew It did'nt belong there. Anyway check this vid, and let me know what happens, start from the beginning even though your boot loader is unlocked.

Here's another video with instructions for Mac.
http://www.droiddog.com/android-blog/2010/02/video-tutorial-hack-your-nexus-one/
There are links to files for each step, and the only suggestion I would make is maybe look for the newer 1.7.0.1 Amon Ra recovery image and to not use the Sense ROM that he links to. The recovery image is here on this forum in the Android Development section. I don't use it since I'm still having no issues with the 1.7.0 version that this guy links to in the guide.
As far as ROMs are concerned, I highly recommend going with either CyanogenMod 5.0.8 Stable (because it has fewer issues and is a good place for a noob to start) or with one of the more stable Froyo roms, like Kang-O-Rama .9.
first at all, thanks to anyone who try to give me a hand in this one. i own a nexus one for at least 1 year now, since i got it i knew its true potential was in the features that are not available in the regular stock version. well the case is i dont know and i am not familiar with the terms that all of you the tech savys use. i've been going to every post, threat and webpage that talks about rooting nexus one, i've watched every video and for simple that looks like my experience is diferent, is a constant struggle because most all the time all of you take for granted that i know what ADP, CDM, bootloader, fastboot, and etc.. you know, all those terms means that i dont know. i dont expect someone to become a teacher in kindergarder for me, i just want someone give me a guide of how to do it in a language that a person that have tried very hard for at least 6 month can understand. call me the name you choose, but at least, dont tell me i didnt ask for help.

+1 That's what I meant. You can't root 2.3.3, but you can flash a rooted version of it.
i really thanks to everyone who took the time to answer, i still clueless of half of what you guys were talking about. i get it, i can root my nexus one 2.3.3. unless i unlocked the bootloader. my question is this how i do that? and simple english please.
i want to be a little more specific of the what my motives of rooting my nexus one 2.3.3. this time around. i want to be able to get superuser abilities and be able to port the music player from honeycomb. i hope this gives you a better idea of what i want and how to do it, thanks in advance
If you want to unlock the bootloader on your Nexus One, follow these steps:
**Precondition: You need to successfully negotiate a connection between your phone and the computer (adb/fastboot).
With that said,
1. Boot into fastboot mode (Power on the N1 and hold the trackball down, until you get to a white screen). Once in fastboot, connect your phone via usb to the computer.
2. Test your connection --- Open the 'tools' folder in the Android SDK folder and SHIFT + Right click and select "Open command window here". Then type the following in to verify your connection: "fastboot devices". If you get a response, then you can continue to step 3. If not, then you'll need to reinstall the SDK/usb drivers.
3. Type "fastboot oem unlock" in the command window and you should be presented by a prompt on the N1 asking if you'd like to confirm the unlocking of the bootloader. Simply select yes, and you're done.

EDIT: Here's a step-by-step guide with pictures --> http://nexusonehacks.net/nexus-one-...n-how-to-unlock-bootloader-on-your-nexus-one/
Note: unlocking the bootloader wipes all your data, so make a backup with MyBackup from the market...

How about you read the wiki first.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Read Wiki, as suggested.
First, follow the "install custom recovery" guide.
Then, download the latest SU (search Google: "chainsDD superuser zip"), flash it in custom recovery.
Does anyone really think this guy ought to be rooting when he has yet to read up on the process and terminology? FFS, he doesn't even know what most of you guys are saying.

Ok i have a unlocked bootloader, running 2.2.2 and just about to update to 2.3.3 through OTA. Right now I also have root access after I used superoneclick to root android 2.2.2.
So after reading your words I believe I have all that's needed. What should I do to root my nexus one with android 2.3.3?
Thanks in advance.

If you only want the Honeycomb music player, just search for the APK (look in Nexus One Development for Music 3.0) and install it. Are you sure you want SuperUser abilities when you don't understand the terminology to root your phone? It only gets harder the more advance you go
I have a ? I read the wiki and understand the terms but I can't get into RA recovery after I flashed it ..used fastboot and bootloader is unlocked..any help? On stock 2.3.3

Hi there I've got and given some help over in the Acer Iconia A500 forum and now i'm hoping I can receive some over here.
I've always just had the stock version of Android on my Nexus, and now that it looks like it's not going to be updated again I'm ready to Root and Rom.
I'm especially looking forward to pushing a bunch of apps over to the SD card (I'm constantly battling the low memory warning)
There is a lot of information out there on rooting this phone but unfortunately most of it seems a bit dated when I look at the posts. most of it seems to be pre-gingerbread.
So, if I have a stock 2.3.6 GRK39F build, how do I start out?
So far form the Wiki I've managed to get the ADB working and USB drivers (Win 7) installed and have my device acknowledged.
From the wiki I've managed to Unlock the boot loader, and wiped my phone :-(
Now what? what is the next step??
Since I've unlocked the boot loader can I now DL cyanogenmod and install it?
or is there more to do?
What's the diffidence between root and unlocking the bootloader?
Thanks for the help guys. I'm sure this is all easy for you now.
-Ozy
After unlocking the bootloader install a custom recovery.
Either CWM or Amon Ra your choice.
Look here (scroll down to "Installing a Custom Recovery Image")

Thanks for the help guys I will try it out and let you know how it goes.
Follow up question. I just unlocked the boot loader so I know I don't have root access.
After I flash cyanogen will i have root access by virtue of running that ROM?
Yes once you flash cm7 you'll have root access.
OK guys I did it. I got stuck on booting into clockwork for a while. couldn't figure it out then eventually did.
followed all the instructions on
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Nexus_One:_Full_Update_Guide
and got it to work.
Thanks guys!
Ok, I hit a snag.
After installing CM7 I notice that there is no Google voice search on the main search box and no Voice to text in the messaging app? where to find / install google voice search/ voice to text?
U have to download VOICE SEARCH app from market for that feature to work

Help another noob...
I found this thread while trying to make sure I have the most up-to-date links for rooting my new Nexus One, 2.3.6, and GRK39F.
Considering this thread is over a year old, and I wasn't sure what wiki the original poster was referring to, I thought would post to see if there are new developments to rooting my N1...
I'm posting this from xp with google usb ver7 drivers installed through sdk. I also have Windows 7 if I have to use that laptop.
I managed to flash my wife's Stratosphere, but this is really pushing my tech limits....
Thanks!

Read the Nexus One Wiki in this Q&A so you can get a sense of the overall process and then proceed to work on your phone. I recommend that you search rooting process for Nexus One on youtube once you have finished reading the wiki.

I'm glad I rooted and ran CM7 when I did, because about a week after I did all the work my power button crapped out and if not for CM7 and it's "push track ball to wake" feature I would have been SOL.
I haven't gone back to check the links that I used but I know that they worked for me. Good luck mate.
PS I managed to eek another 6 months of use out of my device before retiring it and getting a G Nexus.
Thank you for your responses. Yesterday, I tried rooting without unlocking the bootloader, and it seemed like everything performed as expected, but several apps that require rooting said that my N1 is not rooted. So, I tried rooting, but I'm only getting "Waiting for device." I open the command prompt from the Platform-tools folder, SDK shows that I have the necessary drivers installed...
I'll go back and read the Wiki as suggested, and see what I can learn.
Thanks, again!
I have a question. Can the sdk link from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=690362 be used for rooting? Because it says it's an old archived version. So will it still work?

Dang it I'm in the same boat!!
Guys, as someone who was paranoid about rooting at first (with my OG Droid), I can honestly say that toolkits are not the way to go. The Nexus line is designed to be incredibly easy to root, and learning the manual way is going to give you the experience and confidence to fix any issues you may encounter. I was scared of adb and fastboot at first - I thought they were for tech wizards - but honestly, using simple commands is MUCH faster (and safer) than using a toolkit. If something goes wrong with a fastboot flash, it just doesn't work... Your file doesn't flash, and your phone is left untouched, and you can try again. If a problem comes up with a toolkit flash, you're pretty much screwed if you don't have the knowledge to rescue yourself. Please, take my advice, and use the manual method. It will help you immensely, and will make your Android experience (and your time on xda) much more fulfilling. I'll link the related thread below.
