Okay I've been trying to figure this out for 4 and a half hours now, I've downgraded from cupcake to RC29 and now I'm trying to root it, I've tried using this guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
But when I get to here -
"What To Do Now That You Have Root
Now that you have root, you will want to apply "Hard SPL" to your phone. HardSPL is what will allow you to apply flash images from other regions (like UK on US phones, and vice versa), create full backups of your phone, install the latest build from the Android source, and usually resurrect your phone if it is "bricked". You have already downloaded the file to your SD card, so now you can apply it.
1. Power off your phone.
2. Start up in recovery mode by holding home and pressing power.
3. You will now enter recovery mode. You should see an exclamation.
4. If you do not see a menu on screen, press Alt-L to show the menu.
5. Press Alt-S to apply the update from the SD card.
6. After the update is complete, hold Home and press Back to restart.
"
I go into recovery mode but all I see are lines and I try alt-f and alt-s but nothing happens.
Then I tried this guide - http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Quick_Root
I get stuck here -
"# In the terminal you opened earlier (with root access) Enter the following commands in to flash the modified recovery
* mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
* rm -f /system/recovery.img
* flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery_testkeys.img
"
When I type the second line of commands it says not found or something similar so I'm pretty much stuck and can't figure out how to root RC29, I would really appreciate your help.
Sounds like you didn't flash the recovery image... Are you sure you placed it on your phone and followed the instructions to flash it? the flash_image recovery recovery.img command. Anyways, I have to run to work, I"ll help you more when I get back if you haven't figured it out by then. good luck.

Well I've had my Original (incorrect radio flash method), 1st Warranty replacement (keyboard too lose for my liking), 2nd Warranty replacement (sending back due to 'ASDF' keys stick), all flashed in past 2 weeks. I've almost memorized the stupid commands. The "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery_testkeys.img" had me puzzled on this one. But I've figured it out as the short method vs changing directory.
I think your issue is the last part of copying the recovery image to the phone. I've always used the following:
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cd sdcard
# flash_image recovery recovery.img
# cat recovery.img > /system/recovery.img
seems Like you're instructions kind of combine the 3rd and 4th and skips the cat command, so i have no ideal how yours is getting the file to the actual phone. I may be wrong, but just looks half done. It may be as simple as copying the image to the /system path with the 'cat' command. Good luck with it tho.

It just won't copy that img file, because I still get the old color boot menu. Nothing I do works.
Oh and I read somewhere I have to upgrade to the latest radio too, where do I get it and install it?
I finally got it to work I was pushing power and camera instead of power and home.
Where do I download the latest rooted build?

Well, that's your choice
JF 1.51 is just a plain cupcake rom with root
Haykuro's 6.0 sapphire port is very nice, like JF 1.5 but with HTC Dialer, Camera ect
Cyanogen's build is like JF but more heavily modded, has auto Apps2SD and a few other modifications.
Then there's the Hero builds if you want to be adventurous.
Just have a look in the development section and see which best suits your needs
Be aware the Haykuro's ports, Rogers and Hero all require haykuro's SPL (which needs the new radio or you will brick).
Okay well I downloaded Cyanogen's build, so what are the features and how to use them?
Just read through the thread. Most are automatic optimization mods (CPU scaling, audio mods) which just make for a nicer experience. There are also others like the HTC Camera app which is a vast improvement over the stock camera app. APPS2SD is also atomatic so all you need is a second partition on your card formatted to ext3, so you will have much more room for market apps.
* Based on AOSP 1.5r2, various collected patches, and some help from JF-1.51-ADP
* Enhanced ramdisk which uses optimal mount options and smart startup
* Includes E2FSProgs for checking and converting Ext filesystems
* Apps2SD is automatic! All you need is a second partition (ext).
* Includes script to upgrade to ext3 (from recovery mode, see FAQ)
* Supports ext2/ext3/ext4 for Apps2SD
* Includes HTC Framework and various applications
* Includes latest HTC_IME with long-press, calibration, and compact QWERTY.
* Launcher with 5 screens and auto-orientation and compact drawer layout
* Sexy pattern-lock from Sapphire and Stericson's lock screen
* Clean filesystem shutdown at poweroff/reboot, and fsck at boot (no FS corruption!)
* Includes T-Mobile IM application, Amazon MP3 (with Stericson's hack), and updated Google Maps
* Does not require "DangerSPL"
* Highly optimized kernel with many extra modules
* Includes Haykuro's APN list
* Tweaked frequency scaling options to be more responsive
* Maximum CPU scaling frequency set to 528MHz (3.3)
* Various enhancements to the Settings app including extra partition space
* Runs /system/sd/userinit.sh after A2SD setup and before starting the runtime for user scripts
* Microsoft Exchange support (Work Email from myTouch)
* Includes Compcache modules
* Linux cgroups for better app prioritization

Most of Cyan's features are under the hood. It boosts your CPU speed from 384mHz to 528mHz
You can also use a swap partition to speed it up even more (like a paging file/ram)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=531988
You will have to partition your SD card with a swap extension to do this. If you create another partition as an ext2, ext3, ext4 partition, Cyan has a script that will automatically put your apps on the SDcard
If you want the above, you will have to format like this
fat32, ext, linux-swap
inthat order
there are threads that will help you with partitioning
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534714
^ very useful for me. Requires cyans recovery
note the ext partition shouldnt be larger than 1.5gb and the swap partition shouldnt be larger than 32 mb (24mb recommended, but im to lazy to repartition mine)
note swap will reduce the life of the sd card (though you will have probably moved on by that time)
Also try out the HTC apps that it comes with, such as the camera and keyboard (keyboard can be used by long pressing on an input area, selecting input method and chosing "Touch Input")
You can also install HTC's Music app from here

What your going through is experience.....this isn't just flashing psp roms xD
Custom firmware flashing is extremely simple on the g1..... this is like going into the ROM and changing things up. The mods im talking about involve lots of terminal and adb commands and you really shouldnt be using them unless you understand what its doing. If you have plenty of experience in linux,then you should be able to find lots of interesting things to do in the development section.

I haven't fixed it yet. Am not able to place the recovery image using fastboot - my phone is not recognized by the computer
Work around I've found for flashing the recovery image if you can't figure out fastboot (I've never got it to work) is like this:
1. Follow the root procedure.
2. Install the most recent CM rom without using the HTC image (reason I do this is he's got some linux commands built into his ROM that aren't installed in the vanilla android build).
3. Download the cm-recovery-1.4.img to your sd card (or whichever recovery image you like)
4. Run terminal commands like so:
$su root (the reason I do this is it gives you higher level access to the system than just su, and I've found it doesn't work with just su for some reason)
#flash recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img
#reboot
5. Hold your home key as it powers up, and you should have the new recovery image installed.
Of course, I'd say do a full wipe, then install the ROM, and go through the fix permissions and clear cache.

You won't be able to use terminal from recovery until you have a thirdparty recovery image installed. The steps I've listed are for a working phone, and I'm sure that's where part of your problem is. I'd suggest doing a wipe (Alt+W) and going through the root process again. When you get the CM Rom, change the name of it to update.zip, then try the steps I mentioned. I'd suggest having a separate SD card with just DREAMIMG.nbh installed on it for emergencies (especially if you're going to partition your main card).
Thanks
2) Install the most recent CM rom without using the HTC image(What is it? Can explane?)
4) Terminal as i understand its Telnet?
Can i do works a boot mode and then downgrade it to RC29?? Because after it i'll know what to do... Thanks!

Basically to get this working you're going to need to downgrade to RC29 first - so follow the root instructions.
CM = CyanogenMod ROM. To get his working fully you need two roms, which are the HTC Developer ROM and the 4.x ROMs he created (reason being legal distribution of software), but for my instructions, on his ROM page, you're going to skip his instructions, just download his ROM, rename it to update.zip and just flash it from the stock recovery, just so you can get to the terminal once the phone boots up and load terminal (it's in the programs tray). When another screen pops up asking if you want to allow it to use SU functions (it will as soon as you type "su") hit allow.
Terminal is a program downloadable from the Market, it's included with the CM ROM.
His instructions for install are not going to work unless you have a thirdparty recovery image, which at this point from the description, the triangle with the exclamation point is the default system recovery image.
CM Rom page
You should be able to find the Root posts and choose a customed recovery image, there's about 4 or 5 really good ones, I use Cyanogen's, thus my instructions on how to flash it.
You're fortunate that you're getting to the stock recovery, means your phone isn't bricked.

Not sure what you mean? Telnet for these intents and purposes is basically just a command. The page on how to root has become pretty convoluted at this point. The part where it tells you to type 'telnetd' is just running a script which is an exploit in the old releases of android. You won't be messing with Terminal really until you get to the point where you've updated the rom. From this point, I'd suggest downloading this root.apk from your browser, install it, allow it, follow the instructions step by step in the program.
My problem consist of that i can't turn on my phone and i can't get into bootloader...only recovery can you give me a link for RC29 download and then install it from recovery on my g1 from recovery.

You don't...with the DREAMIMG.nbh or any .nbh file you start up the phone holding power+camera. The recovery mode looks for an update.img file. You'll make it through, don't get frustrated.

G1 Please, I like that alot
That looks great yeah please could i request for mdpi devices to please (G1,Hero,Eris<legen etc.).
Thanks
can someone with an mdpi device let me know if the animation loops for them?
on my nexus the letter drop animation loops properly (i.e. n-e-g-o-n-a-y-c repeats), but when i installed it on a g1 the animation plays once through and then a black screen appears.
thanks ^^
Nice.. Any sound? Maybe the gas cling cling sound?

Thanks. I'll try to track down the issue and post a fix ^^ Just to be sure, what rom/version are currently running?
see op for details
the black screen on [mdpi] and [ldpi] should now be fixed. it seems i just packaged them incorrectly. now all is well ^^
I initially looked for a complete update guide on here and eventually found all the information I needed, but it was in multiple places and sometimes hard to find. After getting everything installed on my N1 I thought I would write a guide for other noobs like me that want to try out ICS or JB but would like a step-by-step guide. I hope that it is helpful. SpazeDog ROMs (both ICS and JB) are working wonderfully on my N1 - its a very nice update from CM7 with only minor issues so far.
Note: this was initially written specifically for SpazeDog roms, but as they have not been updated in a while I have provided links to other popular roms as well. If you would like to try a different ICS or JB rom this guide should work, just substitute with the appropriate rom and depending on the one you choose, you may also need to install Google apps.
If you looking at this guide and don't know the basics yet, check out the Newbie Friendly thread first.
Links to popular roms that will work using this guide:
Evervolv JB 4.2
Evervolv JB 4.1
CM 10, JB 4.1.2 by vijendrahs

Disclaimer: This guide involves making changes to your phone that potentially could brick your phone leaving it unusable. I am not liable for any changes you make or problems you may have with your phone. You should at least be familiar with entering commands using command prompt. This procedure will erase ALL the data on your phone. Make sure you have a backup of everything. A nandroid backup is highly recommended. Proceed at your own risk.
Before we get started make sure you have the following: a rooted Nexus One, a USB cable to attach your phone to a computer, and the Android SDK. If you are just now installing the Android SDK, open the SDK manager and make sure to install the "Tools" and in "Extras" the "Google USB Driver" are checked off and download them. Alternatively, you just download ADB and Fastboot (search this forum or google). If you have a Mac see this thread to get started with ADB and Fastboot.
If you Nexus One is NOT already rooted, then follow this guide from Cyanogenmod to root your phone. If you plan to use the adb commands below (they are optional) make sure you have usb debugging enabled: go to "Settings" → "Applications" → "Development" → enable "USB debugging."
Step 1 - Download everything you will need:
4EXTRecovery Updater - the first link will download the .apk to your computer or phone.
BlackRose - go down to bottom of the first post to "Attached Files" and download the latest BlackRose zip file. If you don't want to do it yourself, check out this thread to flash a pre-made partition scheme. Often the developers (Evervolv) will also have a partition schemes that you can flash via Fastboot from your PC as well.
Your rom of choice - go to the downloads section and choose which rom you would like to try. Download the zip installation file.
Since you will be decreasing the size of your partition that apps can be stored on consider something like Mounts2SD or AD2SDX to move apps to your SD card.
Step 2 - Install and use 4EXTRecovery Updater on your phone:
The easiest thing to do is go to the 4ext link above, download and install it, directly from your nexus one. You can also install it by copying the APK file to your SD card, then using a file manager to find it and install it or you can use command prompt by opening command prompt, cd to the location of the Android SDK tools, and then type in the following command (replacing "path" with the path to where the APK is located on your computer):
Code:
adb install /path/4EXTRecoveryUpdater.apk
After you have installed 4ext open the 4EXT Recovery Updater. Tap "Settings" → "Allow" superuser request → "Yes" to connect to 4ext to get new data. Now select "Online install/upgrade" → "Yes" assuming it detects your nexus one correctly → select and install the latest 4ext recovery (at the top of the list).
After 4ext has installed, it will have placed a recovery image on your SD card - find it (its called recover.img) and it should be located in SD/Download/4EXT_Recovery_Touch/ folder. Copy this to your computer in case something goes wrong later and you need to re-flash the recovery image!
After installation of the 4ext recovery turn off your phone and boot into recovery by turning off your phone, turning it on again while holding the trackball down. This will boot into the bootloader, then press the power button once, use Volume Down to select "recovery" and press the trackball to select. Alternatively you can use the command prompt:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Your phone should now boot into the 4ext recovery menu. Before moving on make sure you have any important stuff backed up because you are about to erase your entire SD card! Select "tools" →“partition sd card” → “remove all partitions and start from scratch.” Then for the 1st partition select “1024″ for a 1GB partition (this will be where ICS will be able to put your applications & data). Select "skip" for the 2nd partition and for the swap partition. Finally select the system “ext4″.
Step 3 - Copy the Evervolv, SpazeDog, or whatever zip installation file you have chosen to your phone's SD card
Download the ICS or JB zip file above and copy it to the root of your newly formatted SD card.
Step 4 - Installing and using BlackRose to resize the system partition:
Download the BlackRose application and install it on your computer. (Alternatively people have made flash-able partition schemes that you can just flash from your PC - usually links and instructions are provided in the installation rom's thread, Evervolv's here. If you do have access to a computer you can check out this thread).
Make sure your nexus one is attached via USB to your computer.
Open the BlackRose application - it will install and reboot your phone. Then follow along as shown in this video to resize your partitions for a JB ROM.
If you plan to install the ICS rom then use the video above as a guide but use the numbers (sizes) for the different partitions as indicated below.
After BlackRose has installed you will need to restart the application. After it has started up and recognized your device select "apply stock/custom blackrose" by typing in 1 and enter.
Then select "custom blackrose" by typing in 2.
Then type "resize" when prompted.
Now you will need to change the sizes of the system partition to 220 for ICS or 260 for JB.
Change the cache size to 8.
Finally name the new system partition, either "ICS" or "JB" depending on what you plan to install.
Note: some people have reported having problems getting into recovery at this point (if not move on to step 5). If that happens, luckily for you, 4ext put a recovery image in the downloads folder of your SD card and if you did what I said in step 2 you saved it. Try reflashing that recovery image using fastboot (remember the one that was in SD/Download/4EXT_Recovery_Touch/ and was named "recovery.img"). Put your phone into the bootloader by turning off your phone, turning it on again while holding the trackball down. To reflash the recovery open command prompt and cd to the location of the Android SDK tools. Then type in the following command (replacing "path" with the path to where the recovery image is located on your computer):
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/recovery.img
If that does not solve your problems (inability to get into recovery) then I would recommend going back to the cyanogenmod wiki and installing Amon_Ra's recovery. Then you can use it to flash your installation zip.
Step 5 - Install JB or ICS:
Now turn your phone off and boot into recovery as you did in step 2.
4ext will load. Select "wipe/format" → "format all partitions (except sdcard)" and then also "wipe data/factory reset."
Now go back and select "install from sdcard" → "choose zip from sdcard" → and then select the ICS or JB zip you copied to the SD card in step 3.
Now either the ICS/JB installer will load or it will just install in one step. Just follow the prompts to install and enjoy.
Depending on the ROM you chose you may need to install Google apps (see the specific ROM thread for details) and will also likely want to flash an apps-to-SD script as mentioned above so you do not run out of space.
This method worked perfectly for me, hopefully it will work well for you as well. Enjoy.
Great work, your guide is amazing!!! I followeed it and ended with an infinite bootanimation , I'm trying to discover what I did wrong :fingers-crossed:, but the guide was superb!

I am sorry to hear that. Can you boot into recovery or is that broken as well? If you can boot into ext recovery try selecting "wipe/restore" → "wipe data/factory reset" and then try to install BCM again. I probably should have added that above, I will do that now.
If your recovery is broken but you can get into the bootloader (holding down trackball while starting up), you should be ok. You will probably need to flash Amon_Ra's Recovery using Hboot as was described in the guide from cyanogenmod link above. If there is a way to directly hboot flash 4ext recovery I don't know how to do it. Then you can try installing BCM again from the Amon_Ra's recovery and re-install 4ext after you get everything working.
I tried the Texasice ROM and it worked, but I didn't like it! Later I tried again BCM and It worked! I dont know, maybe I did something wrong... Anyway thanks again for the guide!!

I am not sure which part you are referring to, but, yes, a few of the above instructions could be replaced with fastboot commands.
The adb commands, instead using adb I can use fastboot commands right. That's what I used to root my n1 kinda familiar with fastboot. Thx

I used the adb commands above because you can use adb to reboot directly into recovery (fastboot you can only reboot normally or into the bootloader) and you can also use adb to directly install apk files - fastboot cannot do those two things - it is more for flashing images (recovery, roms, etc). In order for adb to work make sure you have usb debugging enabled: go to "Settings" → "Applications" → "Development" → enable "USB debugging."
Note that adb commands are not required - you can reboot into recovery and install the 4ext manually.
It won't let me post a link right now, but just google "adb commands" to find a list of all the commands you can use.
Hope that helps.
Thx. All I need it was to install black rose and partition it. Put zip on SD card wipe and flash. Installation was easier than I thought it would be lol
Also on ur guide you forgot to put 200 for the data part. You only had 220 and 16
Thx again got ics installed on my n1 smoother than cm 7.2

Yeah, its not bad - glad you got it working! ICS has been smoother than cm 7.2 for me as well.
Blackrose didn't ask me about userdata - it just assumed that automatically after putting in 220 system and 16 cache... I'll make note of that in the guide so its clearer. Thanks.
Got the issue with not being able to get into recovery after step 4, but I don't have the recovery image to flash. Once the SD card was formatted in step 2 I don't have a download folder. I attached what is in my SD card right now. Help please.
Look for "recovery.img"

Try to find if there is a "recovery.img" anywhere on your SD card, perhaps in the 4ext folder?
If you can't find it, do not worry, you can just go to the first page of this thread, click on the link labeled "follow this guide from Cyanogenmod" and then go to the section on how to download and install Amon_Ra's Recovery. Once you get Amon_Ra's recovery flashed you will be able to install any ROM of your choice.
You can reinstall the 4ext recovery later if you want.

OK I'm stuck on what the path name is suppose to be. I tried it every way I can think of. Can you take a look at my screen shot, and tell me where I'm going wrong? The recovery image is on my desktop, so I'm not sure what exactly I should be replacing "path" with. I tried it from the link, and how you have it in your note. You don't have the "/to/" after path as in the CM link.
Well I tried a couple more times, and I can get it to seemingly do it, but it just hangs on this: (see screen shot) I get no error, and if I try to enter recovery on the phone I still get the reboot to the android and triangle with the ! in it.
place the recovery under the folder which contains fastboot.exe and rename it to recovery.img
now use the command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img from platform-tools directory

And right-click this folder while pressing the SHIFT key on your keyboard. Then choose "Open command window here".

WOW Thank you both. I spent literally hours yesterday trying to get it to work. Tried your suggestions, and in five minutes it was up and running!
---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 AM ----------
I may have spoke too soon. I followed the instructions to the end. Installed the ROM, and rebooted, but now after the X I get the Spazdog splash screen with the big Z in the middle and green dots moving, but it stays there forever. I waited 20 minutes one time. Tried reflashing, but I get the same thing.
---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 PM ----------
Just giving an update on progress (in case someone else is in my boat too) Flashed back to stock GB. Reinstalled recovery, and reflashed Spaz. Got past the X, and the splash screen, but now it's stuck on the Android logo that looks like the night rider beam that goes across the word. Been there now for about 10 minutes.
You do have Blackrose, right?
Yep. Installed everything according to OP. I think it may be the partition sizes as I think flashing back to GB messed with them. It says 220 and 10, but after checking some threads, it looks like there is one missing (userdata). I tried flashing a custom GB from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1214543&page=98 and I was able to install everything. Got it up and running, so I'm going to start over for ICS, or do you think I can flash one of these for ICS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637166 , and then just flash the ROM after?
220/10 means that you have 220MB for system and 10MB for cache, everything that's left will be userdata, so it doesn't ask (total is ~436MB, so userdata will be ~206MB in that case).
In HBOOT you can check how large your partitions are, or you could use the FreeSpace app for example. Always make sure your system partition is large enough before flashing a ROM.
This Tutorial may also work for Other Android One Devices,But i can't ensure as i m using Symphony.
