Hi Guys
I agree there are TONS of threads on this forum, but somehow, not all of them describe the same steps (or maybe just that I'm a little too confused)
I have a stock unlocked N1 with FRF91 and would like to root my phone
Basically the whole idea behind rooting my N1 is to be able to use ShootMe (screenshot app)
Can someone please give me some step-by-step instructions on how to do it?
I'm actually a n00b at Android, so any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!
I don't think there is a way yet with stock.

So how have so many people got FRF91 rooted?

I'm glad we agree.
I'll give you a hint, though. You need to find two threads to do what you need. Both the threads that you need are in the first page of the dev forum. The mere act of glancing over the titles of the thread won't get you anywhere, try reading some of them for a change.
EDIT-I take it back, there's only one thread you need to find. And considering how prominent a position it's holding in that forum, it's plain obvious that you haven't bothered to look.

The whole point of these forums is to help people out, not to degrade them. They might be new to the site and dont know how its set up. Try not being a jerk and actually help them out. You know like direct them to the thread w/ a link.

Thanks buddy. I'll try to search a little more to see what thread applies for my situation at the moment.
I am sure that erikikaz must've gone through the thread that he/she thinks applies to me, but a link to it would've been a lot easier.

No, I didn't go through the thread before deciding to not link it. I just know that the thread is there. If you had looked for it, you would have seen it. The previously-mentioned thread has been stickied in the previously-mentioned forum for at least a week now. Considering that stickied topics are an obvious READ-ME-FIRST tactic, well, you should have known better and actually looked.
And yes, it would have been a lot easier--a lot easier for you, had I posted the link. Waiting for someone else to do the work for your is not how you learn.

I tried to go through most of the forum posts but I dont think I could find my answers..
I was wondering if anyone knows what is wrong with my phone. I did an update and now my phone wont work back to normal. All it shows up is the G1 words across a black screen and that is about it.
When I tried to do a reboot it wouldn't work, I can no longer connect my phone with my USB to the computer, so what other options do I have with this matter? I know my phone isn't a brick.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks and good night..

I thought this was more appropriate, since according to the OP he searched and couldn't find an answer anywhere on the forums, and this shows that there are in fact thousands of his exact question that have been answered. I like the shock and awe of 57,900 results.

When he said he searched does he mean he, put the query in and just sit there hoping for results or did he actually press the Seach button

your title is completely misleading and your post is in the completely wrong section
please change the thread title (edit the original post and change the text in the smaller of the two boxes)
and beware the remnants of the wrecking crew - if they find this you will have 40 pages of nonsense in a few minutes

I agree that this "user" was wrongful in creating this thread in the wrong forum/sub-forum, but let it go.

And of course its threads like these that causes the remarks.. I honestly don't see how you "looked". Though if I werent educated in Android, I probably would've posted without really looking, or searching, either.

There's no way you looked... that thread I linked you to was literally 5-6 threads down the page on which you posted! Next time just search and look before posting a new thread... chances are very high most questions have already been asked. That will save you the embarrassment of getting flamed, and yes it's deserved if you learn from it, and will cut down on clutter and the rash of pointless and/or repeat threads in our beloved forum.
new to the forum need help my sprint hero is 1.5 i want to root it and overclock but i do want to keep sprint tv and sprint nav thnx
Have u read up on the process of rooting.?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
yes i did but all seemed geared at the 2.1 update so can i root or do i update to 2.1 then proceed
There are directions to root 1.5 and 2.1 everywhere here you just have to give some actual effort to look for them. I'd suggest going to geekfor.me and use the kitchen to autoroot it.
Why root 1.5 when your going to upgrade to 2.1 anyway? Why not just RUU to 2.1 and then root it?
OMG...what is going on...SEARCH! ALSO there is a Q&A section specifically for these problems. This is the ANDROID DEVELOPMENT section. Im not trying to be mean but please read the rules about posting before posting.
On a side note i would suggest using the universal 1 click or REGNAW's method.
dude chill at the moment i have no problem, n01un0 answered my question thnx anyway, i searched i preformed the steps and i think i'm rooted now i'm wanna try ZenHeroFX 2.1 Lite

I completely disagree. There are a mere 3 stickies in the Development forum, of which one clearly, in the title, says "Don't post questions here!" This was a question, which directly violates the rules. Not only that, it's the most basic question of all (how to get started) which is also answered in the stickies. Why should we make any effort to help the OP (and many others on these boards) when they obviously made no effort of their own?
If you don't agree with me and feel the "purpose" of XDA is to baby everyone, I'd encourage you to check out some of the other sections that still have some activity and mods who care. You will find them to be a drastically different experience.
I'm sorry but clearly he had to open the main cdma hero forum part. He SHOULD HAVE seen Q&A. Then decides to post in development. I'm not trying to be a prick I'm following The rule's. Like above..if he would of bothered of making an effort he would have seen the sticky saying don't post questions. I just feel when some blatantly makes no effort to search or follow rules they should not be handed something. And I did answer his question if u guys would have looked at my post.
Regaw sorry for spelling ur name wrong man..my apologies.

No problem man, simple mistake.
I do like the rules that are set here (with the stickies and such) but I do remember the feeling of just finding xda (which was my first forum experience) and how overwhelmed and confused I was. I did mess up in the beginning, with my posting, but I was never bashed. I know you guys weren't bashing him (well I hope not) but you have to realize that he won't make this mistake again, it was a simple mistake. I didn't even know what a "sticky" was when I joined in January haha.

Everyone cool your jets. you got rockets in your pockets? I see nothing wrong with what t12icky0 originally posted. He answered the questioned and suggested what everyone else would have suggested--searching & reading more.
I also have to agree. There are other forums obviously specifically for questions or general talk along with the sticky here saying that as well. I'm not bashing OP. It just never hurts to do your best searching for your answer, and if you come up short, post.
Also let's chill with the foul language.
Everyone have a great day. Thread closed.

hye,im just flashing my tab yesterday with overcome rom.then i started with odin after it finished odin shows FAILED! then my phone turned off automatically leave the screen blanked.now i can't do anything to the phone even if want to enter the downloading mode.there is nothing i can do and just leave the screen blank.is there any help for me?i'm seriously pissed off.please help me.
sorry but 50 viewers and still no help?
Did you do a backup beforehand? If so, restore it. If not, i would get another Rom and try again.
Sent from my HTC Desire CDMA using XDA Premium App
no i didnt have any backup.what do u mean by getting another rom?im stuck with the blank screen and can't do nothing now.
Try shuttig it off, charging the battery, put in download mode (even if you only see a black screen some people have reported they can flash) and install your stock or another rom. If this doesn't work, you're screwed...
If you didn't check and see if you had locked bootloaders then this may have caused the fail in ODIN...

There is plenty of help if you look for it. People tend to get sick of repeating themselves so its best to read the topics that have already been created on this exact issue.
Using search function and searching topic titles for "bricked" will give you plenty of help.

I explained that there is already info on this exact subject and it would be much more beneficial to him if he searched for it, not only would he learn something along the way but he wil find much better info then he would in this topic.
Im not the only person who feels this way, Its just that im one of teh few who makes it known.
