I am trying to root my phone following the "Rooting ALL Non-Sprint CDMA Heros Stuck On 1.5 From Sprint's 2.1 RUU" tutorial
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6142906
I created a gold card, copied the hercimg.zip to the root dir of my sd card, and started hboot with volume down and power.
The phone will unzip the file but once it is done checking it goes back to the menu screen with the following options
[vol up] fastboot
[back] simlock
[home recovery
Now I was able to run the hercimg.zip file once and installed it by hitting [action]. The phone eventually returned to the menu screen mentioned above. It never asked me to reboot the phone by pressing [action].
Thinking that step of the tutorial was done I tried to install a custom recovery image but it wont let me do it. It would fail when I try to push/install from cmd I also can't run the adb remount command.
So now I am sort of stuck. I am thinking if I could get the hercimg to reinstall it would fix my problem. But I haven't been able to find anything.
A side note I am able to still use my phone. As far as I can tell it is still functioning fine. I just don't have any root access.
I also tried re-creating my gold card but that hasn't helped either.
As for the forum link I added xx instead of tt so you can find the tutorial a little easier, as I can't post links yet.
Well I have been looking around and would it be possible to install the contents of the hercimg.zip by running
adb devices
adb shell reboot oem-78
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I looked and I am already running HBOOT 1.47
and my Radio is 2.42.00.03.10
Hi all,
Please how to simply root Nexus One?
This tutorial is to hard "
[Tutorial] Root FRF85B/FRF83/FRF72 (T-Mo/AT&T) Without Unlocking (100% Confirmed) "
No superboot.zip available for FRF85B?
Simply root = unlock bootloader. The second tutorial.
superboot.zip has nothing to do with the way of rooting. Rooting needs to bypass device protection to flash a non-certified update. So you either use exploits, or use the built-in protection override (fastboot oem unlock).
Depends on the status of your bootloader really.
If you want to keep it locked then that tutorial is your only hope.
I have unlocked bootloader but no superuser.apk and no Root privilege
About second Tutorial, we need linux....
If you have unlocked bootloader, what's the problem flashing pre-rooted FRF85B?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714184
I have already flashing my Nexus with Unrooted version because i had signature problem with pre-rooted version.
Now to re-install pre-rooted FRF85 version i need Custom Recovery but I need root to install custom recovery...
No way to have superboot.bat to simply rooted my FRF85?
To install custom recovery you only need to flash it via fastboot, since your bootloader is unlocked.
You can also use ROOT_FRF83 file from the "difficult" thread, if I'm not mistaken.

Thank's for your reply.
I will install custom Recovery to flash with pre-rooted version.
I need wipe before flashing with pre-rooted version?
No wipe needed.
About Custom recovery :
Pre-Requirements :
- unlocked bootloader : How to unlock the bootloader.
- root access : Modaco's superboot.
I have install recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1.img without rooting my nexus and now I have exclamation mark with a little Android...
Ok, did some search for you. Next time try - search button, "FRF85 root".
Reflash the stock recovery back.
Then use this:

Under "ROOT".
i have re-flash with stock recovery 2 times but still exclamation mark with a little Android.
Ok i push "Vol+" and "power", stock recoveruy appear
apply sdcard:update.zip (update-nexusone-FRF85-root-sig.zip from HTC EPIA)
--> E:signature verification failed..
Installation aborded
What about ROOT_FRF83.ZIP - did you try?
ROOT_FRF83.zip is for locked bootloader... mine is unlocked.
As i see i need linux and to make this command to root my stock FRF85B..
16) Download the following to the root of your SDcard
- recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1.img: http://rapidshare.com/files/39326736...s-v1.7.0.1.img
- Note: UnMount your SDcard after copying these files, but keep your phone plugged in
17) In your terminal type "adb shell" and hit Enter
18) In your terminal type "su" and hit Enter
- Tip: At this point, it will hang until you choose "Allow" on your phone with the SuperUser app pop-up
- Tip: $ should now be replaced with #
19) In your terminal, type "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system" and hit Enter
20) In your terminal, type "cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image" and hit Enter
21) In your terminal, type "chmod 775 /system/bin/flash_image" and hit Enter
22) In your terminal, type "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1.img" and hit Enter
23) In your terminal, type "rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh" and hit Enter
24) In your terminal, type "rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p" and hit Enter

ROOT_FRF83 is for ANY bootloader. It doesn't care about bootloader.
Download it to your SD card, rename to update.zip and apply. It might not work - in this case, you have nothing to do but to follow the other guide, or wait until someone makes FRF85B superboot for stock ROM and recovery.
The part you've quoted is way past the actual root. Read the thread again, the root ends much earlier.
You need to do steps 1-15, and you need no Linux.
I checked again in Paul's thread, STOCK to CM.
There is NO requirement for root to flash custom recovery through fastboot. Otherwise fastboot wouldn't help any in rooting - think yourself, you need root to flash recovery, and you need recovery to flash root?
Here's a quote from there:
- If you get a Triangle with a ! in the middle alongside an Android for 5+ minutes, you MAY have to remove battery and re-flash recovery (I had to do this once.) (Make absolutely sure that nothing is happening on your phone, as removing the battery when it's doing something can cause a brick.)
So you can try this one and flash AmonRa's recovery again. If it doesn't work, and it turns out that you need Modaco's superboot (which doesn't exist for your version) - then you're back to the second guide.
I have always triangle with a ! after removing batterie, AmonRa's recovery won't appear...
I will wait superboot from paul.

Hey thanks!
I was having the exact same issue & I now have a cyan recovery & root access on the stock FRF85B
I wrote this Noob manual to help others achieve the same goal: Root the Nexus One. Thanks goes out to the XDA forums for such fantastic community support. In my quest to root, was overwhelmed and confused with the various ways to do it. Should you root by unlocking the bootloader or not, should you downgrade, then upgrade, which recovery image to use, how to flash a recovery image, everything shows "superboot" bla bla bla. We all have the same questions, but this can be a pain-staking process to find the answers. Here's a short guide that may help you root the phone.
Overview of the process: A) Unlock Bootloader B) Flash Recovery Image C) Install Rom through Recovery. D) Phone now unlocked and rooted.
1) Setup adb and confirm it's working by reading your serial number.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=613217
2) Unlock bootloader (voids warranty but htc may still repair). Turn on USB debugging (may need to toggle usb debugging off to move files to sd card, then back on for adb). Reboot phone into fastboot:
Power off device and hold down trackball while powering back on. The fastboot screen is the one with the Androids on skateboards.
Open a command prompt and navigate to your Android SDK tools folder.
Type ‘fastboot devices‘ to make sure your phone is recognized.
Type ‘fastboot oem unlock‘ to unlock the bootloader.
Use volume keys to navigate to yes and press the power button to confirm.
3) Flash Aman RA Recovery in fastboot (immediately following flash, go into recovery console before rebooting or the recovery image may not show up). The stock rom will re-flash recovery during boot because of scripts. Recovery rom should be placed in adb folder. To reboot into recovery from adb type 'reboot recovery'. Copy the recovery file to your Android SDK tools folder. Open a command prompt and navigate to your Android SDK tools folder. Type ‘fastboot flash recovery recovery.img‘ (or whatever the recovery file name is).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829
4) While in fastboot, select "Recovery" and new Recovery screen shows up. FRF91 signed image or custom rom should be on the sd card.
Download signed FRF91 signed image for rooting (only after adb is working, the bootloader has been unlocked and recovery image successfully flashed.
5) Flash Froyo 2.2 rooted & signed update file.
(update-nexusone-FRF91-root-signed.zip)

Worked like a champ! Oh and yes it will wipe all your data... I thought maybe it wouldn't since you didn't say, but it did... oh well it's all backed up in my gmail, so it'll be ok.
Hello Folks,
I'm still stuck with my nexus one since I don't care that much about phones.
I've seen that jelly bean roms have made a significant progress. Thus I decided to give it a shot.
I started with installing adb and fastboot. :good: After that I rooted the nexus one :good: I've used this how to:
c2med blog, can't post links...
Next, I ran blackrose. :good: I saved the rom on the micro sd. Having done all the preperations I wanted to flash the JB rom.
I started the phone in bootloader mode but - unfortunately - couldn't access the recovery mode (ext4). I only get the Android figure and an exclamation mark.
In the how-to it sais i should use fastboot to flash the recovery made by ext 4.
Problem # 1: Ext4 generated a .zip, not a .img file
Problem # 2: I connect the device in fastboot mode, navigate to the adb/fastboot folder and use ./fastboot devices. The phone is recognized and I see the serial number. Next I try "flash recovery...." but I only get "command not found". Now, I basically have no idea what to do.
Which recovery should I flash? And how?
I'm so looking forward to your answers.

What you get is the stock recovery.
Flash 4Ext recovery or Amon RA recovery ( fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img)
Among the several guides to install JB, I suggest you to look at the following post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804571
I just finished this morning the following process:
install RA recovery,
install Blackrose and resize partition,
install from SD card Evervolv-Perdo-3.2.0-Nightly-2013.01.13-passion.zip
install from SD card gapps-ev-jb-20120816.zip
I spent a lot of times reading and trying. I had an issue after installing Evervolv-perdo-3.1.0final-passion zip. That's why I switched to the Nightly (JB 4.2).
Once you are set install a2sd from within the terminal emulator on your N1.
In my opinion this is so far the best ROM I ever have had on my Nexus 1.:good:
I am impressed to the extend that I offer to my wife to do the same on her N1. She said no. No to unlock, no to root and of course no to custom ROM.
Good luck
Hi,
thanks for your reply. Thats basically what i did as well. But after using Blackrose i can't go into the recovery mode.
I used the same tutorial. The problem lies here:
"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."
It seems like I am unable to understand what I am supposed to do. Could somebody give me a step by step advice? I would prefer using some other recovery.img than mine...

It happened to me. I just re-flashed Amon RA recovery from the fastboot mode. Maybe somewhere you missed a step?

In other words open your folder android-sdk-windows installed on the root of your C: hd. Click on the folder platform-tools and download Amon RA recovery in this folder. Left click anywhere on a blank area of this folder then press the key Shift (keyboard) and right click your mouse. In the drop down menu select Open command window. In the CMD, to be sure that the N1 is recognized by the pc (meaning the right drivers are installed) type ADB devices and press enter. You should see a string of numbers like HT9C......
Type adb reboot bootloader and press enter. You are in the fastboot mode ( and mood if I may say so) and the phone shows that it is in the bootloader. You can check again that N1 is recognized by the pc by typing fastboot devices. Same string appears.
Type fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img.
After the installation is completed boot in recovery, select Flash zip from sdcard, select the ROM you have dropped on the card. When the installation is completed go back to Flash zip from sdcard ( you are still in recovery mode) and select the gapps you have dropped on the sdcard.
Go back to Reboot system now. You are then out of the recovery and it takes some times for the N1 to boot to this beautiful JB

As c2med posted in his guide, sometimes, people lose their recovery when they repartition using Black Rose. Hence, its always best to have Amon-RA or 4EXT flashable .img file in your PC so that incase you lose recovery, you can always flash it back.
Once you are in bootloader ( also called FASTBOOT mode) you can flash your recovery.
Then reboot into recovery from FASTBOOT (Shutdown and then restart using the recovery combination)
Once you are in recovery, follow the steps in c2med's guide (wipe cache/dalvik/etc - except sd-card ofcourse) and flash your ROM from sd card.
Then reboot into JayBee
In the screenshot you type:
$ ./fastboot devices
then you type:
$ flash recovery ......../recovery.img
Command not found.... Sure, flash it's not a command...
You need to type fastboot command first!
$ ./fastboot flash recovery ......../recovery.img

Thank You! That's what I figuered out last night. Of course I also tried "fastboot flash" but forgot the "./". That was the key. Now the JB ROM works like a charm.
New Problem:
I can't install google apps. In fact I don't really need them. I only use a few apps and found the .apk files with google. Unfortunately the "official" Google apps like chrome don't work.
Plus, I wanted to install the camera (laggy in the evervolv - rom) and keyboard from here.

When you're in recovery, select "Flash zip from SD card" and then select "Toggle signature verification" to disable signature verification, and then "Choose zip from SD card" and navigate to the zip file that you want to flash.
I have the bootloader unlocked but I dont know how to root my 3t on 4.0.2. Can someone link me a tutorial.
Easiest way is to use the toolkit.
Since you already have an unlocked bootloader, you only have to flash twrp, then SuperSU.
1) Connect your phone to your computer, phone only has to be booted normally (not fastboot). Make sure USB debugging is on.
2) Open the toolkit, make sure that you phone's bootloader is indeed unlocked by using option 5. This will reboot your phone into fastboot to check. Reboot normally after.
3) Use option 6 to flash TWRP, wait until it finishes.
4) Use option 9 to place the SuperSU zip onto your phone's internal storage.
5) Reboot into recovery (you can either use option 15 in the toolkit or do it manually through your phone's advanced reboot or hardware buttons).
5.5*) I would advise you to take a nandroid backup in TWRP at this point, in case anything goes wrong.
6) In TWRP, select "Install" and find SuperSU.zip, it should be in /sdcard
7) Flash SuperSU (click SuperSU.zip, swipe right when prompted) and reboot. You should be rooted.
