[Q] Will 2.3.4 break root on my N1?

So yesterday I finally found some time to root Gingerbread on my Nexus One. We're moving to Germany from the U.S. in a month and the last couple of weeks I just didn't have any time to get it done. I had my N1 rooted when I was on Froyo and was desperate to root it again on GB.
Last night I set a couple of hours aside to familiarize myself with the GingerBreak exploit and ended up with a rooted N1 and Gingerbread 2.3.3
Here's the funny part... not 30 minutes after rooting I get an OTA notification to update to 2.3.4. Go figure!
Can anyone confirm that 2.3.4 will break root on the N1? If so, will the GingerBreak exploit still work to root GB again?
What would be the preferred/easiest method to upgrade to 2.3.4 and retain root?

2.3.4 will break root. just use the gingerbreak app again and youll be rooted

I figured it would break root but just needed some confirmation!
I didn't actually use the .apk but ran the exploit myself. I think this time around I may just use the .apk though.
Is it confirmed that the app will root 2.3.4?

Just boot into recovery, flash the update as file from SD, and then flash the su zip...

This. Not sure why people are so confused like this. This has been the process since the Nexus One launched.

The new OTA break the root
This morning i have rooted my nexus one and root died.
I am trying Gingerbreak 1.2 after 25 minutes i cancelled it.

Wouldn't this method require my boot loader to be unlocked?

Not if you already have a custom recovery installed...

All right, let me recap so I'm not missing anything.
1. I download the 2.3.4 update from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061270, rename it update.zip and place it in the root of my SD
2. Then I download the su zip from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828 and also place it in the root of my SD
3. Then I reboot into Clockwork and apply the update.zip
4. Once that's done I DO NOT reboot and apply the su zip
Is that it or am I missing something?

Don't apply it as an update, because your phone will reboot once it's done. If you reboot, you will lose your custom recovery. Use the "install zip from SD" option...

I tried to apply the update as zip from sd card and I got the following error, which seems to have something to do with google books
apply_patch_check(''/system/app/BooksPhone.apk'',numbers and letters
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip (status 7)
Installation aborted.
Any ideas? Maybe it is because I had integrate Books into ROM? Any solutions?
Thanks a lot.

I'm getting the same error. I thought maybe it was because I had deleted Google Books from my system apps but after restoring the BooksPhone.apk I still get it. Not sure what the problem is.

this is only for those who havent flashed the un-edited update i guess. I flashed the original update too soon and it removed the root access on my wifes N1. I tried flashing the su last night it didnt work, really frustrating... ahihihihi
I was thinking if I flash the backup on 2.3.3 will that bring back the root access? or at least I can already use Gingerbreak then? ty

To do what? To root? This procedure is to, in this case, update to 2.3.4 from 2.3.3 without loosing root.

Now I have an additional question. I wasn't able to use the original update file from Google, presumably because I had deleted the Google Books app. I kept getting the above-mentioned error.
Just out of curiosity, how could I get Google Books back so the update would run? Just placing it in /system/app didn't seem to work.
Not that it really matters, I used the modified update file that danger-rat posted, but for the future I would like to know how I can avoid this error.

I then decided to try and restore my apps via TB, and it doesnt let me batch anything, see anything, etc. It's like I don't have root. Then I tried getting root explorer and it FC's on opening the app. WTF?

This is because you didn't read my post carefully. You should have a EXTERNAL SDCARD in your device first! Because the recovery cann't mount the internal sdcard.

There is another way to check whether the root of your device work or not.
Run cmd in Windows or terminal in Linux.
execute the following cmd:
Code:
adb shell
su -
After you input the "su -" cmd, you should have a dialog to allow root access in your device. I.e, the root works. Otherwise, it doesn't work.
BTW, does your device unlocked and flash the HKTW android 2.3.4 rom?

TOO bad, the zip file should be flashed as the normal way to flash rom.
GOTO recovery then choose this zip file to flash.
BTW, you should copy the zip file to the external sdcard first!

[Q] Question from a 15 year old: How to Root

Hi guys,
I am jennie from the philippines and i'm 15 years old. I recently got a motorola milestone from my brother --- I want to root it and explore but I cannot find an easy way to do it. I tried looking at the instructions but it makes me confuse...

-Turn off the phone, reboot into bootloader mode (power+up on the d-pad)
-Look to see which version you have for your bootloader. Then you want to go to http://android.doshaska.net/rootable and download the SBF for your bootloader. This will enable you to root the phone and install a custom recovery called "OpenRecovery".
-Download the latest version of RSD Lite and the latest version of the Motorola USB Drivers. Place your SBF file on the root of the C drive, and rename it to some one letter name like a.sbf
-Put the phone in bootloader mode, launch RSD Lite, plug in the phone and it should appear. Select your SBF and start. If it all passes, your phone should reboot.
-Once that is done, you want to place OpenRecovery on the ROOT of the SD card. I suggest using FuFu's MiniMod. Once that is done, you want to root the phone. Turn the phone off, and hold power+x, when you see the Motorola M, release the keys and hold camera+volume-up instead.
-You are now into recovery. Using the d-pad, select "apply update.zip", you are now loading up OpenRecovery. I recommend you do a Nandroid backup before you root, and you can do another one after you root.
-Reboot the phone, now you should have Root. If it isn't already installed, install Superuser from the Android Market. This will enable you to manage what can use root permissions.
-Download TitaniumBackup (or MyBackupRoot) and backup all of your applications to the SD card. Anything that is on the phone's memory and not on the SD card will be WIPED.
-Download the custom ROM that you want to flash. For CyanogenMod based ROMs, you will need to flash Google Apps as well. Place them both on your SD card, under OpenRecovery/updates
-Once you are sure that everything you want saved is saved, turn off the phone again and reboot into recovery.
-Select the Wipe Menu and wipe dalvik cache, cache partition and then data(in that order)
-Now navigate to Apply Update and flash the ROM you want. When that is done, wipe ONLY the caches again, flash Google Apps if you need to, wipe caches again.
-Navigate to the miscellaneous menu, and select Change Baseband. Choose the baseband for your country/provider, so you can get 3G.
-Reboot the phone, and you will see that it is taking a longer time to reboot, which is normal because you are booting up a new custom ROM for the first time.
I think that sums everything up If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

If you're looking for an easy (but non-permanent way) of rooting, try Univeral Androot: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20401155/UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5.apk
Keep in mind, that root access will be lost upon reboot and has to be activated again

I believe you're mistaken. I rooted my phone using Universal Androot and have to two other Milestones. I'm pretty sure there's an option to choose a temporary root or a permaroot that you would only lose if you reflash a stock SBF.

I know there is such an option - but somewhere I've overheard that a permanent root wouldn't stick to a stock Milestone.
Seems like I was mistaken - but due to this 'misinformation' I never tried to permaroot using UA.

Were you able to play the game before you rooted? If so, then try using zeppelinrox's memory management script called Supercharger(you run it as root in the app "Script Manager")

No need to use OpenRecovery. All you need to do is download Script Manager from the Market, choose the script on your SD Card, Run as Root and voila!

[Q] Problem with Root after Stock ICS RUU update

I'm having issues getting the Superuser app to grant root to root apps.
The superuser apk is installed but isn't functioning.
Here's what I did. I was coming from pirateghost's CWM root ROM which was built off the stock developer's ICS OTA update (see my signature). I decided to start over since the sync icon would not go away from the notification tab. I know this is a minor issue but it was very annoying staring at it every time I used the phone.
I did the following:
1) Installed Wildchild's recovery using fastboot
2) Wiped all the data from the phone using wildchild's recovery
3) Locked the bootloader
4) Installed the ATT Stock RUU
5) Unlocked the bootloader
6) Reinstalled wildchild's recovery using fastboot
7) Installed the Superuser apk using wildchild's recovery
Everything is working fine and I don't have the sync icon stuck in the notification tab, but now I can't get any root application to be granted root access. The system just times out when the app is requesting root.
I'm guessing that Wildchild's recovery root is not compatible with the stock ICS release, but is this true? I haven't used the vivid all in one kit because it appears to be using the same method to install root. Everytime you install root it blows away all the data on the phone and makes you start from fresh, so I'm reluctant to try anything unless I'm certain it will work.
Any suggestions from the experts?

Yes, this is exactly what I did to the "T", just as in his video. SU is installed on my device but it doesn't grant any privileges to any root apps. I've been digging around searching for answers for about 3 hours and have found many people posting about the same issue but no fix.

3.07 is the latest version of su...redo it with unguarded version see if that works...the rom i used was unrooted and all stock

I saw that and was wondering what "engineering Unguarded superuser" was but didn't know. I guess it's worth a try at this point.

FYI, I used the "Install eng (unguarded) su" and all it did was uninstall the Superuser apk.
Now the root apps respond with a different message when they request root. They don't see the SU app and reply with this statement, before they would hang while they requested SU access.
I'll wait until WC figures out what is going on or just download his ROM.
Are there any known bugs with his ROM?

[email protected] rooting....if going through trouble of unlocking bootloader and flashing a recovery....why not just flash a stock custom rom?....This make no [email protected] do this....Im the first to like completely stock builds,as thats what i use personally...but i cannot stand the at&t bloatware....Main problem with trying to root a stock build is the root access to kernel config....ill upload a stock rooted kernel, if having issues with root after using the recovery you need to install busybox from provided link below.
or flash the boot.img provided.
From original [email protected] guide
- ONCE BOOTED, if you have titanium backup installed but it says there isn't root or busybox isn't installed, download a free app from the market called BUSYBOX INSTALLER. Run this program and proceed in installing busybox. After that, try titanium backup again and it should work.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DMsImNvbS5qcnVtbXkuYnVzeWJveC5pbnN0YWxsZXIiXQ..

I had pirateghost's rooted ICS ROM installed but had the sync notification issue. That's why I decided to go back to the stock RUU. I've always been a stock kind of person. I don't know why, but I've always gone back to stock with my phones then rooted it and debloated it myself.
I'm downloading your ROM right now! Since I already have your recovery installed I'm sure this will be a breeze. Thanks!

Is the stock rooted kernel being referred to boot.zip?
What's the safest way to flash this?

The fastboot flash boot boot.img command is the safest.

I would say if you want root, the best thing to do is install one of Wild Child's roms. Once you install it, you will have root. He has an att build just like the att ruu but without the bloat.
http://www.wcxxperia-nce.com/index.php
This is his site. You have to register to see the vivid forum. Also, make sure to read the rules before installing his rom.

Exact process i did and it is rooted with titanium back up working...so flashing from wcxrecovery does work.
Testing procedure:
1 Flashed fastboot oem relock...success
2 Flashed PH39IMG.zip
3 Said Update was complete
4 Phone rebooted
5 My custom ROM was still present
6 Flashed PH39IMG.zip again
7 My custom ROM was still present
8 Attempted running RUU,Failed
9 Entered fastboot via Hboot menu
10 Re ran ruu,ROM updated completely.
11 Ran bootloader unlock command
12 Flashed wcx recovery (provided)
13 Flashed rooted kernel (provided)
14 Booted ROM,fully loaded
15 Rebooted into recovery
16 Installed superuser and su
17 Signed into Market
18 installed stericson Busybox
19 Installed titanium Backup
20 Succesfully rooted with stock att rom
21 Reboot phone after doing said process above Perm root achieved

All went according to plan. I now have a rooted phone with unbloated ICS kernel, WCX recovery etc. etc.

Thanks WC, This is great
