Some help?

I tried using the search but I get NOTHING relating to how to root a Nexus One, so if someone has the link can you please paste it here? Trust me I wouldn't bother posting this but the forum search is pissing me off.

Try the sticky thread at the top of this forum?

I followed this to the letter the first time through, very straight-forward and easy to follow.

This is either a troll, or a bad attempt at sarcasm
Either way, I'm sure the mods won't like it.

Thread moved to Q&A.

****, do I need to go back to 2.1 to root then? Or am I good to do rooting straight from 2.2?

The basic steps are the same. Flash the recovery image as instructed in that guide, and then flash a pre-rooted kernel like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686627
That's gonna be the easiest method for you I think.

Hmm I did it the way I remembered with the oem unlock, recovery image flash, then the addon zip and it seems to have worked fine. Bootloader is unlocked and I am rooted, still running Froyo, but now am missing my keyboard...
Ah screw it I'm going to go with the FRF50 and see if that pans out and if not there is always a CM'd 2.1 to fall back to.

Try it with the kernel I linked to? It's optimized for FroYo.

Alright if the FRF50 doesn't install or work properly I'll go with a stock 2.2 and try that.
I love how easy it is to **** up this phone and yet fix it so easily.

And that, right there, is one of my favorite things about this platform. You're free to break the rules and try new things. When something doesn't work, you're not stuck - you can find a way to fix it or work your way around it. I love it

Yup couldn't agree more and 99% of the time all it takes is a wipe of everything and start over, and I love that I can do that. Like I screwed up the root and the OS was booting into landscape mode, for everything. Thank god the files downloaded fast and its back to normal!
By the way, with the root on 2.2, all the applications and what not should still work right? Like marketenabler and setcpu? Speaking of setcpu am I still safe to use the UV and OC kernal with 2.2 or should I avoid that?

I'm running the 2.6.34 OC/UV kernel that I linked you to - clocked to 1113MHz with SetCPU - works flawlessly. No issues here so far, and I've been running that setup since Sunday.

How would I do that then, my Froyo is already rooted, can I just reflash that and be all good or how else do I get that kernal?

If you've got an aftermarket recovery image installed, you can just download the zip file that is linked in that other thread, put it on your microSD card, and flash it from recovery.

Very awesome and it worked fine.
I'm going to guess I am missing a nice chunk of Marketplace apps because this is 2.2, notably some of the ones I bought, but its no biggie; marketplace enabler isn't installing but once again its a small trade off for what I am getting.

Glad it worked for you.
On the Market stuff, look around - I believe there are several threads discussing the issues and possible fixes/workarounds. I'm roaming in the middle of the desert so no Market to be found here or else I'd be able to help more.
Good luck!

Applying RyanZA's lagfix from a x64 system

So I've been reading about RyanZA's lagfix and it seems awesome but on the topics it keeps saying that if you flash from a x64 system it won't work or if it does, it will have lots of bugs.
Can anyone confirm/deny this? Or write some steps on how to do it from a x64 system. I only have my x64 machine and I am seriously afraid of bricking the phone cause I paid $550 for it. I'm not too familiar with ODIN to be a pro at flashing so I'd rather NOT have to go to that option.

Works fine for me. Just make sure u have the USB drivers installed. I did it successfully with one click method with lagmefix bat, and the update zip method. Quadrant scores 2200s

If your not comfortable using odin then I strongly suggest you not do anything to your phone. Odin is your last line of defense, I would learn how to use that first before doing anything to your phone as anything can happen no matter how careful you are.
Also this question should be asked in the general section.
Feel so Vibrant!

First, I've applied the fix from my x64 system, twice (windows 7 x64 and osx 10.6), and didn't have any issues at all, so I don't know where you read that. I also reverted, and don't run a lagfix anymore, because of file system corruption issues.
Second, you WILL have issues with the lagfix, eventually, if you don't flash JAC's kernel or another hack/kernel with init.d support to run a filesystem check on the ext2 partition at boot, as ext2 can become corrupted quite fast.
Third, if you're seriously afraid of bricking your phone, why do you want to hack it at all and void the warranty?
All of the tweaks and hacks in this forum will be very experimental, and sometimes changing almost daily. With all of them, bricking is a risk (albeit a very small risk unless you're flashing the EU I9000 2.2 beta firmware) but a risk nonetheless.
Lastly, if you're still scared of applying the fix from your x64 system, just push the scripts to your internal sdcard and run the commands manually from a terminal emulator on the phone. I'm sorry for coming off so cold, but if you can't figure out how to do that, why are you in the Dev forum?
good luck, and cheers,
=)

^^^^This is what you want to do minus the update.zip I have a Widows 7 x64 system and have done the lagmefix.bat to my vibrant and to my friends captivate with no issues at all I've been running it for awhile and everything is still snappy. I haven't ran the unlagfixme.bat because I like the lag being gone so much that I don't see why I would

I see and understand what you mean with the odin thing. I know how to use it but since I never have, I'm nervous about it. What kind of file system corruption issues are you referring to? And us it advisable I flash jacs thing on it to prevent them? I almost never restart the phone or let it turn off so idk how that would help.
My phone is already rooted and I have made a nandroid but I'm stil nervous simply cause I'm fairly new to it, not cause I'm not willing.

No issues here, on Win7 32bit and 64bit

AlienZ,
I have Win7 64 as well, I've installed RyansZA 1.0, with .zip install and uninstalled.
Installed 2.0 with the script and uninstalled.
Installed 2.3 as and uninstalled with script.
All worked flawlessly.
Also installed Chainfire's 1.8 .exe, and uninstalled. While this lag fix was installed I had some issues with installing APPS.
I got rid of them mostly because I didn't see much of a speed difference other then the Quad score.
Here is my Odin directions after I fumbled my way through it. But more importatly a link to the drivers.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7687769&postcount=284

I didn't run RyanZa's fix but chainfire's instead from a Win 7 x64 system with no problems.
quadrant scores are only 1700 but it is using ext3 and checks the file system on every boot

So is there a lag fix which does not corrupt or cause apps to have problems installing?

Theoretically should they pop up the more you use it?
Is there a lag fix which doesn't have that drawback of slowly ****ing your files? I don't care if its a tad slower than Ryan's

I guess anything is possible I haven't seen it happing on mine and if it does I guess Ill be flashing with odin when that time comes, where are you seeing that the drawback of this lag fix is slowly messing up your files ? Check out what Calcvitim was talking about HERE I've never used it but it looks well developed to me.

Currently there are issues with this and the JI6 update so keep that in mind. It breaks USB mounting and Haptic feedback. Not sure when this will be fixed. Just letting ya know.

I you use the same app and apply the v1+ it should work fine. It does not seem to have the errors of v2. The storage info seem correct as weel. I think is was updated to a fixed v1.

I Can attest that this is the real deal. I was having problems getting Jac Kernel to be enabled on my device. I would Install and reinstall eugene froyo then back to stock vibrant and then bionix latest roms only to get 900 quadrant each time after setting up set cpu. I searched the threads for the last two days looking for what could possibly be causing my quadrant to never go past 900 to 950 even though I installed exactly like instructed. I would mount in terminal shell and would get mmc/blk op2 or something which indicated the kernel was not enabled. I downloaded one click lag fix and unrooted but the lag fix couldnt be applied becasue it stated I had a lagfix already applied. WHAT! OCLF gave me the message playlogos1 installed in systems/bin so I read on the threads that you were suppose to delete it but I didnt notice that it also said after you delete to copy it back once OCLF stated that it coudnt be found. OH SNAP! I didnt copy. I googled oops I've DELETED PLAYLOGOS1 what should I do and low and behold In the RYAN LAGFIX threads there was zip provided that would fix anything in your system that would keep the phone from enabling kernel including installing EXT/2 and PLAYLOGOS1 files and others on the phone from a command setup. I did this it took a few minutes to complete while phone was plugged to computer, but once it was done rearranging or fixing what was wrong my phone rebooted I ran quadrant and OH MY GOD. 2695 Quadrant on JAC UV/OC Kernel 1.1 Bionix 1.8 Rom. I swear I can just look like I want to touch my phone and this thing is SUPERFAST and battery life is AMAZING. 2695 QUADRANT WOW. Cant imagine what 2.2 Froyo is going to be like on my vibrant, DO THIS NOW IT'S AMAZING!!

[Q] HELP! OCLF issue!

Hey guys,
Was playing around with my phone today and noticed there was a later version of OCLF, so I decided to give it a try. I disabled the first one, it ran it's thing, rebooted, and when I try to install the latest version, it'll say "you already appear to have another lag fix installed! (/system/bin/playlogos1 less than 5KB).
Now I have no lag fix (huge difference!). I installed ASTRO and attempted to just remove the playlogos1 file, but it gives me an error. I even SSH'd into it and it gave me an error. I restored it via ROM Manager, and still didn't work.
I can't say I'd recommend this lagfix to people.
HELP! PLEASE!!

Once you open OCLF, click on the option to "Restore Boot Animation" This fixed the same issue for me.

I'm going to have to disagree with you. There's nothing wrong with OCLF. I've used it on all my firmwares, no problems at all. For it's ease of use, ease of installation and removal, nothing beats it.

Wow, been working my head off on this one.. restoring the boot animation worked fine with me thanks a million

restoring boot file didn't work for me
Hi,
I am having the same problem
Seems to be stuck in between lag fix and undo lag fix
I have a captivate that I bought from Rogers.
I rooted the phone, then I applied the lag fix using OCLF lag fix.
I decided to undo the lag fix in preparation of the rogers froyo release...
It seems that the undo succeeded (no obvious errors anyways)
When I went back to the OCFL app, the oneclicklagfix v2.2+ and v1+ are unavailble in red, when I "You already appear to have another lag fix installed! (/system/bin/playlogos1 less than 5KB)"
I did a restore boot animation to restore the playlogos1 file... but nothing changed.
the undo lag fixes (2.2+ and 1) are also unavailable
I tried Uninstalling ext2 tools (option available) I got this error:
Remove EXT2 Tools failed with error:Couldn't remove library libext2_blkid.so:rm:can't remove'/system/lib/libext2_blkd.so':Read -only file system.
I've checked the internal phone storage available space: 1.69 GB.
Can someone please help? Did the lag fix undo work? is it safe to upgrade to froyo with this issue (once it is release from Rogers that is)
Thanks

I use to have that problem. I could solve it by restoring boot animation.
Later it doesn't work. And I think it was like flashing that caused it. I recommend you to go to stock rom and master clear then try it out.

[Q] CM 7.1 with all the goodies

I'm having a problem installing CM 7.1 and all the speed/memory tweaks. Ive used MANY different roms with alot of tweaks but this one i driving me crazy. Im trying to install CM 7.1 in CWR 2.5.0.7 with the following tweaks...Firerats 1.5.9 auto patcher and KERN 2.6.35.14-10sept-v1 .....the problem is that i can not get it to boot!!!! if i dont install firerats the rom doesnt boot and goes back to CWR...if i do install firerats the screen just hangs on the htc logo...but without the tweaks CM7.1 boots fine
Please help!!

I did the following with success (this is from memory, hopefully I don't miss anything), I'm using firerats 1.5.8. I did not use a single fr patcher.
First, I flashed the firerats REMOVE zip, just to make sure I was really starting over. then flashed the latest CWM unofficial recovery...5.0.2.6.
rebooted to recovery after each step above though, and repeated wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache.
for firerats, had the mdpartmap settings at 125, 20 (just being extra cautious there, I'm seeing some lower numbers bandied about).
Anyway, from the pretty blue recovery screen, I then flashed fr-recovery, (I think it tells you to reboot to recovery again when done, possibly wiping again, anyway, it tells you) then flashed cm 7.1, gapps, kernal, and finally, fr-boot.
Seems I've heard of folks having some difficulty if they don't use a newer recovery, perhaps others can chime in on this.
After some initial settling in and reboots (it was a little hot at first, a few things were a little flakey), everything seems to be running great. I've only had it on here a few days, and I have not tweaked any performance settings, but so far, gps has been rock solid (isn't this ALWAYS a sticky point for some?) and runkeeper has stopped being so crash happy. Need to see how these things behave with age. A clean installation fixes a lot of things for awhile.

Okay, fired up gps status app, and boom, reboot. But like I said, haven't tweaked any performance settings, left everything at defaults. Will tinker eventually.

wow!!! thank you so much for the very fast reply. I am at work at the minute but i am going to try this ASAP!! Thanks again.
I will keep you informed as to how this worked out. Looks like it should work though

Ok thats awesome!! i got it all to work but i can not get android market to work. I just get FC everytime.

Hmm, not sure, did you use the gapps from the OP for CM7.1? Could try redownloading that and flashing it again.
also, what were your firerat settings in the partmap file? Just checking, in case you didn't use mine, which were generous, as I said.
That rather larger second number in the partmap file resolves a lot of market issues, I never have to apply any "market fixes"

My fault. I used 125 2 in the mtd instead of 125 20....worked great!!! now i can use the market...thank you so much!!! just have ooooooonnnneeeeee other small problem.
Now by busybox wont work. Keep saying no root access when obviously i do...and also i can not fix permissions in rom manager..theres always a problem eh.
Hope you can help...you've been great so far!!! got loads more internal space now

Hrm...I have to admit to never using busybox, at least not directly, I usually just install it if asked when I install/update Titanium Backup (after checking the allow unknown sources in applications settings). Are you trying to execute busybox from terminal or something? Apologies if you tried this but if you have Titanium (you should if you don't), then do this:
Go to titanium backup, go to problems then it will install busybox
I just cut and pasted that from ... somewhere.
