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!

This is an update.zip aimed at installing over the stock Notion Ink Adam ROM. This will add Root, Market, Adhoc.

this is great thank you rothnic!

Very nice! With community support i have great hopes for the Adam!

Dang! Now I'm even more excited to get my hands on my Adam. (Shipping on the 29th). I appreciate all your effort from when I had my gtablet. Now I can give you (and roe / others) props for fixing my Adam up the way it was supposed to be...

Really hope this works, can anyone test it? My Adam doesn't ship until the 29th

tested.... not working.

I'll take another try at packaging the boot.img. When you say "not working," I could really use some more feedback on it.
Does it flash without errors?
Where does it hang in boot?
Did you wipe cache?
For anyone wanting to install this, just don't add the modfied boot.img. Use the original one.

I don't think I've had the chance to thank you here or back on NIH, but thank you so much for your work so far!

I tried it and my adam will not boot after flashing.

Some people in the AdaN-#.#-BETA thread have replaced the modified boot.img with the original boot.img and that flash is working... Reports are mixed, but it sounds like you can at least get the stock Google Apps working with the flash but being rooted is hit or miss.

I'm pretty sure superuser is a pre-requisite for Titanium Backup to work. Since it reads/writes /system.

Lol, makes sense. Maybe more people on notioninkhacks.com have had success rooting. They might be more active in this department (currently at least), since the device isn't wide spread yet.

Technically you have root out of the box. You only lack the ability to easily mount /system with "adb remount," and you lack Superuser.apk.
In my thread on notioninkhacks.com, in the apps section, in the Gapps post, I show how you can mount system read/write out of the box. I'm working on a boot.img, but it is hard to get access to someone willing to work with me on IRC. I'll be on tonight, so would appreciate some time from some testers.

Basically it's rothnic's stuff, plus some of the other things I added to my GAdam port (and just re-ported it back to the Adam). Adhoc, busybox, all the other goodies we're used to on the GTAB.

Android Market Unstable?

Hello all,
After flashing CyanogenMod the other day, I decided I didn't like it too much. ( Mind you, I just use my phone for basic phone stuff, so please don't flame me for it. xD ) So I used a nandroid to go back to my original (rooted) stuff.
However, in doing this, it seems that it messed up my Market app somehow.
Whenever I try to search, open, or do anything involving the Market App, it'll say: Attention. A network error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen.
It's been like this for a while now. I can use internet, voice-to-text, and anything else that requires data ( not even WiFi works with Market ), but not Market.
What can I do to fix this?

Full wipe. Fresh install of rom+gapps.
Yea its Me Again With The
Modified Hero

@laie - he said he nanded back to rooted stock
@OP - try the nand restore again? Otherwise you could try adb shell fix_permissions?

It tells me that "fix_permissions: not found"
Edit: I've got it fixing now, will edit with update.
Edit(2): It didn't help, sadly.

I don't even remember, but does rooted stock 1.5 allow you to install non-market apps? If so, go find a market 2.3.6 apk on xda or google. Delete the one you have, boot into recovery wipe cache and then reboot, install the app - see if that'll work.

Nope, that didn't work sadly... Ironically, my Market worked perfectly without the updates installed. Is it possible just to block all updates for the Market apk?

this might work for you. a friend was having similar problem. this is what i did (note, i really really think that it was pure coincidence but...) go to SETTINGS -> APPLICATIONS -> MANAGE APPS. locate Market, if Force Stop is not greyed out. then click it, then click Clear Data.
like i said, his was having the same problem, i really think that it may have been a coincidence, but maybe not.

Yes, you need to delete the system app "marketupdater.apk". Also, if you go into settings/manage apps/all/market - can you click the button "uninstall updates"? If not, do you know what market version you had that worked? If so try to find and install that one using the same steps as I mentioned before. If that doesn't work, I'm at a loss.
Also what ngholson just posted is a good idea along with clear cache from the same menu.
I hope you get it figured out, good luck.

Yea and??? He can still start fresh. He posted he did a nand back to his rooted stuff. Which means he can srart fresh. As in wipe data,cache dev-cache and sd-ext. Boot up and then reboot back into recovery reflash gapps. Boot up. Load tb go into settings, manage apps locate market force stop and clear data. Open tb up locate market updater apk. Uninstall. Reboot should be good.

The problem version is 2002306, oddly enough, I've overheard some other people having problems with it as well at a place a friend works. Maybe it's a stock hero thing. I'll revert to an older version, maybe one day this will clear itself out.
Thank you everyone for participating in helping me. At least it was a good effort.

Laie I was just telling you, don't get all frisky. If you read the OP again, you'll see he WANTS to be on stock 1.5. I couldn't tell you why lol. Maybe you forgot (it's been forever) but stock and sense based ROMs already contain gapps. You only flash those on AOSP based ROMs, so he can't reflash gapps. If he wiped and then nand restored it would've restored /system which is where the market would live in a stock ROM. His issue was likely a market auto-update which did not agree with old ass donut stock. Who knows. I wasn't bashing you, and I'm not now, calm down. Hopefully this info helps you help someone later. Peace.
OP- I have ONE MORE idea. Go grab a themed market zip from xda member "pendo" - he has green, blue, and red. They should flash from recovery. Delete your current market app FIRST, and clear cache and dalvik cache in recovery, flash and reboot. Good luck.
EDIT: 2 ideas I guess, copy the nand backup to your computer, find the "marketupdater.apk" in /system/app and delete it out of the nand. Copy that new nand to the same place as the current one you have and try to wipe all then restore that newish one.... I actally have NO idea if you can alter a nand or the system.img it contains, but it may be worth a shot. You could also just give up, and get gingerbread, because it's AWESOME.

@OP - You could also try one of the *ahm* market replacements. like *ahm* applanet or something (not sure how 'legal' they are but...)
also, i know someone mentioned it before but did you ever get your permissions fixed? if not try that too, you can do it from ROM Manager.

Not restored 1.5. And nope I remember 1.5 and I'm aware of the gapps only flash with aosp. I posted my comment because he didn't say 1.5 so I took a guess as he was not on 1.5 because he didn't mention it. So mabey this will help you help someone in the future slow it down when ya read.

That's about it. I think it's all worked flawlessly until the radio, but I'm not sure. If I'm missing any info, please let me know.

maybe consider starting completely over. download a new rom, i recommend aospcmod. download the latest version of gapps at the same time. if you don't already have it install ROMManager from errr. damnit your market doesn't work... hopefully you already have it. Open rom manager and install a custom recovery (i recommend clockworkmod) once that is done copy both the new rom and gapps zips to your sdcard, reboot to recovery (either manually or using rommanager) wipe everything. then select 'choose zip from sdcard' (or similar, can't remember exact verbiage) and install your ROM, then before you let it reboot, then use the same option and install gapps as well, then reboot. follow setup and it should work fine.

Problem with Hashcode's tweaked D3 Bootstrap

I got a new phone in yesterday and after starting up, I immediately rooted and installed Hashcode's tweaked version of Koush's Bootstrap Recovery. I did a Nandroid backup and everything went smoothly. However, I went on to flash Dark Droid and everything worked great, but after clicking "Bootstrap Recovery" after flashing (as I read that one should after flashing a new ROM), I received the following error:
Failure
/data/data/com.hashcode.droid3.bootstrap/files/surunner.sh
[Permission denied]
Any idea as to what's going on here? Thanks in advance.

I'm not very familiar with how Busybox works or how to "check" it. Could you teach me?
Edit: So I know there is some version of Busybox installed on my phone (doesn't psouza's one-click root automatically install it?), but I went ahead and donwloaded the Busybox installer from the Market and installed the latest version. Still not working. I even removed permission from SU in order to regain permission but that also didn't work.

Bump...still can't figure it out. Thank you again in advance.

Hello Lyxdeslic,
Have you tried Koush's stock Droid 3 Bootstrap? I'm curious if his apk would also have the same error.
I've seen a total of 2 users describe the issues that you're seeing. And 1 case was fixed, but never was explained how to me, the other issue was never resolved.
The 1st reply has it correct. The issue is that the Bootstrap "thinks" it has SU permissions, but it doesn't. And I'm 100% sure it has to do with the upgrade of Superuser.apk tho for 99% of users, all of it works seemlessly.
I apologize for not being able to provide much help :/

My friend, no need to apologize at all. I appreciate the response, as I was considering PMing you but I didn't want to be a bother considering you probably get tons of PMs a day.
However, I uninstalled your tweaked Bootstrap this morning (also deleted data prior) and reinstalled it, and permissions were re-granted and it works now. I just realized that this did indeed happen after SU binaries were updated. All seems to be working well now.
One last quick question; after re-installing, if I boot into Recovery mode...will your Bootstrap still recognize and find the Nandroid backup on my SD card, which was also created with your Bootstrap during the first installation? I don't have my phone on me at the moment and I forgot to test.
Thanks again for the support. Kudos to you.

Ok, right...but why would you want to enter recovery in case of a bootloop when you can't flash the ROM you want to to restore your system? I mean yea Hashcode did create the MotoBlur ROM compatible with Safestrap only but still. Both options (safestrap and bootstrap) are needed, in my opinion.

They are two different sw created for different purposes, but those purposes are overlapping on the part that counts: booting in to recovery.

Correct. They both get you into recovery...but he wants to flash a ROM other than CM or stock. Which Safestrap has no use for. He needs a bootstrap, no ifs ands or buts. Safestrap is of no use to him.

Safestrap is different in the way that it flashed roms. So. There.

[Q] Can't download files on this site

I heard something recently about fileshare sites being shut down...is that what I'm experiencing. Tried to download files from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359068 and none of the links work. Actually a couple did but said I could only download a file I uploaded myself. I tried downloading from another thread on this site and had the same problem. Any solutions/alternatives? How can I download from the link I posted above?
Thanks!

I see a KJ4 link. Have you tried the KJ5 thread? It's the newest one for our 7310.

Hi nirogu325, thanks for replying. This is what I am trying to do:
-Enable adhoc connection so I can use my windows mobile phone as a hotspot for my tabl, and
-Enable USB charging for my tab in my car and elsewhere, not just wall jack.
Based on what I've read, I need busybox (Titanium back up says it's installed but when I downloaded an app called wifiadhocenabler, it says it is not installed. Installing it from the market says I need Nand Unlock and this is where I'm stuck at the moment. Do you know how to perform this on the P7310? Or an easier way to meet the objectives above?
Thanks again

I assume you're on a stock firmware. If I were you, I'd flash this specific version which is already rooted and has busybox as you can read in the OP. Also, flash the v2d version of the motley kernel and go here for the USB charging script and instructions on enabling. I know that last link is for the 10.1, but it is the one motley linked to in the v2b version changelog in his kernel thread.

After my soft brick yesterday, I used Odin to "install" the version you attached in your General Guide post P310XARKJ5_P7310UEKJ5_HOME.tar.md5). That's the one, right?
Anyway, the good news is, I decided to install BusyBox without doing the Nand Unlock (maybe it was already done?), and it worked! The wifiadhocenabler app works now and I have a connection to my wm phone! Yay! Before trying the app (for the sake of onlookers) I tried the other method with the wpa_supplicant, such as the one here: http://androidtablethacks.com/android-tablet-hacks/how-to-enable-adhoc-wifi-on-android-tablets/ and it did not work for me. The app did!
So now, I'll try the kernel you posted above and then the USB charging.
I'm going to look over your general guide to see if I can figure out how to flash. I'm guessing it's the same or similar to when I recovered my tab in Odin...?

If you mean flashing a CWM package as the motley kernel, a file goes in the SDcard, you access the CWM Recovery and flash. That's a generic way BUT depending on what you will flash you may have to wipe. That's why I avoided altogether putting generic instructions regarding CWM packages in my guide (instructions may vary between ROM and kernels). Read your flashable package's thread carefully.

kind of like rooting? Yes, do I have to wipe to flash the motley kernel? I'm not seeing the flashable packages thread, can you point me to it?

No, lol. If you want to flash the motley kernel just follow that thread's instructions. I gave you the motley kernel thread link in a previous post. For kernels, no wipe is necessary, for ROMs, yes.

Ok, thank you. lol

You're welcome. Some people have the tendency NOT to wipe while flashing ROMs...yet complain later on the road. Always wipe when it comes to ROMs if you want to avoid issues. The only bugs you will experience are the ones that come with the ROM already. Better safe than sorry.

Ah, that leads me to wonder...When my tab was soft bricked and I used Odin3 and inserted the KJ5 file into the PDA section, and so on (I think that was flashing), was I supposed to do a wipe before I did that? If so, would it be better if I started from scratch again? ...hoping not, but better now than latter I'm thinking.

No. ODIN clears everything (including kernels, ROMs and CWM Recoveries). Everything back to stock. I was just referring to flashing other custom ROMs (non-ODIN, i.e. CWM flashable) procedures. Stick to the thread instructions in your chosen ROM and you'll be fine. It's just that some don't follow instructions and due to that, they may experience weird bugs.

That's good news, and strange, because after I used Oden3 (in the way I previously described), all my apps and files were still in tact. Does it just affect the system and not the file memory?
P.S. Hey! I'm no longer a noob! lol I just noticed I am now a "Junior Member".

P.S.S. I'm now running my tablet off my wm hotspot while charging it on my pc! woohoo

That is because you didn't check F.Reset Time on the left side of ODIN before flashing. It is advisable to make sure it is checked. Thanks, I'm gonna put that little but important detail in my guide (dunno how I missed that one ). I advise using Titanium Backup (for apps backup) and then ODIN. You might be fine as you are, but if you ever experience something weird then you know.

Thanks for your support. If I ever have some extra change and feel like making a donation, I'll keep you in mind! Hey, where's your donation link anyway? Better get one!

My tablet is definitely a little laggy now, but that could be the 3.2 HC. Since I did not check that off, does it mean that it did not install on a clean wipe? I'm wondering if I should just do it while I remember the path to how I got where I'm at now. I doubt I'll remember everything down the road.
I have been making nandroid backups as well as titanium app backups.

As for donations, nah it's ok, I am no developer. As for the suggestion, it was just that, a suggestion for next time. Keep that in mind. It will become a habit down the road.
Sent from my GT-P7310

nirogu325,
I'm back to do my clean wipe. I performed the wipe/data reset in nandroid and now it's saying there is an update from KJ5 to LA3. Do you still think the custom kj5 is better than the stock LA3? I'm wondering if I should just install the update, root, install the motley kernel and go from there...?
Hope you're well! I still think you should add a donate link...you don't have to be a developer, your assistance/guidance is equally helpful to the community.

While I'm waiting, I flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375112 and then I noticed I have the old CMR so I downloaded your updated package: GTab89Files and I cannot paste a single file from that folder onto my tab. I can paste files from other folders, but this one I copy and when I go to paste the paste option is not enabled; if I drag I get a little red circle with a line through it. Any ideas as to why it's rejecting?
