Hi I just bought a nexus one and was a little confused and was looking for some help. I looked around and couldn't find a solid answer. I want to root my nexus one running frg83 update. I saw there's a 1-click method recently made by I forget who which is supposed to work with almost all phones, nexus one included. Once I use that to root the phone, can I just download a rom, like evils desire rom, rename it to update.zip, put it on my SD card and flash through normal recovery? Sorry if that's a dumb question. Any help would be great. Thanks.

You have to flash a custom recovery first.
Do u know which one works with this version of android? That ra one?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Yes, you could use the amon ra or the clockwork mod. Your choice.
If it's a brand new Nexus One, it's probably SLCD, which means you can't use Clockwork until they make it compatible. The Amon recovery should work but it has to be 1.8 or up.
Also unless there's progress I'm unaware of, one click root won't work on this version. You'll have to follow the manual instructions for rageagainstthecage. And you can't use ROM Manager until Clockwork is fixed.

thanks for the help.. i used this to root and it worked: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
clockwork mod flashed too. it was a used nexus but i had google send me a replacement. still amoled i'm pretty sure. it has the red tint to it and blacks are really black so i think it's still amoled. anyways, so once it's rooted and i have the recovery flashed, i can just flash a rom right? no need for sd partitions or whatever?

It should, but it isn't for me.There is an option to flash alternative recovery (amon ra 1.7h) but it is not suitable for my radio and spl.... and it is not working.For me is 1.62 and is ok.
I've been kinda out of the game for a little while, and not to sure if this is the correct thread to be asking this but does Rom Manager work with the Droid X now? And should I get Bootstrap Recovery?
web connect
does anyone know if cognition rom supports web connect?
u should try to fix the recovery ,,
rom manager wouldn't be as good as the recovery ..
best luck
Will rage thee cage method work now that my n1 us unlocked?
Is there a noobs guide to rage the cage? Also I haven't done much research on the radio. Would I need to download something for it? I'm lost as hell. THNKS FRG83
It will still work, but if you're unlocked it's pointless. Flash a custom recovery and use that in install a rooted update.zip (ChainsDD)
The Wiki is a good start, too...

I flashed amon-ra's recovery and once I rebooted I got an android with a "!". The guide I used was on nexusonefourums. It said that if I got that symmbol that I was not rooted. I used modacos frf91 superboot to root. I was told it'd work. Apparently not.
O and now my wifi doesn't work at all. It just says error under settings-wireless.
Easiest way to see if you have root is to download a flashlight app from the market that requires root, and see if it works.
I always understood that the exclamation android guy was because you had stock recovery (I'm sure someone will correct me).

No need, you're spot on. Unless you remove a couple of files, the stock recovery is re-installed.

There is. "Root FRG33/83 without unlock" contains the thread with the explanation, and "SuperOneClick root app" is simple to use. Both in "Guides".
To the OP: Read the Wiki, for God's sake. The questions here come over and over again, and the interesting threads and questions all get lost in the maze of "how to root my phone". There's a guide for flashing recovery, read under "Recovery", and it says - "for unlocked bootloaders". That would save you the trouble of trying to root through rageagainstthecage method, because with unlocked bootloader you don't need any of that. There's also a guide, called "Flashing custom ROMs", at "Guides and Tutorials". That would cover everything you need.
N1 torch asked for super user permission and the full brightness is now working. It wouldnt work without root. So im rooted.... hate to ask it but.... now what? do amon-ra again?
Looking to add CyMod... and whats the deal on the updating my radio? do i need to? I hate being ignorant, but I gotta ask to learn.. Or I could brick my 500 dollar phone.
Pretty sure you're still on stock recovery, so yes, flash Amon Ra or Clockworkmod (if you're on an SLCD screen, only Amon 1.8 or 1.9 will work).
The wiki has instructions, or use Clockworkmod ROM Manager (but read the wiki either way).

Good heads up danger-rat. Downloads most recent radio and updated. I used rom manager and flashed most recent clockwork recovery. Now my next problem is getting cyanogenmod to download through Tom manager. It got 95% complete and said "rom download error. Google Apps: (outside link I can't post because of being a new member)" in my notifications.
Found a manual download site for gapps hdpi. Hopefully I can install it correctly

Hi all,
Sorry if i sound stupid, but I am new to all of this. I am trying to flash a gingerbread ROM onto my Rogers branded captivate. Currently I am running Rogers stock Froyo.
I have rooted and unlocked my phone using one click root, and the SGS unlock tool from the android market. I have also applied Ryans OCLF. I have busybox installed and the lasted version of Rom Manager.
However, every time i go to backup my stock rom using rom manager, nothing happens. I try to first flash the Clockwork Mod recovery, select the Captivate file and let the phone reboot, black screen with a yellow exclamation point in a white triangle with a Droid device laying under it. It will sit there forever until I manually restart the phone, at which point it acts fine.
I have backed up using titanium backup but cannot do it thru ROM manager. I have read countless forums, but it havent found a solution that works.
So i decided to proceed without a backup. I tryed to put the phone in download mode using the buttons so that I can flash it using ODIN but it doesnt go into download mode using any of the buttom press methods. I have tried to reinstall the packages from the boot menu, but i then get an error saying "e: failed to verify whole signature...."
I have also put a copy of the recently leaked gingerbread rom on my SD card and tried to install the ROM using rom managers install ROM from SD card, but i get the same black screen with yellow exclamation point and nothing happens until i maually start the phone.
I have no clue what I am missing? How to fix this? I have read and watched so many tutorials, followed all the steps. THey seem so easy on paper, but nothing that is supposed to happen, happens for me. Anyone have any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?
Please help!!
You need to follow installation instructions in the thread for whatever GB rom you are installing TO THE LETTER.
Which one are you trying?
You need to search for fixing the 3e recovery. 3e won't let you install custom roms. Also rom manager is just a gui interface for clockwork mod so in. wouldn't use it

I was trying to install the Official Gingerbread 2.3.3 for Captivate that was just leaked for the ATT captivate. I beleive the build number is I897UCKF1.
I do remember seeing the 3e recovery in the boot menu. Thanks alot, I will try to find a recovery fix and try that, then post the update.
Thanks alot for the suggestions so far. Its greatly appreciated!
Please for the love of all that is good in the world, do some research before you brick yourself for good. All of your issues would have not happened had you read more first before jumping in. I have seen far to many of these types if threads lately. Yes it takes a few hours to go through the threads but you save yourself the time you would spend (sometimes days) fixing your mistake.

Your absolutely right, I did ALOT of reading, been doing so alot over a few weeks. Unfortunately, (or perhaps, I did not do enough digging) none of the tutorials, even the ones for beginners that i found on this forum mentioned anything about finding a fix for the 3e recovery. No one mentioned that the 3e Recovery bundled with the Rogers version of Froyo did not allow the install of custom roms, it also did not allow backups. Thanks to Crystalhand for letting me know this.
Anyway i found this link which helped:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213
I am FINALLY able to make a full backup image of my stock ROM and apps using CWM. This puts me more at ease now knowing i can also revert to stock if i install a rom that is not working properly for me.
The backup is completing as I type this. I will update again once I am able to install the gingerbread Rom I wanted to install.
Thanks again to all of you for the help!
that backup is not to restore the stock rom directly from whatever you flash. that is an imaage of your set up on stock rom. so you have to use odin to flash back to that stock rom you are on then restore that backup and it will be like you never flashed anything at all. if you just restore that backup onto the custom rom you flash it will not work properly.
the app backup your making with titanium backup will restore your apps on whatever you flash, but the rom backup doesnt work like that.
I would suggest using designgears odin 1 click, becuase no offence but you seen new and that would be least likely way for you to hard brick going to gb... Good luck

Flashing is usually easy and safe (for the most part). But if something happends and it gets bricked u could always make/buy jigs. Easiest way to make I've seen is
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841512
Or you can buy them for about $8 maybe more depending your location (making em can cost less). The only thing I haven't tested the jig with is messed up bootloaders, example flashing gb bootloaders and flash froyo secundaries, everything else the jig works (atleast my experience)

Was thinking about rooting my rogers htc raider. Iam looking to gain more battery life and enjoy customizing my phone. How easy is clockworkmod recovery to use and would it be a good choice for what im looking for?
Cwm is easy to use but most have found the wcx or twrp work Better on this phone I don't know why but they do even I was having cwm crash all the time while flashing some roms so I made the change and have had 0 issues.

i think cwm has been updated to ver 6 now ... still not interested though.. wcx works for me
I use wcx too and it's been perfect for me. As for rooting, use the all in one tool in the sticky here, very easy, but slightly time consuming.

Not true. Bell Raider here. I've used CWM and WCX (and I think I tried TWRP but didn't stick with it). Also used CWM and WCX on my friend's Rogers Raider. CWM is my favourite.
I tried CWM a while back. Seemed to be less usable and was definitely a lot more buggy than WCX's. Try em both and see what works best for your device.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
Yep, totally not true. I have a Rogers Raider running on Bell Canada now, and I've used all the recoveries there are for this phone. I have settled on TWRP personally, but I also liked CWM just fine. My main beef with it was that it couldn't restore large backups, so I ended up boning my system after flashing a rom for testing. I do think CWM has fixed that in the newest version, but I'm happy with TWRP so why change?
Since you might ask, you can also run the ROM of any carrier on your Rogers Raider. As I said, I'm on Bell, so I originally flashed the stock Bell ROM before I started running custom roms (where some of them are AT&T, Telstra, etc based).
Once you unlock this phone, sky is the limit.

are you trying to root the phone? if you are, all you need to do left is basically install superuser.
the all-in-one-kit did the same to me. it loaded the recovery fine but didnt actually install superuser to give me the root permissions.
not sure if it was supposed to or not though.
Ya just had to root. I figured it out I downloaded v2.2 of hasoon toolkit for some reason i had old version. So when I clicked permroot button it downloaded superuser zip to my phone, before it did nothing with old version. Good to go now all rooted

Are you sure it was a root.rar because that doesn't exist for the t679 and cant be flashed in recovery. Check to make sure you have the t679 not t759 and if you do, use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Exhibit_4G to return to stock, but make sure to read before doing anything.
Edit: to elaborate on the .rar .tar can be flashed with Odin, but that is NOT for the exhibit 2 the exhibit has .zip made by jocala, .rar i don't think can be flashed any way

Thanks so much. That helped!! It was the T679. The root was a .zip file but as Im not very root suave I must have made a mistake some where in the steps. I think Ill reframe from trying to root my phone in the future. Too many confusing steps.
Now I thought this phone was the easiest to root compared to the G1 and the HTC Espresso. The latter being worse. This is just two steps, flash root, flash recovery. Done unless you want a custom rom, then flash rom & gapps.

That is because there were multiple methods although now only one works after the update to android 2.3.6 this is the easiest phone i have ever rooted although the nexus 7 was also easy. HTC phones are a bit harder to root and much harder to flash anything to.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
It doesn't help that with HTC phones to get true root you need to achieve s-off. The locked bootloaders are a pain. I was kind of glad I didn't gave to deal with that with this phone. Although the lack of fast boot means less custom splash screens.
