no you wanna do the full root process:
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Quick_Root

No need to do that, I've messed up before and lost my recovery image. If you have HardSPL or the "Danger SPL" you can flash the recovery image through fastboot.

would i have to unroot first just to be safe? cause under ABOUT PHONE, my model number is ANDROID DEV PHONE 1. thats what is making think i still have root? am i correct ?

bbump. i need help here

It's a g1....It's not hard at all to root just manually root it dude.
Downgrade to rc 29 then follow any guide.

[Q] ROM Manager And Titanium Backup

Im getting confused so i just want to clarify these apps, If i flash my captivate using ODIN doesnt all the files get deleted? so I don't get it how can you use these apps to recover any of files if its deleted during the procedure.

Titanium backup is for apps and settings. ROM Manager backs up your ROM and your current setup, it is also used to flash ROMS and other mods and CloclworkMod Recovery is a part of the app. Get the paid version of both apps, not expensive and you will be using them often.

so if i buy these 2 and flash my phone using odin they will stay on my phone?

No. No apps stay on your phone after flashing. When you use these two apps, they store files on your internal SD card. This does not get touched when you flash a new rom. Therefore after you flash a new rom, just go to the market, redownload the apps, and restore what you've backed up.

I got a new question guys I backup my stock ROM the one that comes on factory but rooted and im currently running cog 2.2 beta 9.1.2. My question is if i restore backup will it restore to my old 2.1 stock with root?
And for my next question is there a way to go back to stock ROM jf6 using ROM manager? Thanks everyone in advance

I have Rom manager and did a Rom backup.
How do I restore my phone?
I did something and my phone will not come on.
It will get the AT&T world phone screen, the 3G splash and even play the sounds
and the Galaxy S screen than goes black.
Doing the volume up/down and power take me to recovery screen,
did reinstall package chose update.zip but no luck.

Working again, phewww almost threw it in the trash.

Android Markey Froyo 2.2 Problems

I have been trying to resolve this issue for a day now. I flashed to 2.2 Froyo, unlocked and rooted my Stock Rogers Samsung Captivate. Everything is working fine, I started downloaded all my favourite apps back when I had stock firmware. A few hours into using my phone, I noticed apps that I used to be able to find weren't showing up. I am not sure if it is related, but I noticed this after removing bloatware with titanium backup.
I installed following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861103
After searching forums for hours, the solution seemed simple, modifying a line of code in the build.prop file and overwriting the old one. I have tried this one:
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/231334:user/release-keys
with no luck. I decided to reflash the 2.2 rom as I assumed removing the bloat ware was the cause, but I am still having the same market issues.
I am not sure where to go from here, did anyone experience similar problems? Any possible solutions? I really want DBZ scouter back

I got the Cognition files and the Odin standalone, but I'm confused as to where to get the other files
• PIT.pit
• PDA.tar
• PHONE.tar
• CSC.tar
I can't find the download link on the thread

Cognition has had this since the first release

Im trying to find the Cognition Odin install but its not on the site, the site only has the ROM files. I would ideally want to install with rom manage as it would be a lot easier but my market is so messed up its not even showing up when i search it.

you dont need to install rom manager
put the update.zip on your sdcard and reboot to recovery....
reinstall packages (it will reboot, just reinstall packages again)
you will now be in clockwork
install zip from sdcard, and point to the rom

Thank you so much for the zip file, everything went smoothly. I liked the voice telling me how much time each process would take. However, when I searched the app store for DBZ scouter it still cant find it, or any other paid apps! This is getting really frustrating. Should I give it a few minutes/hours for the paids apps to show up? I am enjoying the rom though, very smooth compared to the stock ones.

It looks like I'm not the only one

I guess it was just a coincidence that this happened the same time I unlocked my phone.. heh. Well now I can finally go back to studying for exams

Moved to Q&A.

how to root this phone?

Hi, i have one piece nexus one android version 2.2, build number FRF91. Can anyone tell me how to root this phone and please sugest a ROM with portuguese language?
Thank you.

Well, i checked the newbie link. Just need to know a few facts:
1) How do i know if my Nexus One is a retail one so that i can unlock the bottloader?
2) To root the phone is it necessary to go to command prompt? Can i just click on 'install-superboot-windows'?
3) Is it necessary to flash custom recovery image? Why is required?
Last can anyone sugggest me a ROM with portuguese language in it?
Thank you.

Notes:
- For FRF91, Universal Androot will work(it does not work for FRG33 and after) for rooting(without unlocking bootloader). It is installed like normal Android app, and you can root your device with it(but sometimes it fails). Also, there're other one-click rooting tools like z4root and SuperOneClick.
- If the custom ROM is built from AOSP, it will support Portugese.

SO basically is this what i have to do?
1) Turn usb debugging on, root with superoneclick with phone connected.."charge mode"?
2) Flash rom
also, do i need to flash recovery image?

You will want to install either clockwork or amon-ra recovery. If you leave the current recovery, you are still able to receive OTA updates that, if installed, you will lose root.
As a side note, has anyone noticed that rooting the N1 was never an issue until the 1-clicks and the androot tools came along? Nothing against those tools, they work and people can leave a bootloader locked. But it seems to me that was always the choice you had to make with your device. Root it or not? Having your cake and eating it too has led to more and more lazy "how do I do this?", "this isn't working", what am I doing wrong"? posts. It has already been proven time and time again that HTC doesn't really care about an unlocked bootloader for hardware related warranty work. If it is software related (rare) it was probably your fault and you don't deserve warranty service.
Oh well...thats my .02

1. download Universal Androot from the market or here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598. Install. Run. Get root.
2. download ROM Manager from the market or here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=639153. Install Clockwork Recover or Amon-Ra recover. You don't absolutely have to install a custom recovery, but why would you not? It allows you to do so many useful things including a Nandroid backup.
3. download a ROM of your choice. My favorite is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714184 but most ROMs will have your language. Install via ROM manager or boot into recovery and install.

Well i rooted with superclick then when i go into recovery mode and click on recovery it shows a white triangle. I removed the memory card while rooting, could that be the problem?

How did you remove the sdcard while rooting? That would also mean you pulled the battery? Or did you bend it up enough to get it out? Either way, don't ever do that.

Read my signature.

I removed the memory card before rooting, anyway thanks guys for your reply...i will check the wiki and redo process with sdcard tomorrow..

JUst one more question, should i install rom through rom manager or manually go into recovery mode?

Thanks for your advice but i think i'll stick to superclick, your method is too complicated

Sounds like you still have the stock recovery. Install a custom recovery.
Do this ----> Download ROM Manager from the market or here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=639153.
Then, you can install Clockwork Recovery or Amon-Ra recovery to flash ROM (and do Nandroid backups).
Or, you can use ROM manager to flash your ROM.

Please, please do a Nandroid back-up before flashing a custom ROM. (You can do this through Rom Manager).
This should be the first advice you are given above all else!

[Q] Nexus One stock GRJ22 (rooted) with apps2ext?

I'm currently running with a rooted version of the latest stock firmware on my N1, and I love the stability and all, except Google's apps2sd implementation is really dumb.
With only a dozen or so apps I am already getting low storage errors.
I've tried flashing in DT's apps2sd but unfortunately it didn't seem to work at all. Are there any other options for me to get apps2ext support without switching to a custom rom?

Try Link2sd in the Market.
It may be better, it may not, but it's worth a try...

Hey SmallWalrus,
I am running stock 2.3.4 unrooted Nexus one. (yes, that is GRJ22)
I have never rooted a phone. Can you please point me somewhere which shows how to unlock and root the N1 with my specs. My phone is pretty old. I am only rooting it because this is a spare one and I now have moved to SGS2.
PS: using a mac and Linux machine. If not then please show me a windows one. i'll try dual booting my macbook pro.

Have you unlocked your bootloader? That was how I did it though, there is no other way to root 2.3.4 without doing this at the moment.

That is what i want to know. How do i do that safely?

Well there is a way to safely root your phone without unlocking the bootloader, I did those steps recently and they worked fine for me.
1. You need to downgrade your phone to Froyo. Get the FRG83 image from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nexus_One/Roms
Rename it to PASSIMG.zip and copy it to the root folder of your SD Card. Boot your phone into the bootloader and flash the image. This will wipe your device, so be sure to make a backup of your data and apps first.
2. Use SuperOneClick to root your phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
3. Now you need to flash a custom recovery. I used the Clockworkmod one, because flashing it is very simple: install the Rom Manager app from the market, it has an option to flash the recovery.
4. Now you are set to flash custom ROMs, either through Rom Manager or the Recovery. You should however do a Nandroid Backup first, in case anything goes wrong in flashing the ROM. Boot into Recovery and you should see a menu item saying Backup or something.
It's really not a big deal as it sounds, I can't guarantee that this will work for you. You should know what you are doing and if you feel unsafe about any of these steps, make sure to search the forums or the web about it, before you execute it.

Sorry, I didn't see your question until now
Actually, it IS very easy to do this, you can find the instructions here:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/299078-how-to-unlock-the-bootloader-on-your-nexus-one/
It does have some warranty implications though, but since I am already using an import set I don't care. According to some, HTC usually shuts one eye and fix your phone's hardware failures even if it has an unlocked bootloader, but YMMV.
