Hi guys,
The power button on my nexus one died, and I tried to get the phone replaced by htc singapore.. but all efforts were futile. So they replaced the "Rigid FLex" jacket for free and gave me back the phone..
I dont really have any complaints, other than the power button still feels flimsy and I dont trust it, since it causes a lot of inconvenience.
NOW, can I use the volume key or trackball to wake the phone up ?
Would any of these buttons Die like the power button (are they equally flimsy ? )
Ive been reading on custom-roms which will add trackball-wake-up option..
-Could you point me to the most stable rom? (Im running froyo frf91)
-If rooting is required, could you point me to a newbies guide to rooting..
Thank you

Thanx..
I did use the search button, but it gave me tonns of threads, with a 100 pages in each..
So I had to start this thread.
My phone is unlocked.. (sim-free)..
There is no SIM-locked Nexus in existence, as mentioned multiple times. "Unlocked" stands for "Unlocked bootloader", doesn't have anything to do with SIM. Yours is locked, since you just got it and never unlocked it.
I suggest you read the Wiki instead of continuing this thread, read all the guides, use 1-click root application and DO NOT use ROM Manager. Learn to install the custom recovery yourself, and to install ROMs using the recovery. Everything is written in the Wiki.
The most stable yet heavily customized Froyo ROM would probably be Enomther's, which I personally use.

Thanks for the clarification.
Hi, i was reading and stumbled on Softroot.
I cannot find more info on it..
Its apparently, temporary rooting.. like jailbreaking..
Can I do a softroot to achieve the track-ball wakeup ?
Use Universal Androot.
There is no "temporary rooting", and rooting isn't equal to jailbreaking, it's a different thing, done for different purposes. Rooting is permanent, otherwise it's worthless. Having 1 session of root access (until reboot) doesn't accomplish anything, unless all you want to do is delete some system application or something of the sort.
@jack_R1
Hi, I used the 1Click Androot app to Root my device. Im backing up apps and settings using titanium backup.
My next step is to flash the custom rom.
Im deciding between Enomthers 2.11.3 NOT Pre_Themed ROM, and Nightly's CM6 for Nexus one..
So to clarify things, I need to
1 rename the Custom rom to Update.zip and paste it to the Root of SD card.
2 Rename the Amon recovery image to recomevry.img and paste to root of SD.
3 Turn on the phone while holding Volume Down
4 Select "BOOTLOADER" from the menu
5 Select "RECOVERY" from the menu
6 Select "Flash update.zip" or "Flash ZIP file"
7 Turn off verification, if such option is presented
8 Select your downloaded ROM image
9 Wait for the flash to finish successfully, if it didn't - do not continue!
10 Return to main recovery menu
11 Select "Wipe"
12 Select "Wipe data / factory reset"
13 Select "Wipe Dalvik cache"
14 Return to main recovery menu
--> Reboot the phone
?
Is there anything missing? please lemme know. I wanna do this asap.
Also, Im already updated to Froyo Radio (v4.06...) so I do no figit with radio .. correct?
-Also, when do I configure SpareParts? (before or after flashing) ?
-What is the difference between pre-themed black text and pre-themed white text? (black notification bar with white text on top)?
Thanks!
You got some things confused.
1. No need to rename it. Using custom recovery lets you flash anything with any name.
2. Since you rooted using 1-click root, you don't have a recovery yet. You need to flash it before you reboot to it. Read and execute: Nexus One Wiki / Recovery Images / Amon_Ra's Recovery / using flash_image method. Link for your convenience. You could also go to Developer section and download the latest 1.8.0.1 Amon_Ra's recovery instead of 1.7.0.1 in the Wiki. I'll update the Wiki to give a choice between the two.
3. Continue your list till the end.
Nothing needed for the radio, if you're already on 4.06.
Spare Parts will appear only after flashing the ROM.
Pre-Themed black text is regular, white text is for black notification bar - just as you wrote.
Personally, I run Enomther's since Froyo is out. Before that I was using CM. You might try them both and see which you like more.
Well, thanks for the reply.. Ill look into it after the ADB hurdle.
Presently, Im stuck at the ADB step..
I got the android sdk package, got nexus one drivers.. but for whatever reason, it wont show my device in cmd prompt..
I have pretty much memorised the adb for beginers guide.. but no luck..
(Im on Win Xp)
This is turning out to be a pain in the rear end..
You don't need ADB to flash recovery.
Follow the guide I've pointed you to.
Return to ADB once you're already on the custom ROM, it won't run away.
Flashing the recovery image was quite a task!
Luckily I googled and stumbled on a thread where YOU mentioned to download and install BusyBox.
So yes, Ive flashed it finally..
Im downloading the Enomthers ROM now.. slow net connection.. will load it in a while if it allows.
Thanx a bunch!
hi..
Done installing custom rom.. it was pretty staright forward once recovery img was flashed.
I would like to add some info, for someone who stumbles on this.
In recovery options,
For backup/Restore.. when you select Nand+Ext, and end up getting 'Error...Run nandroid-mobile.sh', press back to goto the main menu, toggle USB MS (mass storage) on, plug it to the computer, delete the nandroid folder, and try again.
If you still get the error, delete nandroid folder, and this time select 'Nand backup only'. if succesful, proceed to copy the nandroid folder to your computer.
So far Ive installed themed enothmer rom.. and its decent.
Will customize it tomo..
For the time-being, ive noticed one issue/bug .. the LED light blink interval is too quick even on selecting 'Slow'.
Thanx Jack!
You're welcome.
Thanks for reminding about the need for busybox to execute chmod and such. Added to Wiki instructions.
Hi,
Now that Ive successfully flashed a custom rom, and its working fine..
I noticed an update to enomthers rom. (v2.12.2)
I want to flash this rom, so do I have to re-flash recovery? and then flash this new rom?
Or just flash the new rom? but then do I wipe/factory reset and wipe Dalvik cache of the device?
Actually restoring the data (especially mesages and apps) is quite an issue, it takes a while (considering im on EDGE)..
also, is it recommended to make an apps2sd partition on SD card? I did get low memory warning on internal memory.
and last, I just want the black status bar and 'some' custom icons (not all), so is there a way to install these on otherwise stock looking enomther rom?
I know they are some noobish questions but I need answers..
Thanx
You don't touch the recovery once it's flashed, as long as it's working. You just flash the ROM using the recovery that you already installed. And don't do any wipes - so you won't have to restore the data.
Apps2EXT (EXT2 partition for apps on SD card) is great and highly recommended.
You can apply themes, simple as complex, using morphs.
Hi Guys,
Need your opinions again.
I was extremely satisfied with Enomthers 2.14.4 rom, till the update notifiation appeared.
Ive waited long enough for an update from Enom, but he has his reasons, and I dont see an update in the pipeline.
So I need to get a new rom & it should have have trackball wake up/vol keys wakeup (cant afford to break the power key).
Also Gingerbread, and Apps2SD (+).
Now Ive come across two roms,
a) Nightly's CM rom
b) GRI40, system dump + unmodified stock n rooted rom.
So which one should I get?
Also whats the difference between nightlys CM rom and CM rom ?
Also, I see I need to update the radio, so this has to be done before flashing rom or after?
I have flashed AMON RA's recovery 2.0, do I need to flash anything else?
Remove the update notification and return to being happy.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Stock GRI40 doesn't have any mod for trackball/volume wake. So for now you're out of options - you have to use a custom compiled AOSP Gingerbread, which point you towards CM7/SuperGinger/Leo's Ginger/etc. Currently none of those are as stable as Enom's (I've tried 2 of them).
I can also suggest flashing FOTAKill (use Google to find, learn and download) and keeping with Enom's. That's what I'm doing now. And after a brief experience with MyTouch 4G, I'm seriously considering flashing Froyo Desire port.
Thanks for the prompt replies. Really appreciate it.
For now I can live with enomthers rom. Its not giving any issues. Its got everything I need, other than gingerbread.
the Gingerbread update is glued to the taskbar, and doesnt pop-up at all (doesnt intervene/hinder ) in regular operations.
So ill patiently wait as well
thanks again guys!
Hello,
I am planing to install Darkys ROM but first of all I have some questions regarding a way to get my phone as it is now.
If I type *#1234# I get this information:
PDA: I9000XXJPO
PHONE: I9000XXJPP
CSC: I9000DBTJP3
Build Info: 2010. 10
When I bought my SGS it was still 2.1 Eclair but last year I updated it via Kies to 2.2 Froyo. I could not use the 3 buttons so I had to use Odin and a Samsung fix for Canada or something like that. I am not sure but anyway the 3 buttons work now. After that I installed z4root and One Click Lag Fix. That were the only things I used.
Well now I want to install Darkys ROM but I have got some questions first.
How can I make a full 100% backup of my phone?
If something goes wrong with me flashing Darkys ROM I want to be able to restore my phone as it is now.
I have got Titanium Backup is it enough just to make a full backup with it?
After flashing to Darkys ROM can I just use Titanium Backup to get all of my Apps, sms, pictures, vids, settings and so on back?
After I flashed do the 3 buttons still work? Because I used a fix to get them to work and as far as I know wont flashing wipe my phone with the fix for the 3 buttons?
Well that is it for now but I am sure I have a lot more questions...
bump
no one willing to help and answer my questions?

Install a kernel that supports ClockworkMod Recovery and make a nandroid backup; that's a complete system backup.
Yeah, you can use titanium backup to backup + restore all your apps, settings, etc, but it won't be a literal image of the phone.
Flashing any ROM won't take away the 3 buttons. Typically flashing a ROM (sometimes WIPE version) wipes only your /system /data /dbdata /cache, etc folder. Doesn't touch the bootloader, meaning your 3 button download will always work.
I'm having the same PDA,PHONE, CSS and Build Info like you,,
but i can't fix my 3 combo buttons... tell me how u fix it? it's seem i can't
download the neccessary files in the xda thread to perform my 3 buttons fix...
Thanks
@seeARMS thank you for your reply. so basically I have to get another kernel and then I can make a backup. But wont that change my actual phones kernel to another and wouldnt that be problematic if I have to turn in my phone for repairs?
is there a guide out there for this doing this?
@imkr1 I am not 100% sure because I did it out of a whim. But as far as I remember I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785201
I am not sure if it still works but I guess the best solution would be if you just post your phones infos and ask in the thread if it works

Hi everyone,
I know this will make me sound like a complete noob but it doesnt matter. Any help or any pointing in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
I have a stock motorola milestone 2.2.1. I hate it and have read how stable some of the roms are and I would love to experiment with them. However, never having a windows phone or an HTC before I have no idea how to do this with minimizing the risk.
So I have rooted my phone with universalandroot and have installed rom manager and titanium backup. Unfortunately, I read that rom manager wont work with the Milestone.
All of the threads on boot recovery and other methods seem to differentiate from one another. Is there a safeR method. I know no method is safe. What programs do I need to install on my computer and or my phone for this to work?
I know this a lot and I truly appreciate any help and support from this forum.
Thanks

First of all, ROM Manager does not work with the milestone. So please remove it and dont ever install Clockworkmod recovery on the milestone.
Second, What ROM do you want to install?
You need Androidiani Openrecovery for all your flashing needs of customs ROMS. You will need rsdlite to flash sbf files and offcourse the Moto usb drivers. Check the sticky threads in the development section. There are many tutorials.
This is easily one of the best ways to get everything done in the way of flashing a custom ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=983516
Depending on which ROM you want to install, it will determine what you need to download.
After rooting the phone, you will want to flash a vulnerable recovery sbf via RSD Lite, as shown in that thread the VR you should use will depend on your bootloader version. If you are running 90.78, then you can flash this VR: http://android.doshaska.net/rootable
After that happens, you can create a backup of all of your apps using TitaniumBackup.
Once you do that you want to place OpenRecovery(AOR) on your SD Card. Follow the steps from the first link I posted to get that on. You will want to place the custom ROM that you want into OpenRecovery/updates. If you are planning on using CM7, you will also need to download google apps from the CM7 thread here.
Once that is on, you will want to boot into recovery(power+x, see the Moto M logo, then release and push camera button+volume up), apply update.zip.
From there you want to select the Nandroid menu with the d-pad. Create a nandroid backup of what you want.
Now is the crucial step. You need to wipe the caches and ALL data. Choose wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache partition and wipe data/factory reset.
Now is time to apply your custom ROM!
It is recommended to create a nandroid backup everytime you flash a custom ROM, in case of anything going wrong.
Navigate to apply update in AOR, select the ROM that you want, select yes. Once it is done installing, wipe the caches and data AGAIN.
If you are installing the google apps, you will want to wipe the caches, flash the google apps, then wipe the caches again.
You will probably have to apply the baseband for your carrier, so you will need to navigate to change baseband, and apply the baseband for your carrier.
If you followed those steps, you should have a brand spanking new custom ROM on your phone.
Hope this helps.

1. Welcome! Go to the Development section and check out the stock ROMs thread. Download an arabic ROM, download Odin on your computer (link in that thread), follow the steps and flash it. No root needed and it won't void your warranty.
It won't wipe your phone if it's a non-wipe ROM.
If you wan to root you can find a tutorial in the dev section. Rooting will not wipe your device.
Appart from that, remember to read A LOT before doing anything. That way you'll minimize the risk of messing things up

Thanx for the quick reply..
But how to know if its a non-wipe rom or not? ?!
And if its non wipe.. Will i have all the apps contacts msgs all the same? ?!
If it's a non-wipe it usually says so in this thread. If it's a non-wipe you won't lose anything (contacts, messages etc.).
But either way your contacts are stored on your Google account, so you can't lose them. But again, read and read some more before you decide to do anything.

Well, for one, (and this kinda answers and simplifies your backup question too), with root access, you can also install a very powerful and useful tool called CWM (ClockworkMod Recovery).
CWM is essentially a modified bootloader which you can use to bypass Samsung's recovery mode to perform more advanced tasks such as flashing custom firmware, ROM's, and other binaries, etc.
Another great thing about CWM is that you can use it to perform a comprehensive backup of your entire system. Essentially, it would be like taking a snapshot of your device as it is when you perform the backup, and save it away for later use. It does create some rather large backup files (mine usually hover around the 500MB range), but it does mean that if, for whatever reason, you seriously mess something up, you can just restore to that previous state. I usually perform a CWM backup on a weekly basis, and you can always export the file to some kind of external storage for safe keeping, whether it's your external SD card, USB, or on your computer; it's totally up to you.
If you've ever used Norton Ghost to make backups of your PC, it's kinda like that, but for Android (plus the other features I touched on earlier).
Enjoy!

Gotta do this while the device is powered off. Basically, from power-off, press those three buttons, release the power button once you see the initial logo while still holding the other two buttons, and it should boot up into recovery mode (or download mode, depending on the button combination)
and when you have root, you can install the CWM app and do it from there too
When your phone is rooted,u can flash any custom ROM which could increase your phone performance and batery life..
You can try flash any custom ROM and find the one that suits you..it is important to do a nandroid back up before flashing a ROM because if something went wrong,you can always go back to the previous state of your phone..
i'm using rocketrom and i just love what it does to my phone..playing with rooted phone is fun..
Thanks alot guys.. So i cant flash the new icecream sandwich "nexus release" unless i root my Note.. right? ??
if i rooted it then i can have it on my note.. Right ..??!

Hi everyone, I put a thread up a few weeks ago to ask if anyone would help me get rooted, so that i could put a different rom on my note.
i got a few PM's from some helpful people, but not enough back and forth messages to get me started.
so my question is....
Is there anyone online at the moment, that would help me get rooted.
Im not stupid so you wont have to keep explaining step by step.
I just want someone to guide me to exactly what it is i need.
i can happily add anyone on either skype, msn or whatever else you use, to guide me through it.
I really hope someone online at the moment is willing to help me. :good:
First of all, it is not enough to be just rooted for you if you want flash a new custom rom!
You must be on a safe kernel FIRST if you want avoid BRICK
I assume that you are on stock ICS. So if you are ona stock ics, be careful!
The easiest way for you to flash a custom rom is (assuming that you are on ics):
−Go to settings> about phone > and check which rom you have (for ex. IMM76D.XXLRT - that means that you have xxlrt rom, or xxlrq or something else, if you are not sure put a screenshot, we will help you)
−Then go to : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191 And download a safe kernel depending on which rom you are. Place it on internal SD card.
− Go to stock recovery (VolUp+Home+Power, wait till samsung gt-n7000 logo appear, then realase all three buttons)
−when you are in recovery - "update zip from sd card" , choose your safe PhilZ kernel from internal SD card, then flash it. Now you are on a safe kernel, but dont do any actions (like flashing, wiping etc.) Yust reboot your device.
−Now in app drawer you will see a new icon called SuperSU. That means you are rooted.
- If you want to be 100% sure that you are on a new safe kernel, try reboot in recovery (volup+home+pwr) now you will se a new CWM6 recovery (it is different from stock, grey background color, if you not seeing it then somethings wrong, dont perform any actions in stock recovery, and ask for further help).
−Now you are ready for flashing your new rom (read OP in rom thread, and folow instructions for flashing written from devs)
If you are on stock GB, then steps are little different (we will discusing it later, now going in bed, it is little late in my time zone
If you do not understand exactly what you're doing, do not flash anything, better to read the sticky threads first, and the Q & A section of the forum, there are a lot of similar questions and answers

− Go to stock recovery (VolUp+Home+Power, wait till samsung gt-n7000 logo appear, then realase all three buttons)
−when you are in recovery - "update zip from sd card" , choose your safe PhilZ kernel from internal SD card, then flash it. Now you are on a safe kernel, but dont do any actions (like flashing, wiping etc.) Yust reboot your device.
−Now in app drawer you will see a new icon called SuperSU. That means you are rooted.
- If you want to be 100% sure that you are on a new safe kernel, try reboot in recovery (volup+home+pwr) now you will se a new CWM6 recovery (it is different from stock, grey background color, if you not seeing it then somethings wrong, dont perform any actions in stock recovery, and ask for further help).
−Now you are ready for flashing your new rom (read OP in rom thread, and folow instructions for flashing written from devs)
If you are on stock GB, then steps are little different (we will discusing it later, now going in bed, it is little late in my time zone
If you do not understand exactly what you're doing, do not flash anything, better to read the sticky threads first, and the Q & A section of the forum, there are a lot of similar questions and answers

Jeetu can you help me please?
as i said in my earlier post, i've got rooted via the method in the other post.
its all worked and ive got the 3.0.15 frankel kernal
how do i go about getting a good rom now?
Are you on ics?
Check this- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30810194
And see if your kernel is safe to wipe and flash, I guess Franco kernel below v4 is not.
Flash some safe kernel and you will be good to flash any custom rom.
Edit- yes, you need to change kernel, check post #3 of this thread to change kernel- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30574729
Once on safe kernel you can boot in cwmr and flash any rom after full wipe.

yes, before i rooted my note, i was on 4.0.4
i've done the root via the method in the link in my previous post, and also installed the 3.0.15 frankel kernal.
i just want to know how to go about installing a nice rom now.
and also how do i change the kernal if i need to, as i know some roms work better with different kernals.
I'm going to send you a PM mate.
