Ok guys, please go easy on me, I'm completely new. I bought a used Nexus One with CynogenMod 5.05 installed. I was able to update it to 5.06 with a breeze. And now, I wanted to updated to the latest and greatest, CM 5.07. I found a tutorial that referenced using the ClockworkMod, and I figured with a adp install it would be even easier than before.
Here's the real kicker, I couldn't get the clockworkmod recovery to update to the latest CM 5.07, so I figured that a complete wipe (SD Card, cache, everything) would make things better.
Unfortunately, after trying many times to flash/update CM or 2.2 Froyo, I can't get it to work. Do I need to run a .sh file? Keep in mind my Sd card formatted with appropriate file directories. How do I run the commands on CMD/Terminal?
I'm pretty knowledgeable with general computers and technologies, but for this stuff I am completely overwhelmed with all the knowledge being passed around as I just want a working Nexus One for now. Could you guys condense and appropriate which steps I should take? I promise I will come back to study deeper into the unix architecture/Android OS
Could be something wrong with the recovery. When u flash the ROM does it give u any error? Did u try redownloading the ROM and try flashing again?

Please answer Yes/No to the following questions:
1.Are you able to boot the phone into recovery mode?
2.Do you have a reliable nandroid backup?
3.Do you have a way to connect your microSD card to your PC without connecting to your phone?
I don't know what else to ask you.
Depends on the answers above.
----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----
I'm thinking that you can just transfer a reliable download of the latest stable Cyanogen ROM ([ROM] CyanogenMod-5: Kang Central Station (STABLE) [06/19/2010 / 5.0.8]) to the root of your card, and REFLASH.
You tried that already, right?!?!
hhmm, maybe the installation of ClockworkMod was NOT successful?!?!
What about this?
Code:
fastboot erase recovery

@irgins: please let us know if the posted solution by djmcnz works for you
I understand this correctly?
You know you do not really like to unlock your bootloader?
Or it does not work with the Toturials from the web?

Please don't reply to posts more than one year old. This problem has surely been resolved long ago.
Does anyone know how to get full flash? I've read a N1 thread that said HTC phones can run it, but I can't get it to work.

Looks like you made a mistake in 1 of 2 places
1) Using RSD lite for installing vulnerable recovery (did it flash ok?)
2) Or you did not install OpenRecovery correctly.
#1 requires you to restart with RSD
#2 requires checking that you did the Following:
OpenRecovery zip file contains 2 things : an update.zip and an OpenRecovery folder. You need to extract (copy) these 2 elements to the root of you SD card.
So in your SDCard you should have an update.zip FILE and an OpenRecovery FOLDER.
Then, from the standard recovery menu, you choose apply update.zip. This will start the OTHER recovery you wish to use (to install ROM). The ROM zip files belong (unextracted) in the OpenRecovery/updates subfolder.
Does this make sense?
yes RSD showed me PASS then only i closed it. After which i switched off the phone and then went to the "apply update..." menu.
i also do had update.zip, openrecovery and openrecovery-cfg all three folders.
so do you think is there any other place to go wrong?
moreover the universal androot's APK doesnt look like an setup file in milestone, any idea about it ?
now, let me try the link you gave me.

Try the link, follow the guide and ask again.
Honestly, you don't really need to root using those methods.
The vulnerable recovery + OR is all you need. Most the ROMs you will install have root built-in.
I would make sure I download ANDROIDIANI recovery (it is generally considered the best for Milestone.
Thanks Caz666, the link you gave me worked like a magic. Now i am done with root and cyanogenmod 6.1.2.
Post root and MOD-cyanogen6.1.2
hey Caz666, thanks again. i did the root and then used the update.zip>>cyanogenmod6.1.2.

I am not certain i understand your questions
1. Wiping : you need to wipe all data (factory reset) if you switch to a different ROM. You only need to wipe dalvik cache and /cache if you upgrade to a newer CM6.
2. ?

First of all thanks for all the help.got everything installed. My mile is working awesome.
When should I do wipe factory reset?
Next how can I get black colored status bar.top one.
Lastly if I have to install a new Tom should I
1. Redo sbf?flash ie firmware flash right?
2. Redo a open recovery. Is there a alternate to this?
3. Guess I can follow the rest of the instructions specific to that rom.

1)
You should do a full wipe only when switching to a REALLY different ROM. Upgrades and version updates do not require this. Also, if you are trying out another CM6 based ROM, you *may* be able to avoid this.
If you are not sure, you should wipe. With options like apps2ext or Titanium backup, wiping is not such a big deal.
2) You do not need to do #1 or #2 for a new ROM. Only flash SBFs if you want to try a stock ROM (like when Motorola releases Froyo) or you have serious issues with the phone. OpenRecovery only needs to be reinstalled when there is a new version
3) To install a new ROM, wipe from inside OR. The 3 options are there. Always wipe Dalkvik Cache and /cache partition when applying themes or updating ROMs. Wipe data for NEW Roms
I rooted my OB using wagstuff13 post with a v20i telus canada rom.

So I am replying to my own post as I dont wish to waste anyones time in trying to help me as I seem to have corrected it. What I did was boot into recovery using anreboot and cleared all caches including cache partition. Now I dont know if that was such a great idea, but it does not reboot on its own anymore. If this was windows I would not have any concerns but sadly it is not, and I have trouble grasping linux as I have been spoon fed windows my whole life. Not that particularly like windows, I actually hate it. I have no time to learn a new O/S as I have too much to do as it is.
Try to install GApps with CWM.
GApps from here.

I would reflash the rom completely again. Follow my tutorial fully and when done, wipe cache, and dalvik cache (which is under advanced). If installing apps still doesnt work, flash GApps using CWM. Hope this helps

If nothing works, try installing the Unofficial GAPPS Signed.
By example, CICI Rom have the same issues whit the apps related to google, such earth, viber, etc. And the only way to fix it, its installing the unofficial gapps, i cant post links because im new in xda, but try searching whit words "unofficial gapps" here in P970 forum.

Hi, so i searched and searched on here and other android forums and cant seem to find a link that works to download side load wonder machine or airsideload. All the links that i have found are dead ended or don't exist anymore for Mac. I am trying to resolve a problem on my captivate, it shows the com.google.process.gapps. I have read on other forums of how to fix this problem but cant download other apps or .apk to fix this problem because of the error. So that being said I am trying to side load the gtalkservice.apk but nowhere can i find a link that works to download a usable side loader. after everything done and said i just want to be able to download apps from the google Market. Please help been on this for a couple of days and cant find a good link. the captivate is already rooted successfully using one click root. YOUR HELP WILL BE VERY APPRECIATED

You can sideload apps without a sideloader if you're rooted (depending on your firmware version). Although, at this point I would just flash stock KK4 with Odin to get you on stock GB. From there, you can download and flash Corn Kernel to flash a JB ROM. Perhaps you haven't reached that far yet but it's definately something you should look into.
Mind explaining how you got that error btw? And, did you try clearing your Play Store's data?
