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.

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?

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!

Hello,
Since a while I have a Nexus One(Bought in the Netherlands from Vodafone, with FRF91). And when I heard about
the ability to use the FM Radio on it using CyanogenMod I started thinking about replacing it's stock rom
with CyanogenMod. I have some previous experience with custom ROM's on my ADP1 and have been doing some research but still have some questions. Thats what this post is for.
I want to flash CyanogenMod because I want: FM Radio, ability to do full backups, theming and tuning the trackball notifications.
So first question: Besides these what are the most important benefits of flashing CyanogenMod to my N1?[Q1]
I also want to be able to completely undo the whole process in case I need the warranty or just want to go back for whatever reason. So here is my current todo list to get what I want:
Step 1) Use Super One Click RATC program to get root without unlocking the bootloader(and thus keeping warranty).
If I understand correctly this program will use the RATC exploit in ADB to get ADB with root previliges, push the su program and install the Superuser app, correct?[Q2]
Does the unroot button completely undo this process without leaving any trace?[Q3]
Step 2) Install ROM Manager app from market.
Step 3) Flash ClockworkMod Recovery using ROM Manager app.
Is it possible to backup/reflash the original stock recovery image that my Nexus came with?[Q4]
I found a mediafire page somewhere with the file "Passion-VF-FRF91.zip". Would this be the original rom image my phone came with(Netherlands, Vodafone, FRF91) or are all European Vodafone N1s the same?[Q5]
Step 4) Backup complete phone using nandroid from ClockworkMod recovery.
Will this backup my radio (and hboot if it gets overwritten?) too?[Q6]
Step 5) Flash CyanogenMod using ROM Manager.
Is there a way to migrate my app data(settings and save games) from my stock install to the new CyanogenMod install?[Q7]
Step 6) Live happily ever after.
Any answers to my questions or general tips are appreciated. I might sound paranoid but I just want to be on the safe side of things and not brick my brand new $600 phone.
Thanks
What a load of questions you have...
1. "Extra customizability" and functionality that stock ROM doesn't have.
2. Yes.
3. Don't know, probably so. It doesn't matter anyway.
4. Yes.
5. Don't know, but again, why do you care? It doesn't matter. Just back up your own personal ROM with the recovery.
6. No radio and no hboot.
7. Titanium backup.
8. You're WAY too paranoid. Stop worrying about stuff so much. It's only stuff, even if it costs $600.
And read my signature...
Not sure when the SLCD screens started coming in, but if your custom recovery is black after installing, you will need to install Among Ra 1.9 instead... (you may be OK with FRF91, though).

Hey guys, I just bought a Nexus One off of craigslist. The guy that I bought it from has CyanogenMod-6.0.0-N1 on it right now. Im not really experienced with flashing custom roms and rooting or any of that stuff. I put Froyo on my Captivate when I had and thats it. What I would like to do is to get my Nexus One back on stock Froyo so I can start with a clean slate. Im not sure of everything that the previous owner did to the phone and Ive been having a couple of issues with it, so I just want to start over so I know exactly what is on the phone. So what I need to know is how I can do this.
-Where can I find a stock Froyo file?
-How do I put it on my Nexus One? Do I have to erase the CyanogenMod first?
-Any other hints or good roms that you guys would suggest.
-Is there a way to back up my phone so I dont have to reinstall all of my apps?
Im sorry if there is already another thread like this. I couldnt find it. Thank you for any help.
I did exactly what you did. I used the Passimg.zip method http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...des_&_Tutorials#Unroot_.2F_Restore_your_Nexus Was easy as pie. But yeah i didn't need to do backup / restore of apps as it was a new phone. You can't use Titanium Backup without root, but the market as a few other apps that let you backup apps to SD card.
All info including the Froyo ROM files are linked from the wiki. I went with FRG33 and then updated to FRG83.
Thank you. I was reading through the wiki post and I wasn't sure if the files were updated because the original post date was a while ago. So if I do the method that you did, will it unroot my phone? It is rooted right now.

Yes it will unroot it, flash the stock rom and will also flash stock recovery. So if you have a custom recovery installed that will go away too. Plus all your data and apps.

Is there any way to do this without a functioning power button? The only way to select things in the bootloader is with it.

My bootloader is locked, and I'd like to keep it that way. I'm sending it in to HTC and want it to go as smoothly as possible.
Just as an FYI, what I did to get back to stock:
From CM6.0 I flashed clockwork recovery
from clockwork I flashed 4.06 radio (was on 5.08)
flashed stock unrooted FRF91 from an update.zip
used flash_image in ADB from recovery to flash a stock recovery.img pulled from a FRF91 PASSIMG.
Everything works and is 100% stock now.
Sounds like you're all over it then...

Wait, didn't you need to be rooted to flash back the stock recovery?

I was still rooted in clockwork. Using flash_image put it back to stock unrooted recovery.
As it stands I have stock unrooted everything including recovery.
Oh i see, thanks for the details
Hi everyone
I have a question, I rooted my phone (Nexus One AT&T version) with Androot after that I downloaded Rom Manager and install cyanogenmod 6.1 before that I do a backup of my stock rom with Rom Manager and stored in my Sd card.
My question are, in case I want to upgrade to gingerbread the only thing I have to do is return to my original rom backup with Rom Manager and rooted again with the androot?
Thanks for your replies.

Yes that should be it.
Actually...
To use ROM Manager, you have to install a custom recovery and with a custom recovery
you won't be able to get the update OTA, since the update will reboot after download
and try to install via the original recovery...
But of course the update will most certainly be posted here as a update.zip that you
can install via ROM Manager...
//Nik
ClockworkMod recovery will install the OTA update as it doesn't check signatures.

I'm sure that within 24 hours (or 24 minutes) of the first release, a repacked update.zip for custom recovery will appear. If you're coming from Cyanogen, take a nandroid and Titanium backup first, then wipe data/cache, before proceeding.
Keep in mind we *don't* yet know if any root exploits remain in Gingerbread. They may well have patched up the "rageagainstthecage" exploit by now. If your bootloader is locked and you want it to stay that way, and you still want the option of root access... then wait for the custom recovery update.zip and use that.
Thanks to all for the answers, I don't think gingerbread have much changes like cyanogenmod 6.1, but in case Google announces tons of surprises with gingerbread I known the best way to return back to get the update.
Thanks

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.
Since Rom Manager is no longer in the market, what do I do? I'm still in 2.1 and rooted using the 1 click Root method, which I can't link for some reason. I want to have Gingerbread and Cyanogen Mod. How can I achieve this? (please talk to me like I'm a caveman or something. As I'm an epic computer guy, I have no knowledge of Android phones.)
EDIT: I used this to root my phone youtube.com/watch?v=-tAt9PMykz8
Just download the rom of your choice, place on the root of your SD card, boot into recovery, wipe everything (Make sure you did a back up first!!!!), then flash the rom (.zip file) then reboot your phone.
I have never used one click root. Does it even install a custom recovery?
