Hi All,
1. Will unlock the bootloader wipe out the phone? If so how to root 2.3.6 without losing data?
I want to backup my data in the N1, then do flash the CM7 mod onto that.
It's in retail 2.3.6, I want to backup my data first.
sms, did with sms backup and restore.
call logs and bookmarks, how I backup them?
apps, want to backup with titanium backup, but hasn't root the phone yet.
I found the root guide for 2.3.6 here
https://bexton.net/2011/10/12/bexboot-root-nexus-one-passion-grk39f/
But it wants me to unlock the bootloader first, unlock the bootloader will wipe the phone so I will lost my data right?
apps can be redownloaded, so how I backup my call logs and bookmarks without root (yet)?
--
another question is I see the note for the latest N1 CM7 build is
'The latest radio is needed to run CyanogenMod 7'.
I can see my phone already has baseband of 5.08.00.04, do I need to do anything related to the radio while I flashing CM7?
Regards,
Sorry, there is NO way to back up your data if you are on 2.3.6 with a locked bootloader and without root.
I'm on stock 2.3.6.
Tried using the bexboot method, but it goes through all the steps and does nothing.
The bat file at the end doesn't reboot my phone or root.
I have also tried downgrading my device, but every time i go into fastboot, it says I have the wrong img file, or the file can't be found. I have properly renamed the file and put it on my sd card. no luck.
please help

Sry for the late response, but i've been on a business trip. The issue with my first version of bexboot was, that it was compiled from a heavily "prestressed" system with lots of modifications. Thus i rebuilt the boot image from a complete clean source.
So if somebody is still looking for an "idiot-proof" way to root a Nexus One on stock GRK39F, check out the updated version release of Bexboot v2.0 what have been confirmed working from people who had issues with v1:

What is the advantage of doing this, if all you have to do is flash a custom recovery and flash this from recovery??

Hey Efrant,
well, actually there is no big difference. But if i should find some, maybe:
A) ALL-IN-ONE
* It comes packed with all you need.
* There is no need to have the SDK installed before using it.
* You don't need to flash a custom recovery before using it.
B) STOCK
* As you don't need a custom recovery to flash it, you also don't need to overwrite any of the original stock ROM files. So actually your system stays completely untouched.
C) UP-TO-DATE
* It installs the latest versions of Superuser APK / su binary, rather than the linked ones.
The bottom line: Actually it was built for "beginners", to provide a simple to use method to root a stock ROM. You can download a zip archive, connect an untouched, never used/modified stock phone to a computer, type two/three commands in a terminal window, the phone reboots, you have root and the system is still pure stock. That's what it's all about..
Cheers!

Thanks for the explanation. Good work.
But just to address some of your points:
A) ALL-IN-ONE:
if you don't install the SDK, you still need to install the fastboot and ADB drivers anyway - there is no difference between using this method or any other method, i.e., either the SDK or the drivers themselves have to be installed for your device to be recognized by the computer.
B) STOCK:
flashing a custom recovery on a stock ROM does not really overwrite anything, because once you boot your device, the stock recovery is automatically flashed back by the ROM.
no ROM files are touched by flashing a custom recovery.
C) UP-TO-DATE
I linked to the wrong thread in my post.. oops I meant to link here: http://androidsu.com/superuser/

Well, as said: actually there's no big difference. And yeah, indeed you're right about the recoveries. But to address one of your (/my) points:
The SDK is an application package that needs to be installed.
Fastboot, as well as the ADB are standalone executables; there is nothing to be installed. These executables are just a tiny part of the whole SDK Package. There's no need to download and install all the SDK Package, if you'd need just the adb, the fastboot and the drivers. Thus you'd save at least some time (and bandwith).
Also, when i'll include the install script tomorrow (as it has been with v1), it will reduce the number of commands you have to type in the terminal to two.
So the bottom line: eventhough you're right about (almost all of) your contras, if you'd need to start with an untouched phone and computer it's definitely faster - and i think, also just simpler - to do it "my way".
But.. anyway.. it's the same way.

Well, my o2x keeps rebooting, and stucking on boot.. i tryied flash v10b with nvflash and v20l with smartflash and its keep rebooting.. the phone doenst boot, i cant get into home screen.. anyone knows what can be? how i can fix it?
Thx
Have you come from a custom ROM before flashing v10b? If you have then you will probably have to use Paul obriens backtoext3 which is just flashed in cwm.
If its not then that's as far as my helpfulness can go...

i was on modaco, then i restore back the original backup with cwm.
after i tryied install v20l, phone doesnt boot, then i tryied v10b and phone doesnt boot..
now i cant install CWM since the android system doesnt up.. any other idea? maybe a backtoext3 without cwm?
You should still be able to get cwm even in a boot loop. Keep holding power and volume down until you get to it and then flash backtoext3.
Was it boot looping after you restored your original. If it was then you might only be able to nv flash an original rom.
If it wasn't then you should be able to get to recovery and flash backtoext3

No. He said he smartflashed 20L, which means CWM has been overwritten with the stock recovery. All this will achieve is a wipe.

Yes, it does. I suggested you install CWM so you can restore a backup or flash a new one.
Both of the flashing procedures (NVFlash, Smartflash) should have restored your phone to a working state no matter what, so either your phone is faulty, or your USB-connection is flaky, lets hope its the last. (I assume you have read how, and most importantly, how not to connect USB when flashing.)
So run back2ext3, install a ROM and see if that works.

Primarily it was a hint to go search and read about how to flash before you flash. But since you ask:
Do not connect to USB via a hub, always connect directly to the computer. When something doesn't work, try a different cable. Do not use an overclocked computer to flash. etc. etc. etc.

Try to flash a rom or restore a backup via CWM. Doing the same thing over and over is not likely to help.
Download one of these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1328656
Put it on your sdcard.
Install CWM via NVFLash. (If not already there.)
Start CWM.
Wipe/Factory reset.
Flash it.

Since some people asked me, I'm providing rooted system.img to be flashed by nvflash, an easy way to get v28g installed from kdz or smartflash rooted, for those who prefer to keep it as stockish as possible. The only mods I did from stock kdz backed up from my phone was to push su and superuser.apk.
This procedure did not wipe anything, so as a rule you shouldn't worry about backups, but I recommend you to use nvflash tool to make backups of all your partitions before trying this. Search here on dev's section to "nvflash toolkit", an excellent work from rmein, and use it to make backups.
Put the .img extracted from downloaded 7zip file on any functional nvflash folder, connect your phone in apx mode (without battery, BOTH vol up and down and plug it to usb), go to your nvflash folder and execute the following in cmd prompt.
nvflash.exe --bl fastboot.bin --download 23 rooted_system_v28g.img
Actually, I don't know if this command works on windows. Since I'm linux user (I'm sure that command syntax is useless to penguin's users), I didn't test this on win. So, if you used nvflash before on your win box and the previous didn't work, please let me know.
Download: http://db.tt/Qe6iLjpl
It's my personal dropbox folder. Please, feel free to mirror it and I'll update this OP, since I use my dropbox space to work.
Edit: leclanpim made an easy way to flash this system.img, putting a .bat file with nvflash.exe and the system itself in one zipped file, sharing it at https://docs.google.com/open?id=0Bw9sO0__Wuu-THkzcHpaeERmMHM
Thanks to him.
The easiest way to get root, imho, is to flash bootloader, cwm, and then root zip from cwm. All files are small and no data loose at all.

Thank you louis, that's what I was looking for last weeks, then I found Homero's rooted 28G with some adds/mods. Now I'm downloading your system.img which is pure leaked 28G with the root as the only mod.
I'll tell you more.
Since some days I decided that from now on I'll test only custom 28G roms distributed in nvflash format: I nvflash the custom system.img, don't wipe my data, don't change bootloader, get rid of cwm and rom manager. It looks like the cwm round but I think it's faster and cleaner (maybe less risks of brick?), in addition, since I was used to copy my cwm backups on PC, using nvflash backup I have the full image of my rom straight on PC and I don't fill my external SD with neverending backups. Of course, using nvflash backups you cannot open and look inside like it is with cwm backups, but maybe some dev will find the way to do it.
I understand that SuperSkill, too, thought the same solution.
EDIT: just flashed from win7 and all is working.
Thanks, Man!...:good:

After trying V28E and G (Stefan's release with wkpark's unlocked bootloader and custom CWM) with different babsebands, I also decided to flash a "clean" stock V28G with the original bootloader, just to see if it resolves an in-call audio bug for me. So, this image came in handy, thank you! I backed up and restored my data partition using the nvflash toolkit. No problems with flashing, everything came up fine, with all my data intact. Hopefully, this setup will work with no audio issues until the ICS release (or a new leak... )
Thanks for this, now what's left are flashing it yes Walsh, I think this is a great way of supplying "roms". This method let's you keep locked bootloader and you can increase system partition, then flash only system.img with nvflash, correct? I'm just about to get Ubuntu into my desktop to extract the img and modify it as I like it......but what you guys have done lately are very respectful

First of all, this is NOT a ROM! This is the rooted system partition image for the clean leaked ICS Stock, which has a different partition layout from CM10. So, unless you already installed a stock V28E or V28G ROM and repartitioned your phone, it will not work for you.
Second, I would recommend always launching batch files from a command window instead of double-clicking them -- this way, you can always see all messages...

Actually, you can! I have no idea how to do this on win box, but on linux it's very simple (that's how I pushed root on this img).
All you have to do is mounting it with loop in an empty folder, than you can not only look into the system dir but also modify it, and when you unmount it, your img will be updated (maybe even before, don't know).
Supposing you have the system.img in the folder were you're, just run as root:
mkdir modsystem
mount -o loop system.img ./modsystem
Than you can go into modsystem with any file manager, and you'll see that this folder is the system folder. There you can modify what you would to, and after that (be careful with permissions, they will be there after flashing), just run:
umount modsystem
Than you can flash it by nvflash and see the magic happening! And welcome to the free penguin world.

I'll tell the way I prefer, because in this way you flash Rom and baseband art the same time without losing any data.
-Download the v28g kdz image here. MD5SUM: a7d0e9763e4029484358f46936fe0099
-After downloading the kdz, flash it using instructions found here AND here. Note that on the instruction to edit the "C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\host", its actually "hosts", with an S at the end. Also use the www,zip attached for the instructions on the post (not the shttp3.zip).
-following these instructions, you should be able to flash the kdz without losing any data, even with the baseband flashed.
-after that, start your phone as usual, then follow the instruction on the first post to get your newly stock v28g rooted.
If you can't find the related topics, just be patient and I'll update here with the links after I get time on my pc.

-There, search for the v28g kdz image. I didn't test it, but I'd read that the link from lg is not working, so search for a mirror

As a possible alternative to the described method, I can suggest using a KDZ Converter for P970. It will extract two files from a KDZ (the ROM itself and the baseband), which you can then flash with SmartFlash. Contrary to what you may read, this tool DOES work for P990, as long as you don't select patching option for CWM (just answer "n"). This process is easier than flashing a KDZ, but some people prefer direct KDZ flashing (I am not aware of any differences in the end result, so, being lazy, I just do it the easier way ).
Decided to go this way as well to see if it prevents the loss of sound in calls. The cmd command did however not work for me, got stuck on 'nvflash started'. Very strange, first time I encountered something like that.
Anyway, thanks to leclanpim for the repack! And thank u for providing the image :thumbup:
Will now restore my Titanium backups and get back to business.

Dude, thanks a lot for your help. The trick for nvflashing the whole SystemImage work flawless under Windows7 X64 with the same set of commands as you write. Again, thanks.:good:
Louis, many thanks for your explainations.
If you can open system.img under linux and modify files as you already did rooting original 28G maybe, if you want to, you could do something more dangerous. Here it is.
download the latest CM10 nightly + JB Gapps,
merge gapps \system in CM10 \system,
replace the 28G system folder of your system.img with the created CM10+gapps \system folder and save a new CM10 system.img,
nvflash CM10 system.img
load battery and at last
with vol- and power you can do a hw factory reset and (maybe) you could boot new CM10 with locked bootloader, new partitions and without cwm recovery.
Do you think it could work?
LG Bugs?
Hi all,
I am currently on Stefan's deodexed V28g (with V28g BB & new unlocked bootloader)
I am having the following two little bugs (which I also had when I was on V28E odexed too)
1) Additional keyboard languages don't stay permanent. After reboot only english is checked.
2) Under Advanced Wifi settings"Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" options: Whichever of these two options I select ("Only when plugged in" or "Never (increases data usage)") the wifi disconnects OK when it should, but after device stays locked for a long time,
it never reconnects (as it did in GB). It is showed on but disconnected. You have to switch it off & then back on.
Probably they are LG's bugs but I would appreciate if someone being on this one (stock-stock ICS), could confirm.
Thank you

Thank you

I rooted, then unlocked the phone, then went installing the CWM contained in the "all in one tool" thing in the development forum for our device. Sadly, I cant seem to install any ROM, I always initially get some sort of getprop error? Any ideas?

What version of CWM is installed ?
You need 6.0.3.1 to install custom roms.

6.0.2.8 .... I before tried the thing from the CWM thread, with this warning of not working on V20 beta something, installed by an apk? That one was not bootable before and sort of rendered my phone dead, as it woul dnot boot into the installed LG ROM as well after I tried the install. I had to do an emergency reinstall of LGs own ROM with the LG Support Tool ... so I don't trust that CWM there ..... I'm not sure, which ones will work on my Euro P880.

Do u have any workable rom installed ?
You can download Rom Manager from play store and then download and install cwm 6.0.3.1. from rom manager
Nope ... ROM is broken. I can't even put the original LG ROM on it ... the LG USB drivers seem not compatible with W8.

Have you tried to run LG Support Tool as Administrator - it helped me to install original LG ROM
Ok, managed to do it somehow ... it's installing by means of emergency install ... I hope it runs through

they're compatible, but it's a hassle to make them work. you gotta reinstall your drivers every time you need to use S/W mode, and after you install, check device manager, some components are installed as unrecognized, you gotta update driver -> automatic search.
After you unlock your bootloader how to install CWM 6.0.3.1
Download the tool ,,
http://d-h.st/HFR
extract the folder
open the folder
find file with name: O4X_CWM.img
rename it to something else e.g. O4X_CWM_old.img
Download new cwm (i gave you link before, but here is another
http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-p880.img
put recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-p880.img file in the same folder as your renamed file (O4X_CWM_old.img)
rename recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-p880.img to O4X_CWM.img
Right click on "[All-In-One][P880].bat" choose run as administrator
The tool will ask you if you have the drivers ,, install them if you don't have .
The tool will show you 8 options .
In your phone go to Settings/Developer Options/Check "USB Debugging" ,,
then connect phone .
choose CWM Recovery option.
wait for complete
disconnect phone
Turn off phone
Turn on phone with vol down pressed.
It should load cwm 6.0.3.1
It worked on my phone, good luck
Whopeee ... operation successful! I can finally install the rom The touch feature of that CWM is reall yfantastic .. no more crazy volume button rocking. Thanks much!
To sum up what I did in short:
- Started with Euro 4.1.2 LG original ROM.
- Press Power/Vol Down to get into the tiny original blue Menu
- Chose install by ADB
- used the root package for 4.1.2 (small thing linked in here), just ran root.bat in a administrator cmd shell on windows --> rooted phone
- Unlocked phone using the cat & echo of the file named in here --> unlocked
- Used the all in one tool with the new CWM file to install the CWM
Now to check out those roms.... I hope one of them is sophisticated enough not to be a crazy battery eater and heat producer...
(man, these guessing games on which info on here is accurate every few months drives me completely crazy..... but in the end it's great)
I am only just new and have been playing around with this custom rom stuff for a short while now, I have ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.7 on my I9305T. I have tried a few different Roms so far but they don't work. I tried just today "RevolutionaryS5-V3" it obviously went through the installation process but did not boot into it, just came up with the samsung default ( samsung S III GT- I9305T ) logo in white. It disappeared then came back looping that way.
So now I have went into the "Advanced Menu" and then "show log" I don't know if this will help you but, it displayed this:-

Something went wrong while flashing rom or maybe the rom data is corrupt.
Bootloop means your device fails to boot if system data is corrupt by flashing rom
You had soft brick.
Reboot into recovery and restore the stock rom if you had nandroid backup.

RevolutionaryS5-V3? that one is not for the i9305 unless i have missed a thread for it. The roms for your phone can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305
but as stated flash stock rom again, flash custom recovery and then choose the rom for your phone
Hey Piyush,
Initially I did try do a Backup using Titanium Backup app, first try I think there wasn't enough room on the internal HDD, so I tried on the external HDD which I thought had done so.. So when I came to this problem, the backup did not work.
Now at first before I rooted the phone. It was done by odin v1.85 and of course it did root. So I know it has superSU, but I can't get onto a stock rom for this phone because of my **** sat internet bandwidth and also a good site to download from. I tried the samsung-update site, but the 2 links don't allow me to finish the download. Do you know of any links that i can download the stock rom for my i9305T my phone was running android v4.3. The link I just stated was for v4.3.
Can you give me some advise on how or what I should do?
Regards,
Wayne

The phone was v4.3 before i rooted the phone. Do i need to flash the stock v4.3 rom again or can i use the older v4.2 or newer v4.4 to reflash the recovery?

I'm not sure if you can downgrade from 4.3 to 4.2 or earlier. If the phone was running 4.3 then I'd install 4.3 or 4.4 to get stock recovery back. Then you can install a custom recovery. No need to root your phone for that.
Do you know a link that will take me to a compatible file for my GT-i9305T, I'm just not sure what to look out for. Also would you be able to give me a quick rundown/instructions on how to do this. Will I need odin, and which version will I need. Currently I have v1.85, that's what I used to start off. I really don't wanna brick this phone.

there you'll find the Kitkat DBT for i9305. Will work with your phone as well. In the OP you'll find instruction on how to install this version via odin. Odin is included in the zip.
After that you put your phone into download mode again and flash the preferred recovery via odin. But don't use TWRP 2.8.7.0 from their site. That build is broken and is getting fixed atm. Either use TWRP 2.8.5.0 or latest Philz Touch. If you decide to flash a custom ROM again, make sure you're in the right forum, e.g. i9305
Thanks heaps for your help so far maultasche, I will let you know how I go with this.

Wayne

From backup I actually meant if you had cwm and you did a nandroid backup of the stock rom from the recovery itself.
If you are getting bootloop you can easily fix it by restoring the backup.
Search on the net about recovery from soft brick and bootloops.
Nandroid backups can atleast get your device in running condition.
If you have custom recovery backup your rom first then you can flash any desired rom.
One more thing if you had flashed custom rom do not factory reset your device,this may result in soft brick.
Hope that helps!
Is your device booting now??

Yes, I successfully got the phone to boot up and run. I used the I9305XXUFNI3_I9305DBTFNI3_I9305XXUFNI3_HOME.tar file using the odin v3.09 and now it has asked the country and so on..
It was a bit daunting thinking if it was going to brick or fix the phone...
Thanks for your help, time and kindness for the files you gave me.
The next couple of days I will try attempt install Cyanogenmod 11. Will I need to use odin to install the recovery image, just like I did for the I9305XXUFNI3_HOME.tar file?

You're welcome, glad it did help.
Yes, you need odin to flash the recovery again. No need to root your phone just to install the recovery, as mentioned. Then you can flash whatever ROM you'd like. One thing - although CM 11 still gets nightlies from time to time there is no maintainer left. He switched devices. If you encounter any issues which might be device related they probably won't get fixed.
Is sending pics on pc still an issue? Sorry, I wasn't online and I forgot to check the thread :/
HI Maultasche, so I have been looking at the" Resurrection-Remix-LP-v5.5.6" rom and have been downloading the files for it, but i am not sure what the "changelog" file is for or what it does. The page - forum . xda-developers.com / galaxy-s3 / development-i9305 / rom-resurrection-remix-4-4-2-kitkat-v5-t2704828 . It tells me I need these Installation Files:- ROM , Gapps & Changelog. Do you know if i can install this Rom using
CWM v6.0.4.7?
Oh, and about the send pic question, I wanted to send you a pic of the odin mode screen from my phone, but the only thing I could see was the "insert image" button. But it wanted me to enter a URL for the picture. Whats the go there?
Regards,
Wayne

The change log file only shows what has been fixed and what has changed to previous builds. Nothing you need for the ROM
You only need the ROM, gapps and the recovery. Use the recovery rodman has mentioned in his post.
Insert image button? Via Tapatalk? Don't know what you mean to be honest.
Me Again, just above this message box there is the insert image icon. Doh... So now I have spotted the Paperclip icon above and now feel a **** for asking how to send a picture.. Sorry.
So again I thank you for your help, it is much appreciated.

Need to install a ROM without a PC
Hi maultasche, Can you help me with this, I have my wife's phone which is a S3 i9305 as well. The USB connection on the phone has been damaged and so the cable can't be connected. I was wondering if I could still install the ROM without the use of a PC. Can you tell me the best software I could do this with? Also I am not sure the best way to back up the phone, not wanting to root it.
Regards,
Wayne
hi,
what ROM youre talking about? Official firmware? If you have a flashable zip yo could do that with flashfire, flashify, rashr etc. Or via custom recovery. For a custom recovery is no root needed.
As for backups depending on what you want to backup (whole system including data etc. or just apps with apps data). Without root your backup options are kind of limited. You can backup apps and app data via helium but not every app can be backed up using this tool. You could do a back up via adb but not sure how complete such a backup will be. I never did that. Or a backup with a custom recovery again. Might be the easiest way.
