Hi I just bought a nexus one and was a little confused and was looking for some help. I looked around and couldn't find a solid answer. I want to root my nexus one running frg83 update. I saw there's a 1-click method recently made by I forget who which is supposed to work with almost all phones, nexus one included. Once I use that to root the phone, can I just download a rom, like evils desire rom, rename it to update.zip, put it on my SD card and flash through normal recovery? Sorry if that's a dumb question. Any help would be great. Thanks.

You have to flash a custom recovery first.
Do u know which one works with this version of android? That ra one?

Yes, you could use the amon ra or the clockwork mod. Your choice.
If it's a brand new Nexus One, it's probably SLCD, which means you can't use Clockwork until they make it compatible. The Amon recovery should work but it has to be 1.8 or up.
Also unless there's progress I'm unaware of, one click root won't work on this version. You'll have to follow the manual instructions for rageagainstthecage. And you can't use ROM Manager until Clockwork is fixed.

thanks for the help.. i used this to root and it worked: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
clockwork mod flashed too. it was a used nexus but i had google send me a replacement. still amoled i'm pretty sure. it has the red tint to it and blacks are really black so i think it's still amoled. anyways, so once it's rooted and i have the recovery flashed, i can just flash a rom right? no need for sd partitions or whatever?

Yep, you can flash any rom now.
Will rage thee cage method work now that my n1 us unlocked?
Is there a noobs guide to rage the cage? Also I haven't done much research on the radio. Would I need to download something for it? I'm lost as hell. THNKS FRG83
It will still work, but if you're unlocked it's pointless. Flash a custom recovery and use that in install a rooted update.zip (ChainsDD)
The Wiki is a good start, too...

I flashed amon-ra's recovery and once I rebooted I got an android with a "!". The guide I used was on nexusonefourums. It said that if I got that symmbol that I was not rooted. I used modacos frf91 superboot to root. I was told it'd work. Apparently not.
O and now my wifi doesn't work at all. It just says error under settings-wireless.
Easiest way to see if you have root is to download a flashlight app from the market that requires root, and see if it works.
I always understood that the exclamation android guy was because you had stock recovery (I'm sure someone will correct me).

No need, you're spot on. Unless you remove a couple of files, the stock recovery is re-installed.
Thanks for that!
It's been so long since I've seen the lil' exclamation bugger, that I've forgot why he appears!

There is. "Root FRG33/83 without unlock" contains the thread with the explanation, and "SuperOneClick root app" is simple to use. Both in "Guides".
To the OP: Read the Wiki, for God's sake. The questions here come over and over again, and the interesting threads and questions all get lost in the maze of "how to root my phone". There's a guide for flashing recovery, read under "Recovery", and it says - "for unlocked bootloaders". That would save you the trouble of trying to root through rageagainstthecage method, because with unlocked bootloader you don't need any of that. There's also a guide, called "Flashing custom ROMs", at "Guides and Tutorials". That would cover everything you need.
N1 torch asked for super user permission and the full brightness is now working. It wouldnt work without root. So im rooted.... hate to ask it but.... now what? do amon-ra again?
Looking to add CyMod... and whats the deal on the updating my radio? do i need to? I hate being ignorant, but I gotta ask to learn.. Or I could brick my 500 dollar phone.
Pretty sure you're still on stock recovery, so yes, flash Amon Ra or Clockworkmod (if you're on an SLCD screen, only Amon 1.8 or 1.9 will work).
The wiki has instructions, or use Clockworkmod ROM Manager (but read the wiki either way).

Good heads up danger-rat. Downloads most recent radio and updated. I used rom manager and flashed most recent clockwork recovery. Now my next problem is getting cyanogenmod to download through Tom manager. It got 95% complete and said "rom download error. Google Apps: (outside link I can't post because of being a new member)" in my notifications.
Found a manual download site for gapps hdpi. Hopefully I can install it correctly

Thanks for the help guys. I'm well rooted with restored GApps. Running CM6. One question though...
My age of conquest apps says that I have not purchased a license and now closes. I have emailed the app developer and haven't gotten a response. Any solution? I have uninstalled and redownloaded and still no fix.

Is there a easier way to Root your captivate, I have tried several one click or different ways and have had no luck. Anybody can help me with this or point me in the right direction that works? the one click app don't work I really want to add and run other apps.
And also the KIES software does not work it never did. I really don't like the software even after trying the lite version. I like Droid Explorer. Oh yea this is on a 2.2 Froy OS

Have you considered joining the party and flashing a custom ROM? They all come prerooted to make your lives easier. At least I know my ROMS, MikeyMikes and anything by designgears does. I have not tried the rest yet.
I would definitely follow adam's advice and just flash a new rom. here is a good tutorial to help you get started:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
Adam's roms are great as well as DG's. Give one of them a try and realize how good of a phone the captivate really is.
Paragon is pre rooted also.

OP said one click doesn't work for him lol but op have you enabled usb debugging before trying out one click? Just asking to make sure. Although I recommend going the custom rom route as well
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
If you are that stuck on rooting only, and one click really doesnt work for you (thats a first).
Google root captivate. A root update.zip should be very easy to find, put it on your internal sd card, reboot into recovery mode and select reinstall packages.
Id post one, but i am on my phone...
^ not going to be able to root on stock froyo at the recovery 3e wont let you install unsigned zips. The one workaround to this would be flashing a custom kernel via ODIN and then using that custom recovery to root.
Doh! I missed that.
Maybe odin to 2.1, and install a custom rom / kernel package...
I spent literally 7 hours trying to root my phone. I tried Alpha revX, the new superoneclick and this other method. I cant seem to get it. Maybe because I am just really tired but this is getting really frustrating. I managed to get my phone to S-OFF with Alpha rev but nothing else. Anyone have any successful attemps .. please tell me I am dying over here
Thanks!!

AlphaRevX only gives you S-OFF and I believe can now install ClockworkMod. To actually root your existing ROM, use need to flash rmk-superuser-v1.0.0.zip using ClockworkMod.
Ok so not to sound stupid but what do they mean by flash it to your phnne?

In this particular case, Flash = Use ClockworkMod to install a zip file that you have copied to your SD card.
So the order here is install clockwork mode first in order to root.my phone ?

Sorry, I thought the current version of the AlphaRevX software allowed you to install ClockworkMod, too. If you didn't install ClockworkMod during the AlphaRevX S-OFF process, then yes you need to install ClockworkMod Recovery in order to install the rmk-superuser zip file.
Yeah I can't believe I pressed.no when it asked me to download it. Would have saved me a lot of trouble .. now i am downloading the Android ask and avd manager to door my phone.

Would it be possible to go through the s off procedure again so that i can press yes this time .. or is that not recommended

I'm not sure it will let you get that far. AlphaRevX will detect that you are already S-OFF and exit the program from what I understand.
Why on earth is it so difficult to download recovery and root the phone. Ive been at this for another 3 hours and got nowhere. I am not a total noob but I am following Alphas instructions and it is saying that my recovery image isnt there when I boot in fastboot mode. Arrrghhhh!
Any other suggestions?

Search cyanogen wiki root rogers HTC dream or look for directions within xda. Otherwise where you are now get your custom recovery and terminal app and put the recovery on root of SD, name it recovery.img
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
reboot recovery
You may need to install the flash image binary first

Thank you but should I change the radio and spl? I need help as to how can I is my G1 as they post e911
Part of the rooting process will do this and you will want in then end to get the .13d SPL and 2708 radio but you need to get to compatible radio and SPL first. I've only rooted one rogers dream so off the top off my head I can't tell you all the proper steps, not at a computer to link you easy either. I don't believe you need to worry much about the post 911 patch anymore but when I rooted this I used the steps laid out in the cyanogen wiki and it all worked fine for me. I would suggest to look this up or find the steps here in xda

Sigh the droid X download is broken, really sorry but what about the other method?
ok sop get your custom recovery from HERE make sure you get one with an "R"
now flash the 1.33.2005 bootloader, found a working link HERE
Once all is complete and confirmed good the follow THESE INSTRUCTIONS to fully update phone and allow for newest roms
The last section requires you to learn fastboot, there are ways not to, but your going to have to try first
Hey thanks alot I finally did it, hboot was updated but the radio didn't I flashed the one in ezterry's thread multiple times through recovery but it just didn't update still I flashed ezgingerbread so now its working.
bdw if its not to much trouble do you have a froyo rom that is similar to ezgingerbread? Which can run on any radio or hboot?
What is everything it says on bootloader screen now?

I ran into a problem now stupidly flashed CWR via rom manager and now I can't flash any other recovey.
on terminal it says flash_image not found while on fastboot
D:\Android>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (4602 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.719s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: image type not support)
finished. total time: 1.734s
I got the hang of fastboot thanks to you but this problem is wrecking my nerves.
There is an option in ROM manager to flash another recovery, never use ROM manager so can't attest to how well it works, my guess is you have a bad image your trying to download, personally I like amonra the best for the g1, I believe the version is like 1.7 and if you go to amonras thread you will get download link and md5sum to check
