I'm not rooted. How would I root without flashing recovery?

Make sure you have a recovery for the nexus one.
Go into fastboot. Flash the recovery. Then enter the command fastboot reboot recovery. Do that with out booting into the os.

Read the Wiki, Recovery section, and follow the guide for unlocked bootloader.

I did all that and it won't go into recovery. I have read the wiki quite a few times

fastboot boot name-of-recovery.img
If you reboot your phone, the stock recovery will be reinstalled...

Exactly. I guess you're not following the guide properly.
The guide says:
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
"fastboot reboot recovery"
Did you execute those as above? Or did you do it in some other way?

I did the commands just like that. One of u guys says its "fastboot boot recovery " and the other says reboot. Which is it? When I do the recovery.kimgom command it says its sending and writing it

"fastboot boot recovery.img" sends the image to boot from your HD, and doesn't check the image that is already in recovery partition.
"fastboot reboot recovery" uses the boot image from recovery partition - the one you just wrote.
What happens when you execute "fastboot reboot recovery"?

Nothing on the phone. On the command window the recovery shows

Do I have to put the recovery image on the SD card to?

The recovery can't show on command window.
Again, what happens when you execute "fastboot reboot recovery"?
Print the screen, because it looks like you can't explain what's going on.
No, you just need to follow the guide correctly.

Does OP need to run these before he reboots and right after flashing new recovery--
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p

If he doesn't even boot into OS - then no, he doesn't need it and can't do it from bootloader anyway.

gotcha--thanks Jack

When I execute the command nothing happens.

Are you sure you got the drivers installed?
Are you sure the bootloader is unlocked.
The commands have to work. Boot into fastboot and issue this command. Fastboot devices. Your devices serial number should show up in the command prompt.

What makes you think the recovery flashed
Did you put recovery in your SDK tools folder and go to that path in terminal before fastbooting the .img
I also read somewhere a long time ago, some phones like mine don't accept reboot command thru fastboot
You could run your commands and then adb kill-server, disconnect phone and reboot using phone buttons

When I turn in the phone it shows the unlocked padlock. I put the image in my tools folder and I pit the command fastboot devices and get my serial #

Sideload a custom recovery? What? Haha
Your phone has the updated touch drivers. That is why twrp won't work. Go to their thread. Redownload the newest version. Rename it TWRP.img. Make sure its in the same folder as your fastboot files. Hold shift and right click inside the folder. Select open command prompt here. Connect the phone while its in bootloader. "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img" "fastboot erase cache".
Good luck.

[Q] I cannot boot into Recovery no matter what

So I installed a ROM not for my Sprint HTC one M7....
Now it just says this. I do not know what to do. Also I tried to ADB push but it says "Device not found"
press the power button and it should enter the bootloader screen where you can select recovery using the volume up and down keys

i think you cannot use adb command on fastboot
adb can be used on recovery or on system rom only while on usb debugging
have your flashed a recovery? (fastboot flash recovery (recovery file name.img)

Exactly.
In fastboot the fastboot commands work, but not the adb ones.
Yea it sounds like your Recovery got wiped at some point. Grab a Custom Recovery .img (TWRP or CWM) and boot to fastboot (shown in your screenshot). Open a command prompt in your adb/fastboot directory, with the recovery image in the same directory, and enter the following:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery 'nameofrecovery'.img
Then reboot bootloader and try accessing recovery again.

This is almost always the only fix for a Sprint phone that was flashed with a GSM rom.

Try HTC One Toolkit
Hello,
you can try the HTC One Toolkit to install and enter to an new Recovery.
I think TWRP 2.6.3 is for the HTC One the easyer Recovery.

I have a friend who unlocked his phone rooted it installed viper and after install went to reboot and it just boots back into boot loader then when you reboot phone it brings up fastboot menu so I try to hit recovery and it just reboots back into fadtboot can't get into recovery so I use fastboot flash recovery to flash recovery back .. that works no problem but now there's nothing on the phone I tried to push files using adb to push a Rom back on the phone but it says device not found I have installed and uninstalled the drivers hundereds of times
How else can I get files on the phone without adb? Is it a Windows 7 issue? I'm stuck no phone

If your sure your drivers are working fine it should work. Adb only works in recovery though. You are using adb in the recovery, Not the bootloader?

Trouble flashing TWRP

Hello everybody. I'm having some problems flashing TWRP after unlocking the bootloader.
First of all, after unlocking the BL, I have flashed back the stock logo using
Code:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
Then I tried flashing TWRP.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Everything is successful, but booting to recovery from bootloader turns the phone off, and using
Code:
adb reboot recovery
brings about a 'dead android' screen with 'No command' written below it. I had to force reboot.
The phone itself works fine, and I was able to boot to TWRP, using the same .img file,
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
, and flash SU and whatever.
I don't really have a clue about what's going on here, can anybody point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance
Nevermind, solved using TWRP manager app, and flashing the recovery from Android. Still don't know why I wasn't able to flash recovery from fastboot.

I think you should use mfastboot instead of fastboot

Mfastboot? I am using Linux, I think that it's for Windows only. Anyway, I don't think the problem is on computer side, since the commands were successful both on the pc and the phone.

HTC One Mini 2 - Problem with root

Hi everyone
I stuck with root procedure (first link when you type "htc mini 2 root" in google)
I did unlock bootloader with htcdev, I am able to run adb and fastboot - meaning I can restart my phone into fastboot loader but I cannot run TWRP recovery, I dont know why. I downloaded few versions of this .img file, I run command fastboot boot recovery xxxx.img, with some files there is no reaction at all, with file recovery-twrp-2.8.5.0 phone is restarting but into normal function, there is no twrp screen. I have CWM-SuperSU-v1.30 on sd card in the phone
Does anyone have clue what can be wrong here?
Thank you
