Okay, i currently have a N1 on CyanogenMod 7 just lying around, it was rooted with Universal Androot when it came out. I dont use it anymore because i have a G2X but i want to use it for testing purposes. The phone has nothing valuable and everything has been backed up and i got this idea.
Im currently working on Android Scripts to run and im mainly after the Default Stock. I need a link to a guide and the default stock to restore
Wow noob... ever heard of search?
I was about to add more info before you asked this -.-
You see, Universal Androot roots your phone by exploiting the system. Thing is, it roots your phone in one click and unlike z4root, i dont have to restart or anything! Its all right there and takes 5 seconds! Now the developer stopped updating it because Google fixed the patched used to exploit the system.
Im looking for the Stock Froyo THAT DOES NOT HAVE THIS VULNERABLE FIXED! Meaning, it MUST root and unroot with Universal Androot, anything else such as z4root and SuperOneClick WILL NOT WORK WITH ME so thats why im asking:
Im looking for:
A guide on how to restore Stock ROM (Forgot how to lol)
The Stock Froyo ROM that Universal Androot can work
A Link to the latest Universal Androot
Now, i can probably find the link to the Universal Androot and maybe how to restore but im mainly asking for a Stock ROM that Universal Androot supports and must be Froyo
Thanks!
Download the stock FRF91 (find the link in Wiki) and flash in recovery.
Another option, since it seems like your phone is probably well past its warranty, is to unlock the bootloader. Then you can root whatever version of Android you would like because you will be able to load a custom recovery. The custom recovery would allow you to flash a zip that can give you root access, or you can use adb and manually add the files needed into your system partition.

I dont know if there's another thread like this but I've been researching for the rooting of the g1
I know that to root the g1 you have to downgrade to rc29 (which is 1.0), use telnet to root and flash a recovery img in order to install a custom rom.
I found it rather long having to downgrade to 1.0, to root, to flash, then open recovery mode to wipe, install 1.6 recovery img and finally to install a custom rom (in this case Cyanogen).
And what i find disappointing is have to wipe the unit...twice!
Is there a way to downgrade directly to a RC29 of 1.5 root with one click and update the custom rom? Without having to wipe the unit? Just like the iPhone that you can jailbreak it without deleting the whole unit.
Number 1 wrong section... Number 2 I started with a fresh G1 last night, downloaded everything with said phone... downgraded, rooted, and flashed new spl, manup eclair, and ram hack last night in less than 45 mins... takes like 20 if you have everything ready....
once you downgrade or install a new rom, its going to wipe it out anyway.
YOu seem like your taking the long road. Look for the one click root thread. You have to downgrade first, if you didnt it would be specified right? Its to open up an exploit in order to install the recovery. You also dont have to use TELNET anymore.
If your device still has android 1.5 on it, you should be able to 1-click-root it directly.
By the time i first root it I was in 1.6 so i have to downgrade it.
However most tutorial that says to downgrade to 1.0 they always use telnet. And those rooting from 1.5 mostly use the flashrec.apk. For example Cyanogen Wiki uses telnet.
The question is can flashrec.apk be use in 1.0? I mean i find it the same as telnet. I mean i only have to write "flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img [enter]" while in flashrec I still have to write the directory where the file is or download it.
After that the recovery mode step is the same for both.
Last time i tried the flashrec.apk in 1.5(non-patch) it let me back up but each time i write the download page or directory where i download the recovery image the flash option is still gray out.
For few developers and hackers here at my place they find it long and complex compare to the iPhone that's why I was asking for an easier way. Not that I mind these step I can do it easily with telnet as it seems to work for me. Just for the record.
Hi,
I've been searching the forums for this, but haven't found any real answer, so I thought I'd open a new thread .
I've successfully rooted my stock N1. However I'm wondering, with my newly acquired root rights, would it be possible to flash a custom kernel on it without needing to use a custom ROM.
The reason I'm asking this is that I would like to use iptables for use with a transparant proxy. It seems that the stock kernel does not support this
Of course if anyone has a different approach for the proxy, feel free to let me know as well .
Thanks!
I was able to flash just the cyanogen kernel onto my FRF91.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
instructions?
Ok that is great news... did you encounter problems afterwards with any of the core components? what about some instructions on how to do this (or a link )
Thanks!
I haven't seen any problems with the stock components on the phone.
I can't find the thread I got this from to save my life! I don't know where you are in the process so here's the entire list of what I did:
Unlocked the bootloader using the fastbooot oem unlock command.
Flash Amon-Ra recovery for N1.
Reboot straight into recovery, Back up Stock ROM.
Flash Modaco's superboot for FRF91 from recovery
Flash Cyanogen's N1 Addons (which contains the kernel).
If you google update-nexusone-FRF91-cm-addons-signed.zip you'll see a bunch of downloads for the kernel update. The MD5 sum on the file I have is: 7cf8074d3685681728043f367e6b35fd
It goes without saying, but backup your phone before flashing...
Thanks
I actually rooted without unlocking the bootloader, and would prefer to keep it that way since I get to keep my warranty
I'll try this today, thanks a lot!
Tried it, failed
No worries though, just 'upgraded' to CM6 RC2
I'm on the Evo now but my lil bro has a Hero and wants to root. I rooted my Hero back in February and I just don't remember what is necessary. From my RSS feeds I heard about the "universal androot apk" from http://software2tech.com/2010/08/29...6-2-beta-5released-and-available-for-download
So he did that and he rebooted phone, all is normal. I told him to download busybox to test and it says he's rooted but NAND is not unlocked (tells me its just a partial root). How can I get him to a full root?
Also, I should probably know this by now, but can he flash Fresh2.4 without NAND unlocked?
here ya go...
NO @ partial root... and...
from CyanogenMOD Wiki...
It has been verified that the HTC Hero CDMA can be rooted using the Universal Androot method. This seems to work reliably if your Hero is running 2.27.651.5; however some users have reported problems with later releases of the software (2.27.651.6 and 2.27.651.7). In these cases you may need to revert back to the original 2.27.651.5 from Sprint -- this is the initial release of the Android 2.1 software for the Hero.
If you need to downgrade your phone from the .6 or .7 variations use the following steps (reference: theunlockr):
Locate the original Android 2.1 software released by Sprint. A google search using the terms: "RUU" and "2.27.651.5" should lead you in the correct direction. Download this software to your desktop/laptop computer.
Download and install HTC Sync on your computer.
Connect your Hero Handset to your computer using a USB cable (make sure your handset is at least 75% charged).
Run the 2.27.651.5 RUU on your computer. It will flash and update your handset with the original Android 2.1.
The steps in the Universal Androot should now work.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you need to flash custom recovery easiest way to do that is d/l rom manager from the market and flash it using that. So while your phone is rooted you just don't have a custom recovery.
The partial root is odd since I had never heard it before until hitting up the Evo forum since most of us on the Heros were able to root are phone and flash a custom recovery in a couple of steps I think the Evo first rooting method only allowed rooting but didn't allow for a custom recovery to be added until about a month after it was out, you still see alot fo the rooting method where you have to root the evo and the unlock nand. So technically it is fully rooted but only partially unlocked ( when people wer say half root I was like theres only rooted and not no such thing as half)
Google SuperOneClick. It works per the latest .7 update. Really good, and really easy.

I am new to android
Since the official 2.2 upgrade is released, I updated through Samsung kies mini without unrooting my stock rom 2.1
then I found the superuser icon vanished
I google it and tried Super One Click

...it said rooted but when i download rom manager...the first thing i did is to backup current rom...when i clicked ok for backup...it did nothing...then i tried to download some apps required root to see if it works...every apps required root (super manager, rom manager(appeared not responding for every options), root exploer, etc.) forced close...
i tried one click root for for all models as well...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742403
but i cant even launch the app by using window 7 32 bit...
i tried the alternative way suggest by other ppl by only double click the root 2.2.bat..it pushed an update.zip file to my phone but when i tried to reinstalll package..it failed and say E signature verification failure!?...
I even tried it on mac..but failed as well (i connected my phone and the software said it pushed the update.zip and boot into recovery mode but in fact nothing happening on my phone)
I did a factory reset and wondering how to root AT&T Captivate official 2.2
I'm having the same problem. I don't think any of those one click apps will work with 2.2 official, since they're all for 2.1. I tried all of them, and none of them worked. I'm getting the Atrix soon anyway, so I'm not gonna bother trying to root my Captivate anymore
Have you tried using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944418
i tested the KB1 froyo update and rooting via superoneclick just to see how it works. I had to reboot after rooting it though. Superuser was there but it didnt appear rooted. After rebooting, everything worked fine.
I'm back with Phoenix 5.2, which I recommend over the stock froyo update anyway.
Rooting 2.2
I had the same problem. What I found from searching around is that the recovery console in 2.2 is 3e. 3e fixed the loophole most of the rooting software goes after, so , no 2.2 won't root, at least not the same way 2.1 would.
I also upgraded to the leaked Froyo, but later on downgraded to 2.1 so that I could use the normal upgrade methods.
Enjoy !
Is it mean that AIO Captivate Toolbox is not working too?
If it is..then I wont try
been worried to make another factory reset
these threads are so common now.
use SuperOneClick. it works, but you cant use the PSNeuter method, you have to use the RAGE method.....look to the right of the buttons when you load it up, you will see what i am talking about
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?
