Fixed Nexus but Cannot Root - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Got my phone back from HTC with power button repaired. Happy days. Or so i thought...
Now I have stock 2.3.4 GRJ22 installed, and want to root so I can get back to CM7. However I don't want to unlock the bootloader.
I've tried downloading previous PASSIMG and trying to flash them to downgrade to exploitable versions.
However all I keep getting is failed, main version is older.
It would seem to be impossible to accomplish at this point in time. Any suggestions (apart from unlocking the bootloader)??

To be honest, it was nice not having to jump through loops to get the phone rooted. I just did the fastboot OEM unlock. Then flash your custom recovery then flash the rom of your choice. I am way out of warranty so unlocking the bootloader was nice. Regarding your issue, I have no idea.

Yes it's tempting to unlock the bootloader. However I still have warranty and don't want to muddy the waters in that respect.
Do I have no other choice than to sit and wait for a new exploit then?

Cheers for the reply . I did try that one last night, but still got the error message. Will try it again later when I'm on wifi just to be doubly sure.
If anyone else has more suggestions then please let me know

Tried that version again, but no joy. Still getting the error main version is newer. Damn!

I didn't read through that thread, but maybe there is even a newer one further in there. Did you see if there were any other links in that thread?

Hmm, looks like that won't work.
My phone which has GRJ22 2.3.4 is MainVer: 3.10.1700.1
The passimg on that thread has MainVer: 2.18.1700.1
I've read the full thread and there's nothing else there.
Thanks for offering the advice nonetheless

Yeah the only choice you have once you are on 3.10.1700.1-GRJ22 is to unlock the bootloader.

[Q] Revert to 2.2 from 2.3.3?

Is there any way for me to downgrade from 2.3.3 back to an earlier froyo build? Its kinda laggy for me and I want CM7 back, but I'm unrooted and on official 2.3.3. Can I use the passimg.zip trick? If so, which passimg do I need? Thanks in advance.
You can grab it from developer.htc.com
So do I just take the latest version (FRF91) rename it passimg.zip and it will work? I don't want to unlock the boot loader...
Well, after putting it on the root of the SDcard, all that happens is that it checks it and then goes back to the fastboot/hboot screen, not telling me anything...
Not named passimg.zip.zip by any chance is it?
PASSIMG might not downgrade you. You can try, though. There is a post that says FRG33 is still flashable.
Root, install custom recovery, flash what you want.
If you can't root without unlocking the bootloader - then I guess you're out of options.

Yeah, but on my Nexus One with 0.35.0017 HBOOT I can confirm it's not flashing, only giving me a message that Main Version is older!
Not a big deal, I'll have to root it with rageagainstthecage when he finally releases Gingerbreak I guess...
Does HBOOT affect what can be flashed by PASSIMG? And also, is FRG33 the only image that is flashable by this? Maybe I could try another image?
Yes, HBOOT is one of the things that are checked and thus affects "flashability".
This is what unlocking the bootloader is good for.
I updated to stock 2.3.3. Lost my root so I grabbed the frg33 update, renamed it to passing.zip and flashed it through bootloader. Took 2 mins. then used super one click to root and then flashed clockwork mod and then just flashed whatever rom I wanted.

That's almost certainly because yours is PASSIMG.ZIP.ZIP instead of PASSIMG.ZIP. You named it wrong.

Yes, if you could upload the EXACT SAME one that worked for you, pre-named and everything it would be a HUGE help. I've downloaded from 10 different mirrors, and either I get an error or it skips when it's supposed to prompt for flashing.

I renamed that to PASSIMG and put it in the root of my SD card and went to the bootloader. During the checks it found that file, loaded it and then asked if I wanted to install. Hopefully it works for you too.

[Q] Install AT&T OTA Update with unlocked bootloader?

So I'm wanting to install the OTA ICS update but it fails and I get the little red exclamation point when I try.. I am assuming this is because my bootloader is unlocked? I've been trying to find a way to install it but the only one I found was one requiring S-OFF which I don't have..
So basically my question is can I install ICS on my rooted unlocked bootloader?
If absolutely necessary I can always lock it, install, then re unlock it but that's such a pain.. AT&T gets on my nerves sometimes..
I am almost positive that you have to do the re-lock process unless somehow they found another way. You should probably read around next time. Most likely, someone has already asked your question.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
I've read quite a few threads but haven't been able to find anything.. and like I said, I did find one but it requires S-OFF and the juniper thing, or whatever to lazy to look up the name right now lol, is not released yet.. and I haven't been able to find another way to get S-OFF..
If you want ics that bad you have to do it like every one else here...there is no reason to whine cause your to lazy to relock the bootloader ..it take all of about three mins for me to relock mine ... and about 20 min to do the whole process...you don't need s off to get ics if your using the vivid or velocity. there's no place for lazy people here so please just do it like ever one else or do with out
I'm fully aware you don't NEED S-OFF to get ICS its the only way I have found to do it with an unlocked bootloader if you even bothered to read my post. And if your going to be rude and unhelpful stay out of my thread, people like you are why forums loose members. I simply asked a question I never said I was lazy and wouldn't do it I was simply looking for an easier alternative.
The S-OFF is obviously a mistake, because if it was S-OFF then you wouldn't have to do fastboot oem lock.
Yes, you have to relock the bootloader. Make sure you kept your unlock_code.bin or else you might not be able to unlock the bootloader again.
To be extra safe you should flash stock recovery before you do anything.
Quick question going along with this, it may be stupid, I just wanted to make sure before I try anything: I'm currently on RumRaider and I want to switch to ICS. If I were to revert to stock and relock and then do the OTA update to ICS from AT&T, can I still get root with the same zergrush application or whatever that I used before?

Thanks for the help guys. I relocked the bootloader and ran the RUU, then did the OTA. After that I used the noob proof tool thing in the dev forums and installed the WCX recovery and then rooted with the same tool as well. Currently typing on it, and loving it!

Nice! Wish I found that earlier, right now I am probably going to use WhildChilds ROM since he has put so much into it and over clocked the kernel..

Someone has to be stupid and that I am!

Before you guys jump on me, I would like to apologize for just being dumb. Even though that is the truth, may I have some help?
I didn't read the guide on turning the S-Off on my Vivid, I thought all I had to do was run the hason s-off and it would automatically do everything for me. Yeah, I didn't even know about a wire trick (I've already admitted the obvious). My Vivid just boots to the JoupunutBear screen and reboots after about 3 minutes to the same screen. I guess I've bricked my device!:crying:
Is it possible for HTC to remotely restore my Vivid, or do I have to take it to an authorized dealer that repair phones? If so, how much am I looking at? I wished I had left my phone alone, but doing some of the crazy wild and exciting stuff for phones is so cool! I wish I had read that I needed to pin mod something, or else I would not have tried to do S-Off! I just got my phone a few days ago in a trade for my HTC Shift.
I guess this will be an expensive lesson and hopefully I'll read and not think every procedure for different phones are the same.
I miss my Vivid!:crying:

Any tips on which recovery I should use? Preferably with guide, my nerves are a bit tweaked right now.
OK, I just relocked...now what?
Downloaded AT&T stock ROM, downloaded AT&T PH39img. I guess now I'm suppose to place both files on SD card and use HBOOT?
Follow the guide in my signature titled "back to stock" (I think its step 6). Then if you want to re root or whatever follow the guide in my signature steps 1-4.

I have to download the RUU and not use the AT&Tzip I've already have downloaded. Seems straight forward, I'll reply back, thanks!
Since I have some time before the RUU finishes downloading, I tried to reflash factory rom using the second method. When I reboot into recovery, it does load the PG file, but it doesn't give me an option to flash anything?
Just a heads up...for me ruu never worked with a unlocked bootloader so if it doesn't work relock your bootloader with the super tool thing in he dev section...just boot into fastboot from hboot and click relock bootloader, then boot back to fastboot and run the ruu

The beginning of step 6 requires you to relock the bootloader. Otherwise, the RUU or PH zip will not work.

Man this download is taking long, I still have 15 percent to go (6 minutes)!
I guess I have to have the RUU for any of this to work, so I'll stop playing around with it before I render the device useless. So I'll be patient since I have 5 minutes to go, then I should be able to perform any of the two methods found in the guide. I'm so glad there are so many here to help me, I love you guys! Don't be too flattered, I love my Vivid more! Once this is done, I'll thank each and every one of you!

It should work if you re-locked your bootloader... So that isn't the problem. Maybe somewhere during you trying to S-OFF you still managed to change the HBOOT to the unofficial one. If so, then the RUU or PH zip will both probably not work. Somehow you need to get back to the stock HBOOT. You might need to ask in the Juoponut bear thread or contact them directly.

You can't update via OTA if you have a custom recovery and rom, you need to go back to stock if you want to do so

I don't believe the OTA update is going to help you at all. Here's what I would do. The factory RUU (ROM Update Utility) that HTC provides is an executable that you run from your Windows PC (XP preferred). You don't have to load it to the phone - your phone just has to be connected.
A couple questions before we begin:
1 - Which phone did you get? DEV 64 - AT&T, Sprint, or T-Mobile?
2 - Do you want to save anything on that phone?
If no to 2, just continue. But if you want to save anything you'll need to use either Titanium Backup or Go Backup & Restore Pro (my favorite). Back up to the cloud or copy your backed up items off your phone if you wish to keep them because you're about to wipe it clean.
You can find the RUU for the DEV unit here - http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads. You may need to register at htcdev.com to access this page. But here you'll find a list of downloads - some are CRC (kernel source code) and one is RUU (WWE stands for World Wide Edition). Download that to your PC.
Not sure if this is necessary, but I would boot to recovery and wipe data/factory reset my phone. This will erase anything that you have on it. I'd also wipe the cache and davlik.
Next once the RUU is downloaded and you're sure you've backed up EVERYTHING you want to keep, double click on the RUU. It should be cake from there. It'll restore your One back to factory standards and you should be able to send this puppy back.:highfive:

Also, if you bought the unlocked version from HTC like I did then you're fine with having it factory unlocked with an unlocked bootloader. You don't need to re-lock that.
By the way, here's a graphic of the file you'll want to download and run on your computer when you're ready to restore the phone.

Ok, I don't think so. Sorry. The RUU appears to be for the Dev edition only. That was the mistake I made and I completely hosed my previous phone. I see the one that you bought here: http://shopamerica.htc.com/cell-phones/productdetail.htm?prId=41589
Until HTC releases an RUU for that device we can't go that route.
The only other route would be to flash the stock ROM to your phone at the link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752
Follow the instructions. You'll end up adb flashing the stock boot.img and stock recovery back to your phone. Those files are discussed in the first post.
It's a little more work, but this is the kind of stuff that I love staying up late for. Good luck and sorry we couldn't do it with an RUU.

Let us know how you make out with this.

Ok, I don't think so. Sorry. The RUU appears to be for the Dev edition only. That was the mistake I made and I completely hosed my previous phone. I see the one that you bought here: http://shopamerica.htc.com/cell-phones/productdetail.htm?prId=41589
Until HTC releases an RUU for that device we can't go that route.
The only other route would be to flash the stock ROM to your phone at the link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752
Follow the instructions. You'll end up adb flashing the stock boot.img and stock recovery back to your phone. Those files are discussed in the first post.

So I successfully flashed ARHD 9.2 and it is running flawless...oh and BTW, after buying my wife the SGS4 and playing with it, I decided to keep my HTC One...way better performance with 0 lag...using optimized stock ROM...Thanks guys.:good:

August update?

Does anyone else have a stock unrooted one that has come up with an update in the past day or two? My wife's says there is an update available(she is on 1.08.x.x). Just wondering what the update is for.

I just got the update notice this morning. I'll do what I can to capture the update zip since it's not going to install correctly with CWM.

Trying to update and this is what I get

Haven't looked at the zip yet, but I found it at /cache/fumo/OTAPkg.zip and it was dated today.

Edit: just took a peek at it, and it looks like it's mostly patching files in system, rather than flashing an all new system image. But the new version looks like it's "1.08.502.4".
i got a update notice 2 days ago but i already have twrp recovery and couldnt update with that recovery.
My wife's is not unlocked yet hopefully this isn't Att blocking the unlock process. Because the thing is just going to do it probably before I get a chance tonight. But I wouldn't put it past them. They have been trying to get HTC to exclude our Att phones from dev unlock since HTC put up the site...

I will go back stock and check it out...
Was still able to unlock. But not sure if they have patched for s-off... Haven't tried to do that(the wifes phone and she doesn't want me to do s-off).

according to s-off crew, moonshine is most likely blocked with this OTA. There is a possible workaround and I will be doing the procedure this weekend and posting up a tutorial if it works.
If I am unlocked, rooted and have s-off can i safely take the update? It automatically started downloading on my phone and the only thing I can do to stop it is turn off all data.
A prompt response is highly appreciated, thank you.

If you have a custom recovery(and why wouldn't you?) then you have nothing to worry about. It won't update with a custom recovery. It will just fail and that's it.

Question on the s-off front. My wife had to take the update before I could stop it but she doesn't want s-off anyway. My question is if it is needed for anything I would want to do... Such as running a 4.2.2 Sense 5 port from the htc mini... I have the htc one and I know that there was no real good reason for s-off(i did it anyway of course...) but I also know each phone is a little different. So thus my question... Sorry if this is too noobish...

no. fastboot flash boot boot.img solves all problems. but s-off is non-destructive on the data so if you want to give it a try and report back it would be appreciated. It would save me time this weekend.
But I understand its the wife's. My wife won't let me touch her phones after the first 4 hours....lol

Ok thanks for the info. She let me unlock it and try flashing my failed port rom... But when I was debating whether I indeed wanted to s-off my ONE I might have inadvertently mentioned that there are risks when your s-off. And now she wants no part of it(no faith!!!!). Lol

i installed the update and S-Off stayed, however if i try to unlock my bootloader the phone will go into a boot loop.
I unlocked the bootloader, installed cmw in fastboot usb mode, flashed the superuser then relocked the bootloader and everything worked fine. I installed the awesome beats package too without having to unlock the boot loader.

Yes this is a bug with s-off. Not just the aftermarket s-off. This is even happening with factory s-off devices. Not really sure what is causing it. Sometime I will sit down and try to get a dmesg and logcat of it to determine what is going on.
Sent from my HTC first using Tapatalk 2
Has anyone tried doing the s-off after the latest update this month? Just curious if it still works or if the update patched the exploit.

I haven't had a chance to check yet. I will he checking though. The s-off guys think it was patched.
