In fact thats a question that you also could have found information on by simply READING on the forum...So always use search first, whenever possible, avoids unnecessary post, second i am going to give u some points you can stick to. First of all I would root the phone (attention warranty voids) then install superuser and Busybox (you can find tutorials on that everywhere here) then install ROM Manager or soft similar to it, open the program, install ClockWorkManager, reboot to recovery system, backup, DONE!
As I said you also could have found that out on your own... And learning by doing is still better than not learning by copying
So i hope you manage to do it... also consider to have a look into this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111771

HAHA... As you can read above, he had problems with CWM and so I am now wondering how he managed to back it up, since it appeared that his strange japanese version doesn't work the same way with CMW as our OB does...

[Q] How to root nexus one 2.3.6 with locked boatloder

Hi guys
Can any one tell me how to root nexus one 2.3.6 ,i have locked boatloader.
zahid

Try SuperOneClick
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
or unlock the bootloader, fastboot custom recovery and flash ROM of choice.

Try this

Use this. I just rooted my stock 2.3.6 nexus using this method. Takes less then a minute once everything is downloaded. Just make sure to extract all the files into the same location as the adb.exe file. Usually its in android/platform-tools.
Good luck and let us know if you have any questions.
BTW it does not unlock you bootloader either!

Is that a compulsion that super one click must be in the same location as adb n sdk tools?
Cos i rooted my stock 2.3.3 using the same method last month
But had it in different directories c: n e:

You're good to go. Just install a custom recovery
CWM or Amon Ra, you can install them via Rom Manger.

hi
I tried to install custom ROM but when phone reboot it stuck on "triangle android" seems first i have to unlock my boatloader.
Can you post me link..

It means that you didn't flash the file that removes stock recovery reinstaller - and stock recovery is reinstalled on stock ROM boot.
Reboot back to ROM, root again, this time when you reboot to recovery first time, flash the file. It's found in Nexus One Wiki, section "Recovery".

Its not at all necessary to unlock the bootloader. Did u install custom recovery before flashing a custom rom? I think u skipped that step.
Simple and best way for starters like us is to
1.root via super one click root
2. Install rom manager from market and wid the help of that, flash clockworkmod(cwm) recovery.
3. Install Titanium backup from market and do a backup up of ur apps.
4. Choose the correct rom of ur choice by reading the OP and the thread.
5. Download it and install it via rom manager.
6. Before that back up your current rom and wipe the system,cache,dalvik cache.
Thats it, u r good to go. :thumbup:
This is how i did n doing good
PS: Am just a newbie, so if there's any mistakes in my steps pls correct me.

thanks Man its working,,,,,,
but i am little surprise i did the same like flashing clockworkmod(cwm) recovery first and then ROM..but it didnt work me at that time...strange... Anyways now its working i m now on MIUI ROM looks cool..
question,,, what the advantage of having boatloader unlock?and wat is its use...?

Does SuperOneClick works on Nexus One stock rom 2.3.6?

[warning] do not use rom manager.

Reading all those people saying that ROM Manager bricked their phone, I have decided to make a thread just so newbies will know not to use the stupid app...
Rom Manager will 100% BRICK your phone and you will have to claim your warranty or if they don't agree ... PAY OVER 50$!!!! Please DO NOT USE THIS APP OR IT WILL LEAD YOUR PHONE AND YOU TO DOOM!!!!!!!! !!
Use this to flash CWM recovery on your mini http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439751 . In the instructions it is given to flash through CWM but IT EVEN WORKS WITH STOCK RECOVERY!
PS: Please help me make this a sticky so n00bs can read it immediately. Thanks.

I've used it hundreds of times without any problems, the thing is, if you install a ROM that isn't for your phone it doesn't matter HOW you do it, it will still brick your phone.
You can use that flash recovery OR any other that works with the mini, what you can't do is try to flash an unsupported recovery and think it will work.
However, if you have Squads 5.0.2.8 installed, you can use Rom manager just fine, same if you have version 4.0.1.5 or 5.0.2.7 installed.

I think you never experienced a brick by installing cwm with rom manager
seriously why take risk when we can play safe by just pressing 4-5 buttons manually

Absolutely, DON'T install CWM through ROM manager, it IS however a great tool for other purposes.
It could have been really great if there were more devs supporting it but everyone wants their own tool. That is the problem with FLOSS as well as it's strength because as much as the GNU people hate it, one will come out on top.
Personally, i like the goo.inside.me tools, looks nice to me and that is one hell of a name LOL.

AGAIN, don't install CWM via ROM manager.
I've never experienced it because it say right on the page that it's not compatible.
WHY would i install anything that isn't compatible? Well i suppose i would if i wanted to brick my phone.
User errors blamed on devs.

[Q] Please help guys. pretty urgent.??

I rooted and unlocked the bootloader and now trying to flash CM10.1 on my sisters phone
But I am getting that Error some users have reported: "p880" || getprop ("ro.build.product") == "p880"
E:error in /external_sd/cm-10.1
I know this is to do with CWM. But even TWRP is saying failed. And I flashed CWM with the toolkit.
I was foolish enough not to backup the stock ROM. can someone tell me step by step how to solve this PLEASE? otherwise I will become the worst brother ever lol

please anyone? ..

fine ^^
flash kdz via kdz flash tool (tutorial is on sticky in general), root, install rom manager, install latest cwm, download cm and install it from cwm.

Possible solution
I was getting the same error while trying to install CM and I tried this (Used google), that worked for me.
You do this with 7-Zip/WinRAR
Note: DO NOT EXTRACT ROM!
In the ROM go to:
/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
1)Open updater-script with a script editor such as notepad/notepad++ (makes things 10x easier), or gedit if you use linux
2)Delete the first line of code (all the way up to the first semicolon you see) and delete the first semi-colon as well
Do not go past the first semicolon when deleteing and DO NOT forget to delete the first semicolon.
Cheers!
Now please stop posting this problem on everyone's ICS ROMs.....
Someone make this a sticky please

Bootloader flash dosnt work on ics.. You have to flash first the v20a again.. then bootloader unlock like the explanations here on generaly section.. Then flash the bootloader at fastboot or u install the rommanager app from playstore and let the app this work do.
Sorry for por english

Yup...downgrade to 4.2.2, root and also install recovery.Both 4.6.6 and 4.5.23...i'm even go to ur Miui forum to redownload the file but still same get bootloop wont boot...4.5.23 english and multi language also tried...if I select full wipe (in aroma),install till 40% than black out...(bootloop).The new 4.6.6, successfull install (if I select full wipe in aroma option, it happen same as 4.5.23)but the rom can't get root permission...showing system ui fc and the network operators showing wrong networking...if I reselect the network operators it show correct operators but the name just won't show the correct one that I had selected...
Ps:both before installing the rom i'm already full wipe the phone by myself coz if I select full wipe in aroma option it will cause bootloop...

I used 4.2.2 customised INDIA as base rom. I installed root then recovery. I flashed your 4.6.6 MIUI file. Did clean wipe in Aroma installer also. After the process ended the phone booted with sony logo then MIUI logo and then restarted again(bootloop)
***I will try this again in next 24 hours And will post the results here. Thanks for your work

If I'm not mistaken, if you're on locked bootloader you should first format system through recovery then install miui rom, it was the same way in locked Arc S

@sijav also if you are uploading your own 4.2.2 ftf can you please upload it on google drive?
It would be a great relief if you could upload all your further builds on google drive and share it here. Gives more 2mb/s speed so we could tell you instantaneously the build is flawless or not.

hi, @Joncat24 this is really strange! both things, network wrong? I'm not sure! everything is working here, system ui fc? you don't have root access? can you give me logcat? else I can't do anything because everything is working with me and I'm not sure about your problems so please give me logcat.
System will format on aroma before installing so you no need to do that!
alright here's my theory: I'm assuming that you all have tried with philz touch recovery, maybe the philz touch recovery is not good! (as you can't flash latest cm with it!!) please use ClockWorkMod (the vanilla recovery) from NDR Utils app and give me the results. it should work after that!
oh and forget everything about 4.2.2! I can't get access to my old 4.2.2 ftf file anymore! sorry I can't upload anything... and about uploading in google drive, well google drive has banned my whole account many times because many users have downloaded huge files. So I'm trying not to put anything on google drive. also my upload speed is less than 14 kbps so I'm not just posting things on net without testing it with every aspect myself! (As I hate to spend more than 1 day to upload it again) so even if you tell me that my build is broken even if I fixed it it makes me 2 days in avarage to upload both eng and multi rom into servers.

No problem. Going to try this with Vanilla CWM. If any one wants Google Drive FTF links I shall upload it for them.
Will post the result in three hours thanks sijav.
BTW which version of recovery? 6.0.4.5 right?

Result.
Result :
Flashed fresh 4.2.2 Customized India FTF. Installed SuperSU ROOT. Flashed XZDUALRECOVERY. Selected 6.0.48 CWM-Based recovery as told.
Selected the zip to be flashed. Selected Full Wipe in AROMA!
Installation started > Stopped at 1% > Device restarted and stopped at SONY LOGO.
I am on locked boot loader and I think that's what the problem is!
- NEW
Used PhilzTouch Recovery > INSTALL Complete.
I clean wiped then clicked on INSTALL NEW ROM, which again clean data, cache. Seems to work with one bug "ALL CHECK POINTS REACHED". It is not going from my Notifications menu!

C5502 with root (TowelRoot method), XZdualRecovery, stock 4.3 (waiting to go back down to 4.2.2 INDIA release again). Any hints on how to fix this? Am really interested in trying MIUI, but if Xperia ZL roms work perfectly, then i'd like to try one of those...if there's one as interesting as MIUI

Yes. Use PhilZ, don't select Everything Wipe in Aroma and try installing.
If possible try installing twice! mine worked at second instance!

damn! you were right,
formating data partition seems not a good idea in philz recovery!!
I'm gonna remove wipe in aroma and let users do it for next release OR find a way to remove things from data manually
