rooting n1 with 2.3.6 - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I'm trying to follow this guys guide to rooting my n1.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300356
But his website appears to be down and there doesn't appear to be a mirror of his ROM anywhere that I can find. Any chance someone with permissions to post on the dev forums could ping him on his webpage or suggest a mirror somewhere?
UPDATE: 12/11/11
Bexton updated his post to contain another location for the zip file. Follow above link.

Hello. I sent you a PM.

I'm in the same situation, what to do?

The PM only contained a link to a YouTube of someone going through the whole process.
I unlocked the bootloader on my N1 already, and I just need the correct ROM to root the GRK39F firmware. I can get to the bexboot website on google cache. I just need the ROM.
I'll try PMing that bexton guy.

He got back to me and sent me the zip file. the instructions on his website which was available thorough google cache worked perfectly.

First of all, this question should not have been posed here.
Answer: There is nothing special that you need to do to your phone other than follow the installation instructions described in these ROM threads. It's just a matter of downloading files and put them in the root of the internal sd.
you really need to look at the FAQ. It's has EVERYTHING, you've search in the wrong section i'm afraid! Go to Q&A, it's all there, and then look at General to get you started.
Ok tnx for redirecting the thread.
But need i to root my phone before i flashin a custom rom ?

As I have mentioned earlier, you do not have to do anything prior to flashing a custom rom...just follow their installation instructions.

A successful root method from chinese forum!

A successful root method from chinese forum!
from: http://bbs.gfan.com/android-3604178-1-1.html
The only root method so far, is to exchange the recovery in v20B and install root tools through recovery.
step 1) copy Superuser.zip to the root directory in SD card.
step 2) shut down your OB, take out the battery, press volume + and plug the USB cable (which means enter the S/W mode)
Step 3) extract LGP970.7z and obtain v20.bin and v20v.fls files.
step 4) open B_SmartFlashTool_Extern.exe and select:
ROM copy D/L
cp:V20B.fls
ap:V20B.bin
select mode:normal mode
step 5) click start button to start flashing, all data in OB(sms, contacts, game records) won't be lossed.
After flash procedures, you will come to the recovery interface, then, select install zip from SDcard and choose the superuser.zip that you place before.
Reboot and you got the rooted 2.3.4
All files(superuser, LGP970.7z ) can be downloaded from here:
http://115.com/file/cl3smym3
(for someone who don't know chinese:
after you get into the site, you will see 3 color buttons at the middle
green, blue and red, the download link(grey button) is at the right of the red button)
We already know that...

No, as written in the threads linked by N00BY.
Please read before you post.
Nor the rooted V20b uploaded to the Chinese forum the Hong Kong stock ROM, as reported by some in their replies.
The "new" method posted on the Chinese forum is actually the one posted by SnegovikRZN on xda.
But the poster didn't give proper credit to the source.
The only thing you need, is ubuntu or other linux distributions, the bin files of your firmware (u can get em like this: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/cs_auth_model_check.jsp?esn=imei) replace IMEI, btw.
And this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22329293&postcount=106

Because the one post in xda is using v20B which is equally to the HongKong OB stock rom = v20B, so my question is , is that v20B is the HK's v20B ?

IT DOESNT MATTER which one it is, just download the bin file YOU need, and follow the guide then. Ask in the thread, which version it is. I cant answer this to you, since I am using a N version of GB. I already gave you the link, of how to get the right BIN files, via your IMEI, and if you couldnt get the official update yet, ask another one about it. Or simply try the ROM. It is rooted, so you can enter CWM quickly and also restore the previous version, if needed.

Thank you for your link, I get this sw_url:
but how can I download it?
I copy it to my browser but nothing appear. Thanks for your help

The request for the zip file that you get when making the request with a German IMEI always return a 404 (not found). I wonder where has the user SnegovikRZN taken them from.
Ok, sorry then, I thought LG already released the bin files. I've been wrong there it seems.
Idk where he got em from. Maybe ask him via PM or in his thread.

if I get the file from this:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/ezls/...IN_LGP970AT-00-V20b-454-XXX-DEC-31-2011+0.zip
Is that I can directly flash the bin file(extract from the above link) by smartflash?
Yes, you can flash the with Smart Flash, just as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22304591&postcount=91 (of course by replacing the names of the fls/bin file with your own).
I would have one request from you, I am not able to download that zip from LG, but if you can, can you please share it somewhere ? I would like to have that in case that i have to bring the telephone back to the shop for warranty - it's a "just in case" scenario .

ok, if I can get the zip file from LG, I will post here
ok, I will post it if I know how to download the zip from LG

Restore to factory state.

I Would like to sell my moto G2 and for that I would like to revert all my changes I've made.
I've installed a custom recovery and rooted my Phone.
I'm still running Android 4.4.4 and would then like to upgrade to 5.x.
I've found some posts on the matter, but I didn't find a clear step by step solution.
I always prefer it if I have very detailed instructions when playing around with my phone as I don't regularly flash roms etc and don't want to make any mistakes.
If some one would be so helpful and give me a stet by step instruction on what I have to do (backup, stock rom etc)
Thanks for the help.

I'm terribly sorry for replying to your post even though you asked me not to, but I don't know which thread you ment by the 4.4.4 Android thread ( I'm not a regular here).
While trying to make a nandroid backup I ran into some trouble.
I seem to have a folder on my sd card /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox which seems to be corrupted in some form.
I tried to delete it via Terminal and root, I tried deleting it via the recovery.
I tried reinstalling firefox, which throws me the error 24, so I unlinked my google account and relinked it and tried to install firefox again but that didn't help.
I'm running out of ideas here.
Thanks for the help.

G925VVRS4CPI2 official OTA zip file?

I'm looking to find the official update zip (flash able through stock recovery) for that particular build.
Does anyone happen to have it, or know of a link to it? I've looked around and all the OTA zips I've found are too old.
Please around and thanks.

Well, better late than never. I am sure you found it by now. However, a quick search on duckduckgo.com with the terms "verizon stock firmware +s6 +edge" results in many possible sources. Feel free to add the build number you are looking for. Here is a site I trust (also happens to be the second search result next to xda-developers.com ).
http://www.galaxys6edgeupdate.com/galaxy-s6-edge-stock-firmware/
Scroll down almost halfway down the page (passing T-Mobile, Sprint and AT&T) and there you have it.
Good to know. Thanks.

Thanks to the thread below, I was able to snoop around and found another source for you.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...25vvrs4dqd1-odin-nougat-7-0-firmware-t3597591
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=312978532265361703
Yeah I might just need those Nougat fw files. I store a lot of stuff offline.
I know, double post, but my problem now is that I uploaded the ODIN PI2 package originally WITHOUT the HOME_CSC file. The original package came with both Home and Carrier CSC files. To complete the work, we need the HOME_CSC file for PI2, to upgrade from PH1.
And back in the day a few of my files from GDrive for the G925V got deleted because of others. A couple files I can't get back now because that was my last backup.

Magisk, TWRP download with snapdragon/cortex?

I couldn't find a tutorial for my Kyocera, neither for snapdragon/cortex. How do I download Magisk for my device?

It is as easy as clicking a link... There are no special versions provided for different devices/architectures.
Everything you need should be here:

Don't patronize me. I couldn't find a way to do it. When I tried downloading both the file and the manager, the manager had a tutorial specifically about devices, and at one point said to download TWRP.
Please walk me through it. Sending me back to the page isn't helpful whatsoever.

Not trying to be patronising, it's just that generally it is that simple...
I don't know what tutorial you've been using, but any officialy available instructions aren't device specific.
And I am actually going to point you back to that page I linked previously because the step by step instructions for installation are right there, under "Instructions" (contents hidden on a normal browser, no idea how it looks in any of the forum apps).
If you're having problems with those instructions I would advice you to be more specific as to what those problems are. Much easier to help that way...
OP: How to download
D: Follow these instructions
OP: Don't patronize me
LMAO

The instructions on that thread that's linked will walk you through installation. You need to download TWRP, or some custom recovery. Generally, Magisk installation for the first time is downloading the zip file, booting into your custom recovery, installing the zip, and going on your way. The question, at first, would be: Are you already running a custom recovery, or is your phone stock recovery?
