[Q] Help flashing blackrose hboot - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So this has been mind breaking for me. I failed to flash the blackrose hboot everytime i trie and on every rom. It gets to the point where it has sent it files and then it says <waiting for device>. This happens on stock, BuglessBeast, rcadsmixhd 2.3 & 1.6 and hypersense (i like sense ). Anyone has any advice . Btw it did not brick it.

the problem your having isn't actually related to which rom your using on your phone. its that its not being detected as an adb device. you need to make sure that your drivers are installed and you see it in device manager as an ADB interface under Android Phone.

Ehm, usb debugging is enabled and detected by the software at first. It gets to the point that it sends its hboot and after that it says something like error: deviceoffline and then stuck on waiting for device forever.

it could be that another program like PDAnet is interfering.
do you use any other programs on your PC that would use adb?

well maybe htc sync but that was closed and its process was killed by taskmanager. No other programs i can think of.

well if your drivers are fine and there is nothing causing some form of interruption then. its probably an issue coming from the phone.
since you've tried it with so many different roms am guessing you didnt bother running/installing any apps
try it without the SD card inserted maybe.
thinking i should try and see if i can't replicate your issue find out what the issue is.

SO without my sd card it did not make any difference, apart from that it now mixes the message: adb server is out of date. Killing... and then waiting for device again.

the first time i installed blackrose i didn't use this method but maybe you can try flashing the hboot manually, which is what i normally do now, find it more straight forward.
[edit]
is your bootloader unlock?

Ehm obviously yes how i can flash roms other wise? How do i flash this hboot then. BTW i have slcd nexesus one phone if that matters

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1270589
download the manual version zip file from there. the instructions are contained inside the zip.
he removed the caution about slcd N1's so i think that shouldn't be a problem anymore.

You can easily flash ROMs without unlocking the bootloader. All that is required is to root the original OS and install a custom recovery using a program like ROM Manager.
But I believe the phone is detected differently when in fastboot mode. Did you verify that the phone is still properly recognized in device manager when in fastboot mode?
What happens if you put the device into fastboot mode (holding the trackball when powering on) and you type fastboot devices at your command prompt?

Awesome.
Glad to help ^_^

Not directly related but I had to use BREditor and create a new hboot with the 200/16/220 layout and flash that. I just could not get the ICS roms to flash otherwise... strange...

ICS is too big for the stock ROM space on the N1, so you need to make those alterations so it can fit. texasice did make a striped down version that works on stock though.

If you are like me, you have been flashing ROMS on your phone for years before you ever unlocked the bootloader. I didn't do it until about 6 months ago because I needed to flash Blackrose. Also, don't bite the hand that is trying to feed you.

Rooting NEXUS 1 - "Waiting for device"

Hi! I am unlocked my nexus one and now tried to root it.
I tried with Win XP and Win 7 with the same result.
I can see the device. If i go to the command promt and enter
"adb devices" it shows me the serial - So, usb is not the problem.
I also successfully unlocked it the same way.
Dev. Mode USB is also activated.
As soon I try to root it i.e. with superboot, Android SDK etc. I get the message
"waiting for device" (stays there for ever)
also when I want to lock the device again - same result.
Something must have happened preventing me to access the phone.
Also did a hard reset - without success.
Bottemline I am STUCK. The phone works, but no root .
Versions: ERE27 with 2.1update1
Someone an idea?
Thanks
Try a different USB Port. You can't relock the device.

I think this may qualify for post of the year!
Anyways, why are you even trying to root the stock ROM? Flash a custom ROM, already rooted, with the high memory kernel. As great as the stock ROM is, rooting really doesn't do anything unless you want to mess with the stock ROM... but that is like buying a V8 conversion for a Fiat, then only running 4 of the 8 cylinders.

Out of all the people that basically implied, or thought, what I said you - had to have a 'comeback' to me.. guess its because I said "hahaha," and "lol". If we really could re-lock the bootloader though... i'd be all over that..

I had this problem yesterday (my first ever ROM flash!). I'm sure you didn't make this mistake, but my phone had to be on the boot (white) screen before it was recognized. When the phone was turned on normally, or off normally, I got the "Waiting for device" message.
FYI: I'm using Linux Fedora Core 12 on my PC.
Just had this problem. Jade this stupid mistake of not doing it while on the bootloader screen.

[GUIDE] One Click How to Root the Incredible with Unrevoked 3.21

I first want to thank everyone at UnrEVOked for what they've done. I'm posting this because the UnrEVOked post doesn't really give any instructions. Its an easy enough root, but I know I've been there before and even the simplest things can be tough if things aren't laid out. So here's a step by step tutorial.
Due to some bugs, Unrevoked 3.2 was taken down shortly after being released, but the updated version is now LIVE! So obviously we're going to bring you a video tutorial on how to do it! Thanks to the guys at Unrevoked for giving us this simple solution to rooting the Droid Incredible.
LINK TO VIDEO WALKTHROUGH FOR HOW TO ROOT THE DROID INCREDIBLE
◄●REQUIRED DOWNLOADS●►
EVERYONE: Unrevoked3. Download the version for your OS.
WINDOWS USERS: unrEVOked modified USB driver
◄●How to Install HBOOT Drivers (Windows Users ONLY)●►
If you're using Windows, you're going to have to install the HBOOT drivers first. You can follow this video tutorial:
How to Install HBOOT Drivers
and follow along with these written instructions provided by the Unrevoked team:
Download the unrEVOked modified USB driver and expand it somewhere you will remember.
Turn off your phone, then boot it into the HBOOT menu by holding power and volume down.
On your phone, you will have to select HBOOT USB at that menu by pressing volume down four times, then power. Wait until the screen flashes through an “SD Checking” message before pressing buttons; otherwise, the phone will ignore keypresses.
Connect the phone to your Windows machine with a USB cable and wait for the phone to say HBOOT USB PLUG on screen.
Open Device Manager.
Click Start, then right click on Computer, then click Properties, then click Device Manager.
Under Other devices, you should now see the Android 1.0 device.
Right click on Android 1.0 and click Update Driver Software:
Click on Browse my computer for driver software.
Click on Browse and select the Android USB Driver folder on on your computer, click ok, then click next.
You should get a status bar indicating that the driver is installing. If you get any warnings, just click Ok.
Your driver should install.
Click Close and make sure Android Bootloader Interface is listed under Android Phone.
◄●Instructions●►
Make sure you downloaded Unrevoked3 for your OS.
If you're on Windows, make sure you "uninstall HTC Sync or any other program that might talk to the phone over USB (doubletwist, etc). They will cause problems" (Unrevoked.com).
Plug your phone into your computer with USB.
Drag down from the notification bar on your phone and select "Charge Only" and "Remember this"
Make sure your phone has USB Debugging turned on by going to Menu>>Settings>>Applications>>Development and checking USB debugging.
Run the Reflash application that you downloaded.
Unrevoked will run its processes. Follow the few instructions it gives and thats it!
You're now rooted!
PS - Others have asked elsewhere if it flashes a custom recovery. Yes, it flashes Clockwork
Be sure to wait for S-OFF to install before unplugging phone!

Thanks for reporting that
thanks, one question, maybe more later.
after this is done, then what. do i really need to do anything else. is this where the fun begins, like i really only want to remove the bloatware. but if i want, can i just leave it rooted and do nothing with it. i am a total noobie and even this "one click" thing has me scared and confused. thanks for the post.
Once you're done, you can remove bloatware. And yes, if you so choose, you can do nothing at all

Thats odd, but you should be able to just flash a custom recovery separately. Did ROM Manager ask to install clockwork recovery?

Is it normal that you need to press the power at the right time 2ce?
I managed to get past the first by some pretty stupid method which I'm not going to make public if I'm not sure that it works (cause it's pretty risky)
But that same method doesn't work the second time in step 2/3.
Or isn't it supposed to ask for that a 2nd time?
So I had to pull my battery out in the 2nd step and it showed a message that it was unable to flash the HBoot but luckily the old was still intact.
S-OFF on first try
I used unetbootin to make a usb boot pen, then boot into tiny core, followed instructions and S-OFF

[Q] Accidentally installed GSM ROM on CDMA Sprint HTC One

A couple of days ago I thought it would be a GREAT idea to install a GSM ROM (Android Revolution HD) on my Sprint HTC One. I am now able to go into the recovery and flash a different ROM, but the ROM will boot up but shut down several seconds after reaching the home screen. I have been told that using an RUU might help, but will that work even if my computer doesn't recognize my phone as a USB device? All help is appreciated

Maybe you screwed your radio but i'm not sure this is the answer to your problems... To be able to run a RUU your pc MUST recognize your phone in fastboot mode.
I repaired a friends device that did the same thing. When it boots you will see a lock screen with no wallpaper and then it will shutdown.

There's nothing special about an RUU, it's just a self extracting archive that uses fastboot to flash stuff.
It can be done by hand, such as with a nandroid backup.

If you have S-OFF it will...
These instructions are for the Sprint variant only
You will need to be unlocked and have twrp installed for this to work (I'm posting this here because of my work schedule if you need further assistance PM back hopefully you and Matt can get it working )
1. Follow this guide Guide - Get s-off on 1.31 HTC One (Sprint) Update:
You will get a failed warning after issuing the echo blah blah command this is normal and nothing to be worried about and after the echo command type exit to exit the adb shell and continue.
2. Get the RUU here click the first link in the thread(extract it to your desktop/open it and click setup it will scan your device,go thru the various screens reading the warnings and checking the boxes, once it starts it will take 10-20 minutes to complete) once it's done you will be back to completely stock.
Optional:
Use revone to gain s-off (if you go with this option once you are s-off you won't need to use HTC-Dev to unlock your bootloader because revone does it for you) A sidenote about revone it will fail several times just press the UP arrow on your keyboard to issue the same command and press enter.Watch the cmd window for instructions to reboot and continue.
or flash a Sprint rom from the Sprint forum
Any other questions or concerns post here or PM me
Good Luck

1. Follow this guide Guide - Get s-off on 1.31 HTC One (Sprint) Update:
You will get a failed warning after issuing the echo blah blah command this is normal and nothing to be worried about and after the echo command type exit to exit the adb shell and continue.
2. Get the RUU here click the first link in the thread(extract it to your desktop/open it and click setup it will scan your device,go thru the various screens reading the warnings and checking the boxes, once it starts it will take 10-20 minutes to complete) once it's done you will be back to completely stock.
Optional:
Use revone to gain s-off (if you go with this option once you are s-off you won't need to use HTC-Dev to unlock your bootloader because revone does it for you) A sidenote about revone it will fail several times just press the UP arrow on your keyboard to issue the same command and press enter.Watch the cmd window for instructions to reboot and continue.
or flash a Sprint rom from the Sprint forum
Any other questions or concerns post here or PM me
Good Luck

1. I believe our bootloader is locked, I don't think safe strap is necessary just make a backup before you flash anything too risky
2. For the custom recovery this method seems to work the best http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670 it also explains #1 better. You can also flash Clockwork Recovery the difference is mainly personal preference. To get the latest TWRP on you'll need to flash the .img then when it's all set up flash the .zip.
3. For the failed efs partitions here's a link to back that up (I had no idea that was a problem). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451390 I only used this when I flashed a different radio, also the only brick that I know of is with FreeGee on 12b but that's the lazy way and who knows maybe he fixed it.
4. ROM's will usually tell you what is compatible and what isn't, if you have the latest TWRP or CRP you should be fine on 12b just read the instructions and scan the comments for issues.
Glad I could help
Thanks!
