yes first rule is unlock bootloader...posts all around this forum
second is to install cwm recovery, without this u cannot root.
thirdly u need to flash the root.zip file in cwm to enable root itself. easy to do, check out this forum, ive added in some tutorials and guides to help u along the way

how to unlock bootloader
To unlock the bootloader when i visit htcdev.com and select my device,it says hboot update required...now what does that mean?

Exactly as it ssays, update your hboot.
Once updated u can unlock the bootloader. Its safe, we have all done it.
U will need your phone plugged into PC and on charge mode to do that.

can you elaborate on this? truer recovery's? we only have 2, I'm also assuming this is when adding recovery to the phone itself?
if you can get a photo or screenshot showing me it may help.

Sorry it was tryed a few recoveries. I have since manages to get root but now my hboot says main version is older and just wants me to reboot phone so can't.access recovery

You're hboot will be the latest. As for recovery we use 5.0.2.6 really. If its not letting you boot into recovery, tends to mean it's not installed correctly. Once recovery is there it can always be accessed. The root itself should have taken care of the basics and given u superuser access.
If u have working root. Go and install superSU from the market, its better. Works faster and has fewer problems. Just remember once u install it. Open the app and update the binary.
This should correct a load of root errors.
If u have to, reinstall recovery again. Could be a bad install.

Which hboot version do you have? When it is 1.08. then it is fine.
How did you flash your recovery? Maybe something went wrong in that step. The only working recoveries are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791707. Commonly used is the ClockworkMod Recovery and a description how to flash is also there.
Maybe do some photos of your screen to find out the problem.

Got root access just I can't I need to.get to hboot to install.recovery or.get to recovery Rom manager just takes me to the hboot screen where it says main version is older its bugging me

when you get to these screens post up your HBOOT version.
You cannot unlock your Bootloader without updating to HBOOT V1.08
right u don't need hboot to install recovery.
u need bootloader/fastboot to install recovery.
connect your cable. pc & phone
select charge option on phone
open a cmd prompt window (DOS)
now you need to follow the adb cmds.
myself i have it loaded as follows, change yours accordingly
c:/cd android-sdk
c:/cd platform-tools
adb reboot bootloader
if you cannot do this via cable then you require to remove the battery, reinsert, hold volume key down and power on.
select fastboot option.
this should take you to the bootloader
now if you have recovery placed in the correct folder ie platform-tools
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
this will install your recovery to your phone.

flashing a sense rom?

Hey can someone help me with this? My nexus is rooted and on stock 2.3.6. I tried downloading the cm7 r2 hboot for the runnymede sense rom but for some reason in recovery it will not flash that hboot. Im using clockworkmod recovery. What step am i missing to flash this hboot file so i can flash this rom? I downloaded the hboot file off of alpharev site. I even renamed the file PB99IMG.zip and also update.zip and both did not work in hboot mode and recovery. Any help would be great.

Have you installed Blackrose? You have to install Blackrose before you can flash an hboot.

How do I flash black rose? I'm actually new to the nexus one. I've had a few android phones but not this one. I actually got the sense rom to flash but it got stuck on the X screen with the unlock icon and it won't go past it? Is that because I don't have black rose? I believe I have the stock hboot.

are you trying this runny rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580873
if so, then you dont need blackrose. stock hboot is fine. but ext partition of 1GB is compulsory. before flashing the rom, did you flash alignment_cool provided in the first post ? better use 4ext recovery

I did flash the alignment cool zip file first and then the rom. I used amon ra recovery and clockwork mod. Both left me stuck. When I flashed the rom it took me to aroma installer and I tried stock hboot and used the regular method and custom method and neither worked. What am doing wrong? And about how long should I be stuck at the boot
Screen before it loads into the sense rom?

But did you partition to one GB or more? If I remember correctly alignment_cool is to change the partition from ext3 to ext4 (required). Sense ROMs take up a lot of room. The partition is for system and everything else (apps 'n stuff).
Or you could use EXT4 Recovery Touch,save yourself some trouble, partition your SD card to ext4 via the tools (highly recommended) and flash your ROM there.

CWM / RA Recovery and custom hboot

Hi,
I want to flash the Jelly-Bean-Rom of reider on my Nexus one. I am currently running on CM7.2 and have already installed 4ext-Recovery and Blackrose.
Afaikt are there problems with 4ext at the moment when you want to flash custom hboots on your NexusOne. So my question is, is it possible to just install CWM or RA-Recovery on my CM7.2 and flash the needed hboot afterwards? Do I need a special recovery?
I read many manuals how to flash a custom hboot etc. but I wasn't able to find a definitive answer, if I have to install Recovery again after upgrading hboot or not. _And_ if I need a special recovery.
Help is appreciated!

You don't need any special recovery if you flash the partition scheme via fastboot. How this works is explained in the Evervolv Jellybean Thread. Your recovery should be untouched by this procedure. Alternatively you can switch your recovery to use flashable zips from this thread, but it is not necessary.

Run or phone at normal mode. Connect USB to or phone open black rose there are options u can choose pick the one that resizes or hbot. :beer:

if you are flashing hboot via fastboot/blackrose then u dont need to change recovery.
if u want to change hboot via recovery(4ext) then follow this post and see if it helps. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30271020&postcount=124
and yes you can change to either cwm or amon n flash those hboots. cos it sometimes doesnt work wid 4ext...

1. Unlocking the bootloader is pretty much everything. Its required for flashing a recovery, flashing ROMs, u name it.
2. If you follow the guide i created, (and if i remember correctly) u shudnt need to unlock the bootloader again but it really shouldnt matter considering the fact that your phone has jsut been wiped and u should still have the unlock code HTC sent u for unlocking the bootloader.
3. Yes of course... If you do not have a recovery, then nothing will happen cuz theres nothing there....

OK, I'm going to have to step in here.
The OP states that he has S-OFF with everything else stock.
At this point, he can install a custom recovery and then flash any custom ROM he wants. He does not have unlock the bootloader or go through the downgrade procedure to gain S-OFF because he already has permanent S-OFF.

You need to flash a custom recovery such as 4EXT recovery or ClockworkMod recovery and that is the tool you use to flash custom ROMs.
Please check the sticky posts in this section on how to flash a custom recovery.

Lol Redux is the kernel used in Project_X_Rebirth and Sabsa Prime. The kernel is the one cuasing the multitouch so no, if you want a fixed multitouch kernel, then i would suggest hunterwu kernel.

Hey, once you flash RUU you dont need to flash stock recovery since it already exists
Seeing a red triangle in stock recovery is very obvious as you cant get into stock recovery
Infact thats why we need custom recovery!!!
You getting my point??!!
So do nothing mor
You are perfectly stock after RUU
Get sON if you want to so that you make your phone as it was on its first day

remember i dont know cwm and dont like this app type,maybe it's possible but better and funny way (more serious and polyvalent) is SDK
