Is anyone almost done with an easy way for the general user to root 2.2? 2.2 is awesome, but I don't want to swap Kernels or do any of that other advanced stuff..
1. Flash to stock
2. Install Rom Manager
3. Flash Cognition with Rom Manager
4. Done!

Hey all,
I am at the Stock ROM, step 1. But when I install ROM Mgr is states that I must be rooted to use.
As I read this thread, I need to be rooted to move to step 2. The whole idea of moving through these steps is to root my phone.
Am I missing something? Thanks...

just use one of the dozens of 'one click' roots that are found all over these forums....
Yes you can call me out. I deserve it.
But in my defense i tried everything and was at my wits end.
That said, i gave up too early. I tried one more time and just went to bed. When i got up i had 2.2. I dont know if it was Santa Claus or the Android Fairy and i dont care. It works.
Now i have the horrible lag issue and a Quadrant score of 950.
And now i have to face updating again and it spooks me.
Noobs, read the threads that deal with Froyo 2.2 and rooting. All the information is there. I am still a noob as are many others on the site, but with a little bit of reading and asking questions in those specific threads will get you far.
ok so many dumb questions:
I have ROM manager downloaded but it wont do anything because i cant do the Clockwork deal because my SD card is not mounted. I dont have a removable SD card but i do have one ordered and on the way. Does this mean i cant put Cognition on my phone using Rom Manager?

It doesn't matter if you have an external sd card. You must have USB debugging checked(applications - development)
Are you rooted?
Yeah thats the other thing. I am not rooted.
And i know there are a tonne of one-click root deals out there but what is the best and easiest method for 2.2?
Rooting is the part i dont know.

cognition is a rom by itself. if you want to use it, you need to flash back to stock using the odin one click restore to stock and then root it, run rom manager clockwork recovery mode, then install cognition from clockwork recovery mode.
there is no way to go from 2.2 to any version of cognition without flashing the kernel back to stock
the easiest method to do this is to just flash the whole phone back to stock.

the 2.2 one click root that you find on these forums will not work. it was designed for an older version of froyo on the i9000
So, I've upgraded my Nexus One with the OTA from Google and I've lost root, is it anyway to root my device again? I want my crack back!! preferably without unlocking the bootloader, something like universal androot, or z4 root (none of them work, at least market versions), thx for your answers

I guess the only way is to unlock the bootloader. Why do you want it locked anyways? I guess your warranty is long gone + HTC doesn't check the unlocked bootloader as far as i know.
After unlocking you can install a custom recovery and use su.zip ( its there in the android dev section ) and flash it.

In guess I'll havce to unlock my bootloader then but I havent done it before so im kind of scared, just find it way more complicated doing it that way that whit the mentioned exploits, like universal androot: click root, install room manager, enjoy
You're kidding right? It takes 30 seconds to unlock the bootloader, install a custom recovery, and another minute to install a custom ROM and reboot. I had mine done as soon as I took it out of the shipping box.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER. All you have to do is roll back to a build of Froyo. Search for PASSIMG.zip. Apply that through the bootloader. Then you can root using Super One Click or any of the other methods and flash a rooted GB ROM.

I think I can make it in less than an hour, lol, anyway, i just wanted to root again because i thought that after OTA the call wonkyness in CM7 got fixed, but it seems is still there, so I'll stay with official GB for a while or untill my abstinence syndrom comes back, and in that case ill try with passimg method just becuase it is a pain in the a55 to setup the SDK (I've done it before, too much data to download and Im currently reliying in thetering to have internet at home).Thnx for your answers.

The only benefit is aesthetics, if it really matters to you. I don't much care for the lockscreen, lol. Aside from that, you're right..unlocking the bootloader isn't any worse. It's just personal preference. My point is that you never HAVE to unlock the bootloader.

Still, for people who just want to root it with a 1-click method, what's the way to do it for 2.3.3?
I used rageagainstthecage for 2.2, then used SuperOneClick for 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 ..... What now with 2.3.3 ?
EDIT: I should mention that most users (like me) want to root their phones without flashing this and that, losing all data/preferences along the way. We just want our phone to be exactly how it is now, down to the last shortcut ...... but rooted!

It's already been stated, use PASSIMG.zip method to downgrade to 2.2 or whatever you'd like then root. There is currently no way to root a 2.3.3 ROM with any sort of 1 click.
There is, but it's not 1-click - having unlocked bootloader allows you to flash SU and change permissions accordingly.
Those demanding 1-click will have to wait until there is any 1-click solution - and this might take time.
I just tried unlocking my bootloader but it says I'm missing AdbWinApi.dll ... I have it though. I've used the SDK for rooting before without any errors like this. Must be my day...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=781386
If you upgraded a rooted device - you can also try the "RErooting guide", in one of the threads where you've asked if it's wiping the whole device. It doesn't. But it might not work without unlocked bootloader - I'm not sure that locked fastboot allows you to boot non-stock, even to memory using "fastboot boot" command. If it does - it's a rooting option completely overlooked until now.
first at all, thanks to anyone who try to give me a hand in this one. i own a nexus one for at least 1 year now, since i got it i knew its true potential was in the features that are not available in the regular stock version. well the case is i dont know and i am not familiar with the terms that all of you the tech savys use. i've been going to every post, threat and webpage that talks about rooting nexus one, i've watched every video and for simple that looks like my experience is diferent, is a constant struggle because most all the time all of you take for granted that i know what ADP, CDM, bootloader, fastboot, and etc.. you know, all those terms means that i dont know. i dont expect someone to become a teacher in kindergarder for me, i just want someone give me a guide of how to do it in a language that a person that have tried very hard for at least 6 month can understand. call me the name you choose, but at least, dont tell me i didnt ask for help.

If you want to unlock the bootloader on your Nexus One, follow these steps:
**Precondition: You need to successfully negotiate a connection between your phone and the computer (adb/fastboot).
With that said,
1. Boot into fastboot mode (Power on the N1 and hold the trackball down, until you get to a white screen). Once in fastboot, connect your phone via usb to the computer.
2. Test your connection --- Open the 'tools' folder in the Android SDK folder and SHIFT + Right click and select "Open command window here". Then type the following in to verify your connection: "fastboot devices". If you get a response, then you can continue to step 3. If not, then you'll need to reinstall the SDK/usb drivers.
3. Type "fastboot oem unlock" in the command window and you should be presented by a prompt on the N1 asking if you'd like to confirm the unlocking of the bootloader. Simply select yes, and you're done.

How about you read the wiki first.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Read Wiki, as suggested.
First, follow the "install custom recovery" guide.
Then, download the latest SU (search Google: "chainsDD superuser zip"), flash it in custom recovery.
Does anyone really think this guy ought to be rooting when he has yet to read up on the process and terminology? FFS, he doesn't even know what most of you guys are saying.

If you only want the Honeycomb music player, just search for the APK (look in Nexus One Development for Music 3.0) and install it. Are you sure you want SuperUser abilities when you don't understand the terminology to root your phone? It only gets harder the more advance you go

Hello
My DS7 has a broken port (that plastic line right at the center of the port is chipped). It charges only if I insert the connector a bit crooked... but the device its not recognized by any computer. I've spent hours trying to do it with no luck.
I would like to root it and test some other roms. Is it going to be possible without being able to connect it to a computer? An SD method maybe?
Please help! I did search before posting this... couldn't find an answer.

Do you already have CWM installed? That basically answers your question.

Like TheManii said, if you already have CWM installed you should be in business, but the fact that you can't use the port for flashing is going to be hinderance if you ever need to NVFlash or adb anything. So I recommend to be VERY careful and do nothing without much thought
It's much, much worse to have a broken port on the S7 compared to the S5. As you can remove the S5's batt and charge externally.
Consider yourself lucky you can charge at all, otherwise it's already a dead device/motherboard.

Pretty much all the stuff needed needs to be done via the cable. Now if you have 2.2 installed you can install Gingerbreak apk that will root it. Other than that, its sucks.
Well, some time has passed since I started this thread. I was wondering if maybe there could be a new solution for my problem?

I think its worth it, but it depends on what you want from your device.
Do you want to be able to use custom roms, do you need to use applications that need root permissions? If the answere is yes;
and you have the technical intellect to do so, and dont care about losing warranty, then by all means do root it.
If you are happy with the samsung provided software, and dont really need to use any applications that do need root perms, or if you are not sure about anything you do on the computer, then please dont.
If you do decide to root; then its pretty easy, and wont remove or touch the user data that is currently on the phone.

How to manually root the stock firmware?
Hi,
I've rooted a couple of Chinese MTK6577-based phones from scratch recently, using SP Flash Tool and Android Kitchen to insert CWM. I prefer to root my own stock firmware, that way knowing what it is that I'm starting with.
What is the preferred method of upgrading the N7000 without installing an already-cooked ROM? Will the SP Flash Tool method work, or is there a better way for this device?
Thanks for any advice.
Best regards,
-Warren
You need to use odin to flash stock roms on n7k
