[Q] Simple root for Nexus One

Noob here. I've searched the forums and have tried to piece together what I need to know for what I would like to do. I think I have a general understanding, but was hoping someone could verify or clarify.
I've got a Nexus 1 running 2.3.3. Never been rooted. All OTA updates.
What I would like is to root it so that I can delete crap like Facebook and Amazon and make room on the built-in memory. I don't want to unlock the boot-loader, and I don't want to flash custom ROMs. I do want control of what is stored where, the ability to move things to SD (even if they aren't marked for that (and yes, aware that that can cause problems sometimes)), and the ability to run Titanium backup.
As I understand it, all of that can be done with just root permission. But it seems that simple root for the N1 under 2.3.3 isn't available. Can anyone comment?
Thanks,
DT

Depends what you call simple...
Since you don't want to unlock the bootloader, you can try using the passimg method to revert to an earlier build of android, and then use any "simple root" available.
Unfortunately, a small percentage of users don't seem to be able to use the passimg method, and if you get an "main version is older" error, then it means you are among them...
Passimg method can be found in the wiki, under the unroot/restore guide (passimg method, using FRG33):

Good luck rooting, without trying to unlock the bootloader. It's simply not available atm I belive. Any particular reason you don't want to unlock the bootloader, beside the warranty?

root without unlocking bootloader
I'm still coming up to speed on this, so it's quite possible that I don't understand all the subtleties.
What I want to do is uninstall space-wasting preinstalled junk, and to run Titanium backup. I'm not interested (for now) in custom ROMs. I think I want to avoid unlocking the bootloader both for the warranty (a minor issue), convenience (another minor issue that could be overcome...), and because I want to retain as much of a "stock" device as possible, mostly to allow for future OTA updates. From what I've read, it sounds like a root would accomplish all that. Hence I'd rather avoid all the additional complications if a simple root were in fact available.
Thanks for the help,
DT

Unlocking the bootloader does not affect you device's ability to receive/install OTA updates, but removing "space-wasting preinstalled junk" will certainly prevent you from installing the OTA...

Totally agree. If you check the threads that were active during the OTA onslaught, many people could not install stock Gingerbread due to removing stock system apps (Facebook, Amazon, Twitter, etc...)

...but, if you have a custom recovery, you can still install the updates in a modified form.

Really? I was unaware of that. Would you mind posting a link to an OTA (say, Gingerbread for example) that I would be able to install on a stock Froyo ROM, which I had removed say, Amazon and Facebook?
Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I hadn't thought about the OTA being affected by removal of unwanted programs.

I was just asking if anyone has done this (or does this), as I would certainly love to remove apps, as long as I can install future updates as they become available. (Doing that is beyond my knowledge...) I like my stock ROM, and I would certainly remove certain apps if I know someone would provide a "modified" update.zip for a stock ROM that doesn't check if Amazon, etc are installed.
What I don't want is to flash a new ROM every time an update came out...

It is very simple. If you remove stuff from the stock rom the ota will fail.
You will then need flash the same way as you would for any of the custom roms for updates.
Or you could manually put the stuff you removed back but that is probably more work then you want to do.

Easiest approach would probably be to take a backup of the stock image before you remove any apps, and restore it when you hear that an update is available...

Restoring a NAND backup is essentially the same thing as flashing a new ROM, which is what I don't want to be doing. What would be good is to be able to install a modified/repacked/whatever-you-want-to-call-it OTA update file that has the check (which checks to see if apps are installed) disabled.
If it is just a line in a script that needs to be removed in an OTA, so that it will flash (with a custom recovery of course) with Amazon removed, it is surely doable, no? If it is doable, I am surprised that no one has done it for any of the updates... (at least I haven't seen any).

Thanks, but my question was: is it possible to modify an OTA zip file in such a way that it disables checking for installed apps like Amazon?
This would be helpful, and I had never thought of it until danger-rat mentioned it, but I may have misunderstood his post - he was probably talking about just flashing a new ROM, but that is not what I am interested in.

Yes, it's possible.
The update script is pretty big though, so you'd have your work cut out making sure you covered everything...
The other option would be to build an restore zip, that just reinstalled the apps you remove. Just add the apps to a zip as you restore them...

That sounds like a good idea.
This is what I'd like to do as a test:
1) Restore a stock Froyo ROM
2) Remove the Amazon.apk (and possibly others) from my ROM and save it somewhere (and whatever other files would be needed).
3) Create an update.zip file that would place the Amazon.apk file back to the correct directory in a stock ROM (i.e., odexed).
4) Flash that update.zip
5) Flash the Gingerbread OTA and see if it works.
Would you be able to point me to a guide on how to create a flashable zip? Again, I would need to be able to do this for an odexed ROM.
Thanks.
EDIT: Nevermind. I found it here: http://www.londatiga.net/it/how-to-create-android-update-zip-package/

I agree this is what I did had no problems at all

Dev Server OTA File: USE CAUTION IF YOU'RE ROOTED

POST REMOVED.
I'd like to apologize for posting this update which had previously been available to soak test members and not in wide release. The file was not altered in any way or distributed with any intent of causing harm to Motorola or Verizon.
It was a bad judgment call in posting it for others to use. I was excited at the prospect of bug fixes and feature improvements to what is an otherwise fantastic phone.
That is all. Nothing to see here. Move along.

so have you flashed it?
Does it fix any of the known issues like camera app and so forth

So what exactly is this? A leaked OTA essentially?

So after looking through this file, I placed it on my sdcard, and patched through recovery (power + x).
I was basically reset to stock:
- De-rooted
- Made sure I had all my bloatware back
- Wiped user/cache (this was probably unnecessary but i was all messed up from doing the OTA hacking anyway)
The patch has fixes for many items:
- BP upgrade for the Radio
- Talk2 for Video
- Boot.img patch
- Recovery.img patch
- Various patches to alot of system files
- And some stupid bloatware patches as well.
User's beware if you also want to patch this file. Be sure to be as close to stock as you can get.

This sounds like the OTA that is being pushed to D3 owners that are in Motorola's soak group. Radio fixes and whatnot for battery life purposes. I could be wrong though.

Million dollar question. I want the updated gtalk when I get my replacement D3 tomorrow. I'll be completely stock so I'll be good to go on this as long as the same root exploit exists. I can't imagine they had time to remove it though.

You can re-root using the same exploit.

Done lol, I just took the apk out of the update and installed right over the existing. You also need the libtalk_jni.so from there and out it in the syste/lib folder and you are all set new gtalk with video

So I have another question, if all that is modified is that fact that it has been rooted, what is wrong with flashing this while rooted? Wont it just unroot us at worse and we will have to reroot? Just trying to understand.

Just did. You will need to reroot.

Will this fix a softbrick if you can get into recovery? Any thoughts?

I would imagine the update would fail. If you modified the phone to the point of bricking, I doubt the update would run.

Works great. Already seems faster. Battery reports less for cell standby and phone idle. Either the reporting is better or they fixed the issue.

I've been trying for a while to get this flashed. Even went so far as to reinstall bloat that I had deleted before to see if that would work and it's giving me the same error every time.

I have some really good news, I soft bricked my phone a little while ago because I was an idiot with deleting my apps. I needed my phone and was going to activate the insurance and pay the deductible when I figured I might as well try this. I wiped the cache and data and applied this through the recovery mode and My phone is fully operational now. I can access my contacts, texts, setup accounts and not one force close yet. Now for disclosure I am probably very lucky this worked for me, try at your own risk. I am way to scared to try and delete apps again until I get a proper backup or I see enough people try it themselves with no issues. But to OP... Thank you very much you just saved me $100
edit: Found one glitch, dont know if its my specific phone or not. But if wifi is on and you receive an e-mail the notification light will not go on, if wifi is off it will... Very minor bug though.

So won't this update be available automatically? How does it work with motorola?

So I must be an idiot or something. I put the file on the root of the sd card and then booted into recovery. It gave me an error. Said can not mount sdcard file or directory doesn't exist.

Install OTA 4.2.1 update on stock N4 - The Easy Way!

First connect to WiFi and make sure you can access the web.
Next put the N4 into airplane mode.
Then go to Settings > Apps > All > Google Services Framework > Clear data
Take the N4 out of airplane mode and let it connect to WiFi.
After a few minutes, you will be prompted to install the OTA update.
If you are not prompted within 10 minutes, open the dialer and force a "checkin" by typing: *#*#2432546#*#*
After "checkin succeded" message, you should be prompted to install the update.
Enjoy!

Doesn't work for me.

You have to be standing in the bathroom for it to work.
No. But for real. Updates are pushed out in waves. If your device is not on the current wave you will not get the update. That's it.
Don't want to wait. Do it manually.

"Easy" is a relative term. Not everyone here, especially in the "General" forum is comfortable yet with flashing alternative recoveries or using abd, etc. This is meant for the novice and/or purist who does not want to alter the phone in order to receive and apply the update. This method does in fact work. Quite often the device is ready to receive the update, but the built in automatic & manual checkin fails to trigger the process. Clearing the GSF data forces the device to initiate it almost immediately, as opposed to waiting an undetermined amount of time for the device to resolve the issue on its own.
My advice to the audience who this is intended for: If this did not work for you now, try it again in a few hours or tomorrow, I assure you it will be much faster than waiting for it to happen naturally. In fact, to prove my point further, go ahead and try the manual checkin (under settings > about phone > system updates) first, each time, before you try this. You'll eventually see what I mean. FYI - Every Nexus device has behaved this way.

How come I can't get the update to install either in CWM or from OTA?? If I do OTA the phone reboots into CWM and I get an "assert failed" and installation aborted.... And if I manually go into CWM and "update from SD card" option I get the same issue!

That means you removed genie widget.odex . put the file back or any other that you deleted and it will go through. I deleted currents, books, earth, genie, videos and a few more and it failed on the update and its because you have to have the same build prop or same apps back

You only need to clear data of google services framework, then check for updates. Rinse and repeat until it works - usually 1-5 times.
All those other steps aren't necessary.

For those who have altered build.prop, any way to fix beside completely going back to the original Google ROM img?

As I have CWM, CWM asked if I want to flash untrusted update - I said yes. After isntall, I rebooted back to Recovery (as it said something about restoring stock recovery while installing update). CWM was still there. I told CWM to reboot and it said 'you may have lost root'. I selected yes to fix root and it rebooted. all seems fine now.

Worked nicely!! Thanks

Attention read before flashing official ota!!

keep in mind before anyone updates to the official jb. i suspect the official release will be patched to not allow us to return to ics. if you keep root after the update good but if you some how break root there might no be a way to get it back as of now! so be cautious before you accept update. we should at least wait for an official jb fxz if you plan on keepng root this way if you mess something up at least you will have a working phone back without root of course. again i dont know they will patch the official release to prevent downgrade but lets find out for sure to be on the safe side. i dont think were gonna get dan to make us a jb root method right away soon.....

It could be considering its small size. Those who have updated to JB OTA should install safestrap and make a backup.

That's not the official one... A leak update for a leak update is not the official OTA. The official package (if for some reason it is 98.4.20) will be the size of at least the 2 leak update.zips together. It is not a 10 MB change from ICS to JB. It's a 10 MB change from JB leak to JB leak.

I can confirm that this OTA does block you from going back too ICS. Lucky for me, I have backups, and i kept root, so I can go back by restoring one of my backups. But I think this leak OTA is pretty good, so I'm not to upset.

Just to clarify for Pete.
We don't want your information stored on your phone.
1) Restore back to ICS using the "restore function" in SS3/TWRP
2) Do a Factory Data Reset in settings.... privacy..... Factory Data Reset (this will wipe all personal info from the phone).
3) After you've done a Factory Data Reset, do a backup in SS3/TWRP.
4) Zip up the folder that has the backup you just performed, and upload it to a file server somewhere.
5) Post the link in this thread.

I used nrt to root my n7, I am not sure about the method you used. Also if you changed any build prop parameters, or any stock system apps, you must revert back to the original files before this ota update will work. The update will check your n7 to see if there were any mods to the original stock files. If you can't revert back to know what was changed then you may have to do a full flash of 4.2.2 then flash the update...
Try to write down the error message when you try to flash the update, that may give you some clues...
