Hello, I'm new to this part of xda .. I'm about to buy a nexus one and I need some help to start to good use my phone ..
I see how rooting is a bit difficult, as they are blocked and all that stuff .. I come from a Optimus One, everything is easy with this little ..
I need someone who can give me a boost in my first steps with nexus one, lest something bad happen to my phone ..
hi buddy. welcome to nexus one family
imho rooting nexus one is a very simple process. rather you can just unlock ur bootloader,flash custom rom and then flash watever rom of ur choice.
NEXUS ONE WIKI http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nexus_One
has all the information that you need. and there are a lot of helpful guys around here

Hi I am thinking of rooting my milestone but I am not sure about the risks of bricking the phone. How likely is it that it will get bricked or can I make a backup before I begin?
Many thanks, CFORDv

hi, i was just like you but if you follow the steps EXACTLY to the tutorial on here then you will be fine. one thing though, you dont need to update your bootloader 90.73 or 90.94 if you have those and when you flash vulnerable recovery, the tutorial doesn't tell you that when the phone restarts from flashing the first time, you must hold UP on the keypad (or X for bootloader version 90.78) as i had that problem. finally use G.O.T's open recovery as its much better than the original one (apps2sd is good as milestone has hardly any memory for games and stuff. if you need any help, then contact me on here. Happy flashing
Thanks I have pmed you but it's just if I root this phone and the phonw bricks then I'm screwed. I can't just go buy a new one. Is there a way I can totaly avoid any chances of bricking or just un-bricking the phone if necessery?

right, i understand where you are coming from as i had to think for about 6 hours before i finally plucked up the courage to root mine as i bought one from ebay and messed that up but it was already messed up. if you havent done anything to your phone yet (virgin state) apart from doing Over-The_air updates then it will go fine considering you follow the instructions EXACTLY and everything will go fine like mine did. i will find the website that i used and give it to you as i know it works 100%. how long have you had your milestone?
p.s you dont really need a g1, they are good but milestone is much much better (asphalt gt 5 is amazing!!!!!)

thanks i've had my milestone for 2 weeks now and the reason i want a g1 is to start developing on. as you can load just about anything on it and they are really cheap, i think it would be handy and fun to play with + great to load all my work on
If you use GOT's recovery to root the phone it's utterly painless, and you've got a nandroid backup built into it.
yeah but I've got to downgrade from 2.1 first and that's what I'm worried about

I am happily on a nexus s... and in the past, I have rooted and flashed the nexus one, desire hd, galaxy tab and now my nexus s... however, I have a friend that has a rogers captivate... and he just wants to run froyo....
is it safe to assume, it is just as easy as rooting and flashing a custom rom?
Any links or suggestions appreciated, I never care when I tinker with MY devices... but this is a friends.... thx in advance

Short answer to your question is yes it that easy. The link its to the dev forum. There are too many options and choices, best to read and make an informed decision
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
are you talking about the roms? What is the easiest method of gaining root access on the capitivate? thx
I guess I will read up on it once I have his phone in front of me!
thx
Yeah, it's really just as easy as following the steps. If the Cappy is fairly new it seems it won't have the issues that plagued the earlier runs of this phone so just pick a ROM and go for it.
Hello,
I have an htc one from o2. I want to root it to google edition. Iam a noob at this so can someone show me the way or links to a tutorial please.
Is it worth doing? whats the advantages of a rooted phone? sorry for the questions but i have come from iphone to android so iam new to all this.
thanks
My advice is keep studying, install the sdk and get good at adb and comfortable! Once you're ready and able use a guide for your phone and read it a couple times before you start. Most importantly don't stop any operations you attempt in mid stream follow through and don't reboot until you know it's all good. Hope it's as fun for you as it was for me.

thanks for that, but that means nothing to me.Whats the advantages etc. Is it worth it. i can follow tutorials etc. just need to know what the best guide is etc
If you don't know what the advantages of a rooted phone are and what root means, why are you trying to do it? To be honest I don't even understand your post - do you want to root your rom, have a rooted google edition rom or fully convert to a google edition phone?

sorry for the confusion. Like i say im new to this.
I dont know the difference, i know rooting that you can put custom roms on it, but whats the difference and best, do fully make it google edition or put a custom rom on?

First off, you don't need to be rooted to flash a custom rom - all you need is a custom recovery after you unlock your bootloader. A good guide for noobs to read is the one by mike1986 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618
If I were you, I'd stick to just flashing a google edition rom to see if you like it, rather than doing a full conversion. This way you can easily get back to stock. This rom is 4.3 Google edition and already rooted:

Read the guide above carefully though. Especially the parts about backing up stock, or you'll be back here later asking for help..

Yes, I need a guide. I used SGH-I337 (AT&T Galaxy S4) with Foxhound ROM and got a new HTC One. Since everything is so different, I need help. I looked around this forum for two days but I still can't understand the anything. I got this T-mobile HTC One 4.4.2 and the phone is basically pure stock. I have no idea about anything, so i'd like to get a straight, step-by-step guide to flash Venom One 4.4.2 ROM. I went to T-mobile HTC One forum, but there weren't so much activities and i ended up asking for help here. Also, an unbrick method will be very helpful just in case. If someone could help me step by step, it will be very thankful. I don't mean to bother people by not reading and asking first, but it is so hard for me to understand.

Read here first mate: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45432325&postcount=2
Basically 3 steps to flashing custom roms...
1. Unlock Bootloader
2. Install Custom Recovery (I use TWRP)
3. Flash Custom Rom.
How to do all these things are covered in the guides I've linked above.
Much better to read two or three times then stuff up and end up with a handsome paper weight.
Good luck.
I'll just add my 2 cents
Make a nandroid backup of your phone before flashing a custom rom. Also make a copy of that backup on your computer in case you wipe your phone.
Use at least TWRP 2.6.3.3 for 4.4 and higher roms.
Another question. Is there a Cyanogenmod installer for 4.4.2?
I saw a one click kinda cyanogenmod installer that automatically unlocks bootloadr and installs cyanogenmod.

It's not going to unlock the bootloader of this phone. You need to do that using HTCdev.com. See the previous links.
Hey guys
Im sure I'm not the only one who's thinking this but I really wish I purchased the original mini. The reason for this is the only ROM at the moment for this device is CyanogenMod and nobody seems to be making one. Anybody else feel this way?
Also just in case are you involved or do you know anyone making ROMs for this phone?
Thank God that we have at least cm.... I agree with you, and since I have this phone from July, I have been asking for roms since the first day, but this device isn't so popular yet... Vi there are kernels and mods, better than nothing. This forum sometimes is dead for weeks, I wouldn't be surprised that there is no interest in development
You guys really want a custom rom ?

Absolutely.... Preferably lollipop xD
@Will972 is one of the biggest contributors, as he gave us stock roms for every update
A sense rom based on lolipop will be planed soon on 2015 .. we must first have a kernel dev for a possibility to have it earlier but we don't have it.
The only thing we can have is a custom rom with 4.4.2 base
I just miss xposed since there is no idiot rooting guide.
I will make a rom with some stuff like xposed and sense 6.0 toolbox and maybe harman kardon mod instead of boomsound

I know rooting a HTC is not as easy as rooting a Samsung but still it is not hard. The most annoying part is unlocking the bootloader, but even this is easy, but killing time. Once this is done, you need 2 files: twrp recovery

HI indy140
You are not the only one thinking this, read my Statement(s) under Johann A. Sutter in this Forum!
I have made the same experience, for some reason or another it is obviously, that it is not so interesting (or to complicated) for developers to keep them busy with this device!
Good Luck, I'm keeping myself busy, to buy another one, looking before, if there are already valuable possibilities, to be my own Boss about my property.
