[Q] help me reinstall OS and root my nexus one

I've got a nexus one with a broken power button and a corrupt OS. It rarely successfully manages to boot. Since this is the case, I'm not able to turn on USB debugging to follow some of the tutorials here..
My next try was fastboot.. I downloaded these two files:
recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-passion.img
update-cm-7.1.0-N1-signed.zip
But it seems like I wont be able to flash a recovery file if I have "s-on" displayed on my hboot or fastboot screen..
How do I gain "s-off"? And is it possible to flash a stock rom via fastboot?
And yes, my phone's got stock gingerbread 2.3.4 rom.
HBOOT 0.35.0017
MICROP 0b15
Touch panel SYNT0103
Radio 5.08.00.04
Please help me with this matter as I have been trying to accomplish this task for over three months now..

Read Nexus One wiki, section "root", and section "recovery".
You don't need S-OFF to flash anything, if you unlock your bootloader. This is Nexus.

Boot into fastboot, plug into your PC, open command prompt wherever you have the fastboot command in Windows, most likely in android sdk under platform-tools, run "fastboot oem unlock" from command prompt, your bootloader is now unlocked. Attempt to flash your recovery now."

It's already unlocked, as there is a small open lock displayed at the bottom of the boot screen.. and fastboot displayed it as already unlocked as well.. still.. i need a way to go to recovery without the power button

If you're in the bootloader - "fastboot reboot recovery".
If you're in the OS or while the OS is booting and ADB daemon is already running - "adb reboot recovery".

fastboot reboot recovery doesnt seem to boot the phone to recovery..
should the OS be completely booted up if I want to use the adb command? because it displays the error "error: device not found" when I try to "adb reboot recovery"
Might this be a problem with my computer? I checked and confirmed that the drivers for the phone are successfully installed...

Yes, I can fastboot works ok because I can flash recovery image and reboot phone through fastboot. But since my power button is broken, I need to reboot to recovery through the computer...

First try: "adb reboot recovery" or "fastboot reboot-recovery"
If that doesn't work, give this a good read to see if it will help you:

If you are able to flash the recovery via fastboot, then I see no reason why you should not be able to reboot into recovery via fastboot or adb.

Both are the same, the second one is easier to follow.
OR
Put your recovery .img file into the same folder as your fastboot command, and run this: "fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.4-passion.img"
^^^^^USE YOUR RECOVERY NAME...NOT THE EXACT ONE ABOVE^^^^^

First try: "adb reboot recovery" or "fastboot reboot-recovery"

I've attached an image showing proof that I've tried your method but still kept on failing to reboot to recovery..
When i try the command "fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-passion.img", the phone simply restarts and goes back to the 'X' boot screen and gets stuck there.
Could anyone please find me an genuine unedited gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM so I can PASSIMG it? ... I've downloaded several rooted ones.. but all seem to need the "android-info" file

fastboot reboot recovery
No "reboot-recovery".
And if you still get stuck on "X" when you reboot to recovery - it means that your recovery is corrupted/unusable too, and you need to PASSIMG everything.
Generally, booting the recovery through "fastboot boot" should have done enough - if your phone can't boot, it might probably be a HW problem preventing it from booting, and in that case - nothing will help.

I've attached an image trying out "fastboot reboot recovery" fastboot doesnt even seem to send that command to the phone..
Could anyone please provide me with a genuine stock gingerbread 2.3.4 or higher PASSIMG file? i've searched a lot but all i see are modded or rooted ones.

Yes, you're right. Fastboot can't reboot to recovery, only adb.
Oh well, in that case you're out of luck. You can't PASSIMG without power button, so if "fastboot boot some_boot_image" doesn't help - there's not much left to do.
You could always disassemble the phone and fix the power button...

Here's the 2.3.6 PASSIMG zip file link. Follow the directions. If you can get into BootLoader, your phone should automatically boot this if you have it named to PASSIMG.zip, and on the ROOT of your SD card:

I've seen an in depth video tutorial on youtube and attempted to repair the power button on my own.. however I failed since I cannot do such tiny soldering..

6.open the terminal in your computer and type in 'adb devices', you probably will see an empty list, no devices. Just follow step 7
7. type in 'fastboot oem lock' without quotes and your device is locked again, you will see relocked - you might see a warning under it but that's nothing, after rebooting the warning will go away.
I haven't understand these lines. Can u explain me, what does mean "adb devices"?

Most easy way to flash stock ROM is when device is unlocked , s-off it and run the ruu. If you relock the device you can't flash a GB ROM if you had used stock ICS.

Yes it says fastboot and I am not using a USB 3

use the all in one toolkit instead of that... Seems like you don't have any ideas working with directories and command line. It's showing that error because obviously your computer cannot find the file named "recovery.img"

I wasn't being sarcastic, I was pointing out to Riyal that you must be familiar with this as you would have had to use it to unlock the bootloader.

Make sure that you have the latest version of the sdk installed.
Make sure recovery.img is in the correct folder and make sure it is named exactly that ie recovery.img not recovery.img.img.
Make sure you have the correct recovery version for this device.
Try with phone booted into android,..navigate to folder in command prompt....adb devices...adb.reboot-bootloader......wait for reboot into bootloader......fastboot devices...fastboot boot recovery.img (to make stock backup) or fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

How do I root an HTC One GE on a Mac. Done some googling and couldn't find an answer.

You have the simplest device on the market to root. The procedure is the same as for a Nexus device. Mac or PC, it makes no difference, just install the SDK for OSX.

Any link with instructions. I rooted my N4 and it was crazy easy. I'm a noon at this.

I've written a tutorial. Check the link in my sig.

Does he even need to do half of that? I thought the GE was the same as Nexus, ie, fastboot oem unlock, then flash recovery and superuser?

Oh crap I missed the GE part
carry on
fastboot oem unlock and install recovery and supersu.

So I used a "one click" solution for my N4. I vaguely remember those commands you entered. Is there a step by step somewhere that will tell me what to enter in terminal and what to download, etc.

Ohh come on
Here it is!!
1. Hope you have fastboot drivers on youe pc(if not, get it)
2. Put recovery.img in the same folder where you have fastboot(on pc)
3. Get superuser.zip and put it on phone.
4. Get into bootloader mode and get into fastboot USB by connecting phone to PC.
5. In cmd type "fastboot oem unlock"
"fastboot reboot-bootloader"
6. Now you have ***UNLOCKED*** in BL
7. Now in cmd again,
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
8. Now in BL, get into recovery
9. From recovery, you will have option to flash zip
10. Select it and flash superuser.zip
Ta Da
You are done
HIT THANKS BUTTON IF I HELPED YOU

Anyone who needs a one-click solution to root a Nexus device probably shouldn't be rooting their phone in the first place. Sorry, but there it is.

I disagree. The GS2 is the simplest. You just flash the recovery via ODIN and flash superSU through that recovery. No ADB or unlock tokens or S-off or anything. It runs 4.2.2 AOSP just great. To get back to stock everything, you just do a reset via ODIN. No traces of root whatsoever. <sigh> Those were the good ol' days.
It still makes one hell of a first phone, though.

Looks like I have root, but it seems like after some time of the phone being on, it loses root access and I have to reboot in order to regain root access. Any ideas?

Can I ask about the thread title?

windows 8.1 has a driver problem on a really old hboot 1.44
and it was only a problem for a very few. The phone was updated to hboot 1.54 just weeks after the release of windows 8.1 and it works fine.
If you are on hboot 1.44 and you only have use of a windows 8.1 PC their is a driver hack that will work and get your phone working long enough to update the hboot.
File > http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2500592&d=1389122072
Instructions
I repeat this is a REALLY DIRTY solution that may harm your system, personal data, hardware and/or cat.
Here are the steps:
0. Have a Linux or Windows LiveCD just in case something goes wrong
1. Download and extract files from attachment
2. Navigate to the folder corresponding to your system version (x86 = 32-bit, x64 = 64 bit)
3. Right-click franken-usb.bat and click "Run as Administrator"
5. Wait for it to finish and reboot the system. If everything went fine, you will boot your system successfully
6. Install ADB/Fastboot drivers just like on Windows 8
7. Connect your phone in Fastboot mode to your USB 2.0 port and check if it works
8. Enjoy and wait for official fix
How does it work:
It's not any kind of magic - it just replaces Windows 8.1's usbhub.sys and usbport.sys with Windows 8's ones.
Old files don't check for BOS descriptor so Fastboot can work.
Script updated - it should now actually copy the files but please double check if files were copied to C:\Windows\system32\Drivers!
Hope it helps you!
Regards!

OK you have a t-mobile phone that's a good thing
Boot the phone to the bootloader by shutting it down then holding volume down and hit power
now with the phone in fastboot USB / hooked to the PC
type fastboot devices
you should see your phones serial no displayed
now just type fastboot flash recovery with a space at the end
now just drag TWRP 2.6.3.3 into the command window and hit enter. this will flash twrp
now type fastboot erase cache
followed by fastboot reboot-bootloader
now you can enter recovery and use adb to push or sideload a rom to your phone
Instructions
Unlock the bootloader at HTCDEV
then from fastboot USB
Flash recovery TWRP 2.6.3.3
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then sideload this Rom to your phone
http://www.androidrevolution.org/downloader/download.php?file=Android_Revolution_HD-One_81.0.zip
TWRP / Advanced / ADB Sideload - swipe to sideload
From PC adb / fastboot folder
you use
adb sideload name-of-rom.zip
make sure the rom is in the same folder as adb / fastboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You should note that you windows is not showing the file extensions of your files in the sdk folder that's why you get the error when you rename files twrp.img is actually trwp.img.img
you just can't see it so be careful when renaming files and adding the extensions, their already their just hidden

Thanks!
