Hi , I have a brand new nexus one and i am trying to just root it , is there any option to root my phone without all those ROM and Bootloader Stuff ??
If you don't want to use all those fancy roms and bootloader stuff then you will be limited, but yes.
Easiest way is to boot to fastboot and
fastboot oem unlock
Then install su and busybox
Possibly some other necesities but google is your friend and I'm sure a quick search will let you know.
At the same tonken, consider a custom rom, recovery and enginering bootloader, most are happier this way

How To Root
Hi,
I was a noob at rooting at first but i discovered the best way is to fastboot oem unlock then flash a recovery using terminal or command line or whatever then boot into recovery and flash a custom rom or rooted stock. This means you don't have to bother with complicated stuff
Hope that helped
Or see this page just posted:

Super one-click is what I used to root mine it's fool proof.

Fastboot is definitely the easiest way to root your Nexus One. One simple command and your Nexus One is roorted.
You should keep in mind that the phone memory will be wiped and you should keep a recovery zip (4EXT preferable) and a custom ROM handy.

Superboot is a boot.img that when flashed, will root your device the first time you boot -modaco.com/topic/298782-08mar-superboot-erd79-gri40-rooting-the-nexus-one/[/url]

im useing ota 2.3.4 and ive tried everything to root the nexus one universal,z4,gingerbreak i have the bootloader unlocked but it will not root however gingerbreak did install su i thought my G2X was a trip this thing is giveing me more grey hair somew one have a solution
I had this problem and just managed to figure it out today (through the power of google). Superboot, oneclick and gingerbreak all don't work for 2.3.4 as of right now, so you have to use the PASSIMG method to flash an older version and root from there.
I found a good guide, but given that I've been a lurker for the past couple years as opposed to a regular poster, I can't link it. In lieu of a link, I suggest a search query such as "root 2.3.4 nd1razor"
Your bootloader is unlocked. No need for all that crap. Put the su zip on your sd card. Flash custom recovery via fastboot. Boot directly into the new recovery. And flash the su.zip from the recovery. You're rooted. The end.
you just need to flash custom recovery via fast boot or rom manager.then you can flash custom roms (which mostly have root along with tweaks) via recovery

I also unlocked the bootloader!
I put this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1084726
But I still do not have root permissions ... Why?
You have them, but probably don't know how to use them. How do you check for them?
How did you put the ROM? Did you flash custom recovery?
Yes, i flash recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img
Now my rom is: MIUI-1.9.16
The strange thing is that I managed to install the rom and recovery without having root permissions
Not strange. You don't need root. You have unlocked bootloader......

Thanks, you're very kind!
How do for get root permissions ?
The ROM includes them. When you're inside the ROM, you have root.
You are right !!!!! I just had to change the parameters with superuser
thanks
P.S.: Sorry for my ignorance
so im sure im going to get abuse for this, but im stumped !

thanks in advance

am i able to install any rom with flash tool? that guide is v good btw i was following it but not to actually install a rom as i cant see root yet...
oh...
first you need to do some research before you go playing, always keep a stock FTF to hand just in case anything goes wrong
ROOT
Install CWM
Stock rom which allows you to do a bit more modding
A must for the XZ: Pure sound
CWM Will allow you to install Rom's and mods. but at the moment you will have to say on Andriod 4.1.2 becuase you will have a locked bootloader and if you unlock that (You have to enter a certain code in a program ) you really need to know what you are doing becuase or at least something
P.S. Here to help but you do need to read, not just jump in at the deep end and hope for the best
DIDNT WANT TO POST AGAIN: Is your bootloader locked of unlocked (Have you entered something like fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY)
Two simple questions: When do I need S-OFF and when do I know?
I want to test some of the custom roms on xda, and I have unlocked the bootloader, flashed cwm and are rooted.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
You don't need S OFF to use ROMS. So long as you have CWM you can flash any ROM. But you have to flash the Boot.IMG separately as well.
E.g.
- Download your ROM
- Double click on the ZIP and take the Boot.IMG out. Just get a copy of it. Doesn't matter if it's still in the ZIP. You just need a copy of it.
- Flash the ROM
- Go back in Fastboot and flash the Boot.IMG
- To do that put the IMG in your Fastboot folder or any folder than recognises ADB (Fastboot mode)
- Open CMD and navigate to the Fastboot folder in which the boot.img is too
- Type with CMD : Fastboot flash boot boot.img
- It should say complete or OK
- Restart phone and enjoy
S OFF is mainly just for users who can't be bothered to do that. And to find out if you have S OFF you go in Fastboot mode and it will say up top if it is or not (S-ON)

But why not just get s off and flash roms normally? What's the reason for not get s off?

you don't need S-off unless you want to change your phone's CID or downgrade the HBoot
if you don't know what these things are you don't need it.
You also don't need it to flash a kernel like the 2nd post suggested.
I've flashed about 10 different roms and not had to that with any of them. Just flash the zip in recovery. I'm new to android a few months so maybe things have changed recently?
S-off is if you want change bootloaders, cid, etc. Once you have s-off it's easy to brick your device if you're not careful. It's not needed for flashing roms though.

Ah, then I'm gonna skip S-OFF. I've flashed many roms with mye SGS3 and LGO2X, but I think maybe HTC is a little more tricky to handle.

Yes they are definitely!
So for the "common flasher" it's not necessary to be S-ON?

If all you plan to do is use custom ROMs then there's no need to be S-OFF. All you'll really need is unlocked bootloader and custom recovery (TWRP or CWM).
S-off allows you to change your phone's firmware regardless of what carrier you have or model ID. So you can get the most recent firmware even if your carrier hasn't pushed out an OTA. That matters to some people but not all.
It also allows you to flash a custom hboot to remove the red text on your splash screen. This is wholly an OCD thing--there's no good reason to do it otherwise.
S-off essentially means you're taking full responsibility for your phone and can't rely on HTC's security checks to prevent bricks.
hey guys. so I've learned that to unlocl bootloder on a HTC One GPE, I simply have to use the fastboot oem unlock command. My question is, how do I root it now so I can flash a ROM on there? I'm really eager to try the revolt ROM.

Hi there everyone! I am absolutely 100% noob when it comes to LG. Always had an HTC phone but with the horrible reviews for the M9 I chose the G4. Its a great phone stock but the rooting itch has gotten to strong lol. Read plenty of threads and watched a few videos on how to root this beautiful phone. Yet, questions pop into my head...... I know most likely rule number one is to unlock the bootloader. For HTC I would then boot into Fastboot mode to flash TWRP with the famous command "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" and then proceed to flash my favorite ROM that is pre-rooted. Would the steps be about the same? If not, what is different? Is there any way to hide root from the T-Mobile Account app that checks for root or should I just get rid of the app? Also, I am still on the 10H build. Should I update to 10N first or would I not be able to root? So sorry for the amount of questions presented here it is just that I'm afraid of bricking. Any help is appreciated.
Upgrade to 10N then follow the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/h81110n-stock-rooted-image-t3191038
Make sure you set OEM bootloader unlocked as well in Developer options.
Then use flashify to install TWRP
I would install debloated ROM here but thats up to you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/rom-g4-h811-10n-stock-rooted-rom-t3188858

Thanks for the help! Flashed your stock rooted image so I could Flashify TWRP. I have been a part of the HTC fan club since the Droid Incredible. All the way to the One Max and M8 while I was on Verizon. This LG stuff is all new to me lol.
