I have been looking through the threads, and havent seen what I am looking for. So hopefully i will not get flamed to bad. I tried to install mikeymikes GR12, I got through the first stage of downloading the gingerbread rom to the phone through odin, but then it went south. I lost root and was unable to get back to the download screen. I then tried to use the all in one tool to root the phone, and that put me to the recovery screen where i could not use the ok button, just the volume up and down buttons. I just managed to get the download screen to come back, but i cant get anything else to work. Any suggestions on what to do, where to go from here.
Thank you for your help
I would go back to stock first. I believe your problem lies in the bootloaders. There are two bootloaders in the beginning and if you don't have the gingerbread ones installed, you won't install gingerbread properly.
I would use DesignGears One Click Odin to go back to stock and load the Froyo drivers. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989. Make sure you open up Odin first before plugging in your phone, then hit the Start button.
Once that is done, you can try again, but read about getting the GB bootloaders installed properly before you try to flash a GB ROM. Any of the GB ROM instructions should get you there. Just make sure you know all the steps before you try it again.
Good Luck!!
I don't see why you would be flamed for your question. That is what Q&A is for and you are in a bad spot. The biggest thing to remember is to be as specific as possible when you post a question. This includes what you were trying to do, what steps you took, what was the result, when did the problem occur (which step) and what you have tried to do, if anything to fix it.
One more thing. It is always possible that the USB cable is bad or that the USB port you are plugging into (on the computer) isn't working properly. You might also want to plug into a different USB port.
Sorry these posts are broken up, but as I'm coming up with ideas, I'm posting.
Here's something you should try:
(I wrote this for Team Phoenix, hence the sig.. But it works the same with every ROM. There's a link to a very nice tutorial I suggest you follow).

Me too. If we can ... Remember not all things can be recovered from so please read everything twice before ever touching your phone.
10-4. My next question is: where do I get froyo from. Kies sees my eclair version as unregistered, so it wont update. And my ota sees an update is needed, but when i tried, the area im in has crappy signal, so the update failed and now i have to wait 24 hours to do it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks again
are you planning on flashing a custom rom?
if so updating to official froyo is A HUGE WASTE OF TIME
EDIT:are you Canadian by chance? if so check this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979133
I only plan to root the official froyo right now, that is what I had before I jacked it up. I am not Canadian.

Going on official froyo will get you the signature failed error (which you need the 3e recovery fix if you ever want to flash a custom ROM).
So, basically, if you want more than 2.2 official release. We suggest you don't update. If you're perfectly fine staying on 2.2 Froyo, then there's no problem lol
As for Kies, you shouldn't have any problem using Kies mini. Other than that, there is a 2.2 flash around here. I'm sure you'll find it doing a little search
I had root on my official froyo for a couple of months without a problem. Right now i cant get my phone to go into download mode, it only goes to the battery screen. If i can get to download i can make some headway

If the battery pull way isn't working. You could always go read on abd. It send SU commands and you could get your phone in downlaod mode that way.
Is there an easy way to get adb without getting the sdk. I downloaded the sdk and it keeps saying i need java, when i download the java crap it says the same thing.

Did you reboot your pc?
Yes i did, no change
i believe you need microsoft .net framework installed also...
easy adb setup link in my sig.
files and everything needed to get going.
you may want to build a jig yourself or buy one online just in case:

I just purchased my nexus one today from a lady that had it brand new in box she never used it etc. when i got it i turned it on with my sim in and it worked great was even able to update to 2.3.4, i got home and decided hey id like to load some custom roms. however ive never done this, i also have a galaxy s 4g ive been trying to figure out how to load custom roms on for the past 2 weeks and im just over whelmed with all of the information in most of these posts. half of it i dont seem to understand, just wondering is anyone out there able to walk me through via IM on gtalk or yahoo messenger on rooting my nexus one and running a custom rom on it? Just looking for someone thats not busy and has some time to spare, ive messaged a few people but have not received any responses. but let me know Thanks!
ive installed pdanet, i tried loading passion frg33 and renaming it and putting on my sd card to downgrade since i guess cant root 2.3.4. but it says old version. that was one of the many guides ive read that told me to do that so im not sure just stuck scratching my head i guess.
Ok well when you say "old version" I'm going to guess that it says "main version is older" which means that you got the new main version so you'll need to use a different passimg file http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=go&drKey=1105&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusoneforum.net%2Fforum%2Fnexus-one-general-discussion%2F12112-nexus-one-oracle.html&v=1&libid=1308893507029&out=http%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2F6bym3vg&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusoneforum.net%2Fforum%2Fsearch.php%3Fsearchid%3D243391&title=The%20Nexus%20One%20Oracle%20-%20Nexus%20One%2FNexus%20S%20Forum%20-%20Google%20Phone%20Forum&txt=http%3A%2F%2Ftinyurl.com%2F6bym3vg
Now I know you said IM of some sort but I'll just try and drop it in this thread if you don't get it then I'll help you on gtalk of something.
Now what you need to do is rename the file above "passimg.zip" now if your on windows this will be "passimg" because on windows the extension is hidden.
After you do that you will be able to root with superoneclick all you'll need to do is set up the drivers download and extract this file http://api.viglink.com/api/click?format=go&drKey=1105&loc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusoneforum.net%2Fforum%2Fnexus-one-development-hacking%2F10940-simple-sdk-setup-manual-root-guide-windows.html&v=1&libid=1308894048581&out=http%3A%2F%2Fdb.tt%2F10De9hz&ref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusoneforum.net%2Fforum%2Fnexus-one-development-hacking%2F&title=Simple%20SDK%20setup%20and%20manual%20root%20guide%20(Windows)%20-%20Nexus%20One%2FNexus%20S%20Forum%20-%20Google%20Phone%20Forum&txt=http%3A%2F%2Fdb.tt%2F10De9hz (credit for this goes to danger-rat) boot the phone into fastboot (hold trackball while powering up) and connect to the computer via usb, computer should ask for drivers select manual and point it to the "usd-drivers" folder from the file you just extracted.
Now all you have left to do is run superoneclick from the tools directory of the file you extracted.
thanks man imma try that right now ill let you know asap how it goes.
so it went to 2.2.1 i attempted to root using super one click but got no love. ran an older version that i used to root my galaxy s 4g and tried to do rageagainst the cage like i did with that one for my galaxy s 4g and it rooted it. do you think your able to message me on gtalk? my id is [email protected]
fastboot oem unlock
Flash new recovery.
Then flash superuser apk.
It's not that hard, and there are plenty of tutorials that show you how to do this, including the wiki.
Search. Read.
Read the "Root" section in Wiki. Look at my signature.
Ok well like he said in his first post he read some of the info and doesn't understand most of it, so I took the liberty of helping him he is now rooted and running cm7.0.3 with dt installed and everything.
Just throwing that in there so you guys know.
Good for you Dude! xD

Do you have any idea which particular ROM you want to flash?
I am using Overcome 4.1 which has a comprehensive install guide, you could start with that as a good introduction to flashing - besides it is an awesome ROM

Phone start up fine and am able to find supersu in it and i guess that means the phone is already rooted. Saw an update from sony but couldnt get it installed.
Downloaded http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2167064 , did a install from zip . Everything seems fine till i reboot, it just keep rebooting to the SONY logo..and wouldn't start up. I can still enter CWM or bootloader....but it just refused to boot up regardless of how i try it.

Given that this is the most common issue along with the fact there is a thread a day started asking how to restore I find it hard to believe such statements. Read the stickys!

Hi sorry I know it has probally been asked lots of times but I have searched and I am tearing my hair out now.
can anyone tell me in simple steps or post a link to simple instructions to get firefox and flash installed and working correctly it but had to do a reinstall.
Now when ever I try tvcatchup.com I get unsupported mime type but flash is installed. I CANNOT use the b &n plugin download link as I am not in the US and it is not available in the uk.

It sounds like your on the bn official rom? Believe you have to be rooted which leapinlar shows how to do in his guide here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35811322#post35811322
And you can grab the flash apk anywhere like here on xda -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774336
If your not on bn offical rom, you just need the latest firefox installed and an apk from above link sideloaded with "unknown sources" setting enabled in android settings. That's it.
Different apk versions may cause flash to act in different ways. I had used the 11.1.115.81 version and it gets the job done.
Something auto updated and made the device unstable. I had backed up the image as it states in the how to but when I went to restore it back got a md5 error. He he serves me right for reading the instructions.
cheers I will give it a try.

Hi. I know I'm probably a bit late, but the Flash browser plugin is available on the UK nook store. Just search for browser plugin.
I tried to post the link, but it says I need 10 posts to do that.
I know this works, as I installed it last week. I'm on the stock rom, so this should work for you. Hope this helps.
