I followed that guide to the letter to root my N1 while running Windows 7 x64. Make sure to use the PDANet drivers (as mentioned in that tutorial): http://www.junefabrics.com/android/download.php

That makes no sense.
What part should say fastboot? Where are you typing fastboot, and where are you seeing "fastboot usb".
Be more detailed so we can help you.

i think this was where things went wrong. i am used to linux so didn't reboot after installing the pda drivers. i think it was the reboot that has got me through.

Cool, so you got it working? Awesome
I update to FRG83D and I guess i lost root. I attempted to restore flash clock world mod again but .nothing happens when i confirm I tried to do a backup from Titanium backup and of course it says i'm not rooted. Then I tried to go into Superuser app and it asked me to update. I attempted to and I got an error the su was not updated. A zip file (su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip) has been placed on your sdcard, please reboot into recovery mode and flash it to update your su binary.
Sorry for the long winded explanation, but i'm totally frustrated. I've been trying to fix this for 2hrs. Oh yeah I originally got root using universal androot and it still says im rooted. I clicked unroot but it doesn't work. I'm confused cuz androot says i'm rooted, but Superuser and Titanium backup says i'm not.
PLEASE HELP MEEE!!! I would like to get back cmod 6.1
was this:
cmod 6.1 rc1-n1
clockmod 2.5.1
kernel: 2.6.35.7
Build num: frg83
Now i'm this:
Android ver: 2.2.1

Thank you danger-rat. I'm back to stock frg83. It only took about 10mins. Now I'm trying figure out how to get back to root. None of the one click methods seem to be working. Superoneclick, z4root, androot. Once again Thank YOU
Super one click works for frg83 and frg83d. You will need a computer. I got it from the unlockr. It has step by step instructions. It was easy and works perfectly.

Is it the case for a Nexus One replacement unit that has never been rooted or altered in any way? I got it with FRG83 and installed FRG83D as soon as I received it. I tried SOC method but it was stuck on 'waiting for device' message. Not sure if it is because of an old XP machine or HTC Evo cable I was using.
Upgrade the SuperOneClick and the Nexus One drivers to their latest versions. It DOES work. The least it does is presenting you with a root shell in ADB - which is enough to root manually.

I tried both SOC 1.5.1 and 1.5.5 with .net 2.0.5x in the XP machine. I just used the files included in the zip, isn't it that it has latest Nexus One drivers too? Sorry, I am a Mac,Linux guy and not much experience with ADB stuff on Windows.
It might not be the latest drivers, since the latest SOC (I don't remember, I believe it was 1.5.5) finished the rooting procedure correctly on FRG83D, tested several days ago, less than a week. The latest drivers are in the SDK, they need to be installed and the phone has to have "USB Debugging" enabled.

Thank you! I guess I have no other option but to install Windows on my Mac. I was feeling lucky and I thought Linux or Mac can use SOC but it is proving difficult and I haven;t come across a single reply who stated success on Linux/Mac!
Uh, why SOC? Use any of the others you just run directly on the phone..

They don't exist for FRG83D just yet and I am not sure if we can downgrade to FRF91 or some other firmware without unlocking bootloader.
You can install Windows in any type of VM, as long as you can forward the USB to it. I can use my Nexus in Linux under VirtualBox, after I forward the USB device to VirtualBox.

Is it true for Mac too? My previous attempts with VMWare and Parallels failed while trying to use USB at low level. I guess it is worth a shot, thank you!
when it hangs at waiting for device, unplug usb and then plug it back in and it should find your device.

With all the time wasted searching for other methods, you would have had root on your device already if you just did it manually. It is so simple, takes like 20 mins, and it doesn't require a Windows PC.
I really don't understand why people search for so long for a "1-click" when doing it manually doesn't take that much more effort.
Rooting so is simple with the binaries available:
1) Put rageagainstthecage on your device, change permissions to allow it to run, run it, and presto, it gives you a root shell.
2) Now that you have a root shell, all you have to do is put su in the /system/bin directory, change the permissions so that it can run, and presto, you have root.
And given that rageagainstthecage exploits a vulnerability in the way adb works, this method will work for all devices without a NAND lock.
Rageagainstthecage so easy a caveman can do it.

I have an unlocked bootloader on Moto X from sprint. I just need the easiest way to root.
This looked confusing. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2536200. Gotta be another way.
Have considered restoring to stock and taking the dang thing back http://atsgadgets.com/how-to-restor...lite-att-t-mobile-sprint-verizon-us-cellular/. So frustrated.
I've offered paypal to those who can do it successfully. I am so burnt out on trying to make this work. This PITA is not worth android. I have a one click jailbroken phone now. And I have successfully rooted and installed custom roms before but this is totally out of hand how complex this is for me. Maybe I'm just remedial but it seems several are having trouble with this model. For open source, this should not be this tough.

Here, go into Settings -> About Phone and tell me what your Build Number is (at the very bottom).
Do not put in the cmd window mfastboot, just try fastboot flash recovery twrp 2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img. Now also put the recovery image in the same folder as fast boot, I believe its SDK tools folder

Plug in your phone and put it into fastboot by typing adb reboot bootloader then type fastboot devices does it show that you are connected?
I will try that as soon as I can and get back to you. I have two computers one at my hotel and one here. I'm not sure I have the ADB tools on my netbook

ya during his four days of misery, he could have just read for 1 hour on the stuff so it would seem confusing anymore and then he would have had a rooted phone. But either way, his problem is solvable with a few simple instructions.
OK Jay/Aooga.
Finally back from work.
Plug in your phone and put it into fastboot by typing adb reboot bootloader then type fastboot devices does it show that you are connected?
open cmd window, typed adb reboot bootloader, and got:
T063202TFL and fastboot, and then a prompt.

Phone is in fastboot mode with white, yellow green text.

Battery OK Charging
Transfer mode USB connected.
It looked as though I had to be able to accept the 4.4 kitkat OTA in order to get this done. but when i went to the usual spot to look for system updates it said there were none available.
Anyhow, I am super grateful for your help. Sorry to be such a remedial doofus
Looks like we can wait till tomorrow. Or today. Or whatever timeline it is.
So I want to upgrade to KitKat, checked stuff out, I need S-Off. Okay, I check out S-Off, I find Revone. Looks easy enough. I take a whack at it, everything goes well, then I do the ./revone -s 0 -u. Nothing. Just reboots. No confirmation, nothing. Okay, so that didn't work. I check out some other threads, it sounds like you should be running 4.2.2 for optimum results. Download CM 4.2.2, flashed with gapps, everything is hunky dory. I go to do my lil revone trick again, and fail again. So now I'm looking for other solutions, and I find moonshine (which doesn't work at all) and rumrunner, which works up to the point that it says "waiting for fastboot," when my phone is obviously IN fastboot. Any solutions? I'd like to finish this up with rumrunner because it's gotten me the farthest. Yes, I have all the drivers on my PC, no HTC sync, I know my stuff well enough to know ADB and fastboot. Help? THANK YOU.
Edit: just gave it another go and it does everything, right up to rebooting into fastboot, but it STILL doesn't recognize it's in fastboot....
Edit2: I just read something else that said KK requires latest TWRP as well, so I'm updating to that in hopes that will somehow help.
Edit3: seems to be a driver problem. Of course I start to find the solution after hours of searching, but only after posting a thingy. But it sounds like other people have been having problems even when they've updated their drivers, so if anyone has any tips for me still, please, by all means.
Edit4: it's a Windows 8.1 problem apparently, which seems to only be fixed by updating to hboot 1.55, which doesn't have an s-off thing. So great. Any solutions?
ALSO I'm on hboot 1.44

if you're on hboot 1.44 (pre June 2013), you can still use revone directly on your phone using a terminal app, such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en or any other one terminal app
but you will need a Sense 5 based ROM (preferably 4.1.2), suggest this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48955645&postcount=250

if you have an OTG cable, you can use that to get the ROM and revone onto your phone, otherwise you'll just have to download them directly on the phone.
revone won't work with CM roms, as far as i know; best chance is with 4.1.2 ROM (Sense 5), the one I linked has worked for myself and well over 15 others by now from the first try.
But make sure hboot is 1.44 and dated before June 2013!!
I couldn't do a thing with Windows. Drivers are never thought so I got myself a copy of 32bit Ubuntu. NOT 64! Put it on a cheque and booted into that. I didn't install it, just ran it as if trying it. Then I got the proper rumrunner for Ubuntu and my device. No need for drivers in Ubuntu. Worked the very first time. You can also run Ubuntu from a USB... Maybe give this a shot
EDIT.... I was on stock, rooted with custom recovery and 1.55 bootloader

It's fine, the phone can be used as MTP and it's easy to transfer the revone file over, it just doesn't do anything past ./revone -P, it reboots and does nothing.

Yeah, I somehow missed the terminal bit. Tried that too now though. I flashed the ARHD ROM, and am using the terminal, but now I'm getting an error code -6 from revone. I'm not even sure if ADB is on, I can't find the ADB setting in ARHD :/
Edit: turns out it's hboot 1.44, March 18, 2013. >.< Trying the Ubuntu method next I guess.

YOU'RE THE BEST. FINALLY WORKED! I did have some problemas getting sudo on the live CD, I used the command "sudo -s" and that did it for me, that'w what was holding me up though. AWESOME.
Hello !
I run on Windows 8.1 x64 but fastboot doesn't work and my phone can't be detected. It's probably drivers problem but I have install/re-install many times HTC drivers and HTC Sync but it's doesn't work.
I'll wish to install Ubuntu 13.10 on dual boot to switch my phone to S-OFF. So, can I achieve S-OFF on Ubuntu or it's only on Windows ? (run RUU, commandline, exes ...)
Thank you
There's a different set of commands for Ubuntu. U need to search those up. Research it carefully
