first at all, thanks to anyone who try to give me a hand in this one. i own a nexus one for at least 1 year now, since i got it i knew its true potential was in the features that are not available in the regular stock version. well the case is i dont know and i am not familiar with the terms that all of you the tech savys use. i've been going to every post, threat and webpage that talks about rooting nexus one, i've watched every video and for simple that looks like my experience is diferent, is a constant struggle because most all the time all of you take for granted that i know what ADP, CDM, bootloader, fastboot, and etc.. you know, all those terms means that i dont know. i dont expect someone to become a teacher in kindergarder for me, i just want someone give me a guide of how to do it in a language that a person that have tried very hard for at least 6 month can understand. call me the name you choose, but at least, dont tell me i didnt ask for help.

Strange way to respond... cuz I have a rooted 2.3.3 phone... and made rooted ROM...
In any case OP, try reading through this if you haven't already done so... I think there is a good amount of detail... http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nexus_One
There is currently no way to root 2.3.3 unless you unlock your bootloader, or are coming from a rooted ROM...

+1 That's what I meant. You can't root 2.3.3, but you can flash a rooted version of it.
i really thanks to everyone who took the time to answer, i still clueless of half of what you guys were talking about. i get it, i can root my nexus one 2.3.3. unless i unlocked the bootloader. my question is this how i do that? and simple english please.
i want to be a little more specific of the what my motives of rooting my nexus one 2.3.3. this time around. i want to be able to get superuser abilities and be able to port the music player from honeycomb. i hope this gives you a better idea of what i want and how to do it, thanks in advance
If you want to unlock the bootloader on your Nexus One, follow these steps:
**Precondition: You need to successfully negotiate a connection between your phone and the computer (adb/fastboot).
With that said,
1. Boot into fastboot mode (Power on the N1 and hold the trackball down, until you get to a white screen). Once in fastboot, connect your phone via usb to the computer.
2. Test your connection --- Open the 'tools' folder in the Android SDK folder and SHIFT + Right click and select "Open command window here". Then type the following in to verify your connection: "fastboot devices". If you get a response, then you can continue to step 3. If not, then you'll need to reinstall the SDK/usb drivers.
3. Type "fastboot oem unlock" in the command window and you should be presented by a prompt on the N1 asking if you'd like to confirm the unlocking of the bootloader. Simply select yes, and you're done.

EDIT: Here's a step-by-step guide with pictures --> http://nexusonehacks.net/nexus-one-...n-how-to-unlock-bootloader-on-your-nexus-one/
Note: unlocking the bootloader wipes all your data, so make a backup with MyBackup from the market...

How about you read the wiki first.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Read Wiki, as suggested.
First, follow the "install custom recovery" guide.
Then, download the latest SU (search Google: "chainsDD superuser zip"), flash it in custom recovery.
Does anyone really think this guy ought to be rooting when he has yet to read up on the process and terminology? FFS, he doesn't even know what most of you guys are saying.

Ok i have a unlocked bootloader, running 2.2.2 and just about to update to 2.3.3 through OTA. Right now I also have root access after I used superoneclick to root android 2.2.2.
So after reading your words I believe I have all that's needed. What should I do to root my nexus one with android 2.3.3?
Thanks in advance.

If you only want the Honeycomb music player, just search for the APK (look in Nexus One Development for Music 3.0) and install it. Are you sure you want SuperUser abilities when you don't understand the terminology to root your phone? It only gets harder the more advance you go

I finally successfully recovered my BootLooped Incredible after i incorrectly updated the NV item of my phone. My situation was a little different than most bootloop error because no matter which stock rom or recovery image I flash nothing would stop it from rebooting because the NV items weren't overwritten during the flash. Then I came across a solution for the EVO by cutthroatamft on how he recovered his EVO from the same Mistake but unfortunately all his files were geared toward the EVO. After much searching I accidentally came across a single comment that posted a link for the ENG-HBOOT for the incredible. Now i manage to replace all the EVO specific files with the Dinc equivalent. Below is the link to the files and instructions compile by cutthroatamft but I updated it for the Dinc. Hopefully this helps someone else that has this problem. can't post a live link but I think you can figure it out
update:
Since megaupload is down and Had some people asking for a re-up here's a mediafire link to the file
http://www.mediafire.com/?cu7hu6pu75zvskh
Also as mentioned below by eljean this should work on the SLCD as well it's just your screen will be blank during the process. For those who has this Dinc I found that if the screen is blank wait a few minutes for it to fully boot then test to see if you can execute any ADB command. If you can the just type "adb reboot oem-78" this will reboot it and put it in fastboot mode which will allow you to execute the commands in the document.
update 2:
Nevermind what I said about the ADB... this worked for me on another phone but I realize you'll probably won't get to a point where you can execute the command because your phone in a loop LOL. So I guess getting to fastboot blind folded is your only option

That's a great find and good little zip/guide to get it set up.
The engineering HBOOT can be quite useful for many things besides flashing/erasing certain partitions. The inc community just hasn't used it that much.

Really don't know that info, however if you want to get root but don't want to wait there are other ways to do it. Let me know if you are interested and I will post them up. Consider though it will take longer than it would using the toolkit.
megatronisabeast
I'll try pretty much anything. I've rooted several devices, so findind a new way for another one won't hurt. Only thing that I really would like to do is avoid making a gold card, but if you have to do that I think I will wait for the toolkit. Thanks!! Do you know if it's possible to temp root, flash a kernal with cwm, and then flash a rom?
Here is what you need to do to root your phone, etc.
First thing is to download android sdk:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
It will allow you to send files to your phone from your computer-no s-off so can't flash kernel in recovery only fastboot.
While that is downloading if you haven't already you need to unlock boot loader by going to:
http://htcdev.com/
Don't forget to keep the unlock code so if you need to relock your boot loader.
Next, it sounds like you want to flash a custom rom. If so the best one in my opinion is found here:
http://www.wcxxperia-nce.com/index.php
You have to register to see the vivid section.
Once there you will download the zip file, put a copy on your phone, the other copy unzip and place the boot.img and wcx recovery in the same folder that you have the fast boot file that you downloaded earlier from sdk.
Then you put your phone into hboot mode, plug it in to usb port, make sure on phone screen is says fast boot usb in red.
Then open command prompt in your folder with fast boot by clicking shift and the right mouse button.
Type in these commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery wcxrecovery.img
After those steps power down phone, unplug from computer, return to hboot, click on recovery, then flash the zip file that you placed on there earlier.
That's it, you got it root and all.
Also if you do use his rom, restart phone 3 times to settle phone in and cycle battery 3 times to make sure everything is working correctly.
Here is a video if you feel overwhelmed to help guide you brought to you by randong!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEWa_lUd2bY&feature=youtu.be
Hope this has helped you!
You can use wild child's recovery to perm root ics check it site for the video if you need proof

We just need S-OFF so we can simplify this entire thing by using CWM. It's so much easier being able to flash a scripted .zip package in there than dealing with fast boot.

True, I just wish I knew how long "scripting" takes. I know the video is very clear, and that I'm very good with technology, however I do think that there is a good chance I might mess up...thus I believe I will wait, but I will do some more research be4 deciding what to do

I've never done it myself but it shouldn't be that difficult. I think I'm just spoiled coming from the Inspire - it was rooted, S-OFF'd, and had a few custom ROMs up the within a couple days of its launch. The level of development for that device was extreme from the very beginning.
Sent from my HTC Vivid
True, I still have an Inspire and the development is still booming. I personally just wish HTC would have made the Vivid as dependable as the Inspire, bc my Vivid has all sorts of problems. Turns off randomly, and each time when it turns back on it says "upgrading android" and then it optimizes the apps for ICS. Most of the time it won't flip my pictures(rotate)<--yes auto rotate is on...but all in all HTC went down in quality with the Vivid. Personally this is why I want to root, that way I don't have to worry with HTC screwing up the update.
it does work but i have found that busybox isnt installed/installed correctly and have had to install it from the market for titanium backup to recognize my root.
A reply to numerous posts...you don't need S-OFF on the Vivid, developers have yet to figure out how to do so. It's rumored some users have received their phones shipped with S-OFF, but to my knowledge it's not because of any modifications.

Having S-OFF let's you flash a kernel through recovery. It simplifies the flashing process and makes developing ROM packages easier for the user.

*First of all, I'm posting here because I haven't had enough posts for the dev section yet..*
So...I've never had any issues rooting and installing ROMs.. not that I've done a TON, but two phones and 3 tablets, so I little ha..
Got my HTC One unlocked and rooted fine with the All-in-one tool, which worked good enough, but when I tried to get a ROM working is when I ran into issues.
I guess I'll tell the main issue first and then explain what happened..
Either only boots to bootloader/fastboot,
OR
Gets stuck on HTC logo and never leaves..
Am I screwed?
What I did that I think effed it...
After getting rooted and running, I tried to install RenovateROM_1.0...kept just randomly stopping and giving an error about "asset failed..." and just booted normally (no ROM)
I googled the hell out of that I tried editing the updater-script like I saw in so many places, and then I screwed up cause it was 3:30am and I was sick of trying.
I was gonna wipe the cache and data before I tried installing again, but I ended up wiping System in there and possibly Dalvik cache as well..
(I know that was stupid now!!!! Feel free to remind me haha..)
And now it's stuck.
If I try install a ROM, it says it completes, but won't boot past fastboot/bootloader.
If I re-flash my TWRP with fastboot, then reboot-bootloader, THEN reboot, it gets the HTC and stays.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks much in advance..
-Shaun
I did that too kinda (wiped everything on accident) Try to ADB sideload the Rom in the advanced options to TWRP otherwise you have to download the RUU and relock the phone up etc. And start over.

Your right bigdaddy, shaun you flashed a gsm rom i'm guessing from the unbranded forum.
Download the ruu from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250904
boot your phone into bootloader and make sure your bootloader is in fastboot
extract that ruu file to somewhere you can find easily maybe the desktop
open your command prompt and navigate to your android sdk folder and run this fastboot command
fastboot oem lock
then after you've relocked the bootloader
run the command
fastboot oem rebootRUU
run the setup.exe from the ruu file and let it return you to stock

it also looks like you flashed the renovate rom initial release, That dev is using svn to update nightlies. I'm guessing the "sprint support" is in one of those updates and not the initial release

good deal. Just remember to read everything before flashing. And if your unsure ask. I've had very minimal issues with flashing and changing settings but when I have its been totally my fault for not completely reading an op. if you flash and go back to read a step you've missed its usually too late.

Yeah dude, you're lucky that the international rom you flashed had asserts in it to check device type, or you might've had an actual paperweight on your hands. Stick to the Sprint forums next time.
Yeah I scared myself for sure.. even this morning activating it scared me a little cause normally use the DEC, but it said 'not a valid Sprint ESN', and the HEX

Android - 4.3
S-ON
HBOOT - 1.55
Radio - 1.00.20.0913 (who cares)

All I Really Need:
I need to flash the phone from Sprint to Page Plus. So I need to get it into Diag mode. For that, I need the MSL/SPC.
The Problems:
Revskills and a few other programs + a handful of apps give me all types of errors. I decided to root and use an app that requires root to get the MSL, figuring it would work better. Unlocked my bootloader through HTCDev and attempted to flash a custom rom.
Tried 5 versions of TWRP and try to load recovery - for 4 of them it says loading recovery and then starts the phone as if recovery doesn't exist. TWRP 2.5.0.0 loads up but the touchscreen won't react (I figure that version is too old for my specs.) Both versions of CWM "work" but don't allow access to wherever I'm saving the SuperSU.zip and gives me a list of errors similar to "E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command"
Where I'm At
Just flashed RUU Stock specific to my image. Figured I'd ask before going through that misery again.
Where do you guys suggest I go from here?
I really just need the MSL but root would be awesome to have.
Any and all help (and moral support) is greatly appreciated!

I thought that ditching my who-knows-how-old Evo 4G would've saved me from unlocking/rooting/flashing hell but of course not.

Yes, I did. I was focusing on the last part of your post:

I posted link that helped me get rooted. The Experts/Developers need to help with the rest of your needs. Sorry I do not know it all.
Apologies

Apologies for the hot-headed response. Super frustrated right now. I'm gonna go through that guide again for now.
No worries. That is how I viewed your response-frustrated. I hope someone can help you out. You might send a message to BD619 if nobody post suggestion. He is extremely knowledgeable and may be of help.
Pm LymeWire and ask nicely if he can get the MSL for you. He got mine no problem.
Is he

Thanks for the recommendation! Is he a Sprint employee who can just pull it from the system?

I had a lovely chat with 4 or 5 of them the other day on chat. Anyway, there was no number on the phone since it was brand new and I'm not activating with Sprint. I got the MSL by doing a ton of hard resets and updating every time the os came back up. So if anyone else has the issue of MSL readers, even MSL Utility, not working, hard reset and keep updating everything your phone lets you update (os, hboot, whatever). Then just run the damn thing again. Thanks for all the help though
