Why not flash Geo's FRG83D that is rooted and completly stock?
Will that root it...? Can I just download it on my phone and proceed from the handset ..
Sent from my Nexus One
Its already rooted. But it will use more internal memory because its deodexed for themes.
Super One Click can root it, read their thread.

Because it is not completely stock - it's deodexed...
Since upgrading to Gingerbread 2.3.3, I've lost the root access I had on Froyo. I used the RageAgainstTheCage method before and found that worked well. I could easily re-root after each update to Froyo, but it doesn't work now that I have updated to Gingerbread.
Is there a 1-Click Root or something fairly simple, similar to RageAgainstTheCage perhaps, that I can use to root my device without unlocking the bootloader??
I've heard some people mention Ginger Break?
Thanks, Steve.
No.
Whatever 'Gingerbreak' is is unreleased yet, apparently the dev wants a few more devices in the wild first.
Simple? Sure...
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
So if my bootloader is unlocked what else do I have to do at that point, push a custom recovery? I was under the impression that none had been updated for 2.3 on the nexus one yet.

Recovery is version independent. Flash one, then use it to flash ChainsDD's su files.
Yup, flash a new recovery, then use the recovery to flash on the su update file
Alright cool thanks, didn't want to come off as ignorant on the matter but to be honest sometimes it feels like getting detailed information is kinda tough with all the threads that get created on the same subject and how large some of them get.

Reports I've read indicate that the rageagainstthecage exploit doesn't work for 2.3.3.
If the soft-root exploits don't work on 2.3.3, simply downgrade to a 2.2 version, soft-root it, install a custom recovery and then flash a root 2.3.3 ROM...
I'm not completely certain, but I don't think you can downgrade either. At least I've not heard of anyone succeeding with the passimg approach yet...

It'd be great to have GingerBreak released. Please?
Looks like downgrade is possible for some, while others are struggling...

Affirmative downgrade is possible!!!
Anyone need help????
but if i downgrade to 2.2.2 and root the n1 while its in 2.2.2. Wont it come out of root when I put the stock 2.3.3 on. Atleast for me the whole reason I went to 2.2.2 is so i can get the stock verison of gingerbread. I do want to root my phone but I dont wanna use a different rom as of now I wanna keep the stock verison of gingerbrad that I got from google. I guess my real question is without the ramble, Once I downgrade and root the Phone wont I lose root once I put the stock 2.3.3
Just install a pre-rooted stock 2.3.3...

Here I am!
I have successfully downgraded from stock GRI40 to FRG33 (via PASSIMG), rooted, flashed custom recovery and finally flashed a stock rooted GRI40.
Congrats!
I did actually correct myself later...

Im going to lose root after this RUU update?

Yes you will lose root and you would also need to relock your bootloader as well.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
MOST IMPORTANTLY!!!
Make sure that if you have a custom recovery that is is updated & double check that it is. Write the version numbers down to confirm, both before & after.
There was an early recovery that could not (CANNOT) be overwritten without flashing a modified PH39IMG file first, then flashing stock or new modified recovery.
If you update with your device with that original recovery, you may be very sorry.
Ok so I put the ICS that Pirate put up before he got mad and took it down. Doing what I had to do in order to get that on my ohone, does that,mean I'm already set to use this RUU and get the "official" ICS update if I so choose?
Sent from my HTC Vivid using xda premium
No you need to relock the bootloader in order to use the RUU.
Ok that's what I had thought, just all this talk of different recoveries and stuff started to confuse me lol... Thanks for the help

Stock Vivid and Beyond ICS
After reading some of the posts - I have a few questions.
I have a stock AT&T Vivid. I believe I can just install the following directly - correct?
http://dl3.htc.com/application/htc_vivid_att_RUU_3.26.502.56_US.exe
Then after upgrade to ICS -- can some one point me to the correct direction to ROOT and SIM UNLOCK the Vivid after I upgrade to ICS?
Thank you!
Run the ruu...Unsure of which tools exactly are for just rooting youl, have to either call att for a simunlock code or purchase one from online

So, just to confirm, I assume that "YES" I can run the update on stock AT&T (no rooting required) and then after I upgrade to ICS any RUU will root -- nothing special to root ICS?
Thank you!

RUU=ROM Update Utility. These are full builds released from HTC that will NOT have root. A lot of custom ROMs are built from an RUU, but rooted during the cooking process.
thanks works great! a little slow on my virtual machine windows but that's not the ruu's fault, it's my lack of memory. one thing it doesn't tell you is to put it into fastboot mode.
do we know if Rogers Raider can work with this ?
anybody with rogers already flashed this, please confirm.
Look 4 posts up I already said it will only work for att

What do you mean by this? That before I run the ruu, I need to update CWM to the newest version?
I have arhd Rom which is perfect for me as it has all the bloat stuff removed, but I need an unrooted version so that my work email client and Sky Go will run. Is there a way to completely unroot? I tried removing superuser, busybox and Su but Sky Go and work email still complain that my phone is rooted ? Thanks for any guidance.

Ultimately you need to install a stock RUU/ROM.zip. What you have to do before that depends on if you have S-OFF via Revolutionary or an unlocked HBOOT.

Nope. I did tried to unroot (unproper) by deleting the superuser apks in /system/app. I did that on my friend's galaxy ace. But his phone is stock.Try deleting /system/bin/sh too.

Yes, use SuperSU, check the settings.
Hi guys,
1. I have a rooted, stock 4.2.2 Nexus 7 and I use Chainfire's SuperSU app.
2. As you may know, Chainfire just updated SuperSU to v1.44 in order for it to work on Android 4.3.
My question is this:
My device hasn't taken the Android 4.3 OTA update yet; when it does come, is it possible to use supercurio's Voodoo OTA RootKeeper app to preserve root, since it will be keeping Chainfire's latest SuperSU?
In Play store, voodoo ota rootkeeper says it is not updated for 4.3 and will not keep root.
Ah, the only place I haven't checked
Thanks though!
I can confirm it doesn't work.

What about chainfire's super su pro with OTA survival? He did recently update it to 1.44 to address some 4.3 bugs.

I had that prior to my OTA. My OTA failed, but SuperSU still alerted me that it saved my root after I forced a reboot.
Just reflash the latest SuperSU zip, no big deal.

I've tried updating from OTA but I get the dead android error message in the flashing process. I had the device rooted and DPI set to 160 but I changed it back to 213 prior to trying to update via OTA. I also removed root via the Full Unroot of the chainfire SuperSU. Any ideas why I'm getting this ? The error i'm getting looks like http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-G-zGeRL92...6FM/s320/Android+Factory+Reset+Tutorial+2.jpg

Fixed it myself. Downloaded the update from the dedicate thread [REF] Nexus 7 Stock OTA URLs and tried to sideload it with ADB and noticed I had an error message regarding the checksum of debuggerd. So I found a debuggerd with matching checksum ( from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2379430&page=2 ), put it in place and everything was able to update. The update process ended in a bootloop but that's another story which got a happy ending: updated via fastboot with the stock image from the Google repository.

Well, for one thing it would mean blocking ads would be easy and that's the major source of revenue for Google, so I can understand why they wouldn't want to do that.

Are you sure this works?
I mean: Flashing a custom recovery like TWRP with a toolkit and then flashing the right SuperSu with it.
Should work fine.. Has for many others.... However, TWRP is probably better for doing it.
