[Q] Unlocked N1 - But Root Fail - ERROR- could not get pipe properties (MAC)

hi there,
been busy all evening on my Mac trying to unlock and root my nexus one retail. Got the phone unlocked after extensive reading on SDK and ADB Hoped that the positive flow would continue when switching over to the rooting process, but unfortunately I seem to get stuck and have failed
I downloaded the correct superboot version for my phone and placed it in my home folder (on same drive as where I successfully did the fastboot procedure for unlocking). And then I entered this in Terminal:
---
suikerchiller-macbook-3:~ suikerchiller$ cd /superboot
suikerchiller-macbook-3:superboot suikerchiller$ chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh
suikerchiller-macbook-3:superboot suikerchiller$ ./install-superboot-mac.sh
ERROR: could not get pipe properties
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY
booting... OKAY
suikerchiller-macbook-3:superboot suikerchiller$
---
As a result my phone automatically reboots into basic settings. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong??? I'm a total n00b but am really eager to learn In a bit of trouble now as well, because I don't know what to do anymore and dare to touch my fone either.
Any help would be great. Can't wait to finally be released from Vodafone's retail nexus one terror and want to challenge all those ignorant iphone studs out there and show how cool and superior my Nexus one actually is
P.S. I searched for quite some time on the forum and couldn't find a post/thread that was related to my problem. Please forgive me if this is some sort of double post.

If your phone is unlocked, don't bother with superboot, just flash a custom recovery and use it to install the su zip...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
Place the recovery image in your sdk tools folder, place the su zip on your sd card, connect via fastboot and type:
fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img
fastboot boot name-of-recovery.img
Flash the su zip from recovery, and you're done!

many many thanks for the quick reply I placed the recovery image in my sdk tools folder.
However, still have a couple of questions:
I don't know what you exactly mean with a su zip??? Where can I get this file?
what do you mean with: "flash the su zip from recovery"?

I put a link in my original post. The eclair/froyo version works for gingerbread, also...
Once in recovery, you chose the flash zip from sd option, and then the chose zip from sd option, find and select the zip... It will be obvious when you do it...

sorry, it's still too much rocket science for me I guess
I uploaded the su zip file (did not unzip or rename file) to my sd card (activated usb storage and dropped the zip via Mac in the main folder of my phone).
what do you exactly mean with "connect with fastboot"? I shut down my fone first and pressed power button at same time with track ball. Then I did this:
---

As you can probably see it didn't really work haha what am I doing wrong? Sorry for my n00biness!

You said you have already unlocked your bootloader. In order to unlock the bootloader I you have to connect with fastboot...
How did you unlock the bootloader?

I unlocked it via the first 7 steps of this procedure (sorry have to copy paste a lot of text because im not allowed to post outside links on forum yet haha):
-----
Connect your Nexus One to your PC/Mac and turn it off.
Hold the trackball and hit the power button (while holding the trackball). You should see the following bootloader screen.
Now from the files you downloaded previously, you will see a folder called ‘fastboot‘ (if you extracted fastboot.zip that is!).
On a Windows machine – launch Command Prompt and CD to fastboot folder. (Type in ‘cd ‘ (without the quotes and drag and drop the fastboot folder to the command prompt). Type in ‘cd fastboot‘ again and now type the following command ‘fastboot-windows oem unlock‘ (without quotes) and hit enter.
On a Mac or Linux machine – launch the Terminal and CD to fastboot folder (type in ‘cd ‘ and drag and drop the folder. Now hit enter.). Now CD to the other fastboot folder and type the following (without quotes): ‘./fastboot-mac oem unlock‘ (for Mac) or ’./fastboot-linux oem unlock’ (for Linux) and hit enter. You will see the following. Ignore the error.
This is the screen that you will see now. Use the volume button (on the side) to select ‘Yes’. (Please read the full message displayed on the screen thoroughly). Now push the Power button to select this option (weird, I know. Trackball would have been a better choice to select!).
Great! You have successfully unlocked the bootloader! You will see the unlock image while your phone boots up.
----
I did this successfully and had the black screen and selected unlock phone. So when I press the power button & trackball at same time now I get a white screen now and it says in pink on top: ***Unlocked***

Ok substitute the term fastboot-mac instead of fastboot, into my previous instructions

damn, still doesn't seem to be working:

it's really weird, it looks like my fastboot is not responding anymore... Any idea what's going wrong here???
thanks so much for taking time and helping with figuring this one out!!!

Just tested something. When my phone is switched on normally and connected via USB, Terminal recognizes it as an adb device. However, when I switch into fastboot, Terminal doesn't recognize it:
---
suikerchiller-macbook-3:tools suikerchiller$ adb devices

Is this where the problem resides?? Anyone know how I can fix this???

adb will only work when it can see the adbd on your phone, so the phone had to be booted to either recovery or fully bolted.
fastboot will only connect when your phone is booted in fastboot. If its not connecting, reboot your phone and mac and try again...

Sorry, just re-read this...
Command not found, NOT device not found.
You should be typing fastboot-mac, not fastboot...
Do you have a file called fastboot-mac in the same folder as your adb and recovery img?

rebooted my mac and phone... Still no difference, this is my latest command:
---
suikerchiller-macbook-3:~ suikerchiller$ cd /"Android SDK"/tools
suikerchiller-macbook-3:tools suikerchiller$ fastboot-mac devices
-bash: fastboot-mac: command not found
---
can this be the reason: my fastboot folder is in a different (other) folder than my 'android sdk' folder... should i drag and drop fastboot into the tools folder of sdk???

YES!
Put the fastboot-mac file in the same folder as the other stuff!! xD

haha ok, so I copied my fastboot-mac file (original file from fastboot folder) into AndroidSDK/tools folder. It's in the same folder now where the .img file is in as well.
But it still doesnt seem to be working. These are the commands that I have been using:
---
suikerchiller-macbook-3:~ suikerchiller$ cd /"Android SDK"/tools
suikerchiller-macbook-3:tools suikerchiller$ fastboot-mac flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1-CM.img
-bash: fastboot-mac: command not found

-bash: fastboot-mac: command not found
suikerchiller-macbook-3:tools suikerchiller$ fastboot devices
-bash: fastboot: command not found
suikerchiller-macbook-3:tools suikerchiller$
---
What's going wrong??? I'm going slightly mental now. Also running out of beer at same time. Not a good combination

can you list the contents of that folder, and tell me what result you get?

this is the list of files in my AndroidSDK/tools folder:
--
suikerchiller-macbook-3:tools suikerchiller$ ls
Jet hierarchyviewer
NOTICE.txt hprof-conv
adb-mac layoutopt
adb_has_moved.txt lib

apkbuilder proguard
ddms recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1-CM.img
dmtracedump source.properties
draw9patch sqlite3
emulator traceview
etc1tool zipalign
fastboot-mac
---

and here are the commands for fastboot, in case they can be of any usage
suikerchiller-macbook-3:tools suikerchiller$ ./fastboot-mac
usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>
commands:
update <filename> reflash device from update.zip
flashall flash boot + recovery + system
flash <partition> [ <filename> ] write a file to a flash partition
erase <partition> erase a flash partition
getvar <variable> display a bootloader variable
boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] download and boot kernel
flash:raw boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] create bootimage and flash it
devices list all connected devices
reboot reboot device normally
reboot-bootloader reboot device into bootloader
options:
-w erase userdata and cache
-s <serial number> specify device serial number
-p <product> specify product name
-c <cmdline> override kernel commandline
-i <vendor id> specify a custom USB vendor id

Hmmmmm, well the file is there, so that's really weird because you mac is definately saying that it's the command it can't find...
I'm not much of a mac guy, but I do know that your mac is the one having the problem...
Try:
./fastboot-mac flash recovery name-of-recovery.img

suikerchiller-macbook-3:~ suikerchiller$ cd /"Android SDK"/tools
suikerchiller-macbook-3:tools suikerchiller$ ./fastboot-mac flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1-CM.img
sending 'recovery' (3380 KB)... OKAY

[Q] Bootloop forever after KitKat install

So i decided to give insertcoin 4.4 rom a go yesterday. flashed twrp 2.6.3.3 via adb flash recovery which worked great.
Clean installed insertcoin kept to instructions no odex etc.... phone rebooted as required got to setup screen an just reboots itself and repeats the same procedure.
I cannot push anything via adb now all sdk is up to date and in correct folders etc.
would try sideload but i cant get any sense out of that. any help on this oh yeah.
hboot 1.54, htc dev unlocked and thought i had s-off but its showing s-on. tried rumrunner with the hope i can fix situation but no joy but the program just ends.
so whats i should route to take follow some tutorials and get back to stock or try a few more times to get it sorted?
edit: I have a backup but its on my laptop and i cannot push it through

ERROR: run rumrunner again and READ (no adb connection to device. Debugging on?
Drivers?)
Press ENTER to exitYes
This is the message I get when trying rumrunner. but there is no way i can enable/disable usb debugging as i cannot boot into the phone

I have tried many different ways to restore the phone but i keep getting remote not allowed error

I thought TWRP 2.6.3.3 was pulled due to some bugs, maybe best to go back to 2.6.3.0
then use adb push or sideload to get a Guru Reset ROM (same or close to your firmware) onto your phone (with ROOT, and without "stock recovery")
and use rumrunner to get s-off.

you cant fastboot flash a ROM. you have to, be in custom recovery, then:
adb push C:\Fastboot\ViperOne_3.1.0_RC2.zip /data/media/ <- this will take 5 to 10 min
then in recovery INSTALL ZIP -> choose zip -> ViperOne
and you should be good.

All fixed now using revone to s-off and sideloaded zip I'm back in the game.

[Tool] Flashe 1.2

Welcome to Flashe!:victory:
Flashe is basically an all-in-one installer which only requires a few clicks and you are root,unlocked(bootloader), and you can choose a recovery to install in the process. This is much easier than using ADB commands or fastboot.:good:
The program does included a feature that allows you to use a custom boot image and get rid of the "unlocked bootloader" screen.
WARNING: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
Requirements:
-Atrix HD,Razr HD,Razr MAXX
- .bin logo file(rename to logo when put in flashe folder)
- .iso for your recovery(CWM,TWRP, or Philz)
Future Update:
-Downloads the required files from a server
-Menu(choose to install other things
-GUI, instead of text there is a actual button interface.
Errors:
You MUST allow the program to boot you into recovery otherwise the custom recovery is lost due to the android os overwriting it. If you have any other errors pm
me!
This uses djrbliss's exploit,special thanks to him for his exploit, but the rest is all coded in by me.
Enjoy!

I looked at the threat, and it calls it a threat because it is a rooting tool.
Also,When I first started rooting I did not get how to use it at all(Mythtools).Instead I used programs on my android.So I made this to help new users coming to the atrix community once I finished learning ADB commands and some fastboot commands.
Here is the source:
Code:
adb kill-server
adb wait-for-device
adb push pwn /data/local/tmp/pwn
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/pwn
adb push su /data/local/tmp/su
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb install Superuser.apk
adb shell /data/local/tmp/pwn
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/pwn
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/su
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb reboot
adb wait-for-device
adb push unlock /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/unlock
adb shell su -c /data/local/tmp/unlock
adb shell rm /data/local/tmp/unlock
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot getvar all
fastboot continue
adb wait-for-device
adb reboot bootloader
echo [-] To continue you will need a boot file which will
echo [-] replace the "Unlocked Bootloader" image. Name it:
echo [-] logo.bin
echo [-] Continue when you are in the bootloader and have the file.
pause
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot continue
echo [-] Processe complete!
echo [-] -Root installed
echo [-] -Bootloader unlocked
echo [-] ---------------------
echo [-] This next step will install a recovery.
echo [-] Recovery will allow you to install your own roms,etc(depending on the selected recovery)
echo [-] Rename your recovery image "rec" so it should be 'rec.img' then continue.
pause
adb reboot bootloader
echo [-] Continue once in bootloader
pause
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery rec.img
echo [-] Once finished flashing continue...
pause
adb reboot recovery
echo [-] Complete! You now should have recovery installed. Enjoy!
pause

Tell me what this fastboot command would do

fastboot oem append-cmdline "androidboot.unlocked_kernel=true"
It is referenced in the fire rooting guide, seems harmless?

You will need the root_fire.zip from the other thread, and then open a command window in the folder where you extract those files.

It is referenced in the fire rooting guide, seems harmless to try on xt1096?

SuperSU breaks ADB

Hey.
I'm trying to root my brand new BQ Aquaris U to use it as my new development platform, since the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (i9250), which has served as my development device for the last five years, is rapidly breaking down on the hardware side.
The Aquaris runs on the latest firmware, Android 6.0.1, Kernel 3.18.24, Build 1.5.0_20170217-1219.
My host computer is running on Fedora 25 with the lastest Android SDK.
As long as the device is stock, I can connect to it via ADB, but of course, I cannot obtain root.
Code:
$ ./adb start-server
* daemon not running. starting it now at tcp:5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
$ ./adb shell
[email protected]:/ $ exit
$
I then boot the device into Fastboot mode and install TWRP.
Code:
$ ./adb reboot bootloader
$ ./fastboot flash recovery ../../BQ/twrp-3.1.0-0-chaozu.img
target reported max download size of 535822336 bytes
sending 'recovery' (16676 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.528s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.416s]
finished. total time: 0.944s
$ ./fastboot reboot
rebooting...
finished. total time: 0.203s
$ ./adb reboot recovery
$
Then I back up the "boot" and "system" partitions and transfer the backup over to my computer via MTP.
I then transfer "SuperSU-v2.79-201612041815.zip" to my phone and install it via TWRP.
After I boot into Android again, ADB is no longer working.
Code:
$ ./adb shell
error: no devices/emulators found
$
There seems to be nothing I can do to get ADB access when the device is rooted. The device will show that "USB debugging is connected", but will not be recognized by ADB. Resetting debugging permissions on the device does not help. Neither does changing the USB connection mode (e. g. from "File transfer (MTP)" to "Charging only") on the device or adding the device's USB ID (2a47:901b) to "~/.android/adb_usb.ini". When the device is returned to stock via an OTA update, ADB will start working again. Restoring the backup via TWRP will probably make it functional as well. However, of course both will un-root the device.
Is there any way to get ADB working on this device while it's rooted? Since it's pretty obvious that SuperSU breaks ADB on this device, can I somehow contact the developers of SuperSU to help them track the issue down? Or is there a known workaround?
Any help is appreciated.
