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
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.
These are the steps I took in Ubuntu...

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

ok, or you can root your device the right way, within 3-4 minutes. where is the guidance in using a tool kit? considering you learn absolutely zero from it, and toolkits occasionally mess things up as well.

tool kits are not for novices, at all. they do not guide you through anything. toolkits are fine to use, when you know whats going on. but when you dont, you arent taught a single thing.

DO NOT use the toolkit till unlocked and know how to use manual fastboot. Will not know why toolkit failed and will not know how to recover as it will take fastboot to recover. I did Odin also. It was a dependable tool. Fastboot is the old tried and true Nexus, HTC tool. Virtually unbrickable. The toolkit can brick you and will require fastboot knowledge to fix. Fastboot update only takes 2-3 minutes once set up and know what you are doing.
Just to echo what everyone else is saying, toolkits are great but only use them if you understand what they're doing. Using fastboot the first time.round is essential for learning.
All.threads are in nexus 6 general > sticky roll-up
Including my adb and fastboot thread,. Which is good for noobs.
HaHaa. I actually had more problems and failed flashes with Odin and "the toolkit". Never had a fail with fastboot.
Toolkits.... Not. Do it manually with all the proven guides posted!

There are already advices given by real experts.
I humble add some " why's " not to start rooting for the first time with a toolkit.
A. There are so many options; it easy to make a mistake.
B. Toolkits use scripts and once started you are not fast enough to stop the process when you do something wrong.
C. When you know how to use command lines
with adb and fastboot, you will be prepared for toolkits.
D. You will find here complete rooting guidelines in sticky threads. Read them.
Nice rooting!
Thanks everyone for overwhelming support read half of the thread will do rest of the work tomorrow some assignments to do

No you will need a computer to do this. I would not advise modding your device at all if you do not have access to a PC.

Because if something goes sideways, and eventually it will, youl'll have no clue what it did, and how to fix it.
Nexus phones have open source tools, adb and fastboot, to manipulate them, they are very easy and straightforward to use.
I understand that coming from different phones, that only have hacks and tricks to unlock the bootloader and change the recovery, using tools seems obvious, but with a Nexus it's counterproductive, and makes fixing things so much harder.

Thank for that insight. I wanted and took the easy/prepared route for unlocking and root of this phone. I was once familiar with manual way when the N2 was unlocked. I got to re-learn again. My last job made me very anal retentive about following instructions, and I think that made the rootkit easy to use. In 3 days I used it when I got with 5.1.1 and yesterday for 6.0. Today I flash Roms to find the one I like.

Why do people keep saying you need a custom kernel??? BTW, used nexus root toolkit on the K build without problems, no luck on R(never had N) but the tool got updated.... However... I would not be using any thing chainfire Su related sinds it got sold out.

Because at one time it did require a kernel change to get root.

Because you needed a custom boot.img to root 58K too. It will either contain a modified kernel with SELinux set to permissive (I've patched mine by hand, so I know what I'm talking about), or contain an updated sepolicy binary to allow su to work. Also since you said you didn't have red triangle, it means your fstab.shamu was also replaced with one with disabled verity.
So. Don't use rootkits. If you do use rootkits and discover you don't know what's happening, at least please don't keep correcting those who try to help you.

I was hoping that someone would answer this. Flashing files and rooting on Linux is MUUUUCH easier than Windows. Why? No need for special drivers to recognize your device.
Even better, if you try to run a adb/fastboot command without having them installed, Linux will tell you the actual command for you to type and download/install them...all within the command window.
This might sound confusing, but it is really easy and seamless, in my opinion.

Most of what you said depends on your distro.
On Arch you definitely need to add u-dev rules for the phone to be noticed, and if you dont have them installed and you try to run it, it won't tell you how to download.
But.... If you install via a package manager it will be automatically added to your path
Also, I have NEVER downloaded drivers for my phone in windows, and never needed to.
That's good to know. I should've added that I use Ubuntu as my distro, and I love it.
