Stock FRF91 unrooted to rooted FRF91?

I searched and read through some of the threads and really didn't find a conclusive answer to what I am looking for. So I decided to create a new thread.
My question is: Is there any way to root the N1 that has Stock FRF91? I'm not a noob in rooting, just wanted to make sure. I don't really care about unlocking the bootloader (warranty isn't an issue for me).
Can I just use the fastboot oem unlock command to unlock bootloader then install the custom recovery and install custom roms? Or is there a new method to rooting Stock FRF91 currently.
Thanks

Yes.

The instructions in that link wont work for stock FRF91 with stock recovery. I couldnt get the Amon recovery to load onto my phone in order to flash the root. I have tried to ADB it 5 times and each time it says successful, but when i go into recovery all i get is the android with the !.
By all means OP, you can try this and if you get it to work, let me know what you did. I tried 5 times and couldnt get it to work.
my bootloader is unlocked also.

after you pushed custom recovery, did you press Volume Down button while rebooting to go directly into recovery? because after you install custom recovery and let the phone reboot, the stock recovery will remain; you should try to go into recovery immediately after pushing the amon ra recovery without letting the phone boot up
let me know if that works

What is the method for rooting "without using SDK tools"? There are emulator apps in the market but they refuse to work without super user permissions? I have stock frf91 and looking for a way to root my nexus one?

that did it sir. thank you. Was it like this in 2.1? I dont remember having it revery back to stock recovery when following the tutorials. Then again maybe i never let it completely boot back up...

that's great; it was the same on 2.1, you probably just can't recall at the moment
glad it worked

Interesting. So once you use the Amon recovery it sticks as long as you dont reboot after you install it. I guess i was just lucky the first time!

So we need a bunch of informations from you.
Which Bootloader are you on
Which sd Format is it (GB or ICS)
Have you Root
Is Your Bootloader unlocked.

it is ICS i think. i have came from ICS 4.0.4 to MIUI's rom.
Yes its rooted.
Don't know whether my bootloader is unlocked or not.
When i install a new rom after performing necessary wipes and reboot, it comes back to Xiaomi logo and MIUI's rom start but its apps and processes stop every second.
The installation of new roms that i flash says success but on rebooting MIUI comes even after installing roms.
i use CWM 6.0.2.5.
Tell me what other information you want.

You must unbrick the phone, if you came form ICS you have new boot and that MIUI with new bootload and cm7 works with oldboot.

Well no... but you if you are on ICS Bootloader you cant install an rom based on GB Bootloader and vice versa.
ALWAYS Check in the rom description which Bootloader is it for. Some rom´s even need to flash an own CWM Recovery File to get it work Propperly.

If you want to put cm7, you must to change bootload, and for that you must unbrick.

for unbrick followe this great senior .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1715272
that will unbrick your phone, .. after you can install a stock GB via smartflash or the ics.. you choose!
good luck

Uh, unbrick? Why is all this unbrick talk going on here, he says that his phone isn't bricked, so there's no need for that.
Are you able to boot into cwm by pressing vol down while powering on the phone? If yes, just flash the desired rom if you know which bootloader you are on.
Else, if you are not sure of bootloader, use aio toolkit. Download toolkit, install nvflash drivers in that, then select option 4, and follow the process. Select old/gingerbread bootloader when asked, and cwm version of your choice. Then put a Rom in sd card and flash in recovery.

Hey Rugglez.
But the process is the same for what muditj14 wants to do, am I wrong?. I never said it was brick. What I meant was that in order to change the boot, he must pass for process of "unbrick".
Perhaps the definition of exchange boot is not being the right one by me and I apologize if that induce someone into error.

Hey mate, what you said isnt a wrong method, but I just suggested AIO toolkit method because its so much simpler and less time consuming. Ultimately, the end result may be the same, but spyrosk has made the toolkit so user friendly that even someone without knowing anything about NVFlash can easily use it. It installs the required drivers by itself with the click of a button, and shows step by step selection of which bootloader, partition size, recovery etc. to flash, and is very safe to use

[Q] Rooting and flashing questions

As of last night I had my KFHD7 setup just the way I wanted with root, Kinology and my customizing 99% done. Well, I decided to get cute and mess around with how the status bar looked and <wham>, I lost my entire user interface. I ended up flashing stock 7.3.1 back on using TWRP and all looked well because I still had the root and could just put Kinology right back on. I wasn't aware there was an update of 7.4.1 available, which Amazon snuck in my device immediately <thanks?>. So now I'm back to a plain ol' out of the box KFHD7 without root, TWRP and running 7.4.1 stock rom.
My question is, now that it's on 7.4.1, what is the proper method to get back where I was before with root, TWRP and Kinology? These are the 3 guides I followed before:

The second one actually contains a procedure that goes through everything you need. In a nutshell, first root, then install freedomboot/TWRP, then install Kinology.

I tried your method and get stuck when trying to go to recovery. so i forced recovery with fire flash and chose reboot in recovery. then it showed a yellow triangle with an explanation point giving me two options reboot or reset. I rebooted and didnt try it again. What do I do now? I was attempting to flash Hashcode's ROM but it won't even go into recovery with twrp also the freedom boot didn't occur. If anyone can identify or solve the problem that would be greatly appreciated.

You didn't follow the guide correctly. If you at least did something right, you should've put freedom-boot in the boot partition, and TWRP in the recovery partition. That has to be flashed at the same time, and reboot into recovery. Custom ROMs are flashed afterward, not in FireFlash. What you're stuck at is the stock recovery. My thread in signature, #7, then #6.

Do you see the blue logo at boot? If so, boot into TWRP, and sideload a ROM and flash. TWRP does take a while.

Bootlooping after S-OFF, Root and Clockwork Recovery

Hi,
I have just performed the revone s-off on my phone, then rooted it using PaulOBrien's simple method then finally flashed clockwork recovery.
Everything seemed to work fine and my phone booted perfectly.
Now i have just come to reboot it and it after trying out clockwork recovery has just been non stop boot looping. I can get into recovery fine still but im not really sure how best to proceed with the least pain possible. Im quite happy on the stock rom so dont really want to start again on the phone with a new rom if i can avoid it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Does your phone happen to be a sprint version?

Not quite sure why you followed Paul's method as it is pretty redundant these days. All you have to do is flash the Superuser.zip from CWM for root access...
Can you still get into CWM? If so, flash this via adb sideload:

I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time. Regreting it now tho! :-/
Just tried the adb sideload and all flashed fine but still now working
Any more ideas?! Feeling stupid now!

So I'm assuming CWM recognised the adb sideload and flashed the ROM file and said success afterwards? Might be worth trying CM 10.1 instead of a ROM using Aroma (seeing as it's crap and keeps crashing)

CWM Recovery problems.

Hello, I have the V20a firmware on my P880 and have successfully rooted it. However I am trying to flash the ClockWorkMod Recovery as to be able to continue with putting PA on my device. I have however run into a problem.
I unplug my device from my computer to do a rom backup, I click ok then the screen goes black. After a couple of seconds it seems to boot up however I get shown two lines of red text reading something similar to:
[lge security] boot image not recognized
[lge security] 5 seconds until battery off to save battery life.
After waiting 10 seconds my device boots up fine but I try to boot into recovery and I get the same two lines.
Do I even have a recovery any more and do I need to return to ICS? If so, how?
Thank-you in advance.

This question has already been answere read and search please.......by the way did you unlock the bootloader before flashing new recovery? If yes and you are having problem with recovery then you can flash via Rom Manager from playstore....in case if does not work you can go back to ICS using SnXo Revert back to ICS thread from General Thread here in the Forum.

Then I will persume that you have unlocked the bootloader and having problem with bootimage signature you can try to reinstall the recovery image with the help of Rom Manager if it does not work you can go back to ICS or JB using LG Flash Tool. Threads are in General Thread in this Forum.
Have Fun.

Thats why I asked you when you said '' Rooted and trying to install CWM''
You can use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179126
to go back to ICS first post by @SnXo otherwise have a look at Post # 7 From @RuedasLocas.
When you finished with that Root First, Unlock the bootloader, Install CWM via Rom Manager (best option to install Custom Recovery) and you are
all ready to Install Custom Roms.
Good Luck.
