How do I root a Stock N1 FRF91?

Hi Guys
I agree there are TONS of threads on this forum, but somehow, not all of them describe the same steps (or maybe just that I'm a little too confused)
I have a stock unlocked N1 with FRF91 and would like to root my phone
Basically the whole idea behind rooting my N1 is to be able to use ShootMe (screenshot app)
Can someone please give me some step-by-step instructions on how to do it?
I'm actually a n00b at Android, so any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!

I don't think there is a way yet with stock.

I'm glad we agree.
I'll give you a hint, though. You need to find two threads to do what you need. Both the threads that you need are in the first page of the dev forum. The mere act of glancing over the titles of the thread won't get you anywhere, try reading some of them for a change.
EDIT-I take it back, there's only one thread you need to find. And considering how prominent a position it's holding in that forum, it's plain obvious that you haven't bothered to look.

The whole point of these forums is to help people out, not to degrade them. They might be new to the site and dont know how its set up. Try not being a jerk and actually help them out. You know like direct them to the thread w/ a link.

Thanks buddy. I'll try to search a little more to see what thread applies for my situation at the moment.
I am sure that erikikaz must've gone through the thread that he/she thinks applies to me, but a link to it would've been a lot easier.

No, I didn't go through the thread before deciding to not link it. I just know that the thread is there. If you had looked for it, you would have seen it. The previously-mentioned thread has been stickied in the previously-mentioned forum for at least a week now. Considering that stickied topics are an obvious READ-ME-FIRST tactic, well, you should have known better and actually looked.
And yes, it would have been a lot easier--a lot easier for you, had I posted the link. Waiting for someone else to do the work for your is not how you learn.

[Q] Rooting htc Hero on 2.1 (not Sprint)

Okay guys, I have scoured the internet and these forums trying to find a solution to my problem, but I have not come up with anything yet. I have followed the directions exactly for the Sprint version of the rooting for 2.1 on an htc Hero and everything is fine until I get to the command:
sh /sdcard/unrevoked
Now it does it's thing with this and I get the next Unpacking, please wait... And then the huge UNREVOKED, but after this in everything that I have seen it should say "Ready to 'su'." Yet it never does. It just goes back to the "$" and that's where it sits. I checked the phone just to make sure and see if the superuser permissions app was there... and it's not. Am I missing something? I didn't get any errors before this, but can't get that app installed. Ugh, so frustrated...

So no ideas from anyone, huh? Darn, and here I was hoping someone would at least have something for me to try.

I am confused, you said in the thread title you want root for 2.1 not sprint but then you go to mention this;

Andrewb84uk,
Good question, but the statement I made still holds true. The phone I have is not using the Sprint ROM but it is a CDMA phone, so I was hoping that the rooting exploit for Sprint would work for the company that I am through as well (which happens to be a carrier called Cellcom located in Wisconsin). So Yes, I do not have a Sprint Hero, but I also do not have a GSM Hero either. Just hoping that since I can't find rooting for any other carriers, something might have worked...

That's okay. Thanks for even responding! I appreciate it.

If your phone is CDMA, then I would post over at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=650
I can move this if you want (I think), but you might as well just open a thread over there and explain the issues.
In GSM Hero, we tend to refer to all CDMA hero's as being Sprint Heros (since Sprint was first to release it IIRC)

I tried out a few of the different rooting techniques and have still had no luck. It's kinda frustrating. I guess that's one of the downsizes of having so many devices with the same platform. You can root for one device, but it certainly won't work for all, or all the different carriers either. Couple more to try before I decide to give up and pack it in. Never had this much trouble with my other phone...

SOLVED!!!

Wow, thank you. This seems to have worked beautifully. I am now rooted and have the Super User Permissions application on my Hero. Kudos for the link and the creator of the apk!

Is there a classified section?

Is there a buy or sale section?
I really want an htc touch pro 2 for Sprint.

There's an xda marketplace, you can't miss it.

You should be okay. It says the minimum requirement is 8 posts.

Looks like it's working now. Thank you for the help.

Minimum raised to 10 as far as I know (or will be)

I have enough posts either way.

going to bump this thread opposed to creating a new thread.
i have read the rules, have more than 10 posts, and been a member for sometime (just never posted much). thats back when i had my VZW D1. went bb8130-bb9630-D1-bb9630-now want back to another VZW android.
trying to get back to the classifieds to trade a brand new pair of sennheisers 450pxc noise-canceling headphones for a android device.

No, but on stock ROM rooted you will still get the notification and it will still download but it will fail to install.

As long as you have a stock recovery and not a custom one you can take an OTA. You will probably loose root though.

How are you going to ask that but then not see his reply about him apologizing for not seeing it because he got the notification and came straight here. So get the hack out of this thread and quit trying to be cool by an attempted flame that already apologized AND answered your "flaming question" before you even ask it but then you ask why he didn't see something?

haha for real? here's a response formatted in the long run-on sentence structure that you like to use because I fear if I don't use it you won't get my point.
"How are you going to flame me but then go on to say that it's not cool to flame when you clearly don't understand what the point of pointing out this kind of lazy behavior is? So go troll somewhere else and quit trying to be some sort of pseudo mod by trying call out legitimate criticisms of other users because you don't understand that apologizing for doing something wrong while performing it doesn't make it right ESPECIALLY considering the facts the OP gave us about not turning his phone on for a week. Who would come on here and assume they are the first to get an update without thoroughly checking? and make a thread in the dev section so rashly? The OP would. So I called him out on it. So he won't be inclined to make the same mistake twice. I can only hope that this post will be as beneficial for you.
good day.

Atleast he is trying to contribute by uploading files.... Can't be mad at that even tho he's a little late to the party. It could have been much worse with a what's the best 4.3 ROM or a install question thread.

Well hot dang....
I am currently on trip and have not turned on my phone on for the benefit of my family. I was in the airport when I first turned it on to see what I missed. Since it came up when I turned it on, I came here first as I've been dying for an update and I was willing to bet that others were in the same boat. I did what I would normally do with updates and download them and upload them somewhere for safe keeping. Then came here and posted my screenshots and moved on. It wasn't until I got into the plane that I saw that its been about a week, that its been out, and that development goes on with or without me. Sure I didn't have to apologize in advance and sure I didn't have to put the disclaimer at the bottom that if what i posted up was old news then please delete. I would of been fine with the thread being deleted or moved in which case it was. I've been here for so long and have contributed to numerous threads and development to know that if something new comes out, jump on it and share the info with the everyone. It wasn't to flame on the threads, it wasn't to spam and clutter the dev section. The mere fact that this happen show immaturity.
A simple note saying please move thread to general discussion would of suffice, not bring hatred and ignorance into a community that is devoted to acquire knowledge and to share it.
While some of us don't have that pleasure to get updates first, I have been blessed with having on time or in Moto case, Moto feedback team which I have always participated in. Again plain and simple I tried to help by providing info and supply for devs out there to work on. Yes It would of been simple for me to thorough look thru the threads and see whats been going on. And I did that after posting and did see that I was not first. Thats fine. It wasn't laziness that brought this, it was something that jumped on in the hopes to help out. But take the hatred else where as if your going to take offence in someone trying to help then you dont belong here, plain and simple.

Old ROM request: wcx sense 3.6

Hey all, just wondering if anyone has the zip file of wild child's ROM lying around. The website has been down for months now, no sign of coming back up (I have been registered for a while, but that didn't help now). I did find an old nand backup of it, but as one might expect, it experiences issues that are likely due to changes in my file system.
I'm also open to any ideas of somehow building the ROM back up from said backup.

I have a copy. Sort of...
I can't remember why they are called "mod". I had flashed this to my Canadian Vivid (HTC Raider) and didn't use it for too long. These copies were passed on to me by another forum member (as back in that day, WCX's roms were not to be posted here). I remember him telling me that the difference between "old" and "new" are simply design features. If he/she objects to me posting these, I will have to take them down (I asked via PM a few days ago and haven't received a response yet).

thank you! This is fantastic! If I remember correctly, mod meant that WC had the phone overclocked, or was using a different kernel or something.

Also remember that wcx rom was different from the others. I think kernel had to be flashed manually / separately regardless of bootloader unlock/s-off status.

My apologies for bumping up a rather old thread, but I've not really found anything more recent. I'll reiterate the request that was originally posted: does anyone have a copy of the old WCX Illuminati ROM for the HTC Vivid? It was the first one I ever used, and I've gone through several others since then, but frankly none of them worked as well as that one did... but sadly I can't find a copy of it anymore.
If necessary, please feel free to PM me with a link, to avoid posting a 'live' link.
