Anyone know how to root Nexus One 2.3.4? I've done a few search but I can't find a full guide for that.
Thank you. Peace.
Since Gingerbreak doesn't work with 2.3.4(IIRC), what you can do is:
1.
- Downgrade to 2.3.3.
- Use gingerbreak to get root, flash custom recovery.
(If you downgraded to froyo, you can root it with z4root or SuperOneClick)
- Get ChainsDD's Superuser in flash-able .zip file. Copy it to SD card.
- Get 2.3.4 OTA update patch, copy it to SD card. If you don't want to lose custom recovery, open zip file with any archive utility, delete /recovery from zip. It will prevent stock recovery from restoring.
(If you downgraded to froyo and rooted, you need to get all OTA patches for upgrading to 2.3.3 and 2.3.4)
- Boot to recovery, flash (modified) OTA update patch. Don't reboot the device yet.
- Flash Superuser.
If you can use any application that requires root permission, you're done.
2. Unlock bootloader, push custom recovery and Superuser.
3. This requires Android Kitchen.
- Downgrade to 2.3.3 and root, flash custom recovery, same as 1.
- Get 2.3.4 system dump here.
- Use Android Kitchen to make rooted stock 2.3.4 package. When it's done, copy it to SD card.
- Backup all your data before proceed.
- Reboot to recovery, flash the package you made.
- Reboot and check. If nothing's wrong, you will have rooted stock with custom recovery.
Or when you're on 2.3.4, go to fastboot, flash a custom recovery, flash the superuser.zip

You need to unlock bootloader to do that.

unlock bootloader will wipe all data on device.
Hi guys, thank you for the tips.
So the best way is tho unlock the bootloader? I have no issue to do that since my warranty is finished. Doesn't matter whether it wipes out my data. I have few questions:
1. After I unlocked my bootloader, can I update any upcoming firmware OTA in the future? Or I have to flash it via sdcards.
2. I've heard about rebooting will unroot the phone. Is it true?
3. How do I unlock my bootloader?
4. Is changing rom will reset the phone to factory setting? Will my phone get unrooted?
Sorry I'm quite a noob here. Peace! Appreciate any helps.
1. With unlocked bootloader you do what you want.
2. No.
3. Read the wiki or a another guide. Mainly get the needed software onto a computer and run fastboot oem unlock when the phone is in the bootloader.
4. Flashing/updating to any rom that does not have root included you will loose root. With unlocked bootloader that is no issue. Flash custom recovery then flash su = root.
Great! Thanks!! I will search for a guide and unlock my bootloader soon!
I just picked up a nexus one unlocked with 2.3.4 stock. I want to downgrade to 2.2.2 or 2.2.1, root it with super one click, then after I get root go to rom manager and get my recovery and then flash a cyanogenmod rom. Saying all that what is the easiest way to downgrade to 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 ???
Thanks

Use passimg.zip. However, if it has really unlocked bootloader, all you have to do is use fastboot to flash custom recovery and any custom rom you want without doing so.

Use passimg.zip, though it depends on your main version saved in bootloader. If you can get FRG33 or FRG83 passimg.zip(though I wonder if you can find it...), use that, then (manually) update them until you reach 2.3.3.
Hey peeps I've unlocked my bootloader and rooted it. So far so good. Thanks for all the helps.

I feel daft; I have unlocked the bootloader but cannot root, how ridiculous is that.. Am on 2.3.4 build GRJ22.
I'm trying to install "Root" (point V) on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636795 but cannot enter the recovery, getting "triangled" for ever & ever.
Please help guys..
(P.S. It is 06:30 here and I've just worked the whole night, that doesn't make anything any easier..)
Not sure what the guide says, but:
Download and place this zip on your SD.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6408470/su-releases/su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip
When connected in fastboot, type:
fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img
fastboot boot name-of-recovery.img
Then flash the su zip - DONE!
Note:
name-of-recovery.img should be replaced with the actual name of the recovery image you have.
The recovery image needs to be located in the same folder on your PC as fastboot.
If your using mac or linux, fastboot may need to be substituted for fastboot-mac or fastboot-linux, etc.

Thanks for the reply!
I think the problem is in that the "recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1" isn't supporting build GRJ22 yet. Doing the above correctly (I think) but cannot boot into recovery.
You think wrong. Do it EXACTLY as danger said.

Woa, easy mate.. Found the problem, I think. There's no SD card in the phone. Would that explain it?
(Need to wait a while now until I can use the girlfriend's..)
SD isn't required to install recovery, but you will need it for the su zip.
What sort of message are you getting when you flash recovery?

Boot loop
Moto x 1060 rooted on 4.2.2 with TWRP 2.7.7.1 installed. I tried to restore. TWRP says restore completed but when I try to reboot into the loop I go. I can access TWRP but nothing else. I have two TWRP recoveries but neither works. My computer doesn't see the phone when connected, so I can't flash. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I restore with TWRP it shows successful. Then when I boot it goes into a loop. I have 2 recoveries and they both do that. MY computer does not recognize it so I cannot flash.

Your computer should recognize it in fastboot mode (NOT TWRP) - you need to be the bootloader screen (AP Fastboot Mode). Follow the guide in general "Return to 100% stock" to flash the entire SBF for your carrier. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DOWNGRADE. Only flash the version you are currently on or higher.
Everything you need is in that thread, including the necessary drivers. If your phone isn't getting recognized it is either because you do not have the drivers installed, OR you are trying to connect when booted in to TWRP. Once again, this is wrong. You restore using your PC from the BOOTLOADER screen, NOT TWRP.

When I am in boot loader mode and try to connect with RSD Lite the phone is seen as "fast boot" connected but nothing I flash works. I have done this before and the phone was recognized but after installing TWRP it is not, nor can I flash anything, it says failed.
Thanks Sam. I got RED lite to work and all is well. Again, many thanks

I cannot flash or install SuperSu or TWRP. I don't really want to install TWRP because that caused the original problem. I need SuperSu but when I try to install it says "there is no SU binary installed". Phone says device is unlocked and Status code 3 and I get the bootloader unlocked warning screen. Should I reflash 4.2.2 and start over?

TWRP does not cause problems - likely your issue was un-related. You cannot install SuperSU without TWRP. You do need to flash TWRP - use the latest version from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/ghost
After you flash it, type: fastboot reboot-bootloader and immediately boot into TWRP. Click exit and it will offer to root for you.
If you insist, you can flash stock recovery back on afterwards which will remove TWRP.
so i was trying to flash a lollipop flash able zip in twrp rotted on 4.4.4 for the xt1064, i didnt work and know all my phone can access is the bootup screen, which goes nowhere, the bootloader and twrp.

You need to push a ROM via adb to a folder that twrp can see when you press the install button.
Google adb push rom
Just reflash a new ROM from recovery. Make sure you use the correctly one. TWRP 2.8.3 is good to go. You can flash it from the bootloader

That link doesn't really solve the OP's issue. I have the same issue. BUT - your link did show me that I can BOOT the .img file, I can't flash the .img file. I've verified the bootloader is unlocked by the fastboot getvar command.
I'm not sure what to do next. Installing OpenGapps causes a boot loop and the only thing I can do at this point is a factory reset with the OEM recovery since in the boot loop adb is unresponsive.

The instruction shows how to flash recovery.img with TWRP though I have no clue how to do it.
I got that error the first time I did it, it was because of a misspelling of the command.
If you already unlocked the bootloader, while in fastboot, you only type "fastboot boot" + "path to twrp img on computer" OR instead of typing out the path, you may drag and drop the file into the command window.
Once it boots to twrp, flash twrp from within the booted img. That ensures you have permanent twrp.
If you were able to unlock your bootloader, the only thing stopping you from loading twrp is improper spelling and path to the img. Almost every error I have seen is from not following the directions.

OK, just so I understand correctly, the proper sequence of events is to use fastboot to boot TWRP (which I can do) then, once in TWRP, I can then flash the twrp .zip file, right? Does anyone know if the LG's bootloader overwrites the recovery partition upon boot (in other words, do I have to boot straight to recovery after I flash to ensure it sticks?)
Sorry for the obtuse questions, I've got a lot of experience with Samsung flashing back in the KK and LP days, but not MM.
Thanks in advance!!

So you have flashed 20i which overwrites twrp with the stock recovery.
You then go through the steps for unlocking the boot loader.
After the boot loader is unlocked, you may boot into twrp with the fastboot boot command.
When that boots into twrp, flash twrp from within that to have it stick.
Have a question and maybe someone can help. Me getting carried away installed twrp from external partition. Now i cannot boot into recovery. Tried flashing using flashify and twrp manager. but flashify does not install after reboot and there is no option for h811 in twrp manager. Anyway to fix this?

Yes, that's exactly the steps I do. I've flashed 20i. I used fastboot to boot into twrp. I then "install" the twrp zip file. Says it flashes with no issues. I then reboot the phone. Still has stock recovery.
I've confirmed my bootloader is unlocked with the fastboot getvar all. I've also tried all three versions of twrp available (.1, .2 and .3) and still doesn't work. Yet twrp works fine if I boot it.

How did you confirm you have stock recovery? Did you use adb reboot recovery? Or did you use hardware keys to boot to it? Because if you use hardware keys you still get the initial confirm factory reset. You just have to accept then it boots to twrp.

After that cant do it again unless I re-flash. Same thing happens if I flash it from within twrp. Can use terminal, su, boot recovery and I am in., or ADB/fatsboot Primarily worried about a soft brick condition. H-811, v1 20i stock, unlocked bootloader and rooted. DE-bloated,
Any Ideas, Thanks

You drop the twrp file
In fastboot folder open command prompt and flash twrp first just rename it simply to recovery.img while in the fastboot folder
Type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Or just fastboot flash recovery.img
Then it should boot you into twrp
Once booting into twrp flash the supersu zip in your internal sd
Once you have root and reboot all you have to do is use flashify app and download twrp from the app and flash it Twrp sticks from there.

Is it possible to install TWRP with your device running the Nougat beta ?
The recovery is separate from the firmware. So I don't see why it wouldn't be possible. Root on the other hand I wouldn't know but I suppose the SuperSU beta zip file flashed with custom recovery would get the phone rooted.
If it was a kernel being flashed then that would matter as it affects the firmware (as it replaces the stock kernel).
Yep. You can install a custom recovery, even if you accidentally wipe your system, the custom recovery will still be there. (I have experience) I think that, if you can find the right supersu zip file for your phone, you should be able to root your phone.

Already tried this, since installing the Nougat beta my PC only recognises my phone when in recovery mode. I installed TWRP but phone still boots into the original erecovery and not TWRP
Did you install with with fastboot? or from within the phone? Because you have to reboot to recovery pretty much right after flashing it. Try re-flashing twrp from inside the phone with flashify, then reboot to it immediately afterwards. (Get the 3.0.2-0 (or higher) version for your phone)

Yes installed with fastboot, I manually booted into recovery (volume up + power button) right after flashing it. I thought flashify requires root ??
Wait, you updated to 7.0 without root? Did you use the normal updater? Because if so, try finding a way to downgrade again. Maybe that will work

Yeah, I just flashed the update using the dload method. The main reason I want to install TWRP is so i can downgrade. I've tried using the dload method to downgrade however it doesn't work.
For the dload method, I think you have to flash stock recovery first

I am currently using stock recovery and it still won't let me downgrade, the update reaches 51% then an error occurs. Would it be possible to flash downgrade firmware using fastboot ?
I believe you can, but you should check online to see if it is.

Ok. Good luck!
Same problem here, I installed a leaked Nougat beta for the Honor 8 via TWRP and when I tried to get back to TWRP it wouldn't let me. I've tried to flash it again via fastboot but I can't boot into it :/
I have this problem too after Flashing Nougat.
I have already flashed twrp recovery via fastboot, installation complete. But I cant boot into recovery mode.
I have never had this kind of problem before. If you tried a cold boot (Hold volume up + power), try typing "adb reboot recovery" instead (or the other way around, if you've done that)
Hello.
I came from z3.
For z3 to get in recovery with N u have to hold down vol button and insert cable. Charger or PC
