I know the Nexus One is getting old, but I have it and an ADB error prevented me from rooting.
I downloaded the latest AndroidSDK.zip (I renamed it) file, found the ADB was removed, so I downloaded ADB. I had my phone on USB debugging. I dumped the ADB files into the AndroidSDK tools folder.
I opened up command prompt and started typing a few commands. I typed-
cd\
cd AndroidSDK\tools\
adb devices
After typing adb devices, it displayed the following error message in place of a serial number-
error: protocol fault <no status>
I tried 2 solutions. I killed the adb server and typed adb devices. Indifference. So I uninstalled my Nexus One drivers and reinstalled them. Still no luck. Does anyone know the solution to this problem?

This is the guide i followed over the weekend and it worked for me... so there's no reason why it wouldn't also work for you. Go through it carefully and see if there's anything you missed.
Nexus One ADB Error
DirkGently, unfortunately I do not have a rooted phone. Does this process work for unrooted phones also?
Are you trying to unlock the bootloader?
Unlocking Bootloader?
Sorry for the late reply-
I am not trying to unlock the bootloader, but rooting the phone. There has been methods that are posted saying phones have been rooted without the bootloader being unlocked. I just need to try and get the ADB error fixed so that I can proceed to root the phone.
Oh, and by the way, is there any way to reset the phone back to unroot?
Yes, you can unroot very easily (there's a guide in the wiki).
Not sure what's happening with the adb - never seen that before. Have you had adb working before? Can you connect with fastboot?

I wanted to turn my HTC Dream Dev phone into a Wifi Tether. I followed the Wiki article and did not realize that I had flashed a T-Mobile .nbh file. I want to restore the Dev Phone back to its original state and remove T-Mobile from my Dev Phone. I removed the T-Mobile.nbh setup file from my SD card, but the device is still booting the T-Mobile Android launch.
It is a 2008 European HTC Dream. I have loved this phone for years. Please help me.
I have searched google for hours now, and no tangible help. I am not a computer science expert and perhaps my search was amateur at best.
What you might need to know:
I had no recovery, backup.
I have AT&T gophone SIM in my Dev before I flashed it.
The Link:
Wiki: -.- cannot post
Question: How do return back to the orginal Dev device and remove the TMOBILE .nbh boot
You can try orange.nbh and place it on your sdcard. Boot while holding camera just like your dreaming .nbh
If thisnt isn't good enough you can either
Flash dev rom from fastboot (must have proper spl)
Flash dev rom from recovery (may not work with curent recovery probably need to flash amonra etc)
By the way you can find the official developers rom (presumibly what you had in xda - search in the dev threads) if you can't find it ill post a link next time I'm by a computer)
Not sure why you want to go back to this as there are many other roms far superior to that old dev rom

I will address the other suggestions tomorrow with proper response.
I do not know anything about programming or modification of cellular technology, however I believe working 10 hours on a problem qualifies me to have a simple understanding.
I tried using the orange.nbh, however the Firmware, Radio and possible other additions did not match the current setup.
I cannot utlize FastBoot on my phone because I do not have proper tutorial information, moreover I tried <enter>something.adb.enable 1<enter> that too failed. I will look for the dev rom first thing in the morning. I have tried to learn how to use fastboot via youtube videos and large forum threads. I hope this will help me tomorrow.
There are better rom(s) out there? Please suggest, I just want to remove a provider restriction from my unlocked Dev phone. I should have never have followed the Wiki. I was happy with no provider and using various gophone SIM cards when plans became cheaper.
I just want this stifling .nph file off my system and back to original dev. If I am feeling bold, I will try to wifi tether my dev phone again.
Thank you for such a quick reply. I am very much in your debt.
Once your phone is sim unlocked (yours was a dev phone so it was) it always will be. The reason changing roms sometimes won't allow you to use other providers is a problem with he apn. Settings and you will have to mannualy change them. Find any rom you like and if your sim won't work then you need to change those apn settings.

After Flash, my phone reads as:
DREA110 PVT 32B
HBOOT-0.95.0000
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.261
Where do I find and how do I install the proper credentials, so my phone is back to the Orange ROM or the ROM you recommend. Thank you again.
I know my phone is not rooted, I tried just downloading a WiFi tether app weeks ago and nothing happened.
Well it was rooted as a dev phone, by flashing the dreaming.nbh you unrooted your phone and downgraded your firmware, radio, spl, and recovery. You now need to upgrade all of this. Sim is still unlocked though.
Continue following those steps in the wiki, but it looks like you may need to flash dreaming.nbh again for it looks as if you update your radio since the first flash
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
I cannot access any normal user interface. I do not have any access to the phone, is it still possible to install fastboot and update without accessing the basic interface on the phone? i.e Settings.
Step 1: Flash DREAIMG.nbh
Step 2: Flash Firmware
Step 3: Flash Radio
Step 4: Flash SPL
Step 5: Flash Recovery
Please edit my terminology if not correct. I know nothing about computers and I am about to pull my hair out. The guides are for someone who has experience with computer software installation from a terminal. I do not.
Would it be better to just get a T-Mobile SIM card and work from there?
My Windows 7 OS is not recognizing my HTC G1 as a mass storage device. Error in reading device properties, may be corrupt.
Windows isn't recognising phone because you need the proper drivers. If you don't want to use adb and fastboot that's ok you don't have to.
Steps-
Put files needed on root of sd card
All will be found in that cyanogen how to root wiki
Dreaming.nbh, radio, danger spl, and amonra recovery
1 boot phone while holding camera (it will find dreming.nbh and say yes after about 5min it will finish and say done
2 boot into phone normally, sign in, download telnet from market
From home screen hit "enter" twice then type "telnetd"
Then open telnet and hit enter then type "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
When done you get ##
3boot into recovery holding home while powering on here you can flash radio hboot and rom
4 flash radio
5 flash spl
6 flash rom (and gapps if needed)
Your done!

That Wiki is what caused the problem in the first place. I have been going back and forth between this guide, the fastboot guide, and the xda-develop guide.
SDK manager does not recognize G1 as the mass storage device. It does not recognize it at all, I cannot run the bypass WiFi. I do not have a T-Mobile provider account and cannot log in to GMail via AT&T SIM.
I have been doing this song and dance for the last 10 hours. I am really frustrated. Should I just buy a T-Mobile SIM card?

However, the computer still does not recognize my HTC G1. I have included in PATH ;C:\android-tools
The terminal does not recognize any location. I have Windows 7 OS.
If you didn't manually point to the drivers windows may have guesses so try plugging the phone in and seeing which driver pops up and then change it to the proper one. Also if you type adb from the cnd make sure it looks good, if it says no such directory you didn't set the patch correctly

What ROM do you recommend I should get?
I cannot thank you enough for you assistance. I really do appreciate everything you have done for me. I think I passed this crash course.
Question/issues solved - thread done!
Picture of M7 screen with information: http://imgur.com/a/l6hIg
Basically, last year I traded this phone for my current phone at the time with a T-Mobile employee.
Got home and reset everything, setup everything to my liking, etc.
I then tried to go through the rooting process and all that but it didn't work (sadly, this was a while ago and I don't remember the exact issue...).
I tried everything I could but nothing worked and so I gave up since the phone was working fine other than it not being 'rootable'.
Fast forward to a couple days ago and I found a great deal on the M8 and have been using it to make sure it is everything the seller said it would be.
Then my friend said he wants to buy my M7 and I said sure but I need some time to backup my stuff and clear/reset the phone.
So the real details/interesting part of the situation is this:
Between when I got the M7 and a couple days ago the performance of the M7 has degraded and by this I mean that I have to restart the phone to get mobile data working (even though the symbol shows 4g/LTE), some apps have randomly crashed (namely Maps but it seems updates have fixed that). When I did try to root and all that, I installed TitaniumBackUp Pro and Root Explorer (here comes the interesting part) - sometimes TPUP has root access and sometimes it doesn't have root access; however, Root Explorer has always worked for what I needed (looking for downloaded files).
So is it possible to somehow properly root the phone and then unroot to make sure everything is good to go for my friend or do I need to just unroot the phone? Or do I simply need to do a factory reset (I am fine with this since I have all my contacts on the M8 already)? I haven't touched any software/rooting stuff since my 1 and only attempt to root the phone.
Sorry for the wall of text and I did try searching for similar posts/threads but couldn't (maybe I searched the wrong words?) and please feel free to ask questions for clarification and I will do my best to respond ASAP! Thank you in advance for your help.

@alray:
Thanks for the quick reply. I will gladly just reset to stock if that's the easiest/best method.
I currently don't have ADB setup on either computer since I haven't been in the rooting game for a long while now.
As of now I'm on my MacBook Pro 13" with Retina display and Mac OSX 10.9.4 and internet connection.
My home Windows desktop currently doesn't have internet due to some issues at home...
So I'm guessing the first thing is to setup ADB on the Mac (if possible?), though I haven't done it before on a Mac.
Thanks.

So you have probably unlocked the bootloader in your attempt to root the phone. When you unlock the bootloader, it wipe users data but it also wipe some preloaded app by HTC in /data/preload. Problem is your friend will not be able to install ota updates with those missing files.
Good news is that there is a ruu for your phone version you could use to reset the phone back to stock and it will also wipe all your personal data at the same time, like if the phone was new (no need to factory reset). The ruu is a .exe file so you'll need a windows computer and because of the hboot version on the phone (1.44) you can't use windows 8.1 to flash the ruu, you'll need windows 7. Because your phone is S-ON, you'll also need to relock the bootloader before flashing the RUU. After flashing it, the phone will be wiped from any user data and ready to take ota updates.
so
relock bootloader:
Code:
fastboot oem relock
download the 1.27.531.11 ruu.exe from here
with the phone booted in bootloader mode or booted in the OS and connected to the windows 7 pc, lauch the ruu.exe and follow simple instructions so the ruu.exe will flash the phone automatically.
sell the phone to your friend

So I tried the bootlock command but then got the following error/problem (see screen shot).
I was either in the wrong mode or did stuff in the wrong order...
What I did:
1) open Terminal app
2) move to the adb/fastboot folder on Mac
3) type in the fastboot oem relock command
4) then received the attached screen shot error/problem.
I have a feeling the problem is going to be a bit tougher to solve than anticipated...
EDIT:
I have managed to screw up my device by doing factory reset and getting rid of the OS
EDIT 2:
I have managed to solve the above issue of no OS by getting CM 10 installed and working.
Now I need to get things back to stock to sell to my friend.

Here is alray's procedure we will use. After you get adb & fastboot installed with the phone connected type the following in a cmd window:
Code:
fastboot getar all
. Post it here except for imei and serialno then we can find a ROM or RUU to flash to get you back to stock.

Here's how to open a command window in the sdk folder:
Hold left shift + right click a blank space inside the folder where adb and fastboot (sdk) are located and select ''Open command window here'' from the contextual menu.
I recently acquired a Sprint M8 that had been upgraded already to lollipop. I have tried every known method and program to unlock it without success. The last program I used (WinDroid) stated that it had done so, however I never saw the screen telling me whether I wanted to unlock or not. The program acts like all is well and it completed its mission. Am I going to have to wait until this program or Hasoon's is upgraded before I can get this phone unlocked? When I use Hasoon's I get the following message at the command prompt:
C:\Users\Brown' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Then it returns back to the directory that the command was run from. Any ideas??

The last program I used (WinDroid) stated that it had done so, however I never saw the screen telling me whether I wanted to unlock or not. The program acts like all is well and it completed its mission. Am I going to have to wait until this program or Hasoon's is upgraded before I can get this phone unlocked? When I use Hasoon's I get the following message at the command prompt:
C:\Users\Brown' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Then it returns back to the directory that the command was run from. Any ideas??

Use HTC dev to unlock the bootloader. After that you can fastboot flash a recovery, then use the recovery to root.
HTC dev unlock will wipe the device but not external SD. If you use the HTC backup, all your settings and apps will come back after you setup the device again. You will lose documents stored on internal storage. Pictures, music, anything. The only thing HTC backup will restore is apps and settings, but it will look exactly the same after it finishes restore.
All HTC Dev does is give me the proper binary file (which I have) to use another program such as WinDroid or Hasoon's program with. That is what puzzles me, the phone is recognized, all drivers are properly loaded and I have the correct code file from HTC Dev, yet it just sits there on the bootloader screen and does nothing even though the program (WinDroid) says everything is done. I get that message (above) when I use Hasoon's program. I tired another program as well, however memory slips at the moment (probably from pulling out my hair).
This phone is raw stock by the way, and is just like it comes from the factory with the exception of it being lollipop 5.0.2

Why not do it the old fashioned way and follow the steps on HTC-Dev?
As a bonus you might learn a couple things and not have to use a toolkit in the future.
Figured it out, I didn't put the binary file in with the data file! Can't find what isn't there!! All is well in my world now!! Thanks for the advice...
