i hope this could help you...
You could try fastboot oem boot superboot.img allthough I don't think it will work, we have tried this on the Eris but who knows maybe yours will be different
Any advance on this guys?
If you need my help, just tell me, I'm newbie but I love to take risks!
I tried this method on my HTC.
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY

I waited for few min nothing happen.so un plug the cable it goes to RUU.
And then i insert the cable it rebooted.
What about this?
i'm New
Did anyone try what I said, "fastboot oem boot superboot.img" make sure you have oem in there otherwise it will just hang at booting..... I'm just curouse if it works for you guys.
I have a feeling there stuck on it same as we are, the tattoo and eris are more alike than either to the hero

Yup, tried that. It just boots the phone to it's current (flashed) rom
I tried using the boot command and, while it's hanging at "booting...", I sent a oem boot, but no luck
If it boots to the current flashed rom then it might have worked. you wont notice a physical different if superboot boots.

Interesting. When I get mine (tattoo), I'll try it out. Superboot just allows us superuser access, doesn't it? If we boot with this, then run a Terminal emulator, type 'su', we'll be able to get root (temporarily)?
Im pretty sure thats how it works, im not 100% sure im following this thread closely as we are stuck @ the exact same point on getting the droid eris rooted, better side of 2 months working on it.
The wait for my HTC Tattoo is killing me. I really want to try this out before I go back to school...
I ordered it last week sometime and it's supposedly coming next week... If it all comes to the worse, I'll just try this at school.... Hehe
Alright, I did this, and I think it may get me somewhere.
I did this while on the home screen, with USB debugging enabled. I ran the mac fastboot script, and it booted into the HTC logo screen. It said "Booting..." and got stuck.
After a minute, I yanked the USB cord out, and it dumped me at the RUU screen with text like this in my Terminal:

I have updated my nexus one to Ginger bread image GRI40 from http: //android.clients.google.com/pa...8.656099b1.zip
following this thread http: //forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966939&page=4

and when i do 'adb remount' i get
Code:

Can you please tell me how can I open 'adb shell' to Nexus one
Thank you.
You're not rooted. That's your problem.
If you have rooted earlier, then most probably you need to re-root.

Unlocking the bootloader disables security on the bootloader.
Rooting a phone effectively disables security on the system.
They are not the same thing...
With an unlocked bootloader you can use fastboot to flash a custom recovery, rooted system, or any other image you wish (provided it it's for your phone).

So i have installed GRI40 myself and then have done 'fastboot oem unlock'. What else do I need to do in order to root my phone?
Install custom recovery and flash su.zip through recovery...
It's all in the wiki, and many threads...

Again, I am using the GingerBread build on Nexus One. Ginger bread image GRI40 from http: //android.clients.google.com/pa...8.656099b1.zip
Read post 8 again.
I have gotten the su.zip file from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968396
put it to my sd card. 292KB
And I have booted my nexus one (installed it with ginger bread with a 0.35 HBoot loader).
And when i try to 'apply sdcard:update.zip', I selected the zip file I put in my sd card.
It sid
'Verifying update package...' E:signature verification failed. Installation aborted'.
He did say you have to flash su though...
from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nexus_One/Recovery_Images it said i need to also execute 'fastboot reboot recovery' after I fastboot flash install the recovery rom.
But when i execute 'fastboot reboot recovery' i get

I think the 'fastboot ' command only takes 'fastboot reboot'?
You don't need to rename to update, but it doesn't matter either way. In your custom recovery, select the option to flash any zip and select the su file. If you get a verification error, turn off signature verification in your custom recovery...
The command to boot into recovery is:
fastboot boot recovery.img
(where recovery.img is the name of your recovery file)
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
OK, you seriously don't know what you are doing.
Follow this to the letter:
Flash your recovery.
Pick the bootloader option.
Pick the recovery option.
Download su files from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828
Mount the USB storage
Copy the zip file over.
Unmount USB storage.
Flash the zip you just downloaded.
You might want to flash this file, also, while you are in recovery. It will make sure your recovery doesn't disappear the next time you boot your phone...

I have updated my nexus one to gingerbread 2.3.3. Is there any possible way to root without unlocking my bootloader. Thanks I'm advance.
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
If you can roll back to 2.2, yes. Not everyone can for some reason though. If you're one that can't, then you have to unlock.

Hmmmmm thanks rusty but I think I will wait for a possible way to root rather than unlocking my bootloader. Thanks again.

So i decided to give insertcoin 4.4 rom a go yesterday. flashed twrp 2.6.3.3 via adb flash recovery which worked great.
Clean installed insertcoin kept to instructions no odex etc.... phone rebooted as required got to setup screen an just reboots itself and repeats the same procedure.
I cannot push anything via adb now all sdk is up to date and in correct folders etc.
would try sideload but i cant get any sense out of that. any help on this oh yeah.
hboot 1.54, htc dev unlocked and thought i had s-off but its showing s-on. tried rumrunner with the hope i can fix situation but no joy but the program just ends.
so whats i should route to take follow some tutorials and get back to stock or try a few more times to get it sorted?
edit: I have a backup but its on my laptop and i cannot push it through
ERROR: run rumrunner again and READ (no adb connection to device. Debugging on?
Drivers?)
Press ENTER to exitYes
This is the message I get when trying rumrunner. but there is no way i can enable/disable usb debugging as i cannot boot into the phone
I have tried many different ways to restore the phone but i keep getting remote not allowed error

I thought TWRP 2.6.3.3 was pulled due to some bugs, maybe best to go back to 2.6.3.0
then use adb push or sideload to get a Guru Reset ROM (same or close to your firmware) onto your phone (with ROOT, and without "stock recovery")
and use rumrunner to get s-off.

you cant fastboot flash a ROM. you have to, be in custom recovery, then:

then in recovery INSTALL ZIP -> choose zip -> ViperOne

just installed ADB and tried from command prompt to flash TWRP and i got failed (data transfer failure (unknown error) )
well, you are doing it wrong for a nexus owner, you dont need a root toolkit. to root m you need to flash any custom kernel for m as well as the latest supersu(as well as the latest twrp recovery so you can flash a custom kernel and supersu).
Don't use Root kits and follow these steps. Start from step 1 if you already have your bootloader unlocked and if you have SDK tools installed (adb and fastboot). And you should be fine...
yes wont let me install recovery TWRP

thats because you dont use adb for this. you have to use fastboot while you are in your recovery. read that again, FASTBOOT instead of ADB. you always use fastboot to flash the factory image or any part of it, or twrp recovery.
simms, the command he posted that failed WAS fastboot.
HOWEVER, if adb is reporting devices, you are likely either booted to android or recovery... reboot to the bootloader
(turn off device, then hold volume down and while holding vol down press and hold power until the device boots to the bootloader mode.
Make sure that you have twrp in the same folder, and that you have renamed it to recovery.img (not .img.img as a lot of people accidently do) That last part isn't completely necessary, as its really just "fastboot flash recovery <file name>", and you can replace <file name> with the name of the recovery image it doesn't HAVE to be recovey.img, and it doesn't have to be in the same folder if you include path... but people find it easier to just rename it to recovery.img, copy it to their platform tools folder and use the command you ran.
ahh.. yea @scryan i didnt see that fastboot was used(later in the post). now i see hes uding adb devices instead of fastboot devices.
As far as I can see, you are trying to flash recovery using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img while not in bootloader (or you didn't copy everything you did).
You should:
1. adb reboot bootloader (your phone will reboot into bootloader)
2. now you can write "fastboot devices" to see if your phone is recognized
2. then if it's there: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
EDIT: If you still did everything correctly, quick google search said it could be problem with computer's USB port. Try another port...
I have tried every port on my pc some give unrecognized USB error while others work. If I am able to charge and transfer files along with send adb commands (restart phone,adb sees my phone) does that rule out the USB cable? I bought a pack of four on ebayhttp://m.ebay.com/itm/4x-6Ft-Micro-USB-Charger-Sync-Data-Cable-Nylon-Braided-for-Samsung-Galaxy-HTC-/221891441910?txnId=1650092351012
I no longer have the cable I used to flash marshmallow but I did use this to unlock the device.
