[Q] Can't install any custom recovery Vodafone Nexus One

Hello,
i'm following this forum a long time, now. But at the moment I have a problem rooting my Vodafone Nexus One I can't solve.
It has 2.2.1 (FRG83D) on it. I unlocked the bootloader using fastboot. Now it shows the open lock when booting.
When I try to install a custom recovery using adb or terminal emulator, all looks good. But when i restart and go into recovery menu, always that damn standard menu appears (after putting power on & volume up).
Now I read, that I have to delete the install-recovery.sh in systems/etc and another file, I don't remember right now. I always get an error, when I try to delete or rename them. I tried it using adb, terminal and root explorer.
Does anyone have a clue how I can get rid of them?
Thanks!
Marco

Use fastboot, since you've already gone to the trouble of unlocking your bootloader...
fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img
fastboot boot name-of-recovery.img

You have to remount the system partition as writable.
You only have to delete the install-recovery.sh file. The other one can be left alone.

hey guys, thanks...
i just did it using the following program and steps:
* - Download Superboot and extract it to a directory on your computer
* - Put your device into bootloader mode. You can either use ADB or turn the phone on whilst holding the trackball to enter the bootloader.
* - If on Windows double click ‘install-superboot-windows.bat’
* - If on a Mac, cd into the directory containing the files and type ‘chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh && ./install-superboot-mac.sh’
* - If on Linux, cd into the directory containing the files and type ‘chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh && ./install-superboot-linux.sh’
after that i had to remount it as R/W partition.

Hmm thats strange....
Maybe you will need to reflash the rom to fix...

Is it possible that going in wrong direction or doing something somewhere wrong while installing Recovery will brick my phone ?

BACKUP YOU DATA BEFORE YOU TRY IT!!!:fingers-crossed:

Ok well it seems there was some issue with my phone.
So I thought of repairing it first with PC Companion coz i wanted to be on safe side.
I was successful in repairing my phone.
Everything is fine. but after repairing I lost the root access.
That repair fixed everything.
Now I have couple of doubts which I think should be clear before I proceed for installing custom recovery and gaining root access
1) if I just flash the recovery using flashtool will that be fine? And then flash the SuperSu same way via flash tool.
2) I read in an article, the author there unlocked the bootloader, then flashed the Cwm recovery and then flashed the Doomlord's Advance Kernel with Cwm recovery.
My question is why did the author flashed the kernel again. Can't we just flash the recovery that's it?
And I guess to flash the Doomlord's Advance Stock Kernel unlocking of boot loader ws done? Is it true?
Thanks
Success is never final, failure is never fatal, it's courage that counts.

1- you cant flash recovery or superSU with flashtool, its used only to flash stock roms FTF
2- you can unlock the bootloader and then flash the kernel
But you tried to install using the installed that i gave you after repair the phone?

I didn't do anything...i was going to try your method of flashing FTF stock rom.
so i just connected my phone to pc and then opened PC Companion to make backup of my important files.
Then PC Companion showed me that there is update available for system.
So i just updated my phone, it showed me updates available may be because, i have already removed all the bloatware so i guess to install them again that update was showing up
I went through that update process, and my phone rebooted and every single bloatware was restored back to my phone added i lost root access
at this point of time i think my phone completely free from any issues so its good to start again.
Now i have to start again from the begining.
this is the article i was talking about.

I found what was wrong there - new kernel(C690X_14.4.A.0.157) was locking it.
After downgrading to C690X_14.4.A.0.108 it all worked.

C6903 .157 Z1

Advanced Stock Kernel
Hello there gurus.
Being on a stock fully rooted kernel (14.4.A.0.157) flashed with FlashTool (unlocked bootloader), and thus with stock recovery (ie no custom recovery installed). I went to NUT''s most excellent site and made a “XZDualRecovery 2.8.2 Advanced Stock Kernel” by uploading the kernel.sin file which I got from the FTF file created with FlashTool. This creates a flashable.zip file meant to be installed from inside a custom recovery solution.
My question is then, if I extract the boot.img file from this flashable.zip, could I then flash this image using fastboot ( fastboot flash boot boot.img ) ?
Could I then use that solution to install a CM12 nightly build, which I assume would promptly overwrite what I just did instead of reflashing a CM12 boot.img and go from there?
Would I gain anything at all from doing this instead of just using the Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.8.2-RELEASE.installer.zip package?
I'm so confused now.

Can somebody help me ?
I start the install.bat and press 1 ( i have SuperSU ) and it says " Waiting for Device , connect USB cable now " but when i connect my phone ( C6903 ) i does nothing.

Android 6.0.1 rooting problem

I tried to root my device but I could not. I followed many things but nothing worked. So I tried to install prerooted firmware. Android 6.0.1 - 23.5.A.1.291 version
I got this error message.
[/COLOR]Step3 : Setup of dual recovery.
=============================================
Look at your device and grant supersu access!
Press any key to continue AFTER granting root access.
/system/bin/sh: /system/xbin/su: not found
Press any key to continue . . .
/system/bin/sh: su: not found
I don't get any message on my device about granting root access.
I have xperia z3 compact D5803, Android 6.0.1 - 23.5.A.1.291 UNROOTED version. I want to root my phone and I followed the steps but as you see above there is an error message. I can't continue other steps because of this interruption.
Can you help me for rooting my device?

33- Copy resulting "pre-rooted" fw to /sdcard0 on your phone (it means copy flashable.zip from the PRFC directory to the "internal storage" directory of the phone)
34- Get Dual Recovery installer this time, from http://nut.xperia-files.com/ you want Z3C-lockeddualrecoveryX.Y.Z-RELEASE.installer.zip notice how thats 'installer' this time, not the same file as in 30!
35- Unzip it
36- start install.bat and follow instructions (hit 1 (allow adb/root on the phone as needed)
I could not pass beyond step 36.
Main reason for trying to root my device is when I got the latest update 6.0.1, my phone's volume gone low. Call ringtone volume and video volumes, message tone volumes are very low. I searched it why and found that I have to wipe cache. But I can't because my device is not rooted. That's why I am trying to find a solution.
Can you help?

How-to:
* you need stock MM .575 or .291 firmware
* if you have .291 firmware, you need flash stock kernel.sin (575) via FlashTool and turn on your phone. After, when script done and you reboot in custom recovery, flash SuperSU, then turn off your phone and flash back kernel.sin (291)

Flashmode does not work. Flashtool can't find the kernels. I opened and extracted the zip files(kernel) but nothing changed. Can I use the fastboot method?
(I tried firmware and kernels both zipped and unzipped in the folder but flashtool couldn't see the files)
