Can someone direct me to a proper thread which contains information I can use to get SU on Froyo? So far I've just been using the superboot images to install automatically...but seeing as there isn't one yet, I guess Ima try to do it manually.
Thanks.
Paul is working on a rooted update T-~15min.
I'm wondering the same thing, especially because I'd like to use Paul's update with Root access. How were you planning on doing this?

im not such a tech savy but i know a little and want to make sure before i root,
if i root using unrevoked 3.2 for my evo, will the HTC Update on sept 22 # 3.29.651.5, will it effect in anyway ???
please i wanna know before i do something wrong,
Do the update BEFORE you root. If you root and then try to update, you will have problems.
As far as I know there are no issues using unrevoked 1-click to root the new update

Might want to delete this comment before you get flamed to all hell. Go to the development section and look at the stickys up top, tons of great information there. I'd help but I'm getting off right now to go to work
Read a few posts with programs needed to be downloaded to your comp, wonder if there is a simpler way with an app or something.
You want to root or update or both?
Just root I already have the latest update by samsung.
Same here...this is the only thing that's kept me from rooting so far. It sounds pretty involved...nothing like when I rooted my NC. Anyone?
Use Superoneclick 1.9..
just search...
not hard to use whatsoever

I know Roach2010 posted the 3.2 update that was CWM flashable, but I was wondering if I was over looking the 8.6.5.9 or if it just hasn't made it's way on here yet. Keeping my eyes peeled for it. Thanks for any info.

If you use Brk's Rootkit Script, then you can install the 3.6.5.6 version of CWM. It will work. Just do not flash ROOT.
Asus Update
I have CWM on my tab right now and I have it rooted. I was wondering about the update Asus just released. I haven't seen anyone say if just allowing the update would mess anything up or if it works just fine. Roach released a zip that you could install via cwm and since I have a lot of faith in him and most xda devs, I just wanted to see if that option was available. I really just want to nagging update message to go away. Which might be something else to look for, how to disable auto updates.

Hi All, I just got my Nexus one off ebay and it appears its not rooted as i do not see the padlock icon and i also cannot run the nexus torch.
What im looking to do is revert back to the stock software and than do all the OTA updates myself.
Can someone help me with this ? Im not looking to root though.
Im running the ATT version of the Nexus one.
Thanks all for your help.
To be root or not
if you do not see the padlock, then you are root!!
hi, yes i know and i do not see the pad lock so i have a unrooted phone. Im trying to find out how i can install the stock software this way i can do the OTA updates myself.
Thanks
If there's no padlock and you're sure it's not rooted... why do you think it's not already stock?
Well its running gingerbread and i wanted to go back to froyo and than OTA the updates myself
If its not rooted, root it! What version you on currently?

If you don't see the padlock it means the bootloader is still locked. If you don't have the SuperUser app then you are more than likely NOT rooted. Sounds like a stock phone if you ask me. Why do you want to roll back to Froyo then update? Sounds like you are already where you want to be. It sounds like a case of reaching around your ass to scratch your elbow. Heh. If you try to OTA update it and it says you are up to date, I would suggest leaving it alone or just root it! Good luck!

Why? Is there a problem with what is currently installed? If it's working fine, then I would expect downgrading to a previous version and applying the updates would just get you back to where you are now. I'm not criticizing, just trying to understand what you're looking to achieve
If you mean stock as in "original" that isn't Froyo either. The Nexus One originally came with Eclair (2.1). If you don't have root, I'm not sure if you can downgrade or how safe it would be. I've seen mixed results with downgrading. The only way to do a complete flash would be with an unlocked bootloader or root + custom recovery.
If you don't want to root or unlock the bootloader, why not just do a full wipe and use the version you have on it? You could also root it temporarily to restore to an unrooted Eclair or Froyo, then apply the updates.
Thanks Narbir, I'm going to try this. Does it matter I have AT&T ?
I hope So. I m usng Voda uk. Don't really brother me by that.
Well the phone reboots often for no reason so i thought if i started from the factory installed software and go forward it would help.
How hard is it to root to install enclar and than go forward ? Unless someone has another idea for the reboot issue ?
Install the latest stock ROM in PASSIMG format (complete ROM, all the partitions). No need to go back to Eclair or Froyo.
Prepare for the possibility of it not helping at all, and your phone HW being faulty. If you have ADB set up - you can run "adb bugreport" after the crash, and look for "ARM9 has crashed" line in the log dump that comes. If you'll see them - no amount of ROM switching will help.
Not to sound pedantic, but you seem a little confused (OP). Why don't you start by reading the FAQs regarding rooting and unlocking the bootloader, and understanding the ROM installation processes.
Couple of fundamentals to get you started:
1. The padlock (or absence of) is no indication of whether you are rooted or not. It merely indicates whether your 'bootloader' is unlocked or not, which is a completely separate concept from rooting.
2. Easiest method of seeing whether you are rooted is to see if you have the 'SuperUser' app in your app drawer.
If your objective is to install a stock/default ROM, search for a 'PASSIMG' for the latest available firmware for your device. Search these forums or Google it. The procedure is fairly straightforward and only involves putting the file on your SD card - and will restore your phone to a stock usable state.
If you're interested in custom ROMs, the fastest way to get started is to use SuperOneClick to root (Google, please). Then go to the market and download ROM Manager and just follow the instructions!

I don't remember, but I know it was there. If you got root just start going through the directories until you find it. That's what I recalled doing, or use the find command which I think is in busybox.
Anyway, once you find it would you post it? Others might be interested in it too.
Problem solved.
The file is under cache/fota_dn.
If you can, would be awesome if you posted the update here so the devs could maybe wrangle up another delicious flavour of honeycomb....
Cheers....
