EPE54B (new N1- AT&T) -> FRF50 -> FRF83 & beyond (hopefully) in 20 minutes
and FROYO IS AWESOME !!! Believe me , it's really worth making this effort .
Ok guys , I think it's time for me to contribute some documentation for the XDA forum. As mentioned in the Topic's header , I moved to Froyo y'day night and wanted to share the process with the AT&T N1 ppl on the forum who are ready to unlock the bootloader but are lazy/frightened to go about the so-called lengthy process.
I am a new N1 & a new android user (just a month old ) who has spent sleepless nights like some of the people in this forum and most of the people (here) waiting for the Froyo OTA to hit their N1's. After a 3 week sleep disorder I finally went in for the kill. Thanks to Paul for his guide and others in the forum because of which,this it was accomplished in just 20 minutes.
AT&T N1 (EPE54B) owners who are bold enough to unlock their boot loader ... here's the way to glory.
Senior XDA members please correct the process if you feel something is not right.
I will be using most of the info provided by Paul in his post (here) and I hope he wouldn't mind , if I use his info.And believe me guys , it seriously takes only 20 minutes.
DISCLAIMER
1) I do not take credit for any of the stuff posted here. It's mostly from Paul's guide and other sources. All credits go to the original up-loaders.
2) This is a step-by-step guide which I have prepared from the process I have followed to reach FROYO and am not responsible if it doesn't work for you.
2)You agree that by doing this process, I'm not responsible for any bricked devices.
Unlocking the bootloader will void your warranty.
This process will erase all of your phone's data.
INITIAL SETUP
1) Download android-sdk_r06-windows.zip
2) Unzip to C:\ drive so it looks like C:\android-sdk-windows\
3) Run SDK Setup.exe
4) In the screen that pops out - Double click everything so it has a red X except for green check mark next to "USB Driver Package"
( which means just have to install the USB Driver)
5) On you Nexus 1 - Navigate to 'Settings -> Application -> Development -> enable USB debugging'.
6) Connect your nexus one to the computer through the USB cable provided with your phone.
7) Wait for the PC to install the device driver.
- If it doesn't then --- 'New Hardware Found -> Point the install location to C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver\'
8) Once the driver is found and installed ; On your computer open a command window. 'start -> Run -> type 'cmd' -> hit 'ENTER'.
9) On the command screen: Type "cd c\" ; Hit 'ENTER' key
10) Then Type: "cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" ; Hit 'ENTER' key
11) Type: adb devices ; Hit 'ENTER' key
- It should say something similar to "HT123P123456 device" (this is your phone's serial number).
- If it says "cannot find" or "invalid path" etc, make sure you're typing *exactly* what the green text above says.
- If it says something else, try to reinstall the USB Driver package and restart your PC.
12) If it works, your PC is correctly recognizing the phone. Continue on to the next step!
UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
1) Turn off your nexus one.
2) Press and hold the trackball and also press the power button ( while still holding the trackball pressed).
3) A white screen with three droids at the bottom appears.
4) A RED background highlights "FATSBOOT" which changes to "FASTBOOT USB" in a second or two.
5) Now, On your computer open a command window. 'start -> Run -> type 'cmd' -> hit 'ENTER'.
6) On the command screen: Type "cd c\" ; Hit 'ENTER' key
7) Then Type: "cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" ; Hit 'ENTER' key
8) Now on your computer; TYPE: fastboot devices
- It should say something similar to "HT123P123456 fastboot" (this is your phone's serial number). If it doesn't say this, something is wrong.
- If you are typing fastboot devices and it just returns a blank line or ???????? (ie Windows 7 64-bit users), try using USB drivers in the PdaNet install:
http://www.junefabrics.com/android/download.php
9) If it shows the device number , then you are set to go.
10) On the command window opened previously ; TYPE: fastboot oem unlock
11) Read the screen carefully. If you click on unlock it will wipe all your DATA!! and also Unlock your phone .
12) Use the volume control keys on your nexus one to switch options and then press the power key to select the option.
13) An "unlocked padlock" appears while booting and YAY!! you are unlocked!!!!
14) Shut down your phone and boot into the boot loader ( Trackball pressed + power button )
INSTALL(FLASH) RECOVERY
1) Download the latest Amon_RA's recovery img from here
2) move it to "C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" .
3) On your computer open a command window. 'start -> Run -> type 'cmd' -> hit 'ENTER'.
4) On the command screen: Type "cd c\" ; Hit 'ENTER' key
5) Then Type: "cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" ; Hit 'ENTER' key
6) On you computer's command window -- Type: fastboot devices and make sure your device's number is showing up.
7) On you computer's command window -- Type: fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.img
8) It should say: sending 'recovery' (3962 KB)... OKAY . . . . . writing 'recovery'... OKAY This should take a few seconds.
9) If flashing the recovery was successful, use the menu options to boot directly into recovery, or restart your phone normally.(without going to the bootloader screen).
Rooting
1) Download the nexus-addon-0.1-signed.zip from here.
2) Copy the file onto your SD card. ( It should be in the root folder of your SD card i.e don't put it under any directories).
3) Shut down your nexus one
4) Boot into the boot loader ( Trackball pressed + power button )
5) Press the power button once ( quickly and for a very short time ).
6) The screen changes and you move to the Fastboot screen.
7) Do Not do anything for about 8-10 seconds. It scans for some files and returns to the "FastBoot Screen"
8) Now use the "volume down" button to select "Recovery" and press the power button.
9) Do this step only if you didn't use Superboot: Use trackball -> "Flash zip from from sdcard" -> nexus-addon-0.1-signed.zip
- If you get a Triangle with a ! in the middle alongside an Android for 5+ minutes, you MAY have to remove battery and re-flash recovery (I had to do this once.) (Make absolutely sure that nothing is happening on your phone, as removing the battery when it's doing something can cause a brick.)
- Alternatively, try the optional Superboot method, and then re-flash Amon_RA's recovery image.
10) Select Reboot.
Phew .. that was hard ... but here comes the best part !!!
INSTALL FRF50 with Radio
1) Download the FRF50 with Radio zip file from here (Paul's FRF50 ROM).
2) Copy the file onto your SD card. ( It should be in the root folder of your SD card i.e don't put it under any directories).
3) Rename it to update.zip and make sure it's not "update.zip.zip". ( if you have the extension names off ).
4) Shut down your nexus one.
5) Boot into the boot loader ( Trackball pressed + power button )
6) Press the power button once ( quickly and for a very short time ).
7) The screen changes and you move to the Fastboot screen.
8) Do Not do anything for about 8-10 seconds. It scans for some files and returns to the "FastBoot Screen"
9) Now use the "volume down" button to select "Recovery" and press the power button.
10) The phone now boots into Recovery.
11) Use your phone's "Trackball" to Navigate and press the "trackball" to execute the selection.
12) Run the following
a) Backup/Restore -> Nand backup
b) Wipe -> Wipe data/factory reset
c) Wipe -> Dalvik Cache
13) Then press the "volume down" button to return to the main recovery screen.
14) Now , select "Flash zip from sdcard" and in the next screen select the "update.zip" file.
15) You get an "install completed" message after about 15-20 seconds.
16) Reboot and you are into the wonderful world of "FROYO".
FRF50 -> FRF83
1) Ok, now I think you are already enjoying your delicious dessert. Let's add some strawberries to it.
2) Download the PAUL modified FRF50 -> FRF83 zip file from HERE.
3) Connect your phone to the USB cable and mount the card.
4) Remove the existing update.zip file from the SDcard.
5) Copy the downloaded FRF83 file into the SDcard's root folder and rename it to "update.zip".
6) Shut down your nexus one.
7) Boot into the boot loader ( Trackball pressed + power button )
8) Press the power button once ( quickly and for a very short time ).
9) The screen changes and you move to the Fastboot screen.
10) Do Not do anything for about 8-10 seconds. It scans for some files and returns to the "FastBoot Screen"
11) Now use the "volume down" button to select "Recovery" and press the power button.
12) The phone now boots into Recovery.
13) Select "Flash zip from sdcard" and in the next screen select the "update.zip" file
14) Wait for the most annoying 15-25 seconds and reboot.
15) VOILA , you are on the latest and greatest android update for Nexus one.!!!!
I think I'll wait, but excellent work on putting all of that together!
Thanks for the step by step. I believe another approach is to not root (just unlock the bootloader) and to flash back to the TMO ROM and use the leaked official updates. I'm trying to determine which to do.

As far as the info goes from this forum .. I came to know that unlocking the bootloader will void warranty. SO I felt that it's worth rooting the phone after unlocking it as we have advantages like Titanium backup and a lot more ...
I did a similar procedure, flashing my phone to ERE54B--->ERE27-->FRF50-->FRF83
I unlocked the bootloader/rooted in the process, but in the end I end.. I installed FRF50--FRF83 to my unrooted nexus one on ATT.
I wish I had tried applying the ERE27 original ROM to my phone with a locked bootloader, I don't know if it would of worked or not.
Either way, I am an ATT Nexus one on FRF83. It's quite nice
Nice instructions, good job compiling!
However, there is no need to flash FRF50 first, and then FRF83. You can just flash Paul's FRF83, and the radio separately.
AvengerBB, a prerequisite of Amon_RA's recovery image is a rooted phone. I am not sure exactly why it requires root, though.

It wouldn't have.
Just to clarify for me..
I understand unlocking bootloader is what 'voids' your warranty is required to root. It is also not possible to 'undo'.
Is having a 'rooted' phone what prevents you from getting OTA updates, or is having an unlocked bootloader?
If you have a phone with an unlocked bootloader, but not rooted... does google/android OS know any different? (Not warranty claims, but for S/W updates)?
Basically, if/when the ERE54B-->2.2 Update goes official, can I flash back to ERE54B and get the 'original' upgrade intended for my phone if I unroot it. Or will I from here on out have to manually update my phone?
Would you guys PLEASE take a look at this and tell me if you are having this trouble too!
nice work, very well documented, glad someone did this. Thank you.
I think I will continue to wait out the official OTA, but if I get antsy this weekend I know where to come for instructions.
stick this thread!
I have a rooted and bootloader unlocked AT&T version nexus one and I have already installed the FRF50 WITHOUT the radio. Should I go back and reinstall FRF50 with the radio before upgrading to FRF83? On by current build the phone sometimes doesn't reconnect to AT&T service once it has lost service and I need to restart the phone. Does Paul's FRF50 ROM have a radio that supports AT&T? Kinda a noob, sorry. Thanks in advance for the help.

You need to flash the newer 12_7 radio. The radio image remains the same for ATnT or T-mobile, the actual frequencies are decided by hardware. No need to re-flash FRF50 - just flash the new radio from here - http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/nexus/radio-4.06.00.12_7.img
You can use "fastboot flash radio radio...img" command to flash it. After flashing new radio, flash FRF83. It is highly recommended that you flash only compatible OS and radio versions.
Man
I have followed all the steps but when I go to flash the update from the sdcard it gives me the an error that says there is no signature and install aborted. What could this be from? I have tried those steps again and again. Please help.

You can't re-lock the bootloader without being very lucky, you need an S-OFF SPL. Just having an unlocked bootloader won't effect your ability to get OTA updates, it's custom ROMs and recoveries that do that.
If you're going through all that trouble, just use Paul's superboot to FRF83.
Finally got it to work! It didn't fix my video recording bug though. When I switch from camera to video it just freezes and reboots. Did they ever find a workaround for this? I would appreciate the help.
Shouldn't need a work around, mine doesn't suffer from it.

Arent you guys facing troubles with this radio?
My gps is innacurate... i think that is because of the radio image!
If with the oficial froyo it does not is fixed i will flash back my 4.04 radio!
Take a look at this to read about my trouble please!
Need some help. Everything worked up to this point.

I didn't get an "install completed" message. Instead it says, "Reboot via vol-up+vol-down or menu to complete installation." Then when I reboot it goes to the android falling out of the box image, and then boots back into recovery. I can restore with the nand backup just fine, but this method doesn't seem to work for me. I believe it's the damn radio upgrade that is causing the problems because right before the reboot it says "Writing radio image...". Anybody else experienced this?

Have you tried doing "Reboot phone" after it boots back into recovery?
Ok, so to start out with I was on Unrevoked2 v2(4g was untouched)...
Market wasnt working right, so I decided I wanted to start over.
I followed whitslacks (How to start over: Fully rooted stock 1.47.651.1 in one shot (no adb!)) post to the T and I am now on the most current OTA with updated Wimax and rooted. I checked my 4g Mac address before and after and it stayed the same.
-Now I was not NAND unlocked, so I started off with toasts ([TUTORIAL] How To Unlock Nand Protection ~ Part-2 [Gaining RW Access/Full Root]).
-I "did not" do a nandroid restore as listed at the end of toasts method,
-I rebooted into hboot
-Select recovery
-Enable usb
-Put the new OTA PC36IMG.zip(PC36IMG-1.47.651.1_eng-hboot_RA-1.7.0.1.zip) on the sd card
-Disable usb
-Then proceeded to follow whitslacks guide.
Now I have a properly NAND unlocked, rooted EVO with the newest OTA.
I want to thank toast and whitslack deeply!!
whitslack said:
This method has now been updated using the newly released 1.47.651.1 RUU. The portion of this post in light gray is kept for historical interest only.
This PC36IMG.zip contains a complete set of firmwares from the latest RUU (hboot, boot, recovery, system, userdata, microprocessor, radio, and WiMAX), except the HBOOT has been replaced with the one from the engineering build (to give you unlocked NAND) and the recovery has been replaced with Amon RA 1.7.0.1 (so you can flash updates signed with the test keys).
Note: This process will only work if you already have the engineering HBOOT. (If you have NAND unlocked, you already have it and can proceed confidently.) If you'd like to check the actual version, you can boot into HBOOT and look near the top of the screen: it should say HBOOT-0.76.2000, not 0.79.0000. If you have 0.79.0000, you will need to do Toast's Part 2 first before starting here.
Download this file, rename it PC36IMG.zip, and put it on the root of your SD card however you like.
PC36IMG-1.47.651.1_eng-hboot_RA-1.7.0.1.zip (md5=1ae574c403e9a2694de97706391255c0)
Power off your phone.
Hold down the Volume Down and Power buttons until the white screen appears.
HBOOT will scan the PC36IMG.zip file. You'll see a blue progress bar on the right side of the screen.
When it's finished scanning, it will ask if you want to start the update. Press the Volume Up button to answer Yes.
Wait a while for it to flash all the images.
When it finishes and asks if you want to reboot the device, press the Volume Up button to answer Yes.
After the phone has rebooted, delete the PC36IMG.zip file from your SD card.
Download this file to your SD card:
su-2.1-e-unsecure-signed.zip (md5=a055c916168db7e61a75a37a13993cd6)
Power off your phone.
Hold down the Volume Down and Power buttons until the white screen appears.
If you forgot to delete PC36IMG.zip from your SD card, HBOOT will scan it again now. When it asks if you want to start the update, press Volume Down to answer No. When it asks if you want to reboot, press Volume Down again.
Now you should be at the HBOOT menu. Press Volume Down to move the selection to RECOVERY and press the Power button to select it.
In a moment, you'll be at a different looking menu.
Using the Volume and Power buttons as before, select "Flash zip from sdcard."
Select su-2.1-e-unsecure-signed.zip from the list and follow the prompts to flash it.
When that's finished and you're back at the menu, choose "Reboot system now."
You should now have root, unlocked NAND, working WiMAX, and great battery life.
After you've done this procedure, this is how you make changes to /system:
Here's how you can tell if you're royally boned:
~~~~~ beyond this point is for historical interest only ~~~~~
If you're looking for a way to have working WiMAX with the 1.47.651.1 update and keep your root access, try this. It exhibits some interesting behavior at the end that is not seen with other update methods, which leads me to believe that this method does correctly upgrade the WiMAX.
There is confirmation that this method yields a working WiMAX/4G. And screen grabs.
Step 1: Revert to the initial release of everything
This PC36IMG.zip contains all the original firmwares from the first released RUU (hboot, boot, recovery, system, userdata, microprocessor, touch panel, radio, and WiMAX), except the HBOOT has been replaced with the one from the engineering build (to give you unlocked NAND) and the recovery has been replaced with Amon RA 1.7.0.1 (so you can flash updates signed with the test keys).
Note: This process will only work if you already have the engineering HBOOT. (If you have NAND unlocked, you already have it and can proceed confidently.) If you'd like to check the actual version, you can boot into HBOOT and look near the top of the screen: it should say HBOOT-0.76.2000, not 0.79.0000. If you have 0.79.0000, you will need to do Toast's Part 2 first before starting here.
Download this file, rename it PC36IMG.zip, and put it on the root of your SD card however you like.
PC36IMG-1.32.651.1_eng-hboot_RA-1.7.0.1.zip (md5=413285641ee70e8c197f38cea649205b)
Power off your phone.
Hold down the Volume Down and Power buttons until the white screen appears.
HBOOT will scan the PC36IMG.zip file. You'll see a blue progress bar on the right side of the screen.
When it's finished scanning, it will ask if you want to start the update. Press the Volume Up button to answer Yes.
Wait a while for it to flash all the images.
When it finishes and asks if you want to reboot the device, press the Volume Up button to answer Yes.
Your device is brand new again, except you have unlocked NAND and a custom recovery.
Delete the PC36IMG.zip file from your SD card.
Note: You will not have root at this point. This is to be expected, as you are running a totally stock system partition now. The key is that you have a custom recovery installed, meaning you can apply the su-2.1-e-unsecure-signed.zip update as described below, which will install the su and Superuser.apk files (i.e., give you root access).
Step 2: Rapid-fire updates
Download these three files to your SD card:
su-2.1-e-unsecure-signed.zip (md5=a055c916168db7e61a75a37a13993cd6)
OTA_Supersonic_1.32.651.6-1.32.651.1_rootsafe.zip (md5=7ecc89be93b3834babd782ca17e97b39)
OTA_Supersonic_1.47.651.1-1.32.651.6_rootsafe.zip (md5=1326bf00bcdcb6937a8cccd2a82c69fb)
Power off your phone.
Hold down the Volume Down and Power buttons until the white screen appears.
If you forgot to delete PC36IMG.zip from your SD card, HBOOT will scan it again now. When it asks if you want to start the update, press Volume Down to answer No. When it asks if you want to reboot, press Volume Down again.
Now you should be at the HBOOT menu. Press Volume Down to move the selection to RECOVERY and press the Power button to select it.
In a moment, you'll be at a different looking menu.
Using the Volume and Power buttons as before, select "Flash zip from sdcard."
Select su-2.1-e-unsecure-signed.zip from the list and follow the prompts to flash it.
When that's finished and you're back at the menu, select "Flash zip from sdcard" again, choose OTA_Supersonic_1.32.651.6-1.32.651.1_rootsafe.zip, and follow the prompts to flash it.
You will now be updated to 1.32.651.6.
Ignore the warning that says "ignoring attempt to do multiple firmware updates."
It will say "Reboot via menu to complete installation." Do as it says and choose "Reboot system now" from the menu.
Now the first radio baseband update will be installed. Don't touch anything. The phone will reboot on its own, and you'll wind up back at the recovery menu.
Choose "Flash zip from sdcard," select the second OTA update, OTA_Supersonic_1.47.651.1-1.32-651.6_rootsafe.zip, and follow the prompts to flash it.
You will now be updated to 1.47.651.1. This one takes a while. Let it do its thing.
When it's finished flashing, it will tell you to reboot. Do as it says and choose "Reboot system now" from the menu.
Now the second radio baseband update and the WiMAX update will be installed. This takes a long time and doesn't display any progress on the screen, just an icon with a green circle of arrows. Don't touch it. It will reboot on its own.
After the reboot, you'll see some things you haven't seen by any other update method, including a barber pole progress bar and a dialog box that says "Checking for firmware update, please wait." (It shouldn't find one.)
When the home screen comes back up, you'll get a message box telling you "Your phone has been updated successfully to version 1.47.651.1."
You still have root and should have working WiMAX.
You can delete the three files off your SD card if you wish.
If your 4G keeps scanning but never connects, you might be helped by this post.

why didn't you post this in the thread where you got help from?
Because I know what its like to search and search and not find ****. Ive asked on numerous threads and even pm'ed people with no response. I was a guinnea pig and it worked. So here it is, take it or leave it. Jeez..
Respectfully this is a dev forum and if you felt it necessary to make an alternate thread it would've been better suited for general chat. Glad it worked out for you
inb4 this is moved to an alternate forum.
Thanks for the useful post cpiddy! I was in the same situation as you and your post pointed me in the right direction.
That is great. Im glad everything worked out for you.
All I can say is after Unrevoked put out a version that may have permanently borked people's 4G, I will never trust anything from them. In my opinion, Whitslack has the best method for updating an already rooted phone and the new Simple Root is the best way to root for people who couldn't avoid the ota update.
cause the newest evo's arent rootable? lol i just got my evo yesterday and ive searched everywhere that the newest hboot 2.02 and 3.30 cant get rooted? the evo is pretty good but im all customizations. i read that the epic is super easy to root.
It can be rooted you just have to work harder at it. Dont take it back you'll regret it.
Clearly you haven't done any searching in the Android Development section.
But that's OK. Go ahead and get an Epic. Enjoy your screwed-up GPS and all that, and make sure to change your password on here to something you won't remember, so we never have to see you again.

If it dont have one click root i wont do it ........ i have both phones and the devs on evo are much better
thats funny i just typed in the search bar root evo hboot 2.02 and the first thread was the guide on how to do it.

thanks for help even though i searched everywhere.
but since i cant root my phone im stuck in the middle of it with a red triangle can i atleast go back to my phone? like unroot or something even though i didnt get all the way to root? please thanks
Follow these revised instructions from illogos pg 121 of hboot 2.02 root guide and everything should work. I've already rooted two hboot 2.02 hw 004 and in process of doing another one now. Everything works just fine if you understand and follow the instructions. Anyways, this was a lot simpler than the old school toast part 1 and 2 root methods so acquire some knowledge so you can someday help others and not be such a newbie.
thats what i followed and im still stuck at steps 10-11..my phone says in bootloader its "s-off" but i cant get that file to read after rebooting. ive tried over and over from the start and nada i even downloaded the file like 5 times.

Which instructions though? Please follow these ones by illogos-
illogos said:
1. Make sure that you downloaded and installed HTC Sync from HTC website.
2. Unzip hboot202-s_off-V8.zip to a folder in your C: drive. I used C:\hroot
3. This hroot folder should have a folder inside it called root. If you have a folder called hboot202-s_off-V8 then you need to move all the files from that subfolder to c:\hroot.
4. In Vista/7 slick on the start button and type in cmd. You will see in the program list the command prompt. Right click and open as Administrator.
5. In the command prompt type cd c:\hroot
6. On phone goto-> Setting>Applications>Debugging make sure usb debugging is on.
7. Connect the usb cable to your computer and phone. The phone should change it's screen to ask you what type of connection mode you want. Make sure that it is on charge only. Do not mount.
8. Type into the command prompt: adb push root/unrevoked-forever.zip /sdcard/ After a pause you should see a confirmation message that states the file size and transfer speed when the file is done being pushed.
9. Type into the command prompt: adb push root/mtd-eng.img /sdcard/ After a pause you should see a confirmation message that states the file size and transfer speed when the file is done being pushed.
10. Type into the command prompt: adb push pc36img/PC36IMG-ENG.zip /sdcard/PC36IMG.zip After a pause you should see a confirmation message that states the file size and transfer speed when the file is done being pushed.
11. Type into the command prompt: adb push pc36img/PC36IMG-MR.zip /sdcard/PC36IMG-MR.zip After a pause you should see a confirmation message that states the file size and transfer speed when the file is done being pushed.
12. Type into the command prompt: adb push root/flash_image /data/local/ After a pause you should see a confirmation message that states the file size and transfer speed when the file is done being pushed.
13. Type into the command prompt: adb push root/rageagainstthecage /data/local/tmp After a pause you should see a confirmation message that states the file size and transfer speed when the file is done being pushed.
14. Type into the command prompt:adb shell You should see a $, this means that you are "in" the phone.
15. Type into the command prompt:chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage You should see this echoed on your screen. This is normal. You should still have $ on your cmd line.
16. Type into the command prompt: chmod 0755 /data/local/flash_image You should see this echoed on your screen. This is normal. You should still have a $ on your cmd line.
17. Type into the command prompt:./data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage A message will pop up on the screen. It will take a few seconds, and your will be kicked "out" of the phone. The $ should now be gone.
18. Type into the command prompt: adb shell You should have a # on your command line instead of a $. # means you have temporary root in your phone. If you do not have #, then start over.
19. Type into the command prompt that has #: ./data/local/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img
20. Type into the command prompt that has #: sync
21. Type into the command prompt that has #: reboot bootloader
22. Your phone will be rebooting now. Eventually your phone will be at the bootloader menu. On your phone use volume up/down to highlight bootloader and press the power button once. It will start loading the PC36img.zip file.
23.After it loads, it will ask if you want to flash. Press Volume UP to say yes. It will now flash, which can take some time. You may see some red fail messages. This is normal.
24.When it is done flashing it will ask you if you want to reboot. Press Volume Down to say now to reboot.
25. Use volume up/down to highlight recovery. Press the power button once. This will try to boot into recovery mode but fail and load a screen with a red triangle. This is normal because you have not installed recovery yet.
26. Go back to your computer screen and your command prompt. You should not have a #
27. Type into the command prompt: adb push recovery /
28. Type into the command prompt: adb shell busybox --install /sbin
29. Type into the command prompt: adb shell nohup /sbin/recovery &
30. After a pause you should see a new screen on your phone. It should be green text with your recovery options.
31. Highlight backup/restore. Press the power button. Highlight backup nand and press the power button. Press the power button again to confirm the action. Your phone is now doing a nandroid backup. This will backup your wimax keys amongst other things.
32. It will take a little time to do the backup. After it is done press the power button once to return to the recovery menu.
33. Highlight enable USB-MS and press the power button.
34. On your computer, you should see a new drive in my computer or a pop up asking you for an action. Click on Explore, or open the drive in my computer, to access your phone like you would a thumb drive.
35. Rename the file named PC36IMG.zip to PC36IMG-ENG.zip and then rename PC36IMG-MR.zip to PC36IMG.zip
36. On your phone, press the power button to disable USB-MS mode. You should be back at the recovery menu.
37. Highlight the option to flash image from zip. Press the power button.
38. Highlight unrevoked-forever.zip and press the power button. Press the power button again to confirm if told to do so.
39. When it completes flashing the image, select reboot from the menu.
40. When it reboots a few things could happen. If you think your phone is frozen, you are okay because that is a normal occurrence on this step.
----->Your phone gets "stuck" on a white screen with the word HTC on it for more than a minute. You need to take the back case off your phone and pull your battery out. Put the battery back in and put the back case on again. Hold down Volume Down and press(and release) the power button while you continue to hold down the volume down button. Your phone should go into the boot loader like it did at the start of the guide.
----->You phone started up and fully booted. You need to completely power off.Hold down Volume Down and press(and release) the power button while you continue to hold down the volume down button. Your phone should go into the boot loader like it did at the start of the guide.
----->The phone returns to the boot loader.
41. No matter which of the 3 scenarios occurred to you in the last step, you are now in the boot loader. Obviously the 3rd scenario is the best, but all are OKAY.
42. The phone should find PC36img.zip. It then loads this file and asks if you want to flash. Use volume up for yes. When it asks to reboot press volume up for yes.
43. When it is done booting, return to your computer screen and type adb shell mv /sdcard/PC36IMG.zip /sdcard/PC36IMG-MR.zip into the command prompt.
44. Type into the command prompt: adb reboot recovery
45. Highlight backup/restore in recovery and then press power. Highlight backup nand and press power. Press power again to confirm. Wait for the backup to complete.
46. Press power to return to recovery menu. Highlight reboot phone and press power.
47. Your phone is now rooted, S-OFF, and booted into stock 3.30.651.2.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
After Root:
1. Run through setup and get to the actual phone screens.
2. Try to turn on 4G/wifi/etc and see if it all works. It may not and this does not mean disaster.
For me, I had to flash Stock RUU root 3.30.651.3 to get 4G to work. Here is what I did next:
1. Download stock RUU root 3.30.651.3(I opted for Odexed version) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836728
2. Reboot phone into recovery by completely powering off. Hold down volume down and press power. When you get into the boot loader it will try to find PC36img.zip and fail (we renamed that file remember?) and that is normal. Use volume up/down to highlight recovery and press the power button.
3. In recovery highlight USB-MS and press power to enable.
4. Your phone should be mounted as a drive in your computer again like before. Copy the whole zip file that you downloaded for RUU 3.30.651.3 rooted odexed to your phone. Wait for it to finish the transfer.
5. On your phone press power to turn off USB-MS mode.
6. On the recovery menu highlight wipe and press power.
7. Highlight the first wipe option which is something like wipe cache/factory reset. Press power. Press power again to confirm if needed.
8. Hightlight the second wipe option which is wipe cache. Press power and then press power again if needed.
9. Highlight the third wipe option which is wipe dalvik-cache. Press power and then press power again if needed.
10. Return recovery menu.
11. Hightlight flash image from zip and press power.
12. Highlight the file that you just transfered over that is for RUU 3.30.651.3 and press power. Press power again to confirm if asked. It will start flashing the image to your phone, but you will not see progress bars. It will take a few minutes.
13. When it is complete select the option to reboot the phone.
14. The phone should fully boot up into the stock rooted 3.30.651.3 rom.
15. Now try to turn 4G/wifi/etc on and make sure it works. It did for me.
16. Assuming that everything is working fine, fully power off, boot into recovery, and do another backup. This newest backup is your holy grail backup. It is stock rooted S-OFF and 4G working backup.
Note: these last 15 steps can be used to flash any custom rom too. Just make sure that you get your "holy grail" backup first before you experiment.

Thank you. It seems all these Samsung phones feel like garbage. Way too flimsy. Now I have a friend with an LG Optimus S which I just rooted for her, and I have to say the build quality is very nice.
hi... i posted a lot of questions lately. and many kind people here help me, by answering my question. so i think it's time for me to help others.
when i 1st got my G1, im so eager to root it but i'm scared of bricking it.
then i found this guide. and damn it help me to root my phone in a very easy way. just follow what this guide tell you to do and you wont brick your phone
I FOUND THIS TO BE THE EASIEST METHOD OF ROOTING A G1 AND INSTALLING A STABLE BUILD OF FROYO. (or any new roms for G1 out there)
THIS IS DESIGNED FOR THE COMPLETE BEGINNER!!
I HAVE THIS ON MY G1 WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL!!!
Rooting Your Stock T-Mobile G1 (HTC DREAM) AND INSTALLING A STABLE ANDROID 2.2 FROYO BUILD. (CYANOGENMOD 6.0)
**Please make sure your phone is completely charged before doing this**
**I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. Do this at your own risk**
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was pretty worried about bricking my phone, but it is almost impossible if you do this step by step and correctly. Just make sure to follow the steps!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prerequisites:
**ALL DATA/APPLICATIONS WILL BE REMOVED FROM YOUR PHONE AND IT WILL BE RETURNED TO FACTORY SETTINGS AFTER THE FOLLOWING STEPS. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SYNC SET UP FOR YOUR DATA SO THAT YOU CAN RECOVER YOUR CONTACTS!**
(TO SYNC GO TO SETTING > DATA SYNChronization > make sure AUTO SYNC is checked as well as contacts calendar and gmail)
Here is what you will need:
1) Your Phone
2) A Computer
3) USB Cable
Download the following file onto your computer:
(DO NOT UNZIP OR CHANGE ANY FILES!)
Original DREAIMG.nbh
Cupcake Update.zip
FlashRec.apk
Amon Ra’s Recovery Image
G1 Radio
G1 HardSPL
Generic G1 ROM w/ Root
CYANOGENMOD 6 ROM
GAPPS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I) Formatting the SD Card and Downgrading to RC29
(YOU WILL DELETE EVERYTHING OFF YOUR SD CARD!)
1. Plug your USB cable into your computer and then plug your phone in.
2. Mount your SD card by sliding down the notification bar and selecting mount.
3. Go to My Computer and access your SD card.
4. BACKUP ANY FILES THAT YOU WANT ONTO YOUR COMPUTER. VERY
IMPORTANT!
5. Go back to my computer and right click on the drive that is your sd card. Click format. Choose FAT32 from the drop down and hit the format button. This removes all data from your memory card.
6. Once the format is complete: drag and drop "DREAIMG.nbh & Update.zip files that you downloaded into the sd card. (DO NOT create a folder or anything, just put it right in the SD card)
7. Unmount your phone by going through the notification bar and then unplug your phone from your computer. Them turn off your phone.
8. Press and hold the camera+end key until until you see a screen with colored bars, then let go. This is the bootloader. The screen will turn gray with blue writing on it.
9. Hit the end key to start the update. DON'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL THIS IS DONE!
10. Once it is finished press the trackball to reboot. (If it goes back the the colored bar screen and doesn't reboot try holding the home+menu+end key, if this doesn't work, just remove the batter and put it back in and turn the phone on)
11. Once the phone is on, just turn it back off.
12. Now press the Home+End keys until you see a triangle with an exclamation point in it (this is recovery mode). Once you see this let go of the buttons.
13. Open the keyboard and press the ALT and L buttons, and then Press ALT and S buttons. Now wait until the phone reboots (it will do this automatically once the update is applied) (Don't worry if you see picture of a box and a g1 or a chip with an arrow)
14. Once the phone reboots, go ahead and and go through the welcome guide and get to the home screen.
II) Flashing a Recovery Image
1. Now with your phone at the home screen, go to settings>applications> an turn on unknown sources.
2. Now go to settings>SD card and Phone Storage>Unmount SD Card
3. Now Click format sd card and go ahead and format your sd card. It will automatically remount after.
4. Go back to the home screen and plug and mount the phone to the computer again as you did earlier.
5. Place the following files you downloaded earlier right into the sd card: FlashRec.apk, and Amon Ra's Recovery Image (Again not in any folder or anything, just on the sd card)
6. Once they are transferred go ahead and unmount and unplug your phone from the computer
7. Go and download a file manager from the android market (I suggest LINDA FILE MANAGER)
8. Once downloaded, open the file manager and go to SD card, and click the FlashRec.apk file and then click install. If it asks -> Tell it to use package installer to open it (it probably wont ask but if it does)
9. Once installed click open (it will be on bottom left of screen)
10. Then click the button that says "backup recovery image"
11. Once it says "backup complete" open the keyboard and type the following: /sdcard/recovery.img
12. Then click "flash custom recovery image" and wit until it says "Flash complete"
13. Go back to the home screen and then turn off the phone.
14. Turn the phone back on into recovery mode by holding down the home and power buttons. You will see a bunch of text on top of a black background with an HTC logo in the middle.
III) Partitioning and Loading the latest radio

5. Make sure "EXT2" is set to 512 MB then Click the Home Key
6. Make sure "Fat32 size" is set to remainder and then press the Home Key and then the phone will begin partitioning.
7. Once partitioning is complete scroll down and select to "SD: ext2 to ext3" and then press the Home key. Wait for it to upgrade.
8. Once the Upgrade is complete hit the "back" button to get back to the main menu. Then scroll down and select "USB-MS Toggle" and wait for it to enable.
9. Now plug the phone into the computer again. Now transfer the files downloaded earlier: G1 Radio, G1 HardSPL, Generic G1 Rom w/ root, to the phone. (AGAIN KEEP THE FILES JUST IN THE SD CARD AND NOT IN A FOLDER OR SOMETHING)
10. Once the transfer is complete hit the Home key to disable the USB-MS toggle and return back to the main menu of recovery mode. Unplug your phone.
11. Scroll down and select "Flash .zip from SDcard"
12. Select the G1 Radio file (named OTA Radio or something like that) and hit the Home key to confirm. DO NOT SELECT ANY OTHER FILE, THE RADIO MUST BE DONE FIRST.
13. Once the Radio Flash is complete Press Home+Back to reboot the phone. It will then say "writing radio image" and then reboot back into recover mode (this will take some time)
14. Once back into recovery mode, scroll and select "Flash zip from SDcard" again.
15. This time choose the SPL file (named somthing like "Latest G1 SPL.zip") and then click the HOME KEY to confirm.

5. Once the files are transferred, press the Home key to disable USB-MS Toggle and return to the main menu, and then unplug your phone.
6. Scroll down and select "wipe" and then select "wipe data / factory reset" and then hit the Home key to confirm. Wait for it to finish the wipe. It will say "Data wipe complete"

8. Scroll and select "Flash Zip from SDCard"
9. Select the CYANOGENMOD 6 ROM Named something like "update-cm-6.0.0-DS-RC1-signed.zip" and hit Home to confirm and wait for it to finish.
10. Once finished it will go back to the main menu and say "Install from SD Card Complete"

CONGRATS! YOU have successfully rooted your G1 and installed CYANOGENMOD 6 (ANDROID 2.2 Froyo)
thanks worked great
Step III-20. Completed all the way up to there and now it seems stuck on the ANDROID logo with the white flash scrolling thru. Holds the logo for 10 seconds with the flash moving left to right, then the flash pauses on the "D". Repeats. Did I miss a step?
I can use the camera button and the power button to reach the bootloader screen. It's not the multi color screen. It's the white backgrown with three green Androids on it. It will not allow me to use the home and back buttons to go to the recovery mode though.

Restarted the process but now I am unable to log onto my G1 due to no service. I can not reach my google account to register the phone. I am trying to research on how to bypass that now and no luck.

I completed the steps from the first post in this thread but something went wrong and the phone got stuck in...

Step III-20. Completed all the way up to there and now it seems stuck on the ANDROID logo with the white flash scrolling thru. Holds the logo for 10 seconds with the flash moving left to right, then the flash pauses on the "D". Repeats. Did I miss a step?

So I had to start over. Now I am at the login step. Tried to install ADB onto my computer but I can't seem to get it to "recognize my device".
Is there a ROM flash that just deletes this step when you load it instead of loading 1.0? I know this question came up before.

if your can't bypass even on adb using your computer. why don't you just borrow a sim from your friend or anyone (for a while) that you know, that have a sim card with a data plan or 3g connections. or if your in a country with a prepaid service. just load your sim with an amount that you can avail 3g connection.
Yeah I went to the local market to buy a SIM card that will transmit data but they were out. Just tried a local SIM with no luck and tried someones AT&T SIM out of their iPhone with no luck as well. I'm going to try the ADB route again.
Got a local SIM card (Roshan) and used its data plan to unlock my G1. Started the process from the beginning but made it to step IV-2 (Press home and back to power up in Recovery mode.
It will not power up by that method.

i did everything as this says and im stuck at flashing CM6 with a status 7 (as user above) , i also tried another tut in the cianogenmod wiki (ttp://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod#Rooting_the_HTC_Drea m_2) same error:
but i dont know maybe something is missing from the root part of that tut?
i understand it has to do with nand partitions, but since i already tried with death spl , and also hardspl, then i dont know what else to try.

boot normally, go to settings, about phone, if you are @ android 1.0 then your dreaming.nbh file worked as it should, if not telenet wont help if your still @ 1.6 or 1.5.
if this is the case go to your bootloader screen (camera + power) and try again. make sure that the dreaming.nbh file is spelled correctly! also make sure it isnt in any folders on your sd card

what is your radio spl
write down everything on your bootloader screen (camera + power)
we can go from there
My Nexus One is rooted (I forgot how I did it).
Last night suddenly my phone went off and could not reboot anymore. It stayed on "X" screen forever. I tried to hard reset (i.e. Pressing volume down and power button). Then I pressed "Recovery" and then it went restart and stayed on "X" screen forever again. What can U do?
Please help, I am a new root user. please teach me step by step to do so. thanks.
Turn it off. Hold the trackball while starting it up. If you have usb debugging on and working fastboot drivers, you can wipe your phone (fastboot -a in cmd) and flash an img file of like a stock ROM.

I had read some other members did some tricks to their phone by remove the SD card and reboot the phone. BTW, is the battery fully charged? Try to pull the battery and then put it back on.

I tried this already but still not work, I had brought my phone to some third party mobile repair centre, they said my N1 is CPU broken and will cost around US$96 to replace with a new CPU (HTC need around US$190 for mother board). I paid US$96 anyways. not sure if it worth.

If your bootloader is unlocked, just flash a new recovery from fastboot Otherwise unlick it anyway.

The bootloader of my N1 is unlocked, I am not familiar with fastboot thing. My friend helped mine root and he is out of my country now. Gotta follow cnalbant's steps and see.
Install ClockworkMod Recovery on Nexus One Manually
Step 1: Download ClockworkMod Recovery: recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.1-passion.img (there are more current, look at the xda)
Step 2: Set up ADB for Nexus One
Step 3: Put the downloaded recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.1-passion.img in C: drive
Step 4: Turn Nexus One off and connect it to PC via USB
Step 5: Hold the Power button + Trackball together to start Nexus One in fastboot mode
Step 6: Once in fastboot mode, open Terminal / Command Prompt and run following command:
fastboot devices
This command will check if your device is connected in fastboot mode or not.
Step 7: Now run following command (place the file recovery in the same folder where the fastboot):
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.1-passion.img
This will install Clockwork recovery on your Nexus One.
That’s it, enjoy!
You can either follow the above guide or this amon ra recovery guide
forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Nexus_One/Recovery_Images
Amon ra is another recovery just like clock workmod
B4 using adb download the drivers of adb and fastboot
www.mediafire.com/?bhxmn903d6cz9eg
When you connect ur phone use device manager to locate the connection on win 7 and select install drivers frm folder and install frm the extracted folder of adb driver
