Nexus One Root/unroot and space pls help

Ok fellas! Im new to this world of android just bought a newsu one last night Its used and rooted. I installed bunch of apps and after a bit it gave me an alert of low space/memory. Never had this with my x10 . so i was wondering may be its cus o the root if yes? Do u recmnd unrooting to clear space? And in case of unrooting any help /guide would be much appreciated.
Also i saw the update alert ast night fo 2.2.1 but when i tried to update it it wa stuck on a black screen with a android(green guy) and a exclamation mark. so i r/s the phone again and ignore the update anyhelp. please...
Thanks a bunch.

The ROM would effect the lack of space, but having root shouldn't. It more likely the apps though.
Just try moving some apps to your SD (menu> settings> applications> manage applications... sort by size [menu key], then select an app. In each app there's an option to move to SD. Some will move, some won't)
There's plenty of discussions on the update, but it's probably failing because you're not stock...

So what should i do to get the update ..get the phone unroot??

First, decide if you want the update, or if you want a custom ROM...
I've not tried the update, so I can't make any recommendations.

Ok so i got loaded 2 different htc sense roms last night both from here:
http://theunlockr.com/downloads/android-downloads/android-roms/nexus-one-roms/
Both of them were awesome, right now I have the mdaco one, but the there are few problems.
*. Showed still on 2.1 in setting.
*. GPS isn't locking.
*. Bluetooth isnt working.
*. When Im trying to lock the phone by pressing the power button it locks but wont go to sleep(back light is still on).
*. Power button won't work if i try to shutdown/put phone on vibrate/airplane mode/.
so far these are the problems im facing.
Does anyone nows a better stable Sense ROM?? Please advise.. Thanks.

A few questions about Custom rom's.

I know this is the wrong section but I got some kind of feeling that there are more people looking in this section.
I have read some guides in the Development section (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537'
But I got some questions about rooting/S-off.
Why is rooting/S-off necessarily, why can't I just put the rom on my SD and go right into recovery mode and boot it up from there?
Also the program visionary plus, I hate that thing so much.... At this step:
Open Visionary and tap temproot, then attempt permroot now. Your device will reboot.
How the hell do I open it? I use Astro File manager or something to go to the file but I can't install the program on my mobile/SD card >.<
Also what do I need to do more besides Wiping my phone? In this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11557769
It says to flash a Radio is this a must? Or is the S-off/Root enough.
Thanks already

No, the DHD has a protected system which precludes overwriting the system partition so without S-OFF you can not make any permanent changes.

Don't use it then the instructions here, achieve root without the use of visionary.

No, but using a newer radio may improve battery life and wifi/Gps reception etc.

No worries!

When I had the wrong Radio my battery drain was 15% an hour and this was with a sense Rom. imo S-OFF is a must.

i used this and it worked great.

Actually all of the roms now are running Gingerbread, and sense roms are on sense2.1 (With some sense3.0 elements).

My bad, when I was choosing which rom to load yesterday, everything i read said AR was still 2.2. Must have been old threads.

Thanks guys I now know enough

just for the record, nobody can help you based on this information. you need to quote the error message.

Haven't tried CM7 but if you haven't already flashed a rom I'd give a big thumbsup for Leedroids GB rom, very quick, stable and flashed like a dream

+1 for this. definitely give LeeDroid a go if you can. admittedly, it's the only custom one i've used to date (and for less than 24 hours at that), but i can't rate it high enough compared to the branded rom i got in the first place. amazing!

There is no error message. I just can't find a 'exe' or AKP file which will install the program on my SD/Mobile.
@ Above,
No, I haven't flashed a ROM yet since I heard there are some problems with ClockWorkmod of ROM Manager so I am going to wait for a few days xD

sorry to hear that. it's news to me, though. i downloaded it (CWM), and used it last night in the process of flashing the rom, no issues. but i understand the whole 'there may be issues, so i think i'll wait - don't want to brick my phone' line of thought. good luck when you get there. i'm sure you'll be fine if you follow the various guides posted on here. they worked an absolute treat for me (and i'm the definition of n00b).

So basically I'm screwed? Since I need to downgrade to root, and to backup you need to have root >.< but when you downgrade you lose everything xD
I will try it tonight ._.

If you want to back up the new GB OTA ROM then yes but if you just want to back up your apps then No, you don't need root.
Titanium works with root but doesn't need it. Also, if you ticked to let Google keep a backup then your apps will be re-downloaded when you next perform a wipe.

Using Windoze is great....
One word for you: Linux.
At the risk of high jacking this thread, have you installed HTC Sync? Can you connect to HTC Sync? If not, try another USB port (if using front port use back ports or vice-versa). If none work uninstall HTC Sync and reinstall it after rebooting PC.
If that works when you are in adb (making sure USB Debugging is on) try
Code:
adb devices
Do you get a result?

Beta Test for BootManager(multi-boot app)

We've gotten alot of response from the Desire community so thank you all for your help. At this time we do not need any more testers for the desire. BootManager should be updated with support for the Htc Desire in the next few days. The app currently won't support rom's that use apps2sd and data2sd but our team is working on getting support for those as well. Thanks.
Hey guys my team has developed an app called bootmanager which went into the market today. The app let's you install rom's to your sdcard and boot between them. I had originally done an inc only version here that used your recovery for installing rom's. The new app installs the rom's directly through the app and then let's you boot between them. Anyway on to the point of this post...i'm looking for 1 or 2 beta testers to add support for the desire. You'll need a little knowledge of adb, root of course, and just a little bit of patience. So far has worked pretty well on every htc device wev'e tried so I'm confident we can add support for the desire as well. You can get a little more info about the app from the link in my sig or looking at it in the market. If your interested pm me so I can get the info needed for the desire(.i.e partition sizes and a few other things that i'll tell you how to find in adb) and I'll send the apk for you to try. Thanks for your help....

Very interesting app! Would hboot have to be compatible (ie right size) with all the installed roms or as they are installed to SD does it not matter?

by hboot your refferring to the bootloader? This doesn't change the bootloader. It makes img's on your sdcard which hold your system/data/cache files for the rom, then it edits the boot.img for that rom to point to those img's when booting. Then the app flashes the boot.img for the rom you want to boot too.

I would be very interested in trying this out as I pretty much change my ROM on a daily to weekly basis haha, I just can't stop! This would be a good way to nurture my need for all the ROMs I switch between all of the time.

Would this app work on a non rooted phone? I mean having the stock ROM in the phone and a rooted one on the SDcard. But I guess it wouln't...

No you need an unlocked bootloader to switch the boot.img. And root to do a number of other things involved in setting up the rom.

Once you go MIUI you don't go back I can't bring myself to use anything else LOL!

Oh I tried MIUI-XJ, it's nice to know that you're happy with it ^^ I used it for about three to four days and felt that I was using an iPhone more so than an Android and I prefer the feel/look of Android devices... I loved being able to theme it so easily, though. I like the transparency mods in NeoPhyte ROMs and bits and pieces of many others... I should just figure out how to make my own.
I hope that you got my response, Conap! My sent items folder said I hadn't sent anything but I am most positive that I did so I will wait to hear back from you =D.

Yeah, sure I could help with the testing... Do you want somebody with that knows ADB etc..?

got Miui XJ on phone rom and tried to boot CM7.
working without problems so far!

thank you. gonna look into this now

Should we run the update after the rom has been installed, so it updates the boot.img ? Haven't tried running the update.zip directly from bootmanager yet, but works fine from recovery.
Installed MIUI-108050 on my HTC Desire (stock boot/S-ON)

looks fantastic....im new to android and my desire but i am currently using neo's reflex s rom and i love it...i really want to try MIUI but i love reflex!

[FIX] Android Revolution HD™ 7.0.x Hebrew Fix

Hello Everyone,
I saw people asking about Hebrew fix for the AWESOME Android Revolution HD Rom,
so I compiled a fix from a script This Guy made.
For the official thread of the ROM here's a link.
And for the the fix to flash AFTER you flash the room AND boot it.
Downloads:
Current Version:
ARHD 7.3: HebFix_Android_Revolution_HD_v7.3_Fonts.zip.
ARHD 9.0: HebFix_Android_Revolution_HD_v9.0_Fonts.zip.​
Older Versions:
ARHD 7.0.x: HebFix_Android_Revolution_HD_v7.0.x_Fonts.zip.
ARHD 6.3.x: HebFix_Android_Revolution_HD_v6.3.x_Fonts.zip.​Enjoy.
*Note:
For some reason the Hebrew locale option is not available in Settings>Language and Keyboard>Select Language, there is a way to change this with this app https://market.android.com/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale.
Just Select custom locale and write iw and then IL.
And if you like to thank the guy that made the script Donate him.

Thanks
I'll try it our thanks man!!

Hey,
I flashed your fix for 6.2 ARHD, and the fonts look nice, I think the ones on the other fix were actually nicer, but doesn't really matter.
Anyway, the pull to the right side works on the SMS and on Gmail, but not on all the widgets like people widget, Calender widget, but does work on others like Gtasks and Go SMS widgets.
Thanks for your hard work

If you have the fonts that you need you can just download the zip file and replace the fonts in the /system/fonts folder.
And don't forget to delete the other folders so it will not do the RTL fix (/system/framework and /system/lib).
And in anycase do a nanodroid backup first, who knows what could happen.
Hope this will help you

Actualy I don't think there is not much difference between the two versions because it's Basicly the same base, but I just wanted to be on the safe side and recompile the fix using the files from the new ROM.
Anyway if it's working for you now I don't think there will be any problem with it later on but you can flash on top of it the new version if you like.
And don't worry about the updates I'm a user myself so I just upload what I'm using

[Q] reverting back to htc standard stock

Hiya all.
Due to devilment, I had to go through the process of s-offing my phone and rooting my phone and installing another rom.
After a few hours of cobbling about and slight hair loss !~ I managed to get s off etc and installed the latest cyanogen software. Such fun !~
Now whilst I think this is a fab piece of software and I enjoy trying things out, I find this quite unstable to use. I havent changed any settings or overclocked it etc but I want rid of it ~! The sounds keeps going, icons dissappear , it lags , it freezes and all manner of things. I need to at least use the phone.
So, my question is can someone point me in the direction of a proper and correct version of the htc wildfire uk rom so I can reinstall it again. If I use what you recommend, will it become s-on again and unrooted?
I dont actually think I made a back up of my original software, at least I cant find one unless it was automated.
Thanks so much
