Carrier specific ROM...
Follow the unroot/restore instructions in the wiki, and you'll be sorted!
I just got the same phone last month. Follow danger-rat's instructions then wait a few minutes after the update and it will find and download the latest upgrade from Google.
Let it charge up first though.
W00t! Root it!
Lol who wants n1 without cm7 anyway..

All Nexus phones are unlocked.
Just search the forum, there are tons of threads, that's how I could spot the issue so easily...

How about this. All Nexus devices are sim unlocked. Not all Nexus devices currently have an unlocked bootloader, but all Nexus devices can have their bootloaders unlocked easily.
Sim unlocked means that you can put a sim card from any carrier into the device and it will work (irrespective of whether or not 3G works due to carriers frequencies).
Unlockable bootloader allows you to bypass the security of the phone and replace the stock firmware/recovery with 3rd party versions that can unlock more features.

What version information do you see on this screen:
Settings > About Phone > scroll down.
Please tell us the model number, android version, baseband version, kernel version.
There are files to update to Gingerbread that don't require rooting, but it depends on your version.

I wake up everyday looking for news about 2.3 getting released. I am on 2.2.1 so I lost the ability to root. So i hope this comes out soon and if anyone has any info please post.
Officially it should come out in "coming weeks" as this tweet suggests - http://twitter.com/googlenexus/status/16974464310845440.
But there's a way to root your 2.2.1 anyways. Follow this guide:

Just unlock your bootloader.
I have tried the super one click no luck
Other than unlocking, which is the preferred and safest way to do it. You could just follow the guide that was linked here. I did it for my friend just last week because he was afraid of the official way to root for some reason. It worked perfectly.
Yeah I did it the rageagainstthecage way.

Odd, are you sure you have the latest Super One Click? It worked fine for me 2.2.1 N1 on T-Mobile.

Works fine for me. Did you get stuck at the looping problem after following the steps in the OP?
The way around that, as many of us have discovered, is to turn the phone off then run SuperOneClick and select 'root'. Turn the phone back on once 'waiting for device..' is shown in the program and then just leave it until it finishes.
Ensure USB debugging is enabled before you get started and that your PC has the required drivers installed. (Check Device Manager).
To be fair the Original Post needs updating as the instructions aren't very good without the above being mentioned.

Dumb question but, does that method allow you to install custom roms (e.g. CM7) without unlocking the bootloader, thus keeping the warranty?

Using exploit to root allows you to get rooted device without unlocking the bootloader. However, I cannot tell you 'your warranty is kept' for certain(as long as bootloader is locked and you can revert to stock, I think it's okay).

This does not unlock the boot loader....... and, yes you can flash roms once rooted.
Good luck on that warrenty buisness.

If you do revert to stock there should be no way to tell you ever modified the rom, isn't that right?

His question isn't about relocking the bootloader. But as long as you reflash the stock ROM and recovery, then I don't think there would be a way to tell without further examination. Regardless, HTC isn't too strict with the warranty claims, as many members on this forum have claimed warranty and sent back rooted phones to HTC. You should be fine.

that's 3 weeks. "coming weeks" being a PR equivalent of more than a month, we should be waiting for gb another 2 weeks at least...
It's only 5% of GB, but you can have the keyboard from it. A definite improvement and works perfectly on my N1 with 2.2.1 (no root needed):

Has any dev checked if DX boatloader is unlockable with the GB update through fastboot? I come from the Atrix forums...and it appears 2.3.3 ota update for the Atrix will unlock the boatloader through fastboot. I just wanted to give a heads up to my fellow Moto peeps

actually since it's the same then it should not have any revisions to prevent it from using the atrix unlock method...or at least that's my hypothesis on it...i literally just asked a question like this 2 seconds ago on rootzwiki

I believe the same thing, I believe that Verizon/motorola did put out a note about the Gingerbread update stating that the same rooting methods would not work BECAUSE the were updating to a new bootloader. If this is true, then I'm 99.9% sure they update to the bootloader they are using for the atix.
Hopefully only a matter of time before this boot unlocker OR the offical one comes out for Droid X. Lets just hope that they dont only do the unlokcing of the bootloader for the Droid X2
hello,
As per http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/2011/09/26/new-gingerbread-software-available-in-nordic-countries/#more-3743 unlocked bootloaders will also be able to update to 2.3.4.
Can we take it to mean now SE will allow phones with unlocked bootloaders to update via OTA or SEUS! Good News i think.
I can only see unlocked phones, not unlocked boot loaders...

Hey guys. I got a second hand Nexus S today and it came rooted, with a custom rom of ICS installed. It's called Neopolitan or something like that.
I'm wondering how I can probably keep it rooted, but go to a normal stock version of ICS on my Nexus S (So I can install updates straight to the device, etc.)
Thanks
Forgot to say this is the U.K version.

Is your bootloader locked? You can see when turn phone on have you got padlock symbol? Then check what recovery you using power + volume up is it stock or clockwordmod?

There is no Nexus S 4G for Verizon. And only the GSM version has an official release for ICS. There are 3rd party ROMs for both of course. But if you want official ICS read the sticky threads in this forum.

I am unable to boot into bootloader on ATT model :/
Lol as expected from Sprint and AT&T. Dont get me wrong, i wish they had bootloader unlocked because the more bootloaders unlocked for different carriers, the more chances to duplicate the amount of developments/roma/mosa/kernels etc.... Now, having only Tmobile as the only one with unlocked bootloader, well, devs who use carrier such as AT&T and Sprint might get further away from developments on LG V20. (I'm a LG V20 Tmobile variant owner)
im not to familiar with LG, but the correct way is to power off the device, hold volume down, insert USB cable?
one would think even if locked, it could still enter the bootloader. adb works, and when i reboot recovery, i get to recovery, but when selecting reboot bootloader, the device starts. interestingly enough, it will enter in adb sideload mode
With Google obviously not wanting unlocked handsets or rooted handsets to be common... This kind of thing is going to be the norm. Best to adapt, in the long term. The days of modding are being ended by Google

For the time being. As SafetyNet gets more common, Google will quit making them unlockable.
Granted i preordered my v20 expecting to run it unrooted stock.

Well, it's really only sprint, at&t, and more than likely Verizon. Fastboot mode doesn't even exist on the phone through the production software. T-Mobile is completely unlockable...

So this means no recovery for sprint variants, but is there still a possibility of systemless root using the LG up or bridge programs?

He said it was based on jcadduono's work and if jcadduono has a thread on here about getting root shell to push recovery on the TMobile variant after unlocking the bootloader.
time to return it!
Just a thought. A method over use getting around big red in the past . I purchased unlock able version of the the phone I wanted the note 5 . Umocked it rooted it . Then got my carriers Sim card and called to get it activated. It can be a pain but it can be done
