Hello,
Right now I have the stock FRF85B build on my nexus one. I want su and superuser, nothing else. I have already unlocked the bootloader. What do I do from here.?I do not want to install custom ROMs at this point.

That's great - but didn't you start with a custom recovery?
Can you drop a custom recovery on a stock recovery for FRF85B without the right Superboot?
I ask, because I am also stuck with this stock build and recovery. And when I read the instructions for installing Amon_RA, one of the prerequisites is Superboot. The problem is that there is no Superboot for this build yet.
HALP! I feel like I'm stuck in a chicken-and-egg scenario.
Ah I forgot that part. Wrote that up while at work. Inthe last section there is a link to the page where lox posts an update.zip for root access. I opened the zip and extracted the boot.img and flashed that I think,then I flashed the recovery for amon-ra.
After that is when I put the update.zip from lox on and flashed his update.zip for root access with the such utility.
The method posted in the dev section works perfectly. Root without unlocking. Then you can install a custom recovery/rom if you want.

I second this post. I am in the EXACT same situation as the original poster and I'm frankly embarrassed that I can't figure out what to do next.
If we're making huge requests, can you write it up for mac users? There is a surprising lack of documentation for us. I hope this doesn't open me up to a flamewar - if it counts for anything I've been lustily eying windows 7..
edit: I'm an idiot and had not googled the right question. If you run a mac, and have the bootloader unlocked already please see this link:
http://theonda.org/articles/2010/03...-performance-boost-and-some-serious-geek-cred
use your brains to suss out the relevant directions, make sure you have a more updated version of ROM Manager or RA or whatever custom recovery you want and basically just ignore the stuff about custom radios etc. You're basically just using the terminal (or whatever windows / linux does) to flash the custom firmware back on.
Again if you have the bootloader already unlocked (icon appears on startup), just find generic directions for your OS on how to install custom recovery. On the mac, it's simply few terminal commands using the fastboot program linked off the page linked above.
Sorry I can't be of more help - i have to be up early and it's pushing midnight.
So I rooted my phone via Universal Androot and it looks like it went through without a hitch. Kinda...
Then I DL Rom Manager and Flashed the CW Recovery from there and that looks like it installed ok as well.
Do I need to do this fastboot thing to install DJ Steve's 1.4.6 ROM or can't I just reboot into recovery and install from SD card now?
It seems like that would be the easier way just like the other android phones I have flashed new roms for?
I just want to make sure I dont need that fast boot to avoid any issues with new ROM flash.
You are going to need several different recoveries to upgrade the streak and none of them are the recovery you would flash through rom manager. I'm almost 100% sure you can not flash any roms via clockwork that has been installed through rom manager. Definately learn about fastboot. It's really quite essential to pretty much everything you want to do with the streak. Search for a thread entitled "guide to upgrading and downgrading the dell streak" which has been posted here at xda and on the modaco forum as well. It has a link to pdf which gives you an easy step by step guide to installing and using fastboot as well as the recoveries and pretty much everything else. Hope this helps. Good luck.
is it possible to switch to another custom recovery after I already got clockworks?
I tried unrevoked but its stuck in the reboot (I believe its trying to root my aria again)
not sure what youre trying to do.... i believe Clockwork is the only Recovery for rooted phones. if you want to flash a custom ROM, well that is something else altogether. please be specific as to what you want to flash to the phone. include a link to the flash too
I was trying to flash psfreedom recovery rom from here
http://psfreedom.com/wiki/HTC_Aria
I believe the method on that website was for unrooted arias without clockworks

To flash a different custom recovery on your Aria, you need to rename the zip file LIBEIMG.ZIP on the SD card and boot in HBOOT (Power on the phone by holding down VOL DOWN and the Power Button). When it boots to the HBOOT screen you should see text stating that it found LIBEIMG.ZIP and is installing it.
awesome. now before I go ahead, is there any clockworkx recovery image I can revert back to?

I'm curious, what recovery are you talking about?
thanks for including the link. the instructions are clear.... Root IS required, Clockwork recovery is recommended, the Freedom Aria flash appears to be a custom ROM.
once the phone is Rooted, boot into Recovery, make a Nandroid backup, and flash downloaded zip file from SD card.
if you need help Rooting, there is all sorts of good methods available on this site. I use the Unrevoked method myself, but it works best on Linux or Mac OS

hmm I think you are looking at the old method which is a custom rom
The new one is a custom recovery which brings me to the question as I dont think you can flash a custom recovery in the clockwork custom recovery.
its possible im looking at the wrong thing, but far as i can tell it states "Recovery Custom ROM" which is totally different from Custom Recovery ROM
From link posted above:
"Update can be installed in recovery mode in Psfreedom settings menu via Update (local) or Update (net) if you have configured your wifi connection. Put the file on your SDCARD and install it.

I have similar questions. I was trying to update my version of clockwork also using unrevoked again, but couldn't get it to work. I guess my questions are:
1. Is there any benefit in updating to a newer version of clockwork? My current version is 2.0.x.x and I believe the latest one is 2.5.0.4.
2. Will this same method work to do so? Can I rename the latest clockwork .zip file like this and get it updated?
I thought using the flash clockwork option in ROM Manager would do it, but it doesn't. If I reboot from ROM Manager it goes to the newer version, but if I reboot otherwise it goes to my original. The couple times I've used it, there appears to be maybe some different features/options in the newer one and I feel like I might be missing out on something!
What's the difference with this recovery?

These are probably two different things. once you got the recovery rom flashed you can upgrade it in recovery mode (hence its different from original clockwork recovery)
Ok bro, I didn't see much info about it so I'm gonna take your word for it.
@brswattt, far as I can tell this is " basically" used for jailbreaking the ps3.
@armyengineer;
you can use unrEVOked to flash the new recovery. if youre a Windows user, download the unrEVOked tool and run the .exe as Administrator. also make sure there are no conflicting s/w on the PC such as HTC Sync and you have all the drivers installed(HBoot, ADB drivers, etc.)
for more info about the PSFreedom Recovery, check out THIS Thread HERE
unrevoked keeps giving me
couldnt find misc
error, is there any other way to flash a recovery?

This still isn't working for me. Everything appears to go well at the start, then I get:
Waiting for root...(safe to restart if this doesn't work)
At which point the only way I can restart is to pull my battery. After doing so, it reboots and I get:
This was a triumph
It is not, however, any such thing. After another minute I get this:
Internal error: couldn't find misc.
So I've still got my original version of clockwork, 2.0.1.3, despite the fact that ROM Manager is telling me I have 2.5.0.1. I'm obviously missing something here.
BTW, if it matters I'm running CM 6.1.0

Although there is a ClockworkMod 2.5.0.4 version, I don't think it is for the Aria. According to ClockworkMod ROM Manager, 2.5.0.1 is the most current one for the Aria so I am believing what ROM Manager is telling me since it is written by the same the vendor.
I have tried CM 6.1.0
original HTC Aria 2.1 International Rom
and FR001 RC1
all no go. I think it has something to do with the phone already been rooted and has clockworks installed which makes unrevoked unhappy

OK, let's start from the beginning. You asked about installing an alternate recovery (PSFreedom recovery), but apparently it has its own installation procedure that needs to be run on an unrooted Aria.
What you need is to find just the PSFreedom recovery and copy it to your SD called in a file called LIBEIMG.ZIP and that is how you need to install it on a root phone that has ClockworkMod. Perhaps you need to go back to the PSFreedom thread and ask if a LIBEIMG.ZIP can be produced that can be flashed from HBOOT to replace ClockworkMod.
Looks like everything you need is located in the PSFreedom wiki:
http://psfreedom.com/wiki/HTC_Aria
I got a recovery.bin which is suppose to be used with unrevoked.
are you talking about the same one if I just compress it into a zip file?
Hi about 10 months ago I rooted my Wildfire with no problems using Turkeys ultimate guide from these forums.
I have got apps to sd, live wallpapers running, and all is good. However my phone is still S-on and the H Boot version is 0.80.0002.
When I was playing around with the settings in SetCPU it informed me that the binary was out of date and to update it, but when i tried it would not update as the phone is still S-on.
My question is can I S-off using Revolutionary as it is already rooted? Obviously I will back up using clockworkmod, but if I s-off the phone are there any obvious advantages apart from being able to update the binary in SetCPU?
Thanks
Are you talking about an outdated Superuser Binary? If so, you can download the latest binary here:
http://tinyurl.com/63tsg9c
And simply flash it in Clockworkmod Recovery. This will give you the updated binary and SetCPU should work fine again.
If you have to get S-OFF, then, you will have to apply the official Froyo RUU and update your HBoot to 1.01.0001 because Revolutionary doesn't support any other HBoots, including 0.80.x. Advantages include a writeable /system partition (Which enables you copy paste stuff in the /system folder on a running handset, one case in point is precisely what you described. This will allow updating of the binary), and the other advantage is enabling of Fastboot commands, which allows you to flash stuff like radio's, recoveries, nandroid backups etc directly to the phone without using Clockworkmod Recovery.
Tl;dr - You will have to completely format your device, install official Froyo, and only then can you obtain S-OFF
And simply flash it in Clockworkmod Recovery.
When you say simply flash it in Clockworkmod recovery, what do you mean? And when you say apply the official Froyo RUU and update the HBoot how can I do that as I am running Wildpuzzle ROM at the moment and it says there are no updates available, so can you explain in simple terms what steps to take?
Thanks
Flash in Clockworkmod Recovery - Same way as you installed your WildPuzzle ROM ZIP file. Turn off phone, start using Vol Down + Power, then navigate to RECOVERY, Press Power Button. Here, select "Install Zip from SDCard", then browse to "Select Zip from SDCard", and select the Zip file I linked above.
This entire process is called "flashing".
If you are still interested in getting S-OFF:
- Download the EXE WWE Froyo 2.22.405.1 RUU from here:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz
- Connect your Wildfire to your PC, run it. It will automatically proceed and perform the required steps.
- If you get s Customer ID 131, you will need to create a Goldcard using your SDCard. This an be done using GoldcardTool. The required steps and download can be found here:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/308798-pc-application-goldcardtool/
IMO, I would not recommend you to go for S-OFF since it doesn't seem you are too much inclined to stuff like these (It is not a necessity. Besides, once /system is writeable, it is a two edged sword. Messing something up there will likely cause your phone to not boot). Further, it breaks certain functions on Sense ROMs which needs an additional fix found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1156713
hey man, you could also try the test version of unrevoked 3.2 and run that to s off your phone. it works on your h-boot ( i know as i have the same)
since i am new the forum wont let me post the link, its to sstop spamming :/ just search for unrevoked test 3.2 ( it has to be test 3.2 because the others wont work on the hboot to my knowlege. :/)
just download the program and run it and it should do it with no hassle.
good luck

That's totally incorrect. Rooting with Unrevoked =/= S-OFF. Besides, on the very first line the OP says he has rooted his phone using Unrevoked.
ah, sorry about that i was looking at unrevoked forever :/ just ignore me ........
I want to know if i can install twrp on HTC hd2 Leo from goo manager? Or other way? I have a galaxy 2 Hercules with twrp and its awesome I want install this recovery on my wife phone
I saw a twrp in the NAND Dev section a while ago but I haven't really seen it since, so I don't know if it even got out of beta stages. The last time I checked barely anything was working on it, although it did have the basic functionality of flashing ROMs. Anyway, if you can flash it, it probably won't be via this 'goo manager' app.
Thanks men. I found a recovery image for leo in team win web. I have to flash from the fastboot.
Don't try to flash that recovery image, because it's not working, if you want a working one download it from xylograph goo folder
Search for it on native SD thread
