Just a heads up (I nearly missed it),
After rooting my Galaxy S2 with Doomlord's Rooting Toolkit I pulled out my N1 to see if it would work and it did! Within 30secs I was fully rooted.
My N1 was running 2.3.6 stock till now and I didn't want to wipe to be able to root and this is the way.
I know I had been waiting a long time for this so maybe it'll be useful to others.
Doomlord's Rooting Toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319653
Zergrush Exploit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1296916
Update: Note that several manufacturers have patched their firmware to make this exploit fail. I don't know if this still works for the N1 though I believe it should considering I haven't seen an update come out for it (could've missed it) So if it fails for you and you got a very recent firmware could be google fixed it.
Could you give a little more detailed instruction how to do it?
Instructions are in the first link.
The gist of it is
1. You need to have your phone's drivers installed for adb to work
2. set to usb debugging
3. connect usb cable
4. run the bat file
5. press space to start the process
6 30secs later (for me) it rebooted and I was rooted.
So to confirm, this I's a working Gingerbread 2.3.4 / 2.3.6 Root exploit without unlocking the bootloader?
Oh man, my Nexus is just begging to be reunited with CyanogenMod!

Oh okay, I thought you have to do something special as you provided two links.
I just did those steps and it worked flawless.
Thanks!
@CPM
Yes it roots your phone without unlocking the Bootloader even on 2.3.6 (as is my case)
@DarsVaeda
Sorry for the confusion I was just trying to provide references and credits where due.
Works great! Thanks.
last exploit here: http://cloud.github.com/downloads/revolutionary/zergRush/zergRush.zip
Step by step:
empty /data/local/tmp/
C:\adb pust zergRush /data/loca/tmp
adb chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/zergRush
wait...
C:\adb remount
adb push su /system/bin
adb push su /system/xbin
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app
adb chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
adb chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
reboot phone
You can su
Try: Install connectbot (or any Terminal) from Google Market connect local, type su, allow. Done.
Now remote bloatware: facebook, Amazone, twitter )
Cheers Airbag888 for bringing this exploit to our attention (and of course everyone else involved in finding the exploit and scripting it)
Works like a charm. I couldn't revert back to the older 2.3.3 Gingerbread after HTC fixed my power button. Suffered the "Main version is older" error downgrading and nothing else worked.
My Nexus is now safely reunited with CyanogenMod and I'm mighty happy

I'm new to this so I have a question!
If I root my phone using this method will i then be able to use rom manager to install cyanogen rom or do I have to do anything extra?

If you root via any method (this one included)
you can install a custom recovery of any kind (including clockwork which comes with Rom Manager)
you can install compatible Roms via Rom manager as well.
It should not void your warranty either since you're not unlocking your bootloader.
However make sure to do a backup before you install a new ROM and also to wipe your data/cache via recovery when you install another ROM
Thanks!
Hi !
Assuming that an unlocked bootloader wouldn't be a problem, I just tried your method, alas to no avail. Here is the output I got :

ALL DONE!!!
Pressione qualquer tecla para continuar. . .
I just loved the "ALL DONE!!!" message in spite of every single step having failed
My config looks like this...
Nexus One
Bought directy from Google
running 2.3.6, build GRK39F
bootloader unlocked for the first time through the SDK afew moment before trying to root
MacBook pro running Windows XP
Also tried Bexton's scripts, unsuccessfully.
Out of the blue, I would blame faulty ADB drivers, but since they worked for unlocking my bootloader, I guess they're ok. I'm a bit at loss there, what do you think I did wrong?
Edit: I'm now the first result for "nexus one"+"cannot connect to daemon" on google.fr. Yay me!
I'm not an expert, merely a messenger. But it appears adb isn't starting for you somehow.
I'd look into that.
Try launching it manually and trying to get a list of connected devices. (should give one named HTC#########)
Also if you have unlocked your bootloader then there are other methods to try.
Thanks Airbag888!
For future fellow rooters in need, here is what I did :
Tried to run a sample adb command from the command line, got the dreaded "ADB server didn't ACK"
Opened the Task Manager, noticed two instances of adb running, killed them both
Ran adb devices once again, and TADAA! it worked!
Mad with hope, launched DooMLoRD's script, and so far, it's running. Right now, I've reached the "executing zergRush" stage.
It's been running for a few minutes with no error message so far... Murphy's Law dictates that the process surely is frozen
Edit:
It has indeed frozen (or silently crashed) at "executing zergRush". Killed the adb process again, started the script again. But we're making progresses, I'm now stuck at
Code:
...
[+] Rush did it ! It's a GG, man !
[+] Killing ADB and restarting as root... enjoy!

If your bootloader is unlocked, why are you even bothering with this. Just start up your phone in fastboot mode, connect to your computer, and flash a custom recovery (i.e., fastboot flash recovery <NameOfYourRecoveryHere.img>, then boot into your custom, and flash ChainsDD's superuser zip. Done.
If your bootloader is unlocked, you never have to worry about root, because you can root at any time...

Because I feel like keeping the stock ROM until the first ICS-based custom ROMS are out. I just want root access to get the hang of tinkering with my N1 and trashing some bloatware apps.

What does that have to do with anything? Did you read the rest of my post? What I gave you was the way to root if your bootloader is unlocked. I never mentioned anything about switching ROMS...

Much simpler. No change to your stock ROM at all.
Finally a exploit that doesnt involve formatting my phone
Now, I am planning to run this exploit when I get home tonight
My phone at the moment is 2.3.4 and I would guess this exploit would work for it?
And I also guess you can't install clockworkmod without unlocking your bootloader?

I successfully rooted 2.3.4 using the exploit. Then installed RA Amon recovery rather than ClockworkMod (personal choice). Then onto CyanogenMod 7.1 and S2E for loading my apps onto SD Card. All worked perfectly fine too.

You don't need to unlock the bootloader to install recovery or any different rom or run nandroid backup etc
Just picked up a Fire today...
Can't seem to get ADB to recognize it on Mac 10.7.
Installed the SDK, running adb from directly inside platform-tools.
I have adb_usb.ini in ~/.android with the correct id line inside.
If I try to do ./adb devices while the Fire is connected, I get:
Code:
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *
error: cannot connect to daemon
That's after doing ./adb kill-server and ps ax | grep adb to make sure it's not still running.
Any ideas? It runs correctly (no SERVER DIDN'T ACK message) when I run ADB without the Fire connected, but it still doesn't come up in the device list.
Edit: I got hold of a windows computer and was able to use the Kindle Fire Utility without issue. Not sure what's going on with Lion.
Hey,
I tried several times to root my thinkpad tablet with the Thinkpad Tablet Root Exploit but only got "Exploit failed".
Unfortunately the thinkpadforums.com is currently down so I couldn't search for solutions.
The Tablet is connected to the PC and I can see the device in adb. It's also connected to a WIFI network.
I also tried to make a factory reset -> "Exploit failed"
I don't know what to do and hope you can help me.
Thanks

Could you elaborate on this? I'm also having trouble getting the exploit to work on my tablet, even after multiple tries and a factory reset... What exactly are the packages that you installed that helped?

Hey,
because the thinkpadtabletforum was down I couldn't see the instructions for the Android SDK.
I forgot
Code:
3.3 At the end of the install chose to run the Android SDK Manager.
3.4 You will need the following package for the TPT:
-Android SDK Tools
[B]-Android 3.1 (API 12)[/B]
-Extras > Google USB Driver package
Check the status column for each and if is not installed select the check box beside the packages and click the Install Packages button.
3.5 If you get a Dependencies List select the Accept All radio button and click the Install button.
I hope this helps you.
Trekky
Don't believe what your c prompt says. I've heard a lot of folk saying theirs looked like it failed, but they have root access now. Check to see of you have access to your root directory with Root Explorer, ESFile Explorer, or another app that requires root. You also may need to download SU and Terminal from Market.
Hey,
I have the same problem. I started off with a factory reset.
I can see my device in adb. It is connected to a WIFI network, it is connected by USB, the screen is on, USB debugging is also switched on. I got all the needed packages in Android SDK [except the Google TV Addon which can be found under Android 3.1 --> it says: "Not compatible with Windows"]
Here is my log (just in case)

And yes, I am aware that for some people, although they experienced some errors as well, the root worked just well. I do not seem to be one of the lucky ones.
I don't know what I can do anymore. I followed all the steps, everything works except that stupid root.
Edit: I think this has to do with the firmware update which came in during the last days. I installed the update and tried the root just afterwards but got the same "Exploit failed" result. That was the reason why I did a factory reset in the first place.
Sorry dude, the latest update fixed the exploit. The only thing you can do now is wait till some one finds a new exploit. Either that or haope that your micro usb port breaks and then get the main board replaced as that will likely be on old version you can then do the root again, that's hoping the service engineer is feelkng helpful and run all the updates for you.

Hey all,
I just wasted a few hours getting my axon 7 to connect to my pc running ArchLinux without luck.
lsusb gives me the following:
Code:
$ lsusb

I think I've tried just about every combination of udev rules I could find on the internet. At the moment they are:
Code:
$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="19d2", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0306", MODE="0666", GROUP="adbusers"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb",ATTRS{idVendor}=="19d2",ATTRS{idProduct}=="0306",SYMLINK+="android_adb", GROUP="adbusers"
My user is a member of 'adbusers' and my phone is in USB debugging mode, also the USB thing is set to MTP.
Still, adb devices gives the following:
Code:
$ adb devices
List of devices attached
* daemon not running. starting it now at tcp:5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

The phone also never asks for confimation or anything like that.
Has anyone here encountered something similar or know what I'm missing?
Thanks in advance

I had the same problem in Windows when using a custom rom. Enabling 'adb over network' solved it for me (the 'Allow USB debugging' window came up). even though it's seemingly unrelated
If that doesn't work try adb while phone is in TWRP (if you have it)
Hey fellow arch user here, (pacman ftw)
I had this same problem earlier with adb and fastboot. The solution is to run adb and fastboot commands as superuser. ie sudo fastboot ..... and sudo adb ......
