hi
I have a Nexus One on Official 2.3.4 update and i'm trying to root the phone, i'm having a hard time with the recovery image, I really like to know what i should do next.
1. read lots tutorials
2. Installed Android SDK and USB Driver for ADB thingy
3. downloaded and put fastboot in platform-tool and successfully unlocked bootloader
4. cannot get recovery to work, intended to install clockworkmod and RA one both give me the ! logo when i intend to boot in it
Questions
1. Should i downgrade first and then do this, if so, how does it work (if someone have a link to step by step tutorial)
2. Other methods
thanks a million
How are you trying to install recovery, and what errors/results are you seeing? Should be:
fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img
How are you booting into recovery (if you reboot the phone, you will lose recovery)? Should be:
fastboot boot name-of-recovery.img
No need to downgrade. An unlocked bootloader is all you'll ever need...

i install recovery that way yes, but i didn't boot that way, thanks i will try right now, will report back
EDIT - that works thanks so much, now i'm gonna attempt to root.
now i encounter another issue
so far i been following this guild http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636795
and i cannot reboot to recovery after vol down+power menu.
do i just enter recovery with fastboot boot command and go from there?
what would be a better guild from this point on?
Place these two files on your sd card:
su zip: http://db.tt/BJudP0L
fix recovery zip: http://db.tt/ooDaCnU
Boot into recovery from the fastboot command, choose the flash zip from sd option, and flash the two files (one at a time). Done!
awesome, i had them installed. what's su and why is it recovery fix, if u don't mind can u explain these 2 files a little bit?
and what's next, do i just put the rom i'm flashing in the SD Card root and use recovery mode to install the zip?
going to use Cyanogen 7 for nexus one (update-cm-7.0.3-N1-signed.zip)
and also, what is this Google Add-on i read from the tutorial?

su is short for superuser.. its basically using the root user account..
btw 7.1 RC is out if youre interested.. also take a look at the nightly releases
If you're going to install a custom rom like cm7 you do not have bother with the su part.
Put cm rom on the sd ( can be anywhere you just navigate to it) and the google addons (those or the gapps like the market etc.)
Flash custom recovery
Boot directly into the recovery (if you boot the os it overwrites the new recovery with the stock one)
Flash cm7
flash gapps.
reboot into cm7...
Your custom recovery will now stay there until you either flash a different one. Or flash a stock rom.

great, now u said flash cm7 do u mean "install zip file" but pick the cm7 file?
also, google add on, where should i acquire it?
also, for nightly release of cm (cm7.1 rc) for nexus one i should download the one called "passion" is that correcT?
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly
Also forgot to mention to do a wipe before you flash. That is also done in recovery.
gapps http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip That is
In recovery you pick install zip file. You then browse to your cm7 rom.zip or any rom for the matter and install. Do the same for the gapps. Do the same for any other flashable zip like kernals etc.
Yes. Nightly/stable/RC's all have to passion (nexus 1)
Also for future reference post ?s in the Q and A section. A mod will probably move it there or delete this thread.

Great!
i will keep that in mind for sure.
Update: Method Works now i know how to flash and root nexus one, awesome guys thanks a million.
Conclusion and Steps I did (probably helpful to many people like me research tons different tutorials)
1. Download Android SDK and install it,
2. Find "Nexus One USB Driver" download and install it, now install bootloader (follow guide here, but only do up to the boot loader part http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636795)
3. Find "fastboot" download and extract it to Android SDK installation folder (one called Platform-tools)
4. download a recovery img, i got clockwork 3.0.0.5.
5. download the su (super user) (i dunno if this is necessary but i did it anyway, links are in previous replies) and copy the zip file to ur sd card.
6. download the custom rom u want to use and copy to sd card as well (i use cyanogenmod 7.1 rc here)
7. download the google addon and copy the zip to the sd card as well (link provided in previous replies)
8. go to start and type cmd to load up command prompt in windows (i use windows 7)
9. get to c:\program files (x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools\ (i use windows 7 64bit, if it's 32bit system, no need for (x86))
10. hold trackball + power to enter bootloader and fastboot usb enable (should be automatic)
11. type fastboot flash recovery [recovery name.img] (in Windows Command Prompt)
12. type fastboot boot [recovery name.img] (in windows command prompt)
13. do a backup first, then wipe all data and cache, and then navigate to "install zip" and install su, recovery fix, custom rom, google addon, one by one b4 restart
14. after all done, restart, and that's it.
it works for me. but of course, i'm pretty noob, you are still taking ur own risk if u follow my experience..
Step 5 (recovery fix) is only necessary if you are sticking with a stock ROM. All it does is delete the two files that restore the stock recovery. These two files are only in the stock ROM, which is why you don't need to do this if you install a custom ROM...
Also, as started earlier, you can also skip the su zip if you plan on installing a custom ROM...
WARNING: Using sections A, B or E will increase your flash counter and thus void your warranty.
NOTE: This device is almost unbrickable so long as you don't mess around with bootloaders, so if something goes wrong post in the Q&A section and we'll help you fix it.
MODEL NUMBER KEY:before you use this guide, you must find your model number.
First digit: 5 for tab 10.1, 3 for tab 7.0
Final three digits: 100 for 3g, 110 for wifi international, 113 for wifi American
SECTIONS:
A. Root stock ICS or JB
B. Install a JB-based ROM
C. Install a ICS-based ROM
D. Install a kernel
E. Restore to stock
F. Flash a file with Mobile ODIN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Root stock ICS or JB
This should root any gtab2 10.1 or 7.0 model running ICS or JB. It will not wipe any data.
1. Download and install if you don't already have them:
SAMSUNG KIES
Odin v1.83
2. Download the correct ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) for your device according to model number:
CWM6 for p5100
CWM6 for p5110
CWM6 for p5113
CWM6 for p3100
CWM6 for p3110 and p3113
3. Put the SuperSU installer zip on your MicroSD card or internal storage.
4. Turn off the tablet
5. Hold volume UP (away from power button) for a few seconds
6. Volume DOWN (towards the power button) to confirm that you want to enter download mode
7. Open ODIN
8. Plug in your tablet. A box in ODIN should turn yellow.
9. Click PDA and browse to the recovery file you downloaded in step two.
10. Uncheck Auto Reboot In ODIN
11. Click Start.
12. Hold power until the screen goes black to get out of download mode. Hold power and volume down until you see the "Galaxy Tab 2" screen. If you mess up and the tablet boots normally, start over from step four. If your recovery says "stock recovery <3e>", then you missed a button combo when booting and Clockworkmod was overwritten by your ROM. No harm done, just start over from step 4.
13. Use the volume buttons to navigate to install zip from sdcard, then choose zip from sdcard (or internal storage)
14. Select the zip file you downloaded in step 3 and install it.
15. Click "reboot system now"
16. If you're on 4.0.4 or 4.1.1, you will see a message asking you if you want to delete the OEM/stock recovey. Say yes.
16. You should be rooted!
NOTE: CWM recovery can deleted if you perform a normal boot when your tab is on the 4.0.4 or 4.1 stock ROM. If your recovery is deleted, perform steps 4-12 again to get it back.

E. Restore to stock
THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DATA! IT MAY ALSO WIPE YOUR INTERNAL SDCARD, SO BACK ANY DATA ON IT UP!
p5100: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-P5100/
p5110: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-P5110/
p5113: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-P5113/

8. Try to boot the tablet. If it hangs, do not panic, just repeat step 2.
9. Enjoy!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
F. Flash a file with Mobile ODIN
Using Mobile ODIN is recommended for advanced users only. You must have root.
Using Mobile ODIN will NOT increase your flash counter, and therefore your warranty will remain intact.
1. Extract or copy the file you want to flash to your tablet. If you're flashing a ROM, you only want the PLATFORM/PDA file (.tar.md5) (almost always the largest file)
NOTE: There are no .pit files in Mobile ODIN. They are installed along with your flashkernel.
2. Download either Mobile ODIN pro ($5) OR Mobile ODIN lite (does not include EverRoot, so you will need to re-root using ODIN) and the p51xx FlashKernel from here.
3. Click on Open File... in Mobile ODIN and find the file you want to flash.
4. If you're flashing a ROM, click Recovery and click clear on the window that pops up.
5. If applicable, enable EverRoot.
6. Select both Wipe data and cache and Wipe Dalvik cache
7. Click flash firmware.
THANKS: weltwon and Chainfire for root & unroot method, codeworkx for the newer versions of CWM, count dooku for discovering than TW ROM's don't include a kernel the hard way, invisiblek for testing stock ROM on p5113, and all you devs who make custom ROM's and kernels.
If this guide has helped you, please hit the thanks button.
Great work!! Thank you!
New Recovery
There is a new one from here without double image from here and is a bit faster link here:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722063
@jamesclinton: How did you install the new recovery?
i have the old one with the double image. But when I want to confirm to proceed to odin my tab restart. Odin does not recognize my tab until it starts up
btw: do you know if i can flash de new ROM with the old recovery?

GT-P5100_XEO_P5100XWALD7_P5100XXLD7_P5100OXXALD9.rar
this link is unable
If you mean the stock ROM's, both of those links work!
Well, crap
I just bought a GT-P5113 from Fry's yesterday and followed your instructions down to the letter. I was only able to get CM9 working but it is having wifi issues (many apps give `fail to download` errors when they download something on the internet - like swiftkey getting language packs)
CleanROM (1.0 and 1.1) and InfectedROM both don't get past the "Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" screen. I even let it sit for an hour to see if something would resolve but it doesn't. I've cleared data, cache, dalvik, etc before each install. I reflashed CWM like 4 times, I've formatted everything except the kitchen sink, I've repaired permissions, nothing.
I wish wish WISH I had a backup of the stock rom to go to as it was a better option than what Im stuck with now (the experimental nightly of CM9)
Is anyone having the same problem and figured it out or am I just going to have to wait until better ROMs come out? :-/
You're going to have to be the tester for the restore to stock procedure above.

I feel your pain. I'm in the same predicament. CleanRom hangs, CM9 is buggy. Peel cannot detect the IR blaster. Pulse and galary are not showing images.
I wonder is there is a page were I can check what bugs have been found and what changes have been made in CM9 nightly?
Thanks.
You can try InfectedROM. I used it and had zero issues.
Thanks MultipleMonomials for the suggestion. Just tried it, but this infectedRom is freezing on the SamsungGalaxyTab2 10.1 boot screen as well. I've waited for 5minutes for something to happen. So I guess I'll hop back to my CM9 backup.
(If only I had a stock backup... well a lesson learned.)
Oh. That's what you meant when you said Cleanrom hung. You might try reflashing a TW kernel (i.e. ADB fix) after flashing InfectedROM. And I don't believe any custom ROM's have support for the IR blaster (I might be wrong).
If i wanted to return to the stock rom on the 7.0 (GT-P3113) which one should I download?
This guide isn't for the tab 7.0.
So to return to stock i have to install (p5110 taiwan android, the link that is in the first page in 4th point *Return TO stock*) even if i am italian because why it is called *Taiwan android p5110* ??!
thx
thanks for your share

Your suggestion worked and most of the stuff is back to normal. Even Peel is starting up again. Just one other item I hope you have a good suggestion for. My Gallery app is not stating up, I complains about not enough memory. I suspect this is due to some privilege issue. I had created a tmp folder on the internal SD to hold the CM9 zip. I cannot delete the folder. If I access the DCIM folder I can't delete any of the image files. Thus I suspect an issue with the privileges.
I ran the fix permissions option in the Clockwork menu, and also ran some other permission fixer of google play. But they did not fix the privileges with which I had issues. I searched the forum for a similar issue & solution, but was unable to find it.
Do you have a suggestion? Thanks in advance!
Hi i am italian and i have P5110 what i have to download and install to return to stock with polaris office, music read hub and simliar ????
count dooku, it looks like your sdcard is corrupted. Get a USB MicroSD reader (you really should have one anyway) and copy your sdcard to your computer. (now's a good time to delete that folder) Then, reformat the card using Windows. Lastly, copy the files back to your sdcard.
Andrew1998, just flash the p5110 stock package.
This guide shows you how to root and install a ROM.
I am NOT responsible for bricked devices or dead sd cards etc.
Hi,
Today i'm going to show you how to root and update your Galaxy S.
In this guide we flash custom kernel and rom.
But first, remember the drivers http://www.filefactory.com/file/3nhyqmo40111/n/SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.zip
Now the rooting part.
1.Download Semaphore kernel http://semaphore.gr/downloads Choose the first one. (Semaphore_2.7.4.tar)
2. It may look like a zip file but it is not. So do not extract the tar file.
3. Open Odin (if you don't have it download it from http://ul.to/o2xcp01n )
4. Switch off the phone and wait for vibration. When it vibrates it is completely off
5. Make sure you have drivers.
6. Put your phone to download download mode. To do that press vol down + home + power.
7. Now your phone should be in download mode. Plug it to computer (make sure odin is still open)
8. Click PDA tab and choose Semaphore_2.7.4.tar.
9. Click start
10. Wait
11. Wait more and then there should read Success! in odin
12. Now you can disconnect the phone.
13. Finish!
Now we are ready to install a custom ROM!
First you need to download a ROM. I recommend Cyanogenmod because it is popular, it has many features and it is stable. Here's the link http://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/49867/cm-10.2.0-galaxysmtd.zip
1. Download the ROM.
2. Put it to your phone's internal sd-card
3. Download gapps http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
4. Put it to your phone's sd-card
5. Reboot to recovery (vol up + home + power)
6. Wipe data/factory reset
7. Wipe cache
8. Advanced > wipe dalvik cache
9. Install zip from sd-card
10. Choose zip from sd-card
11. Select cm-10.2.0-galaxysmtd.zip
12. Confirm
13. Wait
14. Wait more
15. Wait even more
16. Go back
17. Don't reboot
18. Install zip from sd-card
19. Choose zip from sd-card
20. Choose gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
21. Confirm
22. Wait
23. Reboot
Now it's ready! You made it! You rooted and updated your phone. Be proud!
This is not correct guide.
Why?

Hi,
Today i'm going to show you how to root and update your Galaxy S.
In this guide we flash custom kernel and rom.
First you need to be sure that you have 2.3.6 XXJW4.
You can check it by going to settings > about phone > and there's baseband version.
If you have JW4 you can skip to rooting part.
If you don't have JW4, you need to flash it.
Installing JW4
1. You need the drivers. For 32 bit(x86) Windows http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml and for 64 bit(x64) Windows
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x64.shtml
2.Download the firmware http://www.hotfile.com/dl/150483619/708026d/I9000XXJW4_I9000OXAJW4_XEU.zip.html
3. Then you need extract the downloaded file I9000XXJW4_I9000OXAJW4_XEU.zip (from step 2) to any folder, you will get these 2 files:
JW4_JW4_JW4.tar
SS_DL.dll (ignore this file)
4. Download Odin which we will be using to flash XXJW4 on the phone. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?06v1nznuk3ng7gw
5. Disconnect your phone if it’s connected to PC. Then switch it off. Wait 5-6 seconds for vibration to confirm complete switch off.
6. Boot into recovery. To do this, press and hold the Volume_UP + Home + Power till the screen turns on, then let them go. You will boot into recovery soon enough.
7. Then, use the volume keys to navigate and the home/power key to select options, select wipe data/factory reset, then select Yes on next screen to confirm. After the data wipe is complete, remove and re-insert the battery, but don’t power it back on.
8. Put the Galaxy S in Download Mode. To do that press and hold these keys together: Volume down + Home + Power until a screen saying Download Mode comes up.
9. Open Odin (downloaded in step 4) — Odin3 v1.7.exe.
10. Connect your phone to PC now. You should get the message “Added!!” under Odin’s message box in the bottom left. If you don’t get this message, then probably there is a problem with drivers. Make sure you’ve proper drivers installed.
11. Now, in Odin, click the PDA Tab, and select the file JW4_JW4_JW4.tar
12. Important! Do not touch any other button or make any other changes in Odin except selecting the required file as given in step 11.
13. Now, hit the START button to begin the flashing process. When it finishes, your phone will automatically reboot, upon which you can unplug the cable. Plus, you’ll get a PASS (with green background) message in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin.
IMPORTANT Note: If ODIN gets stuck at some stage and doesn’t seem to be doing anything, do this — disconnect the phone from the PC, close ODIN, remove battery, re-insert it, turn phone on in Download mode again, and do the procedure again from Step 9. Same if you get a FAIL message in Odin.
14. Finish!
Now the rooting part.
1.Download CF-Root http://download.chainfire.eu/155/CF-Root/SGS/CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS.zip
2. Unzip the file and you get a tar file. It may look like a zip file but it is not. So do not extract the tar file.
3. Open Odin (if you don't have it download it from section 4 in installing part)
4. Switch off the phone and wait for vibration. When it vibrates it is completely off
5. Make sure you have drivers (JW4 installing section 1)
6. Put your phone to download download mode. To do that press vol down + home + power.
7. Now your phone should be in download mode. Plug it to computer (make sure odin is still open)
8. Click PDA tab and choose CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS.tar.
9. Click start
10. Wait
11. Wait more and then there should read Success! in odin
12. Now you can disconnect the phone.
13. Finish!
Now we are ready to install a custom ROM!
First you need to download a ROM. I recommend Cyanogenmod because it is popular, it has many features and it is stable. Here is link http://get.cm/get/3qH
1. Download the ROM.
2. Put it to your phone's internal sd-card
3. Download gapps http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
4. Put it to your phone's sd-card
5. Reboot to recovery (vol up + home + power)
6. Wipe data/factory reset
7. Wipe cache
8. Advanced > wipe dalvik cache
9. Install zip from sd-card
10. Choose zip from sd-card
11. Select cm-9.0.0-galaxysmtd.zip
12. Confirm
13. Wait
14. Wait more
15. Wait even more
16. Go back
17. Don't reboot
18. Install zip from sd-card
19. Choose zip from sd-card
20. Choose gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
21. Confirm
22. Wait
23. Reboot
Now it's ready! You made it! You rooted and updated your phone. Be proud!

here are the reason:
1. While installing jw4 in step 6 you have ask to boot in recovery and recovery only available when you have flashed a kernel which supports it.
2. If i already have recovery them why i should flash jw4 again and then again root it and flash the ics.
3. You have asked to put rom in internal sdcard and gapps in sdacrd... they should both be in same card else a new user might get confuse.
4. You haven't mention if user ends in bootloop what should he do?
I think this guide is just fine , go make your one if there's a problem^. Good job OP.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
I meant to write internal sd card for gapps and my sgs had stock recovery without root.
Have you ever heard about android stock recovery 3e?
And i forgot to write what to do if bootloop And fortunately nobody asked what to do if bootloop and if someone asks, i'll reply and explain what to do.

Is it... i haven't heard like this ever.
bakcup /efs
I didn't acutally read the whole thing so I don't know wether it's corret or not, but I think you should definitly advise the user to backup the /efs folder to prevent issues with IMEI/baseband.
(searched your guide for /efs and didn't find it anywhere)

I can create my own guide however did not want to have one more thread on the thing which is already there a lots of time rather than I will spread the already present guides.
boot loop
Hi,
I followed the entire guide and after getting and "Encryption Unsuccessful" -> Reset to Factory, I got a boot loop.
Any ideas on how I could fix this?
Thanks for the guide
Nash
--
UPDATE: Fixed the boot loop but still don't know why it happened. Can you shed a light? Still on 2.3
Thanks!
Nash
Were you flashing the Rom or gapps before getting the encryption error? It's possible that the zip files are corrupted or they have some errors. Try to redownload the files.
Thanks for your reply, but i want to know if that works with my phones stock rom
CF-Root is is available for almost every Samsung SGS stock rom(maybe for every stock rom) so you just need to tell me your baseband and i'll give instructions to do that for your ROM.
What if I still have Froyo installed? Where can I find instructions to upgrade to Gingerbread?
See the ''installing JW4'' section

I have this exact problem...I have followed the instructions to the T, Now my phone is just "bootlooping". Please can you tell me what to do?
Thanks in advance
Factory reset and try flashing again.
Uhh why don't you just suggest an odin flash of Darky's rom, then a CWM flash of CM9 then CM10. That would be a lot quicker and easier to read and explain.
it's a good guide, thanks

Hi ALL,
Good day!
I'm new in an Android Phone and just Rooted my device yesterday using the KingRoot.
I just wondering how to use a custom ROM available here in XDA in my Samsung Note III.
If there's a link on where I can review or follow the procedure, could you please redirect me.
I've already looked/searched for it but unfortunately, I can't get the answers on my own.
thanks in advance!
Mark

You choose a custom rom you read and understand the rom and its instructions then flash .
Many roms have how to videos .
Basics
Download the Rom
Enter Recovery Mode
Do a Full Wipe
Install The Rom
Reboot - The first boot can take up to 10 min

Is there any link also in doing the flash.. (apology for spoon feeding)
I just don't know how or where to start.. lol
TIA!
First step should be install a custom recovery. For example TWRP. You can't install with stock recovery.
Google : twrp for note 3 xda
Then read, read and install it.
Here is the link, you can see video.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2494245
Find a rom i development forums here and look for instructions there.
Steps....
-1. I am not responsible for any damage caused. This is how I learned and what I taught my friends using Sammy.
0. Backup all your data to SD card or PC.
1. go to https://twrp.me/Devices/ and search your device model and download the latest .tar file (something like 4.4.tar)
2. search download and install Kies in your PC, this is for getting all Samsung drivers.
3. search download and extract "odin 3.0.9" in a folder in your pc.
4. press Volume Down + Home + Power and get into Download mode (you'll have to press Volume Up if it asks to continue)
5. Now phone will show "Downloading", Run "Odin.exe" from odin folder and Connect your phone to PC via USB cable.
6. Odin will detect your phone in blue color in first slot, select the downloaded .tar file in Odin and click start
7. do not disconnect the phone as it will restart.
8. after restarting, remove phone. then shutdown.. press Volume Up + Home + power and get into recovery. (TWRP) (click Reboot System and use as normal)
9. Download your favorite (flashable zip of) ROM, click Wipe (select all in TWRP, will erase all data)
10. After successful wipe, click install, select ROM zip from SD card and follow onscreen instructions.
11. After install, go to Wipe or Advanced Wipe and "Clear Dalvik Cache"
12. Reboot System. Enjoy
