I recently got a new Nexus One and loaded up 2.3 on it. The process is extremely simple, and doesn't require unlocking. Here's how to do it:
Download SuperOneClick to your PC. The only thing is to note is that the instructions have an extra step that should be skipped:
Turn USB Debugging OFF
Click Root
When it says: Waiting for Device, Turn USB Debugging ON
It'll now run RATC
When it says: Starting ADB Server...
Turn USB Debugging OFF
Turn USB Debugging ON
Turn USB Debugging OFF <- Don't do this part
All BEFORE it says "Waiting for device..." again

From the Android Market, install Root Checker on your phone and make sure you have root access. If so, congrats, you're rooted!
Download MicroMod's Gingerbread ROM (or any ROM of your choosing) to your microSD card.
- Note: If you're not installing a new ROM and just want to use a new recovery, you need to remove two files before installing the Recovery. See this post for more info.
From the Android Market, install ROM Manager. (Thread link for more info: Amon_RA's RA Recovery)
- Select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and wait for it to finish
- Select "Flash Alternate Recovery" and wait for it to finish -> this will install the latest version of RA recovery.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Reboot into Recovery.
- Backup/Restore -> Nand backup
- Wipe -> Wipe ALL data/factory reset
- Flash zip from sdcard -> Choose zip from sdcard -> Choose the zip of the downloaded ROM
- Reboot system now
Congrats! Enjoy Gingerbread! (And future ROM'ing!)

One click doesn't work for my nexus one running 2.2.2 it gets stuck on waiting for device I turn off the phone and on while plug in to the comp and still doesn't work. am I doing something wrong?

Why do you make people install clockworkmod first and RA then? I think CWM is just fine, it's up to the user. In any case, why not downloading RA one directly?

Because that's what the instructions say in the thread from Amon_RA himself; you know, the actual creator of the recovery. Notice it's a quote, directly from him.

Even this "Easy method" adds steps. You can skip half of your method by paying for Rom Manager and using it to flash Clockwork and a rom of your choosing.
The steps would then be to simply root (however you can), PAY for Rom Manager because it is just awesome, then install Clockwork and the latest CM7 Gingerbread nightly directly from within Rom Manager.
Clockwork and RA are very similar. I used to use RA and had no problems with it, but Rom Manager needs Clockwork to be really useful. I highly suggest paying for Rom manager and letting it do all the work.
Gaining root is the hard part. Flashing alternative roms is not. Once you root, it is smooth sailing.

Also, using flash_img in a terminal can be a little messy. CWM gives the whole process a nice GUI, even if you end up on Amon_RA.

CWM has toggles for signature and assert checks, which is a feature RA doesn't have (if it has, it's been implemented from CWM). BTW I think they're really the same thing, this is why I asked
EDIT: BTW Amon_RA created nothing but a fork of the original recovery, so he's not the creator, but a (heavy) modder

Try this: turn your phone OFF, load up SOC, then click "root" and wait till it says "waiting for device". THEN plug up your phone and power it on. That's what works for me. If that fails, download pda net on your N1 and PC and connect it. It'll install the correct/missing drivers, then use SOC as I mentioned above. That's how I rooted on 2.2.2

Only gingerbread root options are unlock the bootloader or try and downgrade and root.

Then why was this thread made? And how do you downgrade?

This thread was made before Gingerbread was released...
To downgrade, you follow the "Unroot/restore" guide from the wiki, using the passimg method and the FRG33 image. It works for most people, but for some reason there's a few people it just refuses to work for...

it worked for me, thanks

Thanks it worked super for me

to use Gingerbreak babe it 's more simpler..

editing-because i rooted my nexus one
this worked like charm

Howdy all!
Did you install TWRP and then take the OTA, now you can't get your phone to boot normally, but you do see TWRP?
Here's the easy fix:
If you have ADB access, plug in your phone and run this:
Then you should be able to successfully reboot your phone via the TWRP menu option, or via a simple reboot command in adb.
If you DONT have ADB access (because of an early build of TWRP), you can simply use TWRP's awesome "terminal command" option to run the following:
You'll have to type that whole thing out, and be VERY careful with spaces and punctuation. One wrong letter and you could nuke your phone.
After that finishes, you can reboot and continue on your happy way!
Let me know if this helps anyone!
As usual, I'm on #lg-g2 in Freenode as IOMonster, if I'm around I'll be happy to help wherever I can.

try holding the power buttons for ten seconds or more if it boots into twrp and then just reflash your rom?

I screwed my phone too the day after I got lol but no worries its easy to fix. You just need to download a stock ROM and flash it, you don't even lose any data.
Just follow this simple guide.

[Q] Clockworkmod Recovery on AT&T Galaxy S4

First, what I have is the Galaxy S4 from AT&T. It was running Android 4.2.2 but I installed the OTA 4.3 (MK2) update and rooted it. For some reason I can't get the CWM recovery to start. It always goes to the stock recovery. I have tried all the combinations and timings with the three buttons, reflashed CWM with ROM Manager, and tried with GOO Manager. Also, nothing with ODIN wants to work. I've seen countless YouTube vids of Odin working with 4.3 on at&t but it won't complete with mine. Am I missing something? I've been at this for hours. Any help would be great.

Interesting. Although it does require 4.2.2 to work. I am running 4.3 and Odin doesn't like doing anything with my GS4 for some reason. It seems like they are getting closer but it might be I still just have to wait awhile.

HAHAHA. Read more bro? What how did you just acquire a MF3 still? Sounds like you know a little about what you are doing. But the boot-loader is locked down tight with sha-1 256 bit encryption..... Oh, Oh, Did you get a Red one, I really want one of those. Please read about q-fuse software flips.... With every bootloader update. Congrats have fun. Keep trying to flash twrp or cwm you won't even be able to boot into stock recovery. Sounds like you know what you are doing with Odin and all that.... Good Luck.
---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 PM ----------
Here is a tut I wrote some time back:
You should realy read.... All of us on MF3 know that !!... That was one of the fist ways to boot back up. Safe strap is going to be a savior for you.... Basically this has been discussed a million times..... If you are on MF3 you cannot downgrade you can only upgrade or stay on MF3, If you want 4.3 sooooo bad I will link it for you. But I suggest staying patient. There is nothing really that improved over 4.2.2. So I would advise you not to upgrade but I will post the links and tell you how to do it. One if you were smart you would have made a nandroid backup thru SS and then when you boot into that you stay on the stock rom slot. Hit then go in and write your backup just the system folder.... So you won't lose all of your data. Now if you didn't make a nandroid backup. Then you can try flashing the stock recovery and fixing the permissions thru safe strap..... IF that doesn't work well you are just up the creek.....
HAHAHAHA. JK Get odin and get the MF3 Tar.MD5 files But your phone manually into odin mode and Go back to stock MF3. Seriously read, read, read. I will make it real easy for you this time. By posting links but you are just asking for it. So first grab these files: https://mega.co.nz/#!WEEzSA7Z!aB46731_AwM7P83eMdDlmFYd1hUZfFBcQAZjc1X7wAE These are the stock MF3 files that were contributed to the community by Shockndrop: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502003
Now grab Odin, I prefer this one: ODIN 1.85 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1262272
Now put the MD5 files in their proper places in odin and and hook your phone up with a Good **** Solid Universal Serial Bus Cable: Like pitured here:

Put her down into a coma AKA, ODIN Recovery mode manualy by holding power, home, and volume down. Then when prompt after the warning volume up to continue. Flash with Odin to restore to stock MF3. Brand Spaking new!!!!
Use your favorite root Method, New root method is the only one we support here on XDA, Which involves an SD Card,and the Terminal from the Play store. Or if you want the fast and dirty way because you are lazy do the Kingo root, I don't indorse it, but I have yet to hear anything negative about it, other than speculation. Links: http://www.kingoapp.com/android-root/download.htm - one click method Easy.
Old proper way: Quoting Jortex "HOWTO:
Use a card reader to format the micro SD card to exFAT (FAT32 or other formats does not work) in Windows. I haven't tried Linux or MacOS X, so they may not work.
Download the attached file (Root_for_ATTSG4_FM3.rar) http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2165629&d=1375669716 and extract it into the root of your EXTERNAL microSD card using the card reader in Windows. (You can do the extraction using WinRAR, http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm or 7-zip, http://www.7-zip.org/download.html ).
Put the SD card back to the phone and download the Android Terminal Emulator app.
Open the Terminal Emulator app and run below 3 commands:
Code:
cd /mnt/extSdCard
./pwn
./script.sh
Then, open SuperSU and check everything looks good.
Then open a root app and it should be working properly.
Reboot your device once to confirm root is still working after reboot.
Come back to the post and press the THANKS button
Notes:
I uploaded a screenshot from the Terminal screen where the instructions are entered. Yours should be the same except you don't need to enter the "ls -l" command. It's just to show what files I have on the SD card. Ignore LOST.DIR directory.
Remove any SuperSU apps from your phone before following the above steps. script.sh installs it automatically.
You can use adb shell instead of a terminal app which is more convenient but requires Android SDK. Follow these steps only if you are about to use adb:
Download and install all Samsung Galaxy S 4 drivers from here: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-I337ZWAATT#
Activate Developer options -> USB Debugging mode. To have the phone show the Developer options, go to Settings -> More -> About device. Tap on "Build number" 6 times.
You have to use an external SD card. No other alternative have been found yet. Using the device storage, i.e. /mnt/sdcard, or /data/local/tmp, DOES NOT work.
Warning (suggested by rushi.1986): "We have root for MF3 but we neither have a working recovery, nor an ODIN back to stock package. Be very careful what you do with your root. At this point, there is no way to recover even from a soft brick. (unless you know exactly what caused the soft brick and can correct it using adb)"
For those who do not know how to format an SD card on Windows (thanks to jee'sgalaxy):
Insert the micro SD into the computer (may have to use a reader or a micro SD adapter).
Go to "My Computer".
Right click on your SD card that showed up.
Click Format.
Choose exFAT as the format.
Click "OK".
Don't forget to press the THANKS button.

I've got this unit, installed and tried a couple of ROMs (image updates) on it until I found the one I liked. Just go back to the original post, down load an image update file you like, get the v2.64 MCU-img file as well (follow the links) put them both in the root of the GPS card boot into recovert (hold down reset and power, release reset then power) flash the image/MCU files (second option down).
Reboot and enjoy your rooted unit.

You don't need an app. By entering that specific password you're rooted. You should also complete the whole thing by writing adbon
in the same field. If you go to settings you will find #superuser which was not there before rooting.

Honestly, you don't need to put any rom in there, just write the specific command for rooting in the same field as the password for entering factory settings *#hct#root#. This is all described wiki. http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Hui_Fei_Type

abdon not working
Just to make sure I am doing this correctly.
I went to play store and downloaded superuser.
I went to factory settings and put in *#hct#root# then I pressed OK I got a message ADB ROOT. I went back to factory settings and put in abdon and got wrong password. Does *#hct#root# and abdon have to be entered at the same time like *#hct#root#abdon ? I know there is no root terminal emulator will not take su command and root checker say no root. Any advice?

You don't have to download anything. Just make the command *#hct#root#. When you get adbroot, your rooted. That's it. You're making it too complicated.
If adbon doesn't work for you no harm done. Try it another time. Why download superuser? It's there in settings without any downloading.

Maybe because you've been fiddling around by downloading and installing. Uninstall what you have been installing
and try again and look out for adbroot. #superuser will appear one row under factory settings. Of course you have to reboot the unit.

Do you have developer options. I pressed build 7 times nothing happens

Update. I factory reset head unit . *#hct#root# Still no superuser. I also updated MCU to 2.78. Still no superuser. And I lost radio reception b/c of upgrade. I downgraded MCU to 2.54 that restored radio.
So I went and download a rooted custom rom and installed by sdcard. Head unit took *#hct#root# password and is now showing superuser. And is rooted.

just in case anyone is wondering, just download "kingo root" on your pumpkin head unit, click the one click root button and that's it! it takes about 2-3 full minutes so be patient! it will stick at 90% for awhile, then full root access.

LG Stylo 2 Boost Varient Permanent Root Accomplished!

PLEASE HIT THANKS IF THIS WORKS FOR YOU
ok guys i got permanent root there is one pre qualification you will need to accomplish this you must be on software version LS775ZV3 currently this is the only version that can get temp root from kingroot which is what you will need to start this process. ok so if your one of the lucky ones that have that software version and didnt update go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461 and download the latest version of kingroot which i believe is 4.9.6 install it and run it and get temp root, after you verify that your phone is rooted what we need to do now is replace kingroot with super su without rebooting the phone a softboot is ok the temp root will stick with a softboot your going to have to go to the link and follow the guide there to replace kingroot with super su using terminal emulator http://forum.xda-developers.com/a310/general/how-to-remove-replace-kingroot-kinguser-t3308989 . so after you follow that guide kingroot will be gone and super su is now on your phone. super su will ask you to update the su binary make sure to use the normal option, after you press that button it will start to update but will fail so what your going to have to do next is install (Root) FlashFire to install the su binary update manually which can be found here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.flash&hl=en and the su binary zip file can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 . i recommend the stable version, download that zip and put it at the root of your internal memory after you do that and install FlashFire on your phone its time to get down to business open FlashFire when it asks for root permission make sure to grant it after that hit the + symbol then press the button that says "flash zip or ota" when it opens it will show the content of your internal memory locate the su binary zip file that you put there earlier and press it to load it up to flash, make sure the only thing checked is the "mount/system read/ write" and hit the check mark to ok it then hit the wipe button and make sure the only two things checked are the "Dalvik cache" and the "Cache partition" hit the check mark to ok it. after that scroll down to the very bottom and hit the flash button after that it will start to flash the updated su binary and then it will reboot and i know it seems scary but the red notification light will stay on until it reboots all the way and there will be red text that pops up and says boot verification fail it scared the hell out of me i thought i bricked my phone again anyway give it a minute or two to boot and once its done and boots into android you have a fully rooted LG Stylo 2 like i said i have the boost variant not sure about the other versions but these steps are pretty universal on any android device also just so i don't get blamed do this at your own risk im not responsible for you messing your phone up but it worked for me perfectly i have restarted my phone normally a hundred times and root is there every time anyways enjoy im not much of a developer so please don't ask me about custom recoveries or custom roms i don't do that but now that we have root maybe a developer might come in and help or something.

when you remove the battery and restart the phone is it able to boot back into android? not sure why it would hang just follow the steps to a T it should work, this is the exact same way they rooted the kindle fire 7 5th gen with blocked bootloaders as well that is why I said its pretty universal and not device specific but if your phone is fine just reboot and retry.

I've rebooted and retried multiple times over and always have the same issue. My phone has always had the red writing when you first power it up, ever since I rooted it with KingRoot anyways. Is there anyway to get it back to 100% stock? Would that help? And when I say 100% stock I mean above and beyond wiping it

You must be getting some error message on the black screen. It usually fails if the framework is incorrect.

Make sure your phone isn't Version 4. If it is....then that's probably your issue. This method only works for Version 3 not 4

Hhhhhmmmm......I would say to put all your info that doesn't expose you up on here so people know of your issue. Speak to an admin or the OP and see what info they would require to be posted. Every article I've read so far has been positive when it comes to V3 on Boost variant of Stylo 2. Unfortunately I have V4; so I'm patiently waiting.

Silly Me.
(This method Of Permanent Root works :angel: ,But I Was expermenting..)I Soft Bricked My Lg Stylo 2 Boost Varient,But I managed To Flash A Foreign Recovery.img (Twrp) That works Just enough for me to debug My Phone Long story short...i have a corrupted Boot.img And I Need To replace it with A Working One..The Only Problem is That I Dont Have a Boot.Img Of "Lg Stylo 2 BoostVarient {lss75)" If Some One has this Phone Could they Download "Partitions Backup & Restore" From the playstore* and backup boot.img ...and Post It Or send It.
