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...
I have rooted my HTC Wildfire and now i need to get CyanogenMod 7 on it ...
i have downloaded Rom manager i flashed ClockworkMod Recovery mode into the phone...
But when i enter Recovery mode its just the regular Recovery screen that comes up...
I have tryied this 3 times and it still wont work (also after resetting the whole phone)
How do i get ClockworkMod Recovery mode on my phone then ?
EDIT :
I installed CM7 via ROM MANEGER and now i need to install Google Apps.
But when i go into Revolutionary CMW (Revovery mode) and try to Select "apply update from sdcard" all the text just disapers and nothing new is comming up...
What do i do ?
Flashing from rom manager will not give a permanent recovery for wildfire (when there is no custom recovery at first). But such kind of process is there for other phones.

So how to get cm7 based recovery . Cm7 needs CWM 3.x or higher recovery. The answer depends on whether u have used unrevoked or alpharev (=revolutionary) to root ur phone.
If u used unrevoked, u must be having some recovery. Here u can use rom manager to flash 3.x recovery and reboot to recovery from within rom manager to temporarily get 3.x + recovery which can flash cm7. Or u can download a 3.x + recovery.img file and use unrevoked again to flash that recovery. Here u should select the custom recovery option in unrevoked and point to ur downloaded file.
And if u have used revolutionary, there will be an option during the revolutionary process where to install custom recovery or not. U can choose to install. Or once u have s-off, fastboot flashing will be enabled. So u can flash a recovery from fastboot with the help of a PC. This is more preferrable. There are also other options. If u search the dev forums u will see posts explaining to install recovery through "pc49img" method. Also "flash_image" method. Both these wont need a pc unlike all the above methods.

Problem solved but a new one is here
I installed CM7 via ROM MANEGER and now i need to install Google Apps.
But when i go into Revolutionary CMW (Revovery mode) and try to Select "apply update from sdcard" all the text just disapers and nothing new is comming up...
What do i do ?
Choose 'Install Zip from SDCard', not 'Apply update from SDCard'
I have tryied all of them....
inclusive "power down" and not even that works its only removing the text and nothing new comes up
Use the trackball for selecting stuff in Clockworkmod. Not the Power button.
WOW FAIL BY ME !!!
Sry guys im still noob at rooting
Thank you for the help.
PROBLEM SOLVED!

What are the steps you've done so far? I know this may sound stupid, but you did flash CWM right? The other day I came across someone who was confused for ages then realised he didn't actually flash CWM
Have you Installed CWM recovery ?

Dont worry man, once you install CWM, you will be able to install a NAND rom of your choice on the internal memory of your phone. The rom you install will have everything eg. kernels, scripts. Basically all you need to do is install CWM then install a rom of your choice. Here is a guide to do install clockworkmod(CWM)
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...kmod-recovery-on-android-htc-hd2-with-magldr/
and here is how to install a rom using clockworkmod
1. turn off you phone
2. turn it on while keeping the power button pressed (dont let go until you see the MAGLDR menu)
3. Go to option 8 "AD recovery"
4. You will boot into clockworkmod
5. Go to mounts and storage
6. Mount the sd card(connect your phone to the pc via usb cable, and then select this option)
7. Place your downloaded rom .zip file on the sd card, root level
8. unmount your fone.
9. Go to "install zip from sd card option"
10. then select "choose zip from sd card"
11. Select the rom.
12. The rom will be installed on your fones internal memory.
13. When it is done, just reboot your phone.
14. ENJOY
NOTE: Remember to choose the correct partition size when selecting which clockworkmod to install. there are 150mb, 250mb and 400mb partitions available. The procedure to install them is the same.
Hope it helps.
any questions
Give me a thanks if you found this post useful

Yeah, follow ^his guide. In case you get lost and want more detail, follow this guide. It also includes things such as partitioning the SD if needed.
When he talks about partition sizes, you need to look at the first post of the ROM you want to flash, and see what it says. Then use either the HD2 NAND Toolkit to flash that size, or do the following:
1. Download a CWM file (e.g. the ones at the bottom of the guide I posted)
2. Open the folder
3. Find flash.cfg (not flash.cfg.txt) and open it with notepad
4. Change the system value to the one stated in the OP
5. Save the file
6. Go to USB Flasher in MAGLDR
7. Connect phone to PC
8. Run Daf.exe in the CWM folder
9. Boot into CWM and follow the steps by adil1508 or the guide I posted to flash a ROM.

I genuinely cannot make it any simpler than this guide. When it says flash the correct partition size, use the HD2 NAND Toolkit to flash a 175mb partition.

I have Iris 356 and i'm thinking to root phone much easier with hope it works.
Download update*SuperSU*.zip and place in sdcard
Using ADB boot to recovery (Since It's not possible through Power+VolDown)
Flash .zip from sdcard
And That's it
Do you think my method would work??

1. Install Recovery Tools from above link.
2. You will get a prompt to backup your stock recovery. DO IT.
3. Download recovery file from here and copy it to your phone.
4.Select 'Flash Recovery' option.
5. Select 'from storage' and select it from your phone.
6. flash it.
You're done!
