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 couldnt find any fix or helpful answers elsewhere on the web
Many of you are aware of the status 7 installation abort when trying to install a new rom
Ive been tinkering since last night trying to get miui 2.10.12 on my nexus 7 and every time I get a "Installation Abort (Status 7)
how do I get it to finish installation?
ive tried with multiple roms, CM10, MIUI, Kang all have same result
I have clockwork mod installed, from rom manager
I made sure I wipe data and cache and also davlik cache
any suggestions?
and i thank everyone in advance
I think you will hopefully get more joy posting in the Q&A section.
I have read that it can be fixed by fastbooting stock and then re-rooting though. If you can make backups first, you should, because this will wipe everything.

what ive been doing is not making any backups (nothing important to save) and just using nexus toolkit to flash back stock and starting over and trying new way every time
still nothing though after about the 20th time
No idea then sorry. Stick with rooted stock?

download TWRP for the Nexus 7 (grouper) Here : http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/103
Since your rooted you can use a simple app to flash the Image. Download and install the free app here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1790150&highlight=flash+gui
Open the free app and select the option for Recovery Image. Hit Browse and find the recovery image you downloaded and select it.Once finished hit flash image. It will ask you to confirm this image is a recovery image. Hit yes and it'll flash.
Then reboot to recovery, you can do this by using Terminal Emulator from the market issue this command
Code:
su *hit enter*
adb reboot recovery
If that doesnt work.. remove "adb" I forget if you need it or not :S
This should put you into TWRP Recovery.. go ahead and flash your ROM. Make sure you follow the proper procedure. I recommend this
1.Wipe data/Factory Reset
2. Wipe Cache Partition
3.Wipe Dalvik Cache
4. Format /System
then proceed to flash the ROM and Gapps. and Reboot.

If you're going that route.. you might as well just use fastboot to reflash recovery instead of the app.
Download the same image i linked to earily. While in the bootloader issue this command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img
Make sure you have the Command Prompt in the same directory as the recovery image.
So say its in your downloads folder on your computer open CMD and cd to that directory.
Code:
cd C:\Users\Name\Downloads
Or just open yoru downloads folder and Shift + Right click and select "open command window here" then issue the fastboot command.

Ill write you up a quick tutorial.
First download this zip it contains adb and its .dll's needed to be executed and fastboot.exe for flashing
http://db.tt/EOwGUAPV
Unzip it and put that TWRP image in the same folder.
Then in that folder Shift + Right click and select open command prompt here.
Then type
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
This will boot you into the bootloader. Once in the bootloader do this command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img
Hopefully your smart enough to realize that means type in the name of the recovery not exactly what that says.. for instance openrecovery-twrp... etc etc.
Then once its finished writing the recovery hit the volume up until the "Start" Says Recovery Mode. Then hit the power button. You should now be booting in the TWRP. Then flash your ROM.

Any way to install xposed via Flash fire? If so, link? ?
Yeah. Get the latest zip from arter97's post as well as XposedInstaller.apk (the lollipop version!).
It's something like xposed-v5-krait-blahlblahblah.zip
Reboot into flashfire and flash it, but don't reboot yet! Using either the file manager + "run command" facility in flashfire or a shell via adb, do this:
create a directory /system/app/XposedInstaller with the mode 0755. Then use SafeStrap's file manager to copy XposedInstaller.apk into that directory and set the mode to 0644.
You're done. Reboot and you'll be fine. I'm going to create a zip that does this at some point. I don't know why no one else has.
Just did this myself, so far so good. Heres the exact steps.
Install XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4 (latest: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811)
Using Flashfire v21
Clear Cache
Backup Boot, Recovery, System, Data

Hi All,
Im pretty close now to throwing Nexus 6p into the wall. Im honestly desperate now.. Few weeks ago replaced battery and usb dock.. and now Im infected by malware which I cannot even remove. Trying different methods for a week now.
Ads pop up (saying Im won something most of the times) in chrome after factory reset without any apps installed, before I even log in to google or anywhere. Same happens on different wifi networks and 3g.
What I tried up to now:
1. Factory reseting through android,
2. Factory reseting and clearing system cache through bootloader
3. Flashing new image from https://developers.google.com/android/images. Im not very familiar with this so had few issues: during procedure "flash-all.sh" - it did not work - nothing happend after trying to run it. So I did (or at least tried) to use this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t3252931 - Method no. 2. Managed to do almost everything apart these lines "fastboot flash userdata C:/images/userdata.img" and "fastboot flash cache C:/images/cache.img" because they are simply not in the zip file of image I got from google.
After all this, phone restarted fine, but still came up with ads as soon as I open any few pages in chrome.
Could you please help me this this to guide through what to do? I spent ages on google trying to find exact solution but some are old, some I dont get, some without clear instructions what to do...
Appreciate your time guys,
On one post I found that sequence what needs to be installed should be:
"fastboot flash bootloader C:\angler\images\bootloader-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio C:\angler\images\radio-angler-angler-xx.xx.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot C:\angler\images\boot.img
fastboot erase cache
(above command is unnecessary on Android 7.1.2 and above)
fastboot flash cache C:\angler\images\cache.img
(above command is unnecessary on Android 7.1.2 and above)
fastboot flash recovery C:\angler\images\recovery.img
fastboot flash system C:\angler\images\system.img
fastboot flash vendor C:\angler\images\vendor.img
On 7.1.2 and above you'll also need to boot into TWRP recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache. "
What does last line mean? What is TWRP recovery, dalvik cache?

What you need to do is backup all your downloads , music, pictures and anything you've saved in the internal memory. Then go to wipe in twrp and select everything inc internal. That is where it's probably hiding and factory reset won't erase your storage only with internal wipe. But remember you will loose everything so do a manual backup onto desktop or thumb drive. Then you can go flash whatever you please. I'm on the latest 8.1 April and it's working flawlessly. You don't have to wipe davlick and cache after factory flash just good practice to avoid any hiccups like hanging on first boot.

Is there a easier way to do this? As I understand I would need to have my phone rooted, to do this I need to to have twrp, to have it I need to install custum recovery through bootloader....
Is there a easier way to just to wipe all the internal data?
Can someone please just give quick sequence what after what needs to be done? Taking into account I got stock non rooted android 8.1. (I dont give a .. about photos and videos, whats the simplest way to make phone functioning as it supposed to again)
Thanks

I suppose you can use fastboot command "fastboot format userdata". I'm not sure if it would effect your current install but shouldn't.

My opinion/idea/fix:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Backup your recovery stock thing (Using Nexus Toolkit, google it)
2. Flash Custom Recovery (TWRP recovery zip, using adb)
3. Boot to Recovery (TWRP)
4. Wipe everything EXCEPT bootloader and recovery
5. Flash the 2nd step backed up recovery.img using TWRP recovery, to recovery partition.
.....
Procced with the stock steps you followed earlier and failed.
Not sure if I am clear.
Also not sure if you know how to do the steps.
I can help you try the solution I described tho, let me know!

Hi, Thank you for responding!
Before you posted your message thats what I did:
1. Replaced/reflashed recovery.img with twrp
2. Inside TWRP (opened trough bootloader holding power + down...) in advanced wipe options, wiped everything possible
3. Rebooted into bootloader and using ./fastboot commands flashed bootloader, radio, boot, recovery, system, vendor with stock image
4. Replaced/reflashed recovery.img with twrp again
5. Wiped cache and dalvik cache
Still the same problem..
What I can understand I pretty much did what you suggested, correct? I dont have access to Windows pc untill Monday so cannot use Nexus Toolkit. But thanks for recomending it! I'll look into it

Not in the mood, I have soo long time to flash OTA full or updates .zip(s) anyway, really.
I can give you a solution tho, preety good to go with.
1. Choose between those 2 -stock enough- custom roms:
(MY PERSONAL PREFERENCE)
--- Pure Nexus 7.1.1 (Older Android - Faster - Solid AF)
--- SuperXE 8.1.0 (Latest Android - Slower and maaaybe a little worst battery life - Still Solid, I am using it atm as main ROM)
----
Let me know If I should keep writing, so we can try from zero the attempt I previously mentioned (wiping and reflashing).
In my opinion if you follow the steps I am about to write you SHOULD not believe in your eyes if you still see the virus, or consider that the malware is actually something else, somewhere else and not in your smartphone's ROM or Storage.
(If you wanna go for it, start downloading the ROM files you choosen, it will save you/us time, find them here on XDA Nexus 6P section)
(I will edit this post)
----
2. Follow the steps @Cile381 gives on SuperXE thread, if you have any questions I will respond/help instantly, just use @Pipiou211 so I will receive the notification.
BE VERY VERY VERY CAREFUL with your bootloader, radio and recovery sections, if you leave one of them empty, flash wrong .zip/.img or unplug your smartphone while flashing you will HARDBRICK your device.
Especialy Bootloader.
Update them to be ready for Oreo Android and move to next steps (vendor and rom).

Yes, If you just have time I would be very interested to go through your method! I'm downloading SuperXE 8.1.0 as we speak, but speed is not very consistant from the server (says it could take between 20min and 4 hours to download..) But please guide me through the process if you can. Thank you!

Quick few question I got:
According to SuperXE instructions I need to:
- Reboot to recovery (Question 1: by recovery it means twrp? do I need to root my phone to do this or just simply replace recovery with twrp using "fastboot flash..." commend like I did before?
- Take necessary backups
- Wipe system/data/cache
- Flash the appropriate vendor.img
- Flash Rom.zip
- Reboot to system
Question 2: Would these be correct - more detailed instructions how to install "Zip" not "IMG" ?
7. How To Install A ROM with TWRP Recovery
Prerequisites: unlocked bootloader (section 1), TWRP recovery (section 2).
Installing a ROM is a pretty straight forward and easy process. Before you install anything you should make a nandroid backup (instructions above).
Download a ROM and appropriate Gapps package and place on your device. You'll also need to find out what build your ROM is based on and download the vendor image for that build, you'll find the latest in my index here.
Boot into your custom recovery.
Perform a full wipe.
Select the wipe option from the TWRP home screen.
Select advanced wipe.
Check the system, data, cache, and dalvik cache options.
Swipe to wipe.
Install the ROM.
Select the install option from the TWRP home screen.
Navigate to where you have the ROM zip stored on your internal storage and select it. You can hit the "add more zips" button now to queue up your gapps package to be flashed after the ROM zip.
Swipe to install.
Most ROMs will run an installer script at this point but some ROMs have what is called an Aroma Installer which allow you to choose some install options before the script runs.
Hit the home button once everything has finished installing.
Install the appropriate vendor image.
Select the install option from the TWRP home screen.
Click the "install image" button in the bottom-right corner.
Navigate to where you have the vendor image stored on your internal storage and select it.
You'll now be asked which partition to flash the image to, select vendor.
Swipe to install.
Once you've installed all necessary zips/images you'll have an option to wipe cache/dalvik and an option to reboot system, hit the reboot system button and you'll boot into your new ROM.
If Yes, Question 3: What is Gapps? Do I need it?
Found answer myself for this: Realised that it was shortening for Google apps. As I understand I need ARM64-8.1 android-stock. Correct?
Thanks

1. (YES to Question 1)
Flash TWRP (latest) to recovery partition.
2. PowerButton+VolumeUp and access TWRP.
3. Flash bootloader (the one cile381 "tell you" to)
4. Flash vendor (the one cile381 tells)
5. Wipe>Advanced check everything except Bootloader, Vendor and Recovery (already installed TWRP in our case)
6. Flash SuperXE ROM (chill and have fun with the Aroma Installer guidance, if unsure leave everything unticked and just NEXT, NEXT, NEXT, NEXT!!)
7. Reboot and check for the malware, after first-time-setup (wifi google account and so on).
DO NOT restore application data from previous "phone".
(8. If we get softbrick) Flash latest radio.img, will tell you the way if we get softbricked, we probably dont need that.
---
(Response to Question 2.)
Step 3. and 4. are .img flashing.
Step 6. is .zip file flashing.
To flash .zip file just tap Flash in the TWRP and tap the 1.28GB .zip file.
To flash .img file(s) tap Flash, then a button like 'Image' or something, you will see it there are just two buttons, including 'Back', then tap the .img file and tap the partition you wanna flash/install it.
Am I clear? My english is not the best sorry about that.

3. Flash bootloader (the one cile381 "tell you" to)
In their page cile381 provides only ROM and Vendor. Where do I get bootloader from?
Hello,
I have some difficulty understanding the tutorials on how to simply install a custom Android Oreo ROM along with GApps. I noticed there are some differences between them which confuses me.
I have a non-rooted Samsung S4 i9505 with the stock Samsung Touchwiz. I don't have any SD card and I want to install the custom ROM without a PC.. Here are my questions:
1. Tutorials say that I have to root my device before installing a custom ROM while people in threads say that it is not needed. Do I have to root the device or not?
2. Is the next step to unlock bootloader?
3. Do I then have to install TWRP? Or is it not necessary and do I simply have to put the ROM's and GApp's .zip files in the internal memory of my phone and boot into recovery mode?

1- Does your phone have a locked or unlocked bootloader?
2- You don't need root to install a custom rom.
3- You need to install a custom recovery like "TWRP" or "PhilzTouch".
4- External storage like SD Card or OTG USB is recommended but not must.
None of the Samsung s4 phones have a locked bootloader except the s4 sold by USA carriers.
I do not recommend using Philz to flash a custom ROM as Philz is based on CWM and CWM has not been updated for years.
Does the USB port work on the phone? Is it recognized by a PC when connected?

It is recognised by the PC yes. I have to make sure the bootloader is unlocked but I don't know how.
If you have a GT-i9505, the bootloader is not locked. Using software to unlock the bootloader will probably hard brick the phone. Google XDA and you will find further answers to your question.
Regardless of whether the bootloader is or is not locked, there is always a risk that flashing software to the phone can cause it to brick.

1- What's your phone model?
2- Can you insert any sim card without any problem? If yes it means it's unlocked.
3- Download TWRP for your device model.
4- Download Odin.
5- Go to download mode on your phone.
6- Connect phone to pc .
7- Open Odin and select PDA.
8- Locate and select the "TWRP" file.
9- Select Start.
10- Wait phone to reboot.
It's good that you are able to use CWM/Philz. I used it on my s2 and s3 for a while. When I moved to the s4, I switched to TWRP since many ROM developers recommend using TWRP to flash. I then moved to the s6 for a little and then the s7.

Thanks a lot for the tutorial. After that, should I put the Custom ROM and the Gapps in the internal memory (any folder?) and then put the phone into recovery mode? Or does the TWRP already bring you to the installation after the reboot (your step 10)?

Yes, put them in any folder you prefer. The phone will only reboot to the os, even if it reboots to the recovery i recommend going into recovery manually. After that clear data/data & cache & system, then install the zips and reboot.

So these are basically all the mentioned steps?
1. Make sure the phone is recognised by the PC via USB
2. Download TWRP for your device model.
3. Download Odin.
4. Go to download mode on your phone.
5. Connect phone to pc .
6. Open Odin and select PDA.
7. Locate and select the "TWRP" file.
8. Select Start.
9. Wait phone to reboot.
10. Put the Custom ROM and GApps in any folder of the internal
memory that you prefer
11. Manually reboot into recovery mode (hold ON/OFF, Home and Volume Down button all at once)
12. Clear data/data & cache system
13. Install the Custom ROM and then GApps.
Are these steps alltogether correct?
(Another question, is it not possible to flash with a Custom ROM and Gapps without using a PC at all?)

Download Mode: Hold power button + Home + Volume down

Yes you can download and install them directly into phone, The only thing that needs a pc is installing the recovery.
