I have seen on Engadget that some one have rooted this Nexus One.
It will be nice if they can post how.
Mod Edit:
For rooting instructions
Follow this thread:
Root the Nexus one Tutorial
to unlock the bootloader just hold the power button with holding the trackball down which will take you to the bootloader, then using fastboot type fastboot oem unlock and follow the instructions and valia
- Download and extract fastboot from here (Windows, Linux and Mac included)
- Run a command prompt / terminal at the directory you just extracted
- Type 'fastboot-windows oem unlock' or './fastboot-mac oem unlock' or './fastboot-linux oem unlock' (as appropriate)
- Proceed on your merry bootloader unlocked way
Then once you do that you need to install a boot image that will root it and install the root permisson manager automatically the instructions follow.
Download the root boot image from here
then copy that image to the same directory as you used last time to unlock your bootloader
open a command window there by holding down your shift key and right clicking anywhere in the window. and selecting open command prompt here
then type fastboot-windows.exe flash boot nexusone.superboot.1.1.img
then enjoy your rooted phone.
Alternate you can just use the install superboot.bat file included but if your windows 7 it didnt work for me on x64

no thats not a sim unlock the nexus is already unlocked that unlocks the bootloader which lets you install custom roms and images which is what my instructions i just posted explain which actually roots it with busybox installed aswell.
Sorry for that you can download the second link where i talk about the rooting boot image it also has the fastboot files in it that you need.

Cool! So Google is now on our side and not trying to stop the rooting etc?
Wish Google would hurry up and ship my phone now!
I have been waiting as well for my phone to be sent out Why does no one just post one guide with all the info from those two threads here and give thanks to madaco and the guys over there. And if someone can create and link to recovery the works a complete guide then maybe they will make it a sticky.
new complete tut is posted.

Oppsss lol
Playing with my N1
hi,
i tried to root my nexus but it wont work...
first i downloaded the fastboot to unlock the bootloader like here
http://android.modaco.com/content/g...w-to-unlock-the-bootloader-on-your-nexus-one/
but after extracting the fastboot.zip it says "adbwinapi.dll" is not there...
whats wrong?
Wait, what exactly are you trying to do?
download the superboot image it contains the fastboot and adb files you'll need.
Did you read the rooting tutorial over on the N1 development forum?
It steps you through the superboot image that th3fallen mentioned.
This is what I have done this afternoon.
Use at your own risk, I'm not responsible for any data losing.
Environment: Oneplus One with stock CM11s XNPH30O
Steps:
1. Apply cm-11.0-XNPH25R-bacon-signed.zip from stock recovery.
2. DO NOT BOOT TO OS when update is finished. After updated, press power button until screen off.
3. Boot to fastboot mode by holding 'Power' button & 'Vol UP(+)'.
4. In fastboot mode, boot to custom recovery by
Code:
fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-bacon.img
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/bacon
5. Make a nandroid backup for data partition. (Optional)
6. Sideload OnePlusOne-BootUnlocker.zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54251992&postcount=1
7. Reboot to bootloader(fastboot mode)
8. Extract cm-11.0-XNPH30O-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip and execute 'flash-radio.sh' to update radio and other binaries.
9. Flash 30O system partition only by
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
(Don't flash userdata.img or userdata_64G.img or you'll lose all your data.)
10. Reboot. The Bootloader is unlocked.
Sorry for my bad english.
Sick man, gonna try this when i get home

Cool write-up! I re-wrote the guide for use over on the OnePlus forums: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...ck-the-bootloader-without-losing-data.103642/

How would this be done by steps? I'm somewhat familiar with adb {I have the SDK installed and use it for fastboot) but coming from rooting and modding mostly Samsung devices I don't have experience with this method. Could you elaborate in another thread plz? Just the back up and restore part. I can manage the unlock and root.

i used the steps posted here. although they needed adapting for the one.
the bones of it is there though, so if you understand it, its easy to do.
Kind of went a different route but used this as a base and got it done. It was tricky but I'm unlocked, rooted, stock recovery and got most of my data back! Thanks for heads up philicibine and OP.
someone running on 33R succeeded with this MOD ???

Yes. I was on 33R. Went to stock recovery and flashed 25R. Booted to fastboot and remotely ran twrp recovery and did a backup (in case) then flashed Bootloader unlock zip. While still in recovery, flashed 33R zip and SuperSU. I didn't extract any fastboot files, just used the flashable stock signed zip. All said and done, I had unlocked bootloader and root and back on 33R.
Now I was able to use Flashify app if I wanted a permanent custom recovery.

Hello ,
I am on 33 R and downloading the flash-able zip from the thread you gave. The rest of items i have already downloaded (Please see attachment). Request you to please confirm that once my 33R download is complete am i ready to proceed??? (I also have the Complete SDK Package with me)
Also can you please list me the procedure step by step. This is my very first time doing it this way as i am used to rooting my S2 and that is a totally different method using ODIN.
Hope to receive your positive reply.
Ok. Done. It worked flawlessly on 33R. Followed all the steps as mentioned by @ralphwiggum1 (Thanks a lot mate . Also Thanks to @ifg for making the basic post to be followed. See attached Rootchecker image for proof.
Please note that this procedure worked for me on a totally unrooted & never before tried rooting device with 33R. Also my device info showed Tampered bit as True & unlock bit as False. You can check it by following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/mod-reset-unlock-tamper-bit-t2820912. Thanks to @Mnt-XDA.

Good job!
"As every guide is written with a Foreword so is this. Please try at your own risk. I am not responsible."
Next this is neither my guide nor my work. I went through all the threads as mentioned in the various links given below. All I did was follow procedure from whichever thread / post was related with my condition. Once I even got confused with too much information but then again as they if we don’t try we never know whether we would have failed or succeeded.
So I was able to do this only due the works of other people. All the credit & Thanks goes to them. I have tried and remembered and mentioned all the names. In case I have missed anyone please forgive me and point me the name and I will thank them too.
My Step by step procedure to root the device without wipe for devices who have never tried rooting their Oneplus One and are currently on 33R using the method mentioned in this thread,
Download the Recovery flashable zips of the complete ROMz - XNPH25R, XNPH33R
Follow the ADB & Fastboot Installation Procedure listed HERE(Also if you can then do read the complete post as it is very informative for Noobs like me )
Download the Oneplusone-bootunlocker.zip from HERE (Again if possible please read this complete thread too as it is also very informative)
Download the Supersu file from HERE
Download the custom recovery file from HERE
Copy both the Flashable zips, Bootunlocker, supersu files to your device
Switch off your device. And Then boot into STOCK RECOVERY by pressing the VOL DOWN & POWER key
Apply update – XNPH25R and then keep the power key pressed until the screen turns off. DO NOT REBOOT
Now boot to fastboot mode by holding the POWER button & VOL UP Key. Connect it to the PC and let it install all the drivers
Go to the SDK Installation in your PC, and within that go to the folder PLATFORM-TOOLS. Copy the “openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-bacon.img” or latest file which you must have downloaded from the TWRP site
Within the directory Press the Shift Key and right click and you will get an option “Open command Prompt here” – Do it. Type in the command
Code:
Fastboot boot openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-bacon.img
. Wait for 30 Seconds your device will enter into TWRP Custom recovery
Make a Nandroid backup (Optional)
Go to the install option within the recovery and select the Bootunlocker.zip. make sure the signature verification check box in unchecked. Apply the zip.
Now once again go into install option and select the XNPH33R zip and apply
I rebooted the device after Step 14 as I forgot to apply the supersu
Once again followed the same procedure to enter fastboot mode (Step 9) and loaded the custom recovery as mentioned in Step 11 and then applied the supersu zip as mentioned in Step 13. Again rebooted and device was successfully rooted with SuperSU
Next I wanted to flash Franco’s latest Kernel (franco.Kernel-nightly-r20.zip). Downloaded from HERE
Again put device in Fastboot mode (Step 9) and loaded Custom recovery (Step 11) and installed zip file using same procedure as Step 13
Wiped Cache & Dalvik Cache & Rebooted the device. No Issues. Franco Kernel was installed
Credits - I would like to thank everyone for helping me out. Full Thanks & Credits to @ifg (Guide for XNPH300), @Mnt-XDA (Bootunlocker.zip & a great thread about Reset Unlocker & Tamper Bit), @MICa.fighter (CM11S official & untouched image collection), @franciscofranco (Kernel for Oneplus One), Chromium (From Oneplus One Forum for a great guide on Everything Rooting for Oneplus One), @Chainfire (SuperSU), @ralphwiggum1 (for already trying it and clearing my doubts and giving me confidence to proceed)
Worked like a charm. Thanks!
Yeah, I really wish I found this post before I wiped my OPO, and lost another day reinstalling and configuring apps.

Excellent...well done and will help many!
I had the misfortune to accept the OTA update to Lollipop on my Nexus 7. I immediately ran into problems with battery, watching video, etc.
I have been trying all morning to revert to KitKat 4.4 and have been trying to follow the directions.
I have unlocked bootloader, downloaded the .tar, and am at the step in fastboot where it says to use the flash-all command to load the factory image of kitkat.
It just isnt working and I fear I have bricked my device. It says I am in Fastboot Mode. I go to the command window and the directory where I have ADB Tools. I also have the lentghy named .tar file there. But all the guides say to use the flash-all command and it just isnt working.
Can someone please help walk me through this last step?

There's a pretty comprehensive walkthrough guide here, just skip to the part you need, which seems to me you're not extracting the factory image compressed files. BTW flash-all used as is will wipe your data, but there's workaround for that. Better yet you only need to flash system.img, boot.img, and recovery.img files, which are in the compressed file within the original compressed file. anyway look thru the guide:

Hello,
I need some guidance from the community after I have spent countless hours reading and attempting to do stuff to my phone.
My main use for rooting or non-rooting is to spoof for Pokemon Go. Many years ago, I rooted my Samsung S3 with Kingo Root (with 1 click) and that worked easily. I have read many different stuff about Magisk, TWRP, etc. I have tried many steps for my previous phone (Xiami Mi Mix 2) and now my new phone (Razor Phone 2).
I am currently attempting this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/razer-phone-2/how-to/root-t3875237
Step 1. Finished -Download Magisk zip to phone.
Step 2. Finished -Download arter97 kernal r9. img to PC
Step 3. Stuck when following the guide to set up proper driver and fastboot.
Question for Step 3:
"Make sure your phone is recognized by Windows before proceeding. Follow this guide to setup the proper drivers and fastboot."
Instruction said to store unzipped folders into %PATH. I assume that meant putting the 2 unzipped files (latest_usb_driver_windows) and (platform-tools_r29.0.01-windows) into a %PATH folder on the Desktop.
Moving along to the updating driver software --> HAVE DISK point to %PATH.
Get Error: The folder you specified doesn't contain driver software for your device. Select a folder that contains your driver software and try again.
I have also read and attempted to use this tool (Minimal ADB and Fastboot): https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
But that didn't work so far because it doesn't identify any device after attempting to flash the arter97 r9 img.
My Razor Phone 2 has the bootloader unlocked.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
Edit. Not sure what I did but entering fastboot devices worked. But don't know what is next step.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Don't know what to do now.
