First off i apologise for any newbie questions. I have just acquired an xperia play (first smartphone ) and i have been trying to use sdk to setInstallLocation 2. I have installed sdk the .zip version (unziped to desktop) and installed the sdk platform tools revision 3 plus enabled the google usb driver package. I conect my phone to the pc (in debugging mode) and mount my sd card (so pc companion sees my phone) (also tried unmounted)
My problem is when i try to adb devices in cmd (as admin) the following error appers
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *
error: cannot connect to daemon
so i have followed a few tips i have seen when googling the error. So i start the task manager and end the adb.exe process and then when i try again with adb devices now it says
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
** daemon still not runningerror: cannot connect to daemon
but when i installed sdk platform tools revision 3 i noticed when it asked to restart adb that deamon tools was loaded in sdk successfully. Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated?

Could you post a screenshot of cmd?
Yeah i tried removing http:// and put spaces every where but it stil realised it was an outside link lol. Anyways i can post it now. So here it is.
After the first fail. I did as i said before ended the task in the task manager and then tried again but got the second error. Even if i run cmd not as admin its still the same
You could post only part of the URL, if you leave out the beginning with "http://www." you should be able to post it. And your next post will be number 8 so you can always edit the post afterwards.
Just a heads up (I nearly missed it),
After rooting my Galaxy S2 with Doomlord's Rooting Toolkit I pulled out my N1 to see if it would work and it did! Within 30secs I was fully rooted.
My N1 was running 2.3.6 stock till now and I didn't want to wipe to be able to root and this is the way.
I know I had been waiting a long time for this so maybe it'll be useful to others.
Doomlord's Rooting Toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319653
Zergrush Exploit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1296916
Update: Note that several manufacturers have patched their firmware to make this exploit fail. I don't know if this still works for the N1 though I believe it should considering I haven't seen an update come out for it (could've missed it) So if it fails for you and you got a very recent firmware could be google fixed it.
Could you give a little more detailed instruction how to do it?
Instructions are in the first link.
The gist of it is
1. You need to have your phone's drivers installed for adb to work
2. set to usb debugging
3. connect usb cable
4. run the bat file
5. press space to start the process
6 30secs later (for me) it rebooted and I was rooted.
So to confirm, this I's a working Gingerbread 2.3.4 / 2.3.6 Root exploit without unlocking the bootloader?
Oh man, my Nexus is just begging to be reunited with CyanogenMod!

Oh okay, I thought you have to do something special as you provided two links.
I just did those steps and it worked flawless.
Thanks!
@CPM
Yes it roots your phone without unlocking the Bootloader even on 2.3.6 (as is my case)
@DarsVaeda
Sorry for the confusion I was just trying to provide references and credits where due.
Works great! Thanks.
last exploit here: http://cloud.github.com/downloads/revolutionary/zergRush/zergRush.zip
Step by step:
empty /data/local/tmp/
C:\adb pust zergRush /data/loca/tmp
adb chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/zergRush
wait...
C:\adb remount
adb push su /system/bin
adb push su /system/xbin
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app
adb chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
adb chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
reboot phone
You can su
Try: Install connectbot (or any Terminal) from Google Market connect local, type su, allow. Done.
Now remote bloatware: facebook, Amazone, twitter )
Cheers Airbag888 for bringing this exploit to our attention (and of course everyone else involved in finding the exploit and scripting it)
Works like a charm. I couldn't revert back to the older 2.3.3 Gingerbread after HTC fixed my power button. Suffered the "Main version is older" error downgrading and nothing else worked.
My Nexus is now safely reunited with CyanogenMod and I'm mighty happy

I'm new to this so I have a question!
If I root my phone using this method will i then be able to use rom manager to install cyanogen rom or do I have to do anything extra?

If you root via any method (this one included)
you can install a custom recovery of any kind (including clockwork which comes with Rom Manager)
you can install compatible Roms via Rom manager as well.
It should not void your warranty either since you're not unlocking your bootloader.
However make sure to do a backup before you install a new ROM and also to wipe your data/cache via recovery when you install another ROM
Thanks!
Hi !
Assuming that an unlocked bootloader wouldn't be a problem, I just tried your method, alas to no avail. Here is the output I got :

ALL DONE!!!
Pressione qualquer tecla para continuar. . .
I just loved the "ALL DONE!!!" message in spite of every single step having failed
My config looks like this...
Nexus One
Bought directy from Google
running 2.3.6, build GRK39F
bootloader unlocked for the first time through the SDK afew moment before trying to root
MacBook pro running Windows XP
Also tried Bexton's scripts, unsuccessfully.
Out of the blue, I would blame faulty ADB drivers, but since they worked for unlocking my bootloader, I guess they're ok. I'm a bit at loss there, what do you think I did wrong?
Edit: I'm now the first result for "nexus one"+"cannot connect to daemon" on google.fr. Yay me!
I'm not an expert, merely a messenger. But it appears adb isn't starting for you somehow.
I'd look into that.
Try launching it manually and trying to get a list of connected devices. (should give one named HTC#########)
Also if you have unlocked your bootloader then there are other methods to try.
Thanks Airbag888!
For future fellow rooters in need, here is what I did :
Tried to run a sample adb command from the command line, got the dreaded "ADB server didn't ACK"
Opened the Task Manager, noticed two instances of adb running, killed them both
Ran adb devices once again, and TADAA! it worked!
Mad with hope, launched DooMLoRD's script, and so far, it's running. Right now, I've reached the "executing zergRush" stage.
It's been running for a few minutes with no error message so far... Murphy's Law dictates that the process surely is frozen
Edit:
It has indeed frozen (or silently crashed) at "executing zergRush". Killed the adb process again, started the script again. But we're making progresses, I'm now stuck at
Code:
...
[+] Rush did it ! It's a GG, man !
[+] Killing ADB and restarting as root... enjoy!

If your bootloader is unlocked, why are you even bothering with this. Just start up your phone in fastboot mode, connect to your computer, and flash a custom recovery (i.e., fastboot flash recovery <NameOfYourRecoveryHere.img>, then boot into your custom, and flash ChainsDD's superuser zip. Done.
If your bootloader is unlocked, you never have to worry about root, because you can root at any time...

Because I feel like keeping the stock ROM until the first ICS-based custom ROMS are out. I just want root access to get the hang of tinkering with my N1 and trashing some bloatware apps.

What does that have to do with anything? Did you read the rest of my post? What I gave you was the way to root if your bootloader is unlocked. I never mentioned anything about switching ROMS...

Much simpler. No change to your stock ROM at all.
Finally a exploit that doesnt involve formatting my phone
Now, I am planning to run this exploit when I get home tonight
My phone at the moment is 2.3.4 and I would guess this exploit would work for it?
And I also guess you can't install clockworkmod without unlocking your bootloader?

I successfully rooted 2.3.4 using the exploit. Then installed RA Amon recovery rather than ClockworkMod (personal choice). Then onto CyanogenMod 7.1 and S2E for loading my apps onto SD Card. All worked perfectly fine too.

You don't need to unlock the bootloader to install recovery or any different rom or run nandroid backup etc
Just picked up a Fire today...
Can't seem to get ADB to recognize it on Mac 10.7.
Installed the SDK, running adb from directly inside platform-tools.
I have adb_usb.ini in ~/.android with the correct id line inside.
If I try to do ./adb devices while the Fire is connected, I get:
Code:
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *
error: cannot connect to daemon
That's after doing ./adb kill-server and ps ax | grep adb to make sure it's not still running.
Any ideas? It runs correctly (no SERVER DIDN'T ACK message) when I run ADB without the Fire connected, but it still doesn't come up in the device list.
Edit: I got hold of a windows computer and was able to use the Kindle Fire Utility without issue. Not sure what's going on with Lion.
i follow this guide on my non-rooted phone but not working>> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2604727/how-can-i-connect-to-android-with-adb-over-tcp
