I have solved the problem.

FYI, the zerg root method isn't working with blackrose.

I used SuperOneClick to unroot my phone, and SuperOneClick again to root the nexus USING the psneuter method.

Then, i've isntalled blackrose custom partition again.

Thanks for your help.
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
Glad u solved it. But is the method by which we root really a concern for blackrose installation :confused:
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
Did you boot your phone to the bootloader? If yes, making sure that it is in fasboot when trying to use fastboot command. Also, do you have AndroidSDK installed in your PC?

---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------

The purpose of unlock the bootloader is to gain root access and you said you had unlocked your phone using the fastboot to unlock it. So why do you still need to use SuperOneClick for rooting? Once you unlocked using fastboot, you just have to flash the recovery image and flash the custom ROM.
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
Nope. It makes no difference. There was probably an issue with his root previously.

How you root makes no difference. It is just as easy to use zergrush, or superoneclick, as it is to flash a custom recovery and then the superuser zip in recovery.

And personally, I wouldn't say that the purpose of unlocking the bootloader is to gain root access. You can do so much more than that... :)
[Nexus One Android Development] bmxwylie:
I tried with it booted into fastboot but the BlackRose.exe doesn't let me use the fastboot commands. I don't have the Android SDK installed
[Nexus One Android Development] dla5244:
First sry to my english.

1.ZergRush

ZergRush is executed when ro.secure value is 1(adb is not running as root) and android version 2.2 or 2.3

Installer have to use root permission in order to grep /proc/cmdline

2.About password lost

I have received many PM about lost password.

Unfortunately, Once you forget password, there is no way to recover it without JTAG.

I think creating master password when i design password protection.

But i didn't that because i don't know you are real owner.

I created secure device by making 2nd password.

I suggest you to use your email address as 2nd password(never forget).

Anyway, Probability is [2/4228250625]

Gold luck.

You should check usb driver installed and test adb
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
You need to have AndroidSDK installed so that you can use ADB and fastboot. Here is the link: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html. In addition, you will have to read how to use ADB commands.

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 PM ----------

You are correct. There are other purposes for unlocking the bootloader. I should say "one of the purposes" so that doesn't confuse the reader :)
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
Actually, (for windows users, and assuming you have the driver installed) to use fastboot, all you need is the fastboot.exe file. To use adb, all you need is the adb.exe file plus 2 others (adbwinapi.dll and adbwinusbapi.dll). It won't hurt to download the full sdk, but if all you are going to use is fastboot and ad, you only need those 4 files.
[Nexus One Android Development] net.cat:
Hi. I'm trying to update the 120215 with the 120216 but my PC doesn't recognize anymore N1 as "Nexus One" but after so many usb driver installations, even the ones in the first page of this thread, I only achive "Android bootloader interface" as device and the shell with blackrose waiting 4 my device doesn't find it neither in bootloader mode nor in fastboot mode :(

any help?
[Nexus One Android Development] lazinase:
I need help!!

No matter what I tried, all I got is this corruption/missing message...I can't repartition my Nexus One...Anyone can help me?

I'm using Win 7 Ult 64 bit
[Nexus One Android Development] yjagota:
That means you have not extracted other files/directories present in the BR zip you downloaded. Extract all files in a folder and run BR from the folder itself.
[Nexus One Android Development] lazinase:
I did extract everything into one folder...under the extracted BR folder, there are "binary" folder, "other" folder, BlackRose and BlackRose.exe.
[Nexus One Android Development] bmxwylie:
I have all of these files but when I try to run fastboot.exe it opens runs real quick and closes. Also, I should be on the fastboot bootloader right?
[Nexus One Android Development] lazinase:
When I paid more attention it said BlackRose component is missing/corrupt in the cmd window before it closed.

edit: I was too sleepy to quote the post. I didn't double click fastboot.exe. Instead, I double clicked BlackRose. exe and tried in cmd BlackRose.exe editor and both didn't work.

I have fastboot ready.
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
That post wasn't meant for you really. What are you trying to do? (You do know that to use fastboot, you cannot just double-click on it right?)

Since you are having problems with Blackrose, start from the beginning. Are you sure your BOTH your fastboot and adb drivers are installed properly?

Do this as a test:

1) Reboot your device normally and plug it into your PC;

2) Open a command prompt in the directory where you have you adb.exe file;

3) Type the following into that command prompt to verify that adb sees your device properly: adb devices

4) Did you see your device connected? If so, continue, otherwise, fix your driver problem;

5) Reboot your device into fastboot mode and plug it into your PC;

6) Open a command prompt in the directory where you have you fastboot.exe file;

7) Type the following into that command prompt to verify that fastboot sees your device properly: fastboot devices

8) Did you see your device connected? If so, your drivers are ok, otherwise, fix your driver problem.

Now, we've verified that your drivers are ok. RE-DOWNLOAD the zip from the first post, and extract all the files/folders onto your PC. Reboot your device normally and plug into your PC, and proceed from there.
[Nexus One Android Development] lazinase:
Hi, I have BlackRose installed by using the Mac method as the BlackRose.exe doesn't run on my Win 7. (See a few post above). So now I don't have a way to repartition my phone. Is that possible that you may generously give me a hand, please?
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
I'm not sure I can help you. I haven't used Blackrose since November when I got rid of my Nexus One. Back then, I would just use IntersectRaven's tool to change partition sizes and then flash it using fastboot. I haven't been keeping up with all the cool features that dla5244 has been incorporating into the new versions, but if you don't need them, and are having issues, why not just use an older version and use IntersectRaven's SPLHexEditor?

---------- Post added at 03:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

Are you sure you don't have a driver issue. Follow the steps in my post that you quoted. If you have a driver issue, fix it then try Blackrose again. Once you have the drivers properly set up, and if you are still having problems, I'll see if I can help, but, like I said, I no longer have an N1.
[Nexus One Android Development] lazinase:
I tried, but...

http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=r1iuk9&s=5

adb is here, Fastboot is here, all files extracted...but still didn't work...
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
Did you RE-DOWNLOAD the files and try with the new downloaded Blackrose?

If that didn't work, let's try something else.

Before I go on, I can't guarantee that your data and ROM will not be wiped, so backup everything you want to keep.

First of all, what hboot is on your device now?
[Nexus One Android Development] lazinase:
First of all, thanks for your replies efrant.

Actually it is strange that if I downloaded the BlackRose files on page 1 through my laptop, everytime it tells me the zip can't be opened (the downloaded zip size is 883kb instead of the supposed 885-886 kb). So last night I used the QR code method to download the zip to my phone then transferred the zip to my laptop and extracted all the stuff. It did unzip so I thought the zip was a good one.

My hboot ver is 7.35.5017 (BlackRose) with 145 96 195 partitioned. I have it installed BR by using fastboot but not the BlackRose.exe, since it doesn't work for me.
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
Can you not use the attached SPLHexEditor to modify the partition sizes in the HBOOT file that you flashed using fastboot, and then re-flash using fastboot? If not, I would suggest flashing an older version of the hboot and use the editor on that.

I've attached both the editor and an older version of the HBOOT.
[Nexus One Android Development] lazinase:
It is weird that the editor only works on the HBOOT included in your zip but not the HBOOT from page 1.

I will take your advice tonight to get an older version of HBOOT that will work. Still, the best will be that someone can come and figure out why BlackRose.exe doesn't work for me...

Anyway, thanks a lot for your BR HBOOT efrant!

Blackrose damaged my Amon-Ra recovery,

flashing again recovery solved everything.
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
Does installing blackrose damage the recovery :confused:

Do we need to fastboot the recovery after blackrose???
[Nexus One Android Development] oligambit:
No, i use Blackrose since several months and it never done anything to my recovery.

In my case, i unlocked the bootloader weeks before installing Blackrose HBoot!
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
Not sure about the latest version, but I know earlier versions used the recovery partition to boot the exploit, if your bootloader was locked, and then re-flashed Amon_RA once it was finished.
[Nexus One Android Development] ultraviolet74:
Yes my bootloader was locked!

Reflashing the recovery after installing Blackrose I personally think is not a problem because devices work perfectly without recovery, but not without bootloader... :D

reflashing recovery is easy and fast!
[Nexus One Android Development] Greggy161:
nevermind +) Figured all out
[Nexus One Android Development] net.cat:

I'm about to go on a business trip & my Nexus One is down - SERIOUS PROBLEM!

I wanted to revert to a GB rom after a frustrating time with various ICS roms so I went back to MeDroid 7.2 GB. This worked OK but for a2sd to work better I needed to revert to stock partitioning. I downloaded the latest blackrose to go back to stock.

I ran the program & it seems to have installed the new version okay and when I boot to the bootloader it says BlackRose... - Stock 145/95/186.

I can't boot to a recovery to install a new rom. I've used fastboot to install both 4EXT & Amon but they both can't boot after installation. 4EXT gives me a message about having to format the internal partitions & then stops at a screen with no options. AMON just stops with text stating the recovery build no.

Do I have to do as 4EXT says - format the internal partitions? If so how - I only have access to the bootloader & fastboot.

Please - anyone - urgently need my phone on the trip!
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
If you want to go back to GB, you need to repartition to stock layout (145/95/196) either flash a hboot stock or resize it manually. Read the instructions on OP
[Nexus One Android Development] jaided79:
I have S-Off my Nexus. Downloaded everything. Yet when I click on fastboot.exe it opens and quickly closes. How can I flash a recovery image if it never opens?
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
You cannot just "click" on fastboot.exe. I think you should read a bit on using fastboot before trying to use it. You need to open a command prompt and execute fastboot from there (with the appropriate arguments/parameters of course).

EDIT: And by the way, S-OFF does not mean that you can use fastboot commands. Your bootloader has to be unlocked, or you need to have Blackrose installed.
[Nexus One Android Development] exb0:
You need to use cmd to navigate to that folder and then use fastboot commands. You can not just double click on it.

Desktop dock not charging

Since flashing backrose i've notice that my desktop dock (official with the docking pins) no longer charges my n1 when it is turned off. I'm assuming this is somehow caused by the blackrose hboot? Any ideas as how to fix this?
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
I never had any problems with charging while off in the desktop dock after installing Blackrose.
[Nexus One Android Development] wollac11:
Must just be a coincidence it stopped at the same time as I flashed blackrose then :/ just noticed it has now stopped charging while the phone is on as well. Dunno whether it's a device issue or an problem with the dock or what has caused it. It definitely worked yesterday.

Don't suppose anyone has any ideas as to what might have gone wrong and/or how to go about testing or fixing it?

Edit: Sorry this is kinda hijacking a thread because it's now off topic as it would appear it is not blackrose related. I shall not post here any further the on subject of my dock issues. If anyone can be of help please PM me rather than posting here. Thanks :)
[Nexus One Android Development] bmxwylie:
I seem to still be having trouble with blackrose. Can anyone posted a detailed step by step guide on how to do it? Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] bluedragon1982:
This thread is allready to large to read complete :/

When i flash blackrose, can i still use ra_recovery?

And is it full revert able with stock spl? If yes, how-to?

Will i loose my favorite stock bootlogo "the nexus X with an open lock?
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
Here are the steps:

1) Read instructions on the first OP's page

2) Watch video clips posted on Youtube on OP's first page

3) Follow the instructions and flash your phone
[Nexus One Android Development] :
yes--br has nothing to do with recovery that would prevent you from using AR

yes--video link in OP or use splhexeditor to change back to stock sizes

yes--unless changed the unlock icon is gone
[Nexus One Android Development] ko0l:
Help, my phone have been stuck on flashing flashing blackrose for over 30mins now.

Anyone know what I should do?

I was using an older version 111118 I think, and wanted to update blackrose and resize the partition, ran blackrose.exe and its stuck on flashing blackrose now.

Edit: finally decided just to unplug the phone. Restarted the comp and phone and ran blackrose again. Flashed successfully this time.
[Nexus One Android Development] mo2002:
SOLVED

i get this message when attempting to open blackrose to resize

any suggestions?

--------------------

so i turned off debugging went into bootloader then i get stuck with waiting for device. Rebooted, turned debugging back on and got the message again. I turn off deugging, boot into bootloader again and I get the waiting for device message so searching through the forum i saw this

If you stuck <waiting for device>

I'm sure the problem is fastboot usb driver

Check your fastboot usb driver.

so i copy pasted the same USB driver folder i had there from day 1 and i got the initial message again. Turn debugging back on, boot into bootloader and get waiting for device.

------------

3/8/12

i just started from scratch

downgraded to 2.2.1 then rooted then set partitions correctly then installed the desired ROM

working like a charm.

Im sure the driver thing was a problem but i did everything else on another PC so idk. I would suggest #934 as another member instructed.
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
The USB driver needs to be installed to your PC, not copy and paste. You might want to check post #934 on this thread for the answer from the developer. His answer on the other post is to flash another ROM.
[Nexus One Android Development] mo2002:
ugh i hate searching and then overlooking a recent post, thank you i will look to install the driver and look at the post mentioned
[Nexus One Android Development] :
If you have verified you have the drivers per efrants post 917 and you said you dl'd br and extracted it and have the folders with one having blackrose.exe

Then:

plug in your phone with debugging selected--do not go to bootloader, just have rom boooted

then click on blackrose.exe, let it run

it will reboot into bootloader and you can see new hboot

you do need hboot 0.35.0017 installed before you can do this

at least that is how it worked on the initial br version I installed
[Nexus One Android Development] ViViDboarder:
Hey, I'm new to the N1. If I have a custom recovery, is the

fastboot flash recovery go33.lol

required? Or can I just flash hboot?

Also, is it possible to revert in the future to stock HBOOT? Also... can I pull the splash image some way so I can restore it after this?
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
I think HBOOT is independent from recovery. Also, if you can pull the splash image, then yes, you flash it back if you choose so. I flashed custom splash image with the word "GOOGLE" that I downloaded from this thread.
[Nexus One Android Development] ViViDboarder:
Do you know the command to pull? I was searching around to try and find it.
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
Although the answers to all your questions are all in the thread, I will go over them again.

The shipping HBOOT does NOT allow flashing of any unsigned HBOOT. Period. dla5244 has manged to find an exploit that will trick it to flash an unsigned image. So, to answer your question, if you are using a shipping HBOOT (like 0.35.0017), you cannot just "fastboot flash hboot xxxxxx.hbo". You need to boot the exploit (with fastboot boot), and then flash the modified HBOOT.

Yes.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20037947&postcount=493
[Nexus One Android Development] :
That's not the right code, more like

fastboot boot go33.lol for the exploit

and

fastboot flash hboot hboot_blackrose.nb0 or whatever correct hboot name it is you need to flash

But, I am not on my computer and don't even know if that is the correct one for you in your situation. Why not install Blackrose with the zip on OP page

Have you read any of the OP and thread pages 16-40 and last 15 pages they would help a lot

Oops, you beat me efrant--that's good because you are much better at this than me--:)
[Nexus One Android Development] don_kamil:
How to back to stock hboot (non blackrose)? Just uninstall it? Or have to I resize partinion too?
[Nexus One Android Development] jack1030:
I am having the same question too. Can anyone help? Thanks.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
The uninstall vid is in OP--just follow directions

then fastboot the stock hboot

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28338566/d6096cac5e9f.signed-hboot-0.35.0017.zip

extract hboot.img to fastboot.exe folder and fastboot it fastboot flash hboot hboot.img

reboot bootloader fastboot reboot-bootloader

you can use splhexeditor or equivalent to check partition sizes for stock 145/95/196

If I am incorrect on those steps someone let me know--

---------- Post added at 10:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 PM ----------

Why do you want to uninstall br--unless it is a warranty thing, just change layout with splhexeditor for whatever rom you are using--keep both hboots in tools

I am not even sure you need to change for CM7, it may work with ICS layout with a fresh flash and then you can restore to same layout

MIUI needs more cache though--it does not move data as CM7 does if cache is too small. At least that is how I understand it--

Ken
[Nexus One Android Development] jack1030:
Thanks for your help, rugmankc. Btw, what is a splhexeditor? How to use it?

I am a newbie in all these, and it would help if you could explain a little bit. Thanks again.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
No problem--it Thanks if i helped--

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28338566/SPLHexEditor_111006.exe

just open/run it and it gives you a Browse window to browse to the custom hboot file in your tools folder or wherever you have it. When loaded it will let you resize partition--very easy and fast. You can also just verify the layout before you fastboot an hboot. Like I said I keep ICS and stock in tools so just seconds to swap between roms.

Props to intersectraven on this tool

Also, BR Editor will do this and can assign titles--I just started with splhexeditor before br editor was included, I think, and just got use to it.

Ken
[Nexus One Android Development] don_kamil:
Thanks a lot. I thought, that stock hboot is neccesery to install CM.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
Not sure how you meant your reply

but you can install CM7 with BR hboot and maybe the same ICS partition sizes. Believe some have done that. Just do a fresh flash and not an old restore.

Nandroid first
[Nexus One Android Development] don_kamil:
I wiped all data and caches and install CM build 253 (link for CM7.2 doesn't work). I didn't resize partition (use this from ICS). Everything wokrs good.

Now I think, to install MIUI.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
get use to wiping EVERYTHING including system before any new flash, esp differnet roms

MIUI standard won't run on ICS partition sizes, not enough cache. If you are trying the ICS one on XDA it is not stable for a lot of people--read/scan all threads and their OP pages first, before flashing--safer--
[Nexus One Android Development] don_kamil:
I won't MIUI ICS. I won't ICS, cuse it hasn't camera.

So I have to change size of partition? This SPLHexEdition?
[Nexus One Android Development] :
if you just installed blackrose and never changed partition sizes to ICS sizes by making a custom hboot and fasbooting it or using blackrose editor you are still on stock sizes 145mb System, 95mb Cache, 196mb Data.

Shouldn't have to do anything but usaul wipes and how to handle a2sd with each different rom.

The splhexeditor can repartition to 220/16/200 for ICS if needed and back to 145/95/196.
[Nexus One Android Development] don_kamil:
I have ICS partition (220/16/200).

Have I to change it to stock?
[Nexus One Android Development] Wylker:
If you want blackrose with stock partitions there is a file in your blackrose/binary file called hboot_blackrose.nb0 that has stock partition sizes, in that same folder there is hboot_stock.nb0 that contains stock hboot.

To install them boot to your bootloader, put the phone in fastboot and do:

fastboot flash hboot [file]
[Nexus One Android Development] don_kamil:
After that, have Ito flash new recovery?
