i really cant find the file u are referring to. but The evervolv ICS says this

fastboot flash hboot hboot_brcrust_210-8-218-ICS.nb0
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w

Can i do that ? does that help me ??

I just dont want to Brick me phone and other than that i can risk anthing else
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
That is for ICS ROM, CM7.2 is still Gingerbread. If you want to use Texasice ICS ROM then you will want to flash the hboot_brcrust_210-8-218-ICS.nb0
[Nexus One Android Development] firoz3321:
My main idea was to install the ICS. so i have ICS nbo. but i dont have the gingerbread nbo file ( i wish i know what i really am talking )

EDIT:

done installing the 'hboot_brcrust_210-8-218-ICS.nb0' now i have 'system 210 / cache 8 / userdata 218' partitions ( it says so)

but i cant get this stupid RECOVERY

Thank you taodon for the patience .. i finally got the RECOVERY

I installd the RA Recovery by this method :

via fastboot
Code:

Copy recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img to a location where fastboot can find it.
Boot your phone into fastboot mode (power on while holding the trackball)
Connect your phone via usb to your pc/mac/...
fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your phone)
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img

this time it worked .. thank you all :D
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
Glad that it worked for you :) I had the same problem as yours but I read the instructions and figured it out :)

Where can I get the SPLHexEditor program? I found a link that shows the .exe file used to be in IntersectRaven's website but the file isn't hosted anymore.
[Nexus One Android Development] Theshawty:
You could just launch the BReditor directly from CMD by navigating to the folder with blackrose.exe, then type "blackrose.exe editor"

Much easier than going through the hassle of using spl hex editor.
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
But if you really want it, it is attached.

EDIT: Something wrong with the attachment. Re-uploaded.
[Nexus One Android Development] OJ in Compton:
EDIT: The zip is only 5.7 KB, is that correct? I can't seem to open the .zip file.

Not using it to change the partition size, I want to put the padlock back on the boot screen. Just a visual necessity for me :)

[Nexus One Android Development] OJ in Compton:
Edited my post, the zip you attached doesn't seem to open? It's only 5.7 KB.
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
That is correct. It is only 5.7KB. You wanted IntersectRaven's SPL Hex Editor, no?

Try it now. I re-uploaded it.
[Nexus One Android Development] OJ in Compton:
It worked this time, thanks! However, I didn't realize what this program was...simply a quick way to edit the SPL itself. All I needed was a plain old hex editor :rolleyes:

Anyway, since it's been buried far back, here's how to do it, thanks to dla5244:

Just reboot the phone and tell us what the bootloader says. Blackrose S-Off, is that correct? If yes, then proceed to create and flash the custom partition if that is your intention.

Spoke to my cousin and he wants to do this. Is it really simple as in the video? Whats the probabilty of brick?

Phone is s-on

hboot 0.35.0017

radio 5-12.00.00

Edit: I did it and chose system 220 and cache 16

now on miui fresh install, in about menu it shows internal memory:

200mb total

available 161

Is this correct? Shouldnt there be more space?
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
yup. its correct 220+16+200=436 :)
[Nexus One Android Development] ermacwins:
So running miui and with root explorer in system/apps it shows 65mb free. Anyway I can take about 50mb from there and add it to data, where other apps install?
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
yes u can do that. do a backup first. run blackrose again and enter the partition layout u want.(becareful in choosing /system size) and then wipe everything and finally restore :)
[Nexus One Android Development] ermacwins:
So when I ran blackrose first, I did 220 and 16, should I do 270 and 16?

Does backup need to be done twice?
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
i think 220/16 & 270/16 corresponds to system/cache.

y would you want to increase the size of /system when you already hv 65 mb free in it. search for the thread to findout the ideal layout for the rom u gonna use and do accordingly...

backup jus ones :)

Ask for help:

I have followed the post but problems occurred.

I finished the BlackRose installation. However, When i switch on my phone. It normally show the bootloader interface, but when i choose to reboot or enter the recovery mode. It stopped at the X display, (waited for 20-30mins, it still the same)

So what can i do? or something missed?

Can anyone help me?

[Nexus One Android Development] ermacwins:
Was confused because on vid it shows system: 220 cache 16 then label

Whats is the label for? So if I want to get more space for data how do I do that? Should I do system 170 and cache 16? Just confused on how to increase app data partition.

Boot up phone and inctall clockworkmod and then flash recovery
[Nexus One Android Development] roy87514:
phone can't enter to the previous rom....so how can i install? would you pls tell me ?
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
label is jus for ur naming purpose.

exactly 170 system 16 cache and so remaining is data.

nw u hv more space for /data to install more apps :)
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
can u enter into recovery (power+ vol key) ?

if so wipe everything and do a fresh install.

if not ,then u need to fastboot the recovery image. and then flash new rom
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
What? This makes no sense.

Boot into the bootloader, flash your custom recovery (CWM or Amon_RA) using fastboot. Then flash whatever it is you want to flash.
[Nexus One Android Development] ermacwins:
So thats right? The more lower I go for system, it will increase for data storage?

Also what is the best kernel for N1, was thinking of overclocking to 1.2ghz and see how that goes

This is a shot in the blue: I use BlackRose successfully with my daily provider O2 in Germany. But being on vacation in the US, I am not able to log in to AT&T with a GoPhone SIM (AT&T's prepaid package). Roaming with the O2 SIM works. AT&T staff don't have any clues what's going on.

Does AT&T require an original HBOOT or anything? Any idea what I could try? Feel free to direct me to another thread or forum if this has nothing to do with BlackRose. Any help via PM is highly appreciated though.
[Nexus One Android Development] alvinbam2728:
hi sir im really confused with this, so where do i type the command?

Doesn't AT&T use different frequencies? You should have T-Mobile, they use the same frequencies as European providers.
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
No. All Nexus One's will work on 2G in the U.S. on any provider. (For 3G on AT&T, you need to the the 850MHz version of the Nexus One.)

So, yes: AT&T does use different (3G) frequencies. And he should have T-Mobile (for 3G) :p.

I do have an US-N1, so with AT&T bands. T-Mobile stores want me to pay 130$ in total for just one month prepaid data - no way! On the other hand, AT&T is still not working.

Hi all,

I have a broken power button. with Blackrose may I know if I can still power on the phone by continuous plugging and unplugging of charger (in case the phone died of low batt)?

Sorry for noob question if it's been asked before. I tried to search but mostly returned blackrose can use trackball to select options in recovery but didn't get anything on powering the phone from death.

Big Issues

Here's my story guys:

I stayed away from blackrose for the longest time because I thought that it might be a hassle, but ended up doing it (and realizing how easy it was) for the sake of wanting to try out ics. Anyways, everything was great for a while until I grew wary from the issues that came to me from the roms.

At my last working-rom point, I decided that I would return to a stable gingerbread rom because I needed that stability and reliability. So, I first went into my Amon Ra recovery (i'm old school), and made an ext partition again and upgraded it to ext4. Then I remembered that I had to have a stock blackrose. So, I started up this MIUI rom and then used the Blackrose.exe to return to stock Blackrose.

This is really where the trouble began. My phone seemed perfectly normal; the bootloader screen was normal with the blackrose heading and the correct partition sizes for stock. So I rebooted to go to my recovery. Everything seemed normal, until more then 10 seconds passed after booting into recovery. on the bottom of the screen, there was the Amon Ra recovery label, but there were no options. It was completely blank. I did a couple of things to try and fix this issue.

First, I reformatted the SD card via a microsd card adapter on my pc and then added a couple of stable CM builds on it. After this didn't work, I went to Command Prompt and started running fastboot commands to reflash my recovery. Apparently it was successful, but it really wasn't, as after trying two times, the recovery screen was blank.

In desperation (I need my phone tomorrow) I used my PASSIMG.zip to go back to stock everything. The flashing of the image was completely successful, except for the bootloader. Blackrose has security to prevent flashing of a new bootloader. I found that nothing was really working: no stable boot and no recovery at all.

I need to get blackrose.exe to work to I can reflash at least blackrose (there must've been an error?) or return to my old hboot, or even just turn off hboot protection (if the solution lies within PASSIMG.zip). Sadly, the program I've seen only recognizes my nexus when it boots to a rom, and not in fastboot or the recovery screen. I can't do anything on my phone at the current moment and would love some help to see how I can fix this issue. I just need a stable rom.
[Nexus One Android Development] dla5244:
First sorry my english.

I think you didn't wipe cache partition.

You need to wipe cache partition after resize partition.

Btw, You can turn off blackrose protect without recognizing adb

1.connect usb cable and enter fastboot mode

2.execute blackrose.exe with "skip" argument

Eg. Blackrose.exe skip

3.uninstall blackrose

I hope that this solution works for you :)

The device have to be unlock before flash the HBOOT Blackrose?
[Nexus One Android Development] gregferns:
no, you can use BR with a LOCKED BOOTLOADER.
[Nexus One Android Development] yxcv99:
I got no chance to edit the partition layout. Everytime I start BlackRose it flashes BlackRose HBOOT again and again. Any thoughts?
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
u can create the partition layout using br editor or splhexeditor and fastboot it :)
[Nexus One Android Development] yxcv99:
Aaah, thank you n1newbie! I didnt read the last postings, I thought it must be in the first few comments by OP.

//edit;

Ohhh-kay thats above my skills.
[Nexus One Android Development] Javimoran:
Execute the BREditor, make your partition layout, when you finisht it will be in the hboot folder with the name hboot_brcust, then you just have to flash it using fastboot
[Nexus One Android Development] yxcv99:
Hi Javimoran,

I would like to do that, buuut... is there a linux-binary for BREditor?
[Nexus One Android Development] olboss:
So if I flash BR with my locked bootloader and after I reflash a stock bootloader, it still lock ?
[Nexus One Android Development] yxcv99:
Yes it is. With uninstalling BlackRose you return to S-ON. In fact that should not be possible, but the developer explained it somewhere in this thread - its some kind of geeky nerd stuff ;-)

//edit:

here it is:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20548080&postcount=607
[Nexus One Android Development] olboss:
It's not possible but I can do this ? I don't understand

EDIT :

I understood BR doesn't check if it's S-ON so we have a "fake S-OFF" but when we reflash a stock BL it recheck the security and we get the S-ON

Okay, thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
Exactly. Blackrose doesn't change the secure flag, so despite it saying S-OFF, the secure flag us still set to 1, so you are not really S-OFF You just have most of the functionality of S-OFF. That's why you cannot re-lock the bootloader even with Blackrose.

hi im new to blackrose and i want to try ics on my phone and i did and i didnt very much like it and i still have it installed and when i go to uninstall it it says my hboot is corrupted anyone can help.and i dont remember the password i put to protec the hboot and i tried ever password i can think of any way to reset it?
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
You don't need to uninstall Blackrose to use Gingerbread ROMs. Just repartition your layout and flash via fastboot the customized partition.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
Also, unless you are using MIUI, you don't even need to change the layout. I keep 220/16/200 for ICS/Sense/CM7 with no issues--
[Nexus One Android Development] brandontamas:
ok but everytime i open blackrose its says cannot find files and quickly say hboot it corrupted and the phone boots but just stays at the nexus logo
[Nexus One Android Development] :
can you boot into bootloader then recovery---hold down pwr and trackball at same time

also do you use sdk to use fastboot commands?
[Nexus One Android Development] brandontamas:
i can boot into bootloader and i think i do i dl all the sdk files and stuff.but when i click recovery it boots into fastboot thing
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
Someone also had a similar problem and here is the solution: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19793137&postcount=424
[Nexus One Android Development] :
you probably lost recovery

if so, you will need to fastboot a new recovery thru android sdk

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img where recovery.img is exact name of recovery

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Nexus_One/Recovery_Images#Installing_a_Recovery_Image

don't need the stock recovery image in this case

but you do need to put the .img file in where you can change directory to it (cd), i do my android sdk tolls folder

---------- Post added at 11:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 PM ----------

hope taodan's method works first--:)
[Nexus One Android Development] brandontamas:
well i tried both of your ways and they didnt work heres a pick of what im doing for both and what i get
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
Did you try to do adb devices and fastboot devices to see it recognizes your phone? If not, that means you have not installed ADB or fastboot. Download Android SDK and then install and set the environment for it to work and then try to do the blackrose again.
[Nexus One Android Development] brandontamas:
Iguess i have it all installed it recognizes the phone.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
well here is an sdk link and adb info

http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/

i have tools not platform-tools depends on sdk version

my path is C:/ android/android-sdk-windows/tools yours may vary

so at command window when you first open it i type

cd/

cd android/android-sdk-windows/tools

then i type adb devices with phone just plugged in and not in fastboot, right after tools, not on a new line

or fastboot devices if phone is booted into fastboot bootloader

anyway to use adb you just plug phone into computer with usb debugging selected on phone, do not be booted into fastboot

to use fastboot you must be booted into fastboot mode--pwr and trackball pressed at same time and you are in fastboot

can you type fastboot devices while booted into fastboot mode and tell us what comes up on screen

if you are to that point you may need to fastboot a new hboot to get adb working

take the first two files and put them in your tools folder or wherever your fastboot.exe file is. you have to cd to that directory in command window first, then fastboot devices to make sure phone is recognized

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28338566/go2.lol

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28338566/hboot_blackrose.nb0

the go2.lol is BR dated 12/31/2011

after fastboot devices type:

Type fastboot boot go2.lol

Type fastboot flash hboot hboot_blackrose.nb0

Type fastboot reboot-bootloader to see if you have new hboot

it will be stock partition sizes 145/96/xxx

to change to ICS table size you dl below link to get hexeditor and use it to change to 220/16/200

to do that open the hexeditor and browse to where you have the above hboot_blackrose.nb0. then use the slider to change partition sizes

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

you can rename it hboot_brcust.nb0 to identify it as new hboot

you can always use hexeditor to check hboot file sizes before fastbooting it
