@dla5244,

In keeping with my commitment to use fastboot more, I want to fastboot your your new 120216 exploit from the binary. I put it (go35.lol) in my tools and plan on doing what I did last time--

fastboot boot go35.lol

fastboot reboot-bootloader

then I will flash my modified hboot for ics, that is currently on phone

since this a new blackrose with two go.lol's in binary are my above commands correct to get 120216 on phone

Thanks,

Ken
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
I think you are mixing up some terms and/or concepts here. The .hb0 file that you are flashing IS Blackrose or the modified bootloader or the modified hboot or whatever you want to call it. It is this file that has all the functionality/commands/etc. The file that ends in .lol is the exploit or the hack that allows you to flash a non-stock bootloader like Blackrose.

Now, unless something has changed since I got rid of my N1, once you have a version of Blackrose on your device, you should no longer have any use for the exploit, as Blackrose skips the security check, and will allow you to flash non-stock bootloaders anyway.

The two commands you mentioned won't do anything for you. You are booting an exploit that you don't even need, then you are rebooting, which essentially eliminates the exploit (as it is not permanent).

Edit: The Blackrose.exe file is essentially just fancy script that shows you a menu and executes the fastboot/adb/shell commands for you, so that the whole thing is n00b-friendly
[Nexus One Android Development] :
thanks again efrant

i have told people how to flash the exploit that could not get br on their phone thru blackrose.exe. so, unless i want to use the "noob friendly" command window i have no need for br install updates. since, i can now fastboot custom hboots of whatever partition size i want, which is the whole purpose of br. not really interested in eng hboot atm.

i knew i didn't really need it for my purposes, and would just have additional features in the br command window which i don't use anymore. thanks to your previous help, i have been trying to fastboot/adb all i can.

[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
In case it wasn't known, Blackrose IS the engineering hboot, just with the security check removed and some additional features added.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
Got it

and unless i wanted real s-off to relock, no real need for most people to have the actual full eng hboot--which is 0.35.2017--right?

are you enjoying the GN--I have my eyes set on the Blaze unless some quads get here shortly after it comes out--
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
The stock eng hboot has less features than Blackrose. Blackrose is the eng hboot with more features. You don't get anything more by having the stock eng hboot vs the modified eng hboot (I.e., Blackrose). S-OFF is something separate and not related to the eng hboot.

I really like GN. Only complaints are:

1) no microsd card slot

2) it's made out of plastic, not metal like the N1

3) no LTE radio on the GSM version.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
thanks for all the info as usual

my only dislike on the GN was the lack of sdcard--guess you get use to it

really like ICS over sense now, so next phone will have ICS--still a year left with tmo contract, but not opposed to buying a phone outright or leaving contract if Verizon has what i want--strong signal strength and FAST

thanks again and will get back on topic--:)
[Nexus One Android Development] Saphroxx:
Euh.. :/ Firstly, you don't get to relock simply if you have the eng hboot.

Secondly, blackrose IS eng hboot, as stated by efrant.

Get your facts straight and don't give instructions to other people if you have no clue what you're talking about. Don't take this as an offense, I'm just saying because I noticed several times already that you provide wrong or semi-wrong info on this board.

I'm going to upgrade from 20111231_3 to the latest tonight.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
Well, I am sorry I disappoint Saphroxx, maybe just a misunderstanding and a poorly worded post on my part--:)

Second--I know you can't relock by just having the eng hboot. I know you need to get radio s-off and I believe simlock off. I don't really care as I don't want to do that and would not guide someone with a step by step procedure to do it.

Third--I know blackrose is based off 0.35.2017. It says it on OP. Again, I don't need the details. There may have been a misunderstanding of my main question on my post that efrant so politely, as usual, answered. I only wanted to know if the go35.lol was the correct exploit to fastboot like the go and go2.lol's were and nothing changed. I am petty sure it is. People have used this method, thanks to advice from efrant when not able to install br with br.exe. I know once you flash a modified hboot it is gone on your phone. I see that every time I do it, and I flash a lot of roms. I know I don't need it, I can change partition sizes any time I want now. I just like to experiment--

Fourth--I try to help people who I feel have tried to help themselves first. I have moderate knowledge and make no claim to having all the answers. We are all at different levels and none of us born with all this info. If we err on occasion--well we are not perfect

I have helped a lot of people who are just starting out or new to a specific rom. A pay it forward type of help in thanks to others who have had the patience to help me. Sometimes we screw it up.

I won't post anymore on this out of respect to dla5244 and the fine thread he has--:)
[Nexus One Android Development] iakeco:
3 days ago I updated Blackrose, it said everything was ok. Now I can not get into my phone. I think I have to reflash 4ext. Does anyone know how do I to reflash 4ext the easiest way. I have had this problem and been without a phone now for the last 3 days.
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
I had the same situation as yours. After you updated blackrose to the latest version, you have to resize your layout partition and then do a fasboot to flash the hboot cust.nb0. I use RA recovery but I don't think 4ext has issue. Good luck
[Nexus One Android Development] iakeco:
when I flash "hboot hboot_blackrose.nb0" I get this message sending 'hboot' <512 kb>... and it just hangs there.

Can anyone help.

Please, Please.

I've been without a phone for a few days and I really need this to work
[Nexus One Android Development] oligambit:
@iakeco Just check that the hboot is in the same directory as the fastboot.exe program!

@taodan 4Ext has no issue, its as good as RA recovery.
[Nexus One Android Development] kickr:
Is it necessary to resize the partitions?

I'm on a mac and i can't find any solutions for that.

Or should i use a other tool?
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
Please look into the blackrose folder and you will see a file hboot_brcust.nb0 copy it to the fastboot directory or to c: directory and then flash it. Read the OP's first page for instructions.
[Nexus One Android Development] iakeco:
I don't see a file in the blackrose folder called hboot_brcust.nb0. I see hboot_blackrose.nb0 and I also see hboot_stock.nb0
[Nexus One Android Development] klaberte:
No, it is not necessary to resize the partitions. You do so only if you have a need to. The two most common reasons to resize partitions (as I understand it) is:

1. You want to flash ICS and need a larger /system partition to accommodate the larger OS.

2. You want shrink the size of your /cache partition and give the space to your /data partition. Doing so means you have more room to install apps.

Sorry, not a Mac user, so cannot help you there.

---------- Post added at 10:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

hboot_blackrose.nb0 is created by the partition resize process. Basically, when you resize, it creates a new hboot_blackrose.nb0 to reflect the new partition sizes, and then it is flashed to your phone. If you have not tried to resize partitions, hboot_blackrose.nb0 will not be there.
[Nexus One Android Development] kickr:
Yeah, i want to install ICS

So, finally i'm on windows.

But i have no idea how to resize the partitions...the OP sounds kina weird to me :(

I got Blackrose installed. When i use Blackrose.exe it's only says "Waiting for device"

What can i do?

Edit: Hey, seems it worked - but i have no idea why...sorry :/
[Nexus One Android Development] klaberte:
From your phone (which should be booted into Android), hit settings-applications-development, and make sure "USB debugging" is checked. Connect your phone to the windows pc via a USB cable. In the safely remove hardware indicator in the lower right corner (near the clock), make sure it shows "Safely Remove Android Composite ABD Interface". If it doesn't your phone is not properly connecting to your Windows machine.

Once all of that is done, startup Blackrose.exe and follow the instructions from the first post.

Let us know how it is going.

OP, consider adding this info to your tutorial on Post 1.
[Nexus One Android Development] Seby01:
Guys I created a new boot logo for our N1!

It's the same of the one for Nexus S, with Google logo on black background.

For install it, just put the img file in platform.tools and follow this command in a open cmd (you must have blackrose installed):

fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img

Warning: I take no responsibility for any damage on your phone!

Click on thanks button if you like it ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] yjagota:
I am using BR with my N1 but since day one I had a strange problem. I think that the BlackRose.exe cannot find adb/fastboot executables. I don't think this is a path problem because both the executables are supplied with BR in the 'other' directory and I have checked their presence and they are there with no folder permission issues. I was manually flashing BR with fastboot till now, but with this new version which can communicate and update BR automatically, I think I better find a solution to this strange problem. Can somebody please help me with this? The output of the BlackRose.exe is attached here as a JPG image.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

YJ.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
@yjagota,

Probably a dumb question--but, you said your are using fastboot and not br to do your hboots.

Have you ever got a br.exe to work and if not can you "adb devices" and see your phone Id in the command window?

Just wondering if you have adb drivers on your pc. I thought I did at first with br, then found out they were moved out of my tools folder and had to put them back.

Ken
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
Wow, nicely done. I flashed the image and it looks beautiful. Thank you :)

---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

What I did was created a folder in the C drive on my PC named "blackrose" and then extracted the files to there and then updated and resized the partition and, once resized, a file hboot_brcust.nb0 was created. I then flashed the hboot_brcust.nb0 to my phone. Below are the instructions from the developer on the first page.

*.Those who using older version custom BlackRose(eg.111231), Since older version can't communicate with BlackRose installer so you need to follow my direction.

Once you follow my direction, you no need to do this later

1.customize same as previous partition layout using BlackRose editor(view "execute BREditor")

2.fastboot flash hboot hboot_brcust.nb0

3.fastboot reboot
[Nexus One Android Development] yjagota:
I see my device fine in 'fastboot devices' when it is bootloader mode, and also in 'adb devices' when I connect it in normal mode. It is not an issue of drivers. If it would have been, I would not be able to use fastboot to write the hboot directly.
[Nexus One Android Development] Theshawty:
I'm using the 12/31/2011 hboot and want to upgrade to the latest. How do I do this since the program can't communicate with my device because of the old hboot? Also, where are the md5's?

I have the ICS hboot scheme but I have to go back to stock blackrose. Mainly for making MIUI work better. To install large apps from the market.

Plugged my phone to the new blackrose tool and let it upgrade and also flash stock blackrose. I run MIUI GB, so why not, eh? When I'll flash ICS, how do I go about editing the hboot partitions? Or is it safer to flash a partition scheme based on the newest blackrose?
[Nexus One Android Development] Reazy64:
Hi,

I flash the Hboot with the BlackRose.exe, after i create custom HBOOT i create a password protection.

But i lost recevery and i can't flash anything now !

I try "fastboot oem brcmd pass ********" but it's not working, need some help pls.
[Nexus One Android Development] oligambit:
Have you change partitions? Perhaps that's why you lose recovery or when you are password protected you cannot access recovery!

So remove password or reinstall BR hboot without protection. Then reflash a recovery.

Hope you will succeed!
[Nexus One Android Development] Reazy64:
How remove the password if fastboot oem brcmd pass **** Not working ?
[Nexus One Android Development] oligambit:
"TIP

If lock state, oem pass command work as unlock method

Otherwise, work as create encrypted password"

from the second post!
[Nexus One Android Development] Reazy64:
i understand but ...
[Nexus One Android Development] oligambit:
If you are on windows then try "fastboot-w " instead of "fastboot" in the command line.
[Nexus One Android Development] Reazy64:
not working with fastboot-w too ...
[Nexus One Android Development] oligambit:
Last line signalling "acces denied" means a wrong password with the right command!
[Nexus One Android Development] Reazy64:
I try everything ....

Is there a way to flash a ROM ?
[Nexus One Android Development] oligambit:
To flash a rom you have to access the recovery with "fastboot oem brcmd brec" command when you are deprotected. Otherwise you have to flash again BlackRose Hboot.

You said you lost your recovery, you can get it without flashing either with "Rom manager" application or with the "4Ext" application. Both on the market!
[Nexus One Android Development] Reazy64:
I resize partition so phone don't boot.
[Nexus One Android Development] oligambit:
so use blackrose editor (standalone prgm) to create another custom hboot without protection! and flash it manually (hoping its allowed!!) with "fastboot flash hboot hboot_brcust.nb0" then access or flash a recovery and then a rom!

That's all of what i see.
[Nexus One Android Development] Reazy64:
Not allowed.
[Nexus One Android Development] oligambit:
Its beyond my user's knowledge. I hope that dla5244 can help you. Good luck.
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
If you forgot the password, I'm not sure there is anything you can do about it. dla5244 will likely have set up a "master" reset password, so he may be able to help out.
[Nexus One Android Development] d4rkm4nx99:
youtube tutorial ?
[Nexus One Android Development] Reazy64:
I hope too
[Nexus One Android Development] HTC_Bradlee:
I have Blackrose installed - that all went perfectly. However, I tried flashing this boot logo and I'm receiving the error: cannot load "splash1.img" I've made certain that it's in platform tools and that adb recognizes the phone - is there something else I may have missed?
[Nexus One Android Development] oligambit:
Does it have the correct size 480*800 ?
[Nexus One Android Development] HTC_Bradlee:
Yes - it has worked for others in this thread.
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
Your path to the image is not correct in adb command. Copy and place it in c:\ directory and then flash it. For example fastboot flash splash1 c:\splash1.img
[Nexus One Android Development] wuZheng:
Potential Problems before installing BR

I tried installing BR on a Win7x64 machine and got the components missing/corrupted message on startup. Then I discovered that fastboot is missing, so I'm guessing that needs to be in the system path. But then I remembered that I most recently flashed this radio: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=816917 and the OP on there stated that he didn't sign the update package, however others on this thread seem to be having success with the 5.12 radio, so that doesn't necessarily mean that the radio itself isn't signed right? Also another curiosity, when I enter 'adb devices' in the console, it doesn't give me the proper string for my phone, instead it gives me something along the lines of '0123456789ABCDEF device'. Are any of these things I should be concerned about before installing BlackRose?
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
Not necessarily, but it would certainly make things easier if you put the path to the /tools and /platform-tools folders in your Windows path.

That radio is signed, i.e., the radio.img file is signed. It's just the update zip file that is not signed.

That is normal.
[Nexus One Android Development] HTC_Bradlee:
That solved it. In the future, I won't assume adb and/or fastboot recognize files in their own directory (platform.tools).
[Nexus One Android Development] Theshawty:
That's odd, because it should recognize files in its own directory. Maybe you haven't set up the environmental values correctly?
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
Glad that it worked out for you and hope you enjoy your new boot image :)
[Nexus One Android Development] HTC_Bradlee:
Woops, meant only to quote you there. Hope we can solve this, then!

I have the environment values set to access tools, platform.tools, and android. With that last one (and adb being moved), the first two may not be necessary, but I saw conflicting information. Both the adb and fastboot commands are recognized in cmd, and with a path to the file I wanted to flash, everything worked as expected. I'm really unsure of what the issue is, but if it works from now on, I' have no qualms.

Any idea?
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
Try to use the BReditor standalone to resize the partition, see if that works for you. Did you flash the latest BlackRose? I assume so.
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
I dont find breditor standalone in the latest version? Is it integrated with blackrose.exe or do we need to use the breditor from previous versions?
[Nexus One Android Development] Theshawty:
Everything is integrated into the new blackrose.exe
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
Thats fine. So installing blackrose bootloader, creating (custom hboot)brcrust.nb0 then applying the created hboot is done successively in steps via blackrose.exe right?
[Nexus One Android Development] Theshawty:
I think so, yeah. I haven't used the new blackrose but that sounds logical.
[Nexus One Android Development] Icarez:
Hi there.

Tried to install the blackrose on my nexus one.

Installation was ok, rebooted.

Then to install the medroid rom, i relaunch blackrose to choose the 220/16/200 custom blackrose.

But now, my nexus one doesn't boot anymore (stuck on the google red, blue, green and yellow cross).

If i press the track ball and power up the phone, i am on the hboot, but when i choose recovery, it tried to boot, but stuck on a screen with a warning ! and a little green droid.

How to come back ?

Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
Have you tried the AmonRA or 4ext recovery? I have heard CWM has caused problem
[Nexus One Android Development] meechto:
Install a Custom Recovery Image using the fastboot mode

BlackRose doesn't mess with the recovery whatsoever. Nevertheless, try booting into the fastboot mode and flash the Amon_RA's recovery as described under the Installing a Custom Recovery Image section of this guide http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Nexus_One:_Full_Update_Guide Post that you should be able to boot into the recovery and flash a custom ROM. Hope that helps! :D
[Nexus One Android Development] Icarez:
Thanks,

I was able to come back using the

fastboot flash hboot hboot_blackrose.nb0

But i have tried again to resize the partition, and i have the same problem, phone is stucked on the google red blue green yellow cross.

How to resize the partition ? Did i forgot something ?
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
You need to flash the hboot_brcust.nb0 after you have resized the partition. Watch the video clips on the OP page for resize partition.
[Nexus One Android Development] Icarez:
Where i can find the hboot_brcust.nb0 ?

EDIT : ok, created it with the editor mode.
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
After you resize the partition, blackrose creates hboot_brcust.nb0. It should be in your PC
[Nexus One Android Development] Theshawty:
Let me get this straight. I have updated to the newest blackrose. If I were to start it up and resize my partition, a new generated hboot.nb0 is created? I thought the changes were all internal, i.e. no external flashing required?
[Nexus One Android Development] Icarez:
No, no hboot_brcust in the blackrose folder after resized the partition.

But i have created it manually. I will try this way and It's did not work.

The strange things is, every time i launch blackrose.exe, it showing me the text about the zerg exploit :

Do you knwo how to reinstall blackrose from beginning manually ?

---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 PM ----------

When i reboot to hboot, i have :

* BlakcRose - Made by ... *

STOCK - 145/96/186

NEXUSONE PVT ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-7.35.5017

MICROP-0b15

TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0103

RADIO-5.08.00.04

is it ok ?
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
It looks ok, what's the date of blackrose? And can you flash ICS ROM?
[Nexus One Android Development] Icarez:
I've downloaded blackrose today, so...

I think i cannot flash ics rom without the 220/16/200 partition.

Actually, i already have installed the blackrose and partition on my second nexus one.

The only difference between the two nexus one is the way i root them.

My second nexus one was root long time ago.

This nexus one was root today with the zerg exploit, and blackrose.exe always show the zerg things when i launch it.
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
I believe with Gingerbreak it just root but not unlock the bootloader. You might want to unlock the bootloader also. And you need to have ICS partition in order to flash ICS rom
[Nexus One Android Development] Icarez:
I have already unlocked the bootloader. with fastboot oem unlock.

So no problem from here.

I really dont understand where this resize partition problem come from...
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
Do you have BReditor.exe in your PC? Just run it and then resize the partition manually. Watch the video clip for instructions.
[Nexus One Android Development] Icarez:
No, iam using blackrose.exe editor.

Is it the same editor than BReditor.exe ?
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
This video clip about resize partition on the OP page: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScIMetgk7Zw
[Nexus One Android Development] Icarez:
Yeah, i have already done the resize partition several time, using the blackrose.exe only (just like the youtube video), using the breditor and ncb file method.

All the time, the phone cannot boot on the recovery or on the rom.
