[Nexus One Android Development] :
you don't need to flash a new recovery unless you lose it like I did twice--:)

which ever way you fastboot stock hboot make sure you put the hboot in the same folder as your fastboot.exe, usually, and in my case tools

but, like I said if you use br editor you can do it thru that

you don't NEED splhexeditor, i just use it and fastboot for everything as opposed to br. it does come in handy to verify sizes before you flash an hbbot
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
I think it is a wise idea to re-flash the recovery partition if you change partition sizes in the bootloader, just to make sure. It could eliminate some potential issues. (You actually should re-flash all partitions, but if you are using the recovery to flash a new ROM, then the recovery takes care of doing that.

Thanks a lot of everybody! Now I have blackrose with stock size of partition.

Nexus One boot image

I created the boot image with the word "NEXUS ONE" and I had flashed it on my phone. So I just wanted to share with you guys. Attached is the boot image.The fastboot command to use is:

fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img

Please note that you need to specify the path to the image where it resides in your PC when flashing.

Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you damage your phone
[Nexus One Android Development] :
looks great taodan--flashed perfect--:)
[Nexus One Android Development] ViViDboarder:
Thanks a lot both of you for your info.

There are always some things that are different between different devices and BR (or custom HBOOT) is something that I hadn't dealt with before.

As for why I asked about 'fastboot flash recovery', that's actually what is listed in the README in the .zip file in the OP. What you said about having to boot it for the exploit makes a lot of sense. I didn't see that in the OP and couldn't figure it out.

Now, you guys sound a little more objective than the people in the ICS threads. Are they not worth flashing at this point? The small cache partitions I imagine could be problematic. Or are there tricks to mount sd partitions to cache to make up for it?
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
So I just read the readme file. Yes, it does say to flash the exploit instead of booting it, but it also says to then boot into recovery. So, in essence, it is that same thing: whether you boot the exploit from fastboot, or flash it to the recovery partition and then boot your device into the recovery is essentially the same.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
@ViViDboarder,

The ICS roms are very much worth flashing. Just pay close attn to requirements in OP and scan thread and read last 20 pages or so.

A lot use 4ext recovery I use Amon and have no issues, just need the sdcard set up right and wipe all including system 3x.

Liked GB and then liked Sense/Desire, but I love ICS--the look, UI, setting up apps on HS's and voice to text.

Try them out--not perfect yet but stable enough for me as a daily--

I would love to see ICS on the Galaxy Note, but that's for another sub-forum

No cache issues--

Updated Nexus One Boot Image

I posted the image for flash via fastboot in the Themes and Apps section http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1545728. Enjoy :)
[Nexus One Android Development] earth08:
Yes boss, you r right,

I had tried all Roms ( Stock, CM7, Sense, and ICS)

bt from all I like ICS as the best ROM ( It looks great and also works gr8)

before this rom i liked Sense verymuch bt after flashing Medroid ICS i liked it so much,

bt after flashing this I am back on Stock Rom as I am waiting for camera to work on ICS, without camera i wont use any ROM.

Else ICS is best now a days.

The best part is that the Dev reply to your problems.

dla5244,

Not sure if this even makes sense, but:

If someone who got radio S-OFF using an XTC clip, dumps the radio image, would it be possible for others to flash that radio image, and get radio S-OFF (if we have Blackrose)?
[Nexus One Android Development] dla5244:
Your opinion seems to possible.

But as far as i know, radio secuflag is stored nv memory(maybe).

If IMEI and device serial number is stored same place, we must not flash this because clone IMEI or personal info can cause radio brick(can't call)

I don't recommand that method.
[Nexus One Android Development] mik101:
I tried the blackrose installer (from the first post -- not the customizing partition/boot logo version) and it resulted in nothing but boot loops on my Nexus one.

I came from the 35 hboot that's mentioned in the OP and my phone is NOT an SLCD N1.

I uninstalled blackrose from fastboot in hopes that it would be back to normal but it's still looping. Going to restore my backup now.

I was running yesterdays version of CM7 (206) with wildmonks latest kernel if that matters. Everything appeared to go properly when it was installing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: I forgot to mention that recovery was showing the correct S-OFF version installed (blackrose) and after I uninstalled it, it was back to 0.35.0017 again but still bootlooping.

My backup restore booted fine. I'm glad I did one first, and I recommend others do the same.
[Nexus One Android Development] cyberon:
Can`t we just rename repartitioned hboot to "hboot_blackrose.nb0", place it on "binary" directory and apply it using "Blackrose.exe"? :confused:

So we can save data, we should nandroid first, apply repartitioned hboot and then restore, right? :D

Thanks

Ps: noticed that when applying an updated hboot the system reboots, so it wont allow nandroid restore! :(

What size cache works best with cm7?
[Nexus One Android Development] dr1337:
What an excellent and interesting development! I wonder if we could port Magldr onto the Nexus One....
[Nexus One Android Development] dla5244:
5mb and clean update rom.
[Nexus One Android Development] dla5244:
We can port magldr because we can flash bootloader.

But proper image needed.
[Nexus One Android Development] dla5244:
1. Hmm. your opinion is right.

But install process is adapted stock hboot.

If you do, you did unnecessary task(execute exploit,dump image) too.

2.I don't recommand that

Imagine that backup cache size 60mb but we can use only 5mb.

Also download folder(market app) is not changed until do clean install
[Nexus One Android Development] dla5244:
Check your adb and fastboot driver.

I don't think that bootlooping is caused by blackrose.

Because install process only touch recovery(temporary) and hboot partition.

Real blackrose is 5.35.30xx

The thing installed recovery partition is not blackrose
[Nexus One Android Development] MarkM83:
And this is for?
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
Not sure. I was merely stating that 0b15 was not SLCD as you had implied in the post I quoted. Not even sure what you were even asking in that post.

I am just curious is there anyway to use this exploit to get the Engineering hboot onto the N1?
[Nexus One Android Development] pinkster:
sorry for my ignorance, but is there a way to relock the bootloader with these stuff?
[Nexus One Android Development] dla5244:
As far as i know(maybe i'm wrong), relock function seems to communicate to OEMSBL(Radio bootloader)

We can't relock the bootloader until disable nand MPU or achieve radio S-OFF
[Nexus One Android Development] dla5244:
ENG HBOOT(S-OFF) can dump itself via saveprt2sd. (even Stock ENG-HBOOT)

exploit is not necessary.
[Nexus One Android Development] DaXmax:
Thanks for the guide! It works!
[Nexus One Android Development] PhaseBurn:
You can not lock the bootloader even with S-OFF on an engineering bootloader. Once you OEM UNLOCK, you are stuck that way permanently.

hey guys

im running cm7 on my n1, but when i go to my bootloader it says its S-ON

my n1 is using the n1table partition (145/95/197) and i thought this would change with the cm7 rom

can i install blackrose just to S-OFF and repartition my internal storage?
[Nexus One Android Development] :
if you are just running cm no need to repartition or have s-off

but, yes you can

ken
[Nexus One Android Development] shiyou:
i need more internal storage so i want to s-off it, but will my phone be wiped and such?
[Nexus One Android Development] :
no, but i would back up phone and sdcard just to be safe--never know

i don't know if you can change hboot while rom on phone and have it still work--may have to fresh flash so it picks up new table--but not sure
[Nexus One Android Development] shiyou:
can i install this even if i dont have any custom hboot?
[Nexus One Android Development] :
you don't have a custom hboot till you install br and physically change the sizes yourself-hence custom. otherwise you have the stock sizes with the ability to change them if you wish.

i am not a tech on this but installing br gives you s-off only to the point of being able to change the partition sizes system/cache/data. it is not a true s-off--that is different--as far as i understand it.
[Nexus One Android Development] shiyou:
do my phone need to boot at the bootloader for installing blackrose?

can i use my nandroid after blackrose partitioning table? or does it make the partition go back to the way it was?
[Nexus One Android Development] :
yes after installing br reboot to bootloader and see you have s-off

restoring a nandroid won't change your layout

have you read thru the thread--all this info is in it--:)
[Nexus One Android Development] shiyou:
no what i meant was, do i need to be at the bootloader b4 starting blackrose.exe for the first time?

there wasnt any good how-to in the first post
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
just you need to be booted up normally with USB Debugging selected and then run blackrose.exe and follow the instructions from there.
[Nexus One Android Development] shiyou:
ok i installed and repartitioned at 145/5/ but im stuck at the x logo

i did nandroid restore and wiped cache and dalvik but still stuck at the x logo
[Nexus One Android Development] :
why is your cache 5

i am not sure if you can restore a bu to new table layout

may have to fresh flash first
[Nexus One Android Development] shiyou:
to get more internal storage

cm7 uses the internal storage when the cache is not enough so it should be okay
[Nexus One Android Development] :
i understand that--i am running CM7 kang on ICS table

just not sure you can restore a stock table to differnet partitioned one

i fresh flashed my Kang onto the ICS table

i may be wrong, just never tried it
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
Restoring a nandroid backup should work in most cases. It may mess up if you are trying to restore partitions that are bigger than what you changed them to.

This is what I would do:

1) Boot into fastboot and plug into your computer.

2) Erase all the partitions by typing the following:

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot erase boot

3) Flash your recovery using fastboot: fastboot flash recovery <name-of-your-recovery.img>

4) Boot into recovery and restore the boot, system and userdata partitions individually.

I get stuck at this. Nothing happens after that. The phone stays in HBOOT White screen with 3 androids at bottom on skates. What did I do wrong and how to uninstall Blackrose?
[Nexus One Android Development] creebefu:
This is confusing me. I have downloaded the blackrose_120216 zip, extracted, and when I run the BlackRose.exe, even though my phone is connected via usb in fastboot mode, the cmd just stays on waiting for device.

If I open up another cmd and take it to where I have fastboot located, and run fastboot devices my phone is there, so I know there's nothing wrong with the connection. Is there something that I'm doing wrong / missing?

Using fastboot I was able to manually do the fastboot boot go.lol, and then fastboot flash hboot hboot_blackrose.nb0, and currently my phone reads

[Nexus One Android Development] :
Unless something changed, I use fastboot all the time now, you don't want to be in fastboot when when you first install br. Need drivers as mentioned, extract br zip, open br.exe, follow instructions. This is all done with phone connected via usb and debugging enabled. But, you are just running your phone's OS/Rom.

To now change partition you can use splhexeditor--

How to install Blackrose - step-by-step

Despite being extremely simple, it still seems that people can't figure out how to run Blackrose.exe.

1) Ensure USB debugging is enabled on your Nexus One.

2) Install the drivers for the Nexus One on your computer. (Make sure your computer recognizes your device in both fastboot and adb.) If you don't know how to do this, then you should not attempt to flash Blackrose until you do a bit more reading.

3) Boot your Nexus One normally and plug into your computer.

4) Download the Blackrose zip file from the first post and extract the files into a directory.

5) Navigate to that directory and run Blackrose.exe

6) Use the menu options in the window that opens up to do what you want.

Issue with stock partitions?

why is it when I revert back to stock partitions it shows me 145/95/186 instead of 196..... that seems weird, and i cant even use the custom option for this configuration as it tells me that its the same as stock so i think the program wants me to use the stock option which isnt correct.... :confused: Help?
[Nexus One Android Development] SeRPRo:
Ok, So I installed this HBOOT, change the partitions and set the secure password. while it was asking me the password and I entered once.. the blackrose process was close.. when I tried to restore the settings the password was not recognized. so I had to send the phone to repair with JTAG to FoneFunShop here in UK.

I just have a call from them saying that they cannot repair it because the cannot access to anything, and they were pointing to some motherboard damage? is that possible? Any ideas? is my phone just dead?

Thanks!
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
I highly doubt Blackrose caused a hardware problem. That said, if you forget your password that you set, you are stuck, and cannot do anything, aside from JTAG or motherboard replacement.

When you say they can't repair it, what do you mean? Is it a reputable shop? Are they knowledgeable and experienced?

Did they take it apart and try to flash the NAND chip directly with JTAG? Prob not. I have a feeling that they are just trying to use fastboot or something through the USB port, and that is why they are saying they cannot access anything.

Need to be extremely careful when locking out fastboot commands with a password! :eek:
[Nexus One Android Development] SeRPRo:
Hi,

I doubt any hardware problems, and yes they should have some reputation.. I found them thought the official RIFF JTAG website (Dealers).

And yes they said they connected the JTAG but they couldn't do anything. They also said the had repair many models including mine.. So I don't understand what's the problem.

Aside from that, I didn't forget the password I put in BlackRose.. the problem simply didn't recognize it (I reallly doesn't matter now..).
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
If you still remember the password and assume that it is correct. I suggest that you read the first page of "Password Protection" section on this thread for the tips. And if that still does not help, then you might want to contact Ebay for assistance :)

Radio: 5.12.00.08

I forgot what my previous HBOOT was :(

I downloaded the latest Blackrose from OP.

Ran the blackrose.exe it was not the same as i seen in youtube.

It took long time gave some errors , rebooted into HBOOT

now it says at TOP : * BlackRose - Made by Lecahel(dla5244) *

and HBOOT is 7.35.5017 ( not very sure but it was 7.35.xxxx )

so i guess Blackrose is installed.

EDIT: ok i am getting the Blackrose menu

but i am not getting the recovery mode , how can i install any ROM ? ( life sucks beng a noob ):confused:
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
while you're in the bootloader, select Recovery and it will take you to the recovery menu, then select Select zip from SD card, then choose the ROM that you want to flash
[Nexus One Android Development] firoz3321:
Of course that should be the way. but when i press RECOVERY it shows 'X' and forever stays ther. i had to remove the battery :(
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
If you changed your partition, you might want to reflash your recovery.
[Nexus One Android Development] firoz3321:
i just installed the Blackrose and did no other changes. i didnt change any partitions yet.

I will try reinstallng the Recovery , by the way i am using 'amon ra' recovery hope it has nothing to do with this.

thank you i will try it now

EDIT

can i use Clockworkmow touch or clockworkmod ? i cant find RA AMON in rom manager :(
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
when you updated to the latest blackrose, you will have to flash via fastboot the nb0 file. Check the first page for more info.

Below are the instructions, on the first OP page, that I am referring to:

*.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] firoz3321:
It says if i use the INSTALLER i dont need to do that , am i wrong :confused:

can i use Clockworkmow touch or clockworkmod ? i cant find RA AMON in rom manager
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
While in the ROM manager, select Flash Alternate Recovery and it will flash Amon_RA v2.21
[Nexus One Android Development] firoz3321:
Thats exactly how i remember i did last time. but now its not highlighted (says NO Alternative available)

may i already have it ( but i cant get into it) will try to get Clockwrk first and then try AMON RA again may be that will help :o

EDIT: Looks like i am stuck here .

I tried to install TOUCH RECOVERY from ROM MANAGER, downloaded and then gave error.

then i tried previous version and same again gave error.

RA recovery is not highlighted to install it.

Rebooted but i cant enter the RECOVERY.

EDIT2 :Downloaded RA Recovery and installed manually from terminal

from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611829

via terminal app

Copy recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img to the root of your sdcard
start the terminal app
su(press enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img(press enter)
reboot recovery(press enter)

First it gave soe OFFSET errors and then its said its successful

Still stuck at the 'X' .

CM7 is working fine. only issue is i cant get to the RECOVERY after i installed the BLACKROSE.

Downloaad
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
Please refer to post #1025 that I posted earlier for more details. Your problem is not the recovery, but you didn't flash via fastboot the nb0 file after installed the latest Blackrose.
[Nexus One Android Development] firoz3321:
i am sorry if i am wrong but it says if i am using OLD version i have install the nbo file. i installed the 120216 version

also i cant find the 'hboot_brcust.nb0' from the downloaded zip file.

in the BINARY folder 'hboot_blackrose.nb0' and 'hboot_stock.nb0' are available :confused:

The youtube videos show very easy steps and i followed the same. May be You are right but i dont have the nbo file you are referring to either :o
[Nexus One Android Development] taodan:
What is your partition size right now? You have to use the standalone BREditor, you might want to watch the Youtube video clip for details, and resize the same size as your current patition and it will generate the hboot_brcust.nb0 file. Flash via fastboot the hboot_brcust.nb0 which the file that I am referring to.
