[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
On windows open your command prompt and navigate to wherever your fastboot executable is (you can use Windows Key + R and type in cmd and hit enter to open the command prompt).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ski_55:
I wrote in the prompt but it say that "fastboot is not eseguible"
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
I am not sure how well I understand the translation. What OS are you running? Because windows shouldn't complain about whether a file is executable or not.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
I think you have one of two possible problems: 1) you don't have the USB driver installed properly or 2) you are issuing the command in the same directory as the fastboot executable.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ski_55:
I found this guide http://chensun.net/android-development/root-nexus-one-with-android-2-3-3-gingerbread/8/ what do you think?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Your bootloader needs to be unlocked to follow that procedure...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ski_55:
But if I did a restore the original firmware that I could say to him?

From version 2.1, then I could easily get root permissions, right?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
It think there is something being lost in the translation. To sum up:

If your bootloader is LOCKED, you CANNOT root any Android build after 2.3.3. You have to downgrade to an earlier version of Android and root that. The only way to downgrade is to download a shipped image, rename it to PASSIMG.zip, place it on the root directory of your sdcard, and boot your phone into the bootloader. It will then downgrade. HOWEVER, if you get "Main version" error, then there is NO way to downgrade or root without unlocking the bootloader.

If your bootloader is UNLOCKED, it is very easy to get root on ANY version of Android just by flashing a custom recovery and then flashing ChainsDD's superuser zip.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ski_55:
If I use this guide http://www.nexus-lab.com/2010/01/23/guida-ripristino-firmware-originale-nexus-one/ and I root from android 2.1, can I do it?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
That will only work if and ONLY IF you unlock your bootloader, as I had previously said...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
It sounds like you want to roll back to 2.1 and go with an exploit based root. If that's the case, you need a 2.1 image that you can do the passimg trick with, and then you want to search for rageagainstthecage in order to root.

Sorry, but I don't have the links handy...

FWIW, unlocking the bootloader is a better way to go IMHO...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ski_55:
but for this guide the bootloader unlock is not necessary
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ski_55:
I can't do downgrade from 2.3.4 and I prefer not to lose again the guarantee
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
It is necessary. But you don't have to believe me... try it yourself and see if it works...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
You are not understanding. You only have two options : downgrade or unlock.

If you can't downgrade, you have to unlock. Period.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
I second what efrant is saying.

If you can't downgrade, your only option to root is unlocking the bootloader...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ski_55:
Ok, I have other two questions:

1. If I take again my phon to assistence (so they restore my phone with original firmware 2.1), can I root device after update to 2.3.3 with Gingerbreak?

2. If I unlock bootloadere, have I root permission? Or do I must other steps?

Thank you so much
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
1. You can root 2.3.3 with Gingerbreak, but not 2.3.4.

2. If you unlock your bootloader, the only other thing you need to do is flash ChainsDD's superuser zip and you have root.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ski_55:
1. Can I root with 2.1 immediately when return from assistence?

2. Can you post a guide for this steps?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
You can root with any 2.2 based firmware (using SuperOneClick) and 2.3.3 (possibly lower 2.3's). Anything else, and you can only do it with unlocking the bootloader.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ski_55:
Does anyone know how to do to turn nexus one s-off and so get root permission?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
To get root you need to either unlock the bootloader (fastboot oem unlock) then flash a recovery and su or downgrade and use superoneclick. On the nexus one getting S-off is nearly useless because the only thing it brings you is the ability to "fastboot oem lock" which just relocks the bootloader. But if you absolutely want to get S-off then you need to buy an xtc clip.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ski_55:
Ok, I still have some questions:

If I s-off of the nexus one is then able to relock the bootloader and then I do not lose the warranty?

How to make a "clip xtc"?

thank you very much
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -_-Help-_-:
1.Downgrade from 2.3.4 to FRG33 using PASSIMG if you get main version is older use FRG83

2.Root using Superoneclick

3.Install Rom manager and flash Clockwork recovery

4.Flash cyanogenmod 7.1

5. Android 2.3.7+root and other stuff
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
Well the warranty period is one year so it's already expired easiest way to root is to downgrade using passimg then use superoneclick to root. But if you absolutely want to get S-off then you can buy an xtc clip (just google it you'll have the info) or there is also the blackrose hack http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1270589 but I'm not sure about that I don't hear much about it so.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Blackrose does not give you S-OFF (and hence, does not give you the ability to relock the bootloader). Moreover, to use Blackrose, you either have to have 1) an unlocked bootloader, or 2) root access...

What Blackrose does do, is allow you to use fastboot commands without an unlocked bootloader...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
No but you can use it to get S-off if you want to (second post in the blackrose thread "changing security (hboot)"). Blackrose pretty much gives you the ability to do anything like flash to partitions you normally can't like splash1 or hboot (for unsigned images).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
It does not give you S-OFF. The secur_flag is still set to 1. If you want S-OFF, you need an XTC clip at this point.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
Well then why did the OP in that thread say it was a way to achieve S-off? Besides if it doesn't give you S-off it will give the same results so in the long run it doesn't really matter, right?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
The OP in that thread mentions S-OFF, but he wasn't clear, and I think some of it got lost in translation. Here is the quote where he mentions it:

Notice that it says radio is still S-ON. In plain and simple terms, if the radio is S-ON, your device is S-ON.

However, you are right, it will allow you to do many of the things that S-OFF will allow you to do, except for a few. For example, if you have S-OFF, you can issue the fastboot oem lock command, and it will re-lock your bootloader. Blackrose will not allow you to issue fastboot oem lock. You also cannot change your CID, as another example.

As well, it won't help Ski_55, as he does not have root, and his bootloader is still locked...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dude Random21:
Ok thanks for the info :D

Btw: I know it won't help him achieve root but I thought it could help him achieve S-off after he got root through other means.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Unfortunately, the only option that we N1 users have currently to get S-OFF is either an XTC clip, or JTAG...

Just Flash in recovery over eclipse 0.7

Warning, If you made any changes to SystemUI.apk this will change them back to stock. its best to flash this over stock 0.7 and then make changes to SystemUI.apk afterwards.

Credit and thanks to nitro, naven, dragonzkiller, xkape, mattfox, gaad0701 for 9.pngs and hedwig34 for the hex values.

Change log 2.0

Matched colors and changed icons for Cyan

Added Green and Red
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
lol dude your on fire!! Thank you for this!

EDIT: Works fine but the colors are off. The status bar (wifi and cell bars) are more blue and the toggles are more green..
[Motorola Droid X2] onemotodroid:
Works, colors are not matching. It does work!
[Motorola Droid X2] CptHoovsen:
So, flashed Eclipse 0.7 and then flashed this and it gave me no notification bar at all. What did i do wrong here?
[Motorola Droid X2] zetsumeikuro:
It works except it gives you back the stock signal bars and 3G signal icon. Also the color is off as well I think. Look forward to future updates! Thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
Did you flash in the same session? I did once and it broke..
[Motorola Droid X2] afm1118:
maybe try rebooting ur phone, if no change, try to flash it again. if that dont work, flash the back to stock zip. are you on a fresh install of 0.7? did you wipe completely before you flashed 0.7?

colors look different on the computer then they do on the phone, im gunna fix it tomorrow.
[Motorola Droid X2] hedwig34:
I had a modified cyan version running on eclipse 0.6 and tried it on 0.7 You can find that version in navenedrob's stock pulldown toggle thread. I had some help from mattfox over there. Anyway here's the version I'm using on 0.7 now. This one has mattfox's black toggles with some cyan added and the 0.7 default icons added in. I personally like the wifi icons in amf118's zip better. I'm keeping amf118's stock zip in case I mess things up too bad.

Hope this helps somebody.
[Motorola Droid X2] afm1118:
If you made any changes to SystemUI.apk this will change them back to stock. its best to flash this over stock 0.7 and then make changes using uot kitchen or whatever else afterwards.
[Motorola Droid X2] zetsumeikuro:
Not trying to hijack the thread. What is the hexcode for the shade of cyan nitro uses? Thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] afm1118:
i actually like yours more then mine, i suck at using gimp and paint. im kinda a noob. i was mighty proud of making this lol
[Motorola Droid X2] zetsumeikuro:
You still should be proud of making it man.
[Motorola Droid X2] afm1118:

thanks, i still am lol
[Motorola Droid X2] hedwig34:
I'm a noob too. Only had a smart phone since May (I don't count my blackberry it sucked). I was trying to change the color of your wifi images using gimp. Think I'm calling it a night. Thanks for the help.
[Motorola Droid X2] rogergreen:
Gave it a try, looks pretty good except the colors don't all match. Look to some future attempts. Thanks
[Motorola Droid X2] hedwig34:
I just took a look at some of the pngs in the eclipse .7 SystemUI.apk. I see four shades of cyan in there. Here are the hex values of those.

#329196

#76c5ca

#3fb5bc

#7ee2e7

I used the color picker tool in gimp to select the color. Then if you click on that color on the toolbar it brings up a custom color box and displays the hex value.
[Motorola Droid X2] afm1118:
i remade the cyan toggles and made a red and green one too. Im Posting it shortly

I've finally managed to compile smartass v2 governor (source code) and get it to work on X10.

Few members insisted if I could give it a try and I accepted the challenge :cool:

It is ment for X10 GB stock kernel 2.6.29-00054-g5f01537 preempt mod_unload ARMv7

(courtesy of iridaki)

You can configure various parameters:

bash-3.2# pwd
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/smartassV2
bash-3.2# ls
debug_mask
up_rate_us
down_rate_us
sleep_ideal_freq
sleep_wakeup_freq
awake_ideal_freq
sample_rate_jiffies
ramp_up_step
ramp_down_step
max_cpu_load
min_cpu_load

Installation guide:

Download the archive and copy the cpufreq_smartass2.ko onto the root of your /sdcard/. Then, type in the following commands:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
cd /system/lib/modules
cp /sdcard/cpufreq_smartass2.ko .
insmod cpufreq_smartass2.ko

Then you can switch to the smartassV2 governor using SetCPU.

Configuration:

SetCPU does not support configuring it - so you will have to manage from command line. Have a look at this thread to understand how to configure - it is for the old smartass module for X10 - but the configuration is done the same way.

Each parameter (and its meaning) is defined in the source code found above.

Download:

Use it at your own risk!

cpufreq_smartass2_x10.zip

Enjoy!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] DooMLoRD:
great work!

may be i should include these awesome modules in the BootManager ramdisk... will make it better :)

@viulian

u can have a look at the following zip:

module_x10_gb_gov_minmax.zip

it has code that will auto insert the module loading parts in install-recovery.sh
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] viulian:
Thanks!

I'm sorry, but I don't have an X10 anymore. I compiled the module using the old kallsyms addresses that I kept - and iridaki was kind enough to test it before I released it.

So I have nothing to test it against ..

It needs the module replaced and one line changed in the install script apparently. Maybe somebody else can do it and test it ?

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Wolfbreak:
I think he meant the normal smartass we already had but now we have v2.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Prodigy:
I think he meant that it was already included in doomkernel since 4b which was a while ago...

But this one is for stock kernel, its different.

Thanks Viulan!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] viulian:
Yes, for kernels 2.6.32 and onwards, the existing sources do compile (don't know if straight away, but its much more easier to get something to work).

Since smartassV2 was using features present in newer kernel releases, I had to rewrite some of the code so that it does the same, but using 2.6.29 features:

a) sysfs to use older api / parameters

b) add in the call to default_idle method, which older kernels do not provide by default.

c) fix a bug related to unloading / reloading the module (it did not do an unregister suspended state at the end).

Also I removed small parts related to new syncr. mechanisms added in newer kernels.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
I am using these parameters for the governor, but still it seems to stay at max frequency most of the time when the screen is on.

#smartassV2 config
echo "24000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/smartass/up_rate_us
echo "49000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/smartass/down_rate_us

echo "95" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/smartass/max_cpu_load
echo "45" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/smartass/min_cpu_load

Anyone has any suggestions to maximize the use of intermediate frequencies?

:)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] sjondenon:
Will this be implemented into future custom kernels?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] viulian:
I would not touch sample_rate_jiffies, up_rate_us and down_rate_us ...

ramp_up_step and ramp_down_step I believe is better to be 0, thus the governor will use the frequencies table (as far as I understand). These are the values I put (0) so no need to alter them.

And the last ones I would reduce max_cpu_load ... I would it 65 (otherwise phone is sluggish).

Smartass is not that good for intermediate frequencies, I found interactive to be the best at it.

#smartassV2 config
echo "245760" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/smartass/sleep_ideal_freq
echo "245760" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/smartass/sleep_wakeup_freq

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mick_novi:
Hi guys.

When flashing firmware through odin, sometimes there are 3 files to be flashed, and in certain cases only one (pda). Why is that?? I flashed 2.3.4 android using odin with only one .tar file, but now for 2.3.5 there are three files. I live in austria, and I flashed the "official" austrian version. Whats the difference between those versions? I am on austrian tmobile, and i wouldnt like to loose the network settings? Can someone clear this mystery for me, since I am really confused?

Thank you guys in advance!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nraman1:
hi,

when you have one file, it means it has all been packaged into one and you flash it under the PDA section of odin,

when you have the 3 seperate files you put them into their individual sections in odin.

- Don't select Re-Partition!

hope this helps
