[Nexus One Android Development] Bexton:
As Modaco's boot image "Superboot (for Nexus One)" got no more updates after Android build version GRI40 and we're on GRK39F for some time now; and even though the Superboot GRI40 version gave you root as desired (https://bexton.net/2011/09/24/root-access-for-nexus-one-on-android-2-3-6-grk39f-superboot/), that Superboot version also caused some problems with wifi connection and had an outdated su binary, as well as an outdated Superuser.apk.

To cut a long story short, i did it on my own: Bexboot. A boot image - especially for Android GRK39F on passion devices. I compiled it (based on a guide by Modaco himself) from the stock GRK39F source of my own Nexus One. Also it includes the lates Superuser.apk (v3.0.5) and the latest su binary (v3.0).

Here you go: https://bexton.net/2011/10/12/bexboot-root-nexus-one-passion-grk39f/

Any feedback highly appreciated. :)

[UPDATE#1 08.11.2011]:

Please don't use v1 (link above) any longer. Instead use the Bexboot v2.0 (link below). It was rebuilt from a completely clean stock rom, what solves the compatibilty issues, some reported for v1. (Also it includes the latest Superuser.apk (3.0.6), as well as the latest su binary (3.0.3).)

[UPDATE#2 11.12.2011]:

As i forgot to pay the invoice for the server where my blog is running on, it is offline since yesterday. :/ Anyway, i uploaded a copy of the zip archive containing all files you need to root your device to http://www.nahklick.de/user/stephan/bexboot.v2.GRK39F_OTA.zip. To get the instructions, follow this link http://www.google.com/search?q="bexboot"+version+2 and use the Google cache to view the original site. Thx

I've tried that, it does not work.

The fastboot utility says:

downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY

booting... OKAY

Then the phone reboots still not rooted.
[Nexus One Android Development] Bexton:
Hi zc2,

sorry for the long response time, i was on a business trip and didn't had the time to check in. I received a bunch of similar issue reports so i did a factory reset and rebuilt the bootloader from a completely clean stock rom.

First comments confirm that it now also works for persons, that had the same issue like you with v1. So if you're still interested in it, check out the updated release version: https://bexton.net/2011/11/07/bexboot-for-passion-version-2-root-for-nexus-one-with-android-grk39f/

V2 Failed for me

Hi there. Thanks for your efforts. I have build GRK39F and ran your version 2 on Windows 7 (64 bit).

During step 6 of your procedure, the write proceudre failed with this error:

FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

Any ideas? Diagnostic questions for me?
[Nexus One Android Development] Bexton:
Have you seen this comment / my answer: https://bexton.net/2011/11/07/bexbo...or-nexus-one-with-android-grk39f/#comment-179 ?

It is much likely due to an issue with your hboot version. Your provider probably pushed a locked SPL in an update that renders fastboot unusable. Maybe the link in my comment can help!? Let me know..

Greetz
[Nexus One Android Development] goattee:
Thanks for such a fast reply. I bought the phone in Bangkok. It was a "grey market" item from the Hong Kong market. I am not sure whether my Thai carrier even bothers with such things.

I looked at the link but unfortunately for me, I have only the most primitive understanding of how to deal with the bootloader, etc. So I can't even grasp what aspects of that thread apply to me. I really need step-by-step instructions. So unless I can find someone with more mastery, I guess I will only dream of Cyanogen Mod on my phone.
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
You will get that error if you are trying to use fastboot commands without first having unlocked your bootloader.

That error has nothing to do with the HBOOT version on Nexus One's. You cannot "push" a locked SPL to an N1 if you've already unlocked your bootloader. The bootloader unlock flag is set in the radio NV memory, so once you have unlocked the bootloader, you cannot relock it (unless you have S-OFF), even if you reflash another stock hboot.
[Nexus One Android Development] goattee:
I realize you're trying to clarify. But I don't understand any of the terminology. The only thing I am capable of is following a prescribed procedure. I thought this procedure was going to unlock and root the phone. I guess I was wrong.

I don't have the diagnostic skills to change direction if things don't go in a predictable fashion-- I've only used stock devices up until now and this was my first attempt. I guess the best I can hope for is to make contact with someone more experienced when I am next in the US and have that person assist me. It makes it more difficult because most of what I am finding online is either old (pre-Gingerbread) or it assumes the user has hacked their Nexus One in the past and just needs to bring it up to date.

My goal is to get past the memory problems I am having by installing a custom ROM with a minimal set of apps in phone memory-- and more customizability.
[Nexus One Android Development] davelis828:
nice man! It worked on the first go! Top job!

I have one question though! Is it safe to flash Clockword Mod recovery and then flash custom ROMs, or will it end in not finding the recovery image as is the case with other efforts to root 2.3.6?

Thanks!
[Nexus One Android Development] Bexton:

Source code availability?

Hi Bexton,

first of all, thanks for your work!

Next, I'd like to replace the Superuser app by Koush' one (https://github.com/koush/Superuser/).

Would it be possible to get the source code of bexboot?

None is available at http://code.google.com/p/bexboot/source/checkout...

Just installed this and, after some frustrated attempts to backup and restore SMS messages, I finally got it to work.

Here's the key... backing-up PIM data does NOT backup SMS messages on the HD2. You MUST select the option to backup e-mails when running a custom backup if you want your SMS messages backed-up!

Okay I just phoned Three, The network I am on to get the phone unlocked to any network and they said they will mail me a key to unlock on startup. Once this is done will this give me access to the bootloader?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:
No, you need to unlock the bootloader. Actually, unlocking the bootloader Sim unlocks the phone too.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeanBoro:
Nooo. Three are sending me a code which i type in and it unlocks the phone to any network ( simcard ).

SOOO will that make it so I can access the fastboot?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatsupnow:
NO it wont that code will only sim unlock it you have to actually UNLOCK the bootloader only then will you be able to use fastboot! Search the forum and read you will find it to be true
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeanBoro:
Okay thank you very much :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:
That doesn't void what I say. Sim-unlocking with your code doesn't unlock the bootloader, but unlocking the bootloader (and accessing fastboot) does sim-unlock your phone.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dousan:
Afaik won't he still be locked out of fastboot even if he unlocks his simcard? Haven't most/all of the carrier purchaced phones got the fastboot locked down? Isn't that the case and he'll need to contact @Alejandrissimo about this and spend a little cash on unlocking it?

Regards Dousan...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashanrath:
Possibly not, if he's referring to Three in Australia. I can't speak Three themselves, but Aussie carriers (Telstra here) seem to be leaving Fastboot enabled.

I am using Three UK. When I try to access fastboot via connceting the usb while holding search button, my phone just turns on as normal.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dousan:
Yeah 3 has locked you out of fastboot and sim-unlocking won't do the trick. You'll need to pm @Aljandrissimo about getting your phone's BL unlocked. Afaik it's worth the little cash you'll pay for it (about 20$).

T-alarm is the alarm clock program with fast and handy interface.

The main feature of the program is that you can change once the time of next alarm. The T-Alarm restores the previous schedule after it'll wake you up with changed schedule. So, you don't need to restore your changes manual after each time you change the schedule.

The other feature is that you need few key presses to change the alarm. If you frequently change the alarm time for tomorrow you can do it with a few key presses and immediately see the next alarm time.

You can set the music file from the card for the alarm. You can press a music file name during file selection to listen it.

for browser:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.FedoroffSoft.TAlarm

for device

market://details?id=com.FedoroffSoft.TAlarm

Feature list:

- Next alarm time at the lock screen. System alarm icon at the notification bar

- Alarm can be once changed or cancelled. The program restore the base schedule after alarm triggering

- It is easy to quick change the next alarm time

- Select sound file from sd-card to use as ring-tone

- Notification in the notification bar with snooze indicator

Expected features:

- Various settings: default signal profile, Hide/show icons at the notificatonn bar

- selecting ring-tone from the standard ring-tone list

- selection melody from the standard media catalog

- setting the minimal time of the sound. A short sound will be looped till the minimal time

- other features
[Android Apps and Games] BETEP.OK:
I have posted the T-Alarm on the Android Market.

You can find it by the "T-Alarm" name
[Android Apps and Games] claus1953:
I will try it out right away. I would suggest that you add an option to show an alarm notification in the notification bar when there is an alarm set up, and from this notification the app should be started.
[Android Apps and Games] BETEP.OK:
Sure, I'll add the status in to the notification bar.

I've filled the feature list more exactly in the first post. Your suggestion is in it.

Now I'm concentrating on the design, but the other features will be definitely implemented.
[Android Apps and Games] BETEP.OK:
I've added the notification bar icon.

New version is available on the Market and in this forum.

You was right, this is a very useful feature. Now it is easy to check the T-Alarm is working and time of a next alarm.
[Android Apps and Games] claus1953:
Great i just upgraded. Now one more question, would it be possible that the alarm notification is accepted and recognized as normal alarm, so it can be shown in widgets that show the next alarm?
[Android Apps and Games] jiyucn:
I will try it. Thanks for providing. :)
[Android Apps and Games] BETEP.OK:
I'm sure it is possible because of other alarm programs can do it.

I have it in mind to make but I thought to do it in future.

But now I look how to do it and if it is simple like the notofication bar I'll make it in some of a near version.
[Android Apps and Games] claus1953:
Yes it is possible as i saw it in another alarm clock app that is why i am asking for it. With this it will be my choice of alarm app
[Android Apps and Games] BETEP.OK:
I found that adding a next alarm time to the lock screen is easy to do and done it last weekend.

Verson 1.2.2 shows next alarm time at the lock screen.

I had also added the system alarm icon to the notification bar. I plan to make an option to hide alarm icon form the notification bar. Two alarm icons might be too many for the notification bar
[Android Apps and Games] BETEP.OK:
I've issued a new version of the T-Alarm.

There was a bug that the lick screen time some time disappeared on my Samsung Galaxy S.

I keep working on design. It is the most required feature now
[Android Apps and Games] claus1953:
Looking and working very good for me. Thanks and keep up the good work. This is currently my first choice alarm clock.
[Android Apps and Games] BETEP.OK:
Today I've published new version of my application.

T-Alarm 2.0 have a nice design.

I also made much code refactoring inside the program's code, hence it works a bit faster.

Now I plan to add more little features.

Looks like you already have done some research on this. But based on what you want....meaning in case of an accidental drop I think out of the ones you posted, the trident one is the one I think would be the best overall case. I personally use the seidio active case with kickstand with holster and it looks great and I feel safe in not having any exposed corners to chip or bump into.

I LOVE this case. The only thing that bugs me is that oils from hands stays on the case, and feels a little disgusting. The other bad thing is that the opening for the micro-USB port is a little smaller than it should be.

Other than that, it's an amazing case. Very protective, sleek, doesn't collect dust, and looks good!
