I have currently fund out how to root WITHOUT increasing binary flash counter :eek: I write a app, that app does this:

Use zergRush exploit, obtain root rights, let choose the user for a kernel which to flash. Once you have flashed so a kernel, you can flash ALL via CWM without increasing counter :D

Hi netchip,

your kernel may affect the Mobile Wifi Hotspot. I can not successfully start tethering "error".

A user in another forum says it works fine with stock kernel. Have you any idea what the reason could be?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] geek78:
So you have again the note bootloader?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bodivas:
Yes :p however, just flash only Sbl.bin (bootloader) from Note..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] walda:
what i know:

sbl is the secondary bootloader if you destroy the main one. so its hard to brick the Samsung devices. you dont need him until you brick the main.

but if you brick the main one, you may have the wrong second one.

so, bad idea what you did...

Trouble getting Superuser working - FIXED

CWM worked great, but I had some trouble getting su to work on my "SIM free" GT-N7000.

ADB shell has su OK, but apps like Titanium Backup and Terminal Emulator would just say "permission denied" and I never saw a Superuser prompt.

I noticed that after I flashed Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip, the files were NOT copied into /system (though no errors were reported), so I manually copied them in adb shell and set permissions to 06755. But still it didn't work.

I had to wipe cache and Dalvik cache, then everything worked :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] pvlagsma:
WiFi tethering is not working.

It turns on OK. Then the icon in the notification bar disappears.

Other devices (Galaxy Tab 10.1) can connect to the Note's AndroidHotspotnnnn OK.

However there is NO internet connection

- no orange download arrow in the 3G icon on the Note.

nandroid restore did not resolve issue.

CWM v5.0.2.7 is still the recovery.

The attached logcat shows disabling wifi, and enabling hotspot.

All looks OK until:

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dousan:
You can't install roms when only rooted, you'll also need to unlock your bootloader to do that.

That's the way android works afaik (it might just be how the carrier works with android/how they set it up?) , root only gives you some priveliges (system) and not in the boot partition (kernel/splashscreen etc.)

Regards Dousan...
[Nexus One General] Airbag888:
Just a heads up (I nearly missed it),

After rooting my Galaxy S2 with Doomlord's Rooting Toolkit I pulled out my N1 to see if it would work and it did! Within 30secs I was fully rooted.

My N1 was running 2.3.6 stock till now and I didn't want to wipe to be able to root and this is the way.

I know I had been waiting a long time for this so maybe it'll be useful to others.

Doomlord's Rooting Toolkit: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1319653

Zergrush Exploit: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1296916

Update: Note that several manufacturers have patched their firmware to make this exploit fail. I don't know if this still works for the N1 though I believe it should considering I haven't seen an update come out for it (could've missed it) So if it fails for you and you got a very recent firmware could be google fixed it.
[Nexus One General] DarsVaeda:
Could you give a little more detailed instruction how to do it?
[Nexus One General] Airbag888:
Instructions are in the first link.

The gist of it is

1. You need to have your phone's drivers installed for adb to work

2. set to usb debugging

3. connect usb cable

4. run the bat file

5. press space to start the process

6 30secs later (for me) it rebooted and I was rooted.
[Nexus One General] cpm:
So to confirm, this I's a working Gingerbread 2.3.4 / 2.3.6 Root exploit without unlocking the bootloader?

Oh man, my Nexus is just begging to be reunited with CyanogenMod!
[Nexus One General] DarsVaeda:
Oh okay, I thought you have to do something special as you provided two links.

I just did those steps and it worked flawless.

Thanks!
[Nexus One General] Airbag888:
@CPM

Yes it roots your phone without unlocking the Bootloader even on 2.3.6 (as is my case)

@DarsVaeda

Sorry for the confusion I was just trying to provide references and credits where due.
[Nexus One General] j00m:
Works great! Thanks.

last exploit here: http://cloud.github.com/downloads/revolutionary/zergRush/zergRush.zip

Step by step:

empty /data/local/tmp/

C:\adb pust zergRush /data/loca/tmp

adb chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/zergRush

wait...

C:\adb remount

adb push su /system/bin

adb push su /system/xbin

adb push Superuser.apk /system/app

adb chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

adb chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su

reboot phone

You can su :D

Try: Install connectbot (or any Terminal) from Google Market connect local, type su, allow. Done.

Now remote bloatware: facebook, Amazone, twitter :))
[Nexus One General] cpm:
Cheers Airbag888 for bringing this exploit to our attention (and of course everyone else involved in finding the exploit and scripting it)

Works like a charm. I couldn't revert back to the older 2.3.3 Gingerbread after HTC fixed my power button. Suffered the "Main version is older" error downgrading and nothing else worked.

My Nexus is now safely reunited with CyanogenMod and I'm mighty happy :)
[Nexus One General] adamspir:
I'm new to this so I have a question!

If I root my phone using this method will i then be able to use rom manager to install cyanogen rom or do I have to do anything extra?
[Nexus One General] Airbag888:
If you root via any method (this one included)

you can install a custom recovery of any kind (including clockwork which comes with Rom Manager)

you can install compatible Roms via Rom manager as well.

It should not void your warranty either since you're not unlocking your bootloader.

However make sure to do a backup before you install a new ROM and also to wipe your data/cache via recovery when you install another ROM
[Nexus One General] adamspir:
Thanks! :-)
[Nexus One General] Airbag888:
I'm not an expert, merely a messenger. But it appears adb isn't starting for you somehow.

I'd look into that.

Try launching it manually and trying to get a list of connected devices. (should give one named HTC#########)

Also if you have unlocked your bootloader then there are other methods to try.
[Nexus One General] Ad3lphi:
Thanks Airbag888!

For future fellow rooters in need, here is what I did :

Tried to run a sample adb command from the command line, got the dreaded "ADB server didn't ACK"

Opened the Task Manager, noticed two instances of adb running, killed them both

Ran adb devices once again, and TADAA! it worked!

Mad with hope, launched DooMLoRD's script, and so far, it's running. Right now, I've reached the "executing zergRush" stage.

It's been running for a few minutes with no error message so far... Murphy's Law dictates that the process surely is frozen :D

Edit:

It has indeed frozen (or silently crashed) at "executing zergRush". Killed the adb process again, started the script again. But we're making progresses, I'm now stuck at

...
[+] Rush did it ! It's a GG, man !
[+] Killing ADB and restarting as root... enjoy!
--- WAITING FOR DEVICE TO RECONNECT
if it gets stuck over here for a long time then try:
disconnect usb cable and reconnect it

[Nexus One General] efrant:
If your bootloader is unlocked, why are you even bothering with this. Just start up your phone in fastboot mode, connect to your computer, and flash a custom recovery (i.e., fastboot flash recovery <NameOfYourRecoveryHere.img>, then boot into your custom, and flash ChainsDD's superuser zip. Done.

If your bootloader is unlocked, you never have to worry about root, because you can root at any time...
[Nexus One General] Ad3lphi:
Because I feel like keeping the stock ROM until the first ICS-based custom ROMS are out. I just want root access to get the hang of tinkering with my N1 and trashing some bloatware apps.
[Nexus One General] efrant:
What does that have to do with anything? Did you read the rest of my post? What I gave you was the way to root if your bootloader is unlocked. I never mentioned anything about switching ROMS...

Much simpler. No change to your stock ROM at all.
[Nexus One General] Warmo161:
Finally a exploit that doesnt involve formatting my phone :)

Now, I am planning to run this exploit when I get home tonight

My phone at the moment is 2.3.4 and I would guess this exploit would work for it?

And I also guess you can't install clockworkmod without unlocking your bootloader?
[Nexus One General] cpm:
I successfully rooted 2.3.4 using the exploit. Then installed RA Amon recovery rather than ClockworkMod (personal choice). Then onto CyanogenMod 7.1 and S2E for loading my apps onto SD Card. All worked perfectly fine too.
[Nexus One General] Airbag888:
You don't need to unlock the bootloader to install recovery or any different rom or run nandroid backup etc
[Nexus One General] efrant:
Yes it works on 2.3.4, and yes, you CAN install a custom recovery with a locked bootloader.
[Nexus One General] Warmo161:
Really? So you would install clockworkmod through rom manager?

Right then... :cool:
[Nexus One General] efrant:
You can use ROM Manager, or you can do it manually by using the flash_image utility. Instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Nexus_One...ocked_bootloader_-_flash_image_using_Terminal
[Nexus One General] Warmo161:
And because you are not unlocking the bootloader, the device keeps the warranty?
[Nexus One General] efrant:
Well, rooting would technically void the warranty. But since you can remove all trace of you rooting the device, no one would know, and your warranty would still be valid.

If you unlock your bootloader, your warranty would be void, as there is no way to relock it (unless you have S-OFF).

HAVING SAID ALL THAT, from all the posters comments that I've read on this forum and on others, HTC has not refused warranty service, even with an UNLOCKED bootloader...
[Nexus One General] cpm:
As efrant said above, most definitely Yes, and this from personal experience!

I had rooted my Nexus previously with locked bootloader. Then a few months ago my Nexus suffered a broken power button. I reflashed a stock ROM and recovery and had the repair done under warranty. The only downside was that HTC flashed the phone to latest 2.3.4 and I couldn't revert to an earlier version to root it. Until now that is :)

So now I'm rooted and have no worries with my remaining warranty as the boatloader is still locked.

Hi,I am a new joinee here. Being frustrated with my low memory problem I'm also trying to root my Nexus One running 2.3.6. Here is some questions that I have:

I rooted my N1 with the same tool. It's fast and effective. The only different thing is that I did it after just flashed Blackrose.

Anyway, the only thing with which I concerned is the lock icon. I intended to starting flashing custom ROM because Google just ignores the huge bugs in stock 2.3.6, pinch zoom and wifi connection issue.

Thanx a ton. Rooted my nexy 2.3.3 in less than a min :thumbup:
[Nexus One General] krazichinaman:
Totally new to rooting any device but I've followed the instructions to a T.

Phone is a 100% stock Tmobile USA nexus one running 2.3.6 build GRK39F.

I've downloaded Android SDK and updated the phone driver.

Under: Control Panel = > Device Manager=> Android Phone => It shows Android Composite ADB Interface.

I am assuming that I installed the USB drivers correctly and my computer recognizes my phone?

I follow the instructions on East Rooting Toolkit v3.0 to a T but I know I must be missing a real obvious face palm step. The program is extracted to my desktop.

When I follow the instructions and hit the space bar, it shows

"Waiting for device"

Then a whole ton of:

"The system cannot find the path specified."

Then the ALL DONE!!! Press any key to continue.

What obvious step am I missing here as I know this should work for my device ?

Forgot to add I don't get message on step 6 from the instructions. When I plug in my phone I don't get the "PC Companion Software" prompt on device. Unless this is referring to the "Turn on USB storage" message.
[Nexus One General] bassmadrigal:
No clue for sure on this, but are you running the program with administrator priveledges? (Right click on the icon and select "Run as administrator")
[Nexus One General] krazichinaman:
Every time I plug in my phone it shows it as a removable G drive. Guessing my computer recognizes my phone as just a memory drive and not a phone?

---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 AM ----------

Just tried this with the same results. Appreciate the suggestion !
[Nexus One General] bassmadrigal:
Well, according to your last post, since it shows up as a valid adb device, then your computer should recognize it as both a memory drive and an adb composite device.

What happens if you type in adb devices in the command prompt? (you either need to be in the same directory as adb or have that directory included in your PATH)
[Nexus One General] krazichinaman:
When I type in adb devices I get the same message as before

'adb' is not recognizes as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

I found this video and followed the same steps but was unable to find the device via the command prompt, but it shows under my device manager.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bg-cGTZE2XI&feature=related
[Nexus One General] bassmadrigal:
You need to be in the same directory as the adb file to verify it is working. This will be somewhere under the Android SDK folder (I think platform\tools).

You could also do a search for adb.exe if you can't find it.
[Nexus One General] krazichinaman:
Had some luck. I am now able to get

C:\android\platform-tools>adb devices

List of devices attached

HTXXXXXXXXXXXXXX device

But when I run the script it still says the same thing. The actual runme file is also in the same folder C:\android\platform-tools

When I run in command prompt or click on the file it gives the same message

"The system cannot find the patch specified."
[Nexus One General] dionix05:
Worked like a charm on a stock 2.3.6 Nexus One. Cheers!
[Nexus One General] bassmadrigal:
You need to have all included files in the same folder. Otherwise the script won't know where to find the patches.
[Nexus One General] krazichinaman:
This whole time I made the BIGGEST FACEPALM mistake possible. Thanks to your last post I figured it out and was rooted within a minute.
