If unsure of the radio, don't do anything about since messing around wrongly with the radio is the ONLY way to brick your phone and unless you're based in the States where the old radio is giving you 3g issues, there's really no need to flash it...but all personal preference really...

just go to the cyanogen's 5.4.0.1 thread and download the latest rom and google bits and flash them both and you're good to go...

you do have Amon Ra's recovery right?

Unknown Partition

I am having the same issue with "Unknown Partition" when I try to flash the recovery image. I have made sure my SD card is FAT 32. Can anyone help please?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A Murder of Crows:
I got up to date on that. I am in the states, and i am having some weird issues with my radio...mostly that if i cover the bottom of my phone, i lose signal.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattyboy247:
Are you sure you are typing the correct command?

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.6.2.img

If you miss the standalone recovery before the filename, it won't know where to flash the file to.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattyboy247:
That is an issue with most N1s, especially the first batches of them. Covering the antenna on the bottom of your phone will drop a bar or two (at least). The new radios have helped generally, but they haven't changed how sensitive the radio is to being blocked by your hand covering it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A Murder of Crows:
is there an easy way to find out if i need the radio update?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattyboy247:
Not really. If you have no issues with the one you are using now (meaning you have good 3G and don't have any issues with reception) other then when you cover it with your hand, there really isn't a reason to upgrade. I still have issues with 3G going to Edge and back so I have been upgrading the radios as they come out. I personally don't see an issue with flashing radios... you just have to be incredibly patient and make sure you don't pull out your battery because it doesn't look like its going anywhere.

So its all based on your current reception. If you have issues, flash the newer radios. If not, its not necessary at this time.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kid Poker:

this might be a dumb question just got the nexus one do i have to flash the amon recovery image or can i just unlock the bootloader and root the phone?.

now here's my big question.

I used Universal Androot for 1-click rooting and so far it's great. I hear when updates get released I might lose my root access.

Is there a simpler way then all this? I mean, the first instructions clearly say that loading the bootloader will wipe my phone clean and I don't want to lose all my data/apps ! I have customized my phone just the way I like it...

Any alternative?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmonto:
Need Help Flashing Recovery - Confused

Having issues getting the new recovery image to "take". After flashing recovery, when selecting recovery I get 3 error messages in green text stating "wrong image, image not found, etc". Then is goes back to HBOOT. When I select recovery again, it just hangs at a screen with an android and a triangle with a !. Then I have to pull the battery out

I am running unrooted version of 2.3.3 with an unlocked bootloader. I used this method in this thread to unlock the bootloader.

It looks as though the recovery image flashes via fastboot because I get "sending 'recovery' (3406KB)..... OK

writing 'recovery'....OK.

Just doesn't seem to work/take. I do have the tools mentioned in this thread and the recovery image on my C: root.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Ignore the error messages in green, they're always there (unless you are doing the passimg restore).

Once you install your recovery, type:

fastboot boot recovery.img

(where recovery.img is the same name as the recovery file you have in the tools folder)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmonto:
OK, thanks! I'll try that. To be clear, do this right after running fastboot flash recovery recovery.img? Also, did I miss this step in the tutorials? I didn't seem to see it in any of them.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Yes, straight after fastboot flash...

No, it's not a step that's listed, it's just another way to do things...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmonto:
K, thx. One last question. Is this related to me having an SPL that is S-ON? Or a non-rooted version of 2.3.3? Don't want to brick my phone, so trying to understand the root cause. Haven't seemed to see others with this issue.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
A lot of people have this issue, and it's usually operator error... xD
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmonto:
That worked! Thanks a ton! Another question, now that i have root and a custom recovery image (AmonRa), if I want to use Rom manager from the market, will it just flash the new clockwork recovery over AmonRa? Would you recommend this or stay with AmonRa and do things manually? Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Either Amon Ra 2.x or Clockwork 2.x will work, but I recommend staying away from Clockwork 3.x...

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
When people say flash from hboot most often they are referring to flashing through fastboot, which is a mode within hboot/bootloader

Anyway, do this, get amonra's recovery, you'll find in dev section, rename it recovery.img and put it on root of SD card.

Now boot into os, download a terminal, open it up and type

su

---after this say yes grant super user permission then type

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

-----if it works type

reboot recovery

If this doesn't work you may need to installed su, busubox, and flash_image binary
