Either double tap the home button on your main homescreen or "pinch to zoom" on any homescreen.

It'll give you the overview of all your homescreens, then you can just tap on whichever home screen you want to go to.

When my phone is in the bootloader and I type 'fastboot devices', it says (blank) instead.

When I restart the device into the bootloader while plugged into my pc the FASTBOOT line changes to FASTBOOT USB. Then I pressed the power button into another screen and theres some dialog that says sd loading passdiag.zip... no image. it does it 4 times really quickly :\ what do i do now

restart

bootloader

fastboot

nothing

ahhhh it seems to be working now!

Hi -

I'm stuck on step III-6. I am on Windows 7 64-bit. I installed the june fabrics usb drivers but still no luck. When my phone is in the bootloader and I type 'fastboot devices', it says ???????????? fastboot instead.

Please help! Thx
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
What happened when you were in Android and did "adb devices"?
[Nexus One Android Development] kristy74134:
I got it to work!!!! On the step below, for some reason it didn't like me pressing the power button to go into Fastboot (????)

2. FASTBOOT should be highlighted. Press the Power Button to go into Fastboot.

I repeated the step without pressing the power button and then everything else worked like a charm.

Thank you so much for these instructions. Now it's time to play!

thank you thank you!!! :-)

[Nexus One Android Development] mythamp:
Thanks PAUL! I am on Kings Desire Rom, you are awesome.

But I would also want to say that I faced the same problem as kristy, it seems when we press the trackball and power, it directly moves to fastboot :S maybe we were holding on to it for too long. In any case, You are the BEST mate.
[Nexus One Android Development] Airbag888:
just to say that for sms backup/restore I use SMS Backup & Restore (duh) by Ritesh Sahu. It does a backup to the sd card and should restore too (but I haven't tested it)

There's another app that backs up to your gmail a/c but doesn't seem to have a restore function.

Great guide, when I get bored of my new nexus (5days old) I may venture into rooting it. Till then I'll wait patiently for a fully functional modaco desire -> nexus rom :)

I just wanted to say thanks for this easy guide!

I was on iPhone 3GS for almost a year now but (temporary?) back to the greatest phone forum in the world with my nexus (my first android) now with sense that i got yesterday after my iPhone was forced to upgrade the basebands.

I just wanted to share a experience when i followed the guide. The last step got me stuck on a never ending HTC boot loop. Tried it a couple of times with the same result. Emptied the cashes again and got it to boot up properly. So if anyone is stuck with the same thing that is a good try.

Cheers

Good tutorial.

I have some questions:

1. Indicator signal varies, sometimes showing no signal, but can make calls. The network is Vodafone RO. The phone is set to GSM only.

2. Can I return to the original software? How?

Thanks.
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
Thanks for the feedback all!

That is very weird about the power button. I'll add that in as a possibility.

@sb1972

1. Wait, what's the question? :D

2. Just restore the backup you made. Or download the zip here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=614850 (wipe, then flash the zip)

Sync with Picasa missing after this process

Hi all,

I did the entire process and it worked GREAT! Thanks for the detailed guide. The only thing that i can't find out how to restore from the original shipping ROM is the automatically sync with Picasa Web Albums which was one of the options in my defined GMAIL account. Does anyone knows how to restore that option? I see instead FLIKR sync instead...

Thanks,

Lior
[Nexus One Android Development] miketlo:
Well it seems like it was a dumb windows problem :\ at first adb showed that it connected to the device. Then when I did fastboot devices it didn't show anything, so I found one of those driver diagnostics programs and deleted the N1 drivers and restarted. It failed again. But then I realized when I plugged in the device after the first restart (after checking adb) windows would try to reinstall a driver and it would pick the wrong one. So I just redirected to the sdk and then fastboot found it :)
[Nexus One Android Development] techlogik:
EDIT...sorry for the post, guess I missed that part on the first page by TS!!! Duh...yeah, Paul at Modaco apparently has been doing some file serving hosting changes, the files over there on the links are mostly hosed up...somebody in the thread posted a link to his...disregard below now! My bad!

I'm sure this has been brought up. But, have a rooted N1.

OEM Unlocked.

Then Superboot.

Put the .zip on the sdcard root. Card is fat32 formatted.

Boot into recovery, wipe device/cache.

Select Flash from SD...then I get an error:

"E:\Can't open /sdcard/blahblah.zip

bad"

Installation aborted.

Like it can't access the storage card or something, or the .zip is bad?

Ok..so what am I doing wrong here?
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
@techlogik

The file is probably corrupt. Check out the "Install ROM" section for details.
[Nexus One Android Development] intruderbr:
error "E:\Can't open /sdcard/[blah].zip (bad)"

Here I can find the good ROM mirror ?
[Nexus One Android Development] techlogik:
Ok, that photo is funny as sh&t on the first page now!

Just my two cents:

1) Instead of the Nexus addon, nothing wrong with that, just tell them "Superboot" with a link. That is the easiest/fastest way for sure to root the phone now, so easy.

2) Maybe tell people before flashing to Wipe everything (except the SD Card), many recommend that. You have wipe two things, I see many other cookers say to do all the wipe commands but SD card. But, hey, that is a personal thing.

Otherwise, spot on tutorial n00b guide!!! Nice work!

Thanks for the contribution and your efforts.
[Nexus One Android Development] techlogik:
Yeah, thanks...I edited my post. Paul at Modaco was apparently doing some changes to his file server hosting and most of the links, actually all are hosed up and files corrupts.

Anyway, another user posted a link to the desire port, plus other Roms worked fine for me. Should have read that first part closer by TS, he explains the possible problem, just couldn't confirm it over at Modaco for a day...

Thanks!
[Nexus One Android Development] socal_doc:
Thanks for the great tutorial. I had to use superboot to get it to work. I installed the cyanogen mod. I had a problem that the phone was getting stuck at the start screen. I figured out the ROM I downloaded was corrupt. I downloaded it from a mirror site and it worked great. All I have to say is Cyanogen makes your phone "fly". I love it.

Bricked phone update

HTC UK agreed to collect the phone, picked up by Courier on 29 April.

Repair progress can be tracked online.

Great work Paul. Hats of to HTC.
[Nexus One Android Development] joshlusignan:
Awesome Guide!

Just want to say thanks for the guide. I came from the Telus Hero...what a mess that was... couple hours of gold card method, 2 SD cards, a down grade, blah blah blah.

This was nice and smooth. Got my Nexus at 5pm and was loading ROMs by 6pm (and I ate dinner in between!)

Going from a Hero running the fastest and latest 2.1 ROM does not even come close to the speed and snappiness of the Nexus, I don't care what anyone else says. This phone is completely worth the 570 bucks I paid. :D

I'm off to flash another ROM...gotta get my daily fix!

Thanks!!

Hi, after I had massive trouble downloading a non corrupted image I finnaly got it running and I like what I see. Is it normal that the buttons on the N1 are no longet lit?

thx in advance
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
The buttons are a little weird. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.

What operating system are you on? Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Mac?

Did you run the sdk setup and download the drivers?
[Nexus One Android Development] tlam93:
Oh i guess i messed up on the downloading part because it works now. thx though
[Nexus One Android Development] blitz911:
thanks for this guide. I was on the fence about doing this, but i was really bored today and figured what have i got to lose...looks hard and intimidating at first but it really is straightforward and pretty simple to use...worked like a champ for...again, much mahalos!:D
[Nexus One Android Development] DocSnyd3r:
OMG I found the add calendar option. :D

However 5 questions remain:

- To get everything fully working we need to wait for HTC to publish the sources?

- Do we get a 2.2 upgrade when android itself is upgraded?

- I have backed up my apps and installed them again but they are not in the stores download tab, will I receive updates for them or do I have to manually download them through the store again?

- Do I have to wipe before I use Nand backup?

- Can I upgrade without wiping?
[Nexus One Android Development] pnayak77:
Almost been running this 24 hours now.

Very happy. Seems faster than stock Nexus ROM and battery life appears to be improves - no formal tests, just observations.

A couple of questions:

1. Whats the best way of backing up when moving from ROM to ROM?

I just need a handful of apps to be installed and also a backup of text messages to be restored.

2. RSS Reader appears in applications, how can I launch this app? Is it the back end for the HTC News widget? Can it be configured to pickup an entire Google reader set of feeds?

3. Is there a way of installed in the standard Google Car Navigation app without cooking a new ROM?

4. What does a Nandroid backup contain? Radio, Kernel, User data (apps/contacts/messages)?

Cheers
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
A) Correct. They have 60 days from the HTC Desire's release date to do it until it becomes illegal under the Linux open source agreement.

B) With a custom ROM, you won't get the over the air update. But we will get the update weeks before un-rooted people do :) The Desire ROM will have to be re-written with 2.2 baked in.

C) It might take a while to update with Google's servers.

D) No! Other way around; always backup BEFORE wiping. Otherwise the backup would be blank (default Desire configuration).

E) To another version of Sense, yes. To a different ROM, you have to wipe.

1. TitaniumBackup. Not sure about SMS backup.

2. Yes, it's the widget. No Google Reader integration for it, but you can add any feed, even news.google.com custom searches.

3. You can probably cook the rom, unzip, take out the apk file and install it on your phone. Or ask/search android.modaco.com and see if anyone has uploaded that one file.

4. User data only. Apps, app data, contacs, messages, etc. Everything that is user-accessible within Android itself. Good thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=459830

Need some quick help. I flashed the recovery IMG(recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0-cyan.img), it said it wrote OK, then when i turned off the phone and turned it back on with (volume down/power) it went to the normal white fastboot/etc, screen. I selected recovery, and now am stuck at the triangle/android. Is it because i used the Cyan recover image?

Any help is much appreciated.
[Nexus One Android Development] East_Coast:
I went back and re flashed the regular(non cyan) version of the recovery img, and it worked.

What happens when you do 'fastboot devices'?

Try re-downloading the recovery or perhaps even an older version like 1.6.2.

[Nexus One Android Development] wheelrandolph:
Can date be displayed differently? (mm/dd/yyyy)

Hi,

This was a great tutorial (Guide) on a quite complicated procedure. Thanks for the great work. I have been trying to unlock my bootloader and root my N1 for about 2 weeks now with different sets of instructions from the web. It took me a few tries (removing battery a few times) but the guide told me what to do and it WORKED!!

As the title says, the lock screen displays the date with Day first; I initially thought it was off by 7 months but realized it is the other format (dd/mm/yyyy). It is also like this in Calender. Anyone know how to change this?

Thanks,

Randy:)
[Nexus One Android Development] jonze5:
this is very helpful..

thanks a lot..!
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
@javierga As far as I know, I don't think you can reset your phone number unless you call T-Mobile/AT&T.

@vikramdhani The majority of the process should be the same on a Mac (a few people in this thread have done it), aside from installing the SDK and how to launch a terminal window (might have to Google how if you've unsure). Unfortunately I don't have access to a Mac, so I can't give much assistance. But hopefully this will help: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html It looks very similar to the Windows version.

@wheelrandolph Mine says "Wed, May 12, 2010". Is yours different? You can change it by going to Settings -> Date & Time

@jonze5 Thanks! :)

Hi there-

First of all, GREAT guide. I had my totally stock N1 to the Sense UI ROM in about 30 minutes. I love how this ROM works, except the drain it puts on my battery from using it so much :D

Two issues I am having though (I searched to no avail):

1 - I cannot seem to set Google Voice as my default voicemail handler...I try changing it in the system settings and it just says I need to contact my service provider.

2 - Sometimes, if I get an SMS really fast after I send one, it appears ABOVE my sent one, as if it was sent before, when I know that is not the case.

Any ideas? Thanks again for all your hard work OP.

1. It looks like there's some issue with using GV and Desire. Here's the relevant thread:

I'm using the older version linked in there and it works for caller ID for calling out.

[Nexus One Android Development] baimo:
Awesome, but!

Paul, Thanks for the guide. The instructions and the modaco rom with sense ui are awesome. But I really need BT. I am in the car for work and just cant get by wiithout it. I also need exchange(including calendar) support.

I originally ran the stock nexus one with Touchdown, but was not satisfied.

Would you suggest a rom for the interim that has BT and exchange support until you get BT working on this one.

Thanks in advance for any help
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
@javierga Sense supposedly needs more memory. Don't worry about free memory though. It's not a problem at all. Check out this thread for more info! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=678205

@baimo I'm not the Paul from Modaco btw. Wish I was! :cool: If you need BT, your only option is to use non-desire roms like Cyanogen. If you don't like Touchdown, not much I can say unfortunately. I've heard of another Exchange app but forgot the name. Ask in the apps section for alternative exchange apps.

Thanks for the answer anyway. I reluctantly installed cyanogen and touchdown and am modifying to the best of my ability. Its pretty good but I really like the sensui much better. As soon as they find a fix for the BT, I will be back.

I have read in many places that Desire kernel sources have been released by HTC, but I can't se them listed in http://developer.htc.com

Have they removed them?

I have found the direct link here though:

http://member.america.htc.com/download/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/bravo_54b7033a.tar.gz

Maybe it is because I'm in Europe, and this link is just for american ips?

This should really help a lot with existing rom issues.

Very nice tutorial anyway, thanks for the great work!

That site seems to be very odd.

When it first came out, only Europe could see it and I couldn't. Two days ago, finally I could see it, at work and at home. Now I just went to the site and I can't see the Desire ROM but it works at home.

Radio

Hi paul and all the community, sorry about the n00b question, but I did all the steps in the howto and I don't recall encountering radio.

Is it the answer to my bluetooth pleas? What is the use of radio?

BTW, if I want to reinstall to get bluetooth, is it enough to do a nand back up and re-flash it (sounds like I know what I'm saying but I have absolutely no clue).

If that's the case, I guess the steps would be:

1. Use titanium back-up

2. Go root and do the nand

2.1 Wipe like before

3. ??

Thanks a mill!!
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
I took out the radio update instructions a few weeks back purposefully, because the chances of bricking your phone when updating the radio are 1000x higher.

There's no fully-working bluetooth with any Desire rom at the moment. Paul from Modaco (different Paul :D) is working on it now since HTC released the code for the Desire.

If you need BT, NAND backup and then flash a non-Sense UI rom like Cyanogen.
