Okay, still nothing. This is what it does. I've downloaded the sdk, I download drivers/usb. When I connect my device it does not show new hardware found, but the 2 tests/screenshots you have both show my phone serial and the other adb thing....

So I assume there installed. So I go in fastboot, bring up commands on pc, type cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools then enter... the next line says c:\android-sdk-windows\tools.... now I enter fastboot devices and then enter.... now this is where the device I'd/serial should show up, well it doesn't, just goes to the promp c:\android-sdk-windows\tools again.....

How can I get this thing to recognize my device... windows 7 starter by the way for pc..

Any help, I'm itching to root n flash...
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
Thanks for the screenshot. That's very helpful.

Two things. From that screenshot, type "adb devices" (without the quotes) and press enter.

Then type "dir /w" (without the quotes) and press enter.

Make the window bigger so it shows all the text. Then post a pic again.
[Nexus One Android Development] temperbad:
doing that now. almost done
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
Did you enable USB debugging on your phone?
[Nexus One Android Development] temperbad:
yes I Did!!!!!
[Nexus One Android Development] :
Does your nexus one show up as an ejectable device in your system tray?*(like a usb flash drive)
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
When you did adb devices was the phone plugged in?

Also, when you run ddms, it shows your phone in there?

That doesn't make sense that ddms would work but adb devices wouldn't oO
[Nexus One Android Development] temperbad:
Yessssss'!!!
[Nexus One Android Development] temperbad:
I don't get it either... the instructions to root are simple, I just can't get my device recognized by this..
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
If you open ddms, go to Device -> Screen capture -> does it take a picture of your phone???

If it works, then I have no idea. Your PC might be messed up somehow. Try a different PC if you have access to one.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
I thought you said your computer doesn't show "new device hardware found"?
[Nexus One Android Development] temperbad:
R

Yea, it takes a screen shot of my device... and I tried my other pc with windows xp.... Maybe the phones messed...
[Nexus One Android Development] temperbad:
It doesn't after I downloaded drivers. But when plugged in I go to devices and it shows my n1 as a mass storage divice. But still right when I plug it in my computer don't pop up new hardware found.
[Nexus One Android Development] temperbad:
Okay my xp shows new hardware found.. now what.. point path to usb driver?
[Nexus One Android Development] :
Follow the same steps...
[Nexus One Android Development] temperbad:
I need flash goshdarnit... it will not beat me..

Shat kids spilled water in the keyboard so now thats not a option. ... damn why won't my laptop do it...
[Nexus One Android Development] temperbad:
how can I check if I got the right drivers installed? Or was that screenshot thing it? This is bull. I typed Fastboot Oem Unlock for ****s and giggles and its just waiting for device. HMMMMM What the Hell. Everybody in the world unlocks But I cant. I am a VIP at PPCGEEKS and Flashed a bazzilion times, done registry edits, edited manilla, but wtf I cant get this period.
[Nexus One Android Development] temperbad:
ok, in bootloader with phone off that ddms doesnt show my device. If that means anything. but turn phone back on and i shows
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
Yes, if you can take a screenshot of your phone, the drivers are installed. But if 'adb devices' doesn't show your phone, that's really really weird.

Remember fastboot only works when your phone is in the white screen, not normal Android. You're at the white screen right?
[Nexus One Android Development] temperbad:
yes, Im on that white screen, Ive tried everything. I think I have a Un Rootable phone... Son of a Monkey. Im the only one that I read that Has had this problem.

thanks for your help though, not just with me, but with everyone in this thread. Sounds you have helped alot of people, and even me today regardless of this not working. Atleast I know the correct drivers are installed. I guess Ill just have to try again on my XP once I get a new keyboard now... Darn Kids, the only day I need that and they spill water in it.. meh
[Nexus One Android Development] temperbad:
Does your ddms show your device when your in bootloader?
[Nexus One Android Development] :
Check your device manager to see if you have any issues with the drivers for the phone.
[Nexus One Android Development] temperbad:
something poped up saying one of my usb drivers failed, so im updating it. Now after downloading the Nexus drivers, which file inside that do I use??? Or point it to install. Theres like 2...

Edit: So which file do I direct to install the USB DRIVER that I downloaded ???? Its just empty folders

OMG this is insane
[Nexus One Android Development] temperbad:
please someone help me, How exactly do I install the new drivers, What is the exact driver I need to install. Or reinstall them? I think this is my problem????

edit: ok I just updated the drivers, I figured, that out, Now lets try and see if I can unlock bootloader
[Nexus One Android Development] temperbad:
ok, now after downloading the drivers, and plugging my phone into the computer it started installing the drivers, then it gave a error on a driver, the androi bootloader interface driver.. Now I think this is the problem, without this driver in bootloader my phone is not recognizing it. So question is now..

Can yall see your device in ddms when your in bootloader?

If so I think this is my problem, I cant.

Other question is why is the android bootloader interface driver not installing?
[Nexus One Android Development] temperbad:
ok now I went into bootloader, typed fastboot devices and I get this

?????????? Fastboot
[Nexus One Android Development] temperbad:
yessssssssssssssssssssss i finally got itttt
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
I don't think so.

NICE!!!

How did you fix it? Did you do anything besides reinstalling drivers?
[Nexus One Android Development] temperbad:
no Just installed drivers again and worked, ok now im trying to install the recovery image and I got the android guy with a triangle with a ! When I do this am I Supposed to keep it connected to the pc Still

edit. Ok Im in recovery now doing a backup. Then im gonna flash the 21 version of Desire rom
[Nexus One Android Development] temperbad:
how come theres only 92 mb of free memory.?????

Oh SHoot I didnt flash the add on. Can I do that now.
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
Nah, don't flash the addon.

Also, don't worry about memory. Android takes care of it...

Updated the OP with some more pics, and adb devices.
[Nexus One Android Development] drewX2:
I haven't done this yet, but plan to do so. Thanks for the write up!
[Nexus One Android Development] temperbad:
What steps do I take to do another Rom? The desire with apps2sd?

Do i wipe then update?
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
Repeat step F but with a different zip file.

I wouldn't mess around with apps2sd unless you knew what you were doing. I don't even use apps2sd. Not really needed unless you're installing over 50 apps.
[Nexus One Android Development] temperbad:
Thanks paul. You da man.
[Nexus One Android Development] Funk2641:
Hi, I need some assistance. First time installing, etc. On B11, when I type adb devices, nothing shows up.

I'm running Windows 7.
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
A) Did you enable USB debugging?

B) Try reinstalling the drivers.

If that doesn't work, can you post a screenshot of the cmd window? (Alt + Print screen, then Start -> Run -> "mspaint" -> press Enter -> Paste -> Save, upload to http://imageshack.us, and reply with the "Direct Link")
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
Bump! :cool:
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
I finally got around to wiping and updating to the latest version. Updates with new pictures! The Desire Live Wallpaper is sexy

And I updated my Recovery too, so I added a picture in the Recovery steps for that too.
[Nexus One Android Development] solidmac:
So I already flashed my in with cm 5 can I still install the desire Rom on top?
[Nexus One Android Development] din0_22:
Hey Paul Awesome Work! It is my first time to have an Android which is a Nexus One and your guide is awesome!!!

So let me ask you this? what if i wasnted to upgrade to another rom? do i just need to copy the .zip file over to my SD card and enter recovery mode --> clean wipe factory --> clear cache and flash it using install .zip image?

Please let me know

thanks

P.S. now that my phone is using the Desire rom using your Guide, it is now Rooted right? and can i use any Nexus one rom with it?

thanks again
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
You'll have to wipe and repeat step F with Cyanogen's ROM.

I'll update the guide with this.

Thanks!

Yup, pretty much exactly that.

Just step F with a different zip file.

Yeah, you should be rooted now. Try N1 Torch from the Market, or download a free terminal app, open it, and type "su".
[Nexus One Android Development] temperbad:
I wanna say I resort to this guide when I need to so something flashing wise, I use the same steps on different roms, great work Paul....

Also I wanted to add when you properly install drivers, make sure you restart your pc before ya try and unlock or etc. That helped me atleast...
[Nexus One Android Development] din0_22:
I very much appreciate it. Anyway just a quick question, is there a way to turn off the htc sense on this alpha rom 21 desire modaco?

Ive been searching but i haven't found a solution. It is just ofcourse would be a benefit to have this option.
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
Yep. Do this:

Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> HTC Sense -> Clear Defaults -> Force Stop (may or may not need to do this) -> Press Home
[Nexus One Android Development] din0_22:
Unfortuantely, this does not work for me. Everytime i press home HTC sense will start launching.

Did it several times, made sure that Clear defaults has gone and have used forced stop but HTC sense is still launching each time i press home.

any advice? im trying to do this to save some battery.. i have long work hours and most of the time i end up with a drained battery.
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
Ah, maybe they disabled that feature in the shipping ROM. alpha21 is the shipping ROM rather than the leaked ROM, which did have this feature.

If you want to save battery, go to Accounts & sync and turn all the auto sync features off (or extend the times), Sound & display -> Brightness turn off auto-brightness and set it to as low as you can tolerate, and if you are in a position that you can do this, disable Mobile Networks or even set the phone on Airplane mode. (I use my office phone strictly during work, so I always use Airplane mode during the day.)
[Nexus One Android Development] :
The launcher was removed from the actual desire phone for shipping. Since paul is basing the rom of the desire rom the latest leak he had probably had the launcher pulled as well.
[Nexus One Android Development] x986123:
When my phone is in the bootloader and I type 'fastboot devices', it says ???????????? instead.

fastboot devices is not working.. please help

"When my phone is in the bootloader and I type 'fastboot devices', it just returns me to a command line.. I type it again.. Blank command line? wtf? any ideas.. Every other part of the process is working great. Please help

and yes.. I do it the power button to get into fast boot
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
Did you press the power button to ENTER fastboot? Not just being on the white screen, but then selecting the option to actually get INTO fastboot.
[Nexus One Android Development] kingblind:
yes.. I do hit the power button.. no change..
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
Can you get back into Android OS?

If so, does "adb devices" show your phone's serial #?
[Nexus One Android Development] kingblind:
when I type adb devices it shows the phone's serial number
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
Hmm, no idea. Try reinstalling the drivers. If that doesn't work, try a different computer. Are you on Windows 7?

Little issues like these, such as the ???????????, just seem to happen randomly and I haven't seen anyone post how they solved it. That other guy it happened to, maybe it was just random.

And unfortunately, Google doesn't allow searching for question marks.
[Nexus One Android Development] kingblind:
I am on windows 7.. I have reinstalled the drivers.. Also, I am not getting any question marks.. I just get a blank command line when I type fastboot devices.
[Nexus One Android Development] kingblind:
ok, now it's working.. but now when I type fastboot devices it says waiting for devices... Now what? lol. any help would be great.
[Nexus One Android Development] DarkDvr:
for the sake of all holy, why is this thread not a sticky?!
[Nexus One Android Development] rjhay22:
Umm it already is... isn't it? I coulda sworn it is.
[Nexus One Android Development] kingblind:
ok, I have win 7 64 bit.. Got updated USB drivers from PDAnet install.. NOW it works perfectly.. Thanks for the help!
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
Click Report on the first post for a sticky if you can! :)

Ahhh, so the drivers included are maybe not supported for 64 bit.

Can you link the location you downloaded the working drivers from?
[Nexus One Android Development] DarkDvr:
Done! :D:D
[Nexus One Android Development] kingblind:
here is where you can download PDAnet.. (it has the good 64bit win 7 USB drivers)

[Nexus One Android Development] PacoL250:
Not wanting to go too off topic, but now that the Droid Incredible is coming out (and coming soon might I add), shall we see a far better version of the Sense UI for our N1s?

After all, the Incredible is essentially a N1 with an upgraded camera. :)
[Nexus One Android Development] lrsone:
So I tried flashing my recovery but I get an:

writing 'rocovery' ... INFOsignature checking... FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
Woo! Thanks! :cool:

That would be nice. I wonder if that background they have is a new live wallpaper :cool:

Did you do the oem unlock and was it successful?
[Nexus One Android Development] :
Nope. Gotta wait for the source.
[Nexus One Android Development] road-rcr:
When I type cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools I get a message saying "the system cannot find the path specified".
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
Where did you unzip the sdk files to?

Try browsing to the directory manually to make sure it's there.
[Nexus One Android Development] PacoL250:
Well yes, but that shouldn't be too long from now seeing as how the phone comes out at the end of the month.
[Nexus One Android Development] road-rcr:
I found them, for some reason it was named C:\android-sdk-windows\android-sdk-windows\tools. So everything has worked until I get to the oemunlock command. Once I get there I hit enter and it seems to work but then the phone does not reboot to the oem unlock screen and if I reboot it myself nothing happens, it just starts up normally.
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
When your phone boots up, do you see an unlocked lockpad, like this one?

Cool pic if I say so myself. I'm adding to the guide :D
[Nexus One Android Development] road-rcr:
No, I do not have the unlocked lock at the bottom and I don't get the screen letting you choose to unlock or not unlock. Everything works perfect up to that point when the guide says the phone will reboot. Mine never reboots it just stays on the bootloader screen and if I reboot it nothing has changed.
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
Ok, hold up.

A) When you type 'fastboot devices' with your phone in the bootloader, what does it say?

B) When you type 'fastboot oem unlock', what happens?
[Nexus One Android Development] road-rcr:
It gives me the phones serial number and fastbbot after it just like the instructions say.

I get a list of things come up in the Command line box but nothing happens on the screen of the phone. My phone never gets to the screen warning that you are unlocking the bootloader with the check yes or no and that all data will be erased. Mine just stays on the white bootloader screen with the 3 androids skateboarding.
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
Can you take a screenshot of the things that show up in the cmd window?

(Alt + Print screen, then Start -> Run -> "mspaint" -> press Enter -> Paste -> Save, upload to http://imageshack.us, and reply with the "Direct Link")
[Nexus One Android Development] Sk0t24:
Thank you for the bomb proof guide. it was extremely helpful.
[Nexus One Android Development] road-rcr:

[Nexus One Android Development] janezka:
Rookie mistake...

Hey guys,

So I recently bought a Nexus One from someone and it already had the Desire Rom installed. I went to erase the previous user's personal data by restoring factory settings (this is where it all went wrong). So now I'm stuck on the startup screen every time I boot up (with unlock icon on the bottom). I can still get to the recovery screen.

I can see under the "Flash zip from sd card" menu that there is a file on the card named "alpha19-update-modacustomrom-nexusone-desire etc..."

What steps do I take to get the phone back up and running?

Can I just start from part "F" of the guide from this thread?

What about step 3? - backup/restore - Do I do this part? I don't know what it would be backing up/restoring in its current state.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
Yep, do Part F
[Nexus One Android Development] janezka:
Thanks for the quick response!

So just to confirm, still do step 3 of section F?

Sorry, just don't want to mess anything up more than I have...
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
"Backup/Restore" is the option in the menu; not meaning do a Backup AND a Restore.

Follow the steps exactly.
[Nexus One Android Development] archillion:
i did everything everything onthe guide and i think it worked, but i am stuck in the white htc quietly brillant boot screen for a while now. how long is this suppoed to take?
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
At most 4-5 minutes. Try re-wiping both data and cache and then flash again.
[Nexus One Android Development] archillion:
yeah i just did that and it worked fine. but why did i put the 2 .zip files in the root of the sd card when we only flashed one zip file?
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
What's the name of the zip file that you didn't use?
[Nexus One Android Development] archillion:
nexus-addon-0.1-signed.zip

the guide never told me to flash that zip so i never did. but i did copy it to my sdcard
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
Did you use superboot?

Otherwise, look at step E3 ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] archillion:
lol reading pwns me. so should i wipe everthing then reinstall everything?
[Nexus One Android Development] archillion:
and also, does it matter if i wipe first then recover or recover then wipe?
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
Wait, when you said before in post #336 "i just did that and it worked fine.", what was it that worked fine?

I thought you meant you were in Desire already. If so, no need to do anything else.
[Nexus One Android Development] archillion:
i rewiped everything and installed the desire rom but i didnt install the addon zip. i think what happened is i installed the rom and then i installed the addon, which may have caused the htc splash screen hanging. now i rewiped everything, installed the addon, then installed the rom and everything works fine now.

Just want to thank Paul and his buddy for doing this step by step "for dummies" N1 power unleashed! LOL tried to do as it says in youtube and other sites and never worked. :eek: It feels like a new phone! More colors and faster than before! Thanks guys, you know where to find me.:o I'm a successful newbie in this, where I can find cool app for the N1? :confused:
[Nexus One Android Development] thewayne01:
I did this last night. From stock AT&T version. The whole process took maybe 20 minutes. Followed step by step and it was flawless!:)

I did this on Windows 7. The only difference I saw was with installing the USB drivers. When connecting the phone, Windows said drivers were not installed and did not give you an options for manually installing. I had to go to Device Manager and manually update the drivers there. Not a big deal really.

Thanks, this makes it feel like a new phone all over again.
[Nexus One Android Development] DarkDvr:
Cyanogen, roughly speaking, is a ROM.

ROM is kinda like an operating system (think Windows 7, Vista)

Sense UI is kinda like a... mmm.. I dunno, Microsoft Word. A program. So you install the Cyanogen (ROM), and it already comes with Sense UI installed (or not, depending on the version/config).

Dunno if that helped or made you even more confused.
[Nexus One Android Development] Paul22000:
Thanks!

Check out the Themes and Apps forum. Lots of cool stuff, and even some developed by people here

Wow, you're fast! Haha
[Nexus One Android Development] brenopoubel:
So i cant install Cyanogen on Modaco custom ROM Desire Right?
