Thanks for the waste of space!

It geniuses like you that make people afraid to ask. I'm no n00b to the boards. Just Android. You half ass answer one post, then fully answer another post in the same breath.

How in the world would a n00b know if phone bricks or not?! Or even how to get it un bricked or if it's even un brickable? Even Cyanogen himself as well as many chefs has a disclosure about bricking.

I come from Windows since CE. One can brick their device by simply installing and trying as you so eloquently put it. You search on Nandroid or rooting and 10000 post 100 pages long pops up. Sometimes a person just can't weed thru all of that. Then those words are jargon to most.

You have every right to post what you want but common sense should tell you especialliy when one introduces themselves as a n00b that they are unsure and seeking guidance.

The msg boards are a plethora of info. As stated, didn't find what I was looking for throughout 38 whole pages. Something easy to miss. I think seasoned vets on here such as yourself should be just a smidge more helpful as you proved you can be.

I do extend my apologies to you. I am sorry that I have kids, a girlfriend and i have a wife on the side ;-) And that we grown folks do unmentionable things in the confides of my boudoir and not live in my command center in mommy's basement on the net all day with a cape and helmet on drinking yahoo and eating popcorn while playing dungeons and dragons with my friends arguing whether or not superman can beat the hulk or which captain of the enterprise was better. Just my 2 cents and thanks for the info.

not trying to be mean, but, I just dont understand why so many people are so anxious to root their phones without doing ALOT of reading, research, and more research...

I have been messing with smart phones since the days of the IPAQ, have had at least 30 or more phones in my life, jailbroke all my Iphones, and, even though I wanted to root my EVO as soon as I got it, I just wasn't that comfortable doing it SO I DIDNT!!!

Now, on 2.2, there really isnt a way to root at this point, which is fine, because even though I have read tons of posts, articles, and, tried to learn everything I could about rooting, I still want to be 100% sure I know what I am doing, once a way to root 2.2 is out.

I guess my whole point is there are ALOT of newbies, who have no idea what they are getting into, messing up their phones by flashing ROMS, and doing all sorts of stuff that bricks their phones, then they come crying here for help, and get snotty when 10 people don't answer their questions within 5 minutes..

If you arent 105% sure of what you are doing, and, dont have a recovery plan or back up available if you screw up, leave your damn phone alone until you do..and quit pissing and moaning when the wonderful dev's and veteran hackers who are kind enough to post here, and help out as much as they can, remind you how stupid you were to try something you had no business trying in the first place!!

Sorry, getting off the soap box now for good...

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jltyler:
I've been around this place a little while now but never post. Dont never have much to say.

But the information for what to do after rooting with the app is all in the thread. I've never rooted or loaded custom roms before today. I took the time to read the whole thread and found all the answer to any questions I had. People need to stop being lazy and research a little. It might have took me 30 minutes while watching golf to read the whole thread.

I have the exact same problem. Neither of the 2 downloadversion work when trying to download from my phone (xperia x10 mini pro.). Works fine when downloading to computer.

Where on the phone do i put the file after i dl:ed it to my comp?

Thx in advance for help.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] fyremedik:
Move the file to sd card then use Astro file manager to load it on the phone.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] makelegs:
Just throwing this out there...

I typically download non-market apps onto my laptop and then just email them to myself (gmail on N1). You can simply install the apk direct from the email attachment. That's exactly how I downloaded and installed 1-click root (from link on original post) onto my N1... which seems to have worked VERY simply and effectively... BIG thanks to those of you who have asked and/or answered all of the questions that I had!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cicrockets:
I'm not saying that people need to shut up and leave. I'm sorry if it came off that way. I meant to say that most people posting here won't know the specifics for working it out on other phones. So asking how to get CM installed on, for instance, a mytouch3g on the Nexus One forum will not yield any results. Most of the answers that can be answered have already been done so. All you need to do is read this thread. A forum is not meant to discuss the same question over and over. If you can't find the answer then post or pm someone.

I'm trying to root my n1. There are two files. Which one should I use or both?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ekie84:
What files?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dvandam:
Does this do a "true" rooting of the N1? I only ask because I ran this and it appeared that my phone was rooted (was able to install and run apps that required root access like Rom Manager and SetCPU) but I can't seem to boot into my custom Recovery (to run Nandroid), and Titanium Backup claims that I don't have root access. Are there still some things that require an unlocked bootloader or am I just doing something wrong?

you can keep the radio, but i cant tell if i kept the 720p. I doubt it but i didnt think id keep the radio either. But the 720p thread says it only works on 1 or 2 roms, the radio works on nexus one in general so: "yes" to the radio, 99.99999% "no" to the 720p

hero 2.1 not really working

ok guys,

this is really not working on my hero 2.1 with latest updates installed.

I've read the whole 43 pages of this thread, tried with version 1.6.1, .1.5.3 and even the latest beta 1.6.2.

It always says that the phone is rooted, but i have no superuser app, neither i can use titanium backup or other root apps.

As someone suggested I also tried to root the phone twice, but nothing.

all i can add is that when i try to use "su" on terminal it says:

[1] Segmentation fault su

any suggestions?

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stshannon:
Ummm..... hmmm.... okay......

I thought i was a help. Stating something along the lines of "install it, if it dont work, nothing will be done to your phone, you'll be alright even if it doesn't work" i would have figured would have helped people, specifically those that were pretty new, and afraid to brick their phones. hmmm..

And i also thought pointing them to a link, for arguably the most popular, stable, and custom rom out there was a help as well. Maybe i should have retyped the whole CyanogenMod Wiki up so that it was HERE for them? God what was i thinking?

I guess im sorry for all the mis-information?

Ohhh hey, check this quote..

No sweat glad i could help.

I had this problem as well, and what i found causing MY troubles was that i flashed the wrong gapps package. specificly i flashed an eclair gapps instead of the proper froyo gapps package.

Now weather or not this is the cause of your problem, i cant say but thought id toss that out there.

Also, another common boot problem can be solved by Wiping Cache and Davlik Cache, both of wich can be found in your recovery. I assume you have a custom recovery since it appears you flashed CyanogenMod.

Recovery (depending on you device) can commonly be gottten to by powering up while holding Home, or while holding Vol-Down, or holding both Vol-Down and Vol-Up, etc...... those seem to be the most common, but im sure are not the only combinations to get into recovery.

This man's a genius!

(on a side note... WATCHING golf? Inst that like watching the grass grow, or paint dry?)

Yes its a true root. It does NOT install a recovery. Download Rom Manager from the market, and use that to install clockwork recovery (or amon-ra).

As for titanium backup, its been answered prior to your question, and once after, but ill repeat it since im here. In TB, click problems, then click yes. This will download Busybox, which is required for Titanium Backup to get the correct privileges.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tuan209:
hey guys,

I might have messed up my phone :(. I tried to install CM through clockworkmod, and I was trying to add the zip for the google addon but accidently proceeded with CM install without wiping out the phone!

HELP!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MasterJoko:
thanks a lot for this nice tool.

Titanium Backup works, after Busybox update!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stshannon:
Okay, HOPEFULLY you did a nandroid backup first, did you remember the golden rule of modding, "Always Always Always Nandroid Backup!"?

Also i hope you installed a custom recovery before trying to install CM.

If you did, you can reboot into recovery. On a Nexus one this is done by powering up while holding the Vol-Down key. If you have a different device, Google your device and "boot into recovery", you should find the key combination there.

Once in recovery you should nandroid restore. This is your best, easiest option. Then retry following directions more precise.

If you don't have a nandroid backup, your only other option is to research on these XDA threads for your device, and you'll have to install a rom through recovery. Which isn't DIFFICULT, just a little more process to it then through Rom Manager.

If you failed to install a custom recovery before anything, then I'm currently out of thoughts. Ill think on it some and if i don't see any more responses to your problem in a while, ill try to come up with something else.

EDIT: I think i have a good solution, if you don't have a nandroid backup, but have recovery!!!

Go into recovery, do a proper wipe of data, cache, and davlik cache (the latter is found in advanced). Then install from SD, and browse to the clockwork directory, then i think its mirror.kanged.com or something. Anyways, somewhere in the "clockwork" folder on your SD card, I'm willing to bet you already have the CM pack. You need to find it. Then install that again.

Again, Wipe data, cache and davlik cache. Using the install from SD card option, browse around the clockwork directory (im pretty sure its clockwork, ill look after my phone is done installing my new rom), find the cyanogenmod zip, and install that.

HOPEFULLY you have recovery, and you should be good, even if you don't have a nandroid backup.

(Rom Manager, when you installed CyanogenMod through that, it downloaded the file to your SD card, it should be there still.)

Please give help me with a stap-by-step on rooting a Samsung Beam i8520. Thank in advance!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stshannon:
Posted MANY times through the thread, simply download the app from the Original Post, and run it. If it works it works, if it doesnt work, nothing will be done to your phone, nothing will have been modified.

Steps:

1) download from OP

2) if downloaded onto a PC, plug computer in, and move downloaded file to SD Root.

3) download astro file manager, or estrongs file manager from marketplace

4) use file manager and browse to your downloaded file. CLICK to install application (follow installation prompts/security checks)

5) Open application

6) click the button to Root.

As said numerous times in this thread; This will give you ROOT access. this will NOT give you a custom recovery, or a custom Rom. Nor will Titanium Backup work Immediately.

If you wish to do/use any of those things, please reasearch this thread, as those topics have been covered MANY MANY times.

On a side note, ill end with this:

The golden rule of modding; "ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS NANDROID BACKUP!"

(you can nandroid backup once you get a custom recovery image. This is done with Rom Manager. You can run Rom Manager once you have root.)

Hero problems

I am having the same problem as trespolo describes on page 44

i have the alltel version of the hero with 2.1

the app says "woot! your device is rooted" but i get no superuser

the only thing i have gotten to work is using the temp root in the 1.6.2 beta

but thats only a temp root and it only works if i go through and unroot with the app reboot and do temp root first thing. i have tried all versions and i have tried rooting more than once as suggested (i did it like 10 times in a row, maybe a little overboard).....and please nobody tell me "alltel doesnt exist anymore its now verizon" in some areas there is still alltel basically because of red tape but its still alltel
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PAGOT:

Insalling superuser from the market did not work at all

Has anyone else gotten a status 7 installation aborted error when trying to flash CM mod with these steps?

It's not the md5 checksum that's fine, it's not the filename that's fine too..

It seems to be a problem with ro.bootloader

Do I need to do a nand unlock as well. AFAIK only rooting + clockwork's recovery is necessary right?

Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stshannon:
I would make a nandroid backup from recovery. reboot, try out the lockscreen. if it works cool, if not, reboot hack to recovery and nandroid restore. this method "should" get you back working if. you hang at the lock screen. but don't hold me liable. smirk.

Check out the kangorama link in my signature. its a oatge thread and you may need to search within the thread for it. but its been mentioned in there that SOME people, not many but some, have bad blocks in thier bootloader partition of whatever, and there's nothing they can do about it. this seems like, or similar tool your problem. I'm not real familiar with it or how to help you, just thought it might be a good place for you to start looking.
