Weird, I had that issue when I first rooted my phone in March. To fix it, I just flashed the recovery a couple more times.

For those who can't get clockwork recovery to work, flash amon-ra using ROM Manager and here is the manual way to flash the roms.

First, after you've flashed the recovery, go download whatever ROM you want. It may be Modaco's ROMs or CM's or any other for that matter. For CM, it should look something like this: update-cm-Version#-N1-signed.zip Optionally download GApps. Don't change the names of the .zip's

# Note, you only need to download GApps if you are installing CM. For licensing purposes, CM doesn't include GApps by default.

Now move both the ROM .zip and the GApps .zip to the root of the sdcard. Turn off the phone. When it is off, press and hold down the trackball while you turn the phone on with the power button. It should load a white screen with some text and 3 rollerskating androids. Look carefully at the blue-highlighted text. It should say bootloader. If it doesn't use VOL Up and Down to scroll through the menu. When it says bootloader, press the power button again.

Now you should be at a screen that has the options Fastboot, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock. At first, you won't be able to move or select anything. Wait till a screen flashes by talking about not finding passimg. Ignore that! Afterwards, use vol keys to scroll to recovery. Press the power button.

It should look like you are booting up again with the X logo. Wait 5-15 sec and your recovery should pop up. It should be split in two sections, with a menu on top and a large portion on the bottom being somewhat blank. If an android and a white triangle with a yellow exclamation mark comes up, then you still have the stock recovery. Pull the battery and try flashing the recovery again using ROM Manager.

For those in the right recovery, use trackball to scroll and select in the menu. Vol Down is to go back. First, select Backup/Restore and choose create nandroid backup + ext. When it finishes (it'll take a while, be patient), select wipe then Wipe data/factory reset. Confirm and wait till it finishes. After, select Install .zip from SDCard and select the rom. If it doesn't show up, it's because you didn't move it to the root of the sdcard. Confirm that you want to flash the ROM and wait till it finishes. Afterwards, go back and flash the GApps zip through the same menu.

When GApps, finishes, select reboot system now and welcome to the wonderful world of custom ROMs.

Install what? Please be more specific.

For those having issues downloading the 1-click root apk on your phone and parsing errors and what not. Just download it on your computer and move it over usb to your phone. Then use a File Manager like Astro to install the apk.

Download the app (use one of the posto links in the begining or the one i posted in this thread). After that you only have to open the app (like installing any other app you download from the market). It takes you to the main screen, where there are 2 options - Root and unroot. You choose root., wait for a few seconds and that's it. You will see a confirmation message. Also to make sure, you will have a new app in the app deserto named super user permissions or something like that. That's it. Itens Washington my giratório tome rooting or doing something like that, and i compare it to installing a new app. There aren't complex commands. Hope it hellped you and good luck.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sousafrui:
Sorry for the errors in my last sentence. SwiftKey made a trick on me :-). What i was trying to say was that it was my first rooting process, and that there aren't any complex commands to use. Just as simple as installing a new app.

Well I took the plunge and all seems well. N1 2.2 FRF91.

Not gonna try flashing a new rom though. Not yet anyway. Took me ages to psych myself up just to try this.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PAGOT:
Hmm, with the new superuser version 2.3.1 well the 1.6.1 of the app I needed to root twice to get the ROOT. First time it didnt install the new version of SU. Wanted just say . Hero 2.1 Stock
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Sygnet:
I downloaded UniversalAndroot_1.5.3.apk. and its working great. Everything instaled ok.

I tried later UniversalAndroot_1.6.1.apk and wont work on my htc hero. Its looking same but Superuser Permission app didnt instaled. Ofcourse Titanium Backup dont work cause I dont have a root. Whats a problem?

I want say that I got "Woot! Your device is rooted!" so I dont know whats going on.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Kingken:
Same here..also using fr91 rom.. was wondering how to get paid market? Need to install Google app from rom manager?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Joshua Talley:
Modded!

Successfully flashed CM6 RC2 after the Universal Androot was used.

Thank you, XDA!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PAGOT:
As I said right above you .

YOU HAVE TO DO IT TWICE!!! Once it wont install the SU. Second time you run it will say you are rooted but you can do it again so do it and it should work.

It worked for me nicely :) . Just run the app again and root it.

Works on I-Mobile i858

Works on the I-Mobile i858 with both 1.6 and beta 2.1 firmware. Ignore the message that the phone is already rooted, and tell Universal Androot to re-root the phone. The phone is factory rooted but something is wrong and you cannot get root. After Universal Androot does its magic, the phone is really rooted and remains so after rebooting.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] y2jamit:
I rooted my Nexus One running FRF91 using this fabulous Androot and then I installed MarketAccess from amip.tools-for.net/android/MarketAccess

Works like a charm:D Finally I can access paid apps from India which is not in the supported countries list. I feel so good that finally I have a chance to support these wonderful Android developers :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cicrockets:
F.A.Q./Note

If you are installing CM 6, you need to get FRF91 GApps, NOT ERE--. That one is for Eclair. Flashing Eclair's gapps over froyo will cause boot loops. Which may be fun if you really like the new boot animation.

If an Add zip button doesn't show up on Rom Manager, you can either enable advanced options in settings, or just reboot and flash gapps after.

If you don't know how to flash a rom after rooting, go to your own respective device forum and post there. This thread is for the rooting app, not learning/asking how to install CM.

If you are running Nexus One and have issues flashing a rom after rooting, pm me and I'll try to help.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] InnovatedMind:
While I respect your post there is a major problem, almost every noob (including me) who posts on our own forum asking for simple questions and possible a step by step procedure (since it's very very confusing while reading it, if you aren't a technical person) on how to install certain software... we get useless replies like "go and read" or "why would we help you?" ... really? None of that helps us... No one takes the time to help the other person one on one into getting into this fabulous XDA Community by showing how to properly do things with their phone.... That's why we come here because people are actually helping... I really do need help as many steps on how to get CM6 on my G1 is like an alien language!!

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PatrickHuey15:
hi, just rooted with CM6 and i am really liking in on my mytouch, good thing the MT3G is so hacker friendly, but ive noticed a drop in my reception bars. am i just over thinking this or is there possibly someting wrong with my reception?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bgmarian:
work fine in my milestone!!!!! but we need this BEST APP FOR HTC DESIRE- FROYO!!!!!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] migatxu:
Nice to read that. I don't want to install ClockWork Recovery and ROM Manager. I want to install Amon_Ra's recovery and then flash the ROMs from it.

One more thing, the instructions state = fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ? I realized I couldn't did that without unlock the bootloader. If this is true I'm going to do that soon.

Edit: Doesn't work. Finally I got it with the flash_image method.

Cheers

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ekie84:
Sweet...its works : ) so what now?i can download rom with rom manager??
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] sbsxaid:
Explain please!

Hey everyone,

I must say that I am very new to the whole root thing, I have HTC Hero 2.1 and was amazed by this app as I have looked many website with long explanation to root and got really confused :confused:

I just need someone to explain to me, what I will gain from rooting my phone? If I download this app now and rooted my phone, what will happen and what can I do it?

Thank you very much in advance :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ctbear:
One great advantage of rooting is of course custom ROMs

However if you're not into flashing custom ROMs, you can still benefit a lot from rooting. Examples are uninstalling stock apps that you don't need, and using apps that are otherwise not usable without root (e.g., Screen capture, set CPU speed, and of course, Titanium Backup!)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] donepate:
Another slide that just reboots. Was realy excited when I started, but now I am in another holding patern. Any ideas?

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kuyamon:
What happens when you unroot after installing custom recovery and custom ROM? Does it load all stock, i.e. stock recovery, stock 2.2? This is for Nexus One.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dauniq1:
n00b question.

38 pages to sort thru & didn't find the answer. Does this work on Evo, Stock 2.1 or 2.2 rom?

Sorry if it's been asked already.

Coming from Windows, I just don't understand, full root v/s partial root (actually which ones do what)

Basically, I don't want to flash custom Rom. Just want Fill root on Stock Rom for Titanium Backup, or remove stock proggys. Also want to be able to tether or use hotspot without the fees.

Thanks in advance.

Has anyone tried the version 1.6.1. on htc desire??

Just tried it on the Tattoo ... it works! Great !! Just deleted the startup-sound :D
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stshannon:
For all those asking, "Will this work on <insert your device here>?".... the answer is simple.

Install the APK, and try it. If it works, it works. If it doesn't work, there will be no changes made to your device, no harm no foul.

And to again answer the common "Okay, im rooted, now what?" or "How do i install a ROM?" questions;

Arguably, CyanogenMod is the most stable, most customizable, most popular ROM, that works on a dozen or so devices.

Check out the link for his wiki, find your device at the top, and follow instructions. Keep in mind, the devices are listed as thier Manufacturer name, not thier carrier name. I.e., the Tmobile MyTouch is listed as the HTC Magic. The Tmobile G1 is listed as the HTC Dream, etc.

Golden rule of modding, "ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS NANDROID BACKUP!!"

And per Cyanogen himself, a direct quote - "While this build is heavily optimized, it is also capable of pushing your G1 much harder. I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or the current economic crisis. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! You are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you."

Is anyone else experiencing the droid with the triangle and exclamation mark ?

Everything went smooth except that part...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] figgeo:
Uninstall is simple, just download titanium backup, choose backup/restore (i think It's called) press on the app you wanna uninstall and uninstall it.

I wanna knew witch app is safe to remove..
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PAGOT:
Use the freezing function of the donated version of Tit.backup you can revert if you have trouble. Well not by all apps, use really with caution!!!

This I froze

*Stocks and the widget (this one I removed :P)

*Footprints

*Mail and mail widget from htc

*HTC sense (you have to have an alternative installed or you are screwed!) and you need to disable with this the HTC widget download something and the rosie utility

*Peep

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Forge94:
Did you do your backup through ROM Manager?

Any radio updates needed?

What about a Nandroid backup and a wipe?

I feel like an idiot.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zok-star:
WOW awesome!! thanks!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] enlothien:

PS: shouldn't this thread be moved to "Nexus One Android Development"???
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris6278:
I think this thread is in the right area considering it is an app that roots your phone
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dusty-:
Every time I try and download the app I get download unsuccessful.

Is the app still good? I read that Google pulled the quick root app from the market.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dusty-:
Lol never mind I got it to download on skyfire and now I'm rooted.

Now that I'm rooted what do I do? Is flashing a cooked Rom on android as simple as flashing on winmo?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] RottenRonnie:
I have rooted my phone 3 Australia .

How do i tell what has changed & as another user asked .

What should my next steps be to customising with cm6 ?

Thank$

From a not very tech savvy person :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris6278:
If ur rooted nothin has really changed except u should now have the superuser permissions app which lets u use apps that require root access. As far as flashing the new cm6 there are simple instructions here on xda that tells u what to do
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cicrockets:
Caution: Installing CyanogenMod will erase everything on your phone. You will have to reinstall any non-market apps and you will lose all your contacts and emails and messages, unless you first back it up with Titanium Backup in the market.

Note: I am not responsible for any damage you make to your phone. This is only a guide and by no means the complete and only way to flash CM.

Warning: If you flash CM, you will have to update your radio to the new one released with 2.2 unless you already updated it. Flashing this wrong could brick your phone and I am not responsible for any damages that occur to your device. I'm not going to into how to flash the radio. From here on out, I'm going to assume you already have the Froyo radio.

Once you root, the simplest way to install CM6 would be to download ROM Manager from the market and flash the recovery. Here are the steps:

1. Plug in your power cable and root using the 1-click root.

2. Search for ROM Manager on Market and Install

3. Open the app and allow the app to gain root access

4. Click the "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and wait until the progress bar is finished.

5. It might freeze or ask permissions midway or not work at all. In this case, just click the button again.

6. Then click the Download ROM under ROM Management of ROM Manager and select CyanogenMod.

7. Select the one you want. CM 6.0.0 are all Froyo 2.2 Release Candidates so may have bugs. CM 5.0.8 is the last stable release of Eclair 2.1

8. In edition to downloading CM, make sure you download the corresponding Google Apps as CM does not include GApps for copyright and licensing issues.

9. Afterwords, go back to the main menu and select "Install ROM from SD Card".

10. Navigate to clockworkmod/download/mirror.kanged.net/... until you get to the ROM. It should be named somewhat like update-cm-6.0.0-N1-RC2-signed.zip

11. Click on it and click Add Zip. Then navigate to clockworkmod/download/kanged.net/... until you get to the GApps. It should be named somewhat like gapps-hdpi-FRF91-2-signed.zip

12. Click that and click OK.

13. When it prompts, choose to backup before flashing and give the backup a name like "Stock N1 Rooted". Also choose to clear data and dalvik-cache.

14. Wait. It'll reboot and go into the clockwork recovery and automatically queue and flash the two zips. Keep waiting until it reboots again.

15. Welcome to Cyanogen Mod.

Side-note: I'm not sure if clearing data and cache count as a full wipe. If these steps dont get you to a working CM rom, tell me and I'll post the non-automated way to do this.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stshannon:
Boy, search is your best friend. YES it will, and as stated ONE PAGE AGO, try it, if it works it works. If it does not work, no changes will be made to your device, and there will be no harm to your device.

"the root app"? Ummm..... if you use this app, and you successfully root your phone, you will be able to use apps that require root access, yes. If that was your question.

The devices that are confirmed this will work for are posted in the OP. If you have a device not listed.... TRY IT. If it doesnt work, nothing will be changed on your phone, if it works great. Let us know.

As for directions on how to use the app, and how to install a recovery image and mods, PLEASE SEARCH or read through the thread, both those questions have been answered SEVERAL times within the thread.

<what are the odds the very next post will be "Will this device work on my UK orange iPhone i now use in Japan?" or "How do i use this app?">
