You will need to downgrade your recovery. At the bottom of Rom Manager is All ClockworkMOd Recoveries. Choose 2.0.1.9 and it should install fine. This happened to me as well.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stshannon:
If i read right, you shouldn't have to KEEP the downgraded recovery. Cant you downgrade, then reinstall the new recovery, and that should also fix the problem?

Sorry if this has been answered before but what is the difference between SuperUser and Universal AndRoot?

LG GT540

Hello,

Universalandroot 1.6.1 with Superuser v2.3.1 works great on my LG GT540 with Android 1.6 (Software Version: GT540-V10e-May24-2010)

It´s really the easiest way to root the phone.

The other way to root the LG GT540 (android.modaco.com/content/lg-gt540-optimus-gt540-...) doesn´t work on my LG GT540.

It says I have the root permission, but in fact the phone was not rooted.

I tried via adb/sdk to push the file su in /system/bin and the superuser.apk in /system/appto phone and it says "read only file system" and the copying was not succesful.

I tried the mount rewrite order which was also posted here. It doesn´work.

Universalandroot 1.6.1 installed the su file in /system/bin and the superuser.apk in /system/app and now my phone is completly rooted.

Thanks to the developer/s for his/their great work.

I downloaded Titanium Backup and Banarcle Wifi Tether and install it and i have no problems with the root permission.

I had little problems with Busybox, but i was able to solve this problems fast.

And I have to click twice on the root button, but that was for me not really a problem. I just tried another time and that was it.

A tip for those where the app wifi tethering is not working:

Install Barnacle, with my LG GT 540 it works perfect. I get the same failure message with the Kernel problem like other users and with the Barnacle app I doesn´t have any problems.

Greetings Mike

How can I root my vibrant from my phone, tried androot and it said fail when installing toolkit, please help
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mosch1979:
Hello Gregger,

as I say in my post above, try another click on the root button.

On my LG the first try to root the phone also failed.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DrScottyB:
Sprint Hero = Nope

This app does not work with the Sprint Hero.

When you run the app is says that the phone is rooted, and it installs SU, but SU doesn't do anything. You can't delete the Sprint & HTC crapware...I also tried using Rom Manager while the phone was "rooted" and I got the Death Screen (the one with the pic of the phone and an exclamation point in a triangle). I pulled the battery and tried restarting and got the death screen again. This happened a whole bunch of times and just as I tried one last time, before totally freaking out, the phone booted up fully...

I am now too freaked out to even play with this anymore.

Still can't root LG GT540

I have tried this method, plus the original one that never worked for me, and I am still doubtful that I am fully rooted. Reason being, I cant seem to uninstall some of the software that was bundled with the phone (i.e. Youtube, the original browser ect...)

Is there another way to root the GT540 and get all the pre-installed bloatware out of the phone?

Many thanks in advance!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] existonz09:
hi .. i need a quick reply.. my N1 right now is stuck at the X logo (the 4 color logo) and cant boot up.. Even recovery isnt working..

I tried to change my fonts with Type Fresh and now my phone won't even start.

It gets stuck at the first Nexus logo(4 color X). My recovery via bootloader-> power+trackball button

also not working. It gets back to the first menu after showing the Nexus X Logo for a split second

(under the option: "Fastboot . Recovery . Clear Storage . Simlock menu", i choose Recovery and press

power button but it goes back to "Bootloader. Reboot . Reboot Bootloader . Power Down" menu after

showing the Nexus X logo for a split second)

someone told me i should flash recovery via Fastboot.. Before this problem i flashed Cyanogen Mod Rc2 with Rom Manager

with no problems.. I am not sure if i did a backup via Amonra or Clockwork Recovery(i did one of it though) Can i flash a clockwork recovery via Ra-Nexus recovery and vice versa ? Is the recovery files universal ?

SO... since i used the 1-Click root method, my bootloader is

pretty much still locked.. But with this 1-Click root, i was able to use AmonRa and Clockwork Recovery

without unlocking bootloader at all.

Do i still have to unlock it to install this Ra Nexus(amonRa) recovery via Fastboot ?

i am on FRF91

Hboot -0.33.0012

Radio -4.06.00.12_7
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ctbear:
What are you using to uninstall those apps?

Try root explorer if you're not comfortable with adb
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mosch1979:
Hello

I installed universalandroot. Then I started the app and I clicked on the root button. The first click failed, the second click was sucessful and I get the root.

After that you have to look, if the superuser app was installed (On my LG it is shown in the seventh row of the app screen).

After that I installed at first busybox and then Titanium Backup.

With Titanium Backup its very easy to uninstall the all apps including the (system) apps which are installed by LG.

Two questions

1. How do I uninstall UniversalAndroot 1.5.3? If I want to try out a later version of UA, I assume I will need to uninstall the earlier version first. It does not appear to be a Market Place app (it does not appear in my MP download list), so that uninstall option is not available.

2. Does UA 1.5.3 or later work with SuperUser 2.3.5? I assume the SU version in UA 1.5.3 is pre 2.3.1 because the release notes of UA 1.6.1 says that it uses SU 2.3.1. I'm interested in SU 2.3.5 because it uses user names instead of the numeric UIDs.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DroidHack:
FRG22D Not Supported Yet

The latest UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta5.apk version, although it also states this on the official release page, does not root the Droid 1 with Froyo 2.2 and latest OTA update FRG22D. Easy Root also does not work as yet with FRG22D. So unless you want to loose root, do not update to FRG22D until it can be rooted. I made the mistake:mad:. Need to research OTA updates completely before applying. I think I can roll back to 2.01 using "unroot_2.01_update.zip", then apply 2.2 again and will be able to root. But I think I will just wait for the rooting version that will work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] DroidHack:
You should be able to uninstall Universal Androot by accessing settings, Manage Apps, All, select Universla Androot, then "click" uninstall. But I would think that you can download the latest version from this site and install over your existing version. And to download you either need to know how to connect your phone to your PC and copyd the downloaded file from you PC to your SDCard root directory, then use something like Astro to install the app. These root apps are not available from the market. I was able to download directly to my phone using my Dolphin browser. I then used Astro file manager to navigate to my download folder and install the app.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cangri87:
Just a quick question

ok so i read through some what all of these pages but kinda got confused.

if i use this, will it let me install for say clockwork or amon_ra recovery image? so i can flash a custom rom? or its just Root and thats it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kpjimmy:
Once you use this app, you can install any custom rom. I used this app and now run CM6 final with the mean and green theme. Great app and great idea!:)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cangri87:
thanks for the quick reply bro! :cool:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ddpete925:
After a long wait and hesitation, I installed univseral androot and it worked great on my Droid 1. However, I just received my FRG22D update and installed it. Now the universal androot doesn't work. When will we see an updated to Universal Androot that will included the Droid 2.2 FRG22D? Thanks in advance for the reply.

What is the soft root
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Filipus:
Explanations required for a newbie

Hello all,

I am not only new to the world of Android, but also to the Unix/Linux world, having spent most of my professional life working on the DOS/Windows platform. A lot of what I read here seems to make sense, but only if you have a basic - if not intermediate - knowledge of the Linux techno-babble... which I don't.

I'd like to gather enough information so I can publish a (hopefully) simple article for Windows users who want easy steps into rooting and using custom ROMs. Without having to learn what SU is, how to navigate through folders using archaic shell commands, and what not.

So... learning from my own experience so far...

I followed the steps to 1-click root my HTC Magic 32a. It apparently worked, with Universal Androot telling me my device is now rooted. I did it twice (after sorting through hundreds of posts to see if it could cause any damage, which it didn't), and I'm fairly confident I got that part done right.

However, being ever-doubtful, I wanted a second opinion as to whether my device is actually rooted. So I downloaded the latest Android SDK, added the Android 1.5 platform (which is what currrently runs on my Magic) and followed what seemed to be the most widely accepted recommendations. (Of course, my device has the proper USB drivers, I can see the SD card just fine from Windows Explorer, so I assume the *physical* connection is taken care of).

Going to the API's /tools subfolder, I type

adb devices

to which i get the following reply

HT95MNK03518 device

which seems to confirm my device is correctly identified.

Then, I try the following:

adb root

but all I get as a reply is:

adb cannot run as root in production builds

and the program hangs there. I have to kill it through the task manager to regain control of the DOS command prompt

My ultimate goal is to install Froyo on my Magic. Since I'm already stuck after this admittedly simple procedure, I'm kind of weary of attempting to go beyond and burn a new image onto the phone.

So can anyone tell me why ADB won't grant me root access even though the phone is supposedly rooted?

And as for the next steps, given my very basic knowledge of this environment, is there any Installing-ROMS-On-HTC-Magic-For-Dummies user's guide out there?

Thanks, and sorry for being long-winded.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] FuzzyBunnyFeet:
OK, yes I knew that. Sorry, I'm a noob and only saw that Manage Applications page once.

Thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bcking81:
Quick question. I was running this app on Cyanogen RC3 and it worked fine but when i updated the rom to 6.0 stable release for the nexus uinversal androot stopped working. im still rooted and have superuser permissons but the app is stuck on rooted and i get a fail message everytime. whether i choose root or unroot still get fail message. Anyone else encounter this problem? I have a N1 on cyanogen 6.0 stable release

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] flacens:
ok i think i did it....now my phone automatically rebooted with the cyanogen mod startup screen (blue thing going in circles) but it's stuck there and its been going for about 10 minutes now. Is this normal?

should i try pulling the battery and rebooting?

I'm on a MyTouch 3G Fender Edition
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Rusty!:
No it's not normal, the CM logo should only stay up as long as the original N1 logo did. I presume you remembered to wipe?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] flacens:
uh oh...i may not have wiped..

did i screw it up??
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] flacens:
ahhhhh tell mee i didn't brick it!!!! Pleeeease tell me i didnt brick it :/
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Rusty!:
It's not bricked, but you're going nowhere without a wipe. Get into recovery and perform one.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] kpjimmy:
hehe...no it's not bricked. Like the guy said, do a recov and you'll be fine. The only thing that is annoying is the time it takes to recover. lol.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] flacens:
OMG thank you those words just brought my heart rate down to normal!!!! i was crapping my pantss!!!!

yeah i went into recovery mode and tried to restore and it says successful, but when i hit reboot now....same thing...stuck at the cm screen.

So if i do a clean wipe do i lose my backup data? (really only my contacts i'm worried about)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] flacens:
Ok so i went in to recovery mode....did a wipe/restore factory data, then rebooted..

and it worked with CM6!!!!

so it's all good now. Thanks guys so much. I almost created a 500 dollar brick

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stshannon:
1 Click Root, unrEVOked, etc, are great apps. Makes rooting VERY easy, for MOST.

However, if you're one of the few that either updated and cant root, or have a device not yet supported, and you are hell bent on rooting, you can try CyanogenMod Wiki and root the old fashioned way.

I rooted my Nexus One a while back using this webpage, and rooted it the old fashioned way. Sure, was more difficult, and a longer procedure, but if you follow his instructions, step by step, things should go smooth.

OK gentlemen, I think I hit a wall here.

I installed 1.6.1 onto my Nexus One (running Froyo) this morning and rooted. Then I installed ROM Manager. I have not installed any ROMs.

When I chose "Back Up Current ROM" then screen went black with an orange exclamation point in an orange triangle with Andy standing beside it. Holding down power and volume down has no effect; in fact nothing seems to have an effect.

Debating pulling the battery out to reboot, but I'm concerned about making the problem worse.

I get an error message

I get this same error with the stable release and both RC's (RC2 & RC3)

I am reluctant to go further if I can not download the corresponding Google Apps, also I bought the premium version of the ROM Manager App for a full list of ROM's but no other ROM's showed up.

I will hold off on any ROM's for now....but I am happy to be rooted.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SBS_:
The only other full ROMs in there are the nightly builds, go into "Download ROM" and selct CyanogenMod Nightlies, choose the newest one and it should work fine. It could be a temporary problem with the server that hosts the Google Apps that is the reason you can't download them. I've never had any problem myself.
