[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bootsector_:
Yes, this is a normal behavior.

For stock ROMs, you guys should rename the following file, using any root enabled program (i.e. Terminal Emulator + busybox or Root Explorer):

/system/etc/install-recovery.sh (rename to something like install-recovery.sh.bak)

This script restores the stock recovery flash everytime the device boots. By renaming it, the recovery memory will remain untouched upon reboot.

Hope this helps!

Ty u guys for clearing this up.

How do I run a apk pack once i down load it on the phone or sd card?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] KRIZDUEL:
Anyone tried this with enom's latest rom?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Zdeuce4:
someone plz help me.

i did all of the steps for rooting and whatnot and got passed that, but i cannot get the rom to flash now. even tried to update the radio as well. i just keep getting errors now.. what am i doing wrong? the recovery portion says it is failing.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] habs101:
what if you want just to root to have access to some commands etc?

does this do it for u while running stock 2.2?

Or do u have to install a new OS?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] r3ix84:
Hi. I have one doubt. This works on my htc magic 32A and im rooted. If i want to install cm6, i have to flash the froyo radio first and the then install cm6 with rom manager? Will not brick my phone when i flash a new radio and then turn on my phone to then open rom manager?

Best regards
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] woowoowooty:
HELP !!!

I have been trying to root for a while now and have't been successful. I want to try this method but still don't really understand how to actually do it. Do I download the file, open it with 7-zip, copy the files and move them to my phone? If that is the way to do it, do I have to do anything once it is on my phone? :confused:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Rusty!:
Download the file, copy it "as is" to the SD card and use something like ASTRO to browse to and install it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ctbear:
Enom's rom is already rooted

What error exactly?

On Nexus One, yes. I assume it should be similar on other devices?

I suggest you ask at CM thread
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] woowoowooty:
Rusty, I have it on the SD card but I can't figure out how to install it. I have searched all through Astro and can't figure out how to install it. Do you know how??
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Rusty!:
Yeah just tap on the file, pick open with app manager, then tap install.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] woowoowooty:
I've tried that 100 times and it doesn't show up anywhere in the App manager/backup. It is on the sd card, but I have no way of opening it or installing it. Did I do something wrong?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Rusty!:
Guess so :confused:

When you've installed it with ASTRO, you should be presented with 2 options, "Done" and "Open"

Guess which one you should pick? :D

Just checked on mine though, after installing, I have a Universal Androot app in the launcher... has an orange padlock for an icon.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] woowoowooty:
The whole problem is that I am NOT able to install it. I understand that it needs to be opened once it is installed, but I haven't figured out how to install it. I have gone to almost every screen on Astro and tried every kind of way of installing/opening it to no avail. I did what you said about going to app manager/backup, but didn't find the file anywhere. The file is on the sd card, but from there I can't install it. :eek:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] A-Rob-25:
How long should the wait be for wipe and install? at the triangle and ! screen for about 20min?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] enlothien:
Well this is what I did.

First time tried installing CM 6 I was brought to the screen with the triangle and the exclamination mark. Chicken out so I rebooted.

So thru Rom Manager I tried reinstalling Clockwork.

Then Choose install ROM from SD.

It will promt you to back up and wipe. check both this boxes then proceed.

Next it will boot to recovery and everything is taken care of. In no time you will be running the custom rom.

cheers
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ZhenMing:
Just wonder, if rooted the N1.. but maintain the ori ROM... but with SU permission... will that be wise to do?

If you have install the custom ROM and then later you restore your ori backup ROM... how do you unroot it again?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] existonz09:
u guys using the free version of ROM manager ? so i just rooted with this .. so what do i have to do to get Cyanogen Rc2 ? me a noob.. hope someone can guide a foolproof way.. :) AND YES !! QUESTION: Nandroid backup is only accessible after root ? Before root not possible to nandroid ?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] enlothien:
Follow my earlier post

Get cm6 rc2 from xda development section place at the root of your card

Open rom manager install clockwork reboot into recovery do nandroid
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris6278:
Its really easy to install cm6 rc 2 just use the app to root ur phone, download rom manager from the market i would suggest the paid version, open rom manger an flash clockworkmod recovery, go to backup current rom an backup the rom ur usin now, then go to download rom an choose cyanogenmod 6.0 rc 2 press download an then it will ask if u want to download google apps an choose ok, let the two things download, when its done it will ask u if u wanna do a backup an wipe data an cache just choose data an cache since u already backedup ur current rom, an once u hit ok it will take u to recovery an start flashing cyanogenmod an google apps, the phone will reboot when its done an then welcome to cyanogenmod
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Atento:
Here root didn't work. I downloaded and installed UniversalAndroot. Then I open it and selected Root.

Then I received a message that I'm rooted. Ok, I went to Market and downloaded ROM Manager. I open it and selected Apply ClockworkMod, then I received a message: "An error occurred while attempting to execute privileged commands".

So, I'm rooted or no? How do I know if it works?

EDIT: Sorry. I got Clockwork now. I forgot to mark to remember my decision to allow access. Thanks a lot.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] MishFdM:
Can you see the app named "Superuser Permission" on your phone ?

If you can, you have root.

Every app at first run ask root permission, also Rom Manager should ask it.

EDIT: Ok, I see :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris6278:
If u have the superuser permissions app in ur app drawer than ur rooted. If ur havin problems flashing clockworkmod recovery go to the very bottom if rom manager an flash an older version of clockworkmod then go to the top an flash the current one again. That should help hopefully
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nexgoose:
i'm stuck on re-boot "X"????

what gives???
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Baldyl0cks:
Thanks for the great post cicrockets!

can anyone confirm for me before I do this (im scared!) if theres a CM6+ rom in the rom manager download section with a black notification bar? and if not, can i just download any rom i want from XDA, put it on my SD card and then install it using rom manager? (once recovery steps have been done)

Thanks in advance to anyone answering my post :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris6278:
U can change the color of ur notification bar when u get cm6. I changed mine to black
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Baldyl0cks:
Is it an option that comes on cm6? or do i need to download something extra?

Thanks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris6278:
It comes with cm6
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] cicrockets:
You could also find a random desire theme in the Theme and Apps section here that says it is compatible with the version of CM you are flashing. Download that in addition to everything else. After choosing the CM zip to flash and adding the gapps, add a third zip and choose the theme zip that you downloaded.

For example, I'm always flashing nightlies, so what I do is:

1. Download the nightly off cyanogenmod.com/nightly/passion/

2. Download gapps from the extras in ROM Manager

3. Download JD's theme

4. Go into ROM Manager and flash from sd card

5. Navigate to my download folder and select the nightly

6. Add the gapps from clockworkmod/kanged.net/gapps

7. Add a third zip, which is the theme in my downloads folder

8. Click ok and clear cache and data

I don't nandroid backups because that would take too long for every nightly. I do back up some app data with Titanium Backup though. But anyone flashing a rom over a stable/stock rom should definitely backup.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] auramae:
I was stuck there for some time as well. pulled the battery and started over and things went perfectly.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Chance Ill:
I know this is highly unlikely, but can anyone confirm that this app can LOCK the bootloader??
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] vios06:
kudos to the developer!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Bnorus:
Thanks and cheer to ctbear and cicrockets ! Awesome stuff there ! Now I can put my girlfriend on CM6 with no fear ^^

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Kingken:
I am struck on step 4.. error msg: An error occurred while attemping to run privileged commands.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ctbear:
No...just tab on the .apk, and you should have an option to install it...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Zdeuce4:
awesome. glad u came into ask..

the recovery keeps failing. i downloaded cyan 5 and the gapps thing. i cannot get passed the recovery. so basically just reinstalled everything with titanium backup until i get some guidance to move on. after rooting, downloading everything and waiting for it to wipe and go thru recovery it always fails and then i get the triangle screen with the exclamation point. where do i go from here?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Rusty!:
This may sound harsh, but if you're struggling to install a .apk, are you sure root access is for you?

I already explained how to do it, tap the file, open in app manager, hit the install button.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ctbear:
Sounds like your custom recovery is not sticking. Check this post for solution :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris6278:
Dude go to *download* in astro scroll down to universal androot an press on it u will see two options the one u want is open app manager so press that then press install an there u go. Its not that complicated
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Zdeuce4:
ok i actually saw, that. so where in the file is that actual file so that i can go rename it?

i have terminal emulator but im not sure how to use it to rename a file.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] big nu:
bootloader

@ ctbear,

Will I still have access to the bootloader?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] woowoowooty:
Chris, I am not a dude. I am not an idiot either. Here is the deal folks. I am about to give up on the rooting thing. The only reason I am trying to root in the first place is because my phone isn't working properly because of the limited internal memory. I have uninstalled all of the apps that I can and there still isn't enough internal memory. I was rooting so I can uninstall all of the apps that cell south put on the phone and free up enough memory so my phone will work properly. I wasn't rooting so I could do a bunch of crazy things to my phone. EVERY method I have tried hasn't worked. This last one, the "one touch" method, seemed easy, but didn't work either. There are three links at the bottom of the page. I downloaded the last one, which was the latest version. I copied it onto the SD card. The problem is that there is not an .apk in the file itself. That is why I couldn't open or install it. OK, there it is. I am a new to rooting, but am definitely computer literate. I understand you all are frustrated with me but all I want is a little help so I can get my phone to work properly.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ctbear:
Have you tried downloading with your computer instead of your phone?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ctbear:
hmm....I'm not sure what you mean?

This app does not touch the bootloader
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Rusty!:
What do you mean "in the file itself" ?

The file you download is an apk. You don't do anything with it other than bung it on your SD card.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] efrant:
1) Go to Menu->Settings->Applications and make sure there is a check mark on Unknown sources.

2) Download the file in the attachment onto your computer.

3) Transfer the file over to the root directory of your memory card on your device.

4) Install Astro File Manager from here (using your device): market://search/?q=pname:com.metago.astro

5) Start the Astro application once it is installed.

6) Navigate to the root directory of your memory card (i.e., /mnt/sdcard).

7) Click once on the file and then click on "Open App Manager".
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] woowoowooty:
That is what I did. Downloaded the file to my computer and then moved the file onto the SD card on the phone. There are three links on the page. I am supposed to download only one file, the most recent? I did that and there doesn't appear to be an .apk in the file. I thought that was the whole point of a "one click" root. Isn't the .apk supposed to be in that file?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] efrant:
The file IS the .apk... Use the one in my post above. Again, the file itself IS an .apk file.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ctbear:
I'm guessing you unpacked the apk
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] woowoowooty:
All of you are about to be amazed....I FINALLY DID IT !!!! Thanks to efrant, rusty and everyone else that helped me. I really appreciate everyone's patience with me. Have a great day !!!!!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Rusty!:
Thank god for that lol

I was talking about the fastboot, recovery, bootloader etc. (White screen)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] franklinvv:
I can confirm that this worked on a Vodafone HTC Magic (from the Netherlands), with Android 1.6 and a perfected SPL. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] r3ix84:
yes, on my htc magic 32A with perfect spl too and i am rooted with all root rights working but i want to know how i install cm6 on precious phone and what i have to do step by step. I have a few doubts:

1º - After i rooted my htc magic, i have to download rom manager and then flash clockwordmod recovery or Ra recovery 1.7??

2º - Then i have to download and do a froyo radio update right to cm6 work? If yes, how and will not brick my phone when turn on?

3º - i presume the update froyo's radio is before i install the 2.2 rom. If i update radio and the phone works, then is only install the cm6, port and Gapps all together with rom manager??

I need help please because i have tried so many times install a custom rom and i failed always(thanks god a do always a backup). I want to leave 1.5 stock rom
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] woowoowooty:
I am sure you all don't want to hear from me anymore, but I have another question. I want to delete the apps that were pre-loaded on the phone by cell south. I downloaded root explorer and when I tried to delete apps, it said the file is "read only". How do I get around that?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] r3ix84:
have you already download titanium backup? if not, download it and then delete whatever you want. If you have any problems or error to use the program, you have to download busybox inside titanium.

SOMEONE DON'T FORGET MY LAST POST ;)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] r3ix84:
to complete my post with my doubts, i have this app installed but in my settings i have:

I need help, i want really cm6
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ctbear:
I don't think you can use fastboot with locked bootloader but anything else is fine

Kyocera ZIO

I was able to sucessfully root a kyocera zio with the 1.6.2 beta5 by copying the apk over to the memory card and running it with a file explorer app. I also tried emailing the app to the zio, but it wouldn't give the install option. this is just an fyi for the list of devices reported to be rootable with 1 click root.

Hi all,

I am currently a new nexus one user with a non-rooted phone. I would like to seek your advise as I would like to root to cyanogenmod and korean radio with the 1-click root.

I was advised to use the following steps:

1. 1-click root

2. Install CM6

3. Google apps, GAPPS

4. FRG33 radio. (mainly wanted to root to get this for better reception)

However i was stucked at custom recovery. after the following command:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

< waiting for device >

and i am stuck here. and i couldnt find a solution for days.

Please advise!

Regards
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Rusty!:
You can't fastboot with a locked bootloader, you need flash_image
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dunstopthemusic:
can you advise how to do that?

i have installed android sdk.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] chris6278:
U cant use fastboot unless u unlock ur bootloader but download rom manager from the market so u can flash clockworkmod recovery an then youll be able to install cm6 an the frg33 radio
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dunstopthemusic:
thanks chris for the info.

just to double check, can i update radio (5.08) without flashing to CM6?

means FRG33 on stock froyo2.2, FRF91
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Rusty!:
Yes, radio is completely seperate to the rest, I have the 5.08 radio on FRF91 (which is how the Korean and Euro N1's come anyway).

Ok, so I installed this - and only this... and uninstalled this because I could no longer access Downloads in the Market. I get a message that says "No downloads from Android Market" and then a message box appears over it saying that a server error has occurred.

SO, now I have no idea what to do... I had only chosen a temp root, and I've rebooted my phone.... Then uninstalled. Still have the same error.

I reinstalled Universal Androot, it said I wasn't rooted. I redid the soft root, went back into market - same issue. I have gone back into Universal Androot, undid the root... Tells me I'm not rooted now. I am going to reboot phone again and see if it works... This is going to be a pain in the butt, since you need to get to the Downloads in the Market in order to see any updates to the software you have installed.

I'm on a Motorola Milestone /w 2.1 (Telus - Canada)

Nope, still not working. Go into the Market and there are apps I have installed that say there is an update too... So, it's only broken the Downloads button in the Market... And I am not getting a notification in the notification bar any longer saying there are updates to install.
