If you have a usb cable and the sdk installed on your computer, do the following:

Put the awrecovery.img file in the Tools folder of the SDK

Boot your phone into the bootloader, not fastboot or recovery

Open the Command Prompt window and type

type cd\ (should have a c: prompt)

type cd\android-sdk-windows\tools (press enter)

type fastboot devices (press enter and make sure it sees your device)

type fastboot flash recovery awrecovery.img (enter and it should read OKAY & write OKAY)

type fastboot reboot (press enter)

now you are good to go!
[Nexus One Android Development] SubyWill:
i still couldn't get it to work through my computer, but i did it through terminal emulator and it worked perfectly!

thanks guys!:)
[Nexus One Android Development] mtw4991:
good for you. btw, do you have the latest android Software Developers Kit installed on your pc? If not, if won't work;)
[Nexus One Android Development] Talderon:
Mine shows:

Build : RA-nexus-v1.8.0.1
[Nexus One Android Development] SubyWill:
yeah, i downloaded the latest and i still can't get it to work.

i had problems a while ago installing the old sdk too. lol.

i just can't figure it out!:o
[Nexus One Android Development] b0dge:
Same here.
[Nexus One Android Development] imfloflo:
1.8.0 is for SLCD screen

1.8.0.1 is for both
[Nexus One Android Development] techlogik:
What? Explain please? So that means my screen is SLCD? When did they sell Amoled? I got my phone like 3 months ago.

Then why did 1.7.0.1 shows as such? Same thing for detecting the SLCD? Because they doesn't make sense then.
[Nexus One Android Development] androidjedi:
rom manager still shows old recovery and not new one flashed 1.8.0.

i tested it and did a backup using 1.8.0 yet still shows 1.7.0.1 in rom manager.

anyone experiencing this?or what silly thing am i doing
[Nexus One Android Development] androidjedi:
wtf please explain:confused:
[Nexus One Android Development] imfloflo:
you should ask @amon_ra on twitter directly maybe he will post this new update on the official thread soon too with explaination.

[Nexus One Android Development] MrCDWJR:
i flashed the second link of the OP (1.8.0.1) and all went well. did a nandroid and that worked as well.
[Nexus One Android Development] androidjedi:
Does this show in rom manager?
[Nexus One Android Development] MrCDWJR:
yep

tencharssss
[Nexus One Android Development] cmarti:
I flashed the 1.8.0 and it's working fine on my Nexus one.
[Nexus One Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Okay, I am confused, if someone has a SLCD screen on their nexus, would flashing the SLCD recovery allow you to flash any ROM you'd like? Or would you need a special version?
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
With terminal I just keep getting "flash_image not found"

????
[Nexus One Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
If you have an unlocked bootloader, move the recovery to the c:/android-sdk-windows/tools. Then flash via this while in fastboot usb mode:

cd c:/android-sdk-windows/tools
fastboot flash recovery awrecovery.img

If you don't folow the instructions on how to root without unlocking the bootloader, only follow the directions about manually flashing your recovery via adb. Just match with the appropriate file names and you should be good.
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Yeah I rooted without unlock...so I have to do the adb method then?

Adb isn't working on my pc anymore, always gives me issues.
[Nexus One Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Yeah, I guess you would have to. Try downloading the whole sdk, and installing all the 2.2 library's and such from sdk install.
[Nexus One Android Development] ellesshoo:
I guess the new version still requires zips to be in root directory? Browsing to deeper directories is the ONLY feature I would love added. Not a clockwork fan... damn.
[Nexus One Android Development] androidjedi:
rom manager keeps showing the older amon version 1.7 instead of 1.8 what the hell is going on -getting a bit frustrated. i have flashed it successfully but the damn rom manager keeps showing the older version.
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
Here's a flash_image.zip file. Just flash this and then you should be able to run

su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/awrecovery.img
reboot recovery

From Terminal Emulator.
[Nexus One Android Development] SiNJiN76:
Cool...I hope this version will fix my partitioning problems...
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Flash this in recovery? Then boot up phone, open terminal emulator and do the flash_image code?
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
Yes. It'll put the flash_image to your bin folder so you can run the command.
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
OK, just did that and when I did the flash_image recovery command I got:

mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00200000

EDIT-

Guess it worked. I did it a second time and it promoted down to # like it worked. I did reboot recovery and it said not permitted. I rebooted the phone and went in to recovery and its on Build : RA-nexus-v.1.8.0 so it must have.
[Nexus One Android Development] SiNJiN76:
How long is partition supposed to take...mines still going after 40 minutes. It's a 16GB card. I'm sure I remember last time it only took a minute or two. :confused:
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
My 8GB took a good bit of time....

With the old recovery that is, in case you were worried about using it on the new recovery.

Pretty sure 16GB should take a bit.
[Nexus One Android Development] SiNJiN76:
This is a bit of relief to hear. Thanks for the response on my concern. I guess, I'll just go get a beer then. :cool:
[Nexus One Android Development] ChronoReverse:
Only took a few minutes for my 16GB with the 1.7.0.1 IIRC.

If 1.8.0.1 doesn't seem to be problematic, I'm going to update.
[Nexus One Android Development] musashiken:
So is flashing the zip the same as the following steps in adb?

I can't flash the recovery like some of the others here so I have to move a flash_image file into the bin??

I did the above steps while trying to achieve root without unlocking my bootloader. But doesn't that mean there's already a flash_image in my system bin?

EDIT: Well I just flashed the flash_image.zip and flashed the recovery thru terminal. Worked like a charm and I'm on 1.8.0.1 :D
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
I'm not sure I understand you. Why can't you flash the flash_image using the flash_image.zip file I provided?

Edit:

We must of posted at the same time, I see you managed to get it working.
[Nexus One Android Development] musashiken:
Yeah I was figuring out whether those steps I wrote is the same as flashing your zip since you mentioned that it was for flashing the flash_image into system bin.

Those steps were taken from the time when someone first created the method to root the N1 without unlocking the bootloader. It looked like it was trying to push the flash_image into system bin... and I figured that if I had done that a long time ago, the flash_image should still be in /system/bin... but apparently it no longer is.
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Where is 1.8.0.1? I clicked the link in the OP but it was gibber lol. No file, just a LOT of text...
[Nexus One Android Development] musashiken:
Erm, I downloaded the second link from OP... try right-clicking the link and saving as?

Edit: Also, I don't use Rom Manager so I have no idea what version of RA it is detecting. All I know is in RA Recovery main screen, I see blue and I see "1.8.0.1"
[Nexus One Android Development] dark79:
I tried 1.8.0.1 but USB-MS toggle wouldn't work. Flashed 1.8.0 and it works fine.
[Nexus One Android Development] Geo411m:
I just tried it and it didn't work the first time I tried but when I tried again it worked.
[Nexus One Android Development] NguyenHuu:
usb mount works fine on .1, just tested, worked the first time too.
[Nexus One Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
ANYONE? I have the possibility of getting one on my next refurb. . .
[Nexus One Android Development] dark79:
Strange. I tried it 3 times and got nothing. But 1.8.0 worked the first time.

I guess I'll wait to see what was changed in 1.8.0.1 to decide whether or not it's really necessary.
[Nexus One Android Development] SiNJiN76:
That's what I thought...I was pretty sure it only took a few minutes before. So, do you think my SD card is bad? I tried to partition with 1.7 and 1.8...oh, with Rom Manager as well.

Any other alternative for me? I'm using W7.

Could it be because I'm using Froyo Apps2sd? I just formatted my card...and when I rebooted...the apps were still there.
[Nexus One Android Development] NguyenHuu:
the thing i liked about clockwork recovery was you can flash unsigned, but now we can do that with amon_ra too so i dont need to switch, so good. i do a lot of editing removing/adding stuff now i dont have to waste time resignin it all. i just did a test with the latest nightly, removing a bunch of apps that i dont use and flashed it fine without sign, cool.
[Nexus One Android Development] dnsmo:
test 1.8.0.1 and it's working for me. thanks for the info.
[Nexus One Android Development] simms22:

can someone make this installable via recovery flash? i'm trying to download the img using my phone and it keeps opening up in my browser. at work and can't wait to get home to install it :p

[Nexus One Android Development] RinTinTigger:
Flashed 1.8.0.1 myself now, flashing was just fine, USB-MS toggle went without problems!

So, no danger there =)
[Nexus One Android Development] incredulous:
No, it's the other way around.

Just correcting this because alot of people after this post have gotten confused.

1.8.0 will only work on AMOLED devices.

1.8.0.1 will work on AMOLED AND SLCD devices.

:)
[Nexus One Android Development] incredulous:
No, you can flash the 1.8.0.1 recovery but as of now, there are still no custom ROM's that support the SLCD screen.

You would have to stick to shipped FRF91 until someone released an SLCD ROM.
[Nexus One Android Development] SubyWill:
just flashed 1.8.0.1, everything is working good so far :)
[Nexus One Android Development] RinTinTigger:
same here - no errors
[Nexus One Android Development] FormelLMS:
yeah, thanks RinTinTigger!

Works like a charm!
[Nexus One Android Development] knightnz:
Flashed via fastboot, working fine here. Not sure how happy I am with the prospect of no signature verification, but I guess it can't flash to the HBOOT or Recovery itself, so worst case scenario it'd mean a nandroid restore.

I do prefer the colour.
[Nexus One Android Development] ermacwins:
are signatures checks comepletly disabled?
[Nexus One Android Development] RinTinTigger:
regarding the little release information we got - yes
[Nexus One Android Development] fiftyclick:

[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:

All they have to do is update the kernel so it supports Sony TFT...

I'll release a newer recovery for the N1 here on XDA soon (toggle verification, etc...) , this recovery was a custom one for AW...

[Nexus One Android Development] rob_2010:
thanks & quick question

I'm a noob & had just flashed a 1.7 version of recovery onto my SLCD nexus one (vodafone) & been met with the blank screen problems earlier in this thread. Thanks incredulous for the neat summary. I'm going to wait until there are ROMS available to flash - then I'd like to tryto get ubuntu running using VNCserver.

One thing I'm not quite clear on at the moment - is doing the 'superboot' procedures (after the fastboot procedures) a necessary step before flashing a new ROM, or is it an alternative? (ie a one-click method of rooting) I thought the whole process of flashing the Cmod is to root the nexus one?! or am I missing something? If I can root without flashing a new ROM, can I go ahead with NexusOneHacks' ubuntu procedure ?

thanks in advance
[Nexus One Android Development] rob_2010:
A user in another forum suggests that the cm6 Rom for hboot 0.35 (megaupload.com/?d=VLBH27Z0) works with the SLCD screen, can someone experienced verify this please?

[Nexus One Android Development] Bryce2010:
After that I did the command to reboot into recovery and it still had the old version. So I rebooted and tried again and it appears to have worked.

Rebooting into recovery shows I have 1.8.0.1, it looks different (cyan color and android background).

But ROM manager says I have the old version still?
[Nexus One Android Development] aam6906:
yea i tried that and i still have 1.7.0.1

nevermind i got it to work
[Nexus One Android Development] PSeeCO:
(you must have the flash_image file in the tools dir of your android sdk)

adb push flash_image /system/bin

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

cd /system/bin

chmod 755 flash_image

./flash_image recovery /sdcard/file.img

rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p

rm flash_image
[Nexus One Android Development] Bryce2010:
that's good

do you have rom manager? what version does it say you have?

another poster said it showed 1.7.0.1 when he had installed 1.8.0.1

but then another poster said rom manager did say 1.8.0.1:confused:

Anyone managed to successfully partition a 32GB SD Card with the new RA Recovery?

It's obvious I have 1.8.0.1 when in recovery mode but rom managar (the free version) says I have the old one 1.7.0. I wouldnt really care except another poster said rom manager did say 1.8.0.1...

what is the objective of flashing this recovery.img ? i didn't see a changelog, and since the author didn't release it, i wonder if it's a good idea to use .. ya know ?
[Nexus One Android Development] NguyenHuu:
the dev did release, he even posted in here to confirm it is real. he made it custom for another website that is why he didnt release officially to the public. it works fine. it only has 2 changes. 1) menu looping so if you scroll to the bottom it will automatically take you back to the top and vice-versa. 2) it allows for flashing without verification of signatures, so you do not have to resign update packages, kinda like clockworks.

I have a new nexus one which i believe has a SLCD screen.

I did the 1 click root method and then installed ROM manager. I want to install CM6 RC3. When the phone boots into the recovery menu, all i get is a black screen. . .

Also folder navigation in menus would be interesting
[Nexus One Android Development] phanompin23:
Hm. Really? Wow.

Sometimes nandroid restores my old backups just fine, and sometimes it doesn't. I'll get that message telling me I have to use adb to restore. And I'm not aware of how much battery is left.

So its just a battery power issue then, when nandroid fails???
[Nexus One Android Development] applejosh:
I can't speak for all nandroid issues, but when I got the cannot restore warning, it was because of a low battery (tried the exact same file to restore after some charging time, and it worked fine). Other than that (and some MD5 hash mismatches when using another recovery), I can't say I've had any other issues with nandroid (in Amon_Ra).
[Nexus One Android Development] RinTinTigger:
it does check the battery loading. caus imagine you restore a system and in the middle of /system/data battery goes empty ^^
[Nexus One Android Development] applejosh:
I wasn't doubting that, and it makes perfect sense. Just commenting that that was the only "error" I'd ever seen using nandroid under amon_ra.

Sent from my Nexus One
[Nexus One Android Development] Amon_RA:
Nandroid checks if your battery is at least 30%, if it's below that it will fail.

You can check the recovery log for the exact details why nandroid failed.
