[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CBConsultation:
Also, you need to flash CW at least twice for it to take.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Not necessarily, it only took once for me.

I think the reason he's having problems is because he flashed the recovery before perm rooting. You're not supposed to attempt a recovery flash while only temp rooted.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
First thing's first. Pull the battery for about a minute. Reinstall it then plug in the phone but don't try to boot. If the orange light comes on that's good. If not you might be in trouble but all hope is not lost yet.

This is your best bet. Re-image it completely and start over, this time READ THE ENTIRE TUTORIAL BEFORE TOUCHING IT!! :rolleyes:

ADB probably won't be much help since he's not perm-rooted; it won't let him do anything. Just re-image the sucker.

In order to perform a nandroid backup you need:

1. Perm root, NOT temp root, PERM ROOT.

2. S-OFF so you can successfully flash clockwork recovery.

Not trying to be harsh just want to be perfectly clear.

Yup.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
Hey I was wandering if it was possible to buy new shells for the hero because for some reason my volume rocker is getting messed up its not responsive when I press up it works but barely or is there another fix for this.
[XPERIA X8 General] clenchy:
HI Guys,

Im a bit of a newbie on the rotting front.

Ive done some reading up on rooting that seems pritty simple and i get what it does BUT if i root my phone will it change its appreance in any way or the way it works by default if i dont change any thing. As the only reason i want to root my phone is to get rid of the ****ty apps that come on it.

also if i root it can i update to gingerbread?

All answers welcome
[XPERIA X8 General] HAKA:
see....this is a very common asked question,

if you root your phone by propc method Link, it will give you a gingerbread theme.

but if you root your phone directly, then you will have same appearance, only there will be a Super User Permission app.

and you asked about gingerbread ROM, you wont get it now.

bcoz there is no custom ROM for it. developers are working hard to get it. so you need to wait for some time.

rooting is absolutely safe if you follow each step carefully.

i will recommend you to use this guide. Link

hope you succeed! :)
[Desire General] Spark2_fr:
Hello,

Who know the Desire MP4 decoding capabilities ?

What profile/bandwidth/settings should I use for best video quality ?

Thanks
[Nexus One General] KROMO50:
I wake up everyday looking for news about 2.3 getting released. I am on 2.2.1 so I lost the ability to root. So i hope this comes out soon and if anyone has any info please post.
[Nexus One General] rcknr:
Officially it should come out in "coming weeks" as this tweet suggests - http://twitter.com/googlenexus/status/16974464310845440.

But there's a way to root your 2.2.1 anyways. Follow this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8315805&postcount=2
[Nexus One General] Dirk:
SuperOneClick works great if you still want root.
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
Just unlock your bootloader.
[Nexus One General] KROMO50:
I have tried the super one click no luck
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
Other than unlocking, which is the preferred and safest way to do it. You could just follow the guide that was linked here. I did it for my friend just last week because he was afraid of the official way to root for some reason. It worked perfectly.
[Nexus One General] Memnoch30:
Yeah I did it the rageagainstthecage way.
[Nexus One General] jhektour:
nope but i read about 2.4 just google for:

google-ice-cream-android-2-4

cant post links
[Nexus One General] musashiken:
My sig says it all...
[Nexus One General] DumbUglyDragon:
Odd, are you sure you have the latest Super One Click? It worked fine for me 2.2.1 N1 on T-Mobile.
[Nexus One General] Dirk:
Works fine for me. Did you get stuck at the looping problem after following the steps in the OP?

The way around that, as many of us have discovered, is to turn the phone off then run SuperOneClick and select 'root'. Turn the phone back on once 'waiting for device..' is shown in the program and then just leave it until it finishes.

Ensure USB debugging is enabled before you get started and that your PC has the required drivers installed. (Check Device Manager).

To be fair the Original Post needs updating as the instructions aren't very good without the above being mentioned.
[Nexus One General] frandavid100:
Dumb question but, does that method allow you to install custom roms (e.g. CM7) without unlocking the bootloader, thus keeping the warranty?
[Nexus One General] LFact:
Using exploit to root allows you to get rooted device without unlocking the bootloader. However, I cannot tell you 'your warranty is kept' for certain(as long as bootloader is locked and you can revert to stock, I think it's okay).
[Nexus One General] herrwinkler:
This does not unlock the boot loader....... and, yes you can flash roms once rooted.

Good luck on that warrenty buisness.
[Nexus One General] frandavid100:
If you do revert to stock there should be no way to tell you ever modified the rom, isn't that right?
[Nexus One General] michel-slm:
Unfortunately you can only relock the bootloader on Nexus S, according to a Google Android developer
[Nexus One General] andynx1:
Is this "official" though? It's been 23 days since that post.

We'll get it, but I'm just bored of waiting. With so much anticipation, we'll probably be disappointed. Hope not.
[Nexus One General] akusokuzan:
His question isn't about relocking the bootloader. But as long as you reflash the stock ROM and recovery, then I don't think there would be a way to tell without further examination. Regardless, HTC isn't too strict with the warranty claims, as many members on this forum have claimed warranty and sent back rooted phones to HTC. You should be fine.
[Nexus One General] geemaan:
that's 3 weeks. "coming weeks" being a PR equivalent of more than a month, we should be waiting for gb another 2 weeks at least...
[Nexus One General] James Bell:
It's only 5% of GB, but you can have the keyboard from it. A definite improvement and works perfectly on my N1 with 2.2.1 (no root needed):

[Nexus One General] Salival:
For me, this is not fair from Google, why customers never know date of new version of OS? This is so stupid!
[Nexus One General] Dirk:
Well said.
[Nexus One General] draugaz:
Of course it is not fair. It is just a sane decision on their part.

By telling the exact release date google would instantly put themselves under the pressure to deliver. Or face even bigger torrent of mockery and whines. Why should they?
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Not fair? How so?

You were never ever promised an upgrade when you bought the phone. You have no "right" to an upgrade from Google, so stop acting like you do.

The software updates we have received are voluntary on Google's part and we should be thankful for them.

I'm tired of this entitled whiny "why not us yet" ****. Seriously, it is BEYOND old.

If you want to run GB there are PLENTY of roms to choose from over in the dev section. So, go flash one, and shut up.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
The amount of complaints about Gingerbread on the Nexus, especially on this forum are astounding. I honestly believed the majority of people here would take action and simply root their phones instead of complaining. You can whine all you want, but after you've noticed that it hasn't came after a month of "promise" the obvious solution to your problem would be to either root or give up. You could even leave the Nexus entirely if need be.

Will we be doing this for Honeycomb as well? Or "Ice Cream"?
[Nexus One General] Tiberx:
After rooting my phone took tried a couple Roms. So far cm7 Rome seems to work the best for gb like roms.
[Nexus One General] Salival:
You are right, but, if you look at Apple, they announce weeks before update, but Google, announce and nobody know nothing. Only that update coming, when? Coming weeks. this is not answer for such a large and powerful company
[Nexus One General] Axefield:
Really? I bet you have not tried MicroMods AOSP Gingerbread ROM. That has much better batterylife and overall its working fine and without dialer wonkiness.

Anyway, I'm using CM7 as well, because of nightly updates.
[Nexus One General] Tiberx:
I tried them too. I'm using CM7 which seems pretty good. I haven't got the wonkiness at all not since I formated my sd from 64kb cluster + ext3 to default phone format + ext back at build 1-2.

For people having the wonkiness on their android I recommend a Complete level 4 psychoanalysis.
[Nexus One General] offenberg:
They say N1 is old and outdated. I still think its the best phone out there when you look at both hardware/software. It has got the best devs and roms.

Froyo on N1 is still amazing. What is it GB provides, we want so much? Updates are allways nice, but its not like you get a new phone.

N1 froyo vs. NS gingerbread = N1 win for me. I do not want a plastic banana.

Sorry. But of course, no one would say no to gingerbread. Taste like happy.
[Nexus One General] ecapox:
Ahh...The Internet. Where even idiots have a voice.

In real life, these people would be ridiculed and made to shut up and wait. The sense of entitlement on the internet is amazing.

Cry, complain, and wait. I'll enjoy what i have an ridicule you and your sadness.
[Nexus One General] KROMO50:
Nightly 16 has been the best for me
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
I still think the update is coming. Froyo took over a month to come just like this, so I don't understand all the complaining. Though they are running out of time.

One thing that troubles me is What this means for the android platform. If Google can't even easily update 2 of It's phones that they have complete control over, then no wonder the rest of manufacturers are having so much trouble. It should be as easy as apple does it respective to 2 nexus phones. There's no excuse.
[Nexus One General] :
It takes Apple 1 year to get a major update out.

It's been one month since 2.3 was finalized.

Apart from that, you can't compare the two OS's as they are managed completely different.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Closer to two months.
[Nexus One General] :
Fair enough.

Still, you can't really compare android's modal development with iOS' vertically integrated development.
[Nexus One General] salamandar:
WOW! Asshole much? Talk about pretentious prick.
[Nexus One General] decodecoding:
Android event on February 2nd. Let's hope they say something. Anyone attending?

http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/28/google-announces-android-event-for-february-2nd/
[Nexus One General] yunlin12:
What do we think Google is using to finalize 2.3? Wasn't the N1 one of the reference phones? Call me crazy for expecting Google to be using it to do significant amount of testing of 2.3. Or was Google using some other super secret phone to test 2.3, and are only now getting busy to make it work for N1:rolleyes:
[Nexus One General] :
The OS was finalized, which doesn't require any actual testing(technically).

When a software update gets pushed out to customers of a device, they must be tested for full compatibility, you can't just push out whatever. Drivers/libraries/kernel were redone for 2.3, and they must be tested over weeks worth of time.
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
How exactly do you finalize software without testing it? That's not how development works. That last several weeks before release are nothing but testing and bug fixing. Testing is an ongoing part of the development process.

The only likely explanation for the delay I've heard is that Gingerbread was rushed to get the NS out by Christmas, and major bugs such as this are now holding up the N1 release.
[Nexus One General] :
I obviously meant hardware testing, which isn't required to cut the AOSP line.
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
That still doesn't make sense. The N1 hardware hasn't changed. The kernel and drivers are all part of the software that are tested along with everything else as the changes were made. Third party hardware drivers wouldn't be tested during development, but the N1 and NS have to be since they are the phones being used by the developers.
[Nexus One General] :
Yea, you're right, they're holding on to the finished update so they can look bad.

Makes more sense.
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
Sure. I mean that's not at all what I said, but if that's what you want to think I said then go right ahead.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
If memory serves, at the D: Dive Into Mobile thing where 2.3/the NS were announced, Andy Rubin did say that the NS would be given an exclusivity period, so if any one does hold that opinion, they only have themselves to blame.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Word.

Might be other bugs, though - non-fatal, but not "presentable" either.
[Nexus One General] Babydollll:
I also remember. Andy Rubin making that statement. It does make sense that they would give the NS a period of exclusivity. But, who knows? (Google actually, but they ain't sayin')

Somehow I can't find such a statement, even anything remotely similar.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Rats, maybe it wasn't him, but I remember someone in a video saying it.
[Nexus One General] Shivammcool:
I was once like you all but I changed. I could not wait so I rooted my fone and have now cm 6.1.1. The. Soon ill get cm7
[Nexus One General] Babydollll:
I'm afraid of change.

I'm not sure where I sent this from.... or how I did it
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
Didn't the engadget interview say that majority of gingerbread was developed on the nexus one, then they decided they needed a phone to put on it, and went to Samsung for the nexus s.
[Nexus One General] MENDEH:
the existence of this video is what makes me so mad at google. they obviously have had it working for a long time now.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVb-IzUuiZY
[Nexus One General] draugaz:
It just says nothing about how good it was working. For example, it can be just the same AOSP build with all its problems. But you still can make a nice video :)
[Nexus One General] dan1431:
I suspect (and I have no evidence to back up my suspicion other than my experience with software updates and UAT) that during UAT for Gingerbread for the N1 El Goog may have discovered a show stopper that required them to go back and rewrite some code, thus delaying the whole process by weeks/months.

In my industry stuff like this happens all the time and we have to contact our customer and let them know what is happening and are estimated ETA for an updated release date. I would love El Goog to be more transparent and keep us (the consumer) informed, but they do not really have any obligation to.

I am anxious for the update myself and I do get annoyed with El Goog from time to time about their silence on the subject, but I do remind myself that this is a software for a smartphone and not something supper important like a major defect in my car.

Dan
[Nexus One General] G0belet:
AOSP wouldn't have any problems if the gingerbread drivers were released. Most of the wonkiness comes from workarounds for the lack of real drivers.
[Nexus One General] decodecoding:
Totally agree
[Nexus One General] draugaz:
It is just a question if such drivers really do exist at the quality required for public release. I don't know this.

It is one thing if some stupid camera driver occasionally guts your entire flash storage on your development device. And completely another thing if it does it on the released device. Even if the probability is 1:10000.
[Nexus One General] skunz35:
If I still used my nexus one(hd2 is now my daily) I would be pretty mad by this point, I mean in the time gingerbread has been out I've ran froyo and gingerbread on my hd2 for almost a month and now I've been running WP7 for almost 2 weeks, Google needs to stop acting like the nexus one is some red headed step child
[Nexus One General] DumbUglyDragon:
Well in that sense, we've been running Gingerbread on the Nexus One also. Just root lol. I was anxious too, but hey, if they do better than the Samsung Captivate update, I'm okay with it lol. There isn't that much improvement from Gingerbread to be having a hissy fit about. Our phones still work, do they not? They did patch the SMS bug, and pretty quickly at that. I don't think Google has forgotten about the Nexus One, but there is truely an software/hardware issue preventing them from releasing Gingerbread as of now.
[Nexus One General] skunz35:
Yeah that's true the gingerbread rom I ran wasn't anything drastically different from froyo, I guess its more just the state of mind that the nexus one isn't getting the update as fast as it used to, or did once lol
[Nexus One General] dan1431:
Actually Gingerbread includes an updated Bluetooth Stack (which might) solve the issues that I am experiencing between my Nexus One and my car's Bluetooth Handsfree system.

Dan
[Nexus One General] Salival:
Maybe tomorrow we can expect some news!
[Nexus One General] ianandamy:
We better this some BS i didn't buy the flagship phone for Google to F' me on updates to sell a glorified vibrant for a few months.
[Nexus One General] :
Waiting for news about gingerbread at a honeycomb event is setup to disappointment.

Followed by insane glee about the bees knees.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
OK now that we are officially into february with no update or news about status, I can get on board a little bit with the "where's the update" crowd. its now coming up on "a few months" from when they said "a few weeks", so its a little crazy. again i say if it's this hard for google to update their own devices which they sanction, then the rest of the industry has no hope with respect to updating the android platform in a timely manner.

though i do still have patience and say "it will release when its ready".
[Nexus One General] morfy50:
The worst part of it is the lack of communication from Google. If they would just issue a simple, forthright statement about this it would stop the FUD.
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Been a long 2 months...we need a definate date!
[Nexus One General] descendency:
Hi,

You're not getting Gingerbread until we feel the Nexus S has saturated the early adopter market.

Thanks,

Google (Nexus Team)
[Nexus One General] dan1431:
I have to admit that I really do understand why El Goog has been as a quiet as they have been on the subject.

Clearly El Goog does not have any obligation to be more communicative with their customers, but it would be really nice if they were.

Dan
[Nexus One General] kenypowa:
I thought the focus is now on Honeycomb. Hell, even I don't care about GB anymore. GIMME Honeycomb! :D
[Nexus One General] mark_20:
Be thankful you do not have a Captivate, Samsung has been telling everyone the Froyo update is "coming soon" since September. It would be easier to accept if they would at least issue an update that fixes the bugs, but nothing.

I will be switching from my Captivate to a Nexus One this weekend, a client is giving me a NIB Nexus One as a thank you. Then I am trying to get AT&T to replace my Craptivate for an Android phone that actually works.....
[Nexus One General] bradsh1:
I just think it is very hypocritical of google to push manufacturers to update their phones to the latest OS and then fail to do so for their flagship device after two whole months. google only has two phones really, and many of the manufacturers have way more than 5.

this is setting a bad example
[Nexus One General] dan1431:
I was talking to a friend who hypothesized that the holdup might have to do with the Nexus S Reboot Bug (might be an Android 2.3 bug), once they manage to nip that bug in the bud, my friend felt that we might see Android 2.3 for the Nexus One.

Dan
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
That's exactly what I said five days ago on this thread. Your friend sounds very smart :)

According to the bug tracker the fix for that reboot issue is in testing and should be pushed out in a week or so. I'm hoping that issue is the holdup, and so maybe the N1 update will finally come out about the same time.
[Nexus One General] MitchRapp:
and now a honeycomb press event ......... gah.
[Nexus One General] dan1431:
I honestly have no idea, I am just not well enough versed in all things Android to make any kind of informed statement on the topic.

I am still unsure why El Goog just cannot say, hey this where we are, this is where we hope to be, please be patient. Having a little more info than it is coming in a few weeks would be really nice (again I realize that El Goog has no obligation to do, but it just seems like the right thing to do).

Dan
[Nexus One General] morfy50:
Unfortunately, I think the 'Google keeping us in the loop' ship has sailed.
[Nexus One General] knightnz:
I think you mean "in the bud" - or they're keener than I thought :)
[Nexus One General] yunlin12:
I think that Google thinks that if they come clean on their schedule on 2.3, users will just move on and ***** and moan about not knowing the schedule for 3.0. Google can't give out that schedule at this time. So either way users are going to be unsatisfied, so why bother, just let the users wait in the dark. Worst case someone gets tired of waiting, and ditches their N1. Even in that case, what's the chance of someone stomping their feet for 2.3 leaving the Android platform? Google just get paid more by selling another Android phone.
[Nexus One General] MENDEH:
dont kid yourself about the nexus one getting an official 3.0 update.
[Nexus One General] mkrmec:
Just be happy you will even get an update... stop crying blood because you don't have it yet.

If you want it that much root your phone and get Cyanogenmod 7 or some other ROM.
[Nexus One General] herrwinkler:
This in a nutshell is part of the reason I switched to the iPhone.
[Nexus One General] Mokurex:
Verizon? lol
[Nexus One General] VaKo:
Yeah, have been wondering about this myself. I bought an unlocked Hero when it came out thinking "Yay, i'll get updates first because it's and OEM device, not a carrier device". A nearly a year roles past and finaly the 2.1 update hits. So I get a N1, thinking it's an OEM device, from the people who make the actual OS, no carrier stuff, no OEM stuff, just basic Android. And a year after it's made it's still on 2.2 still, while 2.3 is out and Google are talking about 3. Say what you want about the iPhone, but the iPod touch I got in 2007 got it's last update in 2010.

The only reason I haven't is due to flash and maps. But it is annoying that Android seems to have become a platform designed to make you buy a new phone every 18 months.
[Nexus One General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
i bet that we will get 2.3 and even a few more updates after that. The Nexus S really doesn't have any big hardware differences which would lead to making the Nexus One obsolete.

Sure Google could have handled the 2.3 updates for the N1 better, but i'm sure that we will see more updates for the nexus one than many nexus s owners would like to imagine....(i don't even get why there seem to be so many people having fun by claiming that there will be no more updates)
[Nexus One General] sceg10:
The Korean keyboard has been updated to Gingerbread. I hope this is a sign that the update is near for N1.

I'm using the keyboard right now. It's quite nice and an improvement to Froyo.
[Nexus One General] maxppp:
Do you not consider the multi-touch screen fail on the n1 a big difference?

It's already 'us' on the google maps.
[Nexus One General] pfmiller:
No, I don't consider it a big difference. I don't feel that I'm missing out on anything in Maps. And I haven't seen anything in honeycomb that would lead me to believe the touchscreen will be a problem for the n1 in the future.
