[Q] understandable nexus one unlock/root/upgrade

Hi, I've a nexus one with android 2.0 stock! After loosing my contact list and had to restore or totally replace my phone several times because my cell provider was unable to detect/repair/help ... I've decide to do it by myself! ... my nexus one was stuck on X ... so I've unlock bootloader and fastboot recovery a RA-passion version ... black screen ... tried lots of 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 available version ... without success ... always black screen ... so I decide to install gingerbread 2.3 cyanogen ... working (root, superuser, etc) but without gapps so useless for me ... ive try some gapps for gingerbread ... didnt work (was stuck on cyanogen animation) ... so after 2 days I've decide to use PASSIMG.zip to install a factory recovery ... got android 2.2 ... installed my fb, twitter,gmail account ... installed my last apps ... and I've got a popups "system update" ... after rebooting android 2.3.4 build GRJ22 was installed with all gapps without root, look like a legal copy!
My questions:
1- Is it possible to root 2.3.4? if yes, how?
2- why 2.3.4 installed by itself?
3- how can I do a real downgrade?
4- and since Im with 2.3.4 do I really need trying to roots it or its useless?
thanks

Hi,
To answer your questions:
=> At this moment there is no possible way of rooting version 2.3.4
=> To do a real downgrade, go to the link below and do the PASSIMG method, using FRG83. Execute, and you'll be on 2.2.1.

Once you are on 2.2.1 use the following method to update manual to 2.3.3

Now we come to the process of rooting your nexus one to 2.3.4 using stock ROM
1) Root your GRI40 (2.3.3) build;
2) Flash a custom recovery (like Amon_RA 2.2.1, from his thread), using ROM Manager from the market, or do it manually using flash_image;
2) Download the GRJ22 (2.3.4) update and place it in the root of your sdcard;
3) Download the su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip file and place it in the root of your sdcard;
4) Reboot into recovery;
5) If you flash any other recovery besides Amon_RA 1.9, turn signature verification OFF (it is off by default in 1.9);
6) Flash the GRJ22 update, but do NOT reboot once it finishes flashing;
7) Re-read step 6. It is important that you do not reboot, otherwise you are stuck;
8) Flash the su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip file;
9) Reboot;
10) At this point, you are rooted, but you have lost the stock recovery. If you want a custom recovery to stick, follow the next steps;
11) Download a terminal emulator or a root file manager from the market;
12) Delete these two files from your ROM: /system/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
13) Re-flash the custom recovery you want.
14) Reboot.

[Q] Probleme to flash a custom rom

Hi i have a probleme since 2 days i'm trying to install a new rom on my htc desire android 2.2. i rooted it with unrevoked and i use the clockwork recovery so i copied this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054435 on my sd i wiped Cache/dalvik and i did a factory reset then i selected install file from sd and i selected the rom in .zip and when it's launched i have an error : " installation aborted (status 7 ) i tried different rom but i have always this error message i really don't know what to do maybe it doesn't work because i didn't wipe the ext partition? thanks for your help bye

Try disabling signature verification...also have you upgraded your radio to the one recommended by the dev
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Sounds for me you have a pvt4 desire. You can check your desire's hardwarerevision on this way:
1.) Download connectbot from android market
2.) Start it, set "local" and write any name
3.) Type
Code:
cat /pro/mtd
Now look at the column "erasesize". If there stands a 40000, your desire has a newer hardwarerevision. With this the usually flashed recovery by unrevoked (clockworkmod recovery) does not work.
You have to flash a different recovery, amonra 2.0.1.
Download the img here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20471345/SUroot/Tools/Android/Recovery/recovery-RA_2.0.1.img
Then, start unrevoked, file>custom recovery>choose downloaded recovery. Now run unrevoked again. Now you should be able to flash things like custom rom from recovery.

even when i try to upgrade the radio it doesn't work :\ i'm going to try to install another recovery

unrevoked gave me an error : failed to get root.IS your firmware too new

Happy i could help. But you can make me even happier, if you press the thanks button.
If you install this rom, it will consume a little more battery. But this is only because of sense 2.1+3.0, so i think that's okay.

[Q] How to install MotoGinger 2.3.4 :(

Hi Guys,
I could not install the Rom MotoGinger 2.3.4 Can some one please guide me with proper steps? I have installed froyo and its rooted, Also installed the 2init.
I didnt understand the 2nd step steps, When exactly should I install the nandroid-backup and after installation why should I wipe? Please can someone help me out?
- Starting installation with any original froyo 2.2.2 (rooted)
- Install original 451-134 in "normal way"---> nandroid-backup (thx to walter79)
1. wipe via CWM
2. advanced restore (system/only)
3. flash fixed-sbf
4. wipe via stock recovery, then reboot.
----> DOWNLOAD
- From market download and install defy 2nd init
- Choose latest recovery (cwm 4.0.0.6)
- Download MotoGinger.zip and copy in microsd
- Enter in recovery, wipe/data and install motoginger as a zip file, then reboot!
- To return to any froyo rom, you just flash with rsd lite in the usual way! Before the flash, i suggest wipe/data and cache from recovery!

I did it in the following way:
Recieved my phone with 2.1, booted the phone and rooted the phone.
Installed Clockwork Mod recovery.
Booted in clockworkmod recovery.
Made a nandroid of my current device.
Restored nandroid of my choice 2.3.4
Cleared cache and factory reset.
Booted into Flash mode
flashed fixed SBF
booted phone.

Buddy I did that.. It didnt work.. I had rooted stock froyo before I flashed.. which version you were in?

wat actually happened when u entered bootmenu? did u go to custom recovery?did u wipe partition,cache,data and all before installing from sd card?

I did "wipe data/factory" and wipe cache partition then installed the motoginger and when i reboot it takes me to the boot menu then i selcted boot->2nd-init and it again boots to the boot menu and if i select boot->normal the screen hust goes blank and nothing happens.

looks like 2nd-init is acting weird..make sure ur 2nd-init is 0.6.1..and entering bootmenu check whether cmw is 4.0.0.6..

Oh.. boy.. finally I got it.. shadow4.5.1-134rootednandroid.zip is not a nandroid backup but it has system.img which I must restore it..
@arpith.fbi Thank you for your support..

well motoginger-4.zip is another way to install the ROM through custom recovery...no restoring no flashing in required..supposed to be an easy way to install a ROM..
720p patch is only for red lens defy..it wont work on green lens..again u have to install the patch through custom recovery..

I solved the problem by myself.
The reason was that i tried to apply motoginger-4.zip with
goapk custom recovery because it seemed to work!!
I got a success message!
Finaly i installed 2ndInit and latest recovery and used it.
Finally everything worked.
My only problem that i can not switch off the lock screen in security menü as in 2.2.2 worked fine.

[Q] Problems installing CM9

Hi there,
I'm new so I'm sorry if there is already a thread like this.
I'm having problems installing CM9 on my Gio. I'm following the instructions by Maclaw. Here are the steps I do:
1. install via Recovery Menu the px-cwm-v2.zip (ClockworkMod I think)
2. reboot
3. install the CM9 main zip (cm-gio-ota-eng.13052012.zip)
4. factory reset
5. reboot
6. Apply patch v2 and v3 (patch-cm9-v2.zip & patch-cm9-v3.zip)
7. reboot
I thought that was it but all i see now on the screen is "ANDROID". I tried rebooting several times but nothing works for me.
I tried the whole process now for 3 times but everytime the same failure. I have now Android 2.3.3 with root rights but I want to try out CM9.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong so pls help me if you know where the problem is.
Thanks a lot

Don't apply patch, they are very outdated and should be removed.

Simple guide from Android 2.2 to latest KitKat 4.4.4 for Defy (MB525)

There are a lot of elaborate guides, here is a simple one with what I use and links:
- install sbf Android 2.2.2 Moto_Version.34.179.2.MB525.Retail.en.CEE from sbf.droid-developers.org, for RSD Lite 6.1.6 see johnlgalt post
- root with Framaroot
- reboot and then install 2ndInit Recovery Installer
- reboot and install defy_twrp_recovery_2.6.3.0.zip by TJKV from here or here
Now there are two options
1. reboot and install cm-11-20140923-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip from http://defy.svolkov.name/quarx2k.ru/buildbot/roms/defy-cm11.0/, latest working version recommended by okij
2. install "new life" builds
- reboot and install new_boostrap.zip from defy.7z package by Quarx
- reboot and install resize.zip from the same package
- reboot and install latest CM11 nightly from Quarx available here or here, 11-26 nightly / Highly recommendable build by @okij
Optional Minimal Google Apps and Defy CM11 Cleaner
Good luck!
Note: cm-11-20141116-NIGHTLY-mb52x.zip, cm-11-20150111-NIGHTLY-mb52x.zip and cm-11-20150125-NIGHTLY-mb52x.zip can be downloaded from Google Drive https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B3blRwaBl5YUT0FkWnItZGNOUmM#list

A thread with updated tools [INDEX]Motorola Unbricking Tools

Actually, there is a more simple way. After sbf and root, just jump to the guides here (http://quarx2k.ru/). No more 2nd init, etc.

For me, using 2nd init and TWRP recovery is easier than "install bootstrap, via terminal or adb shell".

just installed that install sbf Android 2.2.2 Moto_Version.34.179.2.MB525.Retail.en.CE and the phones completely bricked! it wont even charge!
any ideas
edit my mistake it was kinda of bricked plugged in usb lead with RSD and although nothing was on screen i managed to flash to a firmware that works
ill leave my post just in case
on a side note. 2ndinit keeps crashing and i get the not reponding ......wait or close box.
Had to reboot into stock recovery and then wipe and start all again...............
but what ever rom i try to flash i keep getting e:error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/cm-11-20141001-nightly-mb526.zip

You can't flash new roms with 2ndInit, you have to install TWRP recovery.

I don't know about downgrade, but you should just install CM11.
I think cm-11-20140923-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip can be flashed directly from CM10.2 recovery.

After installing 2ndInit Recovery you should:
Turn your phone off.
Press the Power Button.
After 1-10 seconds, the blue led on your phone will light up for just 1.5 seconds (Still while the Motorola logo is being displayed).
Exactly when the led lights up, press the volume down button.
You will see the BootMenu, use the Volume Button to navigate up and down, and the power button to select an item.
