Also try VISIONary from the Market and let us know if that works on the N1 2.2.1. I have a hunch it might, but I'm already rooted.

No. SuperOneClick, or one of the other options...

I just confirmed myself, VISIONary from the Market roots 2.2.1 on-device. Have fun!

Is root with VISIONary permanent, or do you have to run it every time the phone is rebooted?

Try it, and report back...

Seems like r10 VISIONary (currently on the market) perm-roots the N1. At least I get "already rooted" whenever I run it even after storage wipe and reboot. I personally wanted only temp-root.

Please don't spam threads. There is already a Superuser zip file from ChainsDD which is quite well-used and well-documented. And this thread was from over a year ago and was about a completely different topic.

[Q] How do you know when your phone's rooted?

Can I ask a stupid question? I've just used "Universal Androot" on my Milestone 2.1-update 1, and it SAYS it was successful and that it has been "rooted". I'm just wondering apart frm flashing a rom etc, how would I be sure that my phone is now rooted?
Download a "root only" app (i.e. setcpu, root explorer, wireless tether). If your phone asks for superuser permission, you're rooted!

Aight then, thanks for that, I'll try that now and report back.

I've downloaded and used the "Root Explorer" app, and it works and asked for permission to be used in the beginning. So if I wasn't "rooted" I wouldn't be able to use this app then?
Right. It allows you to change system files if you select r/w. You can't do that without root. Setcpu allows you to overclock your phone (make it faster). It's worth buying.

Aight then, well thanks you 2 innit, greatly appreciated but I think I'll jus' stay safe for now and keep it "unrooted". The main reason I wanted to "root" was for 2.2 Froyo, but thanks though.

my friend took ota update this week now we have trouble

i rooted my friends droid last week and all was good
now he says he took an update now all his roots apps dont work and when i try to run universal androot it says its rooted and will not reroot or unroot
im a eris guy and very new to droid can some one give me some insight
The ota dor frg22d breaks the one click type root methods, currently there is no app to utilize for the one click root method. Furthermore you will be unable to "undo" the one click app's changes, but to my knowledge this has no adverse effects. There is currently no widely know one click method on the way so you will have to root the good ole fashioned way, computer/cable/rsd there are a few guides and its not really as scary as people think

There is your guide. I have used that method many time.

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I followed the instructions correctly. It finds the zip and starts installing then reboots and nothing changed. I'm currently at work. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? So when I get home I can jump right into rooting my phone

Did I say to use it for lagfix?....no but even someone who can't read well can use it to root....literally rooting for dummies
You were having trouble so I tried pointing you I'm the direction for easiest root method...heck you don't even have to know how to follow directions to use it
It's funny you talk down on somebody without even doing your research. If you did you would know that the app doesn't root your phone anymore. Thanks for the help tho I do appreciate it

I have saved on my computer Ryan's z4root.apk from 2-3 weeks ago, that will still Root won't it if I ever need on Stock 2.1.1?
I'd suppose it would - he just had to take out the root feature for some reason. The application wasn't defective.

[Q] Nexus One 2.3.3 Gingerbread, Simple Root?

Since upgrading to Gingerbread 2.3.3, I've lost the root access I had on Froyo. I used the RageAgainstTheCage method before and found that worked well. I could easily re-root after each update to Froyo, but it doesn't work now that I have updated to Gingerbread.
Is there a 1-Click Root or something fairly simple, similar to RageAgainstTheCage perhaps, that I can use to root my device without unlocking the bootloader??
I've heard some people mention Ginger Break?
Thanks, Steve.
No.
Whatever 'Gingerbreak' is is unreleased yet, apparently the dev wants a few more devices in the wild first.
Simple? Sure...
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
So if my bootloader is unlocked what else do I have to do at that point, push a custom recovery? I was under the impression that none had been updated for 2.3 on the nexus one yet.

Recovery is version independent. Flash one, then use it to flash ChainsDD's su files.
Yup, flash a new recovery, then use the recovery to flash on the su update file
Alright cool thanks, didn't want to come off as ignorant on the matter but to be honest sometimes it feels like getting detailed information is kinda tough with all the threads that get created on the same subject and how large some of them get.

Reports I've read indicate that the rageagainstthecage exploit doesn't work for 2.3.3.
If the soft-root exploits don't work on 2.3.3, simply downgrade to a 2.2 version, soft-root it, install a custom recovery and then flash a root 2.3.3 ROM...
I'm not completely certain, but I don't think you can downgrade either. At least I've not heard of anyone succeeding with the passimg approach yet...

Affirmative downgrade is possible!!!
Anyone need help????
but if i downgrade to 2.2.2 and root the n1 while its in 2.2.2. Wont it come out of root when I put the stock 2.3.3 on. Atleast for me the whole reason I went to 2.2.2 is so i can get the stock verison of gingerbread. I do want to root my phone but I dont wanna use a different rom as of now I wanna keep the stock verison of gingerbrad that I got from google. I guess my real question is without the ramble, Once I downgrade and root the Phone wont I lose root once I put the stock 2.3.3
Just install a pre-rooted stock 2.3.3...

Here I am!
I have successfully downgraded from stock GRI40 to FRG33 (via PASSIMG), rooted, flashed custom recovery and finally flashed a stock rooted GRI40.
Congrats!

Remember that malware thing that rooted your phone and stole your information that was fixed by gingerbread? Are we gonna have to worry about that again with a gingerbread root?

Yep. And if you were stupid to download those apps, (pewpew full for free, asiaasiaasia, etc.) Then you got hacked. It wasn't root at all, there was a fix for under 2.3 that you could get only if you rooted.

Was wondering when that was gonna be posted here. Wonder if we'll even need or use it though?
Uhh.. someone jacked my thread in development. Anyways, this should be stickied because it is the current 2.3 root for us.
