[Q][H] 2.2.1 FRFG83D Help

Hey All,
First I would like to start of by saying sorry if there is a thread on this and I have not found it from hours of searching for an answer.
So let me tell you the problem/point I am at with my Nexus One and need help.
So I rooted my phone a while back and for some time I was running the
CyanogenMod and then used Rom Manager to return to the stock image FRF91 from there updated to FRFG83D. I now want to get back into the rooted world and Amon_Ra's Recovery. Each time I try to enter into recovery mod I get the droid with a big '!'
I have tried to use SuperOneClick and it keep sitting on
Running rageagainstthecage...
ROOTED
Getting mount path...
tried 1-click does not work also.
Please help
Anyone help please

You only need to ask once. Asking multiple times is not going to get anyone to help you any faster... All you'll do is annoy people.
The "droid with the big !" as you put it is the stock recovery. When you flash a stock ROM, it re-installs the stock recovery, unless you delete two files.
Anyway, you need to delete /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and /system/recovery-from-boot.p and then flash a custom recovery. You obviously need root to delete those two files.
See attachments for how to root and flash a custom recovery, without unlocking your bootloader.
Thanx and do not wish to be a pain, I thought I got my nexus to a point were I could not do a think.
Will try it out and let you know.
Thanks

I did this like 2 days ago too. Super one click root does work. I confirmed. You just only need to set up your driver and your adb right.

Need help unrooting!!!!

Please help!!! My charger port broke and I need to unroot to take it to Cellular South to see if they can fix it. I am running CM 6.1 and I rooted with Z4root. I saved it on my phone with Titanium Backup. When I click on it all it says is root. Well i figured if I try to reroot it, it will recognize that I am already rooted and then give me the option to unroot but all it does is reboots and reinstalls the current ROM. When I go back to Z4root it says the same thing, root. I also was going to get the original RUU from Cell South but I can't hook my phone up to the computer to finish the process cause of my charger port is broken. Please help me!!! If I failed to give you all the info you need, let me know and I will give you the missing info. Thanks in advance!!!
have your tried running the ruu through adb using adb wireless?
How do you do that?
I downloaded the RUU from Cell South and tried to install it from recovery mode but it just went back to the current ROM again.
there is a progam called adb wireless.... havent done any of this myself but i would guess its the same as running the ruu in adb connected through usb.
check here for ruu commands in adb
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688820 the app is in market i do believe
hope i not confusing you or leading you down the wrong path but is just an idea you can try

You don't run an RUU from recovery, or from the phone at all.
Do you have fast boot working??? If so there's a zip you can flash from h boot to return to stock.
Something.About.Me.U.Dont.Like.
Its.Cool.I.Understand.AWAH
I downloaded the adb wireless but not sure what to do with it.

Isn't fast boot where I press and hold power button and volume up? If so then yes it works but not sure how to use it. The only thing I use it for is when is says (menu) Recovery. I use it to send me to recovery mode sometimes.

What is this androidsdk I keep hearing about? I actually got help rooting with the good folks from phandroid forums. Maybe y'all use this androidsdk in your rooting method and Phandroid does not and I'm missing that and that us why I can't figure out what y'all are talking about. Just thinking...
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Give me a sec to boot up I'll post you some links on how to get the android sdk. Adb wireless wont work without it. I've never used that app so not sure on how it works. And fast boot is when you have s-off. When you hold your volume down and power before you hit the button for recovery it will say in the top left hand corner or right, if you have s-off or s-on. To use fast boot you have to have s-off.
Something.About.Me.U.Dont.Like.
Its.Cool.I.Understand.AWAH
I just checked and it says S-on.

It's going to take a lot of reading sorry for the wait time had to take my wife to work. If you need any other help I will try my best. Well good luck.
On the first step, do I do everything or just download the ADB SDK? Sorry, I hate to sound like such a noob but I don't want to mess this up!

Ok I have the first 2 downloaded. Since I'm with Cellular South I can't use the last step so I went to cellularsouth.com and I'm downloading it as I type. I'm not sure how to install the first 2 though. I have them downloaded but not sure what to do next.

If you mean the sdk just install it on your computer. Just click on it and choose run. If that's not the one then which one are you refering to
Install the ask on the computer and use the adb wireless to connect, right?

[Q] need help with super one click (non market app)

Hello Forum first of all thank you for your support. I have an issue with (enable non market) from super one click. my device is a stock 2.2 rooted captivate, thanks again, to S.O.C. but I was unable to unlock market. I get a fail and no S.U. permission pop up on my device. Am I missing a file on my PC or my phone?
Did you root it? if you did root it, did you restart? is there an error message? if so what does it say?
When an app like Super One Click is looking for SU access, you have to watch the screen on the phone. You are supposed to get a dialog box saying that Superuser is requesting access. When you choose Yes, you should be in business.

Settings> applications>manage applications> all> superuser> clear data
And
Settings>applications>development>usb debugging should be ON.
After those steps try again, make sure your screen is on and you should get a SU prompt this time.

Rooted htc vivid help needed..

So i have a rooted htc vivid and today my battery died today and now my phone will not boot up at all. I can plug in the charger and the charge light comes on for a few seconds and then goes off.. It did this once last night and came back on after pulling the battery. Died today and cant get it back on...help me out please someone..
We followed Slapshot30's Superguide by doing the following:
HTC Dev Unlock - confirmed
Followed step 2 but got an error trying to update recovery
Used the Supertool Method and confirmed root with Titanium Backup
Tried Flashing a couple different versions of CWM to no avail.
Now we are at the current situation, unable to even boot into hboot by pulling battery and using power/vol down method.
At a standstill now
Edit: Oh and I helped him root this phone. I've rooted both my OG Evo and my E3D.
Edit #2 - Got it to boot into hboot and now the phone is booting up normally. Anyone know why it would do that? Also, does anyone know where I can find a download for CWM that I can flash through the bootloader? When we try to go to the recovery now it just goes the the screen with the red exclamation.
Are you able to flash the PH39IMG from the superguide? It's really easy, just put that file on the internal or external memory and boot into hboot and the phone will automatically update to the newest recovery.
If that doesn't work you cab flash the recovery using the other guide in the superguide, the one involving flashimagegui app.

When he puts the image on the sd card it doesn't update when booting into hboot...it goes through the steps but says no image.. I've done this a million times on my evo 3d but this phone is about to drive me crazy! We tried the other method but the app says his phone isn't compatible.

How about going to the thread for the new recovery (thecubed is the dev that made it). There is another method posted there, just a little more confusing. It involves a line or two of code in the command prompt.

why not send it back to stock first using the instructions in the superguide, and start from scratch?
Is that a possibility?

yeah I guess that can be a bit of a pain... Sometimes when I have an error and can't seem to figure it out I like to re-start at least a portion of what Im working on with a clean slate and make sure I did everything correctly, cleanly, etc.. but that's the programmer in me coming back out after years of unintentional suppression
ill try your link out but probally gonna need some help in the command prompt not really good with that stuff...i have been trying and i cant get it to work..

Just put the file on your desktop. Go to a file explorer and go to your desktop folder. Hold shift and right click, select open a command window here. Then just type in the line of code it says.

That's really odd... You might just have to try reverting to stock using the superguide and then rooting again.

I don't think so. Actual 'rooting' takes place within a rooted ROM, but you have to unlock your bootloader first, and even that is not a one-click process. MAYBE if you get the HTC dev unlock code file via email, and place it in a certain folder on your PC, there may be a script out there that could do the rest, but that of course requires a PC with proper ADB and HTC driver setup. Bottom line is I don't think it can be done without a PC.
