Hello,
I have flashed a stock rom on my nexus one full of hope that Bluetooth will work fine. I have the problem that my handsfree-set in the car is not dialing the "+" (international area code) previous the phone number with the result that i don't get a connection. Do you have this problem too?
However, flashing the stock rom brought no solution, so i decided to flash the desire rom once again. unfortunately the flashing of the stock rom also flashes my recovery and I have to start from the beginning like it seems (with fastboot, superuser and so on). On work I am not able to install my nexus one due to admin rights, which I don't own. So the question is, if it is possible to run "fastboot-windows oem unlock" without usb, maybe in the terminal with "fastboot-linux oem unlock"? Of course I need to install the superuser rights without usb too...
Any Help is much appreciated! Thank you very much
Best regards

No... because you'll need superuser access to run that in a terminal and to get su access you need to unlock your phone.
The reason this works currently is that "fastboot" runs is a su context already. So, when you run fastboot to unlock the bootloader you are effectively running as root.
Basically, you must fastboot oem unlock from another client before you can perform root actions on the phone (in a terminal).
Seeing as there is no way to relock the bootloader, I think you are confused about "having to start from the beginning" again. However, if you have the stock recovery, you will need to use fastboot to flash a new one, since you are running the stock rom as well - meaning no SU access (unless you used a superboot kernel).
BTW - this should be in the Q&A section.

ok thanks. thread can be moved and closed.
Hello, new to N6 and I'd like to perform the following:
Unlock the bootloader
Decrypt the device for better performance
Root the device
Side-load 5.1
Install a custom recovery (Not sure if I should do this)
I have seen a lot of tutorials of each and I'll be using the Nexus Room Toolkit for all of this. I'm just not sure of which is the right order to achieve this, this is a new N6 so no data to backup. In which order should I perform all this?
Thanks.

If you are going to use the toolkit, backup in the toolkit first (if you have setting of importance on the phone), then unlock bootloader, decrypt, install custom recovery, sideload, then root.

It's fine to use a toolkit but only if you already know how to do all these steps manually. If you do not know how to do that then you should do it manually so that you do know. The reason for this is if something goes wrong further down the line, we don't want to have to teach you the basics AND tell you what you need to do to fix whatever issue you have. We just want to do the latter - because teaching someone the basics that they should already know when they are frustrated and panicking is not a good set of circumstances to be teaching in and it is frustrating to us more than you and putting us in that situation is a little bit selfish.
So the steps should be:
Unlock the bootloader using fastboot
reboot the bootloader using fastboot
Install a custom recovery (TWRP)
Flash a stock rom.zip that has a kernel that does not force encryption via recovery
If that rom is not rooted, put SuperSU on your sdcard and flash it via TWRP
Hello XDA forums,
I really don't like the issue of trying to set the drivers of fastboot/google and so on....also all of these adb commands.
Is there a way to unlock bootloader & root by:
1) one of these "1 click" tools that do everything for the use? (such as "wugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit")
2) Just do everything by the phone? (if there is a possible to install some how a recovery such as twrp and than root by some app?)
Could anybody guide me through the steps, if needed?
Many thanks!

AFAIK you will need a pc to 1)unlock your bootloader and 2)flash TWRP. After that the rest can be done locally. I also never used any toolkit. Making it easy is making it more dangerous IMHO.

So at least once you need to connect your phone to a desktop computer. It can be practically running anything, within reason of course: Wiindows. Mac OSX, Linux (almost any distro).
You need to unlock your bootloader with one command, but a warning here: Unlocking the bootloader will erase everything from your phone..
Then you need to install a custom recovery, preferably TWRP. After that everything can be done from the phone itself. Well at least until you soft brick it somehow, then you'll might have to use the PC again.
Also two things:
1. No OTAs for rooted phones
2. Don't lock your bootloader if you want to mess with it, because with a locked bootloader, and Enable OEM Unlocking set to off, and without TWRP, if you soft brick it accidentally, you are boned.

And i really prefer to do it on the device and not by ADB commands.
@istperson
I dont want to mess with th BL ... only for installing dev roms (or later then the stock with root).
Many thanks!

Well, you still will have to unlock it, if you want root, or want to flash a custom recovery.

Ha ha, or I don't want my birthday to be on the day I was born every year ?
I can recommend the NTRT, the Nexus Telepathic Rooting Tools.
OK.
I want to do that with a toolkit, only bcs it install the drivers.
What Is the most recommended and easiest to use?
I do looking for the 1 click do all.
Does NTRT do that?
Thank you all.
we are eventually goung to have a "my n6 is bricked, how do i fix it with one click" thread here. seriously though, thats what happens when you use toolkits, but do no real research about modding your device.
Toolkits are fine if you first understand what they are doing. Otherwise it's like giving a hand grenade to a child to play with.

I seriously belive that if a user know exactly for to chose and click - yes it could be great.

==========================================================
Bottom line:
Guess many users completed the unlocking & rooting by this tool
Why not?

i agree with you. if there is somebody who knows the ins and outs already, a one click root would be great. and there will be. problem is that marshmallow just came out, and a few things have changed, like like yoe also need a custom kernel to have root on marshmallow.

There is a reason you're pushing this topic, and I'm quite sure it's because you would feel safer, if there was a tool that did the scary things instead of you. Well, there's no such tool. If you were willing to search XDA, you would find out that the first two weeks after Marshmallow came out were about people bricking their Nexus 6s with toolkits. Then the toolkit got updated and suddenly it knew that is has to flash a modified boot.img too for the root not to brick the phone. But for two weeks it didn't know, because it wasn't necessary for Lollipop. And it will only work until the next security update comes out. And that's once a month.
Meanwhile those who were willing to use the search function, and learned the five minute procedure, were able to update their rooted phones to the next security update and were able to root it as soon as the new modified boot image came out.
And this above is not something somebody will put in a help, or instructions for future updates.
Actually, this is my first time and I was able to do it pretty easily.
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock
my bootloader was unlocked within 30 seconds of turning it on.
then, you can easily root via CF Auto root. Just put it into fastboot then doubleclick on the windows, then root, etc....
or.............go into fastboot flash recovery twrpxxxx.img, then it always offers to run SuperSU, and you get custom recovery and root at the same time, etc......
actually the biggest pain is unlocking the bootloader. My Galaxy S4 already was unlocked, so all I did was use goomanager, flash TWRP which always offers to run SuperSU if you don't have it.
Pretty easy, I did unlock bootloader, root, and custom recovery in 10 min.
---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 AM ----------
............................Then I got sick of stock Google's ROM in 15 min and wiped it and put a custom ROM instead.
Thank you all so much...
@mikeprius
Thank you so much for the info'!
But, could you plz write more details? such as:
1. How did you installed the drivers? (from my expirience, many times the pc dosent install this easily).
I just need the Google oem driver and that's it?
2. When drivers was set - did you made anything in your phones settings? Which?
3. What did you had to do before pushing the files? (Like...put all the files in the same folder? *which files?)
4. And then entered to fastboot mode and typed in these commands in pc:
fastboot devices
fastboot oem unlock
Regarding your last sentence ("or...."):
If i just flash the recovery via fastbot mode I can enter to twrp recovery and it offers to flash the SuperSU?
Sounds to me the best option.
Thanks!
1. The drivers were set from a previous device, so I didn't have to set them, but they can be downloaded and set though.
2. You need to enable developer options and select OEM unlock and USB debugging.
3. I didn't push the files, I just had them on my computer and ran fastboot commands.
4. Those commands are to unlock the bootloader.
There are a lot of different ways to do the same thing (Root, custom recovery, unlock bootloader)
1. Run CF Auto Root on a locked bootloader. It will unlock it automatically (Chainfire has it set that way), root, then download Flashify app and flash the latest img of TWRP.
2. Run fastboot commands to manually unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP, then use TWRP's SuperSU which will root it.
3. Run fastboot commands to unlock bootloader, run CF Autoroot which will root and load SuperSU, then flash TWRP via Flashify or fastboot.
There are many different ways to do the same thing. I actually just googled youtube videos and watched them.
TWRP has SuperSU and root built in. TWRP knows if you don't have it and offers to load it for you.
I went the scenic route just because, but presumably you can achieve all (3) using Option #1 without having to deal with fastboot, adb, etc.....Chainfire's script runs automatically.
I realy try to help people but users that run into problems because of the usage of tookits (and innability to solve problems and/or even lack the most basic knowledge needed) should ask the toolkit dev. for support imo, and not boughter users that have invested time and effort to gain that knowledge to clean up their mess.

is there anyway to root and/or unlock the bootloader for the cricket phone?
i need root so i can tweak some things to fix an overheating issues ive always had with this.
i turned on OEM unlocking in dev options and i switched on "Allow root access" in the engineering menu...
any thoughts?

there isn't any way to do it yet as far as I know
Sorry if I'm misunderstanding. I've done a ton of searching and am still unable to figure it out.
Is it possible to root this device? (6055U)? I'm not concerned w/ the bootloader, just simply want to root. I have not yet tried any of the one-click's (kingroot, kingoroot, etc)
I would really appreciate it if someone would please explain to me. All of these sites/threads make it seem simple, just unsure of the U device.
I just got it today from Cricket and am considering returning it if I am unable to get root.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
There is currently no root for the cricket variant of the device, I believe it's mainly because the fastboot OEM unlock command is disabled, so we can't get permissive selinux. I've been able to get semi root with dirty cow but it's basically useless, unless someone knows how to use that to turn off selinux, or get a real root shell running, neither of which I have been able to accomplish so far. If anyone has any ideas shoot them my way.
