Hi there I Have Nexus One running 2.3.4 and I want to ROOT it so I can install some ROMs. It doesn't have unlocked bootloader and it's just regular nexus running stock OS.
I'am new to rooting and would like step by step instructions because I like my nexy and don't want to brick it.
I would like someone to help me unlock bootloader and root the phone.
Thank You
My Present situation:
-Nexus One
-GB 2.3.4 (stock,new phone, Canada Koodo)
-locked Bootloader
I want:
-root access only for a few apps
-receive OTA updates when they are available
Don't want:
-custom rom
-custom anything
-Downgrade(but will consider if extremely necessary or is the only option)

Root and OTA doesn't go well together. Plus, you don't need to root your phone to apply ROMs.
You can deny su (root) access for apps if you want.
How to root:
Unlock bootloader (fastboot oem unlock)
Install custom recovery (fastboot flash recovery <recovery name>.img)
Install su.zip (install zip from sdcard)

I just got my One X international version and I have had a little experience flashing ROMS in the past, my question is about the order in wich this steps have to be followed:
1. Bootloader unlock
2. Rooting
3. Flashing ROM
or
1. Rooting
2. Bootloader unlock
3. Flashing ROM
And is there an extra step (flash thing) before or after flashing a custom ROM?
1. Rooting
2. Bootloader
3. Custom recovery
4. ROMssssss
This is the forum for the S4 version, the One XL. There is a seperate forum for the international version.

Wrong Forum. This is the Evita One X(L) forum
With an international your first order of things is correct.
Hi,I had just received my Jellybean OTA update just a few hours ago,and I decided to root it,but don't know how to...Can anyone tell me the steps?
First you'll need to unlock your device. This will wipe everything on your phone so make sure you have a backup of important stuff.
Look at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Nexus_S:_Full_Update_Guide#Unlocking_the_Bootloader on how to unlock the bootloader.
After you've unlocked it, you'll need to install the latest CWM Recovery. It's explained at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Ne...de#Installing_the_ClockworkMod_Recovery_Image and you can find the latest version of CWM at http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Then use the recovery to flash superuser. You can find superuser at http://androidsu.com/superuser/ Download the latest version for ARM and put it on your phone. Then in the bootloader choose recovery and install zip from sdcard and choose the superuser zip file.
You can find a more complete guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623481
Thanks, I will try it out tomorrow

You currently can't root 10.6.1.14.10 without a custom recovery. But you can install TWRP via fastboot on an unlocked unrooted tablet, then simply install a rooted custom ROM from TWRP.
Hello? I was recently s-off, unlocked and using Adrenaline sense 6 lollipop rom.
Yesterday, I went back to stock 4.4.4 using the ruu file. I still have the s-off and unlocked.
Now my questions are..
1. Can I install custom recovery first then root by using supersu.zip file?
2. Or do I need to root first by weaksauce or something then get custom recovery?
You can go straight to installing a custom recovery. From there you can either flash the su binaries to achieve pure stock rooted rom or you could flash any one of the custom roms available which are pre-rooted.
Hi guys,
I got a spare European S6 and I want to load a custom ROM.
I used to flash ROM on Nexus S and workflow was simple and easy (unlocked BL -> flash TWRP -> flash ROM).
So, I am not a noob to flashing but new to Samsung devices.
I'd like to have an up-to-date help on steps to follow... I heard about Samsung devices have kind of security to bypass...
Hello,
To install any custom ROM on Samsung devices, you will need to do:
- Install custom boot
- ROOT (phone unlock to engineer mode)
I highly recommend TWRP and Magisk.
