Nexus One to CyanogenMod How Do You Do It

So i read a story on Engadget that would allow the Nexus One to record videos in 720p. I wanted to do that but i was told that i had to modify my phone with some program called cyanogenmod. I was linked to this guide:
edit: well i'm not allowed to post links on this forum, that sucks. I'll just post a snippit of the webpage.
Prerequisites
In order to flash a fully stock Nexus One with any ROM, you must first unlock the bootloader of your Nexus One and flash a Recovery Image. If your Nexus One's bootloader is already unlocked, and you already have a Recovery Image installed, skip this section.
WARNING: UNLOCKING THE NEXUS ONE'S BOOTLOADER WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY!
You will need the fastboot shell on your computer to use the commands to unlock the bootloader. Follow the Install the Latest Android sdk guide, to get the ADB and Fastboot shell on your computer.
Before continuing, you should first copy all the necessary files to your SD Card. Doing so will make the entire process much easier and faster. Please do the following to copy the files from your computer to SD card root if your Mass storage is not mounted or you get error when trying to access the mass storage drive.
Connect Nexus One to Computer
Make sure the computer picks up the newly connected device and shows a new mass storage drive
On the phone, pull down the top notification slider, you should see an item called "USB Connected"
Click on the "USB Connected" and click Mount. This will make the phone SD Card available for use with computer
Copy the required files
Files you will need:
Download the latest release of CyanogenMod for the Nexus One and the Google Addon from here Mirror1 Mirror2 Mirror3 Mirror4 Mirror5 Mirror6 Copy these two to your SD Card
Download the latest release of Amon_Ra's Nexus One Recovery Image from - Leave the recovery.img on your pc
Rename Amon_Ra's recovery file "Recovery.img", and make sure you have copied the above two zip files to the root of your SD Card.
Power off your phone.
Boot into Bootloader Mode.
Hold down the trackball, and press the power button. Do not let go of the trackball until the phone boots into bootloader mode (You will see a white screen with three skating bugdroids).
Unlock the Bootloader.
Make sure your phone is connected to your PC.
On your PC, navigate to the AndroidSDK\tools folder.
Hold down the Shift key, Right click on an empty space inside the folder, and press "Open command window here". (note: on Windows XP, this might not work. Instead, you may need to open the command window by going to Start - Run - Type "cmd" - press Enter, then type "cd c:\AndroidSDK\tools" (without the quotes), press Enter)
Inside the command prompt that opens up, type in the following command:
fastboot oem unlock
On your phone, a prompt will open up, asking you if you are sure you want to unlock your bootloader, and again warning you that doing so will void your warranty. If you agree to these terms, press Volume Up to select Yes, and then press the Power button to confirm.
Your phone will restart. Let the phone boot into Android. Switch the phone back to usb debugging (unlocking bootloader causes a wipe, reseting settings), and then Power Off the phone.
Once again, boot into bootloader mode.
Flash Recovery.
Note: The Recovery.img should NOT be on the SD Card, it should be in the current working directory.
On the command prompt you opened earlier, type in the following command:
fastboot flash recovery Recovery.img
The recovery image should now be installed on your Nexus One.

But i'm lost. I downloaded all the necessary files so far but i'm confused up to this point:
Boot into Bootloader Mode.
Hold down the trackball, and press the power button. Do not let go of the trackball until the phone boots into bootloader mode (You will see a white screen with three skating bugdroids).
Unlock the Bootloader.
Make sure your phone is connected to your PC.
On your PC, navigate to the AndroidSDK\tools folder.
Hold down the Shift key, Right click on an empty space inside the folder, and press "Open command window here". (note: on Windows XP, this might not work. Instead, you may need to open the command window by going to Start - Run - Type "cmd" - press Enter, then type "cd c:\AndroidSDK\tools" (without the quotes), press Enter)
Inside the command prompt that opens up, type in the following command:

I'm on a Mac so i dunno if that makes a difference to how i approach this. but when i power my phone down and boot it into bootloader mode, i can't access the phone on the computer because the phone isn't mounted, its at the white screen. how can i access this androidSDK/tools folder?

Restore Wifi Xoom with 3.1

While trying to unlock xoom, after the 3.1 update, I'm now stuck at the Dual Core screen.
Can anyone guide me to resolution?
Thanks in Advance.

what steps did you take?

I just followed the steps of:
This will ERASE your Xoom.
1) Get the Motorola USB drivers MOTODEV > Documentation & Tools > USB Drivers (you need to sign up on their but maybe you can google this and find it as well)
2) Get the Android SDK Android SDK | Android Developers (you only really need the fastboot executable file for your host OS)
2.5) - I will soon put together a windows pack for usb drivers & fastboot so you don't have to download all this stuff just to do one task.
3) Power off your Xoom
4) Press and hold the volume down button while pressing the power button
Even after the Xoom turns back on keep it pressed down and you'll see some starting fastboot protocol text on the top left of the screen.
5) Open a command window in your sdk\tools folder (not platform tools and depending on when you get the SDK you may need to copy over some DLL files)
6) type:
fastboot oem unlock
7) read the warning on your Xoom's screen, hit volume up if you wish.
You're now free to put whatever data you want on your tablet. Cheers.

Did I miss anything?

Can anyone help me get back on track?

I was able to get my xoom restore with the following steps:
: This will wipe your Xoom
You're going to need to have the Android SDK installed. You can download it here.
Download the official HRI39 build from Motorola here.
Unzip the files in MZ600_HRI39.zip and move or copy them to the /platform-tools folder in your SDK folder.
Connect your Xoom to your computer.
Type adb reboot bootloader. Wait for it to reboot into the bootloader.
Type the following commands, waiting for each to finish before continuing:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
You've now successfully flashed your Xoom back to stock. Now it's time to relock the device.
Type fastboot oem lock, wait for the menu, the press the volume-down button. Then press the volume up button. It'll take a minute or so, then reboot. You're now completely back to stock and ready for the update.

Bricked after JB update

I don't know if i can call it bricked but its stuck on the google logo. I can press volume up and power and get into fastboot (i believe thats that its called).
Is there anything i can do or send it to Samsung?
I have no problem with rooting it if thats my only option.
Edit: when i try to go to recovery from fast boot i get the animation you get when its updating. After about 15 seconds it shows the android on its back with an exclamation.

Ok, you'll need a Windows computer to fix this. Linux should work too but if you're using Linux I guess you could figure out what would be the instructions for Linux yourself. Mac would work too but I don't know how.
Download and install the Android SDK on your computer from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Open the SDK Manager (there should be a shortcut in your start menu) and install "Android SDK Tools" and "Android SDK Platform-tools" and "Google USB Driver" (it's in Extra).
Turn your phone off, take the battery out, look at the bottom of the phone and write down the model number.
Now go to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images and download the factory image for your model for version 4.0.4.
You'll need something like 7-Zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) to open it.
Copy image-so....zip, radio-crespo...img and bootloader-crespo...img from the factory image to the platform-tools directory (on most computers it will be C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools and you'll need Administrator rights).
Now open the platform-tools directory from the Android SDK and right click on an empty space while holding the SHIFT button and select "Open command prompt here".
Put the battery back in your phone and press Power while holding the Volume-Up button so it will boot into fastboot mode. Then connect it to your pc.
If Windows starts complaining about drivers then point it your SDK installation directory (include subfolders) or use 7-Zip to unpack http://www.mediafire.com/?5a7gou9droidi53 and point Windows to the directory where you unpacked it. More info on http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/97061-driver-install-device-manager.html
When you type "fastboot devices" and press Enter in the command prompt you opened before it should list one device (being your phone).
If you haven't unlocked your phone before type "fastboot oem unlock" and press Enter. Follow the instructions on the screen on your phone to complete the unlock.
Next type "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-crespo...img" (you can press TAB to auto-complete) and press Enter. (THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP, IF THIS GOES WRONG YOUR PHONE IS SCREWED. Don't continue if another step didn't succeed. If this works, then you can do anything with it.)
Now type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press Enter and wait for your phone to reboot into fastboot mode.
Next type "fastboot flash radio radio-crespo...img" (you can press TAB to auto-complete) and press Enter.
Now type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press Enter and wait for your phone to reboot into fastboot mode.
Next type "fastboot -w update image-....zip" and press Enter.
Now type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press Enter and wait for your phone to reboot into fastboot mode.
Next download http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.0.7-crespo.img and also put it in the platform-tools directory.
Then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.0.7-crespo.img" and press Enter.
Now type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and press Enter and wait for your phone to reboot into fastboot mode.
Now use the volume keys on your phone to navigate to the word Recovery and press the Power button to boot into recovery.
You're now in CWM Recovery, use the volume keys and the power button to go to Mounts & Storage > Mount USB Storage (you might have to scroll down). Now it will come up on your pc and you can transfer the update file for Jelly Bean to your phone. You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27965168&postcount=1 (use the one for your model for IMM76D).
Unmount the usb storage, go back to the main menu and go to Install Zip from sdcard > Choose zip from sdcard and open the update file you just transferred to your phone.
You can now go back to the main menu and choose "reboot system now". It will ask you if you want to remove the auto recovery installation, do that.
That's all, you now have a clean and working Jelly Bean installation.

Did you even read his problem and what he has already tried?

Check to see if fastboot is seeing your device. Enter the command fastboot devices. It should give you your serial number in the command prompt.

Had the same problem at first.
I just wiped and reflashed and worked like a charm

yea it showed up on the phone. i did volume up to yes and then pressed power. It reboots. And gives error on CMD.
Also lockstate is still locked.

Try using this tool: http://www.redmondpie.com/unlock-bo...d-nexus-7-with-all-in-one-nexus-root-toolkit/
I was unrooted and everything after I flashed a Jelly Bean rom and it seemed like nothin i did could get me CWM back so I used that tool and it pretty much did it automatically. It has an arsenal of commands that could work for you hopefully, good luck

That means we can't use fastboot because the bootloader is still locked. And we can't use adb because we can't boot into Android. I guess that the partition table is f*cked up.
It's possible that you can use ODIN and download mode to fix it but I'm not sure. Because the Nexus has fastboot I barely use ODIN, I hope somebody who's familiar with ODIN and with what it does reads this and helps you.
Be careful with ODIN though, now I know what your problem is I would consider going to a Samsung service center. You didn't root or unlock it so they can't blame you for doing something wrong or voiding the warranty. Just tell them this happened after the OTA update and don't tell them you did it manually.

It does the same as the guide above, only sends fastboot commands so it wouldn't help.

Ok, the problem/solution doesn't change. If you would have done it manually you would have flashed it in recovery but the automatic update process does the same (it instructs the recovery to auto flash it on reboot).

[Guide] Newbie to Photon Q 4G LTE Rooting w/ Ice Cream Sandwich

Purpose: The purpose of this guide is to help collect all information and steps needed to root a Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE and use Clockwork Mod. When I looked for tutorials there were no updated ones that detailed how to do this with the latest android update (as of May 2014) for the Photon. Some steps may have been / were copied from various posts & guides around the internet, again this is just a collection of information.
Goal: A user who just opened his Photon Q 4G LTE and did all the factory updates should be able to get his phone rooted by the end of the guide.
Note: I started this guide but sadly the ribbon cable on my Photon Q 4G LTE broke and I just decided to switch carriers. I never got back to proof reading this guide while it was still fresh in my memory but if anyone sees and issues just let me know.
Unlock the Bootloader:
I unlocked the bootloader because I wanted to install ClockWork Mod and read that you had to. Not sure if you need to do this just for root access. I wanted CWM so that I could create a backup of this phone as is came from the factory so if I want to restore down the road I can. Unlike my Samsung it seems difficult to find the factory software for the Photon Q so this seemed like the best way to get it. Also nice to have the ability to take backups of my phone every so often. Assuming your phone is new I recommend that you also take a factory backup once clockwork mod is on before installing any other apps.
1. Download and install the drivers for the Photon Q from Motorola here ( https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481 )
2. Download this ZIP package which contains the tools you need for most of the steps here ( https://od.lk/f/MjRfMjc2MDc1Ml8 )
3. Head over to Motorola’s bootloader unlock site and sign in / register ( https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b )
4. Put your device in fastboot mode by powering off, waiting a moment, then pressing the “power” and “volume down” buttons simultaneously and releasing the “power” button ONLY after a few seconds. Once you see the fastboot screen you can release “volume down” as well.
5. Unzip and open the folder with the ZIP files from Step 2 and open a command prompt or terminal (in Windows 7 hold “Shift” and right-click in the folder and select “open command window here”.
6. In the prompt, type “fastboot oem get_unlock_data” without the quotes.
7. You will see 5 or so lines with either “(bootloader)” or “INFO” in front of them. Use notepad or some other basic text editor to paste together the 5 lines of output into one continuous string WITHOUT (bootloader) or ‘INFO’ or white spaces in front of them so your string looks something like this: 0A40040192024205#4C4D355631323030373731363031303332323239#BD008A672BA4746C2CE02328A2AC0C39F951A3E5#1F532800020000000000000000000000
8. Check if your device can be unlocked by pasting the string in the field on Motorola’s page on their section 6. and click “Can my device be unlocked?” If you have a problem with this most likely the string you pasted in the box has spaces or extra / incorrect characters. Try again.
9. Open the email and get the unlock code. My email ended up in the “Promotion” category inbox instead of my normal inbox so if you don’t see it check in other places such as “Spam”.
10. Put your device in fastboot mode again by powering off, waiting a moment, then pressing the “power” and “volume down” buttons simultaneously and releasing the “power” button ONLY after a few seconds. Once you see the fastboot screen you can release “volume down” as well.
11. Connect the device to the computer with a USB cable. You'll get a confirmation message on the device to indicate that it's connected.
12. Open the folder with the ZIP files from Step 2 again and open a command prompt or terminal (in Windows 7 hold “Shift” and right-click in the folder and select “open command window here”.
13. In the prompt, type “fastboot devices” without the quotes and make sure your device shows up.
14. To unlock the bootloader, enter the following in the prompt “fastboot oem unlock UNIQUE_KEY” without quotes where you replace the “UNIQUE_KEY” with the code you received in the email. It is case-sensitive.
15. If the line was entered correctly, you will see a message confirming that your device was unlocked.​Install Clockwork Mod:
1. Download the latest ClockWorkMod recovery for the Photon Q from clockworkmod.com/rommanager and place the file in the same folder as the files from Bootloader Step 2. Be careful to select the right image!
2. Connect the Photon Q to the computer via USB.
3. Open the folder with the ZIP files from Bootloader Step 2 again and open a command prompt or terminal (in Windows 7 hold “Shift” and right-click in the folder and select “open command window here”.
4. Put your device in fastboot mode again by powering off, waiting a moment, then pressing the “power” and “volume down” buttons simultaneously and releasing the “power” button ONLY after a few seconds. Once you see the fastboot screen you can release “volume down” as well.
5. In the prompt, type “fastboot devices” without the quotes and make sure your device shows
a. If you don't see your device serial number, and instead see "<waiting for device>", fastboot is not configured properly on your machine. See fastboot documentation for more info.
b. If you see "no permissions fastboot", make sure your UDEV rules are setup correctly.
6. Flash ClockWork Mod recovery onto your device by entering the following command in the prompt “fastboot flash recovery image.img” without the quotes where “image.img” is the full name of the file you downloaded in Step 1.
7. Once the flash completes successfully, reboot the device into recovery to verify the installation by powering off the phone and then holding both “Volume Up” & “Power” simultaneously until you see ClockWork Mod on the screen. From here you can take a backup (recommended) if you want to like I did.
o Note: Some ROMs overwrite recovery at boot time so if you do not plan to immediately boot into recovery to install CyanogenMod, please be aware that this may overwrite your custom recovery with the stock one. ​Root the device:
1. Boot the Photon Q normally and go to Settings>Developer Options> and enable USB Debugging. You may have to turn on Developer Options as well if they are grayed out.
2. Connect the Photon Q to the computer via USB.
3. Navigate to the folder with the ZIP files from Bootloader Step 2 again open the run.bat file.
4. Press Enter after reading the disclaimer (if you want) and wait for the file to finish running.
5. After it is done you can press enter again to close the prompt and disconnect your phone
6. After the phone reboots automatically you will see a new Super User app in your app list. You are now rooted.​

FYI installing TWRP will offer to automatically root the device for you when you reboot back into Android.
Also, CWM for our devices is horribly outdated, and last I checked completely unable to flash any KK-based ROM. I wouldn't recommend it - OpenRecovery or TWRP are my recommendations.

The two months I had my Photon Q working CWM worked great for me. Did a few backups and didn't have to re-root after each boot. But it always helps to have more options so thanks for mentioning both alternatives!

I'm pretty sure CWM won't flash KK-based ROM's as I stated previously.
Also, you shouldn't have to re-root - TWRP just does the rooting for your if you are installing a custom recovery for the first time so you don't have to do it manually .

Thanks again! I just used the stock rom but rooted during my brief time with the phone but this will help those who wish to use KK on the Photon.

Problem solved
Many people were having problems in the detection of device...i have solved it

Can anyone upload TWRP in Drive or any other place? The box link is all over the internet and is not working as it is out of bandwidth (sucks!). TIA FYI: The box link download button translates to this link

So since no one here seems to have the time or courtesy to provide the link, for the ones who needs it. Here it is.

Thanku soon much bro....just got my YU..will try it later
---------- Post added at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------
Just one question.... Can stock recovery install superuser?

http://forums.yuplaygod.com/#yuphoria.34
Actually why don't you'll try out the forums on YUPLAYGOD....
They have ALL THE POSSIBLE LINKS THERE and everything is functioning properly including links to TWRP and the rooting etc etc...
And it is better to have TWRP installed to flash SUPERSU..
Cheers
Greg
