Help with rooting my Nexus One please

Update using official patch file
You must be runnning the stock FRF85B release with stock recovery. Copy that file to the root of your sdcard, rename to update.zip, launch recovery (power on with volume down held), press power and volume up when the warning triangle icon appears then select 'apply update.zip'.
Download: Google
Update.zip to flash with custom recovery
This is the totally stock FRF91 repacked as update.zip. The radio hasn't changed since FRF50, so if you are using it, you can keep it and install the noradio version.
Download:
- without radio image: multiupload (md5sum: 041b1e21433e636340ca6b56f141a315)
Root
To root FRF91, just flash this update.zip (contains busybox, superuser.apk, su, unsecured boot.img) (md5sum: c6c27598c210576792d6d56738a2edde)
Addons pack
Just flash this update.zip (md5sum: 7cf8074d3685681728043f367e6b35fd) contains :
- cyanogenmod 6.0 kernel (2.6.34 overclockable to 1113mhz using setcpu)
- dev tools in xbin
- hudge apn list
The three updates can be flashed at the same time (I mean without rebooting between the flashes), just flash it in this order: base system, root then addons and reboot

[Tools][script] ROM Tools v2 (Boot.img backup)(BML15 IMG backup)

ROM Tools v2 ​
Version 2 BETA
v2b (Officially v2)
Linux Script
by iamareebjamal
Automated Android script for extracting boot.img and bml15 partition​
My PC has issues so I can't use it to build mods and scripts, also, I have a very slow internet connection. That's why I don't upload my ROMs. Provided, I build EACH and EVERY one of my mod on my mobile, including those long scripts with repeating commands and making it easy for other guys to use, I could've just created a script with two commands which rendered error if used incorrectly, but I make it noob proof in every way possible so that there are minimum errors from your side and if something gets wrong, you know what it is. Even uploading 5 mb of mod makes it very difficult as I have to reupload if it fails. Writing scripts on mobile is not easy, you'll know if you have done it, it takes hours. Also, these colorful and easy guides are also made on mobile by writing BB codes ONE BY ONE by hand.
I am telling you because a person day before yesterday posted my Amazing Sounds Mod in another forum without my permission. However, he has removed it now. My work is fully open sourced for you to learn and make your own mods. But taking part of my work and posting as yours is not appreciated.
The MOST you can give me is love, prayers and Thanks

Out of the time I was absent from XDA(13 hours ) , I was searching for a method of extracting the kernel from your ROM
Imagine, you want to extract boot.img from your ROM but don't know what to do, you don't have internet to download the stock or custom kernel or simply want to extract it?
I did not find anything except the solution of Android Kitchen but what if you want to do it on your android?
As a bi product of this search, I got a lot of knowledge about the partitions used by Android system and the blocks that define them.
I also got basic knowledge about Linux Scripting.
So, I created this script that backs up your boot.img and bml15.img partitions.​
​ boot.img - kernel of your device
bootextractorv2.sh - Backs up your kernel
bml15.img - IMEI partition
bml15extractorv2.sh - Backs up your IMEI partition
Note:- SGY Toolbox also backs up and restores bml15_EFS.img. And that also with a nice user interface, I just created this mod, because I wanted to but I recommend newbies to use SGY Toolbox for backing up IMEI
However, I found no tool able to backup the kernel, so it may be very useful for some members

Re: [Tools][script] ROM Tools v1 (Boot.img extractor)(BML15 IMG extractor)
boot script - you are using dd ryt? like nandroid used but will it work if i dd-ing the generated boot.img back to bml? i tried it once, last year since im learning script but it stuck on samsung logo and got bricked
edit: please change your title instead of extractor change it to backup
your script will only create a backup to sdcard of bml partitions which is bml7 for boot.img and bml15 for BcmCP.img (baseband)
extract is not the same with backup
anyway keep it up.. i will wait for your next script cause i want a help for my work..

[GUIDE] How to flash stock/custom kernel without using recovery or odin

Here is a meathod to flash stock/custom kernel using UKF for those who are new to these things
Q: What is UKF ?
UKF is UNIVERSAL KERNEL FLASHER developed by @frapeti Original thread
Playstore link- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.frapeti.ukflash2
Prerequisites-
1. A Galaxy S4 (I9500/I9505)
2. The phone must be rooted
3. Any Stock/Custom kernel
Procedure-
-For Stock kernel
1. Download UKF from Playstore.
2. Extract the Firmware package whose kernel you want to flash there u will get boot.img file.
3. Copy that boot.img file to your SD card
4. Open UKF, Press "Select a Kernel Image (bin/img/md5)"
5. Select that boot.img file that you previously copied to your SDcard
6. Then Press 'Flash Kernel Image'
7. Thats it click on reboot and its done
-For Custom Kernel
1. Download UKF from Playstore.
2. Extract the .zip file of the kernel you want to flash.You will get a file with .img , .bin or .md5 extension
3. Copy that file to your SD card
4. Open UKF, Press "Select a Kernel Image (bin/img/md5)"
5. Select that file that you previously copied to your SDcard
6. Then Press 'Flash Kernel Image'
7. Thats it click on reboot and its done
This meathod is more useful for those who want to flash stock kernels as their flashable zips are not available.
Others who may not want to use custom recovery can find it useful
BUT DO IT CAREFULLY SELECTING WRONG IMAGE FILE CAN RESULT IN HARDBRICK TOO
HIT THANKS IF YOU FIND IT USEFUL

Works good, looks great!
Confirmed to be flashable with the flashify app.

built-in ability to flash image files
this function does not work
it repacked de image but it did not flash
i tryed to rename the recovery to recovery.img but still did not work
it is maybe a good idea to provide the zip files or what must be in the directory's of twrp dir
i tryed also the aik mobile installer zip what must be provided but it only repacked not flashed the image
or does this option only work on the nexus

How to port roms to your mtk with android device

HOW TO PORT ROMS TO YOUR MTK WITH ANDROID DEVICE
Most of us have always wanted to use custom roms but there just no custom roms for our devices so we just use different app launchers and uninstall some bloatware to make our stock rom feel good.
Rom porting makes it possible to use a custom rom on your mtk device provided in this tutorial they have the same chipset (example: mtk 6582 ported to mtk6582).
THINGS NEEDED :
1. B1 archiver / ES FILE EXPLORER
2. Root Browser.
4. A rooted device is also needed but not much important if you have CWM INSTALLED WITHOUT ROOT.
PROCEDURE :
1. Make a backup of your current rom, preferably CWM backup. You can either use MTK DROID TOOLS or ROM MANAGER...
The location of the backup will be at clockwork/backup/"date and time of the backup ". This is very important since we will need stuff from the back up and we will also use the backup to recover the phone should the ported rom give any problems.
2. At this point I presume you have already downloaded the apps needed and the custom rom you want to use which is in a zip format( this was not important but I had to bring it up cause I know zombies could be reading this.
3. Now extract the custom Rom with Root Browser. if you extracted with Root Browser then the location will be "speedsoftware/extracted/"folder with the name of the custom rom "".
4. Now open Root Browser and open the folders side by side "custom rom which will be ported at one side and other side will be used for searching for the location of the things needed for the custom rom.
5. Delete the following from the Custom rom:
Boot.img
logo.bin (You do this only when you like the Your current logo.bin)
system/vendor
system/usr
system/lib/hw
system/lib/modules
system/lib/libncurses.so
system/etc/firmware
system/etc/vold.fstab
system/etc/vold.fstab.nand
system/etc/bluetooth
6. Now that you have deleted them from the custom rom replace them. You will find the boot.img at clockworkmod/back/"folder with date and time"/boot.img. The rest of the files and folders will br located in the Root /system. Just copy and paste
7. Now at the custom Rom panel go back to where you find the "META-INF" folder,open /google/android will now long press on "updater script" and tap on open with then select text editor.
8. Check The mount & format point check something like this mmcblk0p. A number is always written after the "P" replace the number of your BASE to PORT.
9. Check multi select in B1 archiver Select ( do not archive the folder the files are in but the individual files in the folder containing the extracts)
10. Compress to ZIP file wait till the process finished. Now boot to recovery and flash your ROM
Good luck in porting Your Rom... I have used this method to port 5 roms including AROMA ROMS. and I have never ported a Rom with a pc before
MAYBE U NEED TO EXTRACT THE BOOT IMG TOO IF THIS DIDNT WORKED
DO IT AS FOLLOWS
Requirements:
-- BusyBox (cpio, gunzip and gzip is mandatory)
-- /System Write Permissions (Does not need to be a modified kernel)
-- Terminal Emulator
-- ES File Explorer (or similar)
-- Hex Editor (or use of DD)
-- Open up your android terminal emulator.
-- Now go ahead and pull your boot.img from your device (or use another one if you wish)
-- Open up your boot.img with the Hex Editor and look for: ANDROID!. Remove everything before it so that the ANDROID! header is the first to be read then save it over top of the boot.img. NOTE: This is only required if you are using a stock boot.img.
OR USE THIS IF U DIDNT UNDERSTOOD THIS
Hello Everyone, I’ll show you how to Unpack and Repack your Phone’s Boot.img & Tweak Karnel. Lets start.
Make a new folder named “boot edit” in cache/
image
