Its been awhile since I had my Pixel rooted so I just rooted again,but had a couple of questions to verify before I move forward with what i want to do. Right now I got 8.1 rooted on my phone,on Slot A. I was wanting to flash a custom ROM and seen that if you are currently on Slot A, when you flash the new rom, it will flash to the B slot, is this true? Also, if I do this, could I keep my current 8.1 rooted on my Slot A, and use the Custom on the Slot B,kind of like dual booting? I do know with the custom I got to get the Gapps on the opposite slot(right?), so how would that work? I know I can google some of this but havent found a clear answer and want to make sure before I proceed. The Custom I want to use is either Havoc (which I have tried and it failed) or Lineage OS. Thanks
No one,really? Almost 30 people have looked at this and nothing? Not trying to be pushy but just looking for some advice. Not going to Google it and follow anyone so that's why I'm asking here,for expert advice.Ill figure it out on my own I guess.

OK. These forums are not to spoonfeed you. All of the questions you asked in the paragraph above have been answered across the Pixel forums multiple times. Perhaps a bit of googling would do some good.
We should pin how to install on the top of the roms page

I did Google all this stuff,and not finding clear answers to anything just like I wrote,that's why I created this post. Just asking, since this site used to be cool and helpful. Mods go ahead and delete since this ain't going nowhere.

OK so I've been waiting patiently for my Nexus One and it's finally here. So far I've rooted (uber easy) and installed RA-nexus-v1.5.3 and then installed Modaco's custom rom.
Here's my question?
How do I install the Cyanogenmod on my nexus one? Do I need "makin' bacon" ?
I tried installing the latest stable version 4.2.13 but it didn't work because it's not for Nexus One, right?
I'm 100% virgin when it comes to using a smartphone....I've always used the cheapest most basic pos I could find but my last one just broke and I couldn't resist this phone since I'm a heavy GV user. Please forgive the ignorance and thanks in advance
Your obviously a virgin to forums and how to use them as well. The search button is your friend..

Well you are a noob to all this so the first thing you need to do before you ever flash anything is read up on how everything works. There is no cyanogen rom for the nexus one yet. Before you flash anything always do a backup beforehand. Roms are not interchangeable so don't ever try and flash a rom that's for another device. Read the informative thread in the development section, all the information you need is there so read read and read again, that's the best advice I can give you. Also before posting make sure you are posting in the correct section, this should have been posted in the development section not here.
Hey guys,
I have a desire s and tried to update from cyanogen mod 7.2 (2.3.7) to the official htc 4.0 update, downloaded the wwe ruu 4.0 update from htc,
the update completed but i can't boot. just get a black screen.
I can load hboot screen by pressing and holding down the volume down and power button. how can i get the 4.0 or 2.3.7 back?
Thank you

Also, when you do ask questions, give more info about your phone so the guys who know what they're doing have a chance of working out what's wrong. :banghead:

Dont be a fool here. When people asked you to search, is because very similar or exactly the same questions/issues have already been asked, discussed and solved. And when people ask u to give more info, provide it eg, hboot, s-off, relocked.

Thanks Rain - you getting in there meant that I didn't go diving in and ripping the OP a new one for his attitude. I almost expect it from a newbie, but not from someone who has been on XDA for 7 years (even if they haven't exactly participated much). I guess that with him having not posted anything for almost the whole 7 years he probably hasn't been on here and is a virtual noob anyway.
I really don't understand why people are unable to firstly search and secondly to follow instructions given when they ask for help
Sorry that I am a noob, but I have been reading threads for a couple hours and haven't found a source that will answer my question.
What is the easiest way to get JB on my HOX?
I have ran into some that seem easy but only to find that I need a CID of HTC_xxx where mine is CWS_001. After a post directing me to this forum I have continued to try to find something to help me get JB and no luck. If there is a post that describes this please reply with it, or if anyone would be kind enough to post directions on how to do this that would be greatly appreciated.
Again, sorry that I am a noob at this, first Android phone, switched from iOS after Apple's disappointing "new phone", aka iPhone 4s with an extra row of icons.
Thanks!

First, you can use this tool to easily root your phone, (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952426), then flash any JB ROM you like and just follow the instructions.

You have to change your CID from the AT&T default before you can unlock anyway. Once you do that, it doesn't matter anymore.

The CID will be changed to 1111111 before you can unlock your phone and then root, so don't worry about that. Happy flashing!

Ok...all these noobs getting the phone for free are now pissing me off completely. If you want to overcome being a noob, you have to put in time to read and search. DO NOT DO ANYTHING BEFORE FEELING COMFORTABLE WITH THE INFORMATION AT HAND
Being a noob means you should have at least watched the noob video when signing up. If you did not you broke the first rule of XDA and you need to watch it. If you did watch it(which I suspect you did not) you would know to search and read before posting. The community is here to answer questions we all have, but not questions that have been answered over and over again. Nor to spoon feed you.
oh ****...i know whats going to happen after he gets it rooted.......Don't you?? i see a brick coming up from attempting to flash the EVO OTA.
zac507, there is no official jb sense for our phone. someone should of stated that in the first reply shame on ALL of you. if you read his OP you would see he already tried flashing the endeavoru jb rom which is why he got the CID error.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044729
Here are GREAT guides for noobs basically from start to finish here. When I was first starting I made a Q&A thread ONLY after reading enough to where I was confused and not confident in going forward without consulting others.....The key here is that you need to read and understand what you are doing first before you ask for help otherwise what good is the help?
Anyways, good luck reading and hopefully everything goes well

Thank you to everyone (except Chef). I will continue to read and do research before rooting or flashing my phone.
Chef, I have read through the forums quite a lot, asked others who have flashed other Android devices and watched many video tutorials on the subject. But before doing anything I wanted to ask a specific question that I did not see in the forums to get a clear and concise answer. Since I PAID for my phone, I do not want to brick it, hence my thread. I suggest you pull your over-inflated tech ego out of your swollen rear and learn to read. I said I was a noob at this. Noobs have questions. People on forums answer questions to help them. You, on the other hand, just act like a prick and contribute nothing to the thread. Thanks for absolutely no helpful information, please stop posting on any forum if this is how you do it.
Again, thank you to everyone else who replied. You were very helpful!

Where do I begin to correct this post?
First, let's start with the fact that you asked "what is the easiest way to get JB on HOX?" Well assuming you read, and searched and etc. you wouldn't need to ask that question considering you would have had the answer already because you in fact read and you would know that you can flash countless JB roms if bootloader unlocked and rooted.
My over inflated tech ego must have got in the way though. Even though you asked a question which is so similar to all the other JB related questions asked on this forum.
Obviously you need to continue to read(skimming and reading are different) considering the fact that you try to run an international RUU on your phone...
I was looking out for your best interest, if you want to take it to a personal level and call me a prick so be it, but I sure hope I help ingrained the fact that you need to read more before tinkering.
I think my rear is swollen I should go lay down
Zac, if you have any trouble or need help I for one would be willing to help, sent you a pm so we don't offend anyone else in here.

Where the heck is "over there"? I assume some other device.
If somebody with 400+ posts on here doesn't get the purpose of custom ROMs, what the heck have you been doing here all this time?

@jonas.anderssen
Why exactly do you want to root? Because you have a specific need, a particular application that you can't live without? Or because it's super-cool to have a rooted phone? Rooting can be simple, but it brings difficulties, such as no longer being able to install OTA updates, so you're looking at doing manual updates every month every time Google releases a new version with security updates.

There are countless threads here and also dedicated stickied threads describing step by step how to do this. If you want someone to hold your hand and don't want to do any of the reading or work, then you shouldn't root your phone. Because you'll just be on here in a month crying about how your phone is bricked and wanting someone to hold your hand again.

Hello, i am sorry i thought i replied to you but somehow i missed it. I would like to root my secondary phone because i do have some apps i cant use them without a unrooted phone. I am aware that i wont be able to install weekly updates but thats not necessary because this is a secondary phone.
I have found out a website that shows me how to root it it asked me to download fastboot, recovery clockworl. beta supersu, android studio and hamemrhead mmb2. It seems to be a complex issue but i remember in the past i used ODIn and it rooted the phone within 10 seconds without any issue. Is that still possible?
Thank you again for your time
Ten seconds, no.
But the website says to download "hamemrhead mmb2", which I suppose is Hammerhead MMB29S. If all you want is root, and not a new ROM, you can do it easily by booting into recovery (CWM or TWRP) and installing SuperSU v2.66. It's that easy. 30 seconds, maybe.
And if you're going to work on your phone you need to work on your typing skills first...
You have an excellent resource in this Q&A section, had you read prior to posting your own thread, you probably would be rooted by now.
