Mod Edit: Unstickied, placed link in wiki:http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nexus_One Thanks
This is an alternative approach of rooting the Nexus without touching the bootloader.
-no downgrade neccessary
-no battery modification neccessary
-no messing around with SD card slot
-you don't even have to open your phone...
Working and confirmed for ALL ROMs, including European Vodafone EPF30/FRF91, Korean FRF91, AT&T/T-Mo Stock including FRF91

Notes:
-------
- The exploit wasn't found by me (see credits), I just implemented it as a proof of concept for the Nexus One
- Basically this method should work on all currently known ROM versions.
- I tested it on EPF30, Korean FRF91, Vodafone FRF91, US Stock FRF91.
- As usual when doing this kind of stuff: DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
- It could even work on other Android devices as long as their system partition is at
/dev/block/mtdblock3/ with yaffs2 file system and there is still some space left on the system partition (without any changes).

Prerequisites:
-------
- Locked Nexus One
- Latest Android SDK incl. USB drivers
- Working ADB
- The file "freenexus.zip"

-------
Step-by-step guide:
-------
1. install android sdk & USB drivers
2. extract the content of the zip file into the tools directory of SDK (i.e. \android-sdk-windows\tools)
-> For all Newbies: Take care that you extract the files directly to the tools folder and don't create a new subdirectory freenexus within tools!!! If you did, delete the folder and extract again!!! Check twice that there is no FOLDER freenexus in your tools directory before you continue!!!
3. open a command prompt (Windows: Start, Run, "cmd", OK; Linux: Terminal)
4. change to SDK tools directory (i.e. cd \android-sdk-windows\tools)
5. connect Nexus to USB and check if debugging mode is activated
(Settings/Application/Development/USB Debugging)
6. run "adb devices" in shell and see if there is a device listed. if not back to step 5 or reinstall USB-drivers
7a. for Windows: run "freenexus.bat" in command shell (this copies the neccessary files to /data/local/tmp)
7b. for Linux or manual installation: run the following commands
Code:
adb push freenexus /data/local/tmp/freenexus
adb push Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk
adb push su /data/local/tmp/su
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/freenexus
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox
8. run the following commands:
Code:
adb shell
(you should see a "$" prompt now)
cd /data/local/tmp
9. on your phone go to a screen where you can easily toggle wifi (widget or settings/wireless)
10. be prepared to toggle wifi immediately after you execute the next step
11. run
Code:
./freenexus
12. toggle wifi on
13. you should see something like that:
[*] Android local root exploid (C) The Android Exploid Crew
[*] Modified by ak for HTC Nexus One
[+] Using basedir=/sqlite_stmt_journals, path=/data/local/tmp/freenexus
[+] opening NETLINK_KOBJECT_UEVENT socket
[+] sending add message ...
[*] Try to invoke hotplug now, clicking at the wireless
[*] settings, plugin USB key etc.
[*] You succeeded if you find /system/bin/rootshell.
[*] GUI might hang/restart meanwhile so be patient.
13b) if you get "permission denied" error, you have most likely not followed the big red newbie hint after point 2. check this by entering "ls -l", if you see a "drwxr-xr-x" and not "-rwxr-xr-x" in front of the line where freenexus is listed you did not follow properly. Search the posts in the thread on how to correct this.
14. run
Code:
rootshell
15. if you succeeded you will be asked for a password, if not try again from step 10
16. enter the password "freenexus"
17. now you should see a "#" as a prompt -> you are root now
18. run the following commands:
Code:
./busybox cp busybox /system/bin
chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
busybox cp Superuser.apk /system/app
busybox cp su /system/bin
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
rm /system/bin/rootshell
exit
exit
19. Check if you keep root rights:
Code:
adb shell
su
20. after you executed the su command the Superuser app on your device should ask you for allowance
21. you should see the "#" prompt again, if you didn't get that try su again
22. done

Comments:

- General
If you are not planning to wipe your data partition (what you probably will do when installing CM6 first time) you should think about deleting all the temp files still lying in /data/local/tmp (for safety reasons and to have more space on /data):
Code:
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
rm busybox
rm su
rm Superuser.apk
rm freenexus
rm flash_image (will only exist if you executed the steps below in recovery section)
- Installation of Custom Recovery
If you only want root rights you are done here. If you want to install custom ROMs you have to install
a custom recovery first. Easiest way would be to download "ROM Manager" from the market. There are plenty of tutorials on how to install custom recovery/ROM at xda.
Edit: It is safer to install the recovery manually. In this case or for those of you running into problems with installing custom recovery with ROM Manager (doesn't stick) you can continue with
these steps (without remount of system partition, now tested successfully):
1) Download recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1.img to the root directory of your SD-Card
- Note: UnMount your SD-Card after copying these files, but keep your phone plugged in
- or don't mount SD-Card at all and push the file via adb to /sdcard
2) Save file "flash_image" to sdk tools directory:
3) In your terminal run
Code:
adb push flash_image /data/local/tmp/flash_image
adb shell
su
- At this point, it will hang until you choose "Allow" on your phone with the SuperUser app pop-up
- $ should now be replaced with #
5) run the following commands:
Code:
[COLOR="Red"]mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system[/COLOR]
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 755 flash_image
[COLOR="Red"]./flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1.img[/COLOR]
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p
(and if everything worked fine:)
rm flash_image
Alternatively you can continue with step 9 and then steps 16-24 from the old rooting method tutorial
to manually install Amon_RA's recovery. You will also need the file flash_image for that (link taken from HBOOT thread).
- HBOOT
If you rooted from a Korean Rom or have installed the latest Vodafone Rom via PASSIMG you probably have
HBOOT 0.35 which makes it currently difficult to install Cyanogenmod (there is an assertion failure in the install script, at least with CM6 RC1/2. Maybe future versions of CM6 will include HBOOT 0.35 in the script) or other custom ROMs. (You are still on 0.33 if you just installed the Vodafone OTA Update)
There is a tutorial to revert HBOOT here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726258
Instead of using the EPF30 image you can also use any other PASSIMG file (at least if it has HBOOT 0.33,
otherwise this step wouldn't make sense...)
Note that when flashing a PASSIMG with a different HBOOT version there is a reboot after the HBOOT has been flashed, then after reboot the PASSIMG will be loaded again and the rest of the image will be flashed.
To check HBOOT and Radio version: press and hold trackball while turning on the phone. To exit select Reboot with Vol+/- and press Power button.
Caution:
After you have reverted your HBOOT, you have lost your root rights and you are back on stock recovery.
But you can (or have to) repeat the above procedure to get root rights back.
Edit:
The downgrading also downgrades your radio!!! Before installing CM6 you have to flash a Froyo Radio!
Latest one can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723839
-------
Troubleshooting:
-------
After trying to flash a custom ROM with ROM Manager one user wasn't able to boot the phone normally and also no longer able to boot to recovery. In this rare case try to download a compatible PASSIMG file:
For example EPF30 (Europe Vodafone 2.1)
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Pas...ogle_WWE_1.14.1700.1_EPF30_release_signed.zip
or FRF91 (Europe Vodafone 2.2):
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Pas...on_VF_2.15.151.5_R_FRF91_MFG_Shipment_ROM.zip (<-this one is currently a zip in zip. You have to extract it once to get the working PASSIMG.zip)
(Appropriate US-PASSIMGs can also be found on shipped-roms.com, most likely EPE76)
Rename the file to PASSIMG.zip (case sensitive, Windows users take care that the file isn't called PASSIMG.zip.zip hidden extension)
Copy it to main folder of SD card.
Boot phone into Bootloader mode (press and hold trackball when turning on the phone, until fastboot mode starts)
Select Bootloader mode by pressing power button.
The bootloader should then start to analyse the PASSIMG.zip and ask you afterwards to install it.
You're phone (not your SD) will be completely wiped after the procedure but should work again (and can be rooted again...)
sweet!! been waiting for this! will try it tomorrow as soon as i wake up! will report back then!

Massive thanks.
Hi, I have a Italian Vodafone Nexus One with FRF91, i have followed all the steps and now in my apps there is Superuser Permission with green light. It means that i have root rights? Can I install Cyanogen Mod now? Thanks, excuse my English.
Worked perfectly on a stock AT&T N1 with FRF91. Thanks!
Excellent tutorial step by step...great work!
Can i change the password at the end?
So once gaining root, I can flash a custom recovery with rom manager without braking/unlocking the boot loader?
@fc_themaster:
if the superuser app popped up at step 19/20 then you have root rights. you can try to install ROM Manager from the market and install a custom recovery with that porgram. it also needs root rights so superuser should pop up again at that point.
@PSeeCO: you don't need to change a password. the password was only used for the temporary rootshell which you (hopefully) deletetd with the command "rm /system/bin/rootshell" in step 18. From that point on root rights are controlled via the Superuser app. If you install an already rooted custom ROM it is obsolete anyway.
@jivemaster: yes, we can! just use ROM Manager from the market to install custom recovery.

thanks in advance
I'm a noob but did you by chance forget to Root your device?
Is it a .zip or .img file?
I'll give you a simple tutorial
1. Right-Click platform-tools and click Open CMD from here.
2. To be sure the device is detected do
adb devices
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2.1 (optional) If no device is detected follow this tutorial.
3. extract the zip file to platform-tools and put the .img file in the same folder.
4. type the following commands:
adb push recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-hero.img /data/local/
adb push flash_image /data/local/
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-hero.img
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/flash_image
adb shell rm /data/local/rights/mid.txt
adb shell ln -s /dev/mtd/mtd1 /data/local/rights/mid.txt
adb reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. the device will reboot wait until it is on the homescreen again.
6. then type the following command:
adb shell /data/local/flash_image recovery /data/local/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-hero.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
7. and you are done
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please make sure you read and understand everything written in the post before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications and must be sure of what it does
This guide is only working on Pace 1!
This guide will give you a way to preview version 2.0.6.12 on your device. The Rom has no OTA, so you'll have to wait for a thread update.
If you like my work you can buy me a cheescake: https://www.paypal.me/JRevenge
P.S The Rom is only in Chinese or partly in English
Guide:
Requirements
Unlocked Bootloader: if you don't have the bootloader unlocked, you can apply here https://nicolasagliano.com/lo-sblocco-del-bootloader-e-arrivato/
Cables: Charging base with NOT original cable (it is very important)
Drivers: It is very important to have the adb / fastboot drivers installed, if you don't have them, follow this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Health: A lot of calm and experience!
Installation
1. You need to download the following package and unpack it in the adb folder (it is normally found in c: \ adb)
2. Connect the Pace to the computer using its charging base and the micro-usb cable (it is very important that the PC sees the internal memory of the device in the exploration of resources)
3. Open the Windows command terminal and enter the following command
Code:
C:\adb
4. Once you are inside the adb folder, you will need to enter the following commands
Code:
adb shell reboot bootloader
By doing this, the device will enter the fastboot mode (you will notice it from the Pace screen)
5. Now it's most important flash the recovery image, enter the following commands
Code:
fastboot boot rec.img
6. Now wait for the device to restart (it takes a few minutes)
7. Now in sequence, the following commands:
Code:
adb root
adb remount
8. Now it's time to copy data into the device, typing these commands:
Code:
adb push boot.img /data/media/0/
adb push system.img /data/media/0/
adb push md5s.txt /data/media/0/
adb push flash_rom.sh /data/media/0/
Once you have copied the files (system will take a while to copy) you will have copied all the files
9. Enable root permissions
Code:
adb shell
10. Put this command in sequence:
Code:
cd /data/media/0/
sh flash_rom.sh
11. Wait for the end of the installation and restart with the following command
Code:
adb reboot
If you want to have English as a language, partially, after the first start, you will have to give the following command:
Code:
adb shell setprop persist.sys.language en
adb reboot
Now the installation is finished! Congratulations!
I thank @Cracklydisc (Nicola) for contributing to the installation instructions.
I will try to update the post more often based on the release of updates. Also below you can download the updated version of the application (in step with the developer path)
N.B For Italians who will install it, it will be in Italian, for others in English
It is possible to download it at the following link (2.4.0 version)
Reserved
If you want to see some photos and some comparison with the Stratos, you can do it at the following link
If you want to stay up-to-date on the Amazfit world, you can follow this Telegram channel (it's currently being created)
If you want help on the international group on Facebook, follow this link
Thank you for sharing the files and the info. A few questions:
- Can it be installed over any other Pace firmware, either stock or custom?
- The only files that are flashed are the kernel and system, no other firmware files are needed, like recovery?
- What is the recommended Amazfit app to be used with it? Latest CN version, latest DEV CN or any is fine?
- Finally, the linked AmazIT 2.4.0 corresponds to what Amazfit app?
thank, i try tonight
fastboot boot rec.img error to many link ?? how to fix
Just some info, fastboot boot rec.img does not flash the rec.img, it just boots the image that you send to the device.
There are some problems with the flashing files
1. the rec.img does not work correctly, it just hangs in fastboot and doesn't restart the device as root in adb. I used a different boot image to gain root access.
2. the md5 signature for boot.img that is stored in md5s.txt does not match the real md5 signature of boot.img. I manually modified it to get past the check in flash_rom.sh.
3. the command for copying system.img in flash_rom.sh is wrong.
in the file, the command is "dd if=system.img | dd of=/dev/block/platform/jzmmc_v1.2.0/by-name/system bs=4096"
but it should be "dd if=system.img of=/dev/block/platform/jzmmc_v1.2.0/by-name/system bs=4096"

in linux, just use md5sum <file>. this will give you the md5 hash of the file.
Fastboot boot too many links too here...
Are you sure of your instructions ? Seems strange = no recovery flashed in the process...
Good md5 : F0C9357B882C3AF11BB81815F39BDF9C boot.img (replace in md5 file)
Boot another recovery
updating/checking
Thanks for your efforts and just a quick feedback:
Running on an international ROM Stratos4Pace v0.1b2_2.3.0.8 my first step was to unpair the watch from the Playstore Amazfit app.
After changing the md5 of boot.img and adopting the flash_rom.sh as stated previously the ROM installed fine (I skipped booting rec.img since I was running a rooted rom [Stratos4Pace v0.1b2_2.3.0.8]).
Paired it with the AmazIt app afterwards, which connects to a Mifit Account I previously created.
Had some problems with setting the watch to english but after a while it worked with the following commands (which seems essentially the same like written in the first post).
adb shell
setprop persist.sys.language en
exit
adb reboot
Lost my previous tracks in the Mifit app since I was before on the international ROM (no regrets).
ROM doesn't have Root!
Edit: Settings - About is crashing my settings, otherwise English translations seem to be working fine.

Being an official Rom, it doesn't have root permissions. If you come from an official Rom, you need to install the temporary root of STRATOSfied

Since this is an official ROM, no, unless someone find a way to hack it.
You can obtain a temporary root with a crafted boot image, and it will last until the next reboot.

What is init.d?
init.d is a folder placed in /system/etc wich has been legendary used since the old android times to run scripts at boot. I've decided to make this simple script becouse lots of my users on my AmazBoost MOD thread were asking how they can enable init.d on stock ROM or simply on an unsupported ROM. It's easy to run and doesn't require any kind of coding skills!
What you need
- AmazFit Stratos/Pace
- Rooted ROM
How to install
1) Download the mod zip from download link and unzip it
2) Connect the wath to the PC
3) Place the enable.sh file inside your adb folder and open there a command prompt (or terminal for Mac OS/linux) then type the following codes:
Code:
adb root
adb push enable.sh /sdcard/
adb shell sh /sdcard/enable.sh
4) Done!
5) You NEED to reinstall the mod running the installer after every ROM update!

First release!
Download and enjoy!

There is a typo in the script:

Ooops didn't check it perfectly just used a Compiler to see if there were some syntax errors, thanks I'll updating the file now!

Script name and command name don't match either, enabler.sh
I think that I found a solution..I wish is helpful !
1) First of all you need to have unlock bootloader and then run the temporary root
(check in "PERMANENT INSTALL" description)
AFTER ROOTING LETS GO FOR UNIT SUPPORT!
I used the init.d support through terminal emulator
2) Download the term-init.sh v3 .
3) Connect the watch to your PC.
4) Place the term-init.sh file inside your adb folder and open the command prompt.. then type the following codes:
(if adb shell or adb root not working, try to disconnect and connect your watch )
Code:
adb root
adb push term-init.sh /sdcard/
(or you can drag and drop it in your sdcard)
adb shell sh /sdcard/ term-init.sh
5) After that go and run the installer.bat file from Amazboost folder!
6) Done!

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>adb shell sh /sdcard/term-init.sh
Init.d Enabler by Ryuinferno @ XDA
Script NOT running as root!

Please type 'su' first before running this script...

I think that I found a solution..I wish is helpful !
1) First of all you need to have unlock bootloader and then run the temporary root
(check in "PERMANENT INSTALL" description)
AFTER ROOTING LETS GO FOR UNIT SUPPORT!
I used the init.d support through terminal emulator
2) Download the term-init.sh v3 .
3) Connect the watch to your PC.
4) Place the term-init.sh file inside your adb folder and open the command prompt.. then type the following codes:
(if adb shell or adb root not working, try to disconnect and connect your watch )
Code:
adb root
adb push term-init.sh /sdcard/
(or you can drag and drop it in your sdcard)
adb shell sh /sdcard/ term-init.sh
5) After that go and run the installer.bat file from Amazboost folder!
6) Done!

hi mate, do you modify the term-init.sh?
may i know which version of busybox that you are using?
currently im using the busybox from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78031249&postcount=107
and when i try to install term-init.sh, i encountered below error:
Code:
grep applet NOT FOUND!
run-parts applet NOT FOUND!
Required applets are NOT FOUND!
Please reinstall busybox!

i have same problem do u find any solution?
Is anybody enable init.d on stock fw?
Hi,
I'm trying to install the Amazboost tweaks on my rooted Stratos (A1619) with Global FW (2.3.10.5) but I suspect that the installation of the tweaks via busybox is not running correctly. I have followed precisely the procedures with success but there is no log in the AmazBoost/LOGS folder after the reboot.
I have installed the last version of busybox (V1.29.3 for MIPS) in both /system/bin and /system/xbin but no log at all.
Some posts said that init.d is not working with stock fw.
Is that true?
Is anybody can help me to check if init.d can be enabled on my rooted Stratos (A1619) with Global FW (2.3.10.5)? And how can we verify that it works?
Thanks
Hi,
I'm still trying to understand why init.d is not running on my Stratos (A1619) with Global FW (2.3.10.5).
The init.d script refers to the "run-parts" file located in the /system/xbin/ directory.
But run-parts is not present.
I have found one file coming from the xperia x10 forum but it is not working on the Stratos: /system/xbin/run-parts: not executable: 32-bit ELF file
Is somebody could provide me this run-parts file compliant with the Stratos? (or help me to understand why the amazboost tweaks are not correctly installed)
hello all
i have a gigaset GS 270 plus, and everything i try to do on it fails
i backed up the data on my sd card using the recovery , but on restoring on an identical phone (trait for trait) it says "the backup file is out of date please rebackup your data
on the source phone i tried the same process and it went on smoothly but i cant risk formating, rooting , enabling adb, restoring and removing pasword because of the above problem.
i have 13 backup files of up to 25 gigabytes which i am unable to recover or decrypt on a pc even following the commands given on linux from this thread
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2408788&page=2
the phone connects in fastboot mode but not in adb mode
Fortunately it is a mediatek device and i have tried to back up the rom using this tutorial
https://android.stackexchange.com/q...nd-full-rom-without-root-for-mediatek-devices
but all to no avail
i tried a readback of my rom using help from @Alecxs using WwR MTK v2.51 from Ilya Aleksandrovich
but upon creating the scatter file it gives an error
https://ibb.co/Sd3HTfM
please i need anyhelp whatsoever to recover the files from the phone either by a readback or by unlocking the phone or any other method which i have not thought of
Thank you in advance!!!
search for stock ROM, use that preloader.bin

thank you let me try
Maybe that device has secure boot preventing SP Flash Tool from readback, try another download agent
we can help you porting TWRP but we can't help on readback, you are the only one who has physical access. if you follow the tutorial and it fails, maybe the tutorial is not working for this device
if you are using windows 10, try another PC with Windows 7 or try SP Flash Tool for Linux
edit: there are other methods for creating scatter file. post the output of fastboot getvar all

No, except you do a readback of metadata from SP Flash Tool. Note when login credentials are involved in encryption, you won't be able to decrypt even on rooted device
port TWRP recovery from Cubot X18 Plus and flash on locked bootloader, that's (besides official solutions) your best option to remove screen lock

you have two devices of same model? great, let's root the spare phone!
take away the source phone for now (the important one)
Do on the target phone only:
WARNING: factory reset - all data lost!
1) unlock the bootloader
- enable developer options by tapping build number seven (7x) times (in settings - about phone)
- enable OEM unlocking in developer options
- install platform-tools and connect device to PC in fastboot mode (Volume Down + Power)
- install usb drivers and check usb connection (from platform-tools directory in cmd.exe)
- unlock bootloader and confirm with Volume Up (factory reset)
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot reboot
2) temporary root device
- enable developer options
- enable usb-debugging
- connect to PC and install usb drivers
- check adb devices (from platform-tools directory in cmd.exe)
- on the phone display permanently authorize the incoming RSA key
- download mtk-su to PC
- adb push binary to /data/local/tmp
- chmod executing permissions
- run the binary until you see # prompt (multiple times)
Code:
adb push mtk-su /data/local/tmp
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 0755 mtk-su
./mtk-su
3) backup boot.img / recovery.img
- get list of partitions
- dump partitions into files (in # shell)
- copy files to Internal storage
- copy files to PC (via MTP)
Code:
ls -d $(find /dev/block -name by-name)/*
cat /dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11120000.msdc0/by-name/boot > boot.img
cat /dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11120000.msdc0/by-name/recovery > recovery.img
cp -v *.img /sdcard
4) root device with Magisk Manager
- install Magisk Manager
- open the app
- advanced settings - preserve force encryption
- keep avb/dm-verity
- tap install (2x) times
- select and patch a file - boot.img
- copy magisk_patched.img to PC
- reboot into fastboot
- flash the patched boot
Code:
fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
fastboot reboot
5) create your own TWRP recovery
... to be continued
(send me recovery.img will try to make TWRP and you can test)
edit: please do not full quote this post (i want update later). i will receive instant notification for answer button as well

thanks im on it!
Thanks a lot @aIecxs for the posting, tried with a Gigaset GS270 but the mtk-su is not working:
1|Gigaset_GS270:/data/local/tmp $ ./mtk-su -v
Failed critical init step 1
Any workaround to get this device rooted?
Best regards
