2.3.3 cannot be rooted on Nexus, why do you think 2.3.4 can
If it's rooted somebody will post the exploit. Untill now it hasn't happened yet.
???? Lots of guys are running rooted stock 2.3.3 and 2.3.4. It's a Nexus - you don't need to use an exploit to achieve root, you just need to add a couple of files (su, busybox) to it.

Cool, nice to know I didn't know it 2.3.3 was rooted. Well it's not rootable with oneclick atleast there's that
Sure, but since you can root a nexus by the simple expedient of unlocking the bootloader, flashing clockwork recovery, then flashing su.zip to the system folder there's really no need for something like oneclick except that it's three clicks instead of one. I've always been puzzled why such programs even exist for the nexus phones at all. The only thing I can think of is that they're probably what the exploit authors are using as development systems; finding the exploits that will be needed by non-nexus phones a year later when they finally get that version.
Just use GingerBreak 1.2 roots 2.3.3 very simply.
This method did not world for me, my drivers are up and running. But when i type fastboot devices nothing happens
You may want to try again. I am running 2.3.4 on my Nexus and these steps worked perfectly for me. Took a total of about 5 minutes to get rooted with these steps. "Fastboot devices" runs with no visible change, but the following fastboot command will push the recovery image.
Note: when in the Bootloader, you have to click "Bootloader", then click "Fastboot" in order for the fastboot command to run. They did not include that 2nd step in their instructions. Without going back, the fastboot command will just sit there waiting.
DO i need to have my bootloader unlocked in order to root?
What about my issue? Just got the SDK and AVD thing and it still gives me "adpwinapi.dll missing"
Not worried about whats on the phone, got all that backed up.
Thanks, how ever I'm booted on one of my three linux distros and trying it this way.
It gives me permission denied when doing "./fastboot-linux oem unlock" even when logged in as root.
Looks like I might have to go back to windows to give it a whirl with your tip.
How would I go about doing the devices command in Windows since that's where the SDK is installed, I don't see a "devices" in the tools folder just "fastboot" and it also gives me the adbwinapi.dll missing.
Maybe I should stick with Linux and keep looking into the permission denied? Has anyone here rooted their N1 in Linux?
