Root Is it hard to root the nexus??

mossburn · Sep 23, 2010

Im to the point where if i dont root this phone and use the volume hack, im just goin to get rid the phone..

Im tired of straining during every phone call just to hear the person im talking to.

This is a great phone, its just the volume thats killing me, i dont really want to get rid of my n1 but idk what else to do..

can i send it some where to root it??

You could always just get a good set of headphones instead or a portable mini speaker set. Doesn't matter how much the speaker volume is turned up it will always pale in comparison to a good set of headphones or mini speakers.

Rooting away the warranty just seems way too risky for me since I've had to get a swap replacement.

mossburn · Sep 23, 2010

lol you seriously think i want to walk around with a mini speaker set?? or trow some earphones in my ear whenever the phone ring?

What the hell you going on about buddy?? You dont lose warranty by rooting these days...hello?

Its so easy to root mate, stick cyanogen mod on it and bam its automatically much louder and clearer with extra gains for notify, ringer etc if you need more

This is what i used and its as easy as placing file on your phone and running it.

Then download rom manager from market (only for rooted) and pick latest cyanogen rom and the rest is automated mate

Ive attached link so you can grab it from me if you want. Hope it helps

Ps. this wont unlock your bootloader so you can always flash back as rom manager automatically backs up your current rom

The new OTA kills it though, so if you're going to do it, don't update.

Yes buddy

Rusty · Sep 24, 2010

No.

You install that file onto the phone, just placing it will do nothing. Copy it to the SD card, browse to it with a file manager (I use ASTRO) and install it.

Open the Androot app, and tap the Root button, it will say yay or nay. If yay, goto Market and download ROM Manager etc

If nay, try again. If you have FRG33/FRG83 installed, then kick yourself as it will not work (as it stands).

snakeybidder · Sep 24, 2010

Lol rusty you take over, even ill thank you

Yes of course you have to install the file

I think its pretty amazing how 7 people have downloaded this from my http and no thanks?! Lol nice people.....

Anyway you can grab it from the net very easily, or rusty could post it for you.

Wow, well done rusty .............

The new 2.2.1 update apparently kills the one-click root method if anyone cares.

I updated anyways since 1) I don't root 2) Fixes WiFi sleep issue

mossburn · Sep 24, 2010

ok my phone is rooted and i downloaded rom manager now what??

I'm thinking of rooting but I could use the wifi fix in the latest update. Can I assume that the wifi fix will come to cyanogen?

mossburn · Sep 24, 2010

ok i put cyanogen mod on there and the phone rebooted, now for the last couple of minutes the cyanogen mod thing been appearing and disappearing..

You know the little android guy on the skate board, underneath it says cyanogen.. Im waiting for it to stop but it just comes and go, is everthing ok?

is it bricked?

mossburn · Sep 24, 2010

come on rusty someone help me, did i a battery pull and still the samething..

the little android guy on the skateboard with cyanogen underneath keeps disaperaing and re apperin..

whats goin on??

is the phone booting up or is the phone bricked or what??

Rusty · Sep 25, 2010

It's half booting. You didn't wipe before flashing did you?

Teknologic · Sep 25, 2010

You'll need to do a complete whipe and reflash cyannogen. I'm posting from my phone so I can't easily direct you to instructions. You'll need to place th Rom on your SD card, reboot into recovery and whipe from there, then flash cyan from there. Search around if you need more details.

Regards,

Tekno

mkrmec · Oct 2, 2010

Always wipe when you're comming from the original ROM or any other ROM that is not CYanogen..

snakeybidder · Oct 3, 2010

When you flash with rommanager it actually gives you option to wipe before install. Or boot into recovery and pick option to wipe data and cache......not that hard....;#(
