Worked great but after some weird combinations :) I put up this guide (total noobs guide). Hope someone benefits from it, I spent more than an hour! Great work Paul!

You need to unlock the bootloader first before flashing

I need a little help.

I followed the instructions to unlock the bootloader and was successful.
Then I followed the instructions to Root the device.

Ry-Blaisdells-MacBook:1.1-nexusone-superboot rylincoln$ ./install-superboot-mac.sh
sending 'boot' (2066 KB)... OKAY
writing 'boot'... OKAY
Ry-Blaisdells-MacBook:1.1-nexusone-superboot rylincoln$

Looks fine, no?
I then reboot the phone and tried Nexus Torch as a test of an App that required Root access
But SU just times out and must be forced closed after this.

I tried running su from terminal emulator and had the same results.  

I tried repeating the steps to root the device and no luck.  Any ideas?

-Ry

And I'm an idiot... didn't turn on USB Debugging mode.

The first download link seems to be broken  :)

edit:

Using the second download I had the same results as superslinky

I was able to use fastboot to unlock the bootloader

superboot-install-windows.bat says it installed correctly, but neither su nor sudo works after reboot .  I am trying the commands using the Terminal Emulator app (not the one by google, that one crashes)

superslinky it appears you figured it out can you furtter explain your response about usb debugging?

Just rooted my Nexus One and everything seemed fine. The batch file went through ok. After my phone rebooted i had to sign in with my account and all my applications were there. Everything else seems to be working fine, but now I can't enable my Wi-Fi.

When I go to Settings > Wireless & Networks, under Wi-Fi it says "Unable to start Wi-Fi" and clicking the check box doesn't do anything. Has anyone tried rooting the phone with the 2.1-update1?

Has anyone experienced this problem? What would you guys recommend doing? The wireless worked before the root process.

Also (not sure if this is related) but when I click on the Superuser Permission app, nothing comes up.

Thanks,

Tomek

Why didn't you used the new(er) superboot with HiMem?

http://android.modac...optional-himem/

Maybe that works?

I'll be fixing the two different stock posts shortly.

Does the ERE27 superboot have all the necessary bits and pieces for Wifi Tether (netfilter, ...)?

Thx.
