hi konni, my build is ERE27. but i flashed the ERE36B superboot with himem. so can i just flash it back to ERE27 and my wifi will be good? so sorry to trouble u cuz im a total noob when it comes to android, just got my n1 not long ago.

sounds like that could work

could just update all the way to ere36b too... your choice. just don't mix versions like that without knowing exactly what you do.

I had unlocked the N1. But when i ran the install superboot, it just simply skipped the writting procedure then closed. I am using ere27. How could i solved it??

Solved it with manually did it in CMD. But how could i verified that the new rom is already loaded in the phone?
Kernel version is now root@vmware-karmic-x64 #2.
Is it correct?
But the Market Enabler is not working on it.

i was able to unlock my bootloader but when i tried to use superboot i got the <waiting for device>

I also tried the sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/-51-androidrules and modified that file but i still get the same thing...

when i start the device i get the unlock at the beginning and when i put the device in bootloader it says 'unlocked' at the top...so...am i good?

What system are you using to unlock ur n1? If you are using windows have you tried installing the USB drivers first? That might help.

I tried to flash ERE27 superboot to my n1 and i double click on install-superboot-windows.bat after the usual usb debugging turned on. Phone turned off completely and rebooting it in bootloader mode. at the command prompt it says flashboot ok. after i reboot my phone my phone still shows the original kernel. What did i do wrong? typing fastboot devices at the cmd prompt and my pc can detect me n1 well. btw after doing the superboot my kernel version is still "2.6.29-01117-g4bc62c2 android-build@apa26#1 "

your kernel will be the same as u have not changed your kernel version, all u have done is add superuser permission, also, u dont say if you have unlocked your bootloader, the X with a padlock underneath.

Did a Nandroid backup back to ERE36B and lost root. Tried superboot with highmen. After booting up all I get is FCs everywhere.

Do I have to reinstall everything from scratch?

restore that nandroid backup again.
execute adb shell, you still got root there right?
might be an issue with the permissions of the su-binary.
it needs chmod 4755 if i remember correctly. (6755 on CM5).

in adb shell do
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su

Go slow on this
When you flash a stock-rom, just put the superboot image for that version of that on top, Paul always provides it.
After that, you have superuser access working fine, no need to chmod anything!

The chmod 'might' be needed when you restore a nandroid backup.
And you can not change anything within /system unless you mount it with read/write permissions first!

I'd suggest you download "ERE36B - update zip format" and "ERE36B - superboot images" from here. Flash them in that order and have a stock-phone with root access.

If you want more customized roms, take a look around in this forum and xda-developers.com, pick one (i can recommend mcr, cm5 and enomthers), depending on which features you want and flash it according to the provided instructions.

if you update to ere27 and superboot for ere27 you will have root.
unless there were some errors you don't talk about.

what makes you think that you don't have root permissions?

I downgrade to ERD79.
After I upgrade to ERE27 (i have 1 error on boot, image couldn't write).
In ERE27 I superboot.
Superpermission installed but not work.
I upgrade this AR recovery on ERE36B.
Superpreference now isn't here.
Restart superboot for windows
Superpermission on ERE36B but same problem.
It's not work.

I think there was a problem on upgrade from ERE27 to ERE36B (or installing Cyanogen Mod, now disinstalled) and I can't restore to all previous setting that give me the possibility to take the root.
I think I have to restore the Nexus all to the original (HOW? I don't know) and after made the upgrade and the rooting.

[Fabio79]

I made some change and It' workded.
Thanks for the help and support.
