HELP ! 1/ Unlocked Bootloader - no problems and ADB drivers working on phone. 2/ Phone rebooted 3/ Checked build currently at ERE27 4/ downloaded ERE27 superboot. 5/ put phone in white android screem (power and trackball held down) 6/ ran installer by clicking windows .bat 7/ All installed ok - really quick ! 8/ Rebooted phone 9/ checked USB Debugging still enabled. 10/ tried SU command that is in applications and get app start but does noting and will eventually say force close? 11/ Tried Titanium backup - requests SU - I click on Always allow and then it says Failed. Why can I not get SU working I can confirm that the bootloader is unlocked as I get the unlocked padlock at boot. Help please genius's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest joelee Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Did you install the Recovery Image? Did you try Wiping before flashing? What is your Build Version / Software number on Settings/About? One sure way to confirm if your N1 is rooted: Install a terminal apps like ConnectBot and type "su" at the prompt. You should get a "#" prompt, if not, your device is not rooted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for helping - here are the answers to your questions. 1/ I did not install recovery - that would have been my next step as the instructions state may need rooted phone - so I was trying to root 1st. 2/ build number is ERE27 / kernal 2.6.29-01117-g4bc62c2android-build@apa26 downloaded 1.0-ERE27-nexusone-superboot 3/ my device is not rooted as titanium backup tries to root and fails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
