Hi, Welcome to the forum First thing you have to do is unlock the bootloader, this way you can flash a new recovery (Amon ra 1.7) and then apply the custom rom. There are lots of instruction on how to unlock the bootloader on the web, Here's one from modaco, http://android.modaco.com/content/google-n...your-nexus-one/ You'll see a padlock icon when you restart the phone after you've done this. Remember though your warranty is gone when you do this and this is irreversible, now and forever Once you unlock the bootloader, you flash a new recovery image. This recovery image is where you do all the fun stuff like doing a full backup you can always go back to(nandroid backup). This backups everything including apps Make sure you get the latest Amon ra recovery for nexus one, 1.7 Here's a sample guide http://ilikemygooglephone.com/2010/01/07/h...-for-nexus-one/ Once you are done, you can get any of the image here, I would recommend paul's mcr . Try to get the hang of things before you experiment with radios, apps2sd, other kernels etc. Make sure you can do backup and restore, and flash etc Here's how to flash custom rom All in all it's pretty easy if you're not quite handy around pcs Remember though, you will be voiding your warranty and there's no way back, and I am in no way responsible if anything bad happens Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Press the Power Button to go into Fastboot." on both flashing recovery and unlocking bootloader was not necessary and infact prevented it from working?!? all the same it was very easy if you leave out step 2 everytime ;-) Edited May 8, 2010 by ratcom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mi|enko Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 (edited) nvm. . . thought maybe the 3rd letter in the build number indicated the firmware pastry base, but it appears to be the first letter. . .
