Hi,
I am going to unlock my Nexus one and install a custom ROM (CyanogenMod), I am wondering whether it is possible using Ubuntu or we need to have windows so it can use the USB driver and detect the Nexus one phone?
Thanks

It's very easy, don't worry. Google will easily get you the answers you seek
That's not terribly helpful. Could you give us more info on how you did it, and/or point us at some good links?
I'm getting stuck unlocking the bootloader, my computer can see the phone in the Device Manager (from the repos) but fastboot in the terminal is stuck on: "< waiting for device >"

Found the info I needed to do this with Ubuntu but even following this I still couldn't successfully get the computer to recognise the phone....?
Anyone had any luck with this? A detailed run-down would be great.
I finally gave up and did it on a windows box

Sorry legolas, I forgot to post a link in the last post
http://developer.android.com/guide/d...ng/device.html
I kind of suspect it's not really up to date though.
0bb4 is the vendor id for HTC, but I had to use 18d1, which I think is the id for Google. Check with lsusb -vv | less
After you edit the file, use sudo service udev restart
then unplug and replug the phone into the computer.
Of course, this didn't work for me, so take it with a pinch of salt...

Here's how to connect the phone to Ubuntu:
$ sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
save these two lines into the file:
$ sudo chmod a+rx /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rulesCode:SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666" SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", MODE="0666"
$ sudo service udev restart
plug in the phone, and away you go without any need for a windows box.

Hello everyone and thanks for contributing to this thread.
I want to flash my phone today. So far I downloaded the following things and performed the following tasks and have some questions which are included below.
- Downloaded android sdk and installed it (the bin folder is in the path). I can use adb to install software into the phone so I assume that the SDK is fine.
- Downloaded and installed fastboot (I put its files inside the android sdk bin folder)
- Downloaded 3 zip files from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623496 which are CyanogenMod 5.0.3, its radio and its Google Addon.
- Downloaded the recovery-RA-nexus-v1.5.3.img from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829
Now I want to install these stuff into my phone. I think I should do the following steps, please let me know whether they are correct or not.
- Use fastboot command to unlock the phone. (how?)
- use the fastboot command shown below to install the RA
The image file path should be correct and it should be accessible to the fastboot command.Code:fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.5.3.img
- create a nandroid backup.(how?)
- install the CyanogenMod. (how?)
- install the CyanogenMod radio image using the following command:
- install google add-ons (how?)Code:fastboot flash radio Radio_20100203_2_Signed_PASSION.img
I assume that the above steps are all I need to do in order to root the phone and install the CyanogenMod. Please let me know (how?) to do the things I marked and also please let me know whether these are all I should do or some stuff are still missing.
Thanks
