Yes it works on 2.3.4, and yes, you CAN install a custom recovery with a locked bootloader.

You can use ROM Manager, or you can do it manually by using the flash_image utility. Instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...ocked_bootloader_-_flash_image_using_TerminalReally? So you would install clockworkmod through rom manager?
Right then...
And because you are not unlocking the bootloader, the device keeps the warranty?
Well, rooting would technically void the warranty. But since you can remove all trace of you rooting the device, no one would know, and your warranty would still be valid.
If you unlock your bootloader, your warranty would be void, as there is no way to relock it (unless you have S-OFF).
HAVING SAID ALL THAT, from all the posters comments that I've read on this forum and on others, HTC has not refused warranty service, even with an UNLOCKED bootloader...

As efrant said above, most definitely Yes, and this from personal experience!
I had rooted my Nexus previously with locked bootloader. Then a few months ago my Nexus suffered a broken power button. I reflashed a stock ROM and recovery and had the repair done under warranty. The only downside was that HTC flashed the phone to latest 2.3.4 and I couldn't revert to an earlier version to root it. Until now that is
So now I'm rooted and have no worries with my remaining warranty as the boatloader is still locked.

Does this only work on Nexus One or can it also be used on a Nexus S? My N1 is already rooted (locked bootloader), but I've been looking to root my wife's NS w/o unlocking hers.....
Worked for me, too--finally have a rooted N1! And, after deleting Amazon and Books and Twitter, and clearing my dalvik cache, I have a decent amount of storage space again! (had gone as far as I could with the adb apps to sd fix)
Sure wish I could run Facebook from the SD card, but doesn't seem to be an easy fix on that one that I've found so far?

Hi,I am a new joinee here. Being frustrated with my low memory problem I'm also trying to root my Nexus One running 2.3.6. Here is some questions that I have:
1. Where can I get the latest drivers for my phone?
2. How to use part of SD card memory as phone memory?
3. Will I need to format if I install Custom ROM's?
Some of the answers of above I got for older versions of Android, but couldn't find anything for 2.3.6.. Please help.

wish i had seen this before unlocking the bootloader. but nonetheless, i've had my phone since jan 2010. arent warranty usually good for 1 year on nexus one??
Yes it works on Nexus S. Mine's a i9023 (European SLCD version).
Thanks for this thread. It works very well, Quick and painless. Just used that thread to replace the zerg file with the more updated one. Ran the bat. Whamo. Done. =)
I rooted my N1 with the same tool. It's fast and effective. The only different thing is that I did it after just flashed Blackrose.
Anyway, the only thing with which I concerned is the lock icon. I intended to starting flashing custom ROM because Google just ignores the huge bugs in stock 2.3.6, pinch zoom and wifi connection issue.

If i root my phone without unlock bootloader, can i put a custon rom without unlock?
Yes. You just need a custom recovery, which ROM Manager can put on our phones (since they are designed for developers) with Root Access.
