How can I run hierarchy view with Nexus One

I am trying to debug an android app on nexus one with an hierarchy viewer. I start hierarchy view on desktop, Under 'Devices', I see my phone, but when I click 'Start Server', I see 'version = 2 protocol = 2 version = 2' on the terminal of when I start hierarchy viewer.

But nothing else happens, 'Load View Hierarchy' remains disabled.

Can you please tell me how can I get hierarchy viewer to work?

Or include the ViewServer into your application. Then you can use the hierarchy viewer on any device. But only for your own app.

ADT version 12 required.

You will need to unlock bootloader and root the device. Running hierarchyViewer along totally worth the time.

From the Mark Murphy's book:

Note that you cannot use HierarchyViewer with a production Android device (e.g., T-Mobile G1)

Though, I've been able to run the HierarchyViewer on my handset after installing an unoffical ROM and rooting it. I think it voids the guarantee, though.
