Hey friends.
I have some questions which i can't seem to find the answer to.
1. what's all that deal with SPL? what exactly is that and why do i need to flash it before flashing the radio version? what do i have to watch out from in order to not bricking my phone?
2. I wanted to flash a radio version from ERE36B that was posted on modaco site.
I downloaded the zip, copied to the sdcard, flashed it using the amonra 1.7 recovery. it said that it was successfully flashed but the radio version hadn't changed. what did i do wrong? I wanted to flash using fastboot but there were no .img files posted. only after extracting the zip files there is an img file inside along with some other files that may be important.
3. why are there different versions of superboot for each build? I mean, after I used superboot once and rooted my phone - I won't have to use it ever again.
no?
many thanks and sorry for the long post.
1. SPL stands for Second Program Loader. but you wont have to worry about it on the Nexus One. Its a different story for the G1.
2. If flashing the radio is successful then your baseband should be 4.04.00.03_2. And you might already had that radio if you just recently bought your phone.
3. Superboot version is not different. As long as you flash a rooted version of the rom then you will still retain root. But if you flash back to a stock rom, then you'll lose root. So always use nandroid to backup.
Thanks for the answer
So what exactly are the risks ?
is it possible to brick the nexus one or it's completely impossible?

just restore your nandroid and install CM... i suggest you downgrade the radio also. Don't use the froyo radio on a non froyo build.

Flash the Radio with the link provided here
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614427
( scroll down to see the Radio links )
After you flash the radio, reboot and wait until it boots back into recovery, then flash the ROM. Enjoy. Oh, remember to wipe everything first before u start flashing stuff
k i used the ere27 radio now i flashed it then wpe then installed cyanogen rom 5.7 seems to be working great??? thanks alot!!!!!!
if i decide to use 2.2 without radion update i can just flash it by wiping and then flashing it right???
I have been searching for awhile now, and just can't seem to find out what I need. I have a rooted N1 that I was running Kang-O-Roma's Latest Froyo build and Radio on it, but now need to get it back to stock with OTA updates. I flashed a the stock image that I got from the developers section, but still no updates. when the phone downloads an update it just restarts in recovery. I thought I may need to downgrade the radio, but no luck. I baught an Evo and am selling my beloved N1, but the person who baught it wants it completely stock, and able to get updates. he doesn't mind it being rooted if this is possible. Please help.

reboot the phone into bootloader then use the passimg file to return back to stock once this is done it should reboot into 2.1 then leave it alone till u see the update available or use the code to force the update then reboot and it should pop up within a few hours...
The update pops up, It downloads it, it even says what the update includes, but then when it tries to install, it restarts back into recovery mode, and doesnt' install the update. Is the update on the phone somewhere? I still have the froyo radio on the phone, because I cannot find and original Radio update Zip. Adb won't work on my new computer.
Did you get the stock recovery back in there or still using a custom one?
I loaded the stock image found in the developers section under original shipping, but it didn't downgrade the radio. I followed all of the instructions, but still, the update won't install. I have been searching and searching, but still can't come up with a solution.

The passimg file will take everything back to stock: ROM, Recovery, and Radio

thanks for all the help, I had flashed the stock ROM, but not the passimg.zip. so even though the rom was right everything else was not. Thanks again. I'll wait to see if I get an update.

Ok, this should be my last question on this subject. under about phone it now says:
Model Number-
Nexus One
Firmware version-
2.1 update 1
Baseband version-
32.26.00.24U_4.04.00.03_2
Kernel version-
2.6.29-01117-g4bc62c2
[email protected] #1
Build number-
EPE76
As I recall EPE76 was a leaked ROM
I tried using 22607-ERD79-update-nexusone-stock-signed.zip and renaming it passimg.zip , but that didn't work. am I OK with the EPE76 build or do I need to get the ERD79 build on there to be?
A: get updates, and
B: truly be stock.
thanks again. I had no problem when I was trying cooked roms and updating radios and stuff. go figure this would be the thing to get me stuck.

@OP
If you're still have problems, this thread has all the files you need in the first post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614850
I bought my Nexus One off another member here, and he was kind enough to flash back to the original ERD79 before he sent me the phone but he didn't flash the stock recovery.img. I got the update to Froyo almost immediately after I turned the phone on, but it would not install. After flashing the stock recovery.img the OTA installed just fine

I tried installing this one, and it said "The main version is older" and then asked if I want to restart.

go root to 2.2 or 2.1.update 1 first then use it okay..
Now that you mention it I do remember seeing something about that, while I was searching for an answer to this dilemma. Thanks again, I'll let you know.

okay... will b around if needed..
My baseband version is 4.06.00.12_7.
I bought a used Nexus one online. It had some kind of customized ROM on it. So I flashed it back to original ROM (2.1). However, I only flashed boot.img, system.img, recovery.img. There is one more radio.img I did not flash.
I then updated the system via OTA to 2.2.1. But I am not sure about the radio.img. Do I have to do anything about it? Right now the phone works fine so I don't want to risk anything.
Thanks.
Latest is 5.08. The results with it are mixed, so you can try it, and if you don't like it - flash the 4.06 back.
Officially 5.08 is only available outside the States... why, I don't know. IMO they must have created it for a reason though.
thanks. I think I'll just stick to what it is now.
Hi, I encountered a problem while rolling back from android 4.0 (unofficial) to honeycomb. I tried several roms and recovery files and everything seemed to be fine. After the flashing process, when I boot my device it asks me for a password. I have never actually used any passwords. Can you please tell me what this problem is about?
