Does anyone know how i can get froyo on my phone with the EPF21B build? Could i change to the ERE27 build WITHOUT rooting my phone? Or flash pauls version through the stock recovery image, without voiding my warranty? Thanks for any help
same problem.
my phone is EPE54B
HELP!!!
Gotta root until Google sort it out I'm afraid.
I have ERE36B with locked bootloader. Can I just update or do I need another update file?
You're on an awkward build... I very much doubt there will be an upgrade path for you.
You will most likely need to flash a mainstream PASSIMG.ZIP (AT&T EPE54B or Vodafone EPF21B) and update from that when Google release one.

Edit: Actually, maybe you should listen to him. After clarification it seems that there were un-original roms out in the wild that didn't need an unlocked bootloader. If you updated to that ROM yourself, even without unlocking then you may not see an upgrade at all.
Old post below for continuity's sake.

Don't listen to him. It seems he is telling you that you will need to unlock to upgrade. If you aren't going to unlock yet, just wait, there will be an OTA update for you too, you just have to wait for Google to send it out.
Google will not force you to unlock your phone.
Is there a way to go back to ere27 so i can update now, without unocking?
Dont mind if i have to do a factory reset or something like that

EPF21B is the official euro shipping ROM.
You can't change it back to ERE27 without unlocking the phone, period.
If you don't want to unlock, you'll have to wait until Google issues the OTA for the official euro phones.

Thanks for that completely incorrect post.
I am not telling you to unlock, both can be flashed in the same way you flashed ERE36B as they are official released images.
As ERE36B is a release that shouldn't be out in the field, I doubt an update will be made for it.
So, since I am not on Vodafone or AT&T, what should I update to? AT&T EPE54B or Vodafone EPF21B?
There has to be a way to restore the phone to factory state and factory ROM?

Sorry about that, it seemed to me that you were telling him he would never get an update without unlocking. But he did mention that he was still locked and had that release. I don't know how he got that one, but if he is truly locked wouldn't it make sense that Google knows of the phones out there with that version?
I still don't think it would make sense for Google to not give those phones an update, and to force them to unlock to upgrade.
Am I missing something important here that's really messing up my understanding?

Except that the factory ROM is different from one to another.
Tmobile factory ROM : ERD79 (which can then be updated to ERE27).
ATT factory ROM : not sure but the one before EPE54B
Europe factory ROM : EPF21B.

I think so.
There are certain ROMs that were leaked, these can be installed without unlocking the bootloader as they are release signed. No phone sent out by Google came with ERE36B, you had to install it yourself. There is also no way back to stock ERE27 without unlocking the bootloader.
My reckoning is that as this particluar ROM isn't meant to be in use by the public an upgrade path is unlikely, hence the advice to flash to a 'legitimate' release image (no unlock necessary) which will definitely be upgradable.

Thanks for explaining. I'll go edit my original post.
Thanks Rusty. What rom should i update to then? Is there another rom i can downgrade from, or is it generally impossible to go to an older rom with locked bootloader?
Can't go older unfortunately, else it would be a no-brainer.
As for which one, I doubt it matters, but I would expect EPE54B to be the next updated.
cant you just flash pauls prerooted version?

Doesn't work, cancels installation when it doesn't find the right signature.
yeh, tried that, Wont work with locked bootloader. Tried all ERE27 images, renamed to either passimg.zip or update.zip, and same for all frf50.. Only one thing left to do i guess, and that is wait.
Having the Same Problem,
Hi, I have a Nexus One from Vodafone, and have unlocked it, however, I still can't get it to update to Froyo FRF50 so I can then further upgrade it, I am currently on build EPF21B which I think Vodafone have mucked around with, because I have just updated a Friends Nexus Manually with the same file not problems, mine keeps coming up with, first:
Froyo+E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Then fails on this:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
Can any of you kind people out there confirm that there is something slightly odd about the stock Vodafone ROM,
Thanks for your time in this matter, I assure you that it is deeply appreciated
Kind Regards - Ashe
Is it possible to have my phone back to the positon so it can be updated by Sony Ericsson. I tried with an original rom but Sony update knows and will not do it.
You have to restore the stock SPL too.

hi.
I was using HTC One with Android Revolution and I would like to go back to stock.
unfortunately I have lost my nandroid and radio back ups (updated radio to latest one)
I was able to get nandroid backup from xda (thank you)
and restore it. however when I try to OTA update or factory reset it says security warning in bootloader
researching through google I realized that updated radio prevents me from doing OTA update and factory reset.
Is it possible to get a radio back up for bell or does anyone know how to make it work?
Thank you!

I'm using bell now so I'll try and get a back up if I get around to it tonight (sorry I have a bit of a to-do list). Also I don't get LTE anywhere since I rooted so I'm not sure if mine is truly stock (i've never flashed radios on this device)
I also have a Bell I find a backup of the Rom the Bell.
I kept in case. Here:

boot loader security warning <-- no this is due to the installation of a recovery.
Sorry I do not have RUU, I would love to have too, however it is always practical.

You did the right things, you have remove the root?
Maybe reflash the bootloader with fastboot it Will Be removed warning but I'm not sure but there is no danger.
Why in fact put you in the stock?

It's only showing when I try to OTA or factory reset or ruu.
Tried replacing downloader recoveries etc still no luck and I have come to conclusion that the radio might be the problem.
Hope. The savior guy upload his stock radio now... T.T

It is written in your bootloader: RELOCKED, Security warning
Is that correct?

This is what i said , The warning appears when installing a recovery and radio did not report on this.
I do not think that HTC refuses because it is locked again ..
but why are you back the phone??

I just wanna feel the stock feel due to unstableness of customs.
Haha not a biggie.
However I refreshed recovery.omg from android backup and still no luck.
I restored the android backup again and still security warning blocks me.
Think I should stay with custom Rom again lol
Thanks for the replies thou.
Hope I get the stock radio later
Customs? lol he does not care about that!

You could downgrade to a 4.1.2 rom & firmware by flashing a RUU and then take all the updates back up to 4.2.2

I am on 4.1.2, Ive tried to install firmware to go back to stock recovery and all that but no success.
I dont want to install a rooted ROM cause I notice a big battery drain from them
Root is not a cause of battery drain.
Use this: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/defend-your-battery-with-wakelock-detector/ to find what's drain your battery and get rid of it.

If i receive my live update on my stock 20i whats going to happen? Will i just lose root? Will it just lock itself again? Can anyone be cool enough to let me know? I haven't received it yet but i heard it's out there and I want to take the measures necessary to not get bricked... Thanks again.
