Beginner question: Unsure which version of froyo is on my phone

So I bought a Nexus One on craigslist. I thought it was all stock until I ran into the "cannot establish reliable sever connection" when I tried to sign into my google account. My question is how do I restore my phone back to the newest version of android 2.2. It is not unlocked (no unlocked padlock on boot screen). Under "Build number" it says "passion-userdebug Froyo FRE74 28579 test-keys." Under Android version it says "Froyo" instead of 2.2. And many of the 2.2 features are not present such as wifi tethering, and the new icons at the bottom center of the home screen aren't there. I only have the single grid icon and not the set of 3 with the browser and phone. And i'm not sure where to go from here. I want to be able to log into my gmail account and the android marketplace. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Assuming you verified you have Data Connection enabled and have the proper APN settings::::
Your seller may have rooted the phone without necessarily unlocking the bootloader. see

Also, the link I just added shows the different versions of 2.2 (missing a couple) but FRE74 doesn't look like one of them.
First find out if it is a rooted phone, Check the app drawer for any SuperUser or Spareparts icon. That or try installing Busybox from the marketplace and executing it.
If it is rooted,flash one of the many ROMS available on XDA, Cyanogen just released his beta version tonight. Personally I use Enomther Rom. Official version is out.
And BTW, read up on the process of flashing... most require you to wipe first.

and if it is not rooted....
All you need to do is do a Factory Reset
Settings / Privacy / Factory Data Reset
After that check what your Build number is.
Then you can go to your dialler and enter
*#*#checkin#*#*
What that will do is connect your phone to the Google servers, say hello, and the server will send the update to your phone. (Force OTA - Over The Air update)

My data connection is working, I browse the internet fine except for the youtube app and gmail.com. When I go to gmail.com through my browser I get "a secure data connection could not be established." But yahoomail and flickr logins work fine on both wifi and 3g. No superuser or spareparts icons in the drawer. I can't access the android marketplace since I cannot log into my google account. I did the factory restore and the build number is the same. I did the checkin from my dialer and it said "checkin failed"
So it seems like the phone is rooted but I just need to flash a rom with the froyo features I want. Any links or guides to doing this? I read and superboot seemed like the easiest way.

Sounds to me like an issue with radio... flash a new radio might do the trick. However, before I start messing around with the radio not knowing anything about my phone, I'd look into doing this first.

This will bring your Nexus One back to it's original shipping rom. It's gonna be alot of work, BUT this IS almost a $600 phone.

So I followed those directions and i'm back on android 2.1 and i can log into my google and everything seems to work fine. I want to update to 2.2 so I go to system updates, download the update, and install. But during the install process it shows the little box with the android and the loading bar but it stops and goes to the android and the exclamation point. I'm not sure what to do from here. My Build Number is ERD79

Hold Volume up and press Power (or possibly the other way around). That should bring up the recovery menu.

I tried once with the OTA update I downloaded, the phone restarted and tried to install by itself but went to the android with the !. So I download a froyo rom and rename it update.zip, not .zip.zip. And put it on my phone, I'm in the blue recovery screen and it says signature error. I'm thinking its the wrong rom i'm using.

Need a little help please...

I have been running just about every 2.2 ROM out there without any problems. Last night, I installed a new ROM and couldn't access my Google account so I flashed back to stock. I then was able to sign into Google and the Market, ETC. I then flashed to COG and again couldn't sign into Google. I done a factory reset,booted into recovery to factory reset/ clear cache and still nothing! I keep getting the error message "Couldn't establish a connection" on every 2.2 ROM I have tried! Any help will be greatly appreciated.......

Could be because 2.2 messes up your Android ID, you probably need to reset it. From stock 2.1 get an app called Android ID changer and get your unique code, write it down. Then after flashing a 2.2 ROM use the same app to reset it back.

I just tried Android ID changer and it doesnt seem to work. I can still access my Google account on 2.1 but not any of the 2.2 ROMs.

Could someone upload the Android ID changer APK? I cant access the market and seem to have lost mine. Thanks

OK, now I have access to my G mail by logging in to you tube...Go figure! Now when I try to open the market, I get "a network error has occurred".

I still cant access the market. Anybody have any ideas on a possible fix? I have tried everything I can think of.

Something very wrong with phone. (Apps die even after clean new roms)

Hello I am quite worried about my phone.
After a little while with a new rom installed widgets will FC and stop working and some apps will disappear (and if on home screen you see default image and clicking it it says"Application not found") This usually (if not always) happens after the phone for some reason thinks it is the first time it has been switched on and goes through the initial setup (asking about language, setup accounts, wifi etc)
I first noticed this happen when I had darkys 9.3(i think maybe 9.somehting anyway) and when I replaced the sim all the above occoured. Reinstalling the apps didnt fix them and most apps FC.
Since then I have tried many roms and most seems to get this affect after some time. I was using some 2.3 roms and they were great but didnt have bln + very bad battery so they had to go. I'm currently on a romkitchen rom and it was fine for a while then after a restart it did the initial setup thing again and most things are broken again.
Anyone know anything about this?
Any suggestions on what I can try?
Thanks

Try killing the rom that caused the problems the usual supect once again .
Flash to stock Eclair via Odin with pit 512 and repartition checked .
If thats ok upgrade to Froyo .
jje

Ehh, that sounds a lot like the Internal SD issue. Try a stock 2.2.1 rom with a recent modem and see how that goes.

Can you suggest any roms/modems? I'm from UK if that makes a difference.
Btw the most recent rom was all the newest stuff from the rom kitchen. I feel like there is something that is not being wiped from my phone on a reflash even though I have installed different roms/modems/kernels. I have even deleted everything from my internal sd (the bit you can see when plugging phone into pc) The only thing I haven't wiped is my external sd, could something on that be the culprit?
Oh also as I installed this latest rom no gallery app was installed? I thought I might have just chosen the wrong option in the rom kitchen but does that mean anything?
EDIT - Could it be this RFS corruption issue?

Should I follow these steps or is there a newer method?

sgs gone crazy

hi there
getting straight to the problem : i got my sgs (international I9000) 3 months ago and tried to upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2 but failed many times. then i accidently flashed a vibrant rom (eugene one) in my phone and i couldn't get to dl or recovery mode so i gave it to a local store here that helped me get back to stock 2.1 but i didn't know how he did it .. probably with a jig
everything went fine and i was able to enter both modes but then NUMEROUS force closes appears whenever i open most of apps (google apps and other 3rd party apps but others like massege, phone, contacts, players works fine), can't delete or put anything in the sd card . I tried to fix it with flashing to another stock roms i even tried 2.3 , the flashes were ok but force closes kept coming. I also tried wipe data and factory reset from recovery but to no avail. also when i change settings, delete files, etc .. and then reboot everything goes back to how it was before i did the change
i read many threads that my phone internal might be corrupted from all this @*&* and i thought i would ask here before sending it to samsung hoping i would find a solution here
regards and sorry for bad english

I flashed a vibrant and captivate rom on the first day i got my SGS and promptly soft bricked it.
Was able to get it back and running though, no force closes.
I suggest backing up all your phone internal data SD data (On your computer) etc. And send it to Samsung and just replace all the data afterwards.
I'm not experience enough to aid you (Sorry) and and the problems are a little ambiguous.
Hope i have helped. Good luck getting your phone back and running again

[CDMA][SPRINT] Every App Crashes

Some Info:
First things first: This is not my primary tablet anymore so If I can't get it working that is okay.
Second: I am trying to fix it for my parents or to sell it.
Third: It is the Sprint CDMA Version.
Okay so the problem with the tablet is when I turn on the device after flashing anything (whether it be the stock Gingerbread Rom via Odin/Heimdall or Cyanogenmod/AOKP) it works fine for a couple of moments... I set it up.. I open a couple of apps... and suddenly every single app starts to force close!!
On Stock it shows some apps like Swype and on ICS roms it shows some acore process.
I really want to know how to unbrick this and I can't send it in cause my warranty ended in February.

I'm also having a similar problem.
But I can't flash any ROM.
Even if I copy the zip file to the tab memory, after I reboot it, the file disappears. It always goes to Italian language. Can't remove the google account or the hotmail account.
I have tried to reset to factory defaults, etc and still the same...
Any ideas?

What android version your tablet have ?

Stock Gingerbread but the problem started when I had AOKP on it.
I tried flashing back to stock yesterday and now it's in a boot loop on the second Samsung logo after the Sprint logo.
The things that crash are android.process.acore, all gapps, Swype on stock, and Google Play.
