if you need to get back to a stock spl, then you will need to
a. find the stock spl
b. re-root your phone
c. flash the stock spl
d. re-apply the DREAIMG.nbh file
or when you get to c. you could change the stock spl into the 2.22.19.26I radio, then d. into wiping and flashing a rom. either way, whatever works for you.
says
E:cant open /sdcard/update.zip
(no such file or directory)
installation aborted

ok. i rerooted and then download the original g1 spl.i had to rename it update.zip.i put it on the root of my sd card along with the dreaimg.nbh file.i shut off the phone and then restarted by holding the home key.i selected install update.zip and got the same thing.no such file or directory blah blah.i am so frustrated because i believe i am doing everything right.
is your sdcard formatted to fat32
thanks for your help daivd but i just realized ive been making the utmost stupid mistake all night.you know how if you tap slow twice on the name of a file you can rename it with out right clicking.well ive been doing this and renaming the file update.zip then when i click the mouse away from the new name it actually ends up getting named update.zip.zip.sorry for the bother.

Just wondering f pi could download a Rom from your phone delete the old update with astro and then change The name of the Rom to update and wipe and flash. Would this work because it could be helpful when your on the road or vacation.

Or... flash the new cyanogen 1.4 recovery which can flash any zip (with proper ROM ofc). No need to rename any more.

Yup, I did it the other day while at a coffeeshop. Downloaded a new rom and reflashed.
Although it would suck if something went wrong while you were out and about and needed to get to a PC to fix it.

As long as you keep a failsafe rom on your sdcard, you can fix pretty much anything from the recovery console.
I have android 1.6 and have been trying to root my device with no success
-I downloaded the rc29, unzipped and placed dreaimg.nbh to the root of sd
-restart holding camera button but it wont let me flash it from there
any help will be greatly appreciated and thanks in advanced and sorry for being such a neewb
you gotta hold camera and power but pretty sure you are doing that and hmmm try several different links for the rc29 nbh file or you can try downgrading to cupcake the downgrading to rc29.
you might have to wipe too not so sure though

If you're gonna flash a 1.5 cupcake update, than you shouldn't need to downgrade to RC29 w/ DREAIMG.nbh, you should be able to use flashrec to flash cyanogen's recovery image from CRB43 or CRC1

well i guess you should try to downgrade to 1.5 then do 1 click root if you want but i would suggest the long way
I'm using a HardSPL and I just loaded put DREAIMG.nbh on a sdcard and booted up using camera+power and it seemed to load my file fine Pasing....[DREAIMG.nbh] etc, etc, etc, the you can press action to start the update, did you format your sdcard to fat32, unzip file and place DREAIMG.nbh on the root of the card spelled that way???
If that still isn't working you may be able to use a cupcake update.zip file and boot into recovery with home+power to apply the update zip and try using FlashRec from their, any of the 1 click method guides in this forum could explain that in a little more detail
ok guys i finally got it to work, thank for you help!!

First things first do not under any circumstances run the 2.1 ruu. Are you still using the stock 1.5 radio?

okay I am guessing that you said yes to using the stock radio. So this is easy do you still got your original recovery image and your original nandroid? Just go into recovery and nandoid back to stock 1.5 then reboot and download flashrec and rename your original recovery image to recovery-backup and place on your sd card. Install flashrec and either reboot or open it and press restore backup image

Right on the root of your sdcard. And you may know but others might not but the root of the sdcard is just on the sdcard but not inside any folders.

I have N1 with FRF83, but with custom recovery image and some other customizations.
Since I can't OTA update to FRF91 or even 85b from custom images, how do I revert back to the stock FRF83 completely?
grab a recovery out of one of the passimg files in the dev section and flash it.
Thanks, but I forgot to mention one thing: I am a complete noob.
If you could say it in English, I'd appreciate it

I agree with what you're saying, but all of the PASSIMG files I've downloaded that are linked in this forum and modaco come up saying that the "Compressed (zipped) file is invalid"
Is there another way to unzip these files?? Can someone post all of the original .img files somewhere so that we dont have to continually **** around with all of this ****.
FFS!

They are normal zip-files that work fine. If they are ok at the source the problem is on your end. I've never had a problem with them.
Try one of those from here. The modaco ones are correct too though.
the PASSIMG.zip files aren't actually zip files, they're "nbh" files. You can't open them up
You just put it on the sd card and boot up into bootloader and it auto loads and recovers back to stock.
Great if you have T-Mobile Nexus One since that's what's out there.
There isn't a working AT&T version that I've found.
You can open them up and extract the contents fine.
Thank you so much for this link. I'm a kind of a noob to this android thing to and I'm learning the hard way.
Can radios be flashed with UF at anytime now with an update.zip?
Also where is a zip file for the 2.15 radio or is there anyone willing to share? It's not the same as the evo's is it?
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
To flash:
1. Place PB31IMG.zip to root of SD card
2. Power down phone
3. Press volume down and power at same time
4. It will ask to update...press volume UP for yes
5. It will ask for reboot...press volume UP for yes
Once done...enjoy.

i thought with S-OFF, we can flash radio with CWM? also, do i just rename the radio OTA to PB31IMG(.zip)?
with s-off, i can flash the radio anytime i want with any rom i want? without going back to the unroot stock rom?

It already saves it as PB31IMG.zip....so just move it to root and go on with process.
That's for the splash and does not update radio. I've installed that and the update.zip and still have 2.05

He said the thread, not the wiki.
I honestly don't know what I'm doing wrong, i have the pb31img.zip(radio update) on root of sd did the whole power down and power on with volume(down) and when i get to hboot it has
fastboot
recovery
clear storage
simlock
after 2 seconds or so it does this:
sd checking...
loading...pb31diag.zip
no image
loading...pb31diag.nbh
no image or wrong image
loading...pb31img.zip
no image
loading...pb31img.nbh
no image or wrong image
so does anyone know what the problem is?

Make sure the sdcard is formatted as fat32 and that the zip name is exactly "PB32IMG.zip", exact casing and make sure also that its not .zip.zip
OK i just reformatted the sd card to FAT32 and the file i downloaded was PB31IMG, i don't have an extra .zip, that's common mistake for me to do so it was first thing to check. ok so that fixed it. i must not have had it formatted correctly, its whatever it was stock
edit: mrozzeh and the rest of the unrevoked team, i would like to say thank you, and thanks for the personal help too.

Anytime. (10 characters blah)
Hold the optical pad and the power button...not the vol down key and give it a shot
Radio update isn't working for me. Saved PB31IMG.zip to the root of my FAT32formatted SD card, rebooted, it found the PB31IMG.zip file, went though the loading process, got the point where it said "checking" and then went back to the menu without loading the update. I've downloaded the radio update twice with the same results. I currently have the 2.05.00.06.11 radio but have not yet installed s -off. Do I need to do that first?
Any other suggestions?
EDIT: Nevermind, I installed the unrevoked forever s -off patch and the radio update seems to be installing now.
EDIT 2: Radio update updates kernal to .32 correct?
