Installing Froyo Questions Please help! - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so im trying to install froyo 2.2 and this is the page im doing it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686627
So i have a nexus one with the Htc Desire Software on it and i didnt know which one should i download so i picked the tweaked version and this is what i did i wipe it then flashed the zip and it just froze on the unlock symbol in the beginning so i had to reflash the Desire rom i had before which works so can someone please help me out thanks in advanced i think i did something wrong.

The files Cyan posted are NOT Froyo. What he posted are the files to get ROOT on an existing install of Froyo. Look for the FRF50 thread posted by paulobrien, flash that first,then flash the files by Cyan.

Paul has an already rooted version of the rom without the radio update i believe. he shouldn't need to flash cyan's mod. unless he wants the kernel tweaks.
I was having random reboots with it so i went to paul, no reboots so far. =)
(i think it had something to do with setcpu, my cpu settings were 1113 and i dont think the cpu was supposed to go to that frequency so that may be why it was acting up.)

so what am i soppose to do?

Go to this page:

It's pretty self explanatory but you can flash either FroYo with or without the radio update.

Here's a basic tutorial I wrote up with all files needed to update to froyo... Enjoy! Working 100% if you follow instructions as listed (haven't heard of an issue from others yet that tried it this way)

thanks man that worked i have one little problem how can u check if u have flash bcuz i try and see a video and sometimes it says u need an update so...

Tried updating to Haykuro's new radio. Not sure if it did, help!

Hey guys,
I just tried updating my G1 to the latest radio on Haykuro's site. But I am not sure if the radio has actually been updated. I am quizical about this because my baseband version reads:
62.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I thought it should read:
62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I want to update the SPL next so that I can install Haykuro's Ion Rev.2 ROM, but I don't want to do this until I have solved this problem.
The process I took to update the Radio was:
Install 'Recovery Flasher' (the one-click-root app) and ran it.
Put the Radio on my microSD named update.zip
Rebooted G1 in recovery mode.
Applied update.zip
There was one doubt in my mind about the process I did. That was the part where I could have wiped the phone before updating the Radio. Is this what I should have done? If I had would the Baseband version be correct? If I do is there anyway to get all my apps back after flashing the Ion ROM?
Please would somebody help me out! Thanks.
You have the new radio. And as far as your apps go you just gotta reinstall them. You can install them 1 by 1 or by batch install or with ADB. Just find a technique you like cause if you gonna start playing with new roms you will be doing this more than once.
Oh right, cool. Thanks for that.
So what do the H and U mean exactly then?
To be honest I really can't remember. That topic was talked about a long time ago and I don't have that good of a memory. Maybe someone could chime in and explain.
You don't need Haykuro's SPL for Ion r2, It's a google build, so it will work with any SPL including the original one...
Mine is 62.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I. I got it from HTC's site (Android 1.5 Radio Image). I was running Ion r2 for a couple of months, had no problems with that radio.
Cool. Thanks for all the help guys.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a good way to backup all my apps ready for a batch install once I have flashed to Ion REV.2?

Search for Backup for root users in the market or go to the link below and scan the QR code if you have barcode scanner.......
http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.bg.smsbk
There are many other ways to backup your apps, but this is by far the easiest for beginners.
If you want other ways, you can PM me and I can walk you through some other steps.

simplest way to switch from JF 1.5 to current Cyan?

I bought a g1 off of craigslist and it already had root. JF 1.4 ....
Around the time cupcake was released I updated it to jf 1.51
Now since there will be no more JF updates I wish to switch to Cyan builds.
I'm unsure of the proper way of doing this?
Should I go back stock .. unroot and then go thru the steps to load cyan?
Or is there a better way? A wipe?
I'm asking to be clear because internet access is strictly from my g1.
Although I can download all the files I need, I do not have constant access.
I'd appreciate any tips or pointing me to the proper thread.
Check the threads in Dream >Dream Android Development look for Cyanogen's thread on his release of 4.1.999, follow the instructions and you will be fine. I'd also suggest at least flashing Cyanogen's v1.4 Recovery Image over JF's, easier to flash any .zip on sdcard. So, new recovery image (use search option in forums, or look in the same thread i mentioned for cyanogen recovery image 1.4) then update to cyanogen's latest rom build
So simply flash a new recovery, then follow the cyan steps?
Cool, easy as pie.
I certainly appreciate it.
Thank you
Yup. just be careful that you dont boot off the htc recovery rom, or the steps to get to cyans rom become much, much harder

sleep is for the weak. also it is really hard to flash two things while in recovery it causes hemorrhoids and anal fissures.

I'd like to chime in here as well since I'm having such a hard time searching for info on the conversion from jf1.51 to the latest build of CM. The amount of posts are staggering!
So, I vaguely remember setting up apps2sd following the guide at the bottom of this page - http://yokohead.com/2009/06/how-to-root-android-g1-with-cupcake-and-appstosd/
Will CM automatically detect this partition?
Also, will I lose the google experience? I'm still confused as to where we are on that.
Thanks for your time! If anyone knows an updated post on this process, please point me to it.

Well the sticky by fingerlickin at the top of this section is a good place to start....
all you have to do is find the singleflash update in the dev section, backup and clear everything off your ext3, and wipe+flash the single update. you can restore the ext backup then.
also you should upgrade to cyan 1.4 recovery
to do so
su
cd /sdcard
wget http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/cm-recovery-1.4.img
flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img

you wont lose the google experience
Thanks B-Man007,
After a couple attempts, all is working well. I'm thoroughly impressed with the snappiness of this build. Although it's only my second time updating a ROM, I'm going to blame the amount of posts for my hesitation and confusion. It was easy to just go in and do it.
I actually updated to the latest Amon-Ra(sp?) recovery. At first my Rom was running real slow and the recovery allowed me to update my ext2 to ext3. Loving it now!
The amount of posts does make it quite confusing i agree, especially with the high amount of conflicting posts
Ya ext3 is a must, but you could have upgraded from cyans too haha
cyan usually has the fastest builds out there though at times it can get very slow.
Another noob here. A few months ago I rooted and flashed to xrom 1.5. When I do a reboot, my recovery screen tells me its "CyanogenMod v1.4 + JF".
Since xRom is experiencing some problems w/ updates, I figured I might try the latest build of Cyanogen. I re-booted, went to recovery mode. Wiped. Then flashed the latest Cyan and even found the 1.6 ota on another site. Flashed both zips, then did a re-boot and it hangs now.
I tried it over and over a few times, wiping then flashing again. Wiping, then re-booting, then flashing the rom, etc. Over and over with the same results.
Then as a test, I tried flashing back to xRom... perfectly fine.
As another test, I tried wiping and flashing to another rom, the rooted stock option (the HTC rom version)... and got the same results as when I tried Cyan... just hangs.
Wiped and flashed again back to xRom... works fine.
So at this point, I'm thinking I need a more updated recovery rom? Any other possible problems? Yes, I did a search all over and this was the best thread that matched my problem.
If it helps... I have a T-mo G1, firmware 1.5, JACxROMv1.5, kernel version 2.6.29.6-jac-ski root. And I know many will slap their foreheads when I say this: But the SD is NOT partioned at all (kept trying and trying with zero success, so I eventually gave up).

Tutorial: Install Froyo on N1 - READ TO INSTALL FROYO

Here's a basic tutorial I wrote up to install Froyo on the N1. Seems like most are having trouble with it. All Files Included. Follow the steps as listed. Report any problems but I have yet to hear from anyone about any issues... Enjoy!
My Way also updates to the newest radio. New radio includes new Video Encoders so you'll want to try the new radio first.
Tutorial Here
Please Post your Results - Feedback. Thank You.
If you try any optional kernels, try .34 kernels, not 33.4. There is positive feedback w/ .34kernels + new radio. If you're using the Old Radio and a 2.1 Build then stay on the 33.4 kernels.
I know it's redundant to install CM first as it mostly gets overwritten. Again, these are the steps I took and it's what's worked for me and others. Don't skip steps, if you have any issues let me know. I also just updated the CM 5.0.7 to Final, it's not test-3 anymore.
Like I always say... ENJOY!
+1 - Worked like a charm
The N1 can't boot up and hang on the 4color logo after flash the CM 5.0.7, what can I do now ?

Did you wait for the radio update to finish (the picture of the box with the arrow coming out of it pointing to the android) and have it go back to the recovery screen again?
The instructions don't appear to make any mention of the radio flash & reboot. I also don't see the point of installing the Cyanogen ROM first, what's the benefit of doing this considering the majority of it gets overwritten by the FroYo /system flash anyway, and the gapps all get replaced as well. (Cyan installs nothing to the /data partition).

Try the tutorial again, the radio part wasn't the issue as you haven't even gotten to that step yet. I re-uploaded CM 5.0.7 to final, it's not test 3 anymore... Try again and post results please... and follow steps exactly. As far as doing CM first, it's not necessary, I just include that step because it's how I did it and it works great for me and everyone who's tried it this way.
Also, make sure you do the prerequisites first like installing the recovery
Why not just load up FRF50 straight up, why the need for the EPE54B, and CM 5.0.7?

Again, this is the way I used and it worked... Also, there are 2 update.zip's floating around. 1 Is an update from 2.1 to 2.2 and one is the full update.

Clarification on G.O.T 2.2.1 and custom mods/roms

Pretty new to modding. Right now i've got a Canadian Telus Milestone on US AT&T and i guess i just need some clarification on a few things. I've flashed my phone with the G.O.T 2.2.1 SBF file. I'm also rooted. i also understand that you can apply different themes to whatever SBF your running.
But heres where i get a bit confused. is G.O.T 2.2.1 the only Froyo SBF we can flash to our milestones? if not what makes one better than the other? if so then what are Cyanogen 6.1/froyomod/ and motofrenzy? are these custom Roms people install on top of G.O.T? and for someone like myself who just wants to run plain old Android 2.2 with no fancy themes do i even need to install a "mod" to my G.O.T 2.2.1 flash? sorry if my questions are all over the place, just trying to learn as much as i can. Thanks

Ok...So lets clarify things up:
GOT has leaked the kernel for froyo for our milestone along with the buggy release of motorola froyo
basically GOT = new buggy kernel + new buggy motorolla froyo...
Here is where the magic starts:
Guys like kabaldan(very special thanks to him for bringing CM6 to us), dexter, feeyo, ho-no, and others have taken that GOT leak and started to work to remove almost all the bugs and bring to us their beautiful roms...
For example if you come from 2.1 to latest CM6 version you dont need to flash the buggy leak from got and then apply CM6
You can just apply CM6 from Open Recovery because CM6 contains the kernel too and it is very optimized as far as I know...
I recommend you CM6 because this is the one that I'm using...but the other 2.2 ROMS are great too... It's your choice
Hope I answered your questions!
do i need to remove G.O.T first? or do i install CM6 over it using open recovery? also is CM6 an SBF file?

You dont need to remove GOT
You should (not necessarily, but I recommend) wipe data, cache, dalvik cache from Open Recovery and then:
1. Download CM6 http://cyanogenmod4milestone.google...-0.04-10.12.08b-cm-6.1.0-Milestone-signed.zip
That is the one I'm using
2. Copy it to Open Recovery's folder in updates
3. Also download google apps as you need to install that too
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps
4. Copy this too to Open Recovery's folder in updates
5. I recommend doing a nandroid backup first
6. Dont forget about wipe data, cache, dalvik
6. Go to Open Recovery and apply CM6 update first then apply google apps update
7. You should be good to go now.
Hope this helps!
Great thanks! will give it a shot when i get home from work. last question i swear! since i'm on US At&T i thought i read somewhere that i'll need to replace some files to keep my 3G. was that pertaining to this or something else?

I'm not quite sure...I never had this issue....
You should check to see if it works without replacing anything
If it doesnt...Then I think you should install "radio files" for your region...Check for more details the CM6 thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784750
"Non European radio files can be installed from menu in Androidiani OR."
It clearly specifies that radio files can be installed in Open Recovery...
Check the thread...I'm 100% sure you will find your answer there, only if it doesnt work without installing anything...
I must go to sleep now...but I'll check back with this thread tomorrow to see how is your progress...
Let me know if anything...I will gladly help if I have the time!
Hi. Like you I am running a Trousers Milestone on Art. You don't have to flash anything 3G related. You do need to change some GPS settings. Change them from Remus to Googles GPS, otherwise your gps lock takes forever. Here are the directions I used to resolve my GPS lock issue, if you happen to have a similar problem. Look on page 2.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/motorola-milestone/58268-milestone-t-usa-2.html
Let us know how it goes.

Thanks guys got everything up and running. i booted up the phone but had no signal. i had to go back and flash the canadian 3G bands (850/1900/2100 i think). I'm on an Canadian Milestone on US AT&T. everything is working pretty good so far. showing "H" for HSPDA. haven't had a whole lot of time to mess with my phone due to work. jgregory, i'll see if i have any GPS issues when i get home.

Flashing another ROM with Cognition already running ?? help

I am currently running Cognition v2.3b7
(2.6.32.9 cogKernelv2-non-oc-uv-Designgears #4)
and my battery is HORRIBLE lately. In the beginning it was fine so now I am thinking of moving over to Andromeda just to try it out
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=917727&page=109)
Mind you I m still new to flashing roms and etc so cognition was my first flash and I heard that it runs a voodo lag fix and i need to disable it or something before i can flash over to another rom? is there any instructions into how i can flash over to Andromeda or any other ROM with cognition 2.3b7 already running??
Thank you for any help !
Ok.. mind you I am still some what of a newb to the android phones myself.. but i recently bought one and the first flash I did was to cog 3.04.. then wanted to try out the new Andromeda 2.0 myself and I was able to flash right to Andromeda without having to use Odin..
From the other thread that I got the info from, supposedly if it is running the same Kernel?? (sorry if incorrect, I will try and get you the link to the thread and repost so you can read it for sure) then you can flash right to it without going back to stock first..
the thing is, your not using Cog 3.04.. so I am not 100% sure.. are you using Froyo or Eclair with that Rom?? If Froyo, guessing that you could just flash to Andromeda.. if not.. then you would have to do the Flash procedures that is in the sticky in the developers portion that says something along the lines of "Hot to FLash a Custom Rom" or similar title.. think its the only sticky on the page iirc..
let me get you that link.. and hopefully helps some..
Zug
Edit: here is the linke to that post i used to help me flash from cog to andromeda http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933275
You should be fine to just flash over as the new rom also has a kernel which recognizes ext4 file systems. If you are more comfortable disabling it you do so by placing a file in the voodoo folder that should be on your sd card named "disable-lagfix" without quotes, and reboot. It should take some time to reboot while it goes through the conversion process.
THANK YOU
THANK YOU GUYS !!!!
It worked out perfectly i didnt have to go thru the hassle of using ODIN and running through that whole process over again..it was very quick and i have to say this rom is AMAZING so far..its supper quick but i cant seem to get the whole animations (like how the settings pop out flying out from the side of the screen) but getting that to work is another mission for me now ..but thank you both once again ...Gona go have fun with this now
