*problem solved*

Ive been looking for a way to revert my wife's phone from 2.2 back to 2.1 without rooting.
Awesome man. You're a life saver. 2.2 wasn't working on hers at all. She hasn't been able to use her phone for 2 days.
THANKS!
+1

YES!!!!!
Thank you, I had a botched 2.2 install and my phone was useless, was getting desperate trying to find this information, my phone is back!!

I cant find that file ' passimg.passion_.zip ' under ROM at Android Technical.
NM- Seems if you update using the test ROM Google will OTA you the final Froyo release =D

thnx alot just a couple of q's b4 i do this. I had ERE27 build (I believe that it what is was b4) Will it go back to this and 2.1 and the previous build? Will I lose any contacts or anything else by doing this? Will I lose the unlock or rooted part of my phone? Is there anything I should be aware of? thnx again

*problem solved*

im a bit lost, so what are the instructions? Just download and boot to bootloader? Then what?

Nap05 said:
If you havent rootet before and if you have not unlocked the bootloder (like me), you will keep those "settings" and thus keep your warranty.
If you synchronise your contacts & calender with your google account before you do this you will keep your contacts.
I personally recommend to do a factory reset in the android settings, to "clear storage" in the bootloader menu and to format your SD-Card with normal settings before copying the PASSIMG.zip onto your SD-Card to ensure your phone and your SD-Card was "clean" before doing this backwards-update
ERE27 is the official first update for the Nexus One, so to say 2.1-update1. After you have done this restoration you will start with android 2.1, which is the original build you also got when you bought your Nexus One when it came out in January (Codename = ERD79). But you can directly update to 2.1-update1 (=ERE27) and wait until you get the message to update to 2.2 (FroYo).
I recommend to wait for the official launch since the actual FroYo version is not considered to be a final build.
I hope this answers your questions ;-)

thnx but it is already unlocked and rooted so I can still do this anyway right? is that what you are saying? even though yours insn't rooted or unlocked

*problem solved*

*problem solved*

what do you do with the passimg.passion_.zip is you are NOT rooted.

Nap05 said:
If your device is already rootet with an custom recovery image and an unlocked bootloader, the following steps are not the right for you if you want to restore your N1:
(1) Do a Factory Reset via Android OS
(2) Reboot into Fastboot, go into Bootloader and click "Cleare Storage"
(3) Reboot your phone, plug it into USB and make Windows access it via USB
(4) delete all files on the SD-Card, format it, and then copy the PASSIMG.zip onto your SD-Card
(5) Shut down your phone and boot it into fastboot again and go into bootloader again. Now the phone will regonize and load your PASSIMG.zip and ask you if you want to update.
Everything that follows this instructions should be self-explaining (press yes to update etc.).

I am updated to FRF50 but i want to go back to 2.1 ER79 I think it is called.
I think I need to unlock my bootloader for this to work. i keep getting a missing file error when trying to unlock it though.

Froyo Fatigue

Dear members, Like always i first of all would like to thank you all for the great effort and hard work all of you have put into this wonderful site.
I am a noob with a rooted nexus one. ( i was begining to think of myself a step above noob recently but trying to update my phone to froyo made me realize i still am a noob.
I so want to update to froyo NOW without waiting for the OTA update but i just cant figure out how to. i downloaded the FR50 ( with and without radio ) but both failed. SO i figured it must be due to stock recovery. So i went to Amon Ra's thread to flash the new recovery image using terminal but after placing the image on the sdcard when i enter the flash image command , it says " image not found " when its most definitely there on the sdcard and i checked the spellings over and over again but it just wont flash and as a result i still cant enjoy froyo
I am sooooo sorry if i posted this thread in the wrong section but i really could use some guidance from the most intelligent Android people i know .
Regards,
Nadeem
It's basically a 4 step process, but make sure you did all of them.
1) Unlock Bootloader
2) Apply Root. I used this method, quick and painless: http://android.modaco.com/content/g...-erd79-frf50-superboot-rooting-the-nexus-one/
3) Flash Recovery using ADB.
3a) Recommended: Do a Nandroid backup image of your Stock 2.1u1, just in case something wierd happens during your flash.
4) Flash FRF50 ROM w/Radio. You want the version with the new Radio, as I believe 2.2 won't work with the 2.1 radio without tinkering.

It works for the most part, but you'll get a crash if you try to record video without updating the radio.
Wait...you put the Recovery image on your SDCard? It should be on your harddrive. You push the the image from the HDD to the phone. Unless there's some other way I don't yet know about.

Well, I'm glad I at least the gist of the material is sticking. I browse this place just about every day trying to keep myself from bricking my phone. If I do, it's back to my Nokia E71, and being forced to use Symbian after Android 2.2...not pleasant at all.
I highly appreciate the super quick response ATnTDUde
The first two steps in your method describe how to get root i presume....
Actually i already rooted my Nexus 1 and i am fairly certain the bootloader is unlocked too ( i see a small padlock unlocked every time i turn my N1 on)
Oh so i am going to have to flash the AMon Ra recovery image using ADB. actually on Amon's thread there was another method of flashing the image using terminal which i tried and failed at. I'll most definitely try ADB method once i get back home.
Just wanted to ask you a quick question Sir.
Once i flash Amon Ra's recovery image i assume i wont be getting any OTA updates from google ???? right ....
Also if i want to go to the stock recovery image ( is there a way to do so ? ) will i start getting OTA updates
Please some one help with the two questions above coz i cant start the process without knowing.

Restore Nexus One for Dummies?

I bought my phone used and I used the universal androot app to root it without locking the bootloader. I want to take it back to just the way it was when it came out of the box. Are there easy to follow step by step directions anywhere? I've searched but everything says it assumes you know how to use adb and fastboot. I don't. Do directions exist for dummies? It sure was a piece of cake to restore my old iPhone.
Yeah, I had the same problem a few weeks ago. My suggestion is look at some tutorials for installing custom ROMs and then reverse engineer those once you've learned how to use adb and fastboot.
You mean something like this -->

Kind of like that, but this part confused me.
"Once you have this installed, add a folder path for the ADB utility to your System Environment Variables “path” variable."
Ok, when I get to step 7, the command prompt says "FAILED (remote: not allowed)"
What's up with that? HELLLLLLP!
I did a manual erase user data, but now when I go to Type 'fastboot flash userdata userdata.img'
the command prompt tells me FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
Help?
Okay, sounds like you're panicking.
There's kinda like a fix everything button, and that's a passimg.
Grab it here: (remove the spaces, I'm not allowed to post links)
w w w . megaupload . com/?d=7JQU3MV0
All you gotta do is put that on the root of your SD card. Boot into bootloader mode (hold down trackball when powering) and select recovery. That's all. It'll detect passimg, and fix everything.
The caveat here, is that you'll be on EPE76 - which was super duper annoying to actually upgrade from (but I eventually found a FRF91 rom that worked - I'll see if I can find it and post it for you).
But yeah. Download that. Fix everything. Enjoy
From EPE76 can't you just do an OTA update to upgrade to Froyo? And what exactly does this passimg do and how does it work? I got adb and fastboot working and everything, I just get errors when I try to flash. Do you have to have an unlocked bootloader to do this stuff? I just used the universal androot app to gain root, so the bootloader wasn't actually unlocked.
No. the passimg will just automatically flash radio, recovery, etc. so you don't have to. If you've got it working manually now, no need to use it.
The passimg does pretty much what you were asking about. The Nexus One has the code name "Passion", so "pass/img" is the original factory shipping image for the Nexus One. The OTA should then** come to your phone, maybe in a few hours, but maybe not for a while.
And if I do the passimg it shouldn't screw up the phone since I'm already running froyo and this will kick me back to 2.1?
Read - Nexus One Wiki, "Unroot / Restore your Nexus", PASSIMG.ZIP method.
Written especially to avoid threads like this one.
Well it worked perfectly and now I'm running 2.1 EPE76. Is there a way to force it to update to Froyo?
you should be able to open up your dialer and type
*#*#CHECKIN#*#*
or
*#*#2432546#*#*

That's a negative. It just says checkin result success, but doesn't download any update. When I go to about phone and system updae it says my system is up to date.
If I was reading correctly I should upgrade from EPE76 to FRF85B and then I should get the FRF91 OTA? Can anyone confirm this?
I got everything working and I'm back to completely stock Froyo FRF91 and I just wanted to thank everyone who contributed to this thread for guiding my annoying newbie ass through the process and teaching me a wealth of knowledge about the Android OS along the way. Thanks again!
For future reference, if you want to restore your phone while having no issues accessing it, just get Rom Manager. Use it to download and install a stock unrooted Froyo rom (just make sure to select wipe data and do not select the rooting options).
Very easy to restore. The passimg method comes in very handy if you cannot even boot into the OS.

[Q] Basic ROM required for Nexus One

Sorry for such a Noob question.
I would like to download the basic stock rom for the N1.
My wifes N1 is not working correctly & she only uses basic features on the phone so i would like to flash it with the original stock rom.
Also at the moment we cannot turn the mobile internet off either.
PLEASE HELPPPPPPP
Bart
Here is the latest stock release in all it's options:
http://android.modaco.com/content/g...build-info-and-repacks-stock-rooted-deodexed/
The bottom most link sounds like the one you're looking for.
thank you so much for that
is flashing the rom on this the same as it would be for a Hero using HTC Sync on your computer?
if not please point me to a guide
my assumption from what i can see is that with this i dont need to root the phone or anything like that, is that right?
Hi sorry guys I still really need some help here.
I have managed to download the ROM as suggested but Im so confused from reading the different tutorials on how to actually flash the phone to revert it back to the stock rom.
I have seen the below tut would you advise using this?
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614850
however i do not know what these terms mean
adb reboot bootloader
Confirm fastboot connection fastboot devices
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
is fastboot where you hold the trackball down & then turn the device on giving you the sub menu?
sorry for the noob questions but i really need to get this phone sorted
Many thanks
Bart
There's a much simpler way to return to stock.
Download FRF91 from http://developer.htc.com
Rename to passimg.zip and copy to the root of the SD card.
Hold Vol- and power on the phone, it will find the file and ask if you wish to install. Job done.
Rusty
Thank you so much, you may save me from a divorce & a headache.
The internet truly makes the world a smaller place.
Thank you again so much sir
hi followed followed the steps & the phone doenst find the passimg.zip file when it reboots
i renamed the original zipped file to passimg.zip & put it on the sc card
also tried to extract the original file that i downloaded into another folder, renamed that to passimg.zip & put on the root of sd card.
neither method seemed to work as when i rebooted the phone with Vol - key held it didnt recognise or find the file
i just get the fastboot menu
Please help
Check it's not called passimg.zip.zip
Quite common
thanks mate i checked that
i ensured that i could see the extension before i renamed the file
so the file is def renamed passimg.zip
please confirm that i needed to just rename the downloaded zip file & not extract the file & then zip it
what else can i check please
thanks Rusty

What ROM is on her phone currently? Is it rooted? Is the bootloader unlocked? These are all important questions =)
phone is running 2.2.1 at the mo
phone is not rooted or anything unlocked, she has only received the over the air updates to the phone but done nothing else.
I think that the issues she's been having have occurded since the last update.
when she first had the phone it worked a treat
thanks for your help guys
Well in that case she *is* on a basic stock ROM. What problems are happening on her phone?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
the keyboard often would just stop responding
the internet would work and then not work
overall the phone would be working a lot slower than when she originally got it which is why I want to revert it to the stock Rom
Just factory reset it
ok I tried to do a factory reset but that's just wipes all the data right and doesn't actually reset the software version
I have done this by using the option within the phone menu and then also done this by using the clear storage option from the fastboot menu and again it only clears the phone's data and not reset the Rom to original
Again, you already have a stock ROM! It's the newest version but it's definitely stock unless you made any egregious mistakes during the upgrade or made any modifications yourself. You've said it was never rooted, hence I must conclude that it's as stock as it's going to get.

As the bloke above me says, its already as original as it's going to get!
ok guys sorry about this, its probably down to my mis communication, I want to reset the phone to firmware version 2.1 which is what it came with as it was working fine then. I thought this is what was meant by returning to original stock Rom.
apologies for the mis com
how do I reset it to original firmware 2.1
Even if you did, it will bug you to update all the time.
You need a passimg file, the original one for the N1 (ERD79) can be found on shipped-roms.com
Rename it to passimg.zip, put it on the root of the SD card and power on the phone holding Vol- it will find the file and ask if you want to update.

can FRG83 be soft-rooted?

Is there any current way to root the Nexus One on FRG83 (2.2.1) to where you don't have to unlock the bootloader?
Basically looking to be able to flash a ROM without voiding my warranty for good by unlocking the bootloader, since that cannot be restored to factory no matter what.
Any help would be appreciated, I have searched all the N1 forums but haven't seemed to find this out.

Sorry for the delay! Yes, I am running the CyanogenMod nightly and ClockWork Recovery on it !
JWhipple how did you flash the rom on your phone, I have tried this as will but I'm stuck at the ! screen.
The way I tried was to root my phone using this app (which worked)
Downloaded lasted nightly build
rename to update.zip
copy to sdcard
power phone up in bootloader
choose recovery
At this stage all I see is the andriod and a ! , it doesn't seem to flash.
I am on 2.2.0
alos how log did the flash take juat is case I'm not waiting long enough
cheers
I used RomManager to install the ClockWorkRecovery , and then installed using ClockWorkRecovery.
Cheers, just figured that out
Rom booting up now.
Can't want to try some others as well
Did you find the google addon, they don't seem to be on the Cyanogen web site?

Right now I'm watching the Cyanogen logo just pop up send a lighting blot around the andriod then pop off (over and over).
I take it this is what you saw? Also been about 5 mnutes now.

I saw that but it didn't take more than a minute for the first boot.
Sorted now.
Process for me was to
root phone using the software on the first page
download the lasted nightly build
copy it to sdcard
download Rom manager
Allow Rom manager to install its recovery image
DO BACKUP
boot into bootloader
start up recovery which started rom manager's recovery
clean all old data (hence why it wasn't booting correctly)
flash rom
I can also confirm it is now possible to run custom roms without unlocking your device (no padlock on bootup screen).
Thanks JWhipple

HTC DESIRE 510 64bit STOCK REVERT

Hey, I am trying to revert my HTC desire 510 to stock, i do not have a backup. I found files on the htcdev.com and thought they were Roms (easy catch). Unfortunately they are not. I don't even know what to do with these files in order to get my ROM in place.
My device is a 64bit, was running UK Vodafone rom. i need to get that back on. Need help here...
That up there, old...... I got the solution, thanks to the developers that helped me. Am now posting the links here. Choose which your phone is based on. The link includes different RUU's, not only that of Vodafone.
https://mega.nz/#fm/95YHUAQT
i have been told that the upper link doesnt work, try this...... https://mega.co.nz/#F!3Zo10Zya!-NbM_2RWWecFlc5mH9bLbA
I did not upload anything, so i will not take credit for that job. On the other hand, i will take credit for widely sharing. (Easy Find)
Best way of downloading is having the Mega downloader app on your computer.
Tested and approved for share. I thank all the developers out there. FYI, the RUU's do not exist on the htc.com/uk site. I do not know why. Those of x86 have theres on htc.com/us site.
Hit THanks
ADDITION
The HTC Desire 510 x64 Rom has been debloated, thanx to the developers that have been working on this.

HOW TO INSTALL:

Not much is changed.
Bellow are the app replacements I made:
1. Sense Home ---> NOVA Launcher
2. Sense Messages ---> Google Messages (Material Design)
3. Sense Calculator ---> Xlythe Calculator (Material Design)
4. Sense Calendar ---> Google Calendar (Material Design)
5. Sense Clock ---> Google Clock (Material Design)
6. Sense File Manager ---> ES File Explorer
7. Sense Weather ---> AccuWeather
4. Sense Keyboard ---> Google Keyboard
He removed a lot of HTCs and Google’s useless apps and other things, that are taking up space and resources.
From Google apps you have left:
1. Google Play Store
2. Google Chrome
3. Google Play Games
4. Google Drive
4. YouTube
5. All other background apps and services that are required for the Google apps to function properly.
From HTC apps you have left:
1. Camera app
2. FM Radio
3. Gallery (I couldn't find a decent replacement)
4. Music
5. Photo Editor
6. LockScreen
He removed the HTC Browser, Zoe, E-mail and other useless stuff from HTC.
He has included:
1. Clean Master Lite - It's much faster than the full blown app and gets the job done. Lots of people hate it but it works like a charm on this device.
2. DiskInfo - With this little app you can see all of the partitions on your device. Regardless if you are S-ON or S-OFF.
3. Glim Lite - A set of beautiful Material design icons for NOVA launcher.
He didn't include an E-mail app because the Play Store is full of them and I couldn't choose. This choice is up to you.
How to install it?
First of all you need an unlocked bootloader with a TWRP - custom recovery installed on your device.
To unlock your bootloader go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/desi...e-510-t2910233. Follow that tutorial to get your bootloader unlocked. After a successful unlocking you'll need a custom recovery.
Download this file: https://dl.twrp.me/a11ul/twrp-3.0.2-0-a11ul.img. This is the latest TWRP recovery for our device. Now we need to flash this file on the device:
Before starting put the contents of the ZIP file on to your SD card. And make sure that it has this folder structure:
Code:
--SD CARD
--TWRP
--BACKUPS
--Your device serial number (The name of this folder should be the serial number of your device otherwise TWRP won't see the backups in this folder)
--2016-04-17--13-49-21_KTU84L_release-keys (Don't change this, I don't know what will happen if you do)
All you do is replace the downloaded backup with your backup, 1st delete your files..... DO NOT REPLACE THE FOLDERS, ONLY THE FILES IN THE LAST FOLDER
1. Power off your device by pulling the battery out and putting it in again.
2. Press the Volume Down and Power Buttons until you see the HBOOT screen.
3. Press the Power button again to enter Fastboot mode.
4. Connect your phone with your PC using an USB cable.
5. Now open your terminal (I'm using Ubuntu but it's same in Windows as well) and type:
Code:
fastboot devices
This will show you an output like this:
Code:
--your devices serial number-- fastboot
If it doesn't show you an output like that then you probably didn't install the drivers correctly or you have a faulty USB cable.
If your output is the same as above than we can move on.
This command will flash the TWRP recovery on your device:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /full/path/to/the/recovery.img
Example:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /home/denny/Downloads/twrp-3.0.2-0-a11ul.img
Now you have TWRP on your device.
To boot TWRP press the Power button to go back to the HBOOT screen and navigate to the RECOVERY option with the volume keys and again press the Power button. After a few seconds you'll see your new recovery.
Restoring the backup
First we need to wipe any potential data that will cause conflicts with the new system.
1. Tap on "Wipe"
2. Tap on "Advanced Wipe"
3. Select all but leave the Micro SDCard option unchecked.
4. Swipe the slider to wipe the data.

Hey, I am trying to revert my HTC desire 510 to stock, i do not have a backup. I found files on the htcdev.com and thought they were Roms (easy catch). Unfortunately they are not. I don't even know what to do with these files in order to get my ROM in place.
My device is a 64bit, was running UK Vodafone rom. i need to get that back on. Need help here...

That up there, old...... I got the solution, thanks to the developers that helped me. Am now posting the links here. Choose which your phone is based on. The link includes different RUU's, not only that of Vodafone.
I did not upload anything, so i will not take credit for that job. On the other hand, i will take credit for widely sharing. (Easy Find)
Best way of downloading is having the Mega downloader app on your computer.
Tested and approved for share. I thank all the developers out there. FYI, the RUU's do not exist on the htc.com/uk site. I do not know why. Those of x86 have theres on htc.com/us site.

Hey Zubagy. I have been searching for an RUU for vodaphone for ages!! Is this the stock?
Could you advice me on how to apply this after after rooting my device. Will this lock my carrier again. I am actually on a different carrier, but they can't detect tethering because I bought the phone from vodaphone.

Any time, yes... the version is 1.51.161.10. It doesnt lock the operator, your phone is just based on the Vodaphone make but you are able to use any operator. Iam in Uganda and i use the phone for Airtel. The Vodaphone part of it all is to jst show who the makers or promoters are in this case. But all that is Bloatware. I have updated my Blog and added the necessary links that you are intrested in, and how to install. (Debloated rom)
in this case am assuming you have x64 based HTC.
Sorry for the delay in the response this time, I went offline yesterday.
That rom is a '.exe'. this means you will have to ran it on ur windows computer and all u do, is insert the phone when you are asked to, and let the computer do the rest.
If you need further help, dont hesitate....especially when it comes to flashing the fdebloated version, the developer of that version is not replying, dont know why

Many thanks, you have been very helpful,
So all I have to do is download the Vofaphone ROM and run it on my computer after my phone is rooted? Do I need to make sure that boot loader is locked and any other precautions I should take? I wish to unroot the phone afterwards and leave it as the vodaphone version.

No, no need for relocking the boot loader, just go a head and insert your phone as it will tell you too Just make sure you have battery of around 50%+.
your wish will come through to unroot the phone, but trust me.....it is boring. the debloated rom is far much better when it comes to performance. the phone is actually smoother and you get space for other applications. What i did with my phone, i installed the debloated, added a memory card of 8gb, partitioned it so that i can push some apps to the phone..... but hey, anytym......You need more help..... dont hesitate.....will be right here.
hit thanx if this helped

Hi Zubaggy, I have just two more questions.
After I have opened the .exe file and installed the Vodaphone ROM on my phone, do I need to also install the 1.51.161.10 Kernel from the HTCdev website, or does the ROM have that inside it.?
Thanks

---------- Post added at 10:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------
I have tried installing several times (vodaphone UK 1.51.161.7) and at first it gave me error 115 and then the next 3 times was stuck on 0/7 install for 30 minutes. I have rooted using dips root method but this ROM doesn't work. Can you help me?

When you are flashing a RUU, you need to unroot the phone, install the stock recovery and relock the bootloader before you start the install process. The errors above tell you that you haven't done something from the things I mentioned.

I installed the recovery I made using philz touch. I believe I am now unrooted. I was told by Zubaggy that I don't need to relock boot loader. How do I do that anyway?

When you run the RUU the installer expects the phone to be in original shape. That is way it gives our errors when it detects a custom kernel or a custom recovery.
This is the stock kernel:
https://mega.nz/#!LQIDQZzK!pdmMgPrh5clCYWuyAczfzyIhKBFDyysYWAOLRhx0pZM
This is the stock recovery:
https://mega.nz/#!uMQ0ETpB!5YLSOjAHGfDMCrDHIN3smSTjPI35LcD1wSJf4BZ6Luc
Flash them using fastboot and after that relock the bootloader and try the RUU again.
If you have any questions please ask.
EDIT: You can relock the boot loader using the command: fastboot oem lock

Thanks Danny for your fast responses I have been responding to you in my thread but would like to keep it here.
Philz touch is installed on my system and I don't know how to remove it.
Which should I flash first the stock kernel or recovery.
Surely I can't use recovery while I have one already, what if I install the stock recovery and then I haven't got a back up file.
What commands do I need to enter in CMD to flash those files.
Thanks.
