CONFUSED N1 Owner

Hello folks,
Well I recently made the switch from iPhone OS to Android , picked up a used Nexus One in pretty good shape, no scratches, like new and what not, the phone is amazing BUT I am having a hard time understanding some stuff (I thought I was getting a stock N1, and it seems it has been loaded w/ custom ROM and is rooted and unlocked. -which not bad in my opinion, but...
I still have some questions, I am trying to update to Froyo 2.2, and im not sure if I will ever get OTA since the phone has been messed around with and if i manually update to 2.2 it will cause trouble.
1) When I boot the phone it shows the "lock" to be opened, so I am assuming it is oem unlocked, the phone has working WiFi tethering (just like in 2.2)
2) also in the menu of the phone there is an app "superuser permission" which thats why assume the phone is also rooted
And finally In the "About phone" I get the following:
firmware 2.1-update1
baseband
32.36.00.28h_4.06.00.12_7
kernel
2.6.34-cyanogenmod
mod version
cyanogenmod-5.0.8-n1-test3
build
epe54b
I have reset the phone to factory settings, but the same info comes up everytime. the phone runs flawless, no lags, overall i love the phone.
And finally if anybody knows please feel free to share, I am trying to open port 80 on the N1 while it is running Wifi tethering and the only way i have found to do this is if the N1 is rooted, correct me if im wrong... i have a rovio that is refusing to connect to the N1s network...
Any positive input will be highly appreciated! thanks!

Your not very confused!
Your phone is unlocked and has root. its running cyanogenmod-5.0.8-n1-test3.
You can install a custom froyo rom without too much of a problem from recovery. Remember to nandroid-backup everything from recovery first.
Get into recovery by holding down the volume down button as you press the power button to power on the phone.
Heres an example of tethering via usb/forwarded port

you can install 2.2 with no problem but you have to manually do it. you might get a notification for ota's but you won't be able to install them. just install it manually.

Man you guys are awesome! thanks for clearing this up for me.

Yeah man, you're money. For a used phone it is set up in possibly the best way possible for someone new to android and ready for you to throw the new CM6 ROM on there. You even have the proper radio already. You're good to go.

You can install Froyo in various ways. If you want total stock you can follow the instructions on this link and let OTA froyo install itself. If you need root you can download that from HERE
This method requires SDK installed with Fastboot on your computer with mandatory USB Drivers.
Or you can go the very easy way and use ROMs that is allready cooked, ready to flash in recovery right over your old ROM, like the link that is in my signature. It works great for me and is pretty much stock with root and a couple of extras you can delete via ADB if you don't need them..
Just download the Rom, drop it on the root of your SD Card and flash away in Recovery. all done!
What you are running is a test version of Cyanogen which is not the stable version. So it seems the previous owner didn't bother flashing it.

[Q] Am i out of options for Captivate...help...?

Dont know what to do at this point...any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Here is what all i have done so far. Late 2010 i downloaded OCLF from android market and rooted 2.1 Eclair had consistant Quad score from 2300-2450. Phone started acting glitchy and slow so i used app to unroot and root back. Worked great for a little while then same problems repeated. So i thought i'll update 2.2 then reroot. Waited on 2.2 through Samsung Kies to release and updated. 1st attempt phone rooted but when booted up it didnt recognize sim or memory card and about 5 force close screens appeared when on home screen. Also, wifi stopped working completely so i bought a new router and it worked again(tried on other wifi locations to test issue before and after). Samsung Kies wouldnt allow another update so i used Odin and it seemed to force everything through. Tried downloading SuperOneClick on WinXP went to root error stated i needed .net 2.0 file, so i downloaded .net v3.5. Went to root again and same error missing 2.0 file. Tried using One Click Root and copied files to memory card clicked 2.2 root phone reboots and i get the "signature verification failed error" a majority seem to be receiving(both done on WinXP and Mac 10.6.6-on Mac phone reboots fine but there is no root in place). Ive also tried other methods i've read about such as OneClickLagFix and z4root, downloading to computer placing on memory card using "MyFiles" that comes stock on device and "Astro Manager" from android market. When i extract files i get a security error that At&t has wonderfully put in place. Also tried rebooting into recovery mode to apply update.zip file and there is no option to install specific file only option to reinstall packages and when i reinstall i get signature verification error. THEN i used Odin to go back to 2.1 tried using SuperOneClick and One Click Root same problems repeat. Used Samsung Kies to go back to 2.2 to make a little faster since i cant seem to root either way and now i have no 3 button recovery mode or download mode. Purchased 3 ohm resistors for a Jig in case i EVER need download mode since my phone seems to be all sorts of messed up(or maybe its just user error). Ive tried many other ways and methods but this post is already too long to list. Phone seems to be running decent Quad score between 1000-1050 but i would appreciate ANY advice to root on either 2.1 or 2.2. I'm running Windows XP and Macbook w/ v. 10.6.6 and i feel as though i had exhausted all options!! PLEASE HELP!?!?

New tried Super One Click Root with 2.1 but always flawless for me with 2.2. You said you tried it with 2.1 but have you retried Super One Click since updating to 2.2?
If that doesn't work try odin back to 2.1 then use galaxy s one click. Only instead of running the program that places the update zip on your phone try manually putting the file i have attached on your phone.
The file attachment labeled Root.zip is the root update file from Galaxy One Click Root from. Just rename it as Update.zip. Put it on internal SD. Goto recovery mode and Reinstall packages (this is for 2.1).

if yo can go into download mode try odin back to stock as what bames said if still no button combos install the leaked froyo from designgears rev02 it will bring back your button combos and you can messed up anything again once settled you did't diasble oclf and file ext2 before flashing something that's your caveat there.. your phone will bounce back and forth with that

First of all. DO NOT PANIC. In order to solve your problem, first thing you need to do is leave everything as it is right now and head for the closest Starbucks, drink your coffee slowly and read the paper.
After you calm down, come back and do the following:
1) Read complete this posting and watch all three videos
2) Using one click ODIN flash back to JF6. If you don't have the three button combo use the DG ODIN that has the three button fix.
3) Do a master clear
4) In this point you have your phone like a brand new captivate on JF6. You can either use Kies or install CWM and install a new ROM.
5) I would recommend a new ROM that you like. Try one that you can flash directly with CWM because it is easier.
Best of lucks

[Q] Wifi problem with Froyo

Posted this in the wrong place... so here I go again.
Alright as the Title says I got a problem with Froyo.
First of all, this is the first time i ever tried anything with a cellphone, although so far it went well (took me long though).
First I removed an old version of cyanogenmod from the old user.
Then I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1098899
Then I installed Froyo by Laszlo 5.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929678
Now to my ultimate surprise, I actually got this all done and it works perfectly, except for one thing. Wifi does not work. When I turn it on it starts scanning for networks, then gives the message "unable to scan for network" and Wifi automaticly gets turned off again. Before installing this I always found 2 networks from the point I'm sitting now.
I simply got no clue what it could be.
Some info. Following the guide for radio and boot I got the correct information in the bootloader as mentioned in step 3:
Dream PVT 32b SHIP S-on
HBOOT 1.33.0013d (drea10000)
CPLD-4
RADIO 2.22.28.25
OCT 21,2009,22:33:27
About Phone:
Android version 2.2.1
Baseband version 62.50SJ.20.17U_2.22.28.25
Kernel version 2.6.34.8-froyobylaszlo [email protected] #1
Mod version FroyoByLaszlo-5.2
If you need more info, just ask.
And thanks in advance,
Greetings,
Noddahead
edit:
Little update here. On some forums I found that a file bcm_supp.conf in /data/wifi caused a problem like mine. When I plug in my phone in my pc I only see the sd card. Therefore I installed sdk/adb thing, connected with my phone (correctly). and I manually tried to remove the file via cmd. This resulted in the notification that the file did not exist.
Hence, back to nothing. Any way I can make my internal memory show up again?
All in all it seems like I got the same problem as many people had with Froyo. But it seemed solved for everyone after a certain patch. My Froyo version is obviously more recent. And no one seems to have this problem with this version of Froyo (in the Froyo by Laszlo thread page 97ish and forth)

Alright. I'm trying my very best but I'm really clueless right now.
After not getting this wifi to work I tried the COS-DS mod. Installing it and everything went fine, except for one thing: the settings menu would not open.
Not being able to do anything on that I went on to the next to the next rom: Cyanogenmod 7 Magpie. Once again, most things work, but some do not. I started out with an input.latin error, which I somehow fixed. I do not have a status bar, and I think I'm missing some other things too... for example, the android market does not appear. Wifi does work now though.
I have no clue what's going on... do I just need to start over from scratch? Trying Froyo again? I could really use some advise.

Have you tried wiping properly before flashing the new roms because I've never had a wi-fi issue unlees it was broken in the kernel which is rare these days.

Thank you for replying.
I am back to Froyo by Laszlo now, seems the best option. Before installing that I wiped cache, wiped data/factory reset, and I used Ohsaka Superwipe. But no Wifi.

Using another Kernel with Froyo by Laszlo did not help.

Well, last update here. Never got it to work, now having succes with GingerYoshi. This topic can be locked.

try everything???? re partition and re format sd card, try ezbifftest 2708 kernel, i had best luck with laszlo rom

First of all, thank you for your guide.
I had not actually partioned before installing froyo, and I did partition before using Ginger right now.
If I would repartion right now, and then reformat... can I then instantly install froyo laszlo and the kernel? And what values for the partioning?

you can flash a rom whenever you want, as long as you wipe all data from previous rom or mod first,so i would repartition to this
96-128mb=swap
512mb=ext
than flash the ohsaka superwipev2, power off device than reboot back to recovery.
flash the rom you want and enjoy!!
re-partitioning/re-formatting does not have to be done everytime.. it's just good to do every once in a while because you never know what could be happening in there... you or a developers rom could have done something somewhere that caused a bug in your sd partitions so its always good to wipe them at some point...
the ohsaka superwipe i do reccomend using everytime!! I also recommend wiping it manually sometimes... also another good known method is a fastboot wipe 'i forget the cmd for it' lol but do these every once in a while...

Did exactly as you said, unfortunately I still get the same problem: Cannot scan for networks.
I will stick to Gingeryoshi for the moment.
Thank you for your time and help.

wow, thats a bummer... i never had that issue with laszlo's rom at all... i wonder what could be wrong. sorry i couldn't help.. just out of curiosity what device do you have? is it a dream or magic?
possibly if you are using a magic, you may need a kernel with wlan.ko modules included for the specific kernel(would be icluded in kernel.zip file)... different kernels wont work with different drivers...

It is a Dream

[Q] Rogers Captivate Running Firefly. Can't Connect to Kies.

Hey folks. I'm having a fun time figuring out the ins and outs of my first Android device, the Rogers Captivate.
I had a really educational experience flashing to Firefly to try out something other than what Rogers gave out. I have Firefly running quite nicely and I like what it can do.
One thing I wasn't able to figure out was why I had so much trouble with installing the drivers on my Win7 machine. They always failed to install properly, and it confused me to no end. I still can't do it properly.
What I'd like to do is flash to the newly released 2.3 Gingerbread release for my phone from Rogers, but I can't get Kies to recognize the device. Kies then tries to reinstall the drivers, and it fails. I know I can do this through alternative means, but I'm concerned why the drivers keep screwing up and why Kies won't isntall them.
I'm guess I'll probably need to flash to stock and move forward. Any thoughts?

Kies won't let you upgrade if you're not running a stock version, so I believe you'll have to flash to stock first and then upgrade through Kies.
I also believe there is an odin flash for 2.3.3 posted in the general section somewhere. Check it out in this post
Not sure if that's your problem with Kies not recognizing the phone (I think it is), but you can definitely flash to 2.3.3 without it.

Successful upgrade to 2.3, No Data Connection
Alright, I've got 2.3 installed successfully, and it runs quick enough, but I have no data access although it shows that I should.
All my apps seem to be crashing on startup due to this, but I did everything factory, to my understanding.
I'm also going to have to root this puppy in order to get Titanium working, so I'll look for that info myself and give an update here when it's fixed.
Not sure why I'm not connected still though.
