What SPL do you have installed?
Did you hit the back button to get to fastboot mode?
If you're trying to flash DREAIMG.nbh from the rainbow screen (stock SPL), make sure...
1) If you downloaded it in a .zip file, you extracted the actual .nbh from it and are trying to use it (the .nbh)
2) Make sure the filename is correct. I've seen many a guide in the past that say the file should be "DREAMIMG.nbh" when its actually "DREAIMG.nbh
3) Make sure the file is in the root of your SD card
That is of course you're trying the original root method. Hope it helps.
i thought stock spl doesnt support fastboot

Since I'm unable to root my dream until I have SPL 1.33.2005 on the phone I've been trying to update it to the correct one. Once in recovery mode upon pressing alt-S with the update.zip on the root of the sdcard I get the following error
E:No signature (5 files)
E:Verification failed
Installation aborted
Exactly what am I missing?
that spl has nothing to do with getting root as far as i know. to get root you have to downgrade to rc-29. that is haykuro's spl that frees up more memory in system

apologies for my ignorance with rogers. never had to deal with a rogers phone lol. but back to the OP's problem, if it says no signature then the spl you have for some reason is not signed. really do not know what the reason for this would be. you could have gotten a bad download of the spl. try to redownload the spl from haykuro's site and see if it will work
Even with haykuro's signed spl I still get the same error as before.
Also following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4048946&postcount=404 I get "cannot load "boot-new.img"
I have no clue whats going on anymore.

do you have the boot-new.img in the same folder as all your other fastboot required stuff. sorry for lack of proper terms. follow the second post in this thread to set up a fastboot folder and place the boot-new.img in it. see if that helps any
The new boot image is in the same folder as the fastboot exectble as well as adb. I added the path of my tools folder to the environmental variables previously as well as copied AdbWinApi.dll to the system32 folder just in case. Again no dice.
Can you use adb or fastboot for anything else?
fastboots useless until I have the new spl installed, which I can't install either.
The only thing i can think of is that since it says the files are not signed, is that you can try to sign the update.zip for the spl and try flashing it. Other than that i can think of nothing else at this time. I'm sorry. Like i said earlier don't really know anything about the rogers rooting process except for what i saw in the thread posted earlier and since i do not have a rogers device to test it on i can't know more than what i read.
PHP:
After further hunting it seems that there are two different update.zips.
One is 184kb and one is 2MB. Using the rogers dream rooting guide I get the 184k one which doesn't work. Should I start hunting for the 2mb one and give the rooting another go?
It can't hurt to look for it. I hope you can finally get it rooted
I may have just bricked the phone.
I used the recovery flasher app from the marketplace to flash the recovery image from the rogers rooting thread. That gave me the cyanogen 1.2 + JF recovery image. I then flashed the .2005 spl or so I thought. After booting into fastboot it still showed .0009 spl. I figured what the hell and made a nandroid backup, the wiped the phone and flashed it with the cyanogen rom 4.0 and now the phone is stuck on the rogers boot screen. I still can get to the modified recovery mode as well as fastboot though.
your phone is not bricked thankfully that is just a soft brick. try to flash haykuro's spl from the rogers root thread again after using the recovery flasher app.
make sure that you do not use the trackball to flash it and that you use the keyboard commands and home and back to reboot.
I followed the steps in this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544654 for unrooting my rogers dream right down to the letter but somehow managed to screw up. I want to get my phone back to its original state, but am unsure of two things, so im going to ask them here before I screw up second time (and brick for good :S)
Code:
fastboot flash radio rogersradio.img
fastboot flash recovery rogersrecovery.img
fastboot erase system -w
and flash the update.zip found somewhere on this forum ;P

1) Where is this update.zip? There are so many, im not even sure where to begin looking
2) I cant access my sd card anymore (can only boot into fast boot mode and recovery mode). Is there still a way to write the update.zip to the card, or do I need to find another phone to give me access to the card.
Thanks!

you can put the files on your sdcard by mounting it in your recovery and using adb push
if you have cyanogens recovery, go to console on it and type
Code:
ums_enable
and it will show up on your computer
when your done
Code:
ums_disable
correct me if im wrong, but my phone needs to be rooted in order to use cyanogens recovery right?
Something tells me that my phone didnt root when I was following those instructions (maybe I have that perfect SPL everyone is talking about?)
Anyway so far Ive spent half a day on this, and no luck, and I feel like Im getting ever closer to bricking my phone. It doesnt help that almost all guides here are for the G1 and very little for rogers.
Anyway, is anyone interested in $25 that Ill pay them via paypay/online banking to talk to me through recovery? Private msg me

It's posted on rogers website.
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.

Yeah, its very easy.
adb shell flash recovery /sdcard/Amon-Ra.img
or whatever the thing is.
or you can
fastboot flash recovery C:\android\tools\wha\tev\er\Amon-Ra.img
The path just has to be correct wheter o
I have tried searching every combination I could think of, but to no avail. I cannot find the file online. The RC29 image isn't a standard zip like other roms so I can't pull it from that, and I don't want to risk downgrading from my newly installed (First time) cm4.
So, if anyone has a copy of the RC29 filesystem saved somewhere, would you be so kind as to share the /system/framework/framework-res.apk file with me?
Thanks in Advanced.

What do you need it for? You can't do anything with it.
RC29 was very short lived so it'll be a rare find.
Mostly for the boot animation from it. I figured that RC29 being the G1 root exploit source, and anyone rooting and putting a custom rom on it has to go through it to upgrade first, that someone might be able to pull the file for me.

Well... you can try making a nandroid backup, then unrooting, pulling the framework-res.apk file and then root all over again.
That's what I don't want to risk. Read that going back to RC29 requires downgrading the SPL and radio. I rather not risk it.
Just, if anyone is rooting a g1 and happens to see this if they could copy the file in the mean time, it be great. Not crucial, but be a nice surprise.
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.
