Froyo on Stock EPF30 (Vodafone Germany) - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
My friend is having Nexus One with Android 2.1 update-1 build EPF30, bought in Vodafone Germany .After following general steps to update to Froyo we get the error E:signature verification failed message as well. from a bit of googling it looks like this upgrade “only” works for build number ERE27. Is there an alternative for the phones with build number EPF30 to upgrade to ERF50 or latest Froyo without rooting or unlocking?
TIA

Bump bump bump

wait or root it

Hi there
I live in AUS where they aren't out yet so i imported one and it turned out to be an EPF30 model aswell.
And after looking around im pretty sure there is no Superboot for this build yet BUT i was able to do the other option from this post to get mine rooted and get Kang o rama installed.. (for some reason Cyanogen would not work for me.)

But you should also know that it is now possible to root your nexus without unlocking the bootloader / voiding your warranty (i wish this came out just a few days earlier so i could have done it)

T-Mobile N1 Vs Vodafone UK N1

Hello
I am wondering something... Vodafone UK N1 is supposed to have different Android ROM than the T-mo N1... If you root the phone etc. will the... let's say FRF91 work on it just like a Tmo N1?
Thnx for the answer and yes I searched a bit but didn't find it since it was probably asked before.
Thnx again
My friend have a Vodafone germany N1 which I think is the same N1 as the UK
Its starts with EPF30 build
He have already root it and now using the FRF91 Stock ROM
Everything seems running.
Thnx for the info love ya

Official FROYO announced by SFR

Hi,
I found this :
http://www.frandroid.com/51647/sfr-presentation-du-calendrier-des-mises-a-jour-des-androphones/
Basicly, it's a listing of every phones SFR (french vodafone) is going to update with dates.
Here's the thing :
Thanks FrAndroid for the news.
PS: it's written "(est.)" which is the short for estimation, just to be clear.
PS2: that means a stable froyo SenseUI rom in a near future
Thanks Sympnotic, but i'm more excited about gingerbread!
Thanks Sympnotic. Some light on Froyo tunnel for Wildfire !

SFR released the legend 2.2 OTA update, it was planned for the 17th december, we're only the 9.
I'll do *#*#checkin#*#* to see if something appears for our wildfires
edit: I might have been too excited but Legend had their updates one month ago, didn't read 17/11 but 17/12 as I don't see the point to include an already released update on a Roadmap.
Vodafone (NL) updated their Legends already 15/11, the unbranded phones are updating now. So 17/11 is the right date.
But that means that vodafone will give the update in about 4 days, and HTC maybe in less than 2 weeks?
Because they're busy with Legend right now.
I hope so

Yep, I know but thanks for pointing it out here.
Well, if SFR release the update before HTC, it would be easy to grab just the SFR rom, purge it from their bloatwares (sfr wifi / tv / account - apps) and add more languages to make it a WWE rom.
The Wildfire from a friend of mine has recieved an update today.

How do the updates work? Does your phone do it automatically? are you notified first?
I'm on 3 in the UK
Edit: But it's a Vodafone Wildfire which I had unlocked (if that makes a difference).

You can either reflash your phone with a RUU from Shipped roms (must have HTC Synch installed to use RUU's) or you could wait for Danne_jo to release a UK version of Froyo (as we all know he'll be the first(he he))

U need to make goldcard
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
you cant put lower software over higher even with goldcard. you need downgrade you system to lower or same as you want. and it is wrong topic
thanks for the info, though... I believe they are releasing 2.2.1 for wildfire? Since modaco and cyangen have somehow picked up a leaked froyo for wildfire.

Not cyanogen, they work on raw code released by Google. Hence cm is way different from other repackaged roms.

[Q] Unlock Captivate from Rogers with Helroz will work for Argentina?

Hello, my name is Esteban, I'm from Argentina and I'm new in the forum.
I'm going to buy in Rogers Canada the Samsung Captivate ( SHG-i896 )
I'm planning to Unlock it for using it in Argentina and I have 2 questions:
The easyest to answer: will the phone work here if I unlock it with Helroz app? (I've checked and the bands are the same, i mean, is something ELSE that could make my phone not to work here?)
and If so, the Captivate from Rogers Canada comes with 2.1 stock android... if I unlock it in 2.1 , and upgrate to 2.2 official or to a CRom, will it still be Unlocked? (I dunno how android works for networks permissions, i think it will still work, but i guess you could answer better).
I hope you can answer those ittems... if all goes as I want, in a month I'll have a Captivate in my hands.
Thanks. Esteban.
update 1:
PLEASE SPECIFY, if you manager to succefully unlock, wich tool did you use and where did you BUY the phone (Rogers, AT&T), tnx!
other thing: i need yo know where did you buy it in Rogers or AT&T (i mean, for your profile info) because i896 (Rogers) and i897 (AT&T) are EXACTLY the same, except when it comes to UNLOCKING.... the AT&T is easy.. but the Rogers one, is trickier. (and I would buy it in ROGERS) tnx!
From what I've read unlocking the captivate is very difficult, so make sure your research on the matter is extensive.
If you decide to get it, once you learn how to flash ROMs and such all of your other questions will be answered.
You can learn to do that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
I read (i cant paste links, i'm not at home, then i'll search in the visited links)
a lot of people could unlock it with success. (Rogers i896 version, not i897 from AT&T). I'll search and paste.. because they're recent posts (in this very forum).
in http://forums.redflagdeals.com/roge...ck-also-works-other-galaxy-s-variants-999545/
says that he made it with this web
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906255
(the only one exaple i can find now)
Well I dont know much about that, hopefully someone else comes in here with more information.
unlock the network lock for cappy was pretty easy before, i am not sure the latest build changes that.
once you unlock it, it will NOT relock even if you upgrade your rom.
yup, I unlocked my phone by a software on Market SGS unlock tool or sth like that

I will buy it in Rogers.
Same question: did you buy it in Rogers?
I sure did. I unlocked it just to see if it would work, and it did.
EXCELENT! =D
what do you think? does it worth it to bring one here and be "sure" that , excepting a failure coming from me, it will work? =D when did u buy it (to see the stock and maybe new sub-models of crap like that xD) did it came with 2.1 outtof the box?
Well .. if anyone has something to add or tried to do so, please let me know becassue i'm going to give the confirmation to my aunt this week. thanks!
People.. I already have it xD . . . in 10 minutes I managed to unlock it.. it was easy. . .
mn... I installed Cognition 4.1.1 . . .and (even with stock rom) I noticed mn.. not poor.. but.. not that good batery usage... and GPS! I cant make it work =S. . .
In quadrant I get 1600 max... is it Ok? I saw people with 2000+ without OC . . .what do you think?
(can your recommend me any crom for performance.. without OC? I managed to esearch .. but there are a LOT of Roms... and they 're not THAT clear in features.. lagfixes, Gps fixes -i need that- etc... ... so.. if you know something, let me know xD
tnxs for previouss responses!

[Q] Need a little help here :)

Hey guys newb here, Ive recently bought the HTC Inc S on the australian optus network, the thing is it came with so much crap that I dont even need,
I wanted to flash CM7.1 onto my phone but Im unable to get S-OFF due to my HBOOT being 1.16 and theres no support for it on the rev website, so is there any way for me to either get rid of all this bloatware that came with my phone or am i able to re-flash android 2.3.3 or a newer version of android available for the htc inc s that comes without all that bloatware.
This is my first HTC phone and kinda already regretting getting it, its a great phone just wish i got one with a earlier hboot version
I'm in the exact same situation, but still hesitating to go through the HTC Dev unlocking process, that apparently worked for a few guys:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301475&page=4
Also, the Optus Stock Rom works very well, no bugs or issues...The whole bloatware is very annoying, but I learned to live with it.
The thing is, you never know what type of issues you get by flashing a custom Rom... So that's another down side.
I'm not wanting to flash a custom Rom just want to flash Android 2.3.5 or 2.3.7 with out all the bloatware I thought it would be possible considering its not a custom rom is this possible? Also what's the difference between froyo, gingerbread and honeycombe I always see that popping up in the forums
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
Well, there are no "Clean" Roms out there...Except some Custom Roms like CM7, all stock Roms have some degree of bloatware.
Eclair is Android 2.1
Froyo is Android 2.2
Gingerbread is Android 2.3
Honeycomb is Android 3.0 (this version is designed for Tablets only)
Ice Cream Sandwich will be Android 4.0 (to be released on mid November this year and will be the first unified Android platform - both for phones and tablets)
Oh ok cheers thankyou, is there a link for a gingerbread download 2.3.7? Just want a fresh flash with less bloatware

As long as you can get root access even if temporary you can uninstall bloatware via titanium backup.

yes i assume you have s-on ...so try superoneclick for a temp root (which will get unrooted once u restart the device) and remove the bloatwares from titanium backup.

HI, if you really want to flash CM7 to your phone and you have HBOOT 1.16 out there, I suggest you to downgrade your HBOOT to 1.13 by using goldcard, which I did to my phone incredible S and work out successfully. then you can do the S-OFF by AlphaRev, after that get your phone rooted which I think you can find in other thread as well if u successfully downgrade HBOOT to 1.13..
I got the source from a chinese forum (downgrade to HBOOT 1.13) so I think there is a guide for that in english as well but i didn't search for it..
hope this help..

With HBOOT 1.13 you can go straight to the http://Revolutionary.io and gain true S-OFF on your phone. Read the documentation carefully and you shouldn't have any trouble at all.
Hi
Firstly welcome to xda
You're in a good position, as your hboot version is able to be s offed without downgrading
You can go straight to revolutionary.io and s off from there.
Here is the link to the video tutorial I used back in the day
http://theunlockr.com/2011/08/02/ho...android-phone-using-the-revolutionary-method/
Make sure you're using the correct files for our device because in the video they use a HTC sensation (same procedure)
S off is better than htcdev because it allows you more permissions to flash things like radios and kernels easily
Good luck, if you have questions them Google is your friend, if Google doesn't know then ask here

The OP didn't received the OTA. He was asking how to root his current ROM.
If you really want the ICS ROM for your Bell IncS, HTC has released the ICS RUU on the HTCDEV.com/devcenter/downloads site. There you will find a NAM/Canadian version that you can use to upgrade.
Thanks tplblake, but I already knew this. It's just that, I have reread the op post, and see that I had misread his post. I was reading "has" while the op had written "hasnt". I gueas that the missing quote in "hasnt", got me confused.

Woah, I came here to find out what was going on with ICS and it looks like this was posted a month ago! :good:
I take it this wouldn't have bell's bloatware also?
It's the Canadian rom without the Bell bloatware. If you need part or all the Bell bloatware, it is available on the playstore.
I updated my Bell IncS to the RUU listed on the HTCdev website and it is great. Superuser also works perfectly to give you root access.
