Help get AT&T Nexus One back to stock EPE54B

A lot of info and file links to T-Mobile Nexus One, none/very little on AT&T Nexus One:
Background: AT&T Nexus One, rooted, RA Recovery, FRF72.
Would like to bring it back to STOCK AT&T Nexus One EPE54B
The normal process would be to use the passimg.zip file and go into bootloader to auto restore back to stock everything. Tried it with one I found, didn't work ("main versions is newer" error),
Tried with PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_1.09.1700.1_EPE54B_release_signed.zip renamed and got the same error.
Tried PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_1.01.1700.1_ERD79_release_signed.zip renamed same thing, the only one that worked was EPF30 (but that's EURO version, weird).
So, is there a passimg.zip SPECIFIC to the AT&T Nexus One?
Any other ideas?

Yeah I saw that post earlier, I've downloaded all those files already, which one did you use? PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_1.09.1700.1_EPE54B_release_signed.zip ?
I still get an error at bootloader "Main Version is older!" "Update Fail!"

Hmm, yes, that's the filename that I used. I was all over the place last night and can't swear 100% that is where I got my file from, but I'm 95% certain.
Mine was not rooted, just bootloader unlocked. not that I think it matters.
Originally I tried to flash the recovery.img from the above file, to see if I could use the 50>83. zip, but it was a no-go, so I reverted my recovery.img to Amon 1.7, went into Recovery, wiped back to factory, hboot'ed found PASSIMG.zip and installed, it was very easy.
I'm sorry I have no idea why yours failed. you might want to check the MD5 hash /shrug/

Ok I figured it out.
Use custom recovery to just flash this zip file found on modaco.com
"This is the stock image repacked to an update ZIP for installation via a custom recovery image. It is completely stock, secure and unrooted."

Yeah I don't know what's going on, I've tried a ton of passimg files, and it will NOT work, this was the only way I could even get EPE54B.

Im in the same boat. I have stock ROM but RA recovery. Cant install the official OTA without stock recovery. A lot of info on TMobile ROM, but very little for EPE54B for us ATT people. :-(

If you unlocked the bootloader to get the custom recovery, you shouldn't have a problem using the ERE54B PASSIMG, you're only prevented using an older ROM with the stock bootloader.

[Q] Dowgrade FRG83d to FRG83

I updated my N1 from FRG83 to FRG83d manually few days ago and wondering if I can downgrade to FRG83 or even FRF91? There is not much to it than I just like to get the firmware downloaded through OTA. Just curious!
Thanks in advance!

Back up your apps in Titanium, then flash one of the images from here: http://developer.htc.com/ and you are essentially downgraded!

I have a stock N1, but since 2.2 backs up all my apps and reinstalls, I am not worried much. But will I just be able to download the zip file rename as update.zip and install manually? Also, will I get all the Google services along with the zip file?
Thanks for the response.

Try the FRG33 passimg from shipped-roms.

Download it to the root of your sdcard, rename it to PASSIMG.zip, and install. It will flash all the partitions on your device back to stock. It's a stock image...

It didn't work! When I booted to recovery I saw it was loading PASSIMG.zip and it verified but after reboot, it still says FRG83D!

Strange. Which one did you use? Try this one: http://dl4.htc.com/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/signed-passion-img-FRG83_0923.zip
Maybe try renaming it as update.zip instead of PASSIMG.zip.
If that doesn't work, I'll give you another suggestion.

Yes, that's the one I used! And please don't get me wrong but I use this phone for my work and is important that I don't screw the phone. Is there a tested solution to downgrade? So I can follow steps without damaging the phone?

Check it's not a zip within a zip
Edit: I can give you a 100% tested (by me) downgrade solution. Unlock the bootloader, download FRF91 from http://developer.htc.com and use fastboot to flash system.img and boot.img

You will certainly not damage your phone by doing that, so don't worry. Rename it to update.zip and try again.

PASSIMG no longer seem to work on the 0.35 bootloader...

As he did a manual update, I've assumed he's still on 0.33

Looks like this is yet to be achieved. passimg.zip of FRG33 says main version is older and 'update failed!' error.
Any other leads guys? Mine is a replaced Nexus One and it has FRG83D on it. I want to downgrade and then root. Help much appreciated!

Why do you need to downgrade? Why not keep FRG83D and just root it??

I just replied on another thread. Hope copy pasting it won't bother the mod!
I have a Mac and I and I am at work. I thought an 'all online' version exists already! VISIONary seems to be a good solution for < FRG83D but not 83D. Any other ideas?

Z4root maybe?

Nexus One not on compatible phone list. This one guy had errors on N1 based on the replies. FRG83D is forcing me to consider the good old ADB route!

[ROM] Stock FroYo, based on WWE 3.15.405.3, rooted

There's not much to add. Stock FroYo, based on WWE 3.15.405.3, rooted. As many of you were asking for.
Changes:
added root permissions
removed radio image (if needed, can be downloaded from here)
nothing else

Alternatively you can download version with removed boot sounds:

People might shut up about it now. Lol
I can guarantee that people will now ask for one that doesn't include the radio.

Go ahead.. Kill 'em if they do..

Would be possible to remove radio update from de ROM? I'm saying it just to make the flashing process safer, and in case you already have an updated radio there's no need to re-update again.

please remove boot sound

AllWin you are the best! Thank you very much!

Do Nandroid backup first, so you can roll-back if needed.

it's always recommended to do a nandroid backup before flashing anything, but at the end it's your call

Yes, i would recommend to do nandroid backup first. If something goes wrong, you'll be able to restore your phone into previous state.

thanks guys i have only one last question is this rom based on the Vodafone rom or based on the unbranded rom that came out 3 days ago?

Well since I cant find any info about my problem anywhere:
How to install your rom file (unsigned zip based), if someone (like me) installed already the plain unrooted version of [ROM]RUU_Legend_Froyo_S_HTC_WWE_3.15.405.3_Radio_47.51. 35.17_7.13.35.05_release (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870345).
I tried downgrading back to 2.1, but here I always get an "Error [140]: Bootloader version error".
I tried ROM Manager with Visionary+ (first temproot, which works fine, then try to boot up the recovery rom), with no luck so far. The device starts to load the recovery rom and ends up with a red question mark above a symbolic legend device graphic. I think, it tells me, that it has found a not valid rom (the recovery rom itself is here the culprit?).
I tried r4-legend-root, only to see all times a offline device with ADB in the HTC stock recovery mode. The error message is "error: device offline", so r4-legend-root does not continue. Also tried those plug out-wait-plug in thingies, but still no luck with this.
So I am totally stuck. Could bite me in the a*se, since I had an rooted V2.1 running, and if I had seen that rom here, I would saved a lot of time.
Maybe U could provide a RUU*.exe signed version, or a signed ZIP, so I can flash it happily with inbuild stock legend tools?
Or is there some other kind of method to get that ROM on my legend?

[Q] Going back to stock

So i have a nexus one from google and i want dutch langauge on it because my english is not good. So i found a froyo vodafone passimg and flashed that but my nexus did not get the ota to gingerbread. Does it exist? If so where can i download a Voda Gingerbread?

Bumpy Bump

After using the revolutionary search engine called Google, I seem to have found a gingerbread ota that should do the trick.
Just rename it to passimg.zip and it should do the trick.

Hmm.. are you sure you did all the steps necessary?
1. Rename the downloaded zip file to "Passimg.zip"
2. Place it in the root of your sdcard. That is, in no subfolder.
3. Reboot into the bootloader and it will scan for files named "passimg.zip"
4. When found, it will ask you to update or not.

Hmm.. weird. I have no idea, then.
---------- Post added at 06:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------
After reading up a bit and doing some more googling, I seem to have found a solution as to why it wouldn't work. It seems that file you renamed as passimg.zip was actually an update zip and no passimg zip. A bit confusing at first, but this WILL (read: should) work.
Download THIS and rename passimg.zip and place in the root of your sdcard (this will revert to android 2.3.4)
Now download THIS and rename update.zip and move to the root of your sdcard
Now reboot into the bootloader, choose to apply the passimg and then enter the recovery (this will be a stock recovery solution) and flash update.zip
ALL data is flashed, the hboot is returned to stock, radio is returned to stock but the bootloader will stay unlocked if you unlocked it using the fastboot oem unlock code before.
EDIT: I don't know if this is vodafone. I just found a "generic" gingerbread, but it should have the language you prefer.

Phone keeps rebooting

Hi,
I'm hoping someone here can give me some advice please.
I bought my son a new carrier unlocked HTC Sensation XL. It came with Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread). For the first week it worked perfectly. A message popped up saying there was an update and did he want to install it. He left it on all night with Wi-Fi enabled. Next morning it said update successfully completed and to restart the phone (which he did).
The first most obvious thing he noticed was the interface had changed. I checked the settings and found it had updated to ICS 4.0.3. This is when the problems started. The phone began to restart over and over.
In desperation we tried removing the battery and doing a factory reset. It made no difference. Once the phone was on for about 20 seconds it would restart and not stop until we turned off the phone or the battery went dead.
We even tried the hard reset as suggested by HTC support but no change.
Any suggestions as to how we might fix this?
Is there any way we can get the phone to reset back to 2.3.5 or do we have to send it back to where we bought it from?
cheers

You can download suitable gb and ics roo and flash first back to gb and then to ics:

Would require rooting the phone and installing recovery? The phone is still under warranty but as it was bought online I was hoping not to have to send it back. At the moment it is still stock and I'd prefer not to to do anything that will void warranty.

Well first of all you need to know what your cid is and download right ruu/stock rom.
Then just plug your phone in to computer when fully rebooted(usb-debug on) and run downloaded gingerbread exe.

If you have debugging enabled just get adb for your computer, open command line, cd to the directory of adb the execute 'abd getvar cid' and get your cid, then go online and find the ruu that suits your cid and phone, the run it on windows and just follow the prompts!
And done!
