I put FRF72 on my phone last week buy downloading the file renaming it update.zip, putting the file on my micro SD. I forget the rest of the instructions but my question is will I still get the OTA update for the final build of FROYO FRF83? And If not how can I get the Final build and install it having FRF72 currently on my Nexus One?
What about the search function?

This is just quiet all the noise in these forums about updating and how some people have been able to update from FRF72 with no problem.. I downloaded the Leak FRF50 -> FRF83 update and tried it out my self, The rest of what happened can be explained in this video i just scrapped up:
I was able to update from FRF72 to FRF83 without any problems. Was using Paul's FRF72 rooted.

oh goodies!! Thank you! *flashes... goes blind*
no problemo!
I'm currently trying to get a completely clean orginal Froyo install on my phone. I tried to search here, but what I found doesn't fix my problems.
My Nexus One was on ERE27 when I got it (bought used). I unlocked and rooted it, flashed Amun's recovery 1.5.3 (later 1.7.0) and after trying Cyanogen 5.0.6 and installing the EPE54B radio I finally went to Enomther 1.8.1 and later 1.9.2.
Now I'm trying to get a completely stock Froyo on my phone.
I flashed an ERD79 stock image using the PASSIMG.zip method, figuring I'd then get the OTA update to FRF85B, maybe with an intermediary step via ERE27.
When I dial *#*#checkin#*#*, it just says "checkin succeeded", though, and doesn't provide an update.
Unfortunately, my original nandroid backup was lost in an sd-card screwup, so I can't go back to my original ERE27 system, either.
So I tried to update to ERE27 using the stock recovery and the update.zip from ERD79 to ERE27, but I only get the <!> sign and a green android, nothing like "apply update.zip" to choose. (I never used stock recovery, so I don't know how this is actually supposed to look like.)
I could do this using the custom recovery again, but with that I can't flash the original Froyo update. I couldn't find a stock recovery image for ERE27 anywhere, but the update ERD79->ERE27 contains stuff for the recovery partition, and I don't know how to get that updated correctly.
Any hints/links?
What puzzles me most is why I don't get OTA updates on stock ERD79. Any ideas on that?
Stock ERD79 stopped giving updates a couple of weeks before Froyo started.
Head over to Developers section, download stock FRF85B build for flashing on non-stock recoveries, from Lox's thread. Flash it and you're set.
Ah, ok, so that's why I don't get updates. Thanks.
Looking for a definitive answer on FRF85B to FRF91, carrying Root!
i am on FRF85B (rooted)
I read this instructions,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7075094&postcount=379
But as I am new to these things, how do i do the following:
"*Installed the FRF91 package from ......
*Without rebooting, installed the root package"
How do I install the FRF91 package? I am AmonRa recovery it wont allow me to install it.
Where ya from?
What i did was installing stock 2.1 from HERE and then just let it update naturally OTA update itself to 2.2. After that just apply root from HERE Just fastboot Amon-Ra again.
Anyways, Lox update didn't work for me either.
The top option requires stock recovery, not Amon-Ra.
At the time it was released, european Nexuses couldn't load several updates that popped up. Don't know if Lox updated the link'
If i was you i would just flash Geo411m's ROM, pretty much stock with ChrometoPhone thrown in. If you don't need it just remove it with adb.
To me the batterylife was a bit better with that and best of all, it has black status bar.

Hi all,
I have rooted n1 with FRF50 and spent this day trying to update it to FRF91.
First, the normal update doesn't work (because I have modified recovery mode probably, not sure) returning some errors with signatures.
So I tried to find a rooted update from FRF50 to FRF91. First I found FRF50 to FRF83 which worked well, but could not find any update from FRF83 to FRF91 (only FRF85B to FRF91, but no FRF83 to FRF85B).
Then, I found such update but it made my phone not work (ddms reported problems with a2sd and then some exception in sh).
I reverted it now to FRF50 and applied FRF50-FRF91 that I found. This update worked, but my Build Number according to Settings is still FRF50 so it probably did not apply.
*) the link where I found FRF50-FRF91 - http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-android-2-2-froyo-frf91-on-nexus-one/
Any help with direct or indirect updates between FRF50 and FRF91 on rooted phone? (I can get it to FRF83, but not beyond). Thanks
Just looking through the first page would answer you.

emm.. the thread you linked just points at another thread in General section that is supposed to list "all available update.zip" - can't find such thread there, but the one I did find lists updates till FRF83 (and that's what I described above).
What I'm asking for here is the update from FRF50 to FRF91 and I cannot find one.
I guess I should repeat word by word, and this time in caps:
YOU HAVE CUSTOM RECOVERY, NO GOOGLE UPDATE WILL WORK ON IT, YOU NEED CUSTOM UPDATE FOR CUSTOM RECOVERY, OR YOU NEED TO FLASH STOCK RECOVERY BACK.
And I guess the following thread was too hard to find, only on 4th page of General forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712983
The rest of instructions are in the first linked thread, excuse me for not copy-pasting them.
Laziness is a sin
Well, you did not have to help me with the part on why I cannot use the stock update
I just needed help with rooted FRF50 -> FRF91 and the link you gave (the Update.zip to flash with custom recovery) works great!
Thanks for help and sorry for upsetting you all
I just got a used N1 and am using it on TMO as an upgrade from a MyTouch 3G. It was sold as being fully stock (no root, no unlocked bootloader, but I don't know how to verify that), and it is the holiday model (with the QR code on the back)
When I booted it up, it came to the main launcher (it didn't take me through the setup wizard). It looks like the last user did a full wipe (maybe not, because I thoguht that would make the setup wizard popup if they did). It was running 2.2.1 (I think) and had an update for 2.2.2 immediately ready to install. So, I let it install the update, which went smoothly and it's now running 2.2.2, with baseband 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.12_7 and kernel 2.6.32.9-27240-gbca5320android-build apa26 #1.
I have been patiently waiting for my gingerbread update, and it has not arrived. I figured since 2.3.4 was rolling out, they stopped 2.3.3 updates and that was why I didn't get it. Now that 2.3.4 has rolled out, I still haven't got any updates, even after doing a checkin.
Does anyone have any ideas why I am being forgotten, and how I can go about updating my phone? I will not root or unlock the bootloader - I'm keeping this thing 100% stock and not willing to take any risks with it.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
Update don't get push to everyone at the same time. Be patient
OK, thanks. So it might be normal that I haven't gotten 2.2.3, let alone 2.3.3 yet? From what I've been seeing in other threads, the OTA update being pushed out now is from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4, so that wouldn't work directly from 2.2.2
You can always do a manual update and not have to wait for the OTA. Just download the corresponding files and rename it to "update.zip" and place on your SD card. Boot into recovery and apply update.zip. You remain 100% stock, but no wait.
And no, you need to go to 2.2 before going to 2.3.3 before going to 2.3.4. The OTA's are generally incremental updates.
