Is there a procedure to root a n1 with stock frf91 with unlocked bootloader and original recovery?
Tell me if this is good...
Install a recovery and then install frf91 already rooted rom
Can i root my froyo 2.2 keep the stock rom and receive OTAs? I basically want to have root without any modded rom's and be able to get OTA updates.
as long as you have the stock recovery you're ok for OTA
OTA updates will remove root, so you'll have to re-root.
You need stock recovery to apply OTA's and custom recovery to root.
Is your bootloader unlocked?

I searched forum for that solution, but without results.
It would be nice to have tutorial for this.

No my bootloader is locked
So then you'll be able to use an OTA but you'll lose root. With a locked bootloader that would be bad. Best to not use OTAs and instead rely on pre-rooted updates posted here. Of course you may need a custom recovery for that.

In regards to stock recovery, where can i get a copy of it. I wanted to return to stock recovery to get the OTA so i don't have to perform manual updates. I currently have Amon's recovery.

The "security fixes" in FRF91 include patching the exploit used to gain root with the bootloader locked.
So, if you revert to stock recovery and then install the FRF91 OTA - you will not be able to regain root unless you go back to a previous passimg, update to FRF85B and then install a repacked, pre-rooted FRF91 through custom recovery.
Basically, you can't have root on a fully stock FRF91 OTA
So to get root we now need to void our warranty? That's annoying.
No
From FRF91 you need to PASSIMG back to an earlier build, then update to 85B. The root with locked bootloader method works from there.
Then, as stated above, you can use a re-packed update to FRF91 to keep root. You just can't use the OTA to FRF91 and keep root.

Can I meet up and get you to do this, willing to pay. Have a rooted running frf50, tried everything to het this loaded, no luck?
I have a Google direct Nexus One, running FRF91 OTA and I'm wondering if I should root it. What advantages does rooting my device bring me? Is there an easy way of rooting without unlocking the bootloader? Can I install a custom theme without rooting? Can I keep the stock FRF91 rom and still maintain root and OTA downloads?
I recently rooted my phone using the unrevoked forever 3.22..i want to unroot it plz help..with step...also guide me how to install android 2.2
Flash a RUU from shipped ROM's:

Guide to that is here:

You can get an Eclair ROM from Shipped ROM's and then get an OTA (Over The Air) update, else, you can directly flash the official 2.2 ROM from here:

Remember a few things:
* If you install the 'Safe Version', you can root again later if you want
* If you follow the previous guide and get an OTA 2.2 update, you will lose your ability to root, and will be unable to do so till Unrevoked is updated.
On my Transformer tablet, I can root, and use Voodoo OTA rootkeeper to update via OTA and maintain root on the stock firmware + root.
Is this possible with the HTC One? From the FAQ, it appears as if I'll have to manually flash for every OTA if I want root.
Thanks!
