I am selling my Dream to get a hero, but the buyer wanted the phone back to factory defaults and unrooted. So I followed a guide from this site to restore the phone, but now I get an error that installation aborted when I try to update to 1.6. Can someone point me to a trouble shooting direction?
where exactly on the unroot process are you?
Also are you installing the official 1.6 update or a modified one?
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.
Im running frf83 on my rooted nexus one, i have found a few versions of frf85b and frf91, flashing them comes up successful but when i restart, settings says im still at frf83.
Ive heard that you can now unlock without affecting the bootlocker, so am i getting the wrong files? If so can anyone point me in the right direction? (im not an advanced user but im not too bad)
Please help thanks
PS i tried to post links of the files i have but wasnt allowed. they were both from htcpedia. com.
I'm also looking for a usable+deodexed FRF83-FRF91 update.zip.
This is the official download but I cant apply it because of the custom recovery, and all the files have a ".p" suffix (patch files)
http://android.clients.google.com/packages/passion/signed-passion-FRF91-from-FRF83.4bf74f06.zip
If nobody responds I will go back to the stock recovery and try again.
I'm averaging 3 reboots/hangs a day on FRF83...
i have the same issue... i cant update from frf83 that is installed. i am getting OTA updates and nitifications but adter reboot its frf83 again, i too have a custom revovery and i dont know how to go back to stock
Any luck with solving this?
Have you tried this perhaps?

I simply backed up and did a clean kang-o-rama install
I recently bought a nexus one from vodafone, which came with vodafone's version of froyo FRF91 pre-installed. I wanted to get future OTA updates direct from google so I unlocked the bootloader, and downgraded to ERD79 using this guide:
(can't post links, but if you copy 'how to upgrade your nexus one today' into google, it's the first result - this is the guide i followed)
This all worked fine and i'm now on ERD79, but I cannot upgrade any further than ERD79. When I search for OTA updates using the "check in" command, it finds none and still says my system is up to date.
I also cannot update from the sd card using the update.zip method, as I get the following error:
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
I have done this before on another vodafone nexus one using exactly the same method and it worked fine. On the first phone, after downgrading to ERD79, the froyo OTA update began immediately. The only difference was that in that case, the phone did not have froyo to begin with, this time vodafones version of froyo was already installed.
If anybody has any clue as to why the phone will not download an OTA update, I'd be really really grateful if you could let me know!
Thanks
If you unlocked your bootloader - why wouldn't you just flash a custom ROM?

I unlocked it in order to get install stock froyo, so I would immediate future updates from google, rather than having to wait for vodafone to release their own version.
Why don't you instal Geo411m's rom? It's almost stock...(I really like it)
And as soon as the new OTA update is available you will find it here (and most likely it will be rooted asap)
What file did you use when you renamed to update.zip? From what i did. I downgraded to EPE76 then downloaded signed FRF85B. from EPE76 it said my system was up to date. but when i manually updated to FRF85B and checked the system updates it auto downloaded FRF91.
I used "PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_1.01.1700.1_ERD79_release_signed.zip" with fast boot to get ERD79 and then attempted to use "signed-passion-ERE27-from-ERD79.a487b405.zip" on the sd card to update. Then i get the error.
Appreciate the help guys,
Have you tried this?

Second post. is the PASSIMG.zip. place in sdcard and boot into bootloader.
This takes you to EPE76.
then download FRF85B
http://www.mediafire.com/?j5zejudgngm
rename to update.zip. boot into stock recovery (triangle with android) then hold power and hit volume up, select update.zip
Ok I tried that and I got an error 'main version is older'.
I am downloading "PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_1.11.1700.1_EPE76_release_signed.zip" now to try and do the same with that, or is that the same file that was called PASSIMG.zip in the thread you linked?
Have you looked into this thread?
http://android.modaco.com/content/g...-online-kitchen-optional-root-insecure-himem/
Yes i have that thread bookmarked but it's not helping me much right now unfortunately
I managed to get onto EPE76 by flashing the boot, recovery and system .img files using fastboot. But when i try to update to frf85b with the sdcard method i get the same error:
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Ok, I tried updating with the sd card method using RA custom recovery - it gives the error:
E: No signature (575files)
E: Verification failed
Installation aborted
Solved this now. In case anyone else has had this problem, it is related to the vodafone froyo versions having HBOOT 0.35.0017. Follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726258 to change that and go back to a version that allows updating
I rooted my wife's Hero with the z4 method, I couldn't get unrEVOked to work for us, and removed some bloat with Titanium Backup.
I only did it out of my own curiosity, no particular need. She's running 2.31.651.7 and now an OTA update for 2.32.651.2 is being pushed out. She's a "I just want my phone to work" type, so I'd like to get her this OTA installed for her peace of mind.
I restored the uninstalled apps and "unrooted" in z4, but when I tell the auto-updater to go ahead with the OTA it just dies 1/4 of the way into the install and pops the exclamation point graphic.
Any thoughts? Any other Hero owners have success with a (formerly) rooted 2.31.651.7 to 2.32.651.2 upgrade?
(I searched around, no one seemed to have any threads indicating they got this to work... only ones saying they were able to root 2.32.651.2)
You could install Htc sync on your comp. then d/l the .7 ruu then try to update from the phone.

If you have a custom recovery on it you can flash NFX's .2 update rom

The only downloads available at htc.com are the latest version of HTC Sync and the 2.27.x.x Eclair release. The Eclair release would completely wipe and reset the device, which is a huge pain in the butt.
Any other thoughts?
Anyone know how to retrieve the log file from the update process? Maybe I can debug what is failing.
Skylar you have to install the .7 ruu (which takes about 10 mins.) Then once the .7 ruu is installed and phone is booted back up go to system updates and update ota. That should do it ,I agree with kyoko I would have flashed nfinite's .2 rom same thing as the .2 update from sprint

I think you're confused.
I'm on .7
I can't update to .2 (it fails)
There is no downloadable RUU .2 or .7 available from HTC
HTC does have a published file from the original Eclair rollout to the Hero... but it wipes EVERYTHING off the device, including apps and data.
I don't want to start over
