Help with FRF50 -> FRF91 - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had downloaded and flashed the rooted FRF50 from here awhile back and now I'm trying to do the jump to FRF91. I've tried a manual update but, although I get no errors, it's failed. Phone is unlocked and I have the amon-ra custom recovery image. How do I proceed?
Sorry if this is the wrong place to put this but I've been getting all my updates and info from this forum.

Best way to get to FRF85b from FRF72?

What's the best way for one to get to FRF85b from FRF72?
I have a Nexus One that has been rooted.
I had originally applied Paul's pre-rooted update to FRF50 link
Then I applied this to get to FRF72 link
I tried to get to FRF82 but I have no idea how to get there
I tried to apply this signed-passion-FRF83-from-FRF72.684bd56a.zip but it said signature failed
From my understanding, I need to go from FRF82 then FRF85b
EDIT:
nvm, it's listed here in android developement

You really should use search before posting...
The update. Zip for frf85b is released since yesterday

need N! back to stock with OTA updats. HELP!!

I have been searching for awhile now, and just can't seem to find out what I need. I have a rooted N1 that I was running Kang-O-Roma's Latest Froyo build and Radio on it, but now need to get it back to stock with OTA updates. I flashed a the stock image that I got from the developers section, but still no updates. when the phone downloads an update it just restarts in recovery. I thought I may need to downgrade the radio, but no luck. I baught an Evo and am selling my beloved N1, but the person who baught it wants it completely stock, and able to get updates. he doesn't mind it being rooted if this is possible. Please help.

reboot the phone into bootloader then use the passimg file to return back to stock once this is done it should reboot into 2.1 then leave it alone till u see the update available or use the code to force the update then reboot and it should pop up within a few hours...
The update pops up, It downloads it, it even says what the update includes, but then when it tries to install, it restarts back into recovery mode, and doesnt' install the update. Is the update on the phone somewhere? I still have the froyo radio on the phone, because I cannot find and original Radio update Zip. Adb won't work on my new computer.
Did you get the stock recovery back in there or still using a custom one?
I loaded the stock image found in the developers section under original shipping, but it didn't downgrade the radio. I followed all of the instructions, but still, the update won't install. I have been searching and searching, but still can't come up with a solution.

no problem hope this works!
Ok, this should be my last question on this subject. under about phone it now says:
Model Number-
Nexus One
Firmware version-
2.1 update 1
Baseband version-
32.26.00.24U_4.04.00.03_2
Kernel version-
2.6.29-01117-g4bc62c2
[email protected] #1
Build number-
EPE76
As I recall EPE76 was a leaked ROM
I tried using 22607-ERD79-update-nexusone-stock-signed.zip and renaming it passimg.zip , but that didn't work. am I OK with the EPE76 build or do I need to get the ERD79 build on there to be?
A: get updates, and
B: truly be stock.
thanks again. I had no problem when I was trying cooked roms and updating radios and stuff. go figure this would be the thing to get me stuck.

@OP
If you're still have problems, this thread has all the files you need in the first post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614850
I bought my Nexus One off another member here, and he was kind enough to flash back to the original ERD79 before he sent me the phone but he didn't flash the stock recovery.img. I got the update to Froyo almost immediately after I turned the phone on, but it would not install. After flashing the stock recovery.img the OTA installed just fine

I tried installing this one, and it said "The main version is older" and then asked if I want to restart.

[Q] Nexus one stuck on erd79

i got my nexus one shipped with ERD79 . the phone was upgraded to frf91 thanks to the OTA. i had used metamorph to change the power control widget to transparent.
This morning i received the frg83 update but it failed and it threw an error stating settings.apk has been changed.
i downgraded my N1 using the passimg.zip file . its now on erd79 but will not upgrade to frf91 . when i check in system updates it states my system is upto date.
How can i get froyo on my phone now?
Upgrade to FRF91 via PASSIMG.
i am currently downloading the Nexus One FRF91 system image from developer.htc.com . do i rename the file to passimg.zip?
Yes. In case you're not sure about something - in the Wiki there's "restore" guide.

Looks like the download didn't finish correctly.

[Q] Help with rooted N1 wont take OTA 2.2.1 update

Hey everyone,
I rooted my nexus one when it was 2.2, now im trying to update to 2.2.1. However the OTA update wasnt taking, it failed and the installation aborted everytime. I search forums and found one saying to factory reset my phone, which i did. Saved everything with titanium backup. Now im stuck with:
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Kernal version:2.6.29-01117-g4bc62c2 android-build apa26#1
Build nuumber: EPE76
One problem is i do not get an OTA update to upgrade to 2.2 or 2.2.1. Also i did a manual update with signed-passion-FRF50-from-ERE27.1e519a24.zip and it fails and installation aborts. How can i get back to at least 2.2, but preferably 2.2.1.
Also when trying to restore my apps from titanium backup, it tells me my phone is not rooted, but I still see the little "padlock" unlocked when i boot my phone.
Thanks, hope someone can help
John
What recovery are you using?
fastboot, then recovery, used a zip i downloaded from another forum that gave me build epe76. just renamed it to undate.zip and let the phone do the work.
What recovery are you using? Stock? Clockworkmod? Amon_RA?
i guess just stock, all i do is fastboot the phone and hit recovery
Have you tried ROM Manager?
yes but i am getting an error that my phone is not rooted. Although it is, the padlock is open when i boot the phone. If I root it again will i be able to install 2.2?

There you go.
Unlocking the phone is one thing. Rooting is another. You need to root it over again, but it should be easier this time since you do not need to unlock your bootloader.
ok i will try but before i do should i upgrade to 2.2 or 2.2.1 first then root it again? Because that was my problem originally, i rooted it when it was 2.2 and could not get do the OTA update to 2.2.1 to work the installation aborted with an error every time.
No, root the phone first. Then you can put whatever the hell ROM you want.
It's like putting your pants on first, then your shoes.
Yeah root first cuz most of the custom rom already jumps to 2.2.1
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Also, if you root first, you can make a full backup before doing anything else...

[Q] Issues upgrading kernal - DTJP5

G'day Guys,
This is actually my first time posting. I'll also point out that while I am quite technical minded & have been working in IT for a few years.. I haven't yet upgraded to a custom ROM - and as such I'm having issues
Basically, i've got a Froyo GT-I9000 with a build of DTJP5 and recovery console 3e
I've found Darky's mod to be pretty good and i'm wanting to upgrade to it, upon suggestion by the thread for v9.4? i installed Clockwork Mod & ran through the install for that, however now I'm at the part when I'm trying to apply the update.zip and i get the dreaded 3e "Verification Failed" error.
Could anyone help me out and possibly throw me in the right direction?. I'm lost..
To my knowledge, you will keep on getting the "Verification Failed" error. You need to root your phone (because its froyo, on eclair you could simply go and start using the update.zip for clockwork recovery).
Read this thread. Read the instructions, download the required file and get SU (or root) on your phone and then use the custom ROM you had in mind. I though suspect, you will need to flash your original firmware again. Or you could simply use any stock ROM you can lay your hands on.

Good luck mate.
Phone is already rooted using z4Root permanent.
Yea i've had a look at that article a few times, couldn't find a kernal version close enough to mine. Also when going through the ODIN method using the correct kernal from Z4, i just kept getting the error "Check files!"
