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.

What one click are you referring to? If you are talking about odin one click, the only thing you should be using that for is going back to stock before flashing a rom. If a rom is flashable through clockwork than you would just put it on your internal sd card and follow the instructions for flashing through Rom Manager. If it is a rom that is supposed to be flashed with odin you would have to open up the zip file you downloaded and enter the appropriate files into odin.

WELL **** I flashed a rom now im stuck on congnition rom and i cant flash another one can u help
You need to be more descriptive if you want people to figure out a solution to your specific problem. Your post amounts to "I flashed a rom, I'm having problems, vague reference to rom manager, help guys".
Here's what we need:
1. What version of Android are you trying to flash?
2. What version are you currently running?
3. What modifications have you done?
4. What is the specific error you are getting?
5. What is the EXACT process you are using to try to flash the new rom?
READ READ READ READ READ, THEN READ SOME MORE!
you obviously have not read enough. there are 2 versions of ODIN we use for our phones:
One click ODIN which is simply a prepackaged version of the regular ODIN configured with the appropriate files that ODIN needs to flash our phones with it....they are packaged up by a developer named DesignGears. not every rom is going to have a one click odin....
there is also regular ODIN which requires you to have the appropriate files associated with your rom (kernel, pit file, modem, csc file, and rom), sometimes devs will package as much of that as possible into one or 2 files to flash in ODIN
you need to spend some time learning how to use these or just use the one click and go back to stock, then leave your phone alone. seriously, freaking out on a forum is not the right way to go about getting help for your phone.
calm down and give up the info that modest_mandroid has requested. none of us magically know what the heck you are talking about when you spout out random things like help, i flashed something and now i cant do anything else
Hi Guys
New here so please be gentle...
I have a stock Telstra Samsung i9000T with Eclair 2.1 update 1 firmware and I'm wanting to flash to a new ROM from Doc's Kitchen. I currently have confirmed recovery and download (2e) but was told I need to gain 3e recovery and download before flashing to my new ROM. I have rooted the phone and backed up everything including /efs folder. My question is this: Can I use the latest SpeedMod Froyo K13B kernel to gain 3e recovery and download or is it exclusively for Froyo ROMs only - not my Eclair?
Matthew
do you think you could do me a favour first please mate?
i am in desperate need of the telstra ROM, could you enter recovery and make a backup of your ROM then upload it please
also, i dont think you can flash roms with 3e, you need 2e, you can use ODIN to flash speedmod kernal to get a really good one
thanks!
Certainly mate, I'll be sure to do that for you before I flash it this evening. This what I was told to do to get my new ROM on the phone:
1. z4root
2. mybackup root -> backup stuff
3. find sgs tools over at xda; it has a script in it to backup /efs (IMEI) for you
4. copy everything from /sdcard to PC (this will include the mybackup files and the efs backup created by sgs tools)
5. copy new rom .zip to sdcard
6. phone fully charged
7. install speedmod kernel as per http://touristinparadise.blogspot.com/2010/11/samsung-galaxy-s-how-to-install.html; see also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756 if you want more info or alternative downloads
8. sim & internal sd out if you are being paranoid
9. reboot into recovery; apply zip from sdcard, select zip -> select your cooked rom
10. first boot will take about 5 minutes
I'm currently at no. 6 in readiness for speedmod kernel
that would be good if you could do that, you would save my ass lol, i need it for warranty, telstra are cracking the ****s!
here is what i did.
if your 2.1.
root using z4root, download rom manager, install recovery mode, then apply the ROM you wish ( ps, after you have updated your stuff ofcourse )
i would be very thankful if you would get that telstra ROM for me, will greatfully buy you a beer!
Sure thing mate and thanks for the heads-up I'll send you a PM once I've gotten the 2.1 done.
thanks mate, appreciate it heaps!.
will be waiting patiently, then i can get my damn phone fixed, stupid internal memory shat itself

OK few pointers..
if all goes tits up, don't worry try these
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11470507&postcount=79
This is also from the same thread :-
2e was the first type of recovery screen and 3e is its replacement on a firmware upgrade to Froyo but it has limitations so you can't just flash update.zip in it and get it to work like on 2e. Though ClockworkMOD does work and once your in that you can do anything.
And maybe use the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=934409 to get a quicker answer, worked for me an others
Thank you so much guys I really appreciate the assistance
@ aussiesausage: I still haven't forgotten you mate, just getting the rugrats off to bed.
Edit: Links to Stock Telstra FW and CSC sent via PM
heh thankyou so very much dude!
phone is still stuffed, but now telstra will stop *****in at me

Any chance you could pass this onto me mate? I'm in a similar situation, i9000T speaker has died and of course Telstra aren't going to like repairing it without the original rom.
-SlimLegs
It would be much appreciated if you could also send me the link as well. I didnt make a back-up before i flashed my first ROM. Had a few scares flashing, so would like to keep a copy for an emergency
Hey PV5150, I was wondering if you would please be kind enough to also post a copy of your stock 2.1. I've been searching, and can't get my hands on a clean version.
any chance one of you guys could send me the file and i'll link it for all of us other poor buggers on telstra, has taken me ages to find someone who has it.
Yes please.
sorry to bring old hread up but has anyone got the links
i have been searching for ages
I would appreciate it if you could send me the link.
In the same situation had to buy another galaxy s telstra refused to repair because wasnt there ROM, i also need this 2.1 update ROM. Same issue as one of the other guys, internal memory card is bust. Love the phone couldnt find this rom anywhere so gave up and bought another phone lol
I just updated my phone using keis to the offical 2.2 froyo release. And like a dumb*** when i went to install Cognition 4.2.2 i hit wipe internal system data. Is there anyway to get this data back?? Thanks for any help! All i want to do is install cogntion 4.2.2 now...but i cant do it unless i do it manually which i have no idea how to do that, just clockwork is all i ever used.
GO TO STOCK FIRST unless the rom doesn't require that (check instructions)
root your phone, I usually use the one-click program u can find in the original sticky in this forum, DL rom manager. Flash CWRecovery, DL rom you want. Reboot into recovery install from sdcard, choose right file, bam you're done.
FYI people usually don't like when u post questions in developement area.

Hi everyone, I am brand new sgs owner and first time smart phone user and I upgraded my phones firmware on kies to 2.3.3 / baseband xxjvo / build number gingerbread.xwjvh
I been talking to a few people that have got 2.3.4 and cyanogen mod 7. And I really want to get one of them because my battery life is pathetic on 2.3.3
I have an idea how to do it (I have watched alot of tutorials) but what is confusing me is all the different downloads like cwm and speed mod, kernals, ROMS. All these terms are driving me mad as I dont know if I need to flash this stuff first to upgrade the firmware.
I have been told I may or may not need to root my phone to make it all work because of the current firmware xxjvo 2.3.3?? So what do i do?
Can I just flash a new firmware on via odin? or do i need to flash diff kernals or clockwork mod or speed mod what ever they are to make it work properly.
Im sure its all easy enough once its understood but I cant find basic explanations for all these terms.
I really dont want to mess up my phone but i know I can get this done once i know how.
So could someone that knows please tell me once off, what do I have to do to upgrade from gingerbread 2.3.3 xxjvo to something better like cm7 or 2.3.4.
Do I need to root first? install CWM or speed mod or whatever.
Also what is CWM and speed mod. are the roots?
Sorry for not knowing anything as i said its my first smart phone and I want to get to know how to use it to its full extent
Will greatly appreciate any advice/ help given.
If some ones going to help me could they post the links to the downloads that i will need.
Thanks very much
1.its simple root ur fone first via odin and then flash the voodoo/fugumod lagfix(incase ur experience any lag)
2.Download Rom Mgr premium and download (cyanogen mod7 ,nightlies or watever)

And what is the download for the correct root I have seen a thread by chainfire with hundreds of root downloads but I dont know what one to use.

Anybody? ? Someone must be able to help me
Here are some posts I think will help u find some answers,

Recovery mode is HOME BUTTON+ VOL UP+POWER BUTTON
1 Android ROM and rooting dictionary: all the terms explained
2 A link explaining how to flash a custom Rom via Odin and their downloads.
3 Deodexed Stock roms
Hope this helps. By the way all these are custom rom lists and not samsung stock firmware.

Thank you for the reply. Is cm7 a custom Tom?
How safe is it to use a custom rom instead of a Samsung rom.
Can some one tell me is there a particular order I need to follow to upgrade my phones firmware.
Like root then something else followed by the firmware.
Could I upgrade from xxjvo without rooting?
Again sorry all the questions I feel like a dumbass.
Thanks
Double post
Again sorry for being persistent but could someone give be a step by step quire to upgrading my current firmware xxjvo 2.3.3 to something better for battery and better radio signal.
Must the phone be rooted first? Must I install anything else before or after the new firmware
Thanks
Hi, check out samfirmware.com to download stock 2.3.4
I'm on the newest jvr, and my battery is good.
It's also flash manuals there for how to use odin.
thats the safest!
If you want root permission, you can flash cfroot kernel after the rom.
Edit: i'm on the oldest 2.3.4 jvr, looks like it came a new relese today.

Is a specific ROM needed to run a different firmwares? or vice verse?
If I flashed 2.3.4 does that mean I have a new ROM or new firmware or both?
thanks
Pls do refer my previous post for upgrading to 2.3.4 GB roms (2)
2.3.4 roms are way better for battery. There are some light weight roms with excellent battery life eg SURFACE,Matrux rom, Juwe's Smart Edition(My Pick) etc
You dont need to be rooted to flash a custom rom via ODIN.
CM7 is a custom rom and I would recommend it only if you know what u r doing. Its not very advisable for a noob (imho).
There is insanity cm7 034 with gb boot loaders [ROM] insanity CM 034 [16.08.2011] - Multi DPI But its in heavy dev stage. Pls go through their thread before flashing it.
Here is the EZBOOt link
Install or upgrade at your own risk.
