need N! back to stock with OTA updats. HELP!! - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

go root to 2.2 or 2.1.update 1 first then use it okay..

Now that you mention it I do remember seeing something about that, while I was searching for an answer to this dilemma. Thanks again, I'll let you know.

Yes, check out Lox 's thread in Android development. Or try eViLs or Leo's prepackaged ROMs.
take a look here. It's a pre-rooted, deodexed version with stock or black status bar.
You guys are the best! Thanks soooooo much!!!
This is the LOX instructions I followed :
http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?p=67177#post67177
Worked perfectly for me I was running FRF50 upgraded from Cyanogen 5.0.6.
I'm Not sure if it said to do this but I flashed the no-radio version then let it completely boot so everything is 'written' or whatever causes the first boot to take longer.
I saw I lost root, no big surprise because there was were root files posted as well.
Rebooted into RA Recovery and flashed the root file.
No Wipe when going from FRF50 to this ROM, all my programs still work just like they did before.
Thanks a lot guys

[Q] Question about firmware...

Alright, so I updated my phone when the first OTA update was released, and it installed successfully no problems. After this I got into rooting my phone so that I could get rid of the AT&T crapware, use launcher pro, and enable sideloading for apps. I thought that I would check for another update since rumors were swirling about 2.2, and to my surprise it detected a package to download. I was able to download it, however it wouldn't finish installing on the phone and said that it could not be installed. Thinking that this was due to my root, I used Odin to flash back to stock and retry the install, and it still didn't work. So, after that I reverted back to the root, and decided to go and check the firmware and baseband version What is confusing to me is that for "firmware version" it says that I have "2.1-update1", but my baseband version still says "1897UCJF6" instead of "JH7". Now when I try to install whatever supposed update that is available, it downloads and then gets stuck at 50% in the progress bar when trying to install. So I guess my question is, should I be worried about this? Is this the current version, and does it just say "JF6" because of my root? Also, will I need to unroot if I want to install the 2.2 update whenever it comes out?
I apologize for the novel, I'm just trying to be as informative about my situation as possible. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
JF6 is the stock firmware and JH7 was the ota update.
Sent from my Captivate
Alright thanks, but why is my phone still displaying "2.1-update1" if I still have the stock firmware? Is it because of the root that it is displaying JF6 instead of JH7?

JH7 was also considered 2.1-update1
there is not an official 2.2 yet
Okay well thanks, I think I'm about to just flash to a 2.2 ROM, I'm tired of waiting on samsung for 2.2

Nexus One Updating

Hi,
I have bought a new nexus one, it is unlocked from HTC and runs on 2.1, my question is how do i update it manually to 2.3.4?
I am new at this so if you explain clearly so i don't mess up.
Thanks inadvance
First you open your browser and go to google. Then you type in Nexus One manual update.
Welcome Masantula!
First of all, read the wikis and the FAQ guides available on XDA forums. There is a lot of information available that can help you get started.
Did you just want to update to stock 2.3.4 ROM? It would help if you could provide more information on your Nexus One.
Go to Settings>About Phone then post back with the Baseband version and, kernel version and build number details.
It would be great to know if you have a AMOLED or SLCD version of the Nexus One. The updating process is slightly different from my own experience. To find out, switch off your phone then restart it again by holding down the vol down button first then power on. You should see a page with three androids on skateboards, have a look then you should see details of MICROP. Is yours 0b15 (AMOLED) or 0c15 (SLCD)?
Can't he just type *#*#2432546#*#* ?
Read my signature, look there for "Unroot/restore" guide, PASSIMG method, using FRG83. Execute, and you'll be on 2.2.1 (if you're not already). From that point, just wait until you get the update OTA.

Hi Philip.
Go to the link below and follow the instructions under PASSIMG method, using FRG83. Once you do that than you will be on stock Froyo (2.2.1).
After this you can check your phone for a new OTA update, current one out is 2.3.4.
If you don't get the OTA update go to the link below to know how to manual update your phone to 2.3.3 and than 2.3.4. Start with 2.3.3 followed by 2.3.4
PASSIMG Method:

[Q] Little help

Wow I feel like a horse's ass for asking this but it's probably been a year since the last update I flashed, and I've googled and googled for info but I'm googled out. I also checked the dev section but I dont see what I'm looking for so forgive my stupid question: I'm getting the incessant 2.3.6 OTA notification so I need to update to 2.3.6, I'm on 2.3.4 I think it's a stock version. I tried flashing the 2.3.6 update zip that i downloaded, that didn't work and from what I think I remember that was a stupid thing to try anyway. I'm pretty sure I'm looking for a full 2.3.6 stock rom/build/zip, but I've had no luck in my search. Basically I just want the latest rooted full stock rom to flash. My bootloader is unlocked or I would honestly just unroot and install the OTA, I've no use for root anymore anyway. Can anyone throw me a bone? Thanks

or
if you want back to stock, flash this (in recovery or in HBOOT as PASSIMG.ZIP, whichever way you want):

Hi buddy.
First of all, I don't entirely understand what are you trying to do. What to you mean with "firmware update"? Do you want to flash a new ROM?

You may find all the information you need there. Even if you can't, don't worry, is just a minor update, it is not Kitkat.

Sadly no, my friend. Any reason in particular about why you want this specific update?
Let's hope somebody else in this forum can help you.
Are you running a stock recovery? Have you tried using Myth Tools to flash back to stock?
Its running stock rom from factory everything is factory right now
I kept getting the dead Android as well. We're you running a KK ROM on your phone before restoring to stock? I was running Validus and tried to use Myth Tools to flash a stock ATT 4.1.1 ROM which also failed to take the update. I then installed a 4.1.2 Bell stock ROM (my phone came from Bell) via Myth, let the phone boot, and then flashed a stock ATT ROM via Myth and it took the update.

I am on 4.1.1 from the factory. This is a referb phone from the factory like not even a week old yet. Boot loader isn't even unlocked. Its all stock and I'm getting dead android.
If you're getting the dead Android, it makes me believe that something may be wrong with the stock recovery. Some people were able to get the update to install using the latest Philz Touch recovery rather than stock recovery.
