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 :

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
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.

First of all I would post this in Q/A section. Second of all you need to use ODIN to get back to 2.1 stock before you flash cognition. Although I hope you know Cognition is NOT gingerbread it is froyo.
System version does not make any difference to flashing ROMs

You tried the one click root? It should be a simple process of downloading the correct update.zip and then flashing it through the recovery menu. Takes like 30 seconds. I don't think it matters what version of android you are on to root...

Hi,
We had discussed about a rooting method followed by unlocking method on the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139382
Just wanted to confirm whether the same method would work on android 2.1 as well as 2.2?
Cheers !
I haven't had a need to unlock my phone, so I don't have iniput on that but I have rooted both Stock Eclair and Stock Froyo successfully with SuperOneCLick 1.6.5. It seems to work best with my phone. One of later versions didn't work when I tried it with stock Froyo.
Another issue you'll get with Froyo when flashing is getting around the 3e recovery. There's a thread on here about that too.
Please dont start a new thread about the same thing you already posted in another.

I have tried upgrading using the method posted here but I keep getting an error: "FOTA Name mismatch". (I used method one).
Also, I was unable to get the stock 2.2 rooted using the super one click method, in order to install the CWM and try the method 2.
I have been working on these for hours and I am at my wits ends.
Here, is my question: Is there an NVFlash method that will get me to a rooted stock honeycomb?
Thanks for your help.
P.S: I have been using Steve's HoneyStreak R7 but the battery life has been terrible. I downgraded to stock 2.2 to get the official HoneyComb upgrade but have not been successful.
to answer your last question, no. To root froyo on ds7 use gingerbreak.

Method one works, if you get the FOTA mismatch then you flashed the incorrect recovery. I used method one. BUT there is a problem, rooting stock Honeycomb I get some random reboots, if I stay stock unrooted it runs fine
Gingerbreak worked for me after flashing back to 2.2 with NVFlash.
