how do i get my nexus one back to stock absolutely every like out of the box stock i ahve the T-Mo version
Download:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Pas...le_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_MFG_Shipment_ROM.zip
Extract it, rename the extracted file passimg.zip and copy to the root of the SD card.
Also download:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Pas...RG83 OTA update, possibly from FRF91 too).zip
Rename it to update.zip and copy it to the root of yout SD card.
Power off the phone, hold Vol- and power on. It will boot to the bootloader, detect the passimg file and ask if you wish to install.
After it's done (I think it'll reboot itself, if not, select recovery), power off and power on with Vol- held again. This time dont install the passimg.zip, and choose recovery.
At the Android & warning triangle, hold the power button and press Vol+
Choose install update.
Voilà, a completely up to date, stock phone.
thank you very much for your help!! i was searching through the forums and there was like 20 million ways to do it non specific and i found myself running in circles
Have I bricked my phone???
I followed the instructions above (completely) and now, I do not seem to have a recovery screen...
The phone boots up but because I get FC constantly, I tried to redo these instructions and cannot get a recovery screen. I get the bootloader which re-installs the Passimg.zip, then nothing but an exclamation mark when I try and get recovery.
I did a data wipe B4 as well as a davlik wipe.
Am I done??
Previously CM6.1.0
RA 2.0

Hi Rusty
Would this work with a phone on ERE36B, kernel 2.6.33 hi-apk?
I have updated my phone which was on Vodafone and now I am FRG83D, but my brothers N1 has the ERE36B version, so just wandering if the steps you outlined above will work on his phone.
Cheers
Yes it will, he can be off the Voda build by copying the above.
Hi Rusty
So is the ERE36B, kernel 2.6.33 hi-apk a Voda build?
I didn't think it was but I know nothing. So the steps will work even on the ERE36B build?
Cheers
Oh yeah, it's not a Voda build, that's EPF30 I was thinking of.
It will still work though. Hell, to be honest, there is an update .zip from ERE36B => FRF91, so that would be less hassle.
sorry for noob question.
Will this re-lock my nexus one (return an unlocked bootloader to default) ? I'm about to send my N1 to HTC for repairs/replacement (my camera is not focusing on distant objects, works on close-ups only) and unlocking voids the warranty

NO. There is no way to relock the bootloader, once it has been unlocked.

So there's no reason to revert even to stock rom, right? Warranty is void, period.
Any advice on this matter? Maybe someone had experience dealing with HTC and can share some thought?

I have sent 2 phones into HTC with unlocked bootloader. I have not had any problems getting a replacement phone. Just give it a try.
I did return them to stock. Stock rom, stock recovery.
Edit: I tried it and it worked! So no need to answer but thanks anyway
Hi,
I wonder if this will also work for my phone?
Where am I at the moment? I have a Nexus One SLCD (Vodafone Europe) with AmonRa 1.8.0.1 Recovery and FRG83 installed. Bootloader is locked. No root. Now I get the update notification for FRG83D but can't install it. The N1 reboots and stops with a verification error. Now I think that I can't install FRG83D because of the AmonRa recovery.
As I don't have the need to install Custom ROMs (tried CM 6.0 but didn't like it so went forward to FRG83 Stock ROM) and still have no need for root I just want an N1 that just works with OTA from Google => absolute Stock (recovery and ROM) without waiting for Vodafone
So I wonder if that method descriped in this thread will bring me to my goal of a stock recovery and stock ROM on my N1 SLCD. Does FRG33 work with SLCD? I had a "broken"/dark display in recovery and ROM because of AMOLED/SLCD once and would like to not have that problem again

Hi Rusty
With regards to update .zip from ERE36B => FRF91, when I go to this link from another thread, I get the 404 Not Found page. The link I am using is:
android.clients.google.com/packages/passion/signed-passion-ota-43546.cc653ee4.zip
Any other links I can try to get the update.zip ERE36B => FRF91?
Cheers

You can grab the update at this link: http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Pas...signed-passion-FRG83D-from-FRG83.ecb21b75.zip
Place it to your sdcard root and boot into RA recovery, where you would flash from zip
Never mind. I have found the link for the download.

Thank you for the quick answer...Me bad
It's All good...I put this stock ROM on my phone with update to FRG83D...installed RA 2.00 to make a nandroid of it, then restored my lovely CM 6.1 back. When gingerbread comes out, I'll just restore the stock ROM and install update (until Cyanogen comes out with a ROM)
Thanks again
Well, I have come across a problem. My brothers N1 has an unlocked bootloader. The N1 is running ERE36B, so the passimg file is not working.
Does the N1 have to be unrooted so we can get the FRF91 build on the phone?
Sorry if it's a noob question and all, but any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Unlocked bootload makes no difference.
However, there is another way, extract the .img files from the passimg.zip and use fastboot to flash the system.img and boot.img.
Hey guys, I just bought a Nexus One off of craigslist. The guy that I bought it from has CyanogenMod-6.0.0-N1 on it right now. Im not really experienced with flashing custom roms and rooting or any of that stuff. I put Froyo on my Captivate when I had and thats it. What I would like to do is to get my Nexus One back on stock Froyo so I can start with a clean slate. Im not sure of everything that the previous owner did to the phone and Ive been having a couple of issues with it, so I just want to start over so I know exactly what is on the phone. So what I need to know is how I can do this.
-Where can I find a stock Froyo file?
-How do I put it on my Nexus One? Do I have to erase the CyanogenMod first?
-Any other hints or good roms that you guys would suggest.
-Is there a way to back up my phone so I dont have to reinstall all of my apps?
Im sorry if there is already another thread like this. I couldnt find it. Thank you for any help.
I did exactly what you did. I used the Passimg.zip method http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...des_&_Tutorials#Unroot_.2F_Restore_your_Nexus Was easy as pie. But yeah i didn't need to do backup / restore of apps as it was a new phone. You can't use Titanium Backup without root, but the market as a few other apps that let you backup apps to SD card.
All info including the Froyo ROM files are linked from the wiki. I went with FRG33 and then updated to FRG83.
Thank you. I was reading through the wiki post and I wasn't sure if the files were updated because the original post date was a while ago. So if I do the method that you did, will it unroot my phone? It is rooted right now.

Yes it will unroot it, flash the stock rom and will also flash stock recovery. So if you have a custom recovery installed that will go away too. Plus all your data and apps.

Is there any way to do this without a functioning power button? The only way to select things in the bootloader is with it.

My bootloader is locked, and I'd like to keep it that way. I'm sending it in to HTC and want it to go as smoothly as possible.
Just as an FYI, what I did to get back to stock:
From CM6.0 I flashed clockwork recovery
from clockwork I flashed 4.06 radio (was on 5.08)
flashed stock unrooted FRF91 from an update.zip
used flash_image in ADB from recovery to flash a stock recovery.img pulled from a FRF91 PASSIMG.
Everything works and is 100% stock now.
Sounds like you're all over it then...

Wait, didn't you need to be rooted to flash back the stock recovery?

I was still rooted in clockwork. Using flash_image put it back to stock unrooted recovery.
As it stands I have stock unrooted everything including recovery.
Oh i see, thanks for the details
Hey guys. I had rooted my Nexus One without unlocking the bootloader using the 1-click root application. I have managed to successfully use Cyanogen roms in the past. I am currently running eViL's NXSense v1.26.
I want to now revert back to the stock Froyo Rom, install all the latest updates which have been done after Froyo 2.2 & be ready eventually for Gingerbread . My question is how I can safely revert back to the stock Froyo rom & still be rooted?
I have Rom Manager installed and I am currently using clockwork recovery. I believe that there is an option in Rom manager to flash the stock Froyo rom. Is this the best option to select? Also I have an ext 3 partition of 512 MB. Do I have to format my card to delete the partition ?
I would really appreciate if someone can post a step by step procedure regarding what needs to be done
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829577
Thanks for the link mate. I would still like to know since my Nexus is rooted, if I revert back to the stock rom will I lose the root? Also if I revert back to stock Froyo 2.2, will I get the OTA updates which have been released after that? Finally what about the ext 3 partition? Do I keep it or do I have to delete the partition and how I delete it if it is not required?
Hey guys. Can anyone please look into my questions? I want to switch back to the stock rom while still maintaining my root.
you will lose root on a completely stock (untouched) ROM, no matter the version. But you can always root back through various methods if needed. Rooting does not prevent you from getting OTA updates.
If you go to Froyo 2.2, you MIGHT have to manually update to 2.2.1 (FRG83) depending on if Google made the update available again (it was taken off for some reason...) but you WILL get future updates (such as the new FRG83D)
As for the ext partition, I do not think it's useful, unless you are planning to use apps2ext which requires root I believe. Don't take my word for granted, I don't know much about this.
Thank you replying mate. As mentioned earlier, rom manager does have an option of going back to the stock Froyo rom. I have a2sd enabled. So how do I go back to the stock Froyo rom. Do I have to format my sdcard to delete the ext 3 partition?
Hey guys. I managed to download & install Nexus One FRF91 stock rooted image using rom manager. I have also managed to restore my applications using Titanium backup. I can see all my root applications are working fine & I can also see the superuser app.
Now when I go to Settings--> About phone--> System updates, it gives me a message that my system is currently up to date. Is this because I am rooted? As mentioned earlier I rooted using the 1-click root & so my bootloader is still locked. How do I move on from FRF91 to the remaining Froyo updates while still maintaining my root?
Also when I connect my phone to my PC & use Minitool Partition Wizard, it shows me my ext 3 partition & the swap space. Since I am not using a2sd, how do I regain this space while still maintaining other files? Can I just delete these 2 things using Minitool Partition Wizard?
I would really appreciate some help here folks
Ok Mods I have finally updated to FRG83D without unlocking my bootloader Also I do not have to delete my a2sd partition now. So please delete this thread. Thank you to everyone who attempted to answer my queries.
So I rooted, using one click method, backed up stock .886 and installed blurry 2.0, based on .893. I know now that the kernal and radios are changed from .886. Does this render my stock back up of .886 useless? Also, what if the OTA update coming in November is actually different than .893, will I be able to update to what ever that may be?

I would take an educated guess and say yes your 886 backups are trash, but don't take my word on that.
If you made those backups through ROM Manager, you're in luck.

That app can extract apps, contacts, and SMS/MMS from Nandroid backups done through ROM Manager.

Im loving blurry just fine and see no reason to go back, but I just hope I didnt cut off my nose to spite my face in regards to future updates.
So I did a data reset in bootstrap, and reinstalled my stock .886 back up, and it installed fine. Rebooted and everything worked as it should.

If you just install 2.0 over stock, you do not get the .893 radio or kernal. You only get the system. To get the radio and kernal you need to to go back to stock, do the permanent root method, install the cheesecake app, then update to .893 through cheesecake, and then flash 2.0. If at that point you flash .886 again, you would have the .893 radio and kernal, and the .886 system. Because the bootloader is locked, you cannot flash a new kernal or radio via cwm.
Sooooo by flashing blurr3y 2.0 in cwm I never got .893 radio/kernel?

Thanks for putting that guide up Tivo. I figure when the next update comes out, you might have to be back with the .886 and I was wondering whether there was a way to downgrade the radio and kernal to stock after going to .893.

The next update IS 893, I've already gotten confirmation of that.
Rootable?
Tivo, will the new bionics being shipped with .893 be rootable? Will they need to be rolled back per the method you detailed here ?

We will have to wait and see what root methods work after the ota is released. Painfully to wait, I know.

It will revert you back to system 886, but your kernel/radio will stay with whatever update you installed. I currently have a hybrid going on. 5.5.893 system and 5.6.893 kernel.

I was going to go completely back to stock again from a Gummy ICS rom. I was wondering if I'm going to run into any issues from having my google account linked to the phone under ICS when I actually get back onto Gingerbread.
And FXZing will remove everything right? Internal SD card, root, etc, etc. It takes it back to what it was when I got it out of the box or when they sent the phone replacement to me right?
And one more question, I'm planning on re-rooting, but not put any custom ROMs on the phone again. When and if the Bionic gets the official ICS upgrade, will I need to FXZ it again or will I be able to recieve the OTA update while rooted if I don't remove/freeze any of the stock apps?
Oh, also I have safestrap installed as well, do I need to remove that or will the FXZ get that gone as well?

Yes. FXZ is a complete wipe of the internal flash memory of the phone. New partitions are re-established. Any factory fresh phone will have recently been FXZ'd so as to be blank and free of traces of previous ownership. The only thing an FXZ will not touch is a MicroSD card, if inserted into the phone.

You are correct. As long as all bloat is intact and unfrozen, Motorola's Update.zip files will install properly.
Of note, however, is that an ICS upgrade will certainly break root so make sure that there's an ICS root method available before taking the OTA for it.
Oh, also I have safestrap installed as well, do I need to remove that or will the FXZ get that gone as well?

FXZ's scrub the entire contents of the phone. That will get removed.
Thanks. Just wanted to be sure before I did it so I didn't screw up the phone.
