Yes you need to load the shipping rom passionsomething.imgsomething file. There's a thread on it. It's real easy, download it, rename it to a special bootloader recognized file, reboot, go into bootloader and it AUTOMagically, loads it.
No. If you aren't rooted you can't go back. The stock recovery will not let you downgrade.
Unless... I may have heard about one special leaked rom that let you do that, but I couldn't even begin to point you in the right direction.
o i c okay thanks...
anyoine out there know if i can update my non rooted 2.1 to 2.2 and then if i decide to go back to 2.1 i can??? please help
i have a non rooted n1 with 2.1 update 1 now if i update it with a froyo unroot version can i go back to 2.1 update 1???
Are you running a custom recovery image? If you are then you can make a nandroid backup of 2.1. If you aren't then the only way to go 2.2 > 2.1-update 1 would be to do a factory reset.
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.

hmm i can try to post the link to u so u can download the img i have that is definite a work for me?? email if you want it faster...
@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.

I have a system update just arrived from HTC.com 28mb i can't verify that it is Gingerbread as it gets stuck @ triangle with exclamation ! and little android everytime i try to install it rooted N1 MM desire .
Some help on installing would be great so i can verify if yes or no ?
More info it says it is system upgrade 2.29.405.2
Apparently on more research it is an update for the desire
does your custom rom have a version FRG83D?

Most likely it's just a Froyo update, or maybe a sense update. Turn signature verification off if you're using Amon_Ra's recovery, then it'll flash. ClockworkMod should work too
It did say froyo
My phone has
2.2
Software micromod 2.10 Superhybrid desire
Kernel 2.6.35.8
Browser version Webkit 3.1
Someone else in forums when i googled said don't install it so i am not sure i should
Thank$ people
Can the mods please change thread title to something suitable please i feel a goose getting excited falsely
i think it's 2.2.1 update
Won't be Gingerbread. GB should be 60-100mb range.
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
Brief of the problem:
Have updated to latest firmware (2.3.6) but unable to root.
Am using superoneclick for rooting as i am not fully clued up in the technical bits of all the rooting. When I press root, it goes through all the processes and gets stuck at step7.
I have rooted this device before and unrooted it back (If i remember correctly it may have corrupted halfway but phone still works and still has the superoneclick/superuser app in the phone)
Can anybody help me to root this device successfully as i need to remove some stock apps I hate.
Many thanks in advance
I guess you could use Z4root as well on Gingerbread Roms. Otherwise you can do a nandroid backup and flash a clean and pre-rooted GB Rom
Root it using CF-Root kernel.. Download this http://download.chainfire.eu/155/CF-Root/SGS/CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS.zip (I suppose you have updated to a value pack - jw4 or jw5), just put your device to DL mode, put the *.tar file in PDA field in Odin (repartition NOT ticked), press start... done.. and you have your phone fully rooted, with CWM, superuser etc.

problem is to root device not to flash a new rom ........:cyclops:
Thanks to all for your replies. Have tried a few of these methods but still no luck. Dont fancy going down the flashing new rom route just yet as just want to root the phone to remove root/factory apps to make the phone run smoother as it seems tolag everytime i open an app or text messege etc.
Any other ways to root simply? sound like the newest firmware makes it harder to root..
yup no simple way to root a device ....
flashing rooted kernel does not sound like anice idea .....
why not just root the official kernel of rom
its surely will be most secure and most stable ...
I know it might sound silly as im not clued up in all this.. but what is a kernal and what does it do?
Can you submit me with a link to official kernals? and possibly a simple way of how to do it.
Cheers

dear kernel is like a core of andriod os ....
official kernel is embedded in rom file
one can extract a kernel from a rom file ..
but i have no idea how its done
