How to reinstall stock FR91 (including stock recovery) - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I currently have a FRG33 with clockwork recovery. I would like to roll back to a stock FR91 with stock Nexus one recovery.
Can anyone provide a link to the relevant articles and files? I have tried googling it numerous times but unable to get to the answer.
Many thanks in advance.

My signature has a link in bold...

In the wiki, the section on restoring your Nexus is empty. There is no content except on recovery images, which is not relevant here.
Which section are you actually referring to????

The Wiki is built in a bit weird way. Each section is a link, and the subsections you see only show what's in the link. You have to actually press on the link to get somewhere.
For example, subsection "Unroot / restore your Nexus" is under section "Guides and tutorials", which is a link. Press it, and you'll get where you wanted to.
There's a huge load of content in the Wiki, just not on the first page.
In your case, since you have a working recovery, you don't need anything special - just download stock image of FRF91, with recovery and all (PASSIMG), and flash it through recovery like you would for any other update.

Thanks so much.

Ok I was on the HeroSense Rom for a few days and it was giving me MAJOR problems, so I decided to go back to Cyanogen 4.2.3.1. I followed these instructions http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Upgrading_From_Older_CyanogenMod_Versions
but when I wen to go flash the ROM I have ADP1 recovery, I don't know how this happened, but I need to guidance as to what I should do now. I want to use Cyanogen again but my phone says it's an ADP1
I've searched the forum and google but came up with nothing.
PLEase someone help
Wrong section. Go to the Q&A part of the forums.
Clicky
You might want to request to have you post moved to the Q&A section of the forum.
Really this is the wrong section for this post.
Request: can someone move this to the Q&A forum? Please thanks. I didn't know.
So what's the problem? Go ahead and flash Cyan's recovery and Cyan's rom and you should be good to go.
You have to wipe, flash htc recovery image, then it reboots and shows the triangle, then it should reboot back into recovery, then you flash CM rom.

[Q] Is cyanogenmod 6 rc2 radio upgrade important to flash

Hi all.
I had recently flashed cm6 rc2 without the radio via rom manager comming straight from froyo. While using the ROM today, I noticed a lot of processes crashed all at once including acore.
When I rebooted, I was stuck in a boot loop. I wiped stuff and did a nandroid restore to get back to my stock froyo, just fine.
Was it the radio that caused it (edit: seems like rom manager may have snuck it in). Since I flashed cm6 from ROM manager, I thought it would prompt me if I needed the radio. What went wrong?
The radio on the first post of the CM6 RC2 thread is the required radio and must be flashed separately if you are not already using that radio. If you are on stock froyo you most likely are.
Radio Firmware: 4.0.6.00.12_7 (FROYO RADIO, REQUIRED!)
Check this by going to: Settings - About Phone - Baseband version
If you are not on the correct radio you can flash by downloading the zip on the first page of the CM thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=722798
If you update again try wiping and a reboot into the mod before your nand restore. Some common issues/fixes are in the link below.

Good luck to you.
Please read the instructions next time instead of posting a new topic.
Edit: Actually, after reading your other post, I'd say, stop what you're doing, reflash to stock, and please don't do anything more. I can see you'll be a headache for all the other users in the future as you refuse to read first then ask questions. Everything you need to know is in the first post of the CM6 RC2 thread and the wiki that is linked within that post. If you can't handle that much, please do us all a favor and don't flash custom roms.
I'm waiting for the "My phone iz bricked now" thread to arise...In the right forum next time I hope!
It's lame topics like this that get budding roms pushed to the back of the list.
chesh is right though, you need to learn by reading first. The search button is your friend.

Mind you. I read those instructions 1 million times. I chose not to flash it because a website said you only need it if you are comming from froyo. I had also seen a video of someone running cm6 without the radio. So I thought I was fine

So are you saying that the 4.0.6.00.12_7 is the radio needed to use cm6 or does it mean I need to flash the radio

4.0.6.00.12_7 is the Froyo radio that is required for using CM6 or Froyo roms. Froyo will work with the earlier radio, but you'll have issues with camera, video camera, MMS, SMS, and a whole slew of other things. There is another radio floating about that's from the Korean version of the Nexus Ones, and has a higher version then the initial Froyo radio, but at this time, doesn't seem to change anything. So, the way you check which radio you already have (as most Froyo roms don't come with the radio, you're required to flash it on your own) is to go into Settings -> About Phone and check what version of the radio you have listed in there. If it is anything other then the above version, then flash the above version.
Follow this guide to the "T" and you won't have any issues. And, BTW: this guide is linked in Cyanogen's original post in the CM6 RC2 thread. (Please visit the CyanogenMod Wiki for step-by-step installation walkthroughs and tons of other useful information.) http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Full_Update_Guide_-_Nexus_One
Strangely enough, i have that radio even though i didn't flash it. is it possible it came from rom manager when i installed cm6 or could it have been there when i got froyo

turns out i have the radio, even though i didnt flash it (unless its not the baseband you mean) i think rom manager snuck it in- could this be possible
if you flashed froyo previously then the radio got updated with that full ROM.
one more thing, for some reason the clockwork recovery keeps dissapearing. it changes to an exclamation mark in a white triangle with a mini green android. it just dosent like me!
Once again, see my previous post where I linked you to the Cyanogen Wiki with complete, step-by-step instructions of how to install all of this manually. I would suggest the manual route, as it seems you need the practice with the commands.

what im saying is that every recovery image i use disappears after i have been in the recovery image more than once Even Amon ra's recovery!
Which means you haven't done some part of the process right. I remember hearing about this once before. Just start from the very beginning of those instructions (including unlocking bootloader). Not going to harm anything if it's already been done.

Are you sure. I searched slot and I didn't find anything about recovery images reseting. I am in need of help.
One thing about the rooting process, all I did was unlock the bootloader and install su permissions. It's hard to find detailed and I mean detailed instructions on rooting a nexus one and installing a recovery image.
do a wipe
i did everything again except unlock the bootloader again because i am not sure of the result of that if you have already done it. do you think a factory restore would do the trick in setting or do i need to http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/Opera...-Nexus-One-to-shipping-Rom/m-p/292051#U292051
Did you do all the steps in the Cyanogen wiki that I linked you, exactly as they were? Because, if you did, you wouldn't still be having a problem. See, this is what I'm saying, you keep on posting, but you don't want to follow any instructions. Why don't you follow that t-mobile guide, and give up on installing custom roms.
And, are you saying this isn't detailed enough?? http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Full_Update_Guide_-_Nexus_One
Or how about some video's in the sticky at the top of this forum? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705460
Or, how about these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Nexus_One/Guides_&_Tutorials
I mean, I found all of those in the last 45 seconds. Come on man. You obviously just can't follow instructions. What you need is the 5yr old from down the block that keeps beating your a$$ at MW2 to do it for you.
why dont you post a video showing exactly what happens. show it booting into recovery, then trying again and recovery disappearing.
Would just let everyone know I fixed it. I've been reading alot and now allmost fully understand the rooting and flashing side of android. Sorry for this noobish post. Will never happen again

I fixed it differently from how you said I should do it even though I tried to do what you said.
Also. I OWN at WW2... you have no idea. Being cocky doesn't fix anything.
Also I know how it feels when there is a new generation of android hackers joining the community. I was with the iphone hacking community from the start. I miss the days when hacking was harder. Don't start saying I can't follow instructions on the rooting process because it was a nandroid restore that stuffed everything up. I rerooted twice just to make sure.
I hate being taken as a noob. Everyone starts somewhere.

2.2 Captivate

So I just got an old Captivate, and it unfortunately has 2.2 installed. I think that with Super One Click I was able to root it, but I am not even entirely sure. I am able to go into recovery mode, but it is the 3e recovery. Is there a simple fix to get past this, or do I have to flash back to 2.1 somehow? And once I do have full access in recovery mode, am I supposed to install ClockworkMod as well? I just can't find any discussion of this for some reason in the forums... Thanks for any help!
Edit: This should probably be moved, I didn't realize I was still in Development forums
This goes in Q&A not Dev. This has been asked only 1000 times please use search function and read ALL the stickies for newbies. HERE is a list of guides that will aid you in everything Captivate related. The rom list on that first link isn't the most updated. THIS is a good guide to flash GB roms.

Enter password after flashing stock ROM

Hi all,
I have just flashed to the stock ROM as per the instructions in the WIKI but when i boot it asks to enter a password and won't do anything else.
Searching the forums i came across this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1451212 which talks about flashing honeystreak from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216374
The honeystreak download links in that thread don't seem to be working any one. Does anyone have a link i can download these files to restore my device or different method i can use to go back to stock.
I would like to flash giveens new CM9 package and his instructions says to start from stock.
thanks
I was just reading other posts in this forum and came across this http://d-h.st/users/TheManii/?fld_id=5697#files
Looks like i found what i was looking for.

[Q] Nook HD+ Boot Issues

Hi Everybody,
I tried to look for situations similar to my own but couldn't seem to find any. I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2602796 to root my new 32 gig Nook HD + and everything was going fine up to step 9. When I tried to install the cm 11 zip, I was getting a status 7 error, and as an idiot I forgot to backup my Nook. So I completely understand that it is my fault, but I was wondering i there is any way to go back to stock rom, because all my Nook does is boot up to the CWM. Thank you guys for the help!
Flash correct CWM. CM 11 needs different recovery. Check verygreen's thread
Sent from my HTC Sensation using Tapatalk
I downloaded the version from the thread then installed it from the CWM menu. Is the version still 6.0.4.6? Because even after I install it I keep getting the status 7 error when I try to install cm11.

Two places to point you:
1. To install CM 11, you should make sure you are using the CWM version from this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2600572
2. To return to stock, you can find info and the stock images on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613
Page down to item 6 in the original post on this thread, which will provide you with the links to various versions of stock.
Good luck.

See I've tried using the CWM from the first link, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I know this will make me sound like a noob, but when the instructions say that I need to "flash" the recovery image (and so on and so forth) it just means to install them through the ClockWork Mod menu correct? Because even after I flash the cwm recovery image, it doesn't make a difference. I still keep getting a status 7 error when I try to install CM 11. I'm also worried that because I put the cwm internally on my Nook (at least I assume I did from what I got from following the guide) I wont be able to change it.
Sorry I keep bugging you guys, I understand if I screwed myself over, but I'm still trying to figure out what I can do to fix my HD+ if possible.
A few more thoughts

Yes, when the instructions say to "flash" they do mean install via CWM, as described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317500
in the section of the original post titled "Back up stock ROM & Install CM 10.1 or CM10.2"
Typically you get a status 7 error for one of two reasons: 1) wrong version of CWM, 2) the ROM you are trying to flash/install isn't actually for your device (or, at least that's what CWM believes). This may be a silly question, but are you sure you have the right version of CM? You downloaded from here, http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=ovation I assume, and you're using one of the CM11 nightlies? If so, there's a small chance you've got a bad / corrupt download. I'd re-download CM11 and try again.
If that doesn't work, I would go to leapinlar's thread (the second one I mentioned in my prior post), scroll down to item 6, and follow that process to revert to stock (including stock recovery). At that point, you will be back to where you started -- stock ROM and stock recovery. Once you are back to stock, you can have another go at it. Since the CM11 install seems to be giving you trouble, you might try 10.1, following verygreen's instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263553 there is also a link in that thread to a simplified list of instructions. FWIW, I'm on 10.1.3 stable and haven't found a compelling reason to move (although I probably will at some point). Another option would be try 10.2 following verygreen's instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389813
