[Q] No way to download Modaco's superboot - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm trying to install a custom rom to my stock N1. Right now I'm trying to download Modaco's superboot from this page, more specifically the frf91 version, supposedly available here and mirrored here.
Neither link seems to work, though. The first one does download a file but it seems to be corrupted, and the second one gives me a "not found" error. Are you guys able to download that specific version of superboot? Could someone upload it somewhere?

The link works fine.
And why not download FRG83 version, unless you're on Vodafone FRF91 or something.

And if you are on Voda FRF91, download FRG33 then FRG83

The first link does download a file, but when you try to open it it's corrupted. More specifically, I get this:
Archive: /tmp/1.1-FRF91-nexusone-superboot.zip
[/tmp/1.1-FRF91-nexusone-superboot.zip]
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /tmp/1.1-FRF91-nexusone-superboot.zip or
/tmp/1.1-FRF91-nexusone-superboot.zip.zip, and cannot find /tmp/1.1-FRF91-nexusone-superboot.zip.ZIP, period.

I'm trying to locate FRG33 but there doesn't seem to be such a version, was that a typo? Also, why apply two different ones?

FRG83 won't apply using PASSIMG method, so you need to apply FRG33 and then FRG83 update.
Everything you're looking for can be found in Wiki, look at my signature. "Unroot/restore your Nexus" contains the guide and the links to whatever you'll need to end up with FRG83 on your phone.
And in any case, if you're trying to install custom ROM, you can use SuperOneClick application and install a custom recovery, without trying to flash superboot which you don't need.

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

Froyo FRF84B for rooted Nexus One?

Please excuse me if this already has been answered, but I tried searching a hundred times.
I have a rooted Nexus One running stock ROM with Froyo FRF50 running. I have tried to download a zip-file from an Engadget comment, but when I tried to flash it, I was told that "the files are not validated" or something like that...
So I assume that is because the file was for unrooted users only?
Correct me if I'm wrong...
Can anyone link me to a file, or a site with a file, that's for unrooted users?
The file should be named update.zip, and you will have to install it from a stock recovery image. Aman-ra or clockwork etc wont work. You flash the recovery image through your terminal.

need N! back to stock with OTA updats. HELP!!

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.

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

[Q] Nexus one stuck on erd79

i got my nexus one shipped with ERD79 . the phone was upgraded to frf91 thanks to the OTA. i had used metamorph to change the power control widget to transparent.
This morning i received the frg83 update but it failed and it threw an error stating settings.apk has been changed.
i downgraded my N1 using the passimg.zip file . its now on erd79 but will not upgrade to frf91 . when i check in system updates it states my system is upto date.
How can i get froyo on my phone now?
Upgrade to FRF91 via PASSIMG.
i am currently downloading the Nexus One FRF91 system image from developer.htc.com . do i rename the file to passimg.zip?
Yes. In case you're not sure about something - in the Wiki there's "restore" guide.

Stock FRG83D [Untouched]

Just a quick question,
I did some searching around the forum and I didn't have any luck so maybe I wasn't searching the correct build or maybe there was a link I missed. I'm just wondering if there is an untouched version of FRG83D available for flashing?
Thanks.

You can extract the stock image for FRG83 from here: http://dl4.htc.com/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/signed-passion-img-FRG83_0923.zip and then apply the FRG83D update from here http://android.clients.google.com/p...signed-passion-FRG83D-from-FRG83.ecb21b75.zip (via recovery)
You are just trying to get stock FRG83D, right?
If you just want the update...
Kaiba provide the FRG83 to FRG83D update zip. If you're on FRG83, just rename to update.zip, place on root of card, and flash via recovery.
If you're on any other ROM, follow the unroot/restore guide in the wiki...

Tried that.
I am on stock FRG83 using Amon_RA 1.7.0.1 and getting
E: No signature (177 files)
E: Verification Failed
when trying to flash.
(downloaded from the two links above getting the same file and the same results)
Ideas?
Thanks..

My phone is rooted.
The original poster's question, and my question too, is how do we upgrade a stock, rooted, but otherwise untouched (e.g. not deodexed) N1 from FRG83 to FRG83D.

Agreed. I'm not looking to flash a "stock" rom. Just upgrade my stock FRG83 to 83D.
You need to be using Amon_RA 1.8 or higher (or the latest ClockworkMod) to flash a Google-signed updated. Any earlier version and you will get a signature verification fail.
Download the FRG83->FRG83D stock update.
Install Amon_RA's 2.0.0 recovery.
Turn off signature verification in the recovery.
Flash the stock update.
You might not retain root. If you're unrooted - reboot to recovery and flash superboot. If you lose the recovery too - then root again using SuperOneClick or whatever.

Where were you till now? ;-)
All done. Now on FRG83D.
Lost root, lost recovery + had to get rid of /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Wasn't too bad, but a full stock rooted rom would be easier.

Yeah I lost Wifi so its alright.. jk.

I thought it was odd how there was no clear answer till you came.
I did what you said, i have Amon's 2.0 recovery installed, disabled verification, and tried to flash the zip. I got a Status 7 error, assert failed: apply_patch_check
I also got errors with Amon-Ra 1.8.0 installed.
FRG83 produced errors because i deletet some stock apps like browser.apk. I found here a modified update.zip and could update.
This time with the org. FRG83D update.zip i get the same error. But i cant find a modified zip here....
Can someone help or missed i a thread with the modified zip?

Are you running a stock ROM? Is it deodexed? Did you delete any apps? If you are trying to flash the original signed update, for it to flash, you need to be running a stock, odexed ROM with all the original apps still present.
