There isn't one, the update to FRF50 was from one version only.
soo currently theres no way for me to update to 2.2 till its released through official channels??
You could always unlock and flash one of the updates made for people with unlocked bootloaders.

Yes. The official channel is to wait for Google to push the update to your phone.
The unofficial is to root and flash the file paulobrien posted.
ok thanks for your help

Sorry, I'm a little bit confused. The mentioned archive contains 2 .img files. boot.img and radio.img. Do I have to apply them with fastboot? What happens to the rest of the archive (folders 'system' and 'META-INF')
Is there somewhere in the plains of internet a howto-for-dummies to install a frf83 on a already rooted epe54b?
Thank you.

K since you're already rooted you're halfway there...
Go here:
http://android.modaco.com/content/g...ed-update-zip-no-radio-option-online-kitchen/
and download this:
FRF50 with radio (recommended) - DOWNLOAD (MediaFire Pro) / MIRROR (ROMraid / CoBlitz) MD5: 946229291ed8e24cd80aeb4a66ca2fc7
Save the file to the root of your SD card (not to any folders) and then flash as per usual using Amon Ra or ROM Manager.
After reboot and had a taste of Froyo FRF-50
Go here and download http://coblitz.codeen.org/www.romraid.com/paul/nexusone/FRF83-update-nexusone-rooted-signed.zip
Save to your SD Card, rename to Update.zip (make sure you don't have the known file names hidden as a Windows setting otherwise, it will be Update.zip.zip) and Flash again.
Then you have the full flavoured Froyo with icing and cherry on top.
Enjoy
I updated my N1 from FRG83 to FRG83d manually few days ago and wondering if I can downgrade to FRG83 or even FRF91? There is not much to it than I just like to get the firmware downloaded through OTA. Just curious!
Thanks in advance!

Back up your apps in Titanium, then flash one of the images from here: http://developer.htc.com/ and you are essentially downgraded!

I have a stock N1, but since 2.2 backs up all my apps and reinstalls, I am not worried much. But will I just be able to download the zip file rename as update.zip and install manually? Also, will I get all the Google services along with the zip file?
Thanks for the response.
Try the FRG33 passimg from shipped-roms.

Download it to the root of your sdcard, rename it to PASSIMG.zip, and install. It will flash all the partitions on your device back to stock. It's a stock image...

Strange. Which one did you use? Try this one: http://dl4.htc.com/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/signed-passion-img-FRG83_0923.zip

Check it's not a zip within a zip
Edit: I can give you a 100% tested (by me) downgrade solution. Unlock the bootloader, download FRF91 from http://developer.htc.com and use fastboot to flash system.img and boot.img

You will certainly not damage your phone by doing that, so don't worry. Rename it to update.zip and try again.

Looks like this is yet to be achieved. passimg.zip of FRG33 says main version is older and 'update failed!' error.
Any other leads guys? Mine is a replaced Nexus One and it has FRG83D on it. I want to downgrade and then root. Help much appreciated!

How to flash PG32IMG files?
Sorry guys, a little new with flashing on the Incredible S. How do you apply these files? Rename it to update.zip, copy to SD card and boot in Recovery?
Name: PG32IMG.zip
Place: root of SD-card
Start bootloader, follow the instructions on screen.
Thanks!
Since I am already on it when I got the phone, I suppose this is worth to keep as a backup?
Hey timbo,
Thanks for the quick response. I followed your instructions. Booted into bootloader, it detected the file, loaded and checked. Then it fall back to the main menu. So I thought it is safe to reboot. But when I got back to my phone, its still on the old software. Did I miss anything?
Perhaps. Didn't tried it, maybe your current version number is higher than this one. Just follow my downgrade guide, but use this file instead off the one in the guide.
But I am on an European firmware 1.36.405.1. Was thinking of flashing this to get the Asian languages.
Update:
Wait a minute. Do I need goldcard to be able to flash? My phone isn't branded.

Working only if u have Goldcard!
I have tried creating using GoldCard Helper. Making sure the reverse ID was correct twice. Followed all the procedures to the dot. Copied the PG32IMG file into the card. Booted, loaded, checked. Nothing happened.
Help?

Actually no, the device is not branded. So I initially thought GoldCard is not required. But I do it anyway just make sure I don't miss out anything.
The device is on European ROM (indicated by the European languages) version 1.36.405.1. Radio seems to be up to date. So I don't know what I am missing up here.
Anybody can help? I just want to change the region to Asia WWE so that I can have the local languages. Or it is preferred that I go for RUU files?

HI davidmak,
after u make the goldcard, just run the .exe file and it will flash. do not go to bootloader.
So yesterday I finally found some time to root Gingerbread on my Nexus One. We're moving to Germany from the U.S. in a month and the last couple of weeks I just didn't have any time to get it done. I had my N1 rooted when I was on Froyo and was desperate to root it again on GB.
Last night I set a couple of hours aside to familiarize myself with the GingerBreak exploit and ended up with a rooted N1 and Gingerbread 2.3.3
Here's the funny part... not 30 minutes after rooting I get an OTA notification to update to 2.3.4. Go figure!
Can anyone confirm that 2.3.4 will break root on the N1? If so, will the GingerBreak exploit still work to root GB again?
What would be the preferred/easiest method to upgrade to 2.3.4 and retain root?
2.3.4 will break root. just use the gingerbreak app again and youll be rooted
I figured it would break root but just needed some confirmation!
I didn't actually use the .apk but ran the exploit myself. I think this time around I may just use the .apk though.
Is it confirmed that the app will root 2.3.4?
Just boot into recovery, flash the update as file from SD, and then flash the su zip...

All right, let me recap so I'm not missing anything.
1. I download the 2.3.4 update from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061270, rename it update.zip and place it in the root of my SD
2. Then I download the su zip from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828 and also place it in the root of my SD
3. Then I reboot into Clockwork and apply the update.zip
4. Once that's done I DO NOT reboot and apply the su zip
Is that it or am I missing something?
Don't apply it as an update, because your phone will reboot once it's done. If you reboot, you will lose your custom recovery. Use the "install zip from SD" option...
I tried to apply the update as zip from sd card and I got the following error, which seems to have something to do with google books
apply_patch_check(''/system/app/BooksPhone.apk'',numbers and letters
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip (status 7)
Installation aborted.
Any ideas? Maybe it is because I had integrate Books into ROM? Any solutions?
Thanks a lot.

this is only for those who havent flashed the un-edited update i guess. I flashed the original update too soon and it removed the root access on my wifes N1. I tried flashing the su last night it didnt work, really frustrating... ahihihihi
I was thinking if I flash the backup on 2.3.3 will that bring back the root access? or at least I can already use Gingerbreak then? ty

To do what? To root? This procedure is to, in this case, update to 2.3.4 from 2.3.3 without loosing root.
Now I have an additional question. I wasn't able to use the original update file from Google, presumably because I had deleted the Google Books app. I kept getting the above-mentioned error.
Just out of curiosity, how could I get Google Books back so the update would run? Just placing it in /system/app didn't seem to work.
Not that it really matters, I used the modified update file that danger-rat posted, but for the future I would like to know how I can avoid this error.

Hmm.. are you sure you did all the steps necessary?
1. Rename the downloaded zip file to "Passimg.zip"
2. Place it in the root of your sdcard. That is, in no subfolder.
3. Reboot into the bootloader and it will scan for files named "passimg.zip"
4. When found, it will ask you to update or not.

---------- Post added at 06:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------
After reading up a bit and doing some more googling, I seem to have found a solution as to why it wouldn't work. It seems that file you renamed as passimg.zip was actually an update zip and no passimg zip. A bit confusing at first, but this WILL (read: should) work.
Download THIS and rename passimg.zip and place in the root of your sdcard (this will revert to android 2.3.4)
Now download THIS and rename update.zip and move to the root of your sdcard
Now reboot into the bootloader, choose to apply the passimg and then enter the recovery (this will be a stock recovery solution) and flash update.zip
ALL data is flashed, the hboot is returned to stock, radio is returned to stock but the bootloader will stay unlocked if you unlocked it using the fastboot oem unlock code before.
EDIT: I don't know if this is vodafone. I just found a "generic" gingerbread, but it should have the language you prefer.
