Alright, so I updated my phone when the first OTA update was released, and it installed successfully no problems. After this I got into rooting my phone so that I could get rid of the AT&T crapware, use launcher pro, and enable sideloading for apps. I thought that I would check for another update since rumors were swirling about 2.2, and to my surprise it detected a package to download. I was able to download it, however it wouldn't finish installing on the phone and said that it could not be installed. Thinking that this was due to my root, I used Odin to flash back to stock and retry the install, and it still didn't work. So, after that I reverted back to the root, and decided to go and check the firmware and baseband version What is confusing to me is that for "firmware version" it says that I have "2.1-update1", but my baseband version still says "1897UCJF6" instead of "JH7". Now when I try to install whatever supposed update that is available, it downloads and then gets stuck at 50% in the progress bar when trying to install. So I guess my question is, should I be worried about this? Is this the current version, and does it just say "JF6" because of my root? Also, will I need to unroot if I want to install the 2.2 update whenever it comes out?
I apologize for the novel, I'm just trying to be as informative about my situation as possible. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
JF6 is the stock firmware and JH7 was the ota update.

Alright thanks, but why is my phone still displaying "2.1-update1" if I still have the stock firmware? Is it because of the root that it is displaying JF6 instead of JH7?

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.

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

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.

Hey everyone,
I rooted my nexus one when it was 2.2, now im trying to update to 2.2.1. However the OTA update wasnt taking, it failed and the installation aborted everytime. I search forums and found one saying to factory reset my phone, which i did. Saved everything with titanium backup. Now im stuck with:
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Kernal version:2.6.29-01117-g4bc62c2 android-build apa26#1
Build nuumber: EPE76
One problem is i do not get an OTA update to upgrade to 2.2 or 2.2.1. Also i did a manual update with signed-passion-FRF50-from-ERE27.1e519a24.zip and it fails and installation aborts. How can i get back to at least 2.2, but preferably 2.2.1.
Also when trying to restore my apps from titanium backup, it tells me my phone is not rooted, but I still see the little "padlock" unlocked when i boot my phone.
Thanks, hope someone can help
John
What recovery are you using?
fastboot, then recovery, used a zip i downloaded from another forum that gave me build epe76. just renamed it to undate.zip and let the phone do the work.
What recovery are you using? Stock? Clockworkmod? Amon_RA?
i guess just stock, all i do is fastboot the phone and hit recovery
Have you tried ROM Manager?
yes but i am getting an error that my phone is not rooted. Although it is, the padlock is open when i boot the phone. If I root it again will i be able to install 2.2?

There you go.
Unlocking the phone is one thing. Rooting is another. You need to root it over again, but it should be easier this time since you do not need to unlock your bootloader.
ok i will try but before i do should i upgrade to 2.2 or 2.2.1 first then root it again? Because that was my problem originally, i rooted it when it was 2.2 and could not get do the OTA update to 2.2.1 to work the installation aborted with an error every time.
No, root the phone first. Then you can put whatever the hell ROM you want.
It's like putting your pants on first, then your shoes.
Yeah root first cuz most of the custom rom already jumps to 2.2.1

Also, if you root first, you can make a full backup before doing anything else...

Hi,
i have a sgs from optus australia with the following info:
Baseband: I9000DTJP3
Kernel: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #36
Build: FROYO.DTJP5
i flashed the speedmod kernel following instructions on the cyanogenmod wiki http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide
i wanted to flash cyanogenmod but it had a signature verification fail, which i now know is because of the recovery version. so i've given up on that and i just want to update the phone over kies to the stock gingerbread.
so, i'm pretty sure i can't just connect the phone to kies and try to update it because it has clockwordmod recovery?
so the question is how do i get back to stock kernel? i think I've downloaded the right firmware (from:http://www.multiupload.com/CH3Y5SAHE2), is it a matter of finding the kernel in that folder and just flashing that back on to the phone? is there going to be any issue with this?
thanks everyone
So I just went for it and updated the phone via kies. It worked with no real dramas.
So the next step in getting back to stock is to get rid of superuser, which I can't do now because the update took away root.
Is there a way to temp root the phone to remove superuser then get back to unrooted again?
Why not to flash with odin, with repartition and full wipe?
It will restore it ot factory settings.

Thank you for your reply, I read this a couple of days ago but I didn't really understand half of what you said lol
So I googled a lot but i'm no closer to understanding. I did a factory reset just from the settings menu but that didn't work. What does repartition do?

Repartition will effectively wipe your entire phone (it repartitions the phone's memory).
Odin is a program used to flash (install) firmwares, both custom and stock ones. Tutorials are everywhere, please search.
Cool thanks for that, I guess the problem I had with understanding is what am I flashing? The stock firmware? Because isn't that what kies just did (albeit without the repartition). Seems like a pain to find the stock firmware since I just got it from Samsung ota

It's either that or you root and then unroot (no idea how to do that one).
http://www.samfirmware.com/ has firmwares. If you flash a Froyo one (repartition checked), you could then update again via Kies. This will give you an absolute stock phone (including the loss of all your information via the repartitioning).
Have you tried going to the market finding the super user app and trying to click uninstall from there. Im guessing you tried the normal way...
I've tried uninstalling superuser and all it has. I've tried like 5 times now the install for the new firmware update won't install i keep getting a android with the red exclamation sign and its front door open, then it boots in to android and says update failed. Help please!
Do I have to factory restore first or somthing? i really dont wanna have to cause i just got this phone from at&t as a referb for my old one that had battery issues and its not fun setting everything up over again lol

Hi buddy.
First of all, I don't entirely understand what are you trying to do. What to you mean with "firmware update"? Do you want to flash a new ROM?

Sadly no, my friend. Any reason in particular about why you want this specific update?
Let's hope somebody else in this forum can help you.
Are you running a stock recovery? Have you tried using Myth Tools to flash back to stock?
Its running stock rom from factory everything is factory right now
I kept getting the dead Android as well. We're you running a KK ROM on your phone before restoring to stock? I was running Validus and tried to use Myth Tools to flash a stock ATT 4.1.1 ROM which also failed to take the update. I then installed a 4.1.2 Bell stock ROM (my phone came from Bell) via Myth, let the phone boot, and then flashed a stock ATT ROM via Myth and it took the update.

I am on 4.1.1 from the factory. This is a referb phone from the factory like not even a week old yet. Boot loader isn't even unlocked. Its all stock and I'm getting dead android.
If you're getting the dead Android, it makes me believe that something may be wrong with the stock recovery. Some people were able to get the update to install using the latest Philz Touch recovery rather than stock recovery.

Forgive me I am a noob. I recently rooted my AT&T S5 cause was waiting for the 5.0 update to come out. I decided to go back to stock and upgrade and removed the root all except the bootloader still appears with custom when starting phone and is only trace of root is all can seem to find but is keeping me from installing new 5.0 as it gets to 28% and restarts says unable to install instillation interrupted. How can I replace bootloader with stock one and where may I find one? Any and all help appreciated. I am running 4.4.4 android and is a SM-G900 AT&T S5 with kernel G900AUCU2AOA1.

Install Samsung Kies on your PC/MAC, and try flashing a new firmware with Kies. Follow the on screen instructions
I have tried that and tell me that my software is up to date have also tried a few different stock roms which were supposed to work with my phone with Odin and they all fail.
