hey all,
im having some issues with unrooting my I9000
i had a rooted 2.1 eclair device wich i updated to 2.2 now i cant root or unroot it anymore. tried aplying the update.zip wich gave me signature verification error and the one click root/unroot doenst even do anything (unless startup then)
do i need to reset the original firmware back again or is there a solution ?

Did you root it again after you get 2.2? that's why you wanna unroot?? My understanding is that once you flash the firmware, the root is gone too.
nope my phone was rooted when i updated it but after the update apps said that it wasnt rooted anymore, so i tried rooting it again, that didnt work and the kernel version says root so that why i want to unroot, i want root 2.2
solved
installed SuperOneClick root and it worked thanks anyways
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?

JH7 was also considered 2.1-update1
there is not an official 2.2 yet
Okay well thanks, I think I'm about to just flash to a 2.2 ROM, I'm tired of waiting on samsung for 2.2

I upgraded my captivate through att with official froyo on the 24th. I have just used superoneclick 1.65 to root my phone and give me the super user access app. I have deleted the stock bloatware apps from att and am now happy. I can't seem to figure how to get tethering unlocked. I have tried to use ROM Manager and clockmod recovery to load up cognition 4.0 but every time I go into boot up from recovery screen I get the signature verification failure. I already tried the update.zip deal as well. I am running kernel 2.6.32.9 build froyo.uckb1. All I want is the easiest and most direct way to get tethering on my phone and if needed put a new rom like cognition on here. Thank you so much for the help.

A search would have brought you to the fact that you need to fix the recovery so it will accept unsighned zip files. This has been brought up dozens of times in the past 48 hours. I just did the search and look what I found HERE
G'day Guys,
This is actually my first time posting. I'll also point out that while I am quite technical minded & have been working in IT for a few years.. I haven't yet upgraded to a custom ROM - and as such I'm having issues
Basically, i've got a Froyo GT-I9000 with a build of DTJP5 and recovery console 3e
I've found Darky's mod to be pretty good and i'm wanting to upgrade to it, upon suggestion by the thread for v9.4? i installed Clockwork Mod & ran through the install for that, however now I'm at the part when I'm trying to apply the update.zip and i get the dreaded 3e "Verification Failed" error.
Could anyone help me out and possibly throw me in the right direction?. I'm lost..
To my knowledge, you will keep on getting the "Verification Failed" error. You need to root your phone (because its froyo, on eclair you could simply go and start using the update.zip for clockwork recovery).
Read this thread. Read the instructions, download the required file and get SU (or root) on your phone and then use the custom ROM you had in mind. I though suspect, you will need to flash your original firmware again. Or you could simply use any stock ROM you can lay your hands on.

Good luck mate.
Phone is already rooted using z4Root permanent.
Yea i've had a look at that article a few times, couldn't find a kernal version close enough to mine. Also when going through the ODIN method using the correct kernal from Z4, i just kept getting the error "Check files!"
My stupid N1 updated to 2.3.4 via ota. and i lost root
If i follow the wiki, which says downgrade to 2.3.3 and then use super1 click for 2.3.3
Will i be ok?
Can some1 paste the link which has the 2.3.3 file that i can flash as passimg.zip?
I donot wanna flash something wrong and brick my phone (i live in Ind where htc service is minimal)
i have an htc slcd with 0c15 microp
how do i flash Amon_ra recovery? i have had success in flashing the clockworkmod frm Rom manager, Any merits in flashing amon_ra?
thanks guys
Ok well if you look in the wiki at the unroot/restore section then you'll find the passimg file for frg83 use that (there is none for 2.3.3) then just root with superoneclick rageagainstthecage method. The other option you have is to unlock the bootloader then fastboot flash a recovery. Now for flashing Amon RA you can do that from ROM manager as well just flash clockwork mod then reboot and you'll see that the flash alternate recovery is no longer grayed out it says Amon RA 2.2.1 just tap that and you've got Amon. Me personally I prefer Amon RA.
rooting 2.3.4
Hey bro, thanks for the advice
I actually found a GrI40 2.3.3 gingerbread stock on the xda forums, If i copy this 2 the SD card and apply as passimg.zip,will it work?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968396,
the 1st build actually says its a stock rom which i am happy to use
Also, is there an app on the market before i apply root>?
i hve about 22 apps and would ideally wanna back them up, before downgrading and flashing
can u advise?
thanks again,,,,
Ok well for the file no you can't use that you need a shipment ROM which come from leaks, the file you found will only work if you flash it from recovery if your rooted or from fastboot if your bootloader is unlocked. As far as backups go the best option without root access is mybackup pro.
And "your stupid N1" did not update itself. The phone is not stupid...
must have happened by mistake
there is no frigging way i updated 2 gingrbrd when i was happily rooted
so itsw stupid
Yes YOU did.
If it makes you feel better to blame the phone for your stupidity then so be it.
Why can't you unlock the bootloader? Why are so, many people afraid to unlock the, damn bootloader? I don't get it.... Just unlock it, flash recovery, flash su, reboot... Profit???? Done. Simple.
bootloader unlock
Babydoll
thx 4 ur advice sir !
Thats one option i have thot off , 2 unlock loader n then flash recovery
But i live in ind ,where N1 cant be serviced and unlocking bootloader
also screws it warranty
Can i dwngrade to 2.3.3 using the GRI40 2.3.3 rom which is avail on on our forums. and then root with super1click?
Once again thx 4 ur advice
Albundy 2010 -if u think ur the only intelligent guy and feel ur superior, i have not seen that kinda stupidity ,thx
I don't think that at all. Just letting you know that it's your fault the phone updated. Don't blame the "stupid" phone for your actions. Just another case of a smart phone - stupid user.
ok thanx 4 the feedback
now that u given ur stupid lecture about "stupidity", can u actually lemme no if its possible 2 downgrade with Stock GrI40 avail on our forums,
Few say its possible and few say it cant
I d like 2 dwngrade 2 use super1click on 2.3.3 which i believe is possible
Yes it is possible. You need to use the passing.zip method to go back to a froyo. You can than root/install a custom recovery from there and flash a rom.
You can also install the OTA's up until 2.3.3 Root that/install custom recovery. Then flash the update to 2.3.4 from custom recovery and without rebooting flash su to keep root.

o super!!!!!, i alrdy have the FRG33 renamed as passimg.zip on sd
But is it possible 2 go directly to GRI40 2.3.3?????[/B], which is stock gingerbrd
thats 1 doubt i hve been Having 4 a long time!!!!
whch is nippier than Froyo
I just dont want to apply 2.3.3 and then brick my device without expert advice
thx again 4 the assist
Yes!
Root FRG33, then manually apply the updates from recovery and flash the su zip over them. Do not reboot the phone, or you will lose the recovery and will have to start again...
OMG, this thread is still going?
Do yourself a big favor:
Go read Wiki, rooting guide, unlock bootloader method.
Execute fastboot oem unlock.
Then flash whatever recovery you like.
Then flash whatever ROM you like. Stock, not stock, 2.3.4, 120312.12974.0935789, whatever.
And if you're not ready for it - then go use your phone as it is, and don't think about rooting until you are. The most important part being - ready to learn to RTFM (google that, if you don't know what it is).
It's the 4th thread you open for help within less than 4 days. That clearly says something.
+1 Jack
The ONLY way to brick a nexus one is when a radio flash goes bad in recovery. Which is why I will only flash radios via fastboot. NOTHING else will do it. Except for physical issues with the phone like water or bad sectors etc.
