I just got my replacement phone thru HTC and I was returning my current N1 to stock. I had CM6 installed and I rooted my phone without Unlocking it. My plan was to reinstall the stock recovery and go back to a stock unrooted Froyo.
A bunch of stuff happened and where I'm stuck at now is that I have a stock recovery. And my phone has an incomplete OS. (When it loads it just Force Closes everything.)
The last thing i flashed before the OS stopped working was: Update-Passion-Full-FRF91.zip
I tried flashing in fastboot. idk what else to do?
I'd like to either have this go back to stock like i wanted or at least get back to having RA Recovery so i can recover my nand
Please get back to me as soon as possible.

I got mine to stock and successfully returned it to HTC for a swap without any problem using fastboot from the link above. I didn't flash it to stock 2.2 I only flashed the room that it came with from factory (really old one ERD79) and HTC didn't care.
yeah i tried doing that first. but i kept getting failed verification errors
just flash RA recovery via fastboot ( if you can, I dont't know if it will let you since you don't have bootloader unlocked)
Or try using the PASSIMG.ZIP method
Please help soon. i have to send this phone back to HTC
IMGPASS.zip did not work. Main version is older! error
it wont let me go into stock recovery and flash any signed ROMS. It starts to open them up and then i get an error.

Phone Fixed itself??
THe phone fixed itself. It finally rebooted and no force closes.
No idea what i did that fixed it.

Now to mess with my new phone :/
Hi,
I just wanted to update manually to Gingerbread.
But I am truly confused with all the version jibber jabber...
My Android version is 2.2.1, Build Number FRG83D and Kernel is 2.6.32.9-g6624e39 [email protected] #1.
My phone is from german Vodafone Company. Maybe it is because of the language? But I do not care about it, use only English anyhow.
Can I update?
Obviously I can not with the just released file, cause I get a "cannot verify".
Or do I have to wait for another file and why?
Thanks!
Do you have Vodafone or Stock Google Android installed? This update works not on the vodafone version.....
You're not even on the latest version of Froyo, of course you won't be able to use the Gingerbread update.
Update to FRG83G with the last link in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11618364&postcount=947
Direct link to FRG83G (from D) http://android.clients.google.com/p...igned-passion-FRG83G-from-FRG83D.2854b06b.zip
How do I switch to the lates stock version that I can update Gingerbread to?
I thought I updated manually to the latest version before...
I really hate this part of Android
edit: oh thanks to the above, guess I'll try that

it seems to me that you are not on the stock android ROM, but you are on a special vodaphone version of the ROM. if this is true, i highly suggest that you get rid of that ROM. that means you should root your phone, gain superuser acces, and install ROM manager.
ROM manager will now let you easily flash a variety of ROMs, just like an official OTA update, and including the stock ROM. so from ROM manager you could switch to stock if you wish, which would let you upgrade to gingerbread. or you can switch to cyanogen, or any other ROM you see in the list.
by far its the best thing to do.
Okay this are the steps I figured so far, if I follow them will I be able to update to Gingerbread?
Any step I forgot?
- Root with this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959672 (yeah I'm on ubuntu)
- then I "download the FRG83 system image from http://developer.htc.com and use fastboot to flash over the system and boot images"
- then I run the update the Gingerbread update

That is what I had to do to get mine working...
So you may help me out cause i'm stuck again.
I have rooted via SuperOneClick now, cause the linux one did not work, blame it on eclipse...anyway.
I installed RomManager as suggested above, but there is no FRG83 to choose from.
So i downloaded the FRG83 from HTC and choose that with RomManager. But it does not install, just backups then reboots and nothing changed.
I also tried to do it manually but if i go to fastboot i can not do anything.
There are only Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader and Power Down.
I named the downloaded zip (http://dl4.htc.com/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/signed-passion-img-FRG83_0923.zip), root.zip and placed it in the root of the sd-card.
What am i missing?

I downgraded to stock from my laptop.
You go into fastboot on the device and then on your computer run commands like:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
.
Fastboot in this case is used to restore the stock images from your computer to the device.
You then need to re-apply all the updates.
Just flash the full stock Gingerbread ROM from the dev section. Easy peasy.

Hi all,
I have exactly the same problem as DarsVaeda, and also the same specs:
Nexus One (Vodafone NL)
Android version 2.2.1
Build Number FRG83D
Kernel version 2.6.32.9-g6624e39 [email protected] #1
HBOOT-0.35.0017
RADIO 5.12.00.08
I've been trying to find a solution for the problem but trying to update to FRG83G gives me the same error message:
Finding update package…
Opening update package…
Verifying update package…
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed

if someone has a solution, please post it here
I believe Vodafone tweak their ROMs, so you can't install the update. You will need to revert your phone to complete stock, or root and flash files through a custom recovery, our unlock the bootloader and fastboot flash...

Yep he's right.
I am on gingerbread now.
I rooted with super one click.
Then installed rom manager.
Flash a custom recovery (ie. at the bottom).
Downloaded stock FRG83G from HTC.
Booted into the recovery and installed the rom.
Afterwards I could update to gingerbread.
No downsides yet.
You can also flash the stock gingerbread rom now. Saves you one step.
It's linked here in the forum.

So there is no way around it? if I want Gingerbread on my Nexus I have to root it or wait for Vodafone.
I'm unsure about rooting, never done it before and I'm a noob in this field, but I really, really want the update
If you don't mind, DarsVaeda, and in the light of your success with that method, could you maybe post an even more detailed step by step instructions of how you did it?
Sure.
First of all I lost all data that was not saved remotely. Like SMS or application data from applications that do not remotely store data. Keep that in mind! But it's worth it.
I backup SMS to my google account anyway and delete them after some time from my phone, so I was fine with that.
As far as I know now you do not void your warranty if you root with "SuperOneClick". The root will also be gone after you flashed the rom. On my phone there is only a program called "superuser" left, but it's not usable since the phone is not rooted anymore.
Step by step:
before get all of this:
- get and install the USB Android drivers on your WindowsOS explained here (and download): http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
- install "RomManager" from the market on your phone
- get "SuperOneClick" here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
- get the Gingerbread Stock ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968396
- rename the stock rom to "root.zip" and place it on the SD-Card, top level
1. on your phone goto Settings -> Applications -> Development -> check "USB debugging"
2. connect phone with USB to your Windows machine (drivers above should be installed and Windows should recognize the phone)
3. fire up SuperOneClick and click "root", wait until it tells you it wants to run a test
3a. if it fails to root the first time, just hit root again (I had to do it, after second try it worked)
4. restart the phone after it is rooted
5. back in Android start RomManager
6. in RomManager flash a custom recovery, I took the one at the bottom (something with alternative recovery, second last entry)
6a. it might want you to install additional software, allow it
6b. it will ask you for rights, allow them
7. after the flash is finished boot into the recovery (second entry from top of rommanager)
8. in the custom recovery navigate to the point where you can apply an update with a zip file (in the one i took it was the second entry I guess)
9. after you choose the entry you can choose the zip, choose the "root.zip" and apply
10. now the installation should start with verifying and then actually applying the rom
11. restart the phone
11a. if you are now stuck in the start animation (the one with that floating x-thing) and it does not go on you have to reset all you data (factory reset)
11b. power off the phone and start it with pressing the power button and volume down
11c. a screen appears, navigate to "recovery" and hit the power button (you have to wait till it loads something, then you can press that)
11d. in the new screen there should be an option called factory reset, if not it is like "wipe all data" -> that's when you loose all your data (I had to do it)
11e. reboot the phone
12. Gingerbread should boot now
Feel free to ask any questions if you have. Hopefully I can help.
I did not use the stock rom directly, guess that saves you one step.
If it does not work, but I guess so you have to do the same as above but install this rom first:
http://dl4.htc.com/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/signed-passion-img-FRG83_0923.zip
After you installed it boot the phone and check if the version is correct: Settings -> about phone.
If so get the Gingerbread update (http://android.clients.google.com/p...signed-passion-GRI40-from-FRG83G.81304b2d.zip) and place it on the SD-card as "update.zip".
Boot to the recovery, same steps as the factory reset. There will be an option "apply update.zip". Use that and after it you will also have Gingerbread.
Wow! thank you so much for the step by step guide, I really appreciate it now I feel more confident to attempt the feat of updating.
You don't need to root to update.
Follow the wiki guide to unroot/restore using the passimg method for FRG33, then install the updates to FRG83, 83D, 83G, then finally Gingerbread...

You prolly fixed this already but in case someone else has this issue. Try installing Busybox from the market.

I rooted my phone with eclair installed and used clockworkmod recovery with no issues until I one day wanted to go back to stock and attempted a restore of the backup I made right before flashing the OverStock ROM. The phone wouldn't boot, so finally got the Overstock to go back. Phone worked fine for the most part, but from then on to get into recovery mode, required shutting down and using button presses (Up/down vol/PWR button) and it would go in fine. Could never get Clockworkmod to go into recovery mode with a click. Saw that (finally) Samsung has published a Froyo update, so took back to stock eclair using ODIN3 so I could use Kies mini to update. Did a factory reset to remove all old info directories and data. Update went perfect, but want the option to use the rooted apps (Titanium backup and ClockworkMod--purchased apps) to play with my phone as I see fit. Used SuperOneClick to root phone and verified I can get superuser with using terminal emulator, successfully executing "su" command. Problem is I can't get into CWM recovery. Only get "Android system recovery <3e>". Tried uninstalling CWM and reinstalling. Re-Flashed CWM recovery and it lists version 2.5.1.2 as current and latest.
I obviously need CWM recovery to flash different ROMS, but wanted a current backup before starting. Can't get any further until I figure this out. Any help would be appreciated. I was a noob, just a month ago, but was feeling pretty confident until this happened. Guess I'm still a noob, but just a little more dangerous now. Thanks in advance.
Just noticed that I wasn't in a phone specific thread, so here's my phone details... Samsung Vibrant (T-Mobile).
CWM issues with Milestone
In the last update of the RomManager was added support for version ClockWorkMod 3.x for Milestone - but still unable to use the CWM as standard recovery.
Using another recovery as OR1.4 you can start CMW from the SD card - but that does not solve the problem of RomManager stay with completely limited functions.
The Rom Manager is having updates constantly and I think we have a working version for Milestone soon - but in part I'm upset to see that the Milestone is listed as a supported device - when in fact it is not.
I bought the full version of Rom Manager because I believe it is a great tool and I hope someday I can use all its functions.
I have the same problem. I use OpenRecovery for Sholes to do those things. I hope we can use those tools like a normal user even a day.
Hellow,
I wile back i installed CWM but did not install a other rom just yet.
Yesterday my phone recieved a rom update. When i want to install the update, the phone reboots into CMW, there i cannot execute the downloaded update.
Then i taught just let it be, so i rebooted. But now there is always the message in the status bar saying there is a update available en i just cannot get rid of it.
Anyone knowing how the install the/a offcial rom update with CMW?
Or howto remove the annoying message in the statusbar?
ps, i aint got a external SDCard just yet.
Hi,
After some help please, I am trying to upgrade from android 2.1 to gingerbread.
I have managed to get root access on my Samsung galaxy S i9000. I did this using the 'Galaxy S I9000 One-Click Root.exe' tool.
Then I installed Rom Manager via an .apk install (couldn't find the free version in the market for some reason).
After this I downloaded the busybox installer/updater and updated busybox to the latest version available.
Now I am having problems as when I run rom manager and try to run 'Flash Clockworkmod recovery' it goes through the process and when I reboot into recovery (using rom manager as I can't get into recovery using three button combo) it doesn't have the CWM recovery its just the standard one.
Also if I try to backup current rom (thinking this is a nandroid backup?) it reboots into recovery and just sits there and doesn't do anything.
Can someone please help, tried doing lots of research but am getting very confused as to what to do next.
Thanks in advance.

1.) Backup /efs folder
2.) Check that USB driver is working OK when connecting SGS to Windows in download mode
(no? - disconnect, find drivers, download, install)
Yes? :
3.) Flash in download mode using Odin + 512.pit + 2.3.x ROM + Sbl
You must use ROM with Sbl.bin = 2.3.x bootloader when going 2.1 -> 2.3
If no download mode by pressing (vol- home pwr), use XDA search for this fix.

Hi,
Thanks for the response.
I have now managed to successfully fix the three button combo issue so can get into download mode and have backup my efs folder.
Before I flash I would like to do a nandroid backup. I installed rom manager but still can't get CWM to install sucessfully. It says download successful when run from the rom manager option (flash CWM recovery) but when the phone reboots the CWM isn't there is just the stock options. Any ideas as to why this is or how to fix?
Many thanks in advance.
I have sorted my nandroid backup. I didn't realise that once you downloaded the CWM you had to do a manual install from stock recovery using the update.zip. Soon as i did this it was ok.
Now going to flash using odin v1.82 + 512.pit and Gingerbread 2.3.5 europe rom GT_I9000_XFJVA_XXJVT_OXFJV1_Sbl
Will make sure re-partition is checked.
Hopefully all will go well. Will post update after update.
