Guys, why do not I can manually update from my N1?
On the first pass I get the error on the file PASSIMG :
Main Version is older!
Update Fail!
Do you want to reboot device?
Original N1 Brand Vodafone (ITALY)
Versione di Android: 2.2.1
Versione banda di base: 32.50.00.32U_5.12.00.08
Versione Kernel: 2.6.32.9-g6624e39
htc-kernel and18-2#1
Numero Build
FRG83D
Radio 5.12.00.08
HBOOT-0.35.0017
There are solutions (change radio, etc.) ?
Or is required unlock the bootloader?
You are running Vodafone N1. You need to run Google N1 to get Gingerbread update.

Thanks for the reply, but how do I? I tried the procedure for the "no brand" but does not work! I would not unlock the bootloader.
Your only option is to wait for a Vodafone update (or unlock your bootloader)

Thanks!
There are other suggestions ? The only way is to unlock the bootloader ?

You have to revert to FRG33 using PASSIMG method first to remove voda firmware. Then use Update.zip method to progress to FRG83 onwards. No need to unlock bootloader.

exact!
If you unlock the bootloader can be updated?
I do not think reading the 3d of the post. N. 5
What it means: If You Have SLCD phone - and if Repaired recently, you definitely have it - downgrading HBOOT will leave you with a nice brick.

Take a look at the end of this thread.
Apparently, you may be able to get around the "main version is older" error by using a Korean image...

Does anyone know how i can get froyo on my phone with the EPF21B build? Could i change to the ERE27 build WITHOUT rooting my phone? Or flash pauls version through the stock recovery image, without voiding my warranty? Thanks for any help
same problem.
my phone is EPE54B
HELP!!!
Gotta root until Google sort it out I'm afraid.
I have ERE36B with locked bootloader. Can I just update or do I need another update file?
You're on an awkward build... I very much doubt there will be an upgrade path for you.
You will most likely need to flash a mainstream PASSIMG.ZIP (AT&T EPE54B or Vodafone EPF21B) and update from that when Google release one.

Edit: Actually, maybe you should listen to him. After clarification it seems that there were un-original roms out in the wild that didn't need an unlocked bootloader. If you updated to that ROM yourself, even without unlocking then you may not see an upgrade at all.
Old post below for continuity's sake.
--------
Don't listen to him. It seems he is telling you that you will need to unlock to upgrade. If you aren't going to unlock yet, just wait, there will be an OTA update for you too, you just have to wait for Google to send it out.
Google will not force you to unlock your phone.
Is there a way to go back to ere27 so i can update now, without unocking?
Dont mind if i have to do a factory reset or something like that

EPF21B is the official euro shipping ROM.
You can't change it back to ERE27 without unlocking the phone, period.
If you don't want to unlock, you'll have to wait until Google issues the OTA for the official euro phones.

Thanks for that completely incorrect post.
I am not telling you to unlock, both can be flashed in the same way you flashed ERE36B as they are official released images.
As ERE36B is a release that shouldn't be out in the field, I doubt an update will be made for it.
So, since I am not on Vodafone or AT&T, what should I update to? AT&T EPE54B or Vodafone EPF21B?
There has to be a way to restore the phone to factory state and factory ROM?

Sorry about that, it seemed to me that you were telling him he would never get an update without unlocking. But he did mention that he was still locked and had that release. I don't know how he got that one, but if he is truly locked wouldn't it make sense that Google knows of the phones out there with that version?
I still don't think it would make sense for Google to not give those phones an update, and to force them to unlock to upgrade.
Am I missing something important here that's really messing up my understanding?

Except that the factory ROM is different from one to another.
Tmobile factory ROM : ERD79 (which can then be updated to ERE27).
ATT factory ROM : not sure but the one before EPE54B
Europe factory ROM : EPF21B.

I think so.
There are certain ROMs that were leaked, these can be installed without unlocking the bootloader as they are release signed. No phone sent out by Google came with ERE36B, you had to install it yourself. There is also no way back to stock ERE27 without unlocking the bootloader.
My reckoning is that as this particluar ROM isn't meant to be in use by the public an upgrade path is unlikely, hence the advice to flash to a 'legitimate' release image (no unlock necessary) which will definitely be upgradable.

Thanks for explaining. I'll go edit my original post.
Thanks Rusty. What rom should i update to then? Is there another rom i can downgrade from, or is it generally impossible to go to an older rom with locked bootloader?
Can't go older unfortunately, else it would be a no-brainer.
As for which one, I doubt it matters, but I would expect EPE54B to be the next updated.
cant you just flash pauls prerooted version?

Doesn't work, cancels installation when it doesn't find the right signature.
yeh, tried that, Wont work with locked bootloader. Tried all ERE27 images, renamed to either passimg.zip or update.zip, and same for all frf50.. Only one thing left to do i guess, and that is wait.
Having the Same Problem,
Hi, I have a Nexus One from Vodafone, and have unlocked it, however, I still can't get it to update to Froyo FRF50 so I can then further upgrade it, I am currently on build EPF21B which I think Vodafone have mucked around with, because I have just updated a Friends Nexus Manually with the same file not problems, mine keeps coming up with, first:
Froyo+E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Then fails on this:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
Can any of you kind people out there confirm that there is something slightly odd about the stock Vodafone ROM,
Thanks for your time in this matter, I assure you that it is deeply appreciated
Kind Regards - Ashe
Hey there,
i was just wondering if there is a way to "downgrade my N1 in order to root" like it is told in the tut "root w/o unlocking"
I've already tried the "Stuck on FRF91?" tut but unfortunately N1 told me "Main version too old"...
Any solution on this?
Thanks a lot!
EDIT:
Hi again,
i was trying just another passimg.zip and with this, there is no "sorry, but main version too old" message - hboot just loads the image, checks and then goes back to "hboot main menu" w/o doing anything... any ideas? used this: 22607-ERD79-update-nexusone-stock-signed.zip
EDIT2:
EDIT :
tried to flash the FRF91 universal update...it says:"signature verification failed" or something like that...
EDIT: same happens, when i try to "update" the VF FRF91 again - is there any way to "reflash" such as a recovery/BACKUP? thanks!
has nobody any idea?
Did you just try the rest of the guide without downgrading?
not yet - from which point should i start with?
"loop" - command doesn't work for me... (cmd window in sdk/tools )
I was having issues with the EPF30 VF firmware as well, eventually I had to unlock the boot loader then downgrade it to ERD79 once I did that I got the option for upgrading it OTA to FRF91 as I didn't want to root it. Looks like you may have to unlock it to get back down to ERD79 then root.
well, that is exactly the problem I got I don't want to unlock the BL until it is confirmed that there is no way to switch from VF FRF91 to US FRF91 (shouldn't it be nearly the same thing?)
I downgraded my N1 following that tut, but i used the EPF30 ROM instead.
Here is the link to the EPF30 ROM:
mediafire(dot)com/?q4jrntqdywu
hmmm im wdonering the solution to this too

can you get root with this?
I think so, i didn't try it but i guess you can root with 2.1 (EFP30 VF)?
Can anyone confirm this?
You can give it a try.
w/o unlocking BL it's not possible! (vf 2.1)
if there won't be any solution (root w/o unlocking) i'm going to unlock BL this WE

You should use the FRG33 passimg as per Wiki, then upgrade to FRG83D.
Also, wrong section.

ok as u said i need to use FRG33 ( FRG33 is upgraded version than FRF91 ?)
Just grab the image from here: http://developer.htc.com/
Have you tried the last update (FRG83D)?
Although if you want the FRF85D, first flash the FRF50 update (http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?url=paul/nexusone/update-nexusone-FRF50-signed.zip) and then upgrade to FRF83 with oficial recovery (http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?url=paul/nexusone/Update-Passion-FRF83-From-FRF50.zip) and finally upgrade to 85D (http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?url=paul/nexusone/Update-Passion-FRF85B-From-FRF83.zip)

Korean N1 was released with 2.2(FRF91) from the start, IIRC. So I don't know if downgrade is possible. (And, you can still root your device via rageagainstthecage exploit after upgrading it to 2.2.1(FGR83))

you have the Asia WWE HD7.
ansar's SLSPL won't be able to be used, unfortunately.
only way for you to downgrade SPL, aka Bootloader, is to Zune pre-Mango (i.e. NoDo) restore, here or this here.
i don't know how to explain further, sorry.

as far as i know, (have been out of the game for a bit) with OSPL (aka Original Bootloader) 5.xx can't be downgraded while retaining the current OS. but it can be returned to a stock Shipped ROM, instead of a Custom ROM.

if you are looking to flash a Custom ROM... you'll first need to downgrade your Bootloader.
OSPL is a stock locked Bootloader.
RSPL is a temporary unlocked Bootloader, which reverts to OSPL after reset.
HSPL is a permanent unlocked Bootloader, which replaces OSPL.
you'll need to downgrade your Bootloader, in order to XSPL.

See bold print , and also I cant do the goldcard way.
you won't be able to use ansar's SLSPL, it is for Europe only. you have Asia WWE.
you needn't need the goldcard, only the method of doing it.
the goldcard way looks more of a hassle , Might just leave it.
