Help with rooted N1 wont take 2.2.1 update

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

im assuming that zip wont work because im on build epe 76. Whats the best way from here to get to at least 2.2

It sounds like you need to do some reading. Look at the Nexus One wiki that's linked at the top of this forum. Read everything it has to say, then re-read.
Your questions are answered.

Not to mention the wrong forum. This is development, not Q&A.
Cheers and g/l

wiki page doesnt help at all
just read the wiki page twice, as you said. There is nothing about how to fix this issue. Sooooooooooo.....??????

i have 50+ forums and googled this issue 10+ times, not having any luck....If you cant help can you direct where i can find help????

Lol, the wiki wont show you the exact issue being resolved. You need to think between the lines, do some problem solving. Nobody on this forum is going to spoon-feed you the answer you look for.
Everything I know about the Nexus One (and Android in general) is from these forums. You aren't looking hard enough if you can't find the info you need.
So please, have enough sense next time to at least post in the correct sub-forum, instead of coming in filled with piss and vinegar making a fool of yourself.

1. You haven't given enough information for anyone to help direct you.
2. It sounds like your bootloader is unlocked, but you lost root. Or maybe your recovery (whichever that is) won't allow an unsigned zip.
3. But once again, this is the wrong forum. This is not the place for you to go into further detail. All it will do is piss people off who are trying to work on development, but have to wade through beggar spam. So please stop.

this is the wrong thread for what you need...mod needs to move it. Take it easy guys, he's just looking for help.
If you have Terminal Emulator from Market installed, type this:
at the $ type su ($su)
it should change to # sign
at # type whoami (#whoami)
it should replay back with "root"
If not, you have lost root and you will need to re-root your device. Please open a thread in Q&A to ask further questions.

[Q] (Q) Going from 2.2 froyo to 2.1 stock on Captivate?

I currently have the Froyo 2.2 I897UCKB1 on my Samsung captivate. I'm trying to go back to stock in order to have Serendipity 6.2...
I've read everywhere and searched everything I could...It seems ATT updated froyo so I can do anything with update.zip or go into downloading mode, just recovery mode...
Can anyone solve my problem... I have rooted it and unlocked Non market apps on it...
Oh yes, I used Kies in order to update to 2.2

Odin oneclick,if your build numb get is 1009, , out l lower. Otherwise, use regular odin. Plenty of articles here on how to do it. Next time, please use search before starting a new thread.

you dont need to go to 2.1 stock. just any stock.
hell i dont even bother going to stock between rom.
almost all the roms WIPE your phone before install anyway.... so stock goes bye bye,,,

You must not have searched too hard because this has been answered at least a dozen times. Newbie FAIL.

With him on 2.2, 3e would cause a few extra steps before he actually got a new rom flashed, right?

Ok uh sorry for not opening my eyes and reading what helpful stuff ya'll had to say like links to the right pages.
I've followed every instruction to the T. My phone will not go into downloading mode, just recovery mode... computer freezes on every odin start...
Instead of calling me a noob or a newbie you could try directing me to the right information and stop acting like you got a golden spoon up your MOD EDIT.

Help Please

Hey guys,
I have the latest update 2.31.651.7 on my HTC Hero right now. For whatever reason when I try to install the 2.27.651.6 version I get 140 bootloader version error all the time. This is getting really annoying and I have spent countless days trying to figure this out but I got nowhere. I have already rooted the phone by universal androot. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all of you in advance

Why are you wanting to go to .6? And if your rooted why are you sticking with the stock rom? Honestly man READ a ton before doing any of this. Even rooting.
®parallel universe®

Yes, reading is your friend, to fix 140 go to my links thread.

I literally tried everything possible and I am pretty sure by now I have gone through all the links and threads here in xda. The reason I wanted to go back to 3.27.651.6 was so that I could load custom roms which dont seem to be possible with my current version because I keep getting the 140 error.

Uh........*cough*....ahem. Yeah. Get it fixed?

so does anyone have any advice on what to do? Since getting the new version and the update I seem to be unable to load custom roms anymore.

It seems like you were rooted and accepted the over the air update. If that's the case then you may just have lost root and need to reroot you phone again. Try the one click root app in themes and apps section.

Root this way also if ya like....

[Q] root SGS with CWM v5.1.0.7

I feel silly posting this because I am sure it is going to be a really quick answer but I just want to make sure that I have rooted my phone properly using CWM
Reformatting tweaks and more/ Install root and extras/ Install superuser and busybox (Root)
I selected that and it said "done!" is my phone now rooted???
If not what do I need to do?

OK so after reading carefully my phone is rooted correctly which takes me back to... trying to change my boot screen and not finding the Boot.zip
Please help by replying on this thread--->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1519122

If you're in a ROM using cwm 5.x, there's a good chance its already rooted.

My apologies I forgot to post here that the issue I had was solved thanks so much you have been a great help I look forward to giving back to the community. I am currently working on a custom MGS1 boot screen, almost done! just need to perfect it the best I can its my first attempt at it.

[Q] Noob issue

Guys, Im tearing my hair out here. I have been all over the site for some for of comprehensive answer to my question, but everything I find is making me more confused. So please don't make any cynical "use the search" or "we don't search for you" comments. I am asking for help, not sarcasm. Surely this is the point in a Q&A forum?? They say you only get the right answer if you ask the right question, but I'm not sure what questions to ask. So, Now that's out of the way...here is my problem.
I am using GT I9000, and until last night I was using v2 Paranoid Android on Devil Kernel. I set it up initially with the help of a friend, but he is lost as far as getting this problem fixed...hence my capitulation to asking the forum.
I flashed what I thought was the latest PA Rom, but it turns out that it was the latest CM10, so yeah, you guessed it, wrong ROM. I am now caught in a bootloop and unable to get back into recovery in order to flash from zip, or to delete the data folder in order to get rid of the PA data to allow the boot to continue. I am using Clockwork Recovery, but cant get it fired up.
I saw that apparently I can delete data from within Odin, but I cant find out how to, so I then went to see about going down the root of reverting to stock and starting again, but I cant find a stock rom as I m getting an error 404 on the Samsung site and all the links I am finding for a stock rom are directing me there.
Also, when trying to revert, I have JW4, but I don't have the phone or bootloader for it and cat find them as I am not 100% of what I am looking for, and I am also unsure as to whether or not I am needing a pit file in order to re partition. But even when I revert I will be looking to reinstall Paranoid, so is this even necessary.
As you can see, I have a little knowledge, but a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Right now I am looking at a flashing brick that is taunting me....If there is an easy way for me to get into clockwork recovery, I'm sure I can go from there, but I really I am at a loss, and cant think what questions I need to ask to rectify this situation.
Any help that I can get would be most appreciated...
Thanks
G
[edit] I have since posting this, taken the bricking to a stage further. I am now looking at a black screen with a fone and computer icon with a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark between. I now have to go to stock....please help. I REALLY need to get my fone back in order... I needs it for work. Thanks again.

Hi, i tried to PM you but it seems i cannot send private messages yet.
anyway, you have the jw4 right? install it via odin and before that flas a root kernel for acces the recovery
