need N! back to stock with OTA updats. HELP!!

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.

hmm i can try to post the link to u so u can download the img i have that is definite a work for me?? email if you want it faster...

@OP
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

I tried installing this one, and it said "The main version is older" and then asked if I want to restart.

go root to 2.2 or 2.1.update 1 first then use it okay..

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.

[Q] update for rooted captivate

ok ... i guess i should say that yes i did "search" about it and i just didn't find the answers that i was looking for ! that's why i ask it here..
so i rooted and apply the lagfix to my samsung captivate. now everytime if go to setting>software update . it just says that "no firmware" or "dm initialization is not ready" ! i know there is no update available for samsung captivate yet ( im on jh7) but when there is how can i update ??!!! and is it safe to update ? how do i restore back to original setting ? (sorry i used iphone for so long and i am still not used to this phone yet ) what i needed to know is how do u restore this phone if something goes wrong ?! i messed up my iphone several times but it was no problem ! all i had to do was fire up itune and hit restore...!

Are you using the voodoo lagfix? If yeah..then you would want to disable that and restore a stock kernel before you do any future updates. Then reinstall it after. If something ever goes wrong with your phone, you can always put the phone in download mode and flash a stockRom with odin.

Well eveytime I check for update it said no firmware . It doesn't even go to menu and say checking for new update from att server and all that ! Is that normal ? And I don't know what lagfix I'm using. I download it from here and it has a shortcut with the name of SL4A and I installed the lagfix-ext4.sh from its options

I am new to the Android world and just got a Captivate rooted it using UNLEASH THE BEAST V0.2 from this Forum.
Now I cannot update the phone with the new AT&T fix and could not find a place explaining how to do it. I read the tread above about restore a stock kernel, flash a stockRom with odin.
Can someone be kind to explain that and maybe put a link up of a tutorial.
I would really appreciate that and hopefully get my phone updated.
By the way my firmware version is 2.1

That is the Odin one click downloader- it restores your phone to stock, make sure you make a back up first because it WILL erase everything in the process. The thread should have adequate instructions as well

Zilch25 I will do that. I appreciate your help.
Thanks

Worked like a charm! Thank you

[Q] Help! Trying to Unlock, updated to Froyo but cant update kernel using RomManager

Hi, I am extremely new to the Android scene, been using an Iphone and got the Captivate when it came out.
Now I am in india and trying to unlock the phone for use on Vodafone.
** I successfully installed the 2.2 update.
** Tried to install the root update.zip but in recovery mode couldnt select the right option so needed to redo the 2.2 update.
** Searched and found that the 2.2 is for regular galaxy S with hard buttons and we need to update the kernel with some of the fixes for captivate which I found on this forum. The v1.3 file with Voodoo and bln and lagfix is one without odin file, so again searched and found that I can install that file using Rom Manager.
** Downloaded the Rom Manager and updated it to the latest version app and tried to Install ROM from SD Card, I selected this zip file i got from one of the threads on this site for v1.3 fixes. But the problem is that the app doesnt do anything it is suppose. I read it should reboot and install this rom but it just took me back to the list of files to select rom and didnt do anything.
What am I doing wrong.
I would really appreciate if someone could help me. I spent the last 5 hrs trying to figure this out
Thanks a ton in advance.

Quite possibly
I thought I will upgrade the phone first, apply the fixes for the kernel and once I have rooted the phone, I could unlock it.
Is that process flow not possible. Do I have to unlock first, then update and then root.
The problem still remains, when I successfully upgraded to the official 2.2 version(again found it from a search: http://www.techlivez.com/2010/07/how-to-upgrade-galaxy-s-to-android-2-2-tutorial/)
I cant goto restore menu and select anything. So after searching for a solution I found that all I need to do is put in a new kernel using ROM Manager and which is what I tried.
But ROM Manager didnt do what it said it would.

I will have to double check since the phone is not with me right now to see what version I am running, but I have upgraded from the link I provided above.

I understand rooting and unlock are 2 different things, just like how jailbreak and unlock on the iphone were, but I thought I could follow: Upgrade to 2.2->Update Kernel->Unlock procedure.

I can try that as well, so you are saying once I unlock on 2.1 and root it, upgrade to 2.2 would automatically make the phone unlocked and rooted? or would I have to repeat any of the 2 steps again.
Thanks for your patience.

Once on stock you will be able to save the fikes that hold the unlock code.
If you go back to 2.2 you will have to paste those fikes back where they belong.

[Q] JH7 Odin?

Ok, so I have Froyo on my Captivate from a looong time ago, but now I want to put in Andromeda 2.0. I followed the directions but then it says i have to get back to stock firmware. I got my Captivate on October 25, so it had the JH7, so now I need to get back to that firmware. Anything before that would brick my phone, so I'm trying to find an Odin restore that will get me back to JH7. And yes, I have googled it up a lot. Could you tell me or post a link, where I might find it?

1) Wrong section
2) You really do not need to go back to stock, that is just a disclaimer used. If you understand you have the possibility of bricking your phone than just flash the ROM. I will help you search but if you search the Dev forum rather than google you will find the thread for JH7 Odin. The only time you really need to go back to stock is with a bad flash, which sometimes can be fixed by flashing the ROM a second time.

Ok thanks, sorry for the wrong thread I'm just about to do the Andromeda 2.0 now.
Also, so it doesn't matter that I have the leaked 2.2 firmware, I can still download it with that rather than the 2.1?

yes you can flashhhhhhhhhhhhh if you don't make your phone into a paperweight

I got a replacement 1010 with jh7 installed and had no issues using the odin ji6 one click restore on it.

Write lets get since information in here...
No technically you do not need to go back to stock but it is always a good idea. No matter what phone model or what stock it came with going back to jh6 is the best bet. It is the tried and true method and better then jh7.so just use the normal common odin

You could just flash over but the thing you would have to get past is 3e recovery there is a fix for that. I think there was a time when all new roms in xda were based on official 2.2 software back in october and november of last year and it had 3e, and the easiest way to get past it was to flash stock first. also there are two versions of odin you should try to get familiar with and a recently updated wiki sorta thread should be useful for up to date info. Hope this helps.

[Q] Little help

Wow I feel like a horse's ass for asking this but it's probably been a year since the last update I flashed, and I've googled and googled for info but I'm googled out. I also checked the dev section but I dont see what I'm looking for so forgive my stupid question: I'm getting the incessant 2.3.6 OTA notification so I need to update to 2.3.6, I'm on 2.3.4 I think it's a stock version. I tried flashing the 2.3.6 update zip that i downloaded, that didn't work and from what I think I remember that was a stupid thing to try anyway. I'm pretty sure I'm looking for a full 2.3.6 stock rom/build/zip, but I've had no luck in my search. Basically I just want the latest rooted full stock rom to flash. My bootloader is unlocked or I would honestly just unroot and install the OTA, I've no use for root anymore anyway. Can anyone throw me a bone? Thanks

if you want back to stock, flash this (in recovery or in HBOOT as PASSIMG.ZIP, whichever way you want):
