I found it easier to just unlock the bootloader and rooting instead of downgrading and oneclick rooting.

how do i go back to frf91 from frg33?

I flashed 33 and my phone is stock. I need paid apps plus this build is bugging out on me alot. Stuff freezes, its just a bad build. How do I undo this without rooting?
Pretty sure you have to root.
If its like FRF91. Then it wont let you downgrade because it sees FRF91 as an "old version."
Download ere27 as passimg.zip. place in your sdcard root. Boot into recovery. Restore. Let it do its work. Put frf91 into sd card. Boot into recovery and load from zip. Ta da. You are on Frf 91

Or, if you want a shorter and more correct route:
Nexus One Wiki, "Restore", PASSIMG.ZIP method, use FRF91 complete stock image found in one of the threads in Q&A from the last day (or Google).
Don't use FRF91 update, since it's only an update - it's not a complete image.
whatever. Just use a passimg.zip to clean out all the crap. its basically the "do-over" method. Think etch-a-sketch flip and shake.
i tried passimg from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717870
it said failure because it was an older version. If i find that ere one will it let me do it? i dont mind going way back and working my way back to froyo, but i dont think i can passimg anything since its considered "older"
search the forum for how to downgrade your hboot- it exists just search for the thread

Thank you. Looks like ill have to root for it which im sure ill find if i search how to root 33 so ill wait for a while to see if something else comes up but at least I know there's a way
There is no other way but to root.
Since you're erasing the system you're rooting anyway, why do you care?
The full guide is now in the Wiki, including reverting HBOOT for those that need it.

i dont know, i did 1 click root a few times but every rom i tried- cyan, eno, modac, whatever were great but there was always some bug or something that was annoying enough that i just wanted stock instead. So i dont know how much i like the idea of permanent root, but theres probably a stock rom i can use so its not the end of the world. SDK/Terminal i did all that crap with my g1, personally i found it to be more of a hassle than it was worth. But not having protected apps is not going to cut it so ill cave soon im sure
Again, maybe this time it'll be understood:
There is no "permanent root". The only "permanent" thing is unlocking the bootloader, which you don't have to do - the guide doesn't require it. The system you root will be erased in the PASSIMG method and replaced with a completely stock system of your choice. So, what's exactly stopping you from rooting?

the only way to go back from FRG33 is to unlock the bootloader at this stage, the PASSIMG method does not work
When you revert HBOOT, it should work fine. Just the same as it works with Korean FRF91 version, which also has a new HBOOT. People in the FRG33 thread don't know it?
Why people can't understand?At this moment,if you've flashed stock FRG33 rom,using PASSIMG method,you can't root anymore!The only method to roll back to FRF91 is to unlock your bootloader,which is permanent and can't be un-done!
Cheers
Did you see that?

Or is it the only report? (in that case, the guy probably didn't try to run root).
Anyway, being unable to root makes you unable to flash PASSIMG of anything with bootloader lower than 0.35 - but did anyone try PASSIMG with Korean FRF91? It has the same HBOOT as FRG33, so it shouldn't be reported "older".

Code:
[HOW-TO] Revert HBOOT 0.35.0017 to 0.33.0012
I CAN'T RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER!!!
This only reverts your SPL/HBOOT back to 0.33.0012 after you've installed the Korean FRF91 files and ended up stuck with 0.35.0017 SPL.
Thanks to the guys in the Desire forums and help from the Nexus Q&A, I have reverted my phone to the original HBOOT so I can apply custom roms again.
First you need to root the Korean FRF91 that's on your phone using Paul's instructions for superboot FRF83.
If you are rooted already, skip this step.
http://android.modaco.com/content/go...the-nexus-one/
Code:
How to use Superboot - Windows, Linux and OSX
- Download the Superboot zip file above and extract to a directory
- Put your device in bootloader mode - Turn off the phone then press and hold the trackball to enter the bootloader
- WINDOWS - double click 'install-superboot-windows.bat'
- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh' followed by './install-superboot-mac.sh'
- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh' followed by './install-superboot-linux.sh'
Note: If you are using a retail Nexus One, you may need to unlock the bootloader first, as detailed here.
Ok, let's make some order:
1) PASSIMG can flash versions with the same or higher HBOOT version - to check: will the same version flash? I believe so.
The official FRF91 has HBOOT 0.33.0012, the Korean FRF91 has 0.35.0017, and I suppose the FRG33 also has 0.35.0017 - correct?
2) Rooting isn't possible on FRG33 yet. 1 report doesn't count.
So, looking at this:
Using PASSIMG with the Korean FRF91 (complete with HBOOT 0.35.0017) will work over FRG33, if the HBOOT is indeed the same version.
Korean FRF91 is rootable.
Rooting Korean FRF91 allows to downgrade HBOOT, which in order allows to use PASSIMG method to flash official FRF91 with older HBOOT.
So, did anyone try PASSIMG with Korean FRF91?

Downloading and testing, thanks for the tip, will report back.

Can I downgrade from FRG83 to FRF91 ?

I want to downgrade so I can root using universal root
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
You can try the passimg from http://developer.htc.com
or you could just use the rageagainstthecage method instead, which is fine on 2.2.1
Passimg won't be able to downgrade, it'll say "trying to flash older version". To avoid it, the phone needs to be rooted. And OP wants to downgrade the phone to be able to root - so it's a loop .
Using rageagainstthecage method is the only way to root with locked bootloader.

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))
can i able to install custome rom after update to fgr83 as u say

SuperOneClick 1.9.1 root gingerbread phone

did anyone try superoneclick 1.9.1 on nexus one with 2.3.3 or 2.3.4?
I tried and it's not working.
Try it. SuperOneClick is not working on 2.3.3
Gingerbreak.apk v1.2 is working on 2.3.3 but not 2.3.4
Gingerbreak isn't working for 2.3.4, any alternate solutions?

I tried SuperOneClick (2.3.4) without succes. How do you root yours?
Kind regards, Lasse
Ok well to root you'll need to either unlock the bootloader or passimg back to frg33. If you passimg back then you can root with superoneclick if you unlock the bootloader then ask me and I will give you some instructions on how to do it.
1. Unlock the bootloader.
2. Flash custom recovery.
3. Flash su or a rooted rom.
If you can't or don't want to do this sell your phone. You should not have a dev/GED period.
not working on 2.3.4. why not flashing a rooted rom? not difficult.

Well it's cause if you want to flash a rooted ROM you'll need to have root access and if he had root access he would not need superoneclick.

UnaAble to root Nexus One

im useing ota 2.3.4 and ive tried everything to root the nexus one universal,z4,gingerbreak i have the bootloader unlocked but it will not root however gingerbreak did install su i thought my G2X was a trip this thing is giveing me more grey hair somew one have a solution
I had this problem and just managed to figure it out today (through the power of google). Superboot, oneclick and gingerbreak all don't work for 2.3.4 as of right now, so you have to use the PASSIMG method to flash an older version and root from there.
I found a good guide, but given that I've been a lurker for the past couple years as opposed to a regular poster, I can't link it. In lieu of a link, I suggest a search query such as "root 2.3.4 nd1razor"
Your bootloader is unlocked. No need for all that crap. Put the su zip on your sd card. Flash custom recovery via fastboot. Boot directly into the new recovery. And flash the su.zip from the recovery. You're rooted. The end.
you just need to flash custom recovery via fast boot or rom manager.then you can flash custom roms (which mostly have root along with tweaks) via recovery

I also unlocked the bootloader!
I put this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1084726
But I still do not have root permissions ... Why?
You have them, but probably don't know how to use them. How do you check for them?
How did you put the ROM? Did you flash custom recovery?
Yes, i flash recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img
Now my rom is: MIUI-1.9.16
The strange thing is that I managed to install the rom and recovery without having root permissions
Not strange. You don't need root. You have unlocked bootloader......

Thanks, you're very kind!
How do for get root permissions ?
The ROM includes them. When you're inside the ROM, you have root.
You are right !!!!! I just had to change the parameters with superuser
thanks
P.S.: Sorry for my ignorance
