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.

The passimg file will take everything back to stock: ROM, Recovery, and Radio

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.

@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

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] Question about firmware...

Alright, so I updated my phone when the first OTA update was released, and it installed successfully no problems. After this I got into rooting my phone so that I could get rid of the AT&T crapware, use launcher pro, and enable sideloading for apps. I thought that I would check for another update since rumors were swirling about 2.2, and to my surprise it detected a package to download. I was able to download it, however it wouldn't finish installing on the phone and said that it could not be installed. Thinking that this was due to my root, I used Odin to flash back to stock and retry the install, and it still didn't work. So, after that I reverted back to the root, and decided to go and check the firmware and baseband version What is confusing to me is that for "firmware version" it says that I have "2.1-update1", but my baseband version still says "1897UCJF6" instead of "JH7". Now when I try to install whatever supposed update that is available, it downloads and then gets stuck at 50% in the progress bar when trying to install. So I guess my question is, should I be worried about this? Is this the current version, and does it just say "JF6" because of my root? Also, will I need to unroot if I want to install the 2.2 update whenever it comes out?
I apologize for the novel, I'm just trying to be as informative about my situation as possible. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

JF6 is the stock firmware and JH7 was the ota update.
Sent from my Captivate

Alright thanks, but why is my phone still displaying "2.1-update1" if I still have the stock firmware? Is it because of the root that it is displaying JF6 instead of JH7?

JH7 was also considered 2.1-update1
there is not an official 2.2 yet

Okay well thanks, I think I'm about to just flash to a 2.2 ROM, I'm tired of waiting on samsung for 2.2

[Q] Easiest way to get on to this german ICS today

Hi,
I hope you can help, I have trawled the threads and just have a few scattered pieces of the puzzle.
Can somebody please walk me through this... I have a stock XEF note fully updated and would like to put the german DBT one on there.
I am not worried about backing apps and settings up or perm root and would like to retain the ability to get upgrades by kies or device software update, is this possible?
Would the easiest way be to root and change the code in the file to DBT and use kies, DBT does not seem to be an option with the *#272*IMEA#?
If I need to root to do this, whats the easiest way to do it, market app?
Thanks for your time.
Cheers
Richard

i want the same answers please help

I you dont care about root use PC odin to flash or if you need root mobile odin should do the job.thn to get cwm flash cf-root kernel

Stock instruction - No root
Here's my instructions for complete noobs (including myself). I hope it's helpful to some people.
Warning: I read from one of the members that if you have a custom ICS (beta), this will brick your phone. I don't know whether this is true or not, but it worked fine for my Checkrom v6 Gingerbread device.
0. Download and install Samsung Kies. (to get the USB drivers)
1. Download the ROM file from here using software such as utorrent:
or from directly from here.
Source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
2. Once the zip file is downloaded, extract the file inside. You'll have a file named something like xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5.
3. Download Pc Odin
Source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Extract it to a folder somewhere. This software will be used to push the ROM image file to the phone. Since the ROM image is stock, it won't increase the sneaky custom firmware counter.
4. Power off your Note.
5. Hold Volume down & Home & press Power button. Then when you see the Samsung logo, let go of the Power button. Your phone will boot into Odin/download mode. Press Volume up when asked to. Now you are in download mode.
6. Connect your phone with usb cable to your computer.
7. On your computer, run PC Odin. Then click on PDA, and select the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.tar.md5 file that you downloaded.

Don't touch anything other than the red boxes. Then click start. (In this picture I don't have the phone connected, but when your phone is connected, the box under ID:COM will be yellow with port number in it.)
Downloading should take about 10 minutes.
8. Once done, you'll see your Note booting up into ICS. You can do a factory reset if you want, just to make sure it's nice and clean.

Glad that it's working. By the way, this instruction I posted up there will overwrite the kernel too because stock image file contains everything. Other people are using Mobile Odin Pro, but I don't want to buy that software as I don't think I'll be using it many times. I'm going to wait for rooting mine. For now, stock setting without root works fine for me.

Thank you so much hp79 for the guide and providing the links, this worked perfectly!!

flashing DBT outside Germany
Pardon the absolute noobness, but I wanted to make sure that by flashing the DBT file, I won't suffer in the long run.
will be there any adverse effect of flashing a firmware designed for a german carrier or the german country? Will my Note start looking for wrong frequencies?
Would I need to do a second flashing or load a new CSC file (whatever that is) after I'm done?

Wow! This actually worked! I had a XEF-phone, and this walkthrough installed ICS with no problem at all. It didn't even wipe the phone!
I've seen several walkthroughs, but not this clear and straight forward.
Will tweet this thread. Thanks so much!

Wow, this sounds great! But how do I do this with a mac? Does is work with heimdall?

@hp79, That is a wonderful guide. thumbs up for this. I saw this guide after I flashed ICS but used the same procedure you have posted.
If you don't mind can you answer one question of mine as best as you can.
If I want to revert back to my GB do I follow the same procedure that got me to ICS.
I ask this because when I go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ and click "checker" and I enter my phone model and my phone is the Hong Kong one so I select TGY. But I didn't write down the PDA, CSC and modem codes when I had GB. So now I have forgotten them.
So in order to get back to the GB I originally had is the TGY (Hong Kong) sufficient enough for me to manually look for the GB in the list under Asia and get the GB 2.3.6 I originally had?
Would this take me back to the GB I had before I flashed ICS (Germany)
I hope I have written this clear.
reason I ask this is because just in case something goes wrong or I decide that ICS is not good for me right now I want to be able to go back and without me noting down the PDA, CSC and modem codes of my GB I cant download the correct ROM. All these questions I ask is to make sure when later I update through kies it wont stuff up.
Thanks for any answers.

Maybe someone with more knowledge can answer you question, but I think the frequency for GSM cellular band is standard for everywhere, and the phone should support all frequency it can make use of. I know for sure that there are differences in wifi channel support depending on country and regulation, so there could be missing wifi channels in 2.4GHz and 5GHz band. I'm in U.S, and my original Gingerbread firmware was UBKK with Spanish language when I turned my phone on for the first time.

I flashed between 5 different kind of region of stock Gingerbread ROMs using PC Odin on my Note, starting from UBKK1. I also tried some custom Kernels in ClockworkMod, but I never changed modem codes or anything like that. So you might know more than I do. When I used stock ROMs, they all worked right after flashing, but sometimes there were missing apps (or even additional apps) and I just needed to do a factory reset, and then I would get everything to default out of the box condition.
Since I never tried going back myself, I can't say for sure, but I think it'll take us back to Gingerbread using PC Odin and stock ROMs.
It's not bug free, but I really like how ICS is. Bugs I encountered so far - in Amazon appstore, I couldn't click the "install" after downloading was finished. I had to reboot, then I was able to click on that. Another bug, I paired a bluetooth keyboard, but wasn't able to type with it. After reboot and re-pairing it's working perfect. Another bug, using Torque, when there is no BT device, it kind of stalled the whole app and screen went gray. But these could be bugs from the software and not the OS. Everything else is much smoother now. Unlocking screen has much less lag. Remember the lag and choppiness in Gingerbread's unlock screen? It's much better now. Stylus support is much better too. You can display a small dot for your stylus on the screen, just like tablet PC now. So you have better precision. Sad thing is that Papyrus is only for Gingerbread. (Papyrus is like mini version of OneNote to me as I use Onenote on Tablet PC.)
I do miss having root though. Can't install Adblock, can't get rid of the camera shutter sound, but still I would never go back to Gingerbread.

I just connected my phone to Kies on PC and it says "your device does not support software upgrading via kies."
So my previous post, if anyone can answer that I would appreciate it.
Cheers.
Sorry I was typing when you posted above.
In that case I will wait until ICS officially comes to my area and then I will start putting stock GB ROMS on my device to see if Kies recognizes it as official and then I will upgrade to ICS via Kies.
Cheers.

I think it is highly recommended to do a full wipe including emmc dalvic cache since you are installing a totally different system..
it's just an FYI....

wtf I downloaded this http://www.hotfile.com/dl/144991274/0a35087/N7000ZSLA2_N7000OZSLA2_TGY.zip.html from SamMobile official and the archive is password protected.
Anyone know where I can get the password?
no worries I found it.

This is a decent thread noobs...if you are a total virgin relax flashing a ROM isnt as scary as you think...its so much easier and fool proof than it was just a year ago let alone a few years ago
If you are worried about the binary counter or want 2 avoid custom roms all together follow the simple instructions. You can find the original instructions by Dr. Katen in his basic Stock Roms thread found in the Android Develooment section.
IF you have a stock ginergbread rom and you follow these instructions, you will have a stock ICS wo any effect to binary counter or problems whatsoever.
You could then easily root the device with the EZ CWR method found in other threads however there is rumor that CWR is causing corrupting a few sectors of the internal NAND flash memory....one confirmed brick so far....so you may want to hold off on that until a "safe kernal" is developed for rooting or the issue w CWR wiping and LPY is figured out.
im running stock ICS wo any issues whatsoever so far...has some lag backed up did a fsctory deset running very smoothly. Am now waiting for Cyan to drop a new ROM based off LPY or for the chefs 2 put something new together off LPY after the rooting issue is worked out.
Happy flashing

Downloaded it multiple times...
You do this from within the rom correct?
"4. Install either Root Explorer or Root Browser and delete the following Knox files "
I have tried this 3 times now, and I am stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy S4:" screen, with "Set warranty bit: Kernel" in yellow in the top left corner. Will not move past that...

I have seen a lot of Stock ROMs but some of them haven't got Data Toggle in notifications where did this toggle go?

The current version of the rom already has knox removed. I would recommend you backup all your data via Titanium Backup and then do a clean wipe before you install 4.3.

You also also need to update the modem in order for wifi to work. The bootloader should not be affected by updating the rom or the modem.

Samsung decided to remove the data toggle in the new updates. I miss that feature too..

I don't know - I didn't chance it. I did a nandroid backup, backed up my Nova settings, backed up my SMS messages...basically backed up all the configs I could to my SD card.
Then I used Philz recovery - did a "wipe to install a new ROM", wiped Dalvik cache, wiped everything else again just for good measure.
Then I installed the software update via Philz, and rebooted into download/flash mode (there's an option in Philz to do that).
Then flash the MK2 modem using Odin - uncheck reset clock and auto reboot. When I got the "PASS" I did a battery pull and booted the phone.
When the phone came back up, did the initial setup (skip setting up gmail and other accounts until after you've disabled auto update and auto download apps in Play Store), and shut down. Flashed SuperSU 1.86 and booted again. Installed Root Explorer and deleted all the Knox crap (instructions in first post).
Installed TiBu. Disabled/Froze bloat through system or TiBu. Reinstalled all my apps from the appstore and restored settings and SMS from the saves on my SD card.
This update has the stock kernel, but it works and there are no WiFi issues. I was using the KT kernel on MJA, but only because there were WiFi issues - every time I tried to tweak something my phone would go all unstable and wonky so I just left all the tweaker settings alone. This update is already rooted as well, but you will need to re-flash the newest version of SuperSU before it will work (instructions in the link to SuperSU in the first post). As long as you still have custom recovery and MF9 bootloader you won't lose root and if you do, you can regain it pretty easily.
Make sure the modem update takes - I actually ended up doing it twice (first time with autoreboot and reset clock enabled didn't take). If the modem update doesn't work you WILL have WiFi issues until it updates successfully.
MK2 is running MUCH better than MJA. I had all kinds of problems on MJA with iffy performance, sudden crazy battery drain, and hard crashes when getting phone calls. None of that now and everything is running much smoother.

can we use twrp for this rom .. or Philz only ? has anyone tried ?
I would like to go back stock ..

Update 1-1-14: You should be able to use any recovery to flash the rom but be sure to wipe all the pertinent partitions first. Personally, I would recommend the official ClockWorkMod recovery. I have had better experience with this recovery in flashing new roms.

[Q] I9295 - How-to update baseband?

Hi all,
I am on a custom rom (Carbon) and want to update the baseband of my I9295.
I downloaded the latest stock firmware for my region from sammobile.com
However I am unsure how to proceed. If I open the firmware file with 7zip I can see the files modem.bin and NON-HLOS.bin.
How is the correct procedure? I have to flash them over "phone" with Odin? Which settings have to be checked in Odin?
Will it work like this??
Flash modem.bin over phone (only auto reboot and reset time checked)
Reboot
Flash NON-HLOS.bin over phone (only auto reboot and reset time checked)
Reboot
Please help, I don't want to brick the phone.
Best wishes, Christian

I want that too
Howdy,
I was curious about that too. Am also on a custom ROM and wanted to update the modem.
Last week I was using TouchWiz and made the update to the latest available firmware, which also updated the baseband version.
But... I just couldn't find a way to root that newer firmware, which was unacceptable, so I had to flash back to the original one, which also reverted my baseband version to the former one.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but there should be a way to do this.
It would be nice if it were so easy as you propose it, by flashing those 2 bins from the official firmware, but how? Which tab in Odin do you use for that? Are you sure those are the necessary files? Are you willing to risk bricking "for science"?
Regards.

Did not work
Hi,
I tried as described above using the France (XEF) firmware ML3 from sammobile.com.
It didn't brick the phone but my baseband also did not change. After that I just flashed the whole stock firmware (into PDA of course). This caused the phone to bootloop on the Samsung logo. I pushed clockwork recovery via Odin and restored my Nandroid backup. Phone is working again, but the baseband is still the old one.
Has anyone suggestions?
Best wishes,
Christian

You're a brave one
It looks like the modem is an integral part of the firmware. You pushed those files through Odin and it didn't change the baseband version, but it must've overwritten something in there, since after flashing the entire firmware the phone wouldn't boot. Anyway, who knows? When I updated, I didn't bother downloading the firmware on my PC and pushing it to the phone, I just used Kies. As I said, it updated the baseband too, but I couldn't root the thing anymore. You can try that too, maybe you'll manage to root it afterwards.
Looks like you used Odin 3.07, which has the PDA tab, they changed that a bit in 3.09. Any idea what the other tabs do? Maybe I should find some instructions on that.
Anyways, a more qualified person should give us an opinion on this, if it can be done or not.
Cheers.

In principal, after I pushed the whole firmware it should have updated the baseband. I don't understand why it didn't. Perhaps something is wrong with my Odin. After flashing it only showed "RESET" in blue instead of "PASS" in green. However, pushing the custom recovery worked even without the green "PASS".
Additionally, I got the Samsung boot logo after I pushed the firmware. Before I had the Carbon boot logo.
I cannot use Kies as I am on a custom Rom and the phone is not recognized by Kies. Did you try rooting by pushing CWM recovery via Odin? This should work regardless of your baseband (at least on the I9295 because of the unlocked bootloader). You can get the newest Odin-ready version of CWM here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BzJzDM42pkRvRzhHUEtPSGllSm8&usp=sharing

PS: I don't know. Use Odin 3.07, all guides use this version.

I don't think there's anything wrong with your Odin. Just that, before flashing the whole firmware, you should have reset the phone entirely, preferably from the recovery partition (CWM), as you do when flashing custom ROMs. Or probably you didn't wait long enough for Odin to turn green and give you a "PASS". Or maybe, seeing that it didn't work you should have tried flashing again. The first Sammy logo is present on boot regardless of the currently used ROM. The ROM's logo or TouchWiz logo is displayed after the initial Sammy logo.
Obviously, I was able to use Kies because I was on TouchWiz, as I've said before. After updating, I've tried many things in order to get root again. Of course I also pushed CWM. Problem is I got a continuous annoying popup from the ELM agent (part of Knox) crashing, preventing me to install apps and asking for restart. So, the phone was unusable. The rooting methods I used are valid for previous firmwares, they did not work for the updated one, for me at least. I didn't find anyone who has root with newer stock firmware. Or maybe there are ways I didn't try.
Odin 3.07 or 3.09, nevermind the version, what the buttons do - that's what matters.
Cheers.

I flashed TouchWiz firmware (PDA) I9295XXUBML3 via Odin (I used the Nordic countries version CSC I9295NEEBNA2).
It installed baseband version I9295XXUAMF7, which KIES confirmed as being the latest available.
Then I've pushed CWM, rooted (although it wasn't necessary anymore) and installed CM11.
And that's that.

Yeah, I had real trouble booting into the newly installed stock TW. The thing would get stuck on the SAMSUNG logo and would stay there forever. I eventually booted (manually) into stock recovery and wiped data/factory reset (as if it wasn't already factory default), wiped cache partition and tried again. It didn't work. I repeated the previous wipes and the f...er booted into TW. I flashed CWM, flashed SuperSU zip via CWM. Knox was behaving really annoying before that. So I had root. But my wifi just didn't work anymore. I checked the new things brought by this firmware, nothing interesting there, I hooked Kies and it confirmed these are the latest PDA, CSC, baseband and then I returned to CM11 and lived happily ever after.

Hi, I found a comment from @alram here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53188068&postcount=299
acording to him you just have to flash the modem files as phone in odin.
Not shure about the NON-HLOS.BIN files though...
Do they also have to be flashed as Phone in ODIN????
Here are just the modem files from him: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BwwLmYElvFOmRkF4WGhEbFNoMG8&usp=sharing

Yeah, man, I've seen that.
I didn't bother with flashing the modem separately anymore, since updating to the KK TouchWiz updated my baseband to UCNE5. But it certainly can be done, I don't know about #allram's way via Odin, you can ask him yourself what to do with the NON-HLOS file.
There's also #spegelius' way, in Linux http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52603644&postcount=219

Hi,
Thanks for the hint. ...i missed that.
Still, i' m on Windows (sorry) and therfore with odin.
>4. sudo heimdall flash --MDM >modem.bin
Ok. Flash as modem.... can translate that.
But what with:
>5. sudo heimdall flash --APNHLOS >NON-HLOS.bin
???
I'l try try to google that....
Unfortunatly sammy has not jet released a german 4.4.2 update....so...i'd have to go for the Netherlands update in order to completely flash 4.4.2 TW. I kind of shy that.... so i consider just updating the modem and otherwise use @alrams CM11 (which i really love). I hope to solve some sound issues i experience with CM11 and the UBML2 baseband.

I used the Dutch TW for KitKat and I had no trouble whatsoever, even if I'm in Romania. The Northern Countries version is also available. I did it just to check out the latest Sammy stock ROM and... nothing interesting there. A day later I switched to #allram's latest CM11.
