[Q] completely reverting to stock - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I want to completely revert my n1 to stock because I have to send it back to a service center. My power button is broken again (4th time!).
I installed MIUI so I need to return to a stock rom. I have a backup of my stock rom so that won't be a problem. I also need to return to the stock hboot and repartition it to stock size and uninstall blackrose. And than I need to unroot my phone.
Can I just do this in that order? And what is the stock partition size?

You can uninstall Blackrose with Blackrose.exe. I believe it will set stock partition automatically when uninstalling.
Do you have Vodafone AMOLED Nexus One?
Edit: if you want, you can download this Vodafone Android 2.3.4 (GRJ22) RUU to make it real stock Android.

after uninstalling blackrose.
flash this stock GRK39F 2.3.6 rom

Oke thanks, I have a backup of my stock rom as well. Doesn't that work?

Yes it will, but maybe they wipe it at the service center anyway?

Yes probably, but I just want them to see it's stock. I'm claiming a complete new one anyway! It's the 4th time now, last time they even replaced the mainboard and that was about a month ago.

Is it a Vodafone N1? If yes, did you contact Vodafone or HTC?

Why is the fix not more permanent? Four failures is pretty outrageous. I assumed they would brace the power button flex somehow.

[Q] warranty phone sending back to htc

I am looking for suggestions in what I should do before I send my phone in for replacement. It is currently rooted and a replacement is on the way because the top button on my phone stopped working. Should I go back to stock? Has anyone ever had a problem with a rooted phone being turned away? thanks so much for the input. Mike
I would definitely recommend getting it back to stock. Don't bother with a stock recovery, but make sure you're on 2.1 or AT LEAST stock 2.2.
I sent mine in stock 2.1 with a custom recovery and they had no problem fixing it because it was a HARDWARE issue that I didn't cause. They run a test to see if the problem comes from the user.
Ok thanks... If I want to go back to stock I can just flash Update-Passion-Full-FRF91.zip just like i would a rom Right? Thanks Mike

[Q] How to get stock Froyo for Nexus One

Hey guys, I just bought a Nexus One off of craigslist. The guy that I bought it from has CyanogenMod-6.0.0-N1 on it right now. Im not really experienced with flashing custom roms and rooting or any of that stuff. I put Froyo on my Captivate when I had and thats it. What I would like to do is to get my Nexus One back on stock Froyo so I can start with a clean slate. Im not sure of everything that the previous owner did to the phone and Ive been having a couple of issues with it, so I just want to start over so I know exactly what is on the phone. So what I need to know is how I can do this.
-Where can I find a stock Froyo file?
-How do I put it on my Nexus One? Do I have to erase the CyanogenMod first?
-Any other hints or good roms that you guys would suggest.
-Is there a way to back up my phone so I dont have to reinstall all of my apps?
Im sorry if there is already another thread like this. I couldnt find it. Thank you for any help.
I did exactly what you did. I used the Passimg.zip method http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...des_&_Tutorials#Unroot_.2F_Restore_your_Nexus Was easy as pie. But yeah i didn't need to do backup / restore of apps as it was a new phone. You can't use Titanium Backup without root, but the market as a few other apps that let you backup apps to SD card.
All info including the Froyo ROM files are linked from the wiki. I went with FRG33 and then updated to FRG83.
Thank you. I was reading through the wiki post and I wasn't sure if the files were updated because the original post date was a while ago. So if I do the method that you did, will it unroot my phone? It is rooted right now.

Yes it will unroot it, flash the stock rom and will also flash stock recovery. So if you have a custom recovery installed that will go away too. Plus all your data and apps.

Is there any way to do this without a functioning power button? The only way to select things in the bootloader is with it.

My bootloader is locked, and I'd like to keep it that way. I'm sending it in to HTC and want it to go as smoothly as possible.
Just as an FYI, what I did to get back to stock:
From CM6.0 I flashed clockwork recovery
from clockwork I flashed 4.06 radio (was on 5.08)
flashed stock unrooted FRF91 from an update.zip
used flash_image in ADB from recovery to flash a stock recovery.img pulled from a FRF91 PASSIMG.
Everything works and is 100% stock now.
Sounds like you're all over it then...

Wait, didn't you need to be rooted to flash back the stock recovery?

I was still rooted in clockwork. Using flash_image put it back to stock unrooted recovery.
As it stands I have stock unrooted everything including recovery.
Oh i see, thanks for the details

phone won't get GB OTA when reset to factory settings (multiple tries)

Hi yall.
I said id return to my nexy and reset it and all. So i followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614850 here as i have done in the past in case a custom ROM went lolz.
Doing the same procedure now, it fails to get the OTA update to GB from Google's servers.
What am i forgetting?
Thanks yall
Hai,
I read it some where. To get OTA, go to Manage Applications>All>Google Services Framework> Clear Data and Force Stop.
Now check for update
i know what you mean,but it does not appear at all on my 2.1 stock nexus. i tried deleting data from Gtalk and such but with no success
Why not just use the PASSIMG method? You could go directly to a Gingerbread one. Our if you don't want to bump your main version, just manually apply the OTA update(s) using the official update zip(s).

thanks guys. i actually used the PASSIMG to 2.2 and from there it update smoothly to 2.3.6!
i guess im back to flashng custom roms as i ve been tinkering with my newer EVO 3d GSM

[Q] Downgrade from CM10 to CM7

Friends
I have few questions about i897
1. Is there any way to downgrade from CM10 to CM7 other than flashing stock and rooting?
2. If this is only the way, how can i find the bootloader version. I am now running slimbeen and i am purchased it from ebay with custom rom. Bootloader screen is at&t logo and world phone. I don't know is it 2.2 or 2.3
3. Back button is little laggy. I found a solution in xda about updating touch driver using secret code *#*#2663#*#*. But this code is not working in my captivate. Is this due to custom rom?
4. During taking photos temperature of cell increases and battery drains quickly. Is it normel?
Thanks

If you want to go down to gingerbread just to use touch firmware update
Then you should not do it, this can brick your touch firmware and you may not be able to use your mobile without adb
And for downgrading purpose
Backup your sdcard (as it can get formatted in the process)
Then flash a cm7 rom
Without completing the installation it will reboot
Boot into recovery again and flash cm7 again
This time you will have working cm

Well do it and if something like that happens then share it with all of us, so no one else will do it

[Q] Going back to stock

Hi,
I just wondered if I could ask a question. I'd like to flash to a different ROM to take advantage of the updates but am concerned that if something goes wrong with the phone later on I won't be able to put the stock EE ROM back on later.
If something should go wrong how can I revert back to its stock EE ROM?
Thanks a lot
Unlock the phone,boot cwm recovery something NOT flashing it. And do a nandroid backup. Then flash what u want.
