Hi all, I put this question for my friend. His Nexus One was dead now came back from hardware changed. He found that his N1's frimware had changed from previously 2.3.6 to 2.1 now. He cannot find update function in the setting. Is there any way to back to 2.3.6 or any best stable stock rom at this moment? Thanks.

I'm not so familiar with upgrading stock roms, because my N1 was at 2.3.6 when I bought it. But in all stock and custom roms of my N1 and other Android phones there was at least an option at Settings -> About phone -> System updates to upgrade the firmware OTA. In custom roms this option is functionless, but it should be there. Perhaps it has been overlooked by your friend.
If there is against expectations no such option you can upgrade to the latest firmware over fastboot described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312540

I don't know either. Google should help to find out. But with this roms you need to flash several updates to get the newest one. The procedure to install the updates is also different to the method I linked above. I think you have to flash them via recovery. But I'm not sure about that.
My friend just want it keeping stock rom. No rooting. I downloaded that rom u post to me. Which is 2.3.6. I upgraded from sd card. 2.1 > 2.3.6 at once. It can boot ok. But i wonder if anything not right...

If I remember rightly it should be the newest unrooted stock rom. So if it boots successfully it should be fine. Why do you think anything is not right?

isn't there is 2.3.7 as latest? I know CM has it, not sure about stock though.
I felt not right because I could upgrade from the lowest version rom 2.1 to highest version rom at once... just like it's root and flashing rom.

Good question. I'm not sure about that. A quick Google search let me think that the latest version for the N1 is 2.3.6 and 2.3.7 were released exclusive for the Nexus S.

If your device was unrooted, it should still be. You just flashed the whole firmware at once via fastboot instead of applying every single update via OTA or recovery.

So 2.3.7 stock is only for Nexus S As I know 2.3.7 should be latest version of Gingerbread, right?

Yes you will be fine. I was running 2.12.405.7, rooted and S-OFF and installed this ROM right over it and didn't lose root or any of my installed apps either.
Just make sure you flash a Gingerbread radio after you flash the ROM to get your sound back.
Just a noob question: Why should i flash a new radio since i'm having Gingerbread 2.3.3 OS ?

Brilliant, I'll give it a go later, thanks. Already on a GB radio.
Any issues with this ROM? Probably not I realise as it's just a stock one. Just thought I'd give this a go as I think I'm going to wait until a stable CM7.1 comes out before I switch to that, and all the other ROM's seem to have niggling little problems of some form or another.

I debated long and hard about building this rooted, stock GB ROM and flashing it because IMHO the WWE stock Froyo 2.2 ROM was running just fine and didn't have any issues either.
Since 2.12 was the first 2.3.3 GB ROM and they soon followed it with 2.30, I figured whatever issues HTC had found on the GB IncS they corrected in 2.30, so I bite the bullet and built and flashed this ROM.
Agian IMHO it runs just as well as the Froyo ROM did and for my usage pattern, I can ususally get 2 days use out of a battery charge.

If you are currently running a Froyo ROM, then you need to flash a GB radio because a Froyo radio image does not work with a GB ROM and vice versa. At the time this ROM was built using the HTC Kitchen, it did not support adding a radio image to the zip file.
If you are currently running another custom GB ROM, then you already have a compatible GB radio and you can simply flash this ROM.
Just thought I'd update this thread to say I've just flashed this over the top of my rooted stock OTA rom, without wiping, and everything seems to be working fine. Thanks
Thank you for that..

Yes that is the same problem I'm having. I just downloaded the OTA and will investigate the update script. The new ROM has some extra img files that maybe we need to manually add to the kitchen setup folder to make a working ROM.
So I guess there's no hope for that new build.. (read a post of yours in another thread..)

There's always hope. When HTC gets around to releasing the IncS kernel code a workaround for running the ROM on older HBOOT version may be found.
Until then you can install the RUU, unlock it and then root it manually or flash one of the custom ROMs withs Sense 3.0/3.5

Hi All
I'm on 2.32.1010.1 GB 2.3.3 sense 2.1 this is Korean ROM but the main version is higher than wwe rom in this thread. I'm looking for lower mainver. I think this one will be good
Hm.. Megaupload falled down...
Can we have another one?
I have rooted my device, installed the clockworkmod and Cyanogenmod 7.2
As far as I know you can't install a original firmware update on a rooted device.
So what do I need to do to prepare it for the ICS update?
Superoneclick unroot? will that do the trick?
Unroot
Yes super one click will unroot your phone. But you must flash it with an original 2.3 stock version if you want to use LG tools to upgrade it. Another way to get it is to download the .kdz ROM when it will be released and put it on your device.
Anyway, until now, only the SU660 -the korean version of the o2x- is getting upgrades... Patience
The best is to keep it this way and flash one of the modded stock ROM ....

Ah okay, I thought you ment upgrading the official rom with LG-tool.
My Advice is to wat for the kernel source release.
It is said to be released 2 weeks afther the LG update.
Parandroid for O2x already has LG UI 3.0 + JB flavour. The only thing that lacks is video recording, hw acceleration and proprably other minor stuff.
So till the end of October, there will probably be CM9/CM10 release for O2x.

I did use CWM to flash this: v20q.zip file (stock firmware GB) and did factory reset everything.
I can still acces the special boot menu when holding the power button and vol down button.
But I don't think the device is rooted?
Is that true?
I installed a memory cleaner app and it told me that my device is not rooted so I can't acces all the options.
So flashing v20q.zip file also unroots the phone?

Honestly, there really isn't. Each rom has its own little quirky issues.
PAC has no gps and a goofy Hangouts crash, wifi doesn't like to connect after the screen comes on (turn off then back on)
AOSPA works fine for some, not for others, no wifi for some
Slim has no gps, radio signal is bad, random wifi disconnects (fix like PAC usually, sometimes needs reboot)
CM10.1 gps...
All may have occasional lag, wifi issues, gps issues, random bluetooth issues, no camcorder, no HDR camera -- regular and panorama work
Its hit or miss at the moment. One nightly will be fine, next has crap battery, next has better battery but image banding...
None of them suck, but they might not be for you if you dislike development roms that may be incomplete or have a bug or two. Really depends if the bug is a deal breaker or not.
I still go back to clean ROM or the 4.1.2 mex jb ROM everything works and the batt life is a lot better . Also you can install cwm through ROM manager in the play store . Just use the photon q version . I have been able to flash every ROM with it . Make sure you back up b4 you start installing ROMs .

By the way the captivate is running the way it comes form at&t .
Click the link below and read (to get the idea), then read again (to understand what you are doing), then do exactly what it says (to get what you want). Start with CyanogenMod Stable 10.1.2, it's the most popular custom ROM (may change it later to whatever you want 4.2.2 based). Don't flash Android 4.3 beta ROMs as your first custom ROM. You need to download Google Apps too, version for 4.2.2 ROMs. Don't forget to backup your data before upgrading. Good luck!

I see there is so called stock roms with boat ware removed but most seem to have lots of other changes are they really stable as in exactly like stock? I am also not sure how I know which one was my phones original stock. I bought it on eBay and it's had various roms flashed. So ideally I would like to have it unrooted and just the bloatware removed but maybe that's not possible so rooted and no bloatware would be ok. Thanks

I am also not sure how I know which one was my phones original stock. I bought it on eBay and it's had various roms flashed. So ideally I would like to have it unrooted and just the bloatware removed but maybe that's not possible so rooted and no bloatware would be ok. Thanks

Most of the stock roms in the development section are quite stable and all the info about removed bloatware is also stated in the threads of those roms.
You can find your original stock rom at http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ or http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=GT-I9305, according to your country and carrier (the country where you live is your official firmware, doesnt matter that you have bought it from ebay and what firmware it had on it before). After you download the firmware flash it with odin, but be warned about KNOX bootloader on 4.3 official firmwares! If youre not knoxed yet, you can update to 4.3 stock rom without getting the knox bootloader with this Rom.
If you prefer your own official firmware, you need to remove the bloatware by yourself using a file manager with root acces. Be careful with what you delete if you gonna do so! always READ EVERYTHING carefully and do lots of RESEARCH :good:

Yes thanks unfortunately I do have the Knox warranty void 1 message swerev a2 think it says as well I thought it might mean I'm in trouble. I hear you can't reset it so I can't go to any official firmwares now?
I really need stability I thought cm 10.1 would be stable but there's lots of crashes... by pretty stable you mean cm 10.1 pretty stable type thing for the boat ware removed roms? Want to find something near or as good as official...thanks.
EDIT: OK so hmm getting some mixed messages reading about it all but basically I went from 4.3 stock to cm11 then to carbon rom and finally to cm 10.1.3 so I think I can go back to stock 4.3 using any uk based stock from Sammobile? Not sure which would be best yet but I am with three so I might do the h3g one. Or possibly a rom with bloat removed 4.3 or above... Guess the warranty is gone now...and hopefully I'll be ok for any upgrades in the future...

I see your rom looks pretty good...is it super stable? So because I went to cm10.1.3 does that mean I can't go back to 4.3 based roms or only official? Thanks

What rom do you mean exactly?, I dont have a rom that i made myself yet..
you can go any time you want back to 4.3, custom or official doesnt matter both is possibble, just be rooted and have the latest philz recovery installed or any other recovery.

I meant the one in your Sig . I might try that then maybe end up on stock. One thing was I was hoping to be able to unroot it on stock as I have a banking app that won't run on rooted devices .

Oh you mean the sites of those official firmwares or the recoverys :good:
I actually have no idea how to unroot it except for flashing official firmware 4.3 with odin, but the bloatware wil still be there unfortunately unless you find another way to do this
Can't boot into recovery mode or anything on mtk 6575 device
My Tecno D5 which has an Mtk 6575 chipset
got bricked after installing a font app and I
decided to use mtk droid tool to flash an
automade cwm recovery on it while its still
bricked. To cut the story short, after the whole
process of using another similar devices boot.img
and recovery.img to flash the automade recovery
on my device, my phone won't even get to
stock recovery(all I get is just a blank white
page after the normal logo at boot) .It also gives
me this when I try booting up.... Pls!!! a swift
reply wouls be appreciated as I'm just a learner
at this.

Ok thanks and I meant this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/rom-amcha-rom-v5-00-simply-customizable-t2619670
Looks like a Rom. But does look a little more complex than usual ! I might try that first. But as long as it won't brick my device I might have to flash a stock and unroot depends on many things. Thanks.

On I'm on the same rom as your signatures rom. And nothings gone wrong so far. This might be the one for me! Fingers crossed.

personally i find amcha rom to be the most stable between the other 4.3 roms, using it almost 2 months and no fc's, freezes, random reboots etc. so far! :fingers-crossed:

Sounds good but I usually avoid new updates at first I prefer stability to a certain extent so you can't just update it? You have to do a fresh install? Anyway I'm on it now and it is very stable compared with the other roms I've used - very nice. Not sure if I did all the options correctly but I'll have to test...Still getting weird white patches on this xda form web pages in chrome...had this with every Rom I tried...not quiet so bad with this Rom but still there...strange only happens with this Web site too?!
