[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

FXZing back to stock from ICS, questions I have

I was going to go completely back to stock again from a Gummy ICS rom. I was wondering if I'm going to run into any issues from having my google account linked to the phone under ICS when I actually get back onto Gingerbread.
And FXZing will remove everything right? Internal SD card, root, etc, etc. It takes it back to what it was when I got it out of the box or when they sent the phone replacement to me right?
And one more question, I'm planning on re-rooting, but not put any custom ROMs on the phone again. When and if the Bionic gets the official ICS upgrade, will I need to FXZ it again or will I be able to recieve the OTA update while rooted if I don't remove/freeze any of the stock apps?
Oh, also I have safestrap installed as well, do I need to remove that or will the FXZ get that gone as well?

Yes. FXZ is a complete wipe of the internal flash memory of the phone. New partitions are re-established. Any factory fresh phone will have recently been FXZ'd so as to be blank and free of traces of previous ownership. The only thing an FXZ will not touch is a MicroSD card, if inserted into the phone.
And one more question, I'm planning on re-rooting, but not put any custom ROMs on the phone again. When and if the Bionic gets the official ICS upgrade, will I need to FXZ it again or will I be able to recieve the OTA update while rooted if I don't remove/freeze any of the stock apps?

You are correct. As long as all bloat is intact and unfrozen, Motorola's Update.zip files will install properly.
Of note, however, is that an ICS upgrade will certainly break root so make sure that there's an ICS root method available before taking the OTA for it.
Oh, also I have safestrap installed as well, do I need to remove that or will the FXZ get that gone as well?

FXZ's scrub the entire contents of the phone. That will get removed.

Thanks. Just wanted to be sure before I did it so I didn't screw up the phone.

Can someone post a Safestrap 4.1 Backup - solved

Hello
I have jb 4.1 with safestrap.
I accidentaly updated SU binaries on the Stock rom. Now my root is gone, but I can flash roms just fine. I have old version safestrap where you cant install on stock rom(even roms that have root). But I want root on the stock rom.
I think I can Restore to it.
If any of you can post the safestrap Backup image of a clean rooted install of stock 4.1 that is rooted, backed up from the stock rom slot, I'd be very happy.
Thanks.
This has been solved, read last post.

I'll try modifying a backup of my own... can you guys tell me what version of SuperUser binary is good for root?
If you can post your system/xbin/su or system/bin/su file and have working root on 4.1, that'll help too.

Re: Can someone post a Safestrap 4.1 Backup
If you have a backup, why don't you flash that?

My backup has a modified build.Prop and probably a few extra apps added into the system/app folder
I don't mind uploading it, I just don't know the best site to upload it to.

I dont have a backup, thats the problem. If you have a fast connect you can upload the whole, but only if you had it as stock_rom slot.

Try this and click the share button, then the link button. You dont need emails that way. Also it didnt work in firefox for me.

OK, he sent it, I'll try in a few.
EDIT 2:
IT WORKED!!!

No, I restored a rooted JB rom back because I lost it on stock JB rom.

He had an old version of safestrap that doesn't allow flashing on the stock, or safe, slot, so he was unable to simply flash a superuser zip.
But, by restoring a previously rooted safestrap system backup, root was regained.

Is AT&T stock ROM image still available?

Hi, saw this thread as a search result and while I think my issue is similar, I'm not sure, so if I need to post a new thread, I'd appreciate knowing that.
I have an Atrix HD with Batakang in slot 1 and of course the stock AT&T ROM in, well, the Stock slot. I have Safestrap 3.11. I wanted to unlock the phone for int'l use, and it simply would not give me the prompt to enter the unlock code (said "Invalid SIM" or something like that), so I left it with an AT&T dealer because the process should have been simple, but wasn't.
They couldn't do it either, but when I got the phone back, the entire 8GB ROM space was wiped! Batakang was gone, the Stock slot is empty, and unfortunately, the Safestrap backup I made of Stock (and left on the internal SD) was gone too!
I did have a Batakang backup which restored fine, I entered the unlock code OK in it (I assume that worked - there was no confirmation message), but still have an empty AT&T stock slot.
What ROM images I've found are not compatible with Safestrap, so what I'm looking for is either a Safestrap backup or a zip installer compatible with Safestrap, or any other suggestions appreciated! Thanks!

[Q] ow to flash Minimoto as default rom and uninstall safetrap into Verizon Droid 3

I have my Droid 3 working with the Stock rom and the safetrap using MiniMoto. Right now with all the changes I have made to it it works good, now I want to move it from safetrap to the phone as the default rom, I haven't found much info of going from safetrap to flash into the phone, any ideas?
As far as I know, I see that I would have to use the rsd, but I see that it flashes img files, I just have the zip file from the latest minimoto so... I am lost here.

AFAIK there is no way to transfer a rom from safestrap to the stock system.
As a thought, and I have no idea if this would work, if you're using safestrap 3+ it saves custom roms as image files on the sd and mounts then for use. Logically you could try flashing this image file using motofastboot but I'm just talking out my ass, so...
If you're on an older safestrap, I had an idea about this once, I'll see if I can find the post I wrote when I get off work. I never tried it but it made sense to me

I see...
So, just to be clear, to flash over stock it has to be an img file. The rom developer must have this option instead of zip? I'm looking to replace the stock rom with something less bloated like MiniMoto but as far as I see most of the Droid 3 roms apparently only run on Safestrap (I have the latest version 3.5) Damn I was looking to move all to the phone system so it would run a little bit faster
P.D.: Are there roms that could be flashed to replace the stock one then?

Any rom can be flashed over stock, just not worth safestrap. You need plain old bootstrap app. However that doesn't help you move an existing rom install(which is what I thought you were asking)
I don't use safestrap on my phone and have minimoto installed as my stock rom. Just be aware brick recovery can be more difficult as I've had issues getting back into cwm after flashing a rom. Rsdlite will still get you back to stock no problem though so not that big a deal
Here is a http://db.tt/rNhVQCsclink for bootstrap. You'll need to boot into stock system and completely remove safestrap before you install this. I like to rsdlite or fastboot to complete stock personally, but not strictly necessary. Safestrap backups are not compatible with cwm. I can't fully guarantee this bootstrap works. I use a milestone version(since I have the XT860).

So, to understand, I could flash minimoto over stock, but not use safestrap later? I had the idea to have flashed minimoto over stock and then a safestrap with other minimoto, if one fails I can go over the other and make changes accordingly. Bad or good idea?

Once you've flashed minimoto to stock you can remove the bootstrap and reinstall safestrap, yes. It seems redundant to have 2 versions of the same rom flashed to the phone, seems like less effort to just make sure to backup before making any changes, but it's your phone to do with as you will.
I don't use safestrap because I don't care about being able to reflash my phone. I hate this thing and am just waiting for it to die so I can replace it.

:cyclops::cyclops: is not such a bad phone, if it just had more ram it would be fine. But 512Mb is just not enough (never ever )

And it's stuck on gb. I can't listen to music and have my running app open. One of them will close due to lack of ram. Keyboard sucks ass on mine. Button presses only register half the time. Same for the capacitive keys. Apps often take up to 10 seconds to Open(probably because it needs to clear ram)

So, just to be sure (sorry for the delay, on monday I am officially on vacation so I was doing all the make up work that I had to do :fingers-crossed: )
I can flash minimoto over stock
Then install safe trap and install minimoto on the rom slot
Why?
Because I like minimoto and I have found that for this phone and my lifestyle it fits really well, the problem is that on safestrap mode I believe the lag is because he's reading some stuff from the sdcard and the internal memory (both I think and believe (I could be wrong, I am just an advanced user ) are slower than the reserved space for the rom itself), so I will start from scratch again install only the programs I really need on the phone rom and leave the safestrap rom for those scenarios where the phone is stuck on something.
Is that all virtually correct and possible, right?

I get lag using it on stock rom too. You may find some improvement by flashing it over stock. Safestrap mounts an image file as a loop device, which I have heard is slower, although I couldn't confirm that through googling. Android seems to start to lag over time, I find flashing fresh often gives improvements, then it slows down again, then flash again etc

[Q] Quick question about safestrap and ROM slots

If I understand safestrap correctly, at this time we can't use ROM slots other than stock. So when I flash a ROM, I have to use the stock slot, and I'm overwriting the original AT&T ROM. OK. So I should keep a copy of the original stock AT&T ROM on my SD card and flash that back to the stock ROM slot if I want to go back to regular old AT&T ROM.
If I want to flash something like Cerberus so that it's part of the system and isn't removable if someone steals my phone and wipes it, then I can simply go into safestrap and flash it, even over the unchanged AT&T ROM.
I should also ask, I have been using Xposed (wanam and others). Can I reinstalled Xposed now that I have installed safestrap?

I tried installing visix using a rom slot anyways. It worked fine for a day and then started acting very buggy. Had to go back to stock. I will hold off until we are told can use the rom slots. I much prefer that option vs completely removing stock.

you can go ahead and install xPosed however it has been reported that some modules can behave badly so just a tip to watch out for. I'm not 100% familiar with cerberus but i would think the drawback is if the thief knows how to use odin they can completely revert the device so all in all security software is great but if its stolen still best to call the carrier and have it blacklisted just my two cents.
