[HOW-TO] Updating Nexus One If You Are NOT Rooted

I know this does not really belong to development but I figured most of the people who want to do the update will come here... Please move the thread if you deem fit, mods ^^.
Anyway, I can't confirm if the method works since I'm rooted myself, but have found the following:
Hi,
I have found out a way to update the Nexus One to the new OTA that Google is pushing through, the one including multi-touch everywhere.
Go to the URL below:
http://www.mediafire.com/?rgnjl4hqmmi
and download.
Then save on to your sd card, not in any folders, and rename it update.zip (windows users just rename it update, .zip will come by itself)
1) Turn off your phone.
2) Turn on by holding down Power and the Trackball
3)Select Bootloader (Selection instructions on the top of screen)
4)Select recovery
5)An Android-Bot will come standing next to an open box
6)Press down Power and Volume Up
7)Select apply update.zip
8) Enjoy!

Also, in case you don't trust the MediaFire link, here's the Google One: http://bit.ly/9vvioF
Hope it helps.

I can confirm this method works for non root users. The MT is awesome, to say the least.

When I select recovery it shows a picture of an android next to a triangle with an exclamation point in it. I renamed the file and put it in the sd card, what am i doing wrong?

Did you try pressing power and vol up at this stage? #5 isn't really a step, it just happens. I figured this was a given, but I guess not.

Ya I had assumed that after selecting recovery the android should be next to a box but i did vol up and power down. It is working so far!

I've downloaded the file twice and I'm getting a caution icon with the android-bot. Any ideas as to what could be wrong?
I've also use two different sdcards.
Thanks for any assistance.

I got the same thing...while at that screen, just did the volume up and power button and it gave me the option to install it.

hi Unicellular,
can you be more specific, i have also the same problem, and could not see any bot near a box, after selecting recovery first colored cross is seen then a bot with a triangle comes up.

Does this use the new kernel?

Thanks!! It worked.
I think I had the caution icon because of the following.
E:Can't open /cashe/recovery/command
System is back up with multi-touch goodness.

what do you mean?
"The one including multitouch everywhere??"
the multitouch for me only works in the browser maps and the gallery
is there on that includes a multitouch everywhere??

lazoman. I was at the screen with the caution and android-bot too.
It's not really a quick press of "Vol. Up + power button" I kinda just spammed both buttons until it worked.

This update took away the haptic feedback when I press the little dots in the main screen to go 'left' or 'right'. Anyone know how to get it back again?

Does this update also apply the new radio update?

Does this method void the warranty or violate the TOS?

What about rooted devices ?
Why can`t i use this update if my phone is rooted ?

LG P970 won´t start!

Since yesterday I have the following problem:
If I take my OB from the power plug and close the screen with the "lock" - button (top right) to turn off, the Screen remains black.
I can press any key but nothing happens!
Only when I take the battery out and re-launch it works again OB. At least until I turn off the screen again. However, the mobile is connected to the AC adapter or via USB connected to the PC, I have no problems until now!
I hope anyone cold help me!

At least you also mention your system configuration, Stock ROM, CM build, kernel, etc.

I´m using the CM71 Nightly withe the Nova2.6.35.7 v11c Kernel. The build No. is GWK74.

Can you take logs? First you have to activate log module via Nova Application, then reboot.

I made the log file.
Where can i find it to post it here? By the way: sometimes my phone shows me the cwm bootscreen but i´ve done nothing to reboot!!! Its like i discribe in the first post.

Yes, here? upload it to pastebin, dropbox, box.net or else. If you can't post link because having less post, remove your http:// at front of your link, or code it with
Code:

I mean where can i find the logfile? Where is it stored on my phone?

Ouw, sorry, you can catch log with app, like this one https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nolanlawson.logcat
Make record with it, then reproduce your problem..

try to set it first
maybe that triggers the problem

I can´t reproduce it by myself. it happens when my phone want it to do!

okay lemme get this straight
aprold said (i believe i red it somewhere), when the first time you flash his v11 kernel, the G button wasn't assign to anywhere
and when you reboot, the system replace the keylayout with his keylayout
with the null G button variable, i believe this make an error and create an empty keylayout to the hard button
at least that's what i tought

Ok! i´ll try it! Where can i change the setting of the "G" button? is it in the Nova menu?

yes,it's on the Nova Setting
but i'm not saying it'll work 100%
just trying to help

It looks like it is working! Let´s see what happen the next few minutes/hours/days!
Thank u all!!!

It was the G button! Thank u guys for the great help!!!

You probably disabled animations in the developer's options. Just enable them to fix this

Can you make a Screenshot of the box? So then we can better help you if you want know that you have a original Samsung phone, unplug your battery and then you will see on the back page of your phone the product model, serial number, IMEI etc.
