got my n1 2 months back, was on stock for the first month and then rooted and ran custom rom without unlocking the bootloader. after going thru many posts, i feel it would be better to unlock the bootloader. so after i do "fastboot oem unlock" , eveything will be wiped. so does this mean that i would be back on stock rom,recovery ?
and do i need to root again ?
Data will be wiped. Recovery and ROM will be the same. I too rooted and ran cm7 for a long time before unlocking the bootloader.
Easiest way would be to boot into recovery, do a nandroid backup.
Unlock the bootloader, boot back into recovery and nandroid restore.
thanx for ur quick reply baseballfanz . i have made a nandroid backup of my current rom. would i need to root it again or just boot in to recovery and restore it?

Since it is pre-rooted, I see no need of re-rooting before re-applying the nandroid backup.

So backup then unlock then restore is enough right?

Like theshawty said, once you restore the nandroid you're back with a rooted ROM already. No need to do anything further.

Sure thing. Remember, if you did a full nandroid backup, then a full nandroid restore, you're restoring your exact ROM as if you never did anything to it.
Thanx guys :thumbup: .
Will do as u ppl said and report back once i am done.

hi guys jus nw unlocked my bootloader following ur steps. infact it was so easy than i thought . backingup,unlocking n restoring all took about 15 mins.
and my phone looks exactly hw it was before unlocking the bootloader (call log,msg, notes, calendar)
Thanx to CWM recovery, it was so simple and great.
Edit: i am still S-ON. I thought unlocking gives me S-OFF?
You don't need S-off on the N1, unlocking the bootloader gives you pretty much the same result...
Thanx DR. Glad to knw

Install STOCK rom and root it, then restore your TA. It is very important that you flash stock rom. Do not use custom rom or custom kernel. If you have 10.3.1.A.2.67 or 10.3.1.A.0.244(more easy to root) firmware, install it and root it. What tool did you use to make your TA backup?
To root 10.3.1.A.2.67/74 firmware read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2386405

Yes, install stock rom and then root it and make sure you have root before you restore your TA. In the Backup-TA tool you have one option called, Restore dry-run... use that one to test your TA before you restore it, to make sure you don't get any errors

Yes you can restore it on any stock ROM you want. Just make sure everything is stock.
Hi. I have unlocked bootloader, so i Lost ota update, and i don't do a TA backup.... So how can i upgrade firmware without reflash the whole software?
All I can think of is a backup of data partition if you have TWRP and then do a full system flash. Otherwise you could back-up your own personal information using other apps and then flash and then restore ( I do it this way ) as it's the easiest and I've never had any issues with personal data being lost.

What I need to backup to try a different custom ROM and how I can restore it?
Should I need to remove any screen unlock before backupping in order to be able to restore?
Thanks.
You should backup everything of your current rom for restore it in case your phone get bricked while flashing an incompatible rom or missing any step from the rom flashing procedure

Ty, could you be more specific among all options available in backup menu?
What about my question about disabling screen unlock?
Yes you must disable your screen lock in order to be decrypted
