Nexus One: going from Cyanogen to original Roms, what Roms???

Which one of these images should I install on my nexus one that works with carrier Rogers?
developer.htc.com/
Nexus One (ERE36B) Official OS Image
Nexus One (EPE54B) Official OS Image
Nexus One FRF91 system image
Nexus One FRG83 system image
Nexus One FRG83 by HTC WebKit source code
Nexus One GRI40 system image

It doesn't mater which version of android you have your phone will work on Rogers either way although if you want the latest version then I would suggest getting 2.3.3 from htc and then upgrading to 2.3.4 via OTA.

you have a link I am stupid

GRI40 from the ones you've mentioned.
Or just read the Wiki and use Unroot/Restore guide with PASSIMG method, FRG83.

I dl'ed the GRI40 image, renamed it to update.zip, put it on the root of the sdcard, and when I apply/install it gives the following.
ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
This is basically what has happened on all images I have dl'ed and tried expect the cyanogen mod7, the 7.0.3-N1 installed just fine.

do you have the wiki url, there are many wiki's on the internet.

Click on my signature to go to Wiki.
You can't install GRI40 from custom recovery, you need a stock one (or just turn the signature verification off in recovery). Don't forget to wipe data before installing.
Or just use PASSIMG method, as I've suggested earlier.

SO there are 3 ways I can do it, which is better, are their plus or minis in either way.
1. You can't install GRI40 from custom recovery... turn the signature verification off in recovery).
2. >>>you need a stock one
where do I get a "stock one"
3. >>>Or just use PASSIMG method,
Is there a how-to-do on this method?
>>>Don't forget to wipe data before installing.
Is this documented some where as I don't know what this means.

Ok I am going over the Nexus One Wiki from your sig. Here seems to be the best way to go. Am I correct?
[ROM] Original Shipping - Tutoria
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614850
My objective is to get it set up some I am using the original software and have it updated to 2.3.4 and also so where there are additional updates I can do them over the wire.
Also at the bottom of the above link there is the following guide.
The following information came from user tuffCookie (for those with unlocked bootloader):
Should I used the tuffCookie guide if I have a unlocked bootloader? How do I have a unlocked bootloader?

Also my Nexus One will only work with Rogers. I have a working Bell and Telus SIM and they don't work. So it seems my phone is also SIM locked? I would also like to SIM unlock this phone. How do I do that?

You really should do some additional reading...
To get to a stock image, download the file from the first post of this thread and rename it to PASSIMG.zip, then place it in the root directory of your sdcard. Turn off your N1, then boot the phone by holding down the trackball and pushing the power button. Then follow the on-screen instructions. This will get you to a stock FRG83 ROM. You will then get the OTA updates to go to GRJ22.
Note: this will wipe your device (including your root access). To get root again, see the hundreds of post telling you how to do it.

Rogers does not sell the N1, so it is impossible that your N1 is SIM-locked to Rogers. I suspect that you have the T-Mobile version of the N1, not the AT&T version.
The T-mobile version has the following bands: 850, 900, 1800, 1900 for 2G, and 900, 1700, 2100 for 3G
The AT&T version has the following bands: 850, 900, 1800, 1900 for 2G and 850, 1900, 2100 for 3G.
Rogers supports 850, 1900 for 2G, and 850, 1900 for 3G.
Bell and Telus support nil for 2G and 850, 1900 for 3G.
You do the math...

Which region/country are you in? What is the version of HBOOT you have on your IncS?

I am in South America, I want to keep the band for 3G UMTS 850, my version is 1.13 hboot

Since you have HBOOT 1.13, just go to http://revolutionary.io and gain S-OFF on your phone and then you can flash any ROM you want. The process of S-OFF and rooting will not change your 3G bands. These are determined by hardware in the phone and nothing you flash can affect these frequencies.

is there any tutorial for this?, having the phone I can get s-off any rom without having to make a GoldCard? and finally after installing the rom, I can again have s-on the phone?, should be able to do OTA updates where s-on?
thanks for your help ...... and forgive so many questions, but do not want to fail in anything.

on the issue of model id, because they have another model debrand rom id and phone number of virgin has another, nothing happens with this situation?

OK, here is a link to the official HTC Gngerbread 2.30.405.1 Unbranded ROM that has been rooted for you. You should be able to flash this from recovery and not have to worry about the modelid error:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1168796

ok, I apply this rom the phone, but what about when a new ROM available via OTA detect the phone?, because apparently this is a custom ROM.

It is only custom because it is rooted and the way you flash and install it. It is 100% stock otherwise. You will get the notification that an OTA update is available with this ROM, but if you attempt to update with the OTA it will fail because you have a custom recovery in place.

Firmware/RUU questions for One Sprint variant

I just upgraded from the Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE, and it seems that the firmware/software system may have worked somewhat differently. You could download updates specifically for the Radio or the touchpad firmware for the LTE without changing your ROM. The One's updates seem to be only software? I ordered one of those plate glass screen covers for my One, and it wants software version 1.31+, while my One has 1.29.651.7. Sprint is trying to send me an update but since I have TWRD installed and I am s-off it doesnt install like it should. Should I be concerned? If I get a ROM that is based off of the 1.31 update is that enough on this phone or am I missing some firmware updates that will need to get done.

I have a AT&T HTC One, and I was wondering if it was possible to change it into the T-Mobile version. I found a thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358781 that allows you to change you HTC One into a GE Editon phone, and I was wondering it was possible to do the same so you can use T-Mobile stock on this device. Its a good idea, but I'm kinda new to the HTC Android phones, but I have experience with Windows Mobile HTC Devices. Is this possible ? Thanks...

Yes its possible, but you will need S-OFF. With s-off, you can change your cid/mid to t-mobile and run a t-mob ruu to convert your phone.

you need to be aware that converting to t-mobile is not foolproof
your AT&T phone has different hardware and does not have the same radio bands as t-mobile. What I mean is you can do the conversion but wifi calling wont work and you'll be missing the 1700 MHz UMTS AWS bands needed for LTE 4G and 3G on the t-mobile networks. the 700 MHz A-Block is also missing from the AT&T phone.
you can read all about it here > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile_US

Okay...I have a T-Mobile micro SIM in this phone and.it's using the at&t stock Rom on 4.2.2 and so far the device runs well on T-Mobile's LTE network. So what would be the risk of converting this to the GE edition ? Does the GE run the same hardware or does that one have different hardware too ? I'm not concerned about the WiFi calling on T-Mobile. I have unlimited everything on T-Mobile plus 3 GB of mobile hotspot data. So that wouldn't be an issue. What would not work as far as software on the T-Mobile ROM ?

if your phone is working fine on the t-mobile network (4G - LTE) you have no worries .. convert to anything you like
Where I am in central FL a converted AT&T to Tmobile would be stuck at 2G/EDGE data ... not good

It was a success ! Thank you very much ! WOOOT !!! Running on stock T-mobile ROM with 4.3 and downloading OTA 4.4.2

Now if I wanted to return my device back to stock with the bootlader and everything, how would I do that ? I changed my cid back to the orginal but considering I flashed a stock T-mobile ROM how do I go back to the oringal AT&T ROM with full OTA updates ? For some reason I can't get OTA's using this T-mobile ROM and I have no clue how to root a converted phone to change the MID number to get those OTA's....is there a way to root a converted phone that is still on the original at&t MID or would I have to go back to stock ROM re-root and the change the CID and MID and then do the conversion all over again to get T-mobile OTA's ? Please let me know...thanks.

1- There is no difference for the root method if you converted. Btw you root the rom, not the phone. So if you root a rom and then convert using a ruu you'll have to root again.
2- MID change require S-OFF, not root.

If you cant get network signals after unlock you should update the firmware (hboot,radio,sbl's...not the OS itself), i got mine working with this firmware 2.16.651.4
