I have been searching for awhile now, and just can't seem to find out what I need. I have a rooted N1 that I was running Kang-O-Roma's Latest Froyo build and Radio on it, but now need to get it back to stock with OTA updates. I flashed a the stock image that I got from the developers section, but still no updates. when the phone downloads an update it just restarts in recovery. I thought I may need to downgrade the radio, but no luck. I baught an Evo and am selling my beloved N1, but the person who baught it wants it completely stock, and able to get updates. he doesn't mind it being rooted if this is possible. Please help.

reboot the phone into bootloader then use the passimg file to return back to stock once this is done it should reboot into 2.1 then leave it alone till u see the update available or use the code to force the update then reboot and it should pop up within a few hours...
The update pops up, It downloads it, it even says what the update includes, but then when it tries to install, it restarts back into recovery mode, and doesnt' install the update. Is the update on the phone somewhere? I still have the froyo radio on the phone, because I cannot find and original Radio update Zip. Adb won't work on my new computer.
Did you get the stock recovery back in there or still using a custom one?
I loaded the stock image found in the developers section under original shipping, but it didn't downgrade the radio. I followed all of the instructions, but still, the update won't install. I have been searching and searching, but still can't come up with a solution.

no problem hope this works!
Ok, this should be my last question on this subject. under about phone it now says:
Model Number-
Nexus One
Firmware version-
2.1 update 1
Baseband version-
32.26.00.24U_4.04.00.03_2
Kernel version-
2.6.29-01117-g4bc62c2
[email protected] #1
Build number-
EPE76
As I recall EPE76 was a leaked ROM
I tried using 22607-ERD79-update-nexusone-stock-signed.zip and renaming it passimg.zip , but that didn't work. am I OK with the EPE76 build or do I need to get the ERD79 build on there to be?
A: get updates, and
B: truly be stock.
thanks again. I had no problem when I was trying cooked roms and updating radios and stuff. go figure this would be the thing to get me stuck.

@OP
If you're still have problems, this thread has all the files you need in the first post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614850
I bought my Nexus One off another member here, and he was kind enough to flash back to the original ERD79 before he sent me the phone but he didn't flash the stock recovery.img. I got the update to Froyo almost immediately after I turned the phone on, but it would not install. After flashing the stock recovery.img the OTA installed just fine

I tried installing this one, and it said "The main version is older" and then asked if I want to restart.

go root to 2.2 or 2.1.update 1 first then use it okay..
Now that you mention it I do remember seeing something about that, while I was searching for an answer to this dilemma. Thanks again, I'll let you know.

okay... will b around if needed..
ok ... i guess i should say that yes i did "search" about it and i just didn't find the answers that i was looking for ! that's why i ask it here..
so i rooted and apply the lagfix to my samsung captivate. now everytime if go to setting>software update . it just says that "no firmware" or "dm initialization is not ready" ! i know there is no update available for samsung captivate yet ( im on jh7) but when there is how can i update ??!!! and is it safe to update ? how do i restore back to original setting ? (sorry i used iphone for so long and i am still not used to this phone yet ) what i needed to know is how do u restore this phone if something goes wrong ?! i messed up my iphone several times but it was no problem ! all i had to do was fire up itune and hit restore...!
Are you using the voodoo lagfix? If yeah..then you would want to disable that and restore a stock kernel before you do any future updates. Then reinstall it after. If something ever goes wrong with your phone, you can always put the phone in download mode and flash a stockRom with odin.
Well eveytime I check for update it said no firmware . It doesn't even go to menu and say checking for new update from att server and all that ! Is that normal ? And I don't know what lagfix I'm using. I download it from here and it has a shortcut with the name of SL4A and I installed the lagfix-ext4.sh from its options

I am new to the Android world and just got a Captivate rooted it using UNLEASH THE BEAST V0.2 from this Forum.
Now I cannot update the phone with the new AT&T fix and could not find a place explaining how to do it. I read the tread above about restore a stock kernel, flash a stockRom with odin.
Can someone be kind to explain that and maybe put a link up of a tutorial.
I would really appreciate that and hopefully get my phone updated.
By the way my firmware version is 2.1

That is the Odin one click downloader- it restores your phone to stock, make sure you make a back up first because it WILL erase everything in the process. The thread should have adequate instructions as well
Zilch25 I will do that. I appreciate your help.
Thanks
Worked like a charm! Thank you
Hi, I am extremely new to the Android scene, been using an Iphone and got the Captivate when it came out.
Now I am in india and trying to unlock the phone for use on Vodafone.
** I successfully installed the 2.2 update.
** Tried to install the root update.zip but in recovery mode couldnt select the right option so needed to redo the 2.2 update.
** Searched and found that the 2.2 is for regular galaxy S with hard buttons and we need to update the kernel with some of the fixes for captivate which I found on this forum. The v1.3 file with Voodoo and bln and lagfix is one without odin file, so again searched and found that I can install that file using Rom Manager.
** Downloaded the Rom Manager and updated it to the latest version app and tried to Install ROM from SD Card, I selected this zip file i got from one of the threads on this site for v1.3 fixes. But the problem is that the app doesnt do anything it is suppose. I read it should reboot and install this rom but it just took me back to the list of files to select rom and didnt do anything.
What am I doing wrong.
I would really appreciate if someone could help me. I spent the last 5 hrs trying to figure this out
Thanks a ton in advance.

Quite possibly
I thought I will upgrade the phone first, apply the fixes for the kernel and once I have rooted the phone, I could unlock it.
Is that process flow not possible. Do I have to unlock first, then update and then root.
The problem still remains, when I successfully upgraded to the official 2.2 version(again found it from a search: http://www.techlivez.com/2010/07/how-to-upgrade-galaxy-s-to-android-2-2-tutorial/)
I cant goto restore menu and select anything. So after searching for a solution I found that all I need to do is put in a new kernel using ROM Manager and which is what I tried.
But ROM Manager didnt do what it said it would.

I understand rooting and unlock are 2 different things, just like how jailbreak and unlock on the iphone were, but I thought I could follow: Upgrade to 2.2->Update Kernel->Unlock procedure.

I can try that as well, so you are saying once I unlock on 2.1 and root it, upgrade to 2.2 would automatically make the phone unlocked and rooted? or would I have to repeat any of the 2 steps again.
Thanks for your patience.
Once on stock you will be able to save the fikes that hold the unlock code.
If you go back to 2.2 you will have to paste those fikes back where they belong.

Hi,
I have bought a new nexus one, it is unlocked from HTC and runs on 2.1, my question is how do i update it manually to 2.3.4?
I am new at this so if you explain clearly so i don't mess up.
Thanks inadvance
First you open your browser and go to google. Then you type in Nexus One manual update.
Welcome Masantula!
First of all, read the wikis and the FAQ guides available on XDA forums. There is a lot of information available that can help you get started.
Did you just want to update to stock 2.3.4 ROM? It would help if you could provide more information on your Nexus One.
Go to Settings>About Phone then post back with the Baseband version and, kernel version and build number details.
It would be great to know if you have a AMOLED or SLCD version of the Nexus One. The updating process is slightly different from my own experience. To find out, switch off your phone then restart it again by holding down the vol down button first then power on. You should see a page with three androids on skateboards, have a look then you should see details of MICROP. Is yours 0b15 (AMOLED) or 0c15 (SLCD)?
Can't he just type *#*#2432546#*#* ?
Read my signature, look there for "Unroot/restore" guide, PASSIMG method, using FRG83. Execute, and you'll be on 2.2.1 (if you're not already). From that point, just wait until you get the update OTA.

Hi Philip.
Go to the link below and follow the instructions under PASSIMG method, using FRG83. Once you do that than you will be on stock Froyo (2.2.1).
After this you can check your phone for a new OTA update, current one out is 2.3.4.
If you don't get the OTA update go to the link below to know how to manual update your phone to 2.3.3 and than 2.3.4. Start with 2.3.3 followed by 2.3.4

Hi guys!
I noticed today that there were a system update for my optimus 2x.
But after it downloaded it said validating software package and returned an error stating that the package was invalid..
Has anyone else bumped into this problem? Is it because my phone is rooted?
It is otherwise stock.
Thank you so much for your help!

I looked at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021554&page=2

Thanks!

Hi and thanks for the answer!
you see, my phone is already rooted. I need to unroot it in order to get the latest update from LG installed on my phone.
The reason for this is that when i download the update OTA and try to install it, i get an error message stating that i have a invalid software package.
And the reason for this as i understand, is that the phone is rooted.
i have read the roll up thread you linked to, but it does not state anywhere how to unroot the phone. And thats what i need help to do
Use smartflash and put some older version on it, then update it to current version. It will be unrooted.
Thank you for the answer, will try that!
But im struggling a bit to find the older versions though. The links to them are either down or broken. I need the EUR version.
You can flash stock v20q via cwm. If you said that your phone is rooted, install cwm and then flash this stock v20q.
If you want to downgrade, then update using lg update tool, you need smartflash and some older firmware like Euro v10d.
You need to read and search, really, all is here on the site.
At least press the thanks button if my posts are helping you, it is right here.
Thank you for the reply.
I will flash with the v20q one you mentioned. Its the version im trying to upgrade to anyway, så this seems better instead of downgrading it to stock, then upgrading using OTA!
