Nexus One Official/OTA Roms and Software in 2019 - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've always wanted a Nexus one and bought one, but I can't find software or the original Roms. If anyone could provide helpful links to either or both I'd appreciate it.
I'd like to stay away from Rooting and flashing custom ROMS, but if I'm left with no other alternatives, please make recommendations while trying to keep with as much stock as possible. Thanks.

If you're looking for official ROMs, it seems like Google has taken them off their support page. I haven't been able to find them either.
The most popular custom ROM is CyanogenMod. While the servers of the ROM have been shut down, there is still hope, as the website is archived here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20161224194030/https://www.cyanogenmod.org/​
The wiki, likewise, is backed up, and the page for the Nexus One is here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20161224232137/https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Passion_Info​
I highly recommend you choose Stable. As the page says, every issue is resolved with that build. You should be taken to a download page; use the topmost one, the one named "cm-7.2.0-passion.zip (87.19 MB)". The build will take a while to download. If the download fails, wait 10 minutes and try again - the Wayback Archive may have other people downloading other files from bygone eras.
After you have done that, look at this page, which will explain the process in detail.
https://web.archive.org/web/20161224201525/https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_passion​Read it carefully. Click on the referenced links and read through them to make sure you have a good understanding of the material. The recovery can be downloaded in the "Installing a custom recovery using fastboot" section, in step two. Just click on the link saying "Recovery: Download".
NOTE: It's been a long time since I modified Android in any fashion, so I cannot help you with the fastboot and ADB installation if you are running Windows. I also do not know the exact steps to enable USB debugging for such an old phone.
I hope that all of these resources help you.

same here, I found a good condition nexus one with 2.1 I've found an update to 2.2 but I can't find any other OTA zips anyone has them stored on an old hard drive?

I suggest you follow the guide for CyanogenMod I posted. However, if you want to find the stock ROMs...
I found a dump of all Nexus One ROMs, from 2010. Just wanted to put it out there: if your Nexus One was made after 2011, it will not work. You mention that it has 2.1 so it likely was made before 2011. To check your phone's screen type, boot into the bootloader with TRACKBALL + POWER and check your MICROP version:
0b15 is AMOLED
0c15 is SLCD
https://www.mediafire.com/n1passion
If your device is 0b15 - the older model, then by all means flash away. Just download a copy of your existing ROM first! Go to Settings -> About Phone -> scroll to Build Number and transcribe it into a Word Doc. Then find the f8ile with the EXACT same combination of letters and numbers.

I don't have any 2.3.6/Gingerbread update files here, unfortunately.
I've checked the forum for signs of a Gingerbread OTA thread. There are many of these, but the links for the files are all dead.
I believe that if you REALLY want to get Android 2.3.6 on your Nexus One, the best option is CyanogenMod. (unless you made a nandroid/snapshot backup of the Nexus One before installing CyanogenMod or whatever you chose).

I don't think it's meant to be extracted (not really sure).
The thread says to rename the archive to "PASSIMG.ZIP" and place it onto an SD Card. Then put the SD Card into your phone. Afterwards- copy-pasted from the thread:
Power down your phone.
Hold VoLume Up +Power to boot into Recovery. Select "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" Select Yes. Then choose Reboot System Now.
Hold down the Volume Down + Power.
A screen should appear showing your phone's system searching for various files. This will take up to 2 minutes.
The phone will ask you if you want to start the update. Press the Volume Up button to start the update.
If you followed these steps correctly - congratulations, you are now on stock 2.3.6 ROM.
I just hope it works...

I started reading through that, downloading the files that it said to download but I'm stuck at the "1.6 Recovery Image" file. The link goes to a page that offers files for the Android DevPhone, but I just have a normal TMobile G1. What file am I supposed to use?

Ok, thanks, but... I'm still a bit confused: all the instructions I've seen for upgrading to Android 2.1 say to use cyanogenmod, but the cyanogenmod site says that it is based on Android 1.6 (according to cyanogenmod.com/about), so is that really what I'm supposed to use?

I apologize, stupid SEO plugin was rewriting the url and messing up a seperate plugin. Links are now working if you still need to upgrade.
My tutorial shows you how to root and upgrade everything and install cyanogenmod 4.2.15.1 if you want to try the 2.1 version which is in testing, go to the cyanogenmod repository on my site, go into the testing folder for the G1 and download that rom instead. Use that rom instead of 4.2.15.1 as the final step.

Follow the directions on the main post.
If you have gtalk pm me your gtalk email and I'll try and step you through it if you absolutely can't figure it out.
Thanks for all the answers! I think I have a good understanding of what I need to do now, so here goes...
*crosses fingers*
I'm following the instructions on myhangoutonline.com.
Well, so far so good, with some minor hiccups:
During the downgrade your phone step, when the phone says "Press the action key" after step 6, it's talking about the trackball button. Took me a little while to figure that out.
However, after I pressed it, it just went back to the initial multicolor gradient screen, with the addition of a line in the middle that said "Serial0". (maybe it was there before, but I missed it?) I ended up having to pull the battery because I could figure out how to make it reboot.
After reboot I had to go through the Google sign in process. Not a big deal, but it'd be nice to mention that this is necessary.
Upgrading recovery seemed to go pretty much as described. On to the apparent dangerous step of upgrading the radio & spl!
Uh oh! It looks like something didn't work. I started up in recovery mode, but there's no option in the menu for "Mount SD card".
I tried going to console, then "ls /sdcard", but no files show up, and /sdcard doesn't show up as a mounted filesystem when I run "mount".
I couldn't figure out how to get out of the console ("exit" just took me back to a "press enter" prompt, and then back into the console), so I ended up pulling the battery again.
Now what? Should I try upgrading recovery again?

2.2 Froyo EPE54B?

greetings,
my n1 is Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Build number: EPE54B
US AT&T Version.
never rooted or anything. stock.
will the update.zip 2.2 update work for me?
Thanks in advance.
Same here too!!!!! I WANT my upgrade to FROYO 2.2!!!!!
99% sure you need EPE27.
See my thread, I'm getting an error trying to update from stock recovery via EPE54B.
Same problem with my nexus one.
My buildnumber is EPE54B too.
How to handle this?
At this point, you need to root.
Hey coolbho3000,
how to root..as I am also under EPE54B. Can you guide all of us to a link or some documents where we can read and understand this.
I am new to this Nexus one thing..and recently got my new phone.
Would appreciate your help...
and why we have to root to update anything....as I think rooting will void the warranty
and where we can find the build numbers details..and what is the latest build which google has released..as I bought the phone 2 months ago only..
really appreciate your help..
Sadly you cannot do it without unlocking your bootloader it seems, and that does void your (Software) warranty it seems... So there you have it! We must just be patient
be patient guys,
Me and my pal got our n1's together, I rooted my one but he didnt and now his one is having problems (blank screen even though it goes to recovery and bootloader). He sent his one to get a replacement, I am gonna be screwed if anything happens to mine though :S
so be patient and you will get your froyo and eat it too, very soon.

Nonsense. You can boot into recovery and flash the original google update.zip.
edit, okay, I'm not sure. It will work from 27, but I'm unsure if it works for 54, misread that part.
A little guide:
- Download the file from the google servers. (I can't post the link, but it is everywhere.)
- Copy to the root of your SD card and rename to update.zip.
- Turn off your phone
- Boot into bootloader by holding vol down + trackball + powerbutton
- Wait for the green text to come and disapear
- Select recovery
- You will see a triangle, now hold vol up + power
- Select something with update.zip (not sure what the exact sentence is, you can't miss it.)

That works only on the stock ERE27.
AT&T/Rogers/Vodafone Nexus Ones have a different build. In this case you'll either have to wait or root your device.
Looks like I'm playing the waiting game then.

54?
Alright could I just get an answer as to why my t mobile nexus one has a build number off the 54? I'm rooted and was running cyanogen, but I thought that should have shown a different build number? Well either way, I have froyo now but i was just confused...I'm probably just missing something
Hey, I just read an article at Android and Me where they claim there is a new update for EPE54B build. Go check it out, I . http://androidandme.com/2010/06/news...update-frf85b/
I already installed it and works like a charm. The instructions for a manual install are there.

[Q] Basic ROM required for Nexus One

Sorry for such a Noob question.
I would like to download the basic stock rom for the N1.
My wifes N1 is not working correctly & she only uses basic features on the phone so i would like to flash it with the original stock rom.
Also at the moment we cannot turn the mobile internet off either.
PLEASE HELPPPPPPP
Bart
Here is the latest stock release in all it's options:
http://android.modaco.com/content/g...build-info-and-repacks-stock-rooted-deodexed/
The bottom most link sounds like the one you're looking for.
thank you so much for that
is flashing the rom on this the same as it would be for a Hero using HTC Sync on your computer?
if not please point me to a guide
my assumption from what i can see is that with this i dont need to root the phone or anything like that, is that right?
Hi sorry guys I still really need some help here.
I have managed to download the ROM as suggested but Im so confused from reading the different tutorials on how to actually flash the phone to revert it back to the stock rom.
I have seen the below tut would you advise using this?
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614850
however i do not know what these terms mean
adb reboot bootloader
Confirm fastboot connection fastboot devices
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
is fastboot where you hold the trackball down & then turn the device on giving you the sub menu?
sorry for the noob questions but i really need to get this phone sorted
Many thanks
Bart
There's a much simpler way to return to stock.
Download FRF91 from http://developer.htc.com
Rename to passimg.zip and copy to the root of the SD card.
Hold Vol- and power on the phone, it will find the file and ask if you wish to install. Job done.
Rusty
Thank you so much, you may save me from a divorce & a headache.
The internet truly makes the world a smaller place.
Thank you again so much sir
hi followed followed the steps & the phone doenst find the passimg.zip file when it reboots
i renamed the original zipped file to passimg.zip & put it on the sc card
also tried to extract the original file that i downloaded into another folder, renamed that to passimg.zip & put on the root of sd card.
neither method seemed to work as when i rebooted the phone with Vol - key held it didnt recognise or find the file
i just get the fastboot menu
Please help
Check it's not called passimg.zip.zip
Quite common
thanks mate i checked that
i ensured that i could see the extension before i renamed the file
so the file is def renamed passimg.zip
please confirm that i needed to just rename the downloaded zip file & not extract the file & then zip it
what else can i check please
thanks Rusty

What ROM is on her phone currently? Is it rooted? Is the bootloader unlocked? These are all important questions =)
phone is running 2.2.1 at the mo
phone is not rooted or anything unlocked, she has only received the over the air updates to the phone but done nothing else.
I think that the issues she's been having have occurded since the last update.
when she first had the phone it worked a treat
thanks for your help guys
Well in that case she *is* on a basic stock ROM. What problems are happening on her phone?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
the keyboard often would just stop responding
the internet would work and then not work
overall the phone would be working a lot slower than when she originally got it which is why I want to revert it to the stock Rom
Just factory reset it
ok I tried to do a factory reset but that's just wipes all the data right and doesn't actually reset the software version
I have done this by using the option within the phone menu and then also done this by using the clear storage option from the fastboot menu and again it only clears the phone's data and not reset the Rom to original
Again, you already have a stock ROM! It's the newest version but it's definitely stock unless you made any egregious mistakes during the upgrade or made any modifications yourself. You've said it was never rooted, hence I must conclude that it's as stock as it's going to get.

As the bloke above me says, its already as original as it's going to get!
ok guys sorry about this, its probably down to my mis communication, I want to reset the phone to firmware version 2.1 which is what it came with as it was working fine then. I thought this is what was meant by returning to original stock Rom.
apologies for the mis com
how do I reset it to original firmware 2.1
Even if you did, it will bug you to update all the time.
You need a passimg file, the original one for the N1 (ERD79) can be found on shipped-roms.com
Rename it to passimg.zip, put it on the root of the SD card and power on the phone holding Vol- it will find the file and ask if you want to update.

If anyone has any questions on how to s-off, root, and flash the Virtuous Unity 1.27.

Hey there, I flashed my IS into a sense 3.0 gingerbread 2.3 ROM. It took me 3 days LMAO
I know that when I was doing it I needed all the help I could get.
If anyone wants to know how I did it to help you on your way than reply.
I will be happy to help.
Please note that I only know how to do what "I" did. I am not an expert in any way..and only know how to help with getting the **Virtuous Unity 1.27.0 Sense 3.0 based on Pyramid** onto your phone.
Happy Flashing!!! I am very happy with this ROM ... It is the best one out there taken from the official shipping release of HTC.

Ah, but how do you know it's the best one if it's the only one you've used?
Because it has many good reviews. It its the best one in terms of getting the sense 3.0 and gingerbread 2.3. Which is what the new HTC Sensation has. Also it is a shippping release which pretty much means that it is the real deal.
Ok, for reference, what did you do. Already S OFF and rooted. Does the new MOD have better battery performance?
I am on my way to work as of now and will copy and paste what I had done later. I am noticing right now that the battery is not the most optimal. But we will see. I flashed virtuous unity BTW. Sense 3.0 with 2.3 gingerbread

You need to S-OFF your phone (otherwise it wont work) This is the first step:
(1) GoHere...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XshvRmAcgm8 This is an awesome youtube video of how to S-OFF with AlpharevX
** After that you need to install the CWM recovery but first (instead of looking at alpharevX's difficult instruction) Do THIS:
(2) Go here(easy step)
** http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XshvRmAcgm8
This will give you instructions on downloading a Flasher. What that does is flash certain things onto your device while its plugged in.
**Once you have downloaded that, go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=14693680 (only download the recovery image for Incredible S)
It is the 3rd step I do believe.
When you are done downloading it. Go into the file and grab the file called recovery (image file) and drag it to your "downloads" folder.
**Open up Android Flash 1.8 and plug in your device. Click on Recovery on the left hand side. It will prompt you to a folder (it wants you to open the Recovery image file I told you to place in "downloads") Either way....find that file!!
Click on the file and Android flasher will do the rest.
Im pretty sure it boots your screen for you but if it doesnt
YOU NOW HAVE CLOCKWORKMODE RECOVERY
To see if you successfully downloaded it:
** Power down your phone
**Press and hold the DOWN volume and POWER button
**Move the volume up and down keys to select "RECOVERY" it is second down I do believe
**Press the POWER button to select "Recovery"
**You will now be prompted to a screen witch is CMW recovery.
After that go to the "reboot" option.
(3) To ROOT your phone(last step)
Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=14693680
Just follow thier instructions. Its pretty easy!
After that you will want to download this recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1104765 It works the best with the flashing ROMS. If you feel comfortable downloading this recovery first than it is up to you. Like I said I downloaded the clockworkmode recovery first so that I can get the phone rooted via AlphaRev's instructions. Any questions???

Are you running many apps, using auto sync and a live wallpaper? Really like what the stock ROM has to offer including the Sense, just want better battery performance which I suppose every smartphone owner wants in the end

So flashing the actual ROM wasn't a problem? I take it you don't have to S OFF the radio in order to flash a new radio with this ROM to get the best out of it?

No flashing the ROM isnt the problem. If you have to get a radio for the ROM than that is apparently the most trickiest part. Please do it with caution and read instructions carefully. You need to S-OFF to get a ROM...and I am pretty sure you need to ROOT to get a rom aswell. Sorry about the links..I have no idea why they are broken. I will try to find them.

If you like the stock ROM then I suggest Android Revolution HD. It's built from the IS stock release but with bloatware removed, optimised for better battery life and more customisable. Virtuous Unity ROM gets you Sense 3.0, but that comes with higher power demands thanks to all the extra fancy graphics and such.
Oh, and for reference, you don't necessarily need radio S-OFF to flash a new radio, but you do need to do it carefully as you can brick your phone if you don't follow the correct process exactly.
Thanks. I have been undecided on weather or not to flash ARHD. When you say carefully, do you mean following the his flashing procedure step by step, or are you refering to flashing the radio? Obviously want to flash the radio to get the most out of the ROM.
Yeah I mean follow instructions carefully. What I used was ask. Its not too difficult but you have to read. Go and Google sdk. Download it, u are going to have to retrieve your drivers for ur phone. But just follow the instructions on downloading sdk etc... I will put up a link of where I got it from. You just have to follow instructions that's all..and yes the radio is needed if you are upgrading to gingerbread when flashing a new rom.

HTC DESIRE 510 64bit STOCK REVERT

Hey, I am trying to revert my HTC desire 510 to stock, i do not have a backup. I found files on the htcdev.com and thought they were Roms (easy catch). Unfortunately they are not. I don't even know what to do with these files in order to get my ROM in place.
My device is a 64bit, was running UK Vodafone rom. i need to get that back on. Need help here...
That up there, old...... I got the solution, thanks to the developers that helped me. Am now posting the links here. Choose which your phone is based on. The link includes different RUU's, not only that of Vodafone.
https://mega.nz/#fm/95YHUAQT
i have been told that the upper link doesnt work, try this...... https://mega.co.nz/#F!3Zo10Zya!-NbM_2RWWecFlc5mH9bLbA
I did not upload anything, so i will not take credit for that job. On the other hand, i will take credit for widely sharing. (Easy Find)
Best way of downloading is having the Mega downloader app on your computer.
Tested and approved for share. I thank all the developers out there. FYI, the RUU's do not exist on the htc.com/uk site. I do not know why. Those of x86 have theres on htc.com/us site.
Hit THanks
ADDITION
The HTC Desire 510 x64 Rom has been debloated, thanx to the developers that have been working on this.

HOW TO INSTALL:
What is changed?
Not much is changed.
Bellow are the app replacements I made:
1. Sense Home ---> NOVA Launcher
2. Sense Messages ---> Google Messages (Material Design)
3. Sense Calculator ---> Xlythe Calculator (Material Design)
4. Sense Calendar ---> Google Calendar (Material Design)
5. Sense Clock ---> Google Clock (Material Design)
6. Sense File Manager ---> ES File Explorer
7. Sense Weather ---> AccuWeather
4. Sense Keyboard ---> Google Keyboard
He removed a lot of HTCs and Google’s useless apps and other things, that are taking up space and resources.
From Google apps you have left:
1. Google Play Store
2. Google Chrome
3. Google Play Games
4. Google Drive
4. YouTube
5. All other background apps and services that are required for the Google apps to function properly.
From HTC apps you have left:
1. Camera app
2. FM Radio
3. Gallery (I couldn't find a decent replacement)
4. Music
5. Photo Editor
6. LockScreen
He removed the HTC Browser, Zoe, E-mail and other useless stuff from HTC.
He has included:
1. Clean Master Lite - It's much faster than the full blown app and gets the job done. Lots of people hate it but it works like a charm on this device.
2. DiskInfo - With this little app you can see all of the partitions on your device. Regardless if you are S-ON or S-OFF.
3. Glim Lite - A set of beautiful Material design icons for NOVA launcher.
He didn't include an E-mail app because the Play Store is full of them and I couldn't choose. This choice is up to you.
How to install it?
First of all you need an unlocked bootloader with a TWRP - custom recovery installed on your device.
To unlock your bootloader go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/desi...e-510-t2910233. Follow that tutorial to get your bootloader unlocked. After a successful unlocking you'll need a custom recovery.
Download this file: https://dl.twrp.me/a11ul/twrp-3.0.2-0-a11ul.img. This is the latest TWRP recovery for our device. Now we need to flash this file on the device:
Before starting put the contents of the ZIP file on to your SD card. And make sure that it has this folder structure:
Code:
--SD CARD
--TWRP
--BACKUPS
--Your device serial number (The name of this folder should be the serial number of your device otherwise TWRP won't see the backups in this folder)
--2016-04-17--13-49-21_KTU84L_release-keys (Don't change this, I don't know what will happen if you do)
All you do is replace the downloaded backup with your backup, 1st delete your files..... DO NOT REPLACE THE FOLDERS, ONLY THE FILES IN THE LAST FOLDER
1. Power off your device by pulling the battery out and putting it in again.
2. Press the Volume Down and Power Buttons until you see the HBOOT screen.
3. Press the Power button again to enter Fastboot mode.
4. Connect your phone with your PC using an USB cable.
5. Now open your terminal (I'm using Ubuntu but it's same in Windows as well) and type:
Code:
fastboot devices
This will show you an output like this:
Code:
--your devices serial number-- fastboot
If it doesn't show you an output like that then you probably didn't install the drivers correctly or you have a faulty USB cable.
If your output is the same as above than we can move on.
This command will flash the TWRP recovery on your device:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /full/path/to/the/recovery.img
Example:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /home/denny/Downloads/twrp-3.0.2-0-a11ul.img
Now you have TWRP on your device.
To boot TWRP press the Power button to go back to the HBOOT screen and navigate to the RECOVERY option with the volume keys and again press the Power button. After a few seconds you'll see your new recovery.
Restoring the backup
First we need to wipe any potential data that will cause conflicts with the new system.
1. Tap on "Wipe"
2. Tap on "Advanced Wipe"
3. Select all but leave the Micro SDCard option unchecked.
4. Swipe the slider to wipe the data.
After that is complete press on the house button on the lower end of the screen.
Now we are going to restore the backup:
1. Tap on the "Restore" button.
2. At the lower left corner tap on "Select Storage" button.
3. Choose "Micro SDCard" option and press OK.
4. Now you should see the backup folder. Open it.
5. Select "Boot" and "System" and swipe to start the restoring process.
6. Press "Reboot System" after the restoring has finished.
After you setup you system, remove the battery again, launch in to recovery and flash this boot.img
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3-NJk0QRfxXaGNzX1VsOHR4NXM/view?pref=2&pli=1
when it is done, u may also flash this Busybox

Hey Zubagy. I have been searching for an RUU for vodaphone for ages!! Is this the stock?
Could you advice me on how to apply this after after rooting my device. Will this lock my carrier again. I am actually on a different carrier, but they can't detect tethering because I bought the phone from vodaphone.

Any time, yes... the version is 1.51.161.10. It doesnt lock the operator, your phone is just based on the Vodaphone make but you are able to use any operator. Iam in Uganda and i use the phone for Airtel. The Vodaphone part of it all is to jst show who the makers or promoters are in this case. But all that is Bloatware. I have updated my Blog and added the necessary links that you are intrested in, and how to install. (Debloated rom)
in this case am assuming you have x64 based HTC.
Sorry for the delay in the response this time, I went offline yesterday.
That rom is a '.exe'. this means you will have to ran it on ur windows computer and all u do, is insert the phone when you are asked to, and let the computer do the rest.
If you need further help, dont hesitate....especially when it comes to flashing the fdebloated version, the developer of that version is not replying, dont know why

Many thanks, you have been very helpful,
So all I have to do is download the Vofaphone ROM and run it on my computer after my phone is rooted? Do I need to make sure that boot loader is locked and any other precautions I should take? I wish to unroot the phone afterwards and leave it as the vodaphone version.

No, no need for relocking the boot loader, just go a head and insert your phone as it will tell you too Just make sure you have battery of around 50%+.
your wish will come through to unroot the phone, but trust me.....it is boring. the debloated rom is far much better when it comes to performance. the phone is actually smoother and you get space for other applications. What i did with my phone, i installed the debloated, added a memory card of 8gb, partitioned it so that i can push some apps to the phone..... but hey, anytym......You need more help..... dont hesitate.....will be right here.

Hi Zubaggy, I have just two more questions.
After I have opened the .exe file and installed the Vodaphone ROM on my phone, do I need to also install the 1.51.161.10 Kernel from the HTCdev website, or does the ROM have that inside it.?

When you are flashing a RUU, you need to unroot the phone, install the stock recovery and relock the bootloader before you start the install process. The errors above tell you that you haven't done something from the things I mentioned.

I installed the recovery I made using philz touch. I believe I am now unrooted. I was told by Zubaggy that I don't need to relock boot loader. How do I do that anyway?

When you run the RUU the installer expects the phone to be in original shape. That is way it gives our errors when it detects a custom kernel or a custom recovery.
This is the stock kernel:

This is the stock recovery:
https://mega.nz/#!uMQ0ETpB!5YLSOjAHGfDMCrDHIN3smSTjPI35LcD1wSJf4BZ6Luc
Flash them using fastboot and after that relock the bootloader and try the RUU again.
If you have any questions please ask.
EDIT: You can relock the boot loader using the command: fastboot oem lock

This is the stock recovery:

Flash them using fastboot and after that relock the bootloader and try the RUU again.
If you have any questions please ask.
EDIT: You can relock the boot loader using the command: fastboot oem lock

Thanks Danny for your fast responses I have been responding to you in my thread but would like to keep it here.
Philz touch is installed on my system and I don't know how to remove it.
Which should I flash first the stock kernel or recovery.
Surely I can't use recovery while I have one already, what if I install the stock recovery and then I haven't got a back up file.
What commands do I need to enter in CMD to flash those files.
Thanks.
