Does anyone know how i can get froyo on my phone with the EPF21B build? Could i change to the ERE27 build WITHOUT rooting my phone? Or flash pauls version through the stock recovery image, without voiding my warranty? Thanks for any help
same problem.
my phone is EPE54B
HELP!!!
Gotta root until Google sort it out I'm afraid.
I have ERE36B with locked bootloader. Can I just update or do I need another update file?
You're on an awkward build... I very much doubt there will be an upgrade path for you.
You will most likely need to flash a mainstream PASSIMG.ZIP (AT&T EPE54B or Vodafone EPF21B) and update from that when Google release one.

Edit: Actually, maybe you should listen to him. After clarification it seems that there were un-original roms out in the wild that didn't need an unlocked bootloader. If you updated to that ROM yourself, even without unlocking then you may not see an upgrade at all.
Old post below for continuity's sake.

Don't listen to him. It seems he is telling you that you will need to unlock to upgrade. If you aren't going to unlock yet, just wait, there will be an OTA update for you too, you just have to wait for Google to send it out.
Google will not force you to unlock your phone.
Is there a way to go back to ere27 so i can update now, without unocking?
Dont mind if i have to do a factory reset or something like that

EPF21B is the official euro shipping ROM.
You can't change it back to ERE27 without unlocking the phone, period.
If you don't want to unlock, you'll have to wait until Google issues the OTA for the official euro phones.

Thanks for that completely incorrect post.
I am not telling you to unlock, both can be flashed in the same way you flashed ERE36B as they are official released images.
As ERE36B is a release that shouldn't be out in the field, I doubt an update will be made for it.
So, since I am not on Vodafone or AT&T, what should I update to? AT&T EPE54B or Vodafone EPF21B?
There has to be a way to restore the phone to factory state and factory ROM?

Sorry about that, it seemed to me that you were telling him he would never get an update without unlocking. But he did mention that he was still locked and had that release. I don't know how he got that one, but if he is truly locked wouldn't it make sense that Google knows of the phones out there with that version?
I still don't think it would make sense for Google to not give those phones an update, and to force them to unlock to upgrade.
Am I missing something important here that's really messing up my understanding?

Except that the factory ROM is different from one to another.
Tmobile factory ROM : ERD79 (which can then be updated to ERE27).
ATT factory ROM : not sure but the one before EPE54B
Europe factory ROM : EPF21B.

I think so.
There are certain ROMs that were leaked, these can be installed without unlocking the bootloader as they are release signed. No phone sent out by Google came with ERE36B, you had to install it yourself. There is also no way back to stock ERE27 without unlocking the bootloader.
My reckoning is that as this particluar ROM isn't meant to be in use by the public an upgrade path is unlikely, hence the advice to flash to a 'legitimate' release image (no unlock necessary) which will definitely be upgradable.

Thanks for explaining. I'll go edit my original post.
Thanks Rusty. What rom should i update to then? Is there another rom i can downgrade from, or is it generally impossible to go to an older rom with locked bootloader?
Can't go older unfortunately, else it would be a no-brainer.
As for which one, I doubt it matters, but I would expect EPE54B to be the next updated.
cant you just flash pauls prerooted version?

Doesn't work, cancels installation when it doesn't find the right signature.
yeh, tried that, Wont work with locked bootloader. Tried all ERE27 images, renamed to either passimg.zip or update.zip, and same for all frf50.. Only one thing left to do i guess, and that is wait.
Having the Same Problem,
Hi, I have a Nexus One from Vodafone, and have unlocked it, however, I still can't get it to update to Froyo FRF50 so I can then further upgrade it, I am currently on build EPF21B which I think Vodafone have mucked around with, because I have just updated a Friends Nexus Manually with the same file not problems, mine keeps coming up with, first:
Froyo+E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Then fails on this:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
Can any of you kind people out there confirm that there is something slightly odd about the stock Vodafone ROM,
Thanks for your time in this matter, I assure you that it is deeply appreciated
Kind Regards - Ashe
so before the official 2.1 ruu was released to sprint i ran the ruu that had leaked a few days before the official release came. Is that leak exactly the same as the official release.
yes.....yes it is.. I think the ruu of the leak had test keys in it with root i need someone to confirm this tho. But yeah i read that they have the same MD5.

it doesn't matter they could be different give me a sec and I'll try to get you that and what i would like you to do if you have your msl is run the stock 2.1 rom and reset to factory settings and then do update your prl and everything else so then flash fresh 2.0d
Here is a copy of the radio from the actual ruu

As of now, it is not rootable, however, devs are working on getting it rooted.

No it is not exactly the same, there were some minor, but good fixes

Or, just wait a week or two for the official release of Froyo.
Is that what we are talking about? One or two weeks?
Flashing the rom is not that big of a deal, was concerned about unlocking the bootloader for AT&T and what was required to do it. Didn't want to make a mistake and have a $500 paperweight
Still not sure where to go or what to download after reading the stickies about AT&T to unlock the bootloader before the flash.
when I got my phone 3 weeks ago, they said 1 or 2 weeks then also, lol....
I have the same type phone att/rogers. I did this then this (thx Jack)

I followed both of those to the T and it all worked out, once or twice i had a problem or 2.... but I just renamed the recovery image and it worked..... and something else, over all... for a noob, I did pretty good, lol. Very glad I did, sooooo much faster, smoother and flash support
No rooting needed if you use the "originally" leaked FRF50 build .. just download to the phone and run the update.
You may use google to search for the file and the instructions
Good luck!
Edit: sorry, just realized you have an AT&T one. So, you may need to root. My one I got directly from Google and it does not need to be rooted.
hi all.
my situation:
i got an european nexus one bought through vodafone.
the first step was when i received froyo ota: FRF91 build with v5.08 radio.
then i decided to leave vodafone and install stock android: now i got FRG83D build with v4.06 (downgraded!) radio.
now, since i realized that the newest radio is better than the old one, my question is:
does we already know that gingerbread ota gonna bring also a radio upgrade?
1) yes, waiting for it is recommended.
2) no, the only way is root it and manually update the radio to v5.12.
thanks.
I suspect it will.
Obviously no proof of that, but meh. Wait and see I guess, if it does, you're golden. If not, root (before applying the update, just to be safe, as I presume you're against unlocking the bootloader), flash radio, then update.
any other opinions?
As some of you may know my Razr i had mysteriously ended up stuck on 29004 retail.en.GB, which is apparently earlier than what GB phones shipped with (blame ebay).
I'm happy to unlock the bootloader etc but it would help if I knew exactly how to get from my current version to the latest JB release. I wasn't sure about flashing the upgrades as usual since none of them have a step to get from this version to any further.
Any help?:silly:
Thanks,
Addam.

Just flash the fastboot files from Mattgrof, they are very safe to use and you don't have to worry about updating in a specific order.
