[Q] Help needed Please to revert to fully stock N1

Hi Guys,
I am a newbie to all things root etc.,but wanting to start I have purchased a 2nd hand Nexus One. However it seems to have a different Build number than most of you. Here are the specs: Android version
2.2.1
Baseband version
32.50.00.32U_5.12.00.08
Kernel version
2.6.32.9-Connect-UTB-20101020-27240-gbca5320
Build number
UTB-ROM 1.1
Could some one please guide me to revert my phone to a complete up to date Stock phone?
Any help much appreciated!

Anyone?
I Haven't just posted without spending hours on reposts and wiki, even asked original member who devised UTB-1.1 but no replies yet.I have tried instructions on wiki to revert to FRG33,but I get an error! Have tried other members advice posts, Rusty being one,still get an error. On the Recovery mode I notice I have Clockwork there,is this the problem?
Stuck on UTB-1.1 just want original stock phone to receive OTA updates etc.,

Which hboot version do you have?

Hi it is 0.35.0017

Ahhhh, well that's why the passimg method won't work.
I don't know of anyway, other than rooting, or unlocking the bootloader. You may already be rooted, though...

Hi, Thanks for taking the time to reply, so, I don't know either if it is rooted, if I root will I be able to use passimg? don't really want to unlock the bootloader unless there is no other way.

To see if you're rooted, download a flashlight app that requires root, and see if it works...
You cannot use the passimg method, sorry.
Unlocking bootloader is the easiest, but I can respect you not wanting to do that.
Let me know if you're rooted...

Well, since the FRG33 PASSIMG has HBOOT 0.35.0017 in it, how come you cannot reflash it? I also have that HBOOT (at least I think so, I used the FRG33 PASSIMG then OTA'd to FRG83D) and I can reflash that anytime I want.
I tried yesterday night... I didn't actually reflash but I forgot I had the file there, launched HBOOT and it checked and offered me to flash it. So by using a FRG33 PASSIMG I guess it should work.

You can try it, but like the OP said, you get an error...

G0belet you were right! danger-rat I did get error x 3 , but whilst searching to see if my n1 is rooted, I saw G0belet's post and went back to my passimg file. I am an idiot! I copied the instructions for FRG33 from wiki exactly. Where I went wrong was renaming the passimg file passimg.zip, it is already a zip file,so my phone sd card read passimg.zip.zip! Argggh! after all those hours and your help I am now on Build FRG33.
Thank you G0belet and danger-rat for spending time to help.Guess you can tell I am new to this. Now all I need to do is update to FRG83 somehow?
Many Thanks again guys...
Update: After I finished typing all this, my nexus updated ota to FRG83D!
so all fixed I think..

Instructions in the wiki to upgrade from FRG33 to FRG83...

You're welcome
Just connect your N1 to your Wi-Fi or cellular network. You will get a prompt to update very soon. Check Settings > About this phone > Updates (or something like this) to see if it's loading. If it's not, you can attempt tapping Phone, and typing *#*#2432546#*#* to manually trigger the update verification. That's the easy and official way to update. It will directly load stock FRG83D on your phone.

Thanks it's on FRG83D now after OTA update, Brilliant!

[Q] Got a hero in 1.5... how upgrade to 2.1

Just got a real nice condition sprint hero in 1.5 (cupcake I think?)
I want to upgrade it to 2.1
Then I will root it, hopefully, using a one click method..
Can someone help me with the upgrade?
Thanks,
Stocky

root it as it sits and flash the 2.1 rom of your choice.

Not sure on something///
I've been led to believe I can't root with 1.5...
using one of the 1 click methods that is.
Unless you've got some help on that which I'd truly appreciate?
Thnx

I've always done root by command line and I got a 1.6 phone.
Just download the latest RUU from the HTC website and flash it up to a 2.1 phone.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/hero-sprint/downloads/

thnx 4 that
Thnks for the link to 2.1
Bummer I can't download it directly into the hero...
i got no usb hookup cable with it.
That page has a sinc download as well...
shouldn't i just ignore that??? I'm just gonna root... right?

The sync software has the drivers you will need.
Sent from my HERO200 using Tapatalk

Easiest way to do it all is going to be to do the official RUU from HTC, but not the one mentioned above because you wont be able to use unrevoked one click root. Follow this guide shown here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572 There is a link to the RUU you will need. Its the easiest method to get this done, make sure after you gain root access you download ROMmanager from the market and flash clockworkmod recovery to be able to start flashing custom roms. Hope this helps!

If you need a cable I can send you one. They are not expensive and readily available from the truck stop, corner store, wal mart, best buy..... Let me know though, if you need one.

When I first rooted 1.5 I used a app called "flash rec" its a old way of flashing a recovery. It might work for you. If you want a copy just pm me with your email and I'll send you a copy. You'll have to google how to use it correctly though. Its been a while since I rooted. Not a 100% sure it will work for you but I think it should since your running 1.5
Something.About.Me.U.Don't.Like.
It's.Cool.I.Understand.AWAH.

2.3
i just got gingerbread on mine its awesome fast and faster with setcpu.

I just clicked on the link on the HTC web site. (don't use the http version) and it did the rest. Then rooted my phone using the super one click root that is in this forum. worked for me. I also like the ClockworkMod, you can only get 2.5 free from the market, but can get 3.0 from their website. Alway remember before you root, or flash you phone to back it up. You will thank me for that advice later. You can use ClockworkMod to back up.

Hero os upgrade
Is there a way to upgrade 1.5 to 2.1 without erasing eveything?

[Q] Update.zip signed Needed

Can anybody point the way for a signed.zip for my HTC Incredible, is bricked (half bricked, I can boot into recovery and HBOOT am unrooted)

you can only change your radio through HBOOT.. must be rooted.. needs to be renamed to PB31IMG.zip and SD card needs to be formatted to FAT32 to flash anything through HBOOT
you might want to fully unroot your phone and re-root it using doug pistons RUU http://dougpiston.com/

Why don't you download a pb31img.zip with the radio you want? I think most are already packaged that way, flashable in hboot.
Or, maybe I missunderstood.

When I sent my old Inc back I had to do this...
- Flash the stock radio...
- Use the unrevoked.zip to flash S-On
- Then install RUU.
It worked fine...you will be able to RUU.
Edit: Also you can download these files and transfer them between a SD card reader from your computer if you cannot use the usb cord to go direct.
Unless I am missing something here...the OP isnt really clear with his 'situation'

Im not sure if I understand the issue here but why dont you download the froyo update zip file and place it on the sdcard and boot in Hboot and downgrade to stock and than just root your phone with unrevoke...??

I fixed it using this guide. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14440621.
Thank goodness, I'm lucky the resolution to my bricked phone was out last month.
I did have to root, and i rooted using some application there temporary and it worked. That was a life saver .
Now I just have to fix the meid since it says is unavailable.
And sorry I put in the wrong forum, I just thought it would go under Android Dev because it involved fixing a Android Os bug in the Froyo 2.2 leaked update.
Well now I have my phone rooted with 2.2 S-off and recognizing sd card and being recognized by the computer

Just a friendly word of advice. The development section is a place for devs to post their work such as ROMS and Kernels. The Q&A section is where you post for answers to problems. And work arounds, like your other post in here, would fit more into General. Eventually if you keep posting non development things in this forum someone will start flaming you and then things can get ugly. The moderators will eventually move these to the correct forums but I'm just giving you a heads up some people can get rather po'ed at the smallest infraction. Others don't care and will try and help you out regardless as you have seen.

[Q] Incredible 2.3.4 cannot get S-off/root/temp root/anything

I have an Incredible 2.3.4 with this taken from HBOOT
Incrediblec XC Ship S-On
HBOOT-0.92.0000
Microp-0417
Touch Panel-ATMEL224_16ab
Radio-2.15.10.07.07
Ok, so here is my problem, I want to be rooted and I want S-off, but I cannot get anything done. The phone wouldn't recognize the SD Card, I got that taken care of. The phone does the 5 Vibrates when turning it on unless I have the USB plugged in and I do a battery pull. (This really screws up updates/RUU fixes where updates are necessary). And along those lines I tried an RUU back to 2.1 which didn't work because of the restart issue, but then I was able to run the update after booting into HBOOT USB but the RUU failed ultimately.
I've tried to gain root access through unrevoked 3.22, it simply says failed to push recovery, terminated. I've tried rooting using zergRush, it tells me that it has found a path and that its sending zergs, then it just stops without telling me what happened and kicks me back out of adb shell. This is a recurring problem, I will be in adb shell and then randomly and for no reason it was kick me out to the root of my computer.
I'm working on a Windows 7 64 bit machine, I have been using an ADB mini download, but have also tried working through the installed ADB with equal results.
If anyone has any idea of what I could be doing wrong or different please let me know. I really need some kind of help because I am at a major loss.

2.3.4 on the Incredible has not yet been rooted, therefore the rooting software (Unrevoked) has not been updated with a root method. That would be why it's not working for you. I've never tried to downgrade to an old version using an RUU, so I can't really speak to that.
Also, this was posted in the incorrect forum. You should have posted in the Q&A section, as this has nothing to do with development.

What about the radio?
I was wondering this same thing because my wife's Incredible isn't rooted, but she's on 2.3.4. If she ever asks me to root her phone to put something on it or give her some feature not otherwise available, I'd rather be prepared if possible.
While looking over the UnRevoked site, I noticed it didn't really mention the Android versions it worked with, just the radios. I wonder if it's possible to just flash the radio to 2.15.00.07.28, which is rootable, according to the UnRevoked site, and try the UnRevoked Forever tool?
The radios are pretty easy to get here after all.
I'm not recommending this without some confirmation from someone with a lot more experience rooting than I have though, so Caveat Emptor!
Just a thought.
Cheers!

You can flash radios in the bootloader, but, having S-ON, the zip file may need to be signed, so i'd say NO it's not possible to flash a radio w/o root.

Yeah, flashing radios with s-on is a brick magnet.

There is thread on downgrading to 2.2 and rooting in dev. It works.

Actually it just wouldn't flash, because the file wouldn't be signed by HTC, so it wouldn't (shouldn't) brick the phone.

I've done something stupid

Hello people, I hope I'm not being a 'bloody annoying bastard '- I really have searched the internet forums thoroughly for a solution to my predicament.
I recently bought a Bell network branded HTC Raider with stock GB (2.3.4) rom. I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone. In my haste to get rid of the bloatware, I stupidly used Root Explorer to delete files instead using Titanium Backup - ergo, no chance to restore deleted stuff. Anyway, now when I press 'Personalize' on the launcher bar, and then try to choose any of the sound options,(ringtones, notifications or alarms), I get a message saying 'The linked program is no longer installed on your phone'. And if I try to change the notification sound from within, say, the messages app, the app 'has to close'. The only 'program' that I can think of that is even remotely connected with sound is Soundhound, which I deleted, but I don't believe that would be the cause. I can still set a ringtone using the ringtone widget, but I can't change the notification or alarm sounds, even though I can still see and play them in System/Media/Audio. Has anyone any idea what I have inadvertently deleted? Something from HTC Sense, I'm guessing. Is it possible to download the Sense 3.0 files and pick them apart to perhaps find what I'm missing?
Sorry if this is a dumb question - my first post and all. Cheers.

I was able to find a link to the stock ICS update RUU for Bell Raiders
(this will upgrade your phone to Ice Cream Sandwich and wipe everything)
If you want to stick with the BellMobility stock Gingerbread, I think I have it archived at home. I can upload it this evening if you want it.
Thanks to the ICS BellMobility RUU post by kennethpenn

Thank you, I'll try for the Gingerbread first, just to try to find out what I deleted. Upgrade to ICS I believe I can get from HTC OTA if I return the phone to stock first. I'm still new at this flashing business, so I'm grateful for any help.

OK . . . downloaded file, but unfortunately it is an installer package, and it won't install on my rooted Raider. Does anyone out there have it in a zip package? I'd like to sort thru the apk files.

Or at the very least, a LIST of installed apk's for the Bell Raider.

You have to relock your bootloader before running the ruu...its easy just download the toolkit and use the relock bootloader option...then run the ruu
As far as it in a zip file...I don't honk there is one for the bell...there's a rooted deodexed art one you can flash in recovery...don't know how that will play with your bell version tho

When you run an HTC RUU exe, it takes a little time to extract whatever files it needs. Once you get to the very first step of the RUU (where you get to click buttons), I believe you can go to C:\Users\whoever\AppData\Local\Temp (for Win7 users) and then sort by modified date. You should see a folder that was very recently created. If you poke around in there, you may find a file called "rom.zip". That should be the stock rom from the RUU. But what you do with it is at your own risk!
mg2 is right - just relock the bootloader and the RUU will bring your phone back to glorious stock. It's so much easier than messing around. Then you can decide what your next step is.

Yes, I realise now that reflashing the stock rom was the easiest way. Now I have the OTA ICS and Sense 3.6 rom in place, have re unlocked, re rooted and this time I am being more careful with bloatware removal! Have also done a full nandroid backup. Thanks again for the advice, people. Looking forward to asking more noob questions in the future. :silly:

Just one more thing . . . I understand that I'll need to S-OFF if I want to install custom ROMs, is that right? Any other advantages of an S-OFF phone? The procedure looks a tad daunting - poking around in the back of the phone with a piece of wire! I did it to my old Desire . . . was quite straightforward using Revolutionary. Cheers, all.

You do not need to be S-OFF to install custom roms: just need to flash boot.img using fastboot and flash rom thru recovery
With S_OFF you flash kernel (boot.img) thru recovery instead of using fastboot

OK . . . got it. Thanks for that.

If you're a ROM-a-Holic like me (and maybe a few others around here) and want to try many different roms and kernels to find out what you like the most, you'll want to do the S-OFF procedure. It's not that bad, and it's definitely convenient to be able to download a stack of roms and kernels, put them on your SD card, and then sit out on the lawn enjoying some sun and flashing your phone silly directly from recovery without needing fastboot! I highly recommend it.

I agree! If you follow the instructions from the SuperGuide (stickied in the development forum I believe) exactly, you shouldn't have any problems with the S-OFF procedure.
