1.) Wait patiently for the talented dev community to make a ROM based off of it.

2.) Wait patiently for the talented dev community to make a custom version of this update

3.) Revert to stock recovery and original 2.1(passimg if needed), update to 2.2 (FRF91) OTA or via a signed zip and then apply the zip directly from Google which is posted in this thread. (I can't confirm that this would work, but it should)

rinse and repeat.

I am curious as to what has changed with this release. I reckon that once some devs have spent some time with it we'll have more information.

edit: the gentleman above has linked to solution number 2. Keep in mind that this will work only with a stock FRF91 install.

The first thing I noticed is that I now have to accept the security settings (i.e. set a PIN) from the Exchange server at work. If I don't accept it I don't can't open the Exchange account. In other words the update now enforces the Exchange security settings.

hey guys

so for a complete newbcake like myself... what do u suggest?

I have a plain Nexus One 2.2 and I've used Universal Androot (just so I can use Titanium donate version and uninstall amazon mp3 and news and weather)

I didn't get 2.2.1 OTA yet, even after check-in, but I did download it from the official google site.

Should I wait for a new 1-click root to come out or wha?

If I open up my Universal Androot now, and "unroot", will titanium backup stop working, or does it already have access so it's set in stone?

What about this radio update I see everyone has... 5.08... useful?

Thanks

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrian_botez:
Hy there! Well...I have just buy a Nexus One, a new one, but the guy that has it have rot it and also put it a custom rom. After reading a few web-pages about unrooting, I decided to do it because the reason is simple. I don´t use the facilities that the root can give you. So i unroot it by placing a passimg.zip that I have found on the internet as a stock rom and update from the recovery menu. Eveything works well, and now I have this on my informacion screen:

Base version

32.41.00.32u_5.08.00.04

kernel version

2.6.32.9-27227-g3c98b0d

haley@m4-dev#1

compliation

frf91

The problem is that this name haley@m4-dev#1 isn´t a official update, right? So I have download a new version of the frf91 a, signed official version, but I cannot install it, neither as a passimg.zip neither as a update.zip. Now the recovery menu shows me an icon with a little android and an exclamacion sign , and even trying updating to frg83 2.2.1 adroid it doesn´t work. The boot version is hboot 0.35.0017. It gives me this message:

e: failed to verify whole file signature

e: signature verification failed

So...what do I have to do? I only want to have it stock, no root, nothing like this... Just receiving updates via OTA ...I just found that the name Haley means that is a AT&T phone. I need one android-build .

I have the same numbers but have bought my phone from Vidéotron, here in Montreal. My phone isn't rooted or anything and I still haven't managed to update manually nor have I received the OTA yet. I even tried to go in recovery and clear both cache partition and user data/factory reset but that didn't help me update...

I hope someone can help us with this issue, I really want some better Wi-Fi support, I hate being disconnected =\
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Okay so maybe those numbers refer to froyo builds for carrier phones in general.

If it won't upgrade via non root methods, and you desperately want the upgrade, you could go:

Universal androot

Locate the repacked FRG83 for custom recovery

Rom manager, full backup to SD

Then apply the repacked update from within Rom manager or from custom recovery.

If there are any preinstalled Videotron apps you really want to keep, and which aren't available on Market, you'll want to find a way to carry those through to the new Rom as well.

EDIT: oops I forgot, are the Videotron phones SLCD? If so be careful with custom recovery!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravufo:
Thanks for the fast answer...

so first, I'd like to not have to root my phone or use custom ROMs because I want to keep my warranty for as long as I can just to make sure.

Videotron does not include preloaded apps in the phones...they are pretty much untouched and as if you had bought them from Google themselves.

The phones are using AMOLED, at least that's what was written on the Vidéotron site... not sure how I would be able to check this out on the phone itself...any clue?

Thanks a lot! :D

PS: Wouldn't there be some kind of way to install the full clean version of FRF91 so I could then update to FRG83 via OTA?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Regarding SLCD vs AMOLED - see this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUF4dLVdFKc

on the AMOLED, the boot "X" animation is on a jet-black screen. On the SLCD you can see some leakage in the black background. You'd probably see the difference in a dark room.

In theory you keep your warranty if you root without unlocking the bootloader.

Not sure how you might go about FRG83 without rooting if the traditional methods didn't work.

I was going by this thread:

http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...-(network-speeds-etc)?p=14023672#post14023672

where it was stated that the Videotron version has SLCD. Not sure whether to believe them or Videotron's site.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravufo:
Hmkay...uhm so technically, if I root and then update to an official (untouched) build and then unroot, will it be completely clean? Will they be able to detect that I have once rooted my phone?

Also, you were right, Vidéotron Nexus Ones are definitely SLCD and not AMOLED...maybe that explains the weird build number? I heard HTC wasn't able to get enough AMOLED displays and decided to use SLCD for all the new ones?

PS: I might wait until next friday to see if i receive an OTA
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
If you want a repair centre to believe you'd never rooted the phone, you'd need:

- bootloader still locked

- stock ROM

- stock recovery (can be reverted, not sure where to find the img file though)

- no sign in the system partition of having rooted

And possibly other things.
