[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MitchRapp:
so am I the only one that still didn't get 2.2.1 OTA?

I have a Nexus One 2.2 original, rooted with Universal Androot...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravufo:
@Rusty thanks i'll give that a look after my math exam tomorrow

@MitchRapp no, you're not the only one...I guess Montreal carriers are being jerks...what's your build number? Is it the same as mine or does it really say FRF91? Did you get ur phone from Videotron or bought from somewhere else?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MitchRapp:
got mine from Google.com

I'm with Fido and my info is:

Model - Nexus One

Version - 2.2

Baseband - 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.12_7

Kernel - 2.6.32.9-27227-blahblahblhblahblah

Build - FRF91
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikos_s3:
same here...:confused:

bought from google (t-mobile edition), stock rom, rooted with universalandroot..

still no 2.2.1 for me as well..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravufo:
hmkay, I strongly suggest you do the update manually since I guess Montreal is being left out...since your build number is normal, I wonder if it might just be our carriers not pushing it...dunno

Anyways here's how to do it manually:

- Download update here.

- Rename the file to update.zip (make sure you have file extensions visible by default so you don't end up with update.zip.zip)

- Place it in the root directory of your sd card

- Shut down the phone and boot it by keeping the volume down and the power buttons pressed

- You will end up in the bootloader, navigate to Recovery with your volume buttons and select with the power button

- You will then have to wait for your phone to boot and show some kind of exclamation mark /!\

- Press the power and volume up buttons simultaneously

- You will have a few options, select update from sd card: update.zip (or something similar)

It should work in theory... if it doesn't you could try wiping the cache and the user data (but you WILL lose all your apps and so on)

Else I guess something is really messed up...

PS: Did you try to do "checkin"? (go into the phone app, dial *#*#2432546#*#* then wait for it to say "checkin succeeded" and go into system settings and see if u have a new update)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warner.pinz:
Try pressing the volume-up + power button for many times. It works on my n1
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liam.lah:
I can't imagine they would go that far though, Bootloader locked, easy, stock rom, easy, and stock recovery all easy to check. But would they really go looking through your /system? if you revert to stock it would all be wiped too wouldn't it?

Now that there are other ways besides fasstboot oem unlock, im sure they would look closer, but reverting to a stock rom and recovery should be enough.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MitchRapp:
yeah I did the checkin about 300 times in the last couple of days :p

anyways no biggie, just hoping this doesn't happen on a big release (like Gingerbread)

I hope they find another way to do 1-click root... cuz I don't wanna wipe my phone and do the whole bootloader thing (too complicated, no time)

im satisfied with the enomthers rom as well.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaintNicster:
It can take a bit to roll out to all the phones. Mine just found the update, but that was after I used the "Force OTA check" command that was around when FroYo first hit

Open your dialer

enter *#*#2432546#*#*

The code will clear out

a few seconds later, you should get a notification with a little warning triangle and "checkin succeeded"

If the update is available to you, it will download, then prompt you to restart & apply.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] athornz:
I received the OTA update today but it failed because (I think) I have a custom recovery (clockworkmod) installed.

I've searched around for ways to restore stock recovery and everything points to using fastboot. But I can't get that working,gives me a signature fail error (do I need to be rooted?)

Can I put on the stock recovery using the update.zip method?

I have tried PASSIMG method but haven't been able to get it to work.

And a FRF91 passimg didnt work either (can't remember the error now)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
You can only use fastboot commands if your bootloader is unlocked. If not, you can use flash_image to flash the stock recovery on your device, but you need root. If you don't have root, you need to root first, then use flash_image. Do a search, and you'll find instructions on how to use flash_image. (I'd provide you the link, but I'm not in front of a computer right now...)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MitchRapp:
so so complicated sigh...

so I got the OTA update. Tried it and failed.

The error msg included "Genie Widget" something something... if I'm not mistaken, that's News and Weather right? And the fact that I Uninstalled it ... well I tried recovering it and Amazon MP3 (only 2 things I removed from stock ROM) and they do not recover... Titanium Backup is basically useless...

What now?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexusdue:
Agree.

And so far this update seems to be like an Apple OS update ... it does nothing but prevent rooting/jailbreaking.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Not a real good option, but it may be the onlt one: flash a clean ROM and go from there.

If you're rooted but otherwise stock, you could locate the pre-rooted repacked FRG83 update.zip for custom recovery, on the forums. Flash it from Clockwork or Amon-RA and you'll still have root.

I believe this one is stock FRG83, deodexed, pre-rooted:

http://www.4shared.com/file/_fntNuae/FRG83_stock.html

Careful, it appears to include boot.img. Does this mean it'll upgrade your HBOOT? Are there negative consequences to this? Other forum members will have to fill in this detail.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magdap:
does anyone know if proxy settings are implemnted with this update?

Hi folks,

I'm on a NOT rooted Nexus One with no fancy customizations (ROMs) whatsoever.

So I don't care that the update will make rooting impossible. I didn't need root until now anyway.

I carefully followed the instruction to update from SDCard. But the installation fails. Here's what it tells me:

assert failed: apply_patch_check("MTD:boot:2392064:84dfd9df1409e2ff817ad5eb872ed83094742bed:2394112:33377a035edcb141d49f9a604bf4223f79140132")

What is wrong here?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfmiller:
Maybe the file is bad. I would try downloading it again and see if that helps.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hg80:
I went to update last night, but the update failed as little did I know (which is no bad thing from what I hear about the update), My nexus one which I purchased 2nd hand has Amon_Ra's Recovery custom recovery image v1.7 on there, hence the failure as the update is signed.

Therefore is it better for me to use CyanogenMod instead of stock or is there a way i can unsign the update to patch up?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
You have numerous choices.

Back to stock recovery & get OTA's, resign the update with test keys, or go the full bore custom option.

Which is "best" is completely personal preference.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Or you can use Amon_RA 1.8.0 or higher, which allows for signed updates. My OTA update installed properly even though I had that custom recovery.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Indeed it does, I had completely forgotten about it 'til I saw you post in another thread.

Come to think of it, I'm sure I read that ClockworkMod has no signature checks as well?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hg80:
Thanks guys,

I will prob update to Amon_RA 1.8.0 but i have never done anything like this before, i'm scared i will brick my phone, but i'll have a read up on it.

if i only update the Recovery image i assume i wont have to backup the phone first as i wont be altering the flash image?

I tried using Rom manager to get clockworkmod but my phone is not rooted so i cant do that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Memnoch30:
Update worked fine OTA with my rooted stock O/S N1 and latest ClockworkMod recovery installed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
You won't be able to flash a custom recovery image unless either 1) your bootloader is unlocked; or 2) you have root. So, you are better off rooting your phone (and since you are on FRF91, you can use the 1-click root found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=747598) and then using flash_image to flash Amon_RA 1.8.0, or install ROM Manager to get the latest ClockworkMod.

see I thought of that too... but then realised if you can't update to 2.2.1 ... what makes you think you can update to Gingerbread when it comes out (hopefully) in October/November or 2011 or whenever....

finally, what works is taking the .APK and .ODEX files from the same version off someone else's Nexus One and sticking them into the same folder and running the update

worked fine here.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Not sure why you're so many of you are having problems. How about trying this:

1) Flash the stock recovery image (via fastboot for those unlocked, or flash_image for those that are locked).

2) Flash the stock Eclair ROM from here: http://shipped-roms.com/ Go to the Android section, then the HTC Passion section, then use this one: PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_1.09.1700.1_EPE54B_release_signed.zip.

3) Flash this update from the same site: signed-passion-FRF85B-from-EPE54B.75b107d6.zip via recovery.

4) Flash this update from the same site: signed-passion-FRF91-from-FRF85B.db99fdf1.zip via recovery.

5) Wait for the OTA notification for FRG83, and install it once prompted.

Edit: made some corrections.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] athornz:
I might try this but just a quick question, you say use flash_image method for those who are locked. But to use this we need to be rooted? So we need to root, but keep the stock recovery, then we should be able to flash the zips?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
Yeah, the only way to flash a stock recovery with a locked bootloader is with flash_image, but flash_image requires root. Once you have a stock recovery (which is just a precaution, as both the latest Amon_RA and ClockworkMod recoveries can flash signed files), you should have no problems flashing any of the signed files.

FRG83 - Amon_RA Recovery fails after first reboot

I haven't read through all 16 pages of this thread to see if my problem has been covered, but here goes. I got the FRG83 OTA on my Nexus One yesterday, which of course broke my Universal Androot. I bit the bullet, unlocked the bootloader and installed the Amon_RA 1.8.0.1-aw recovery image.

I was able to root (no custom ROMs yet, I have a G1 to play around with for that) but I can only boot into recovery immediately after I flash Amon_RA. If I do that it works fine, I can do a NAND backup and whatever, but if I reboot the phone and try to enter recovery I get the triangle/exclamation point/bugdroid screen and have to pull the battery to get out. Every time I reboot into Fastboot and re-flash the recovery.img, I get one more working session with the Recovery screen. Then I reboot, and it's gone again.

Any ideas? It's a pain to only be able to boot into recovery when I have a computer around to flash from!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efoppen:
Same here - any idea what the solution is? I don't think I ever rooted the device, but nothing is getting it here OTA and I am stuck with applying update.zip with the error messages above. What to do? Need 2.2.1 as it seems to solve the issues I have with self-signed certificates.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
That's normal, you need to remove/rename recovery-from-boot.p and install-recovery.sh to stop the stock one returning.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
You didn't have to unlock the bootloader... could have gone with rageagainstthecage =)

Anyway what's done is done. What you need to do is delete or rename the following files:

/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

/system/recovery-from-boot.p

You can do this using Root Explorer or through adb, however you prefer. Then install the recovery you want again (using flash_image or ROM Manager or fastboot), and it should stick this time.

I used androot when I was at FRF91 then use titanium to uninstall amazon mp3. No one I know uses Nexus One so I don't hv a source for the apk/odex and now I can't apply the OTA (tried, stuck at triangle at boot).

What do u guys suggest? To acquire the amazon mp3 apk/odex here, then apply the rageagainstthecage to stay stock; or just take this chance and install a custom ROM such as ENOM or CM6? This update notification is so annoying!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] athornz:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilityguy:
Thanks, that did the trick. Unlocking the bootloader was worth doing anyway so I could load the custom recovery and get to Nandroid backup, unless I didn't need to do that either.

There's one more glitch that doesn't seem to be causing any problems. When I boot into the bootloader screen, I get several "no image or wrong image" errors for files like PASSIMG.nbh. Can you point me to a fix for this as well?

Well, it provides you an alternate route to flash the partitions. From recovery you can flash just about anything except recovery itself; and from a bootable rooted OS you can flash recovery. But if you for some reason lost custom recovery *and* lost the ability to boot or root the OS, fastboot would provide a third way in.
