[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarsVaeda:
Hi,

I just wanted to update manually to Gingerbread.

But I am truly confused with all the version jibber jabber...

My Android version is 2.2.1, Build Number FRG83D and Kernel is 2.6.32.9-g6624e39 htc-kernel@and18-2 #1.

My phone is from german Vodafone Company. Maybe it is because of the language? But I do not care about it, use only English anyhow.

Can I update?

Obviously I can not with the just released file, cause I get a "cannot verify".

Or do I have to wait for another file and why?

Thanks!

Do you have Vodafone or Stock Google Android installed? This update works not on the vodafone version.....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
You're not even on the latest version of Froyo, of course you won't be able to use the Gingerbread update.

How do I switch to the lates stock version that I can update Gingerbread to?

I thought I updated manually to the latest version before...

I really hate this part of Android :(

edit: oh thanks to the above, guess I'll try that

Can anyone lead me to a way to get to vanilla Android so I wont be bothered with this **** again?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
it seems to me that you are not on the stock android ROM, but you are on a special vodaphone version of the ROM. if this is true, i highly suggest that you get rid of that ROM. that means you should root your phone, gain superuser acces, and install ROM manager.

ROM manager will now let you easily flash a variety of ROMs, just like an official OTA update, and including the stock ROM. so from ROM manager you could switch to stock if you wish, which would let you upgrade to gingerbread. or you can switch to cyanogen, or any other ROM you see in the list.

by far its the best thing to do.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarsVaeda:
Okay this are the steps I figured so far, if I follow them will I be able to update to Gingerbread?

Any step I forgot?

- Root with this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=959672 (yeah I'm on ubuntu)

- then I "download the FRG83 system image from http://developer.htc.com and use fastboot to flash over the system and boot images"

- then I run the update the Gingerbread update
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spintriplet:
That is what I had to do to get mine working...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarsVaeda:
So you may help me out cause i'm stuck again.

I have rooted via SuperOneClick now, cause the linux one did not work, blame it on eclipse...anyway.

I installed RomManager as suggested above, but there is no FRG83 to choose from.

So i downloaded the FRG83 from HTC and choose that with RomManager. But it does not install, just backups then reboots and nothing changed.

I also tried to do it manually but if i go to fastboot i can not do anything.

There are only Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader and Power Down.

I named the downloaded zip (http://dl4.htc.com/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/signed-passion-img-FRG83_0923.zip), root.zip and placed it in the root of the sd-card.

What am i missing?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spintriplet:
I downgraded to stock from my laptop.

You go into fastboot on the device and then on your computer run commands like:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

and

fastboot flash system system.img

.

Fastboot in this case is used to restore the stock images from your computer to the device.

You then need to re-apply all the updates.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirk:
Just flash the full stock Gingerbread ROM from the dev section. Easy peasy.

Hi all,

I have exactly the same problem as DarsVaeda, and also the same specs:

Nexus One (Vodafone NL)

Android version 2.2.1

Build Number FRG83D

Kernel version 2.6.32.9-g6624e39 htc-kernel@and18-2 #1

HBOOT-0.35.0017

RADIO 5.12.00.08

I've been trying to find a solution for the problem but trying to update to FRG83G gives me the same error message:

Finding update package…

Opening update package…

Verifying update package…

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

if someone has a solution, please post it here :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
I believe Vodafone tweak their ROMs, so you can't install the update. You will need to revert your phone to complete stock, or root and flash files through a custom recovery, our unlock the bootloader and fastboot flash...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarsVaeda:
Yep he's right.

I am on gingerbread now.

I rooted with super one click.

Then installed rom manager.

Flash a custom recovery (ie. at the bottom).

Downloaded stock FRG83G from HTC.

Booted into the recovery and installed the rom.

Afterwards I could update to gingerbread.

No downsides yet.

You can also flash the stock gingerbread rom now. Saves you one step.

It's linked here in the forum.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hadaly:
So there is no way around it? if I want Gingerbread on my Nexus I have to root it or wait for Vodafone.

I'm unsure about rooting, never done it before and I'm a noob in this field, but I really, really want the update :(

If you don't mind, DarsVaeda, and in the light of your success with that method, could you maybe post an even more detailed step by step instructions of how you did it? :o
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hadaly:
Wow! thank you so much for the step by step guide, I really appreciate it :) now I feel more confident to attempt the feat of updating.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
You don't need to root to update.

Follow the wiki guide to unroot/restore using the passimg method for FRG33, then install the updates to FRG83, 83D, 83G, then finally Gingerbread...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rstuart:
I have followed this process and have a small modification:

Step 8: You DON'T want to choose the 2nd option (Update from zip), you want option 4(??) Install from zip. Update only lets you apply an update from update.zip.

I installed the Gingerbread ROM and skiped the HTC ROM. I also suffered from data loss but the rest went perfectly aside from the drivers. To get the usb drivers for Windows 7 you need to install the SDK.

Cheers
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riz1234:
Thanks for these instructions. I had a FRG83D VodafoneUK ROM that was giving me pain. I followed these steps and managed to install Gingerbead 2.3.3 on my Nexus One now.

Just one small modification. SuperOneClick rooting didn't work for me. For some reason I got stuck at "chmod rageagainstthecage" or whichever method I used.

I followed another guide to root manually with rageagainstthecage already copied onto the phone and then followed your steps. Because I'm a new member I can't post the url for that guide. Perhaps after few posts.

All well now!
[HTC Inspire 4G] boufa:
O.k. This is my first Android phone... after many many years of WM (Sorry Bill Gates, you just seem to be stuck in 1995).

The only real issue I am having is that I cannot get the audio (not phone audio) to route to my bluetooth ear piece. I like to listen to podcasts with my ear piece in, but cannot find a way to make it work.

I have a Motorola H390 ear piece and I have checked the settings and it is checked as being on. What am I doing wrong, or is there some work around.
[HTC Inspire 4G] AnyMal:
It looks like H390 does not support A2DP which explains why you can't listen to audio on it.

[Xoom General] Tujin:
Just picked my xoom up this afternoon. I'm enjoying it thus far but noticed a kind of crackly sound when playing music at full or close to full volume. Has anyone elze noticed this? Possible defective speaker or is that just how it sounds? It is very noticable on the WY clef song that came on the device.
[Xoom General] o1dm0n:
i haven't noticed it on mine. What I have noticed is that the sound has to be turned up quite a bit nearly all the time.
[Xoom General] keitht:
I hear some slight distortion at full volume. If I drop it down one notch, it seems to be fine.

Yeah I was over by the verizon store earlier and compared mine to the display model and it sounded the same. Not really a huge deal.

Not at all. I would rather have the option to see how far it can go than have volume too low because people complain.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lawyeradam:
Hi all. New at flashing on the Evo. I'm currently running the Elite I ROM. My question is, can you flash just a kernel or is that a part of the kitchen process and is included in the ROM, such as the Elite I that I'm running. Curious if I can flash a kernel alone, and if so, when I wipe wouldn't that wipe the ROM off too? I'm trying to improve my battery life on the phone and appreciate a quick q&a on kernels and the in's and outs. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surrealmethod:
Do a nandroid backup first, then flash the kernal you wish to try out. If you don't like it, restore the nandroid and then flash another kernal.

Usually try to give a new kernal a day or 2.

Every phone is different, so someone might get great results with one kernal where you don't get the same. So try them out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lawyeradam:
So the nandroid backs up kernel and ROM, right? If so, then I flash new kernel and i'll have the current ROM and the new Kernel??? That being said, what about wipe? Do i wipe? Is there a choice to just wipe kernel? Thanks!!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
where the hell did you come up with that garbage?

you don't need to do a nandroid. Only if you want to go back to the original kernal for some reason.

you do need to wipe cache and delvik cache before flashing a new kernel. If you don't like the kernal you flashed, go back to recovery and repeat with a wipe of cache and delvik-cache, and then flash a different one.

Ok, so my phones rooted and the power button recently started sticking and just not working the past few days. should i unroot it before i bring it into sprint or will they probably not look at that? also what is their policy with this problem, will they replace the phone or send me to insurance?
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Had this issue they replaced the button and it was fixed.

I would unroot just in case.

You don't want your line marked as rooted in case you ever have an issue again.

thats what i was thinking, better safe than sorry.

you could try to replace it yourself i you were game its quite easy to take the phone apart and you can get the Power button online. It maybe just dirt/dust or something making it stick.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] jholtom:
Hello Everyone

This Rom is sort of the completion of incubus's Espresso since it never came out it still looks postponed.

It runs in 320x480.

Here is my version:

It has everything his was supposed to have.

Eclair 2.1

-Smooth Great looking New Expresso UI

-New task bar drop down with recent apps

-Friend Stream

-New Dialer

-Much More

Link: Androidinstall.tar

It IS necessary to clear dalvik cache before it will work! You MUST or it will bootloop!

I use a modded kernel for this rom. The kernel overclocks to 510 mhz automatically and has the necessary space for this rom to run on NAND making it nicely quick. It is set to use 320x480 which is what this rom needs

Kernel: VOGUIMG.nbh

i got it to boot in haret, but then it looped on the htc screen when the progress bar was half way.. I cleared my dalvik cache and it worked. it was extremely slow once in and even though it said i had 3g in the status bar any application said i couldnt connect
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jholtom:
ok thanks i don't have data plan so its iffy for me to tell if it will work

I'll be repairing and fixing this soon.

[ROM] Original Stock firmware

THIS was originally posted by roebeet from notionhacks.com

just putting here like this so we arent linking everywhere...

Given that NI is only doing OTA updates now, I'm going to use this as a placeholder for full stock ROMs. That way, a user who has modded their device can use these to get back to a baseline without the need for nvflash / APX.

These are the original NI stock ROM files. I have not altered them in any way.

NIA20140211 (LCD) ROM: http://www.mediafire.com/?1qsp32kutgmrc3l

Instructions for standard recovery users:

- Extract the rar to the root of either a microSD card, or your internal memory. You want both the update.zip and /recovery folder.

- Reboot the device into recovery (power up and volume up key). The firmware update should occur automatically.

- (Optional but recommended). Wipe your user data, also via the recovery tool.

Instructions for clockworkmod users:

- Same as above, except that you don't need the recovery folder and it's not automatic. You need to chose the update.zip update option, in clockworkmod.
