Pleasy help!!!

Stock Nexus 1, running 2.2.2

-- Install from sdcard...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory)

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted

I downloaded the file, renamed to update.zip, moved to sdcard, and followed the procedure.

Can anyone give me some insight?
[Nexus One General] :
turn off signature verification and rename to update only no .zip on end. Windows adds the zip anyway. Sometimes you wind up with .zip.zip.
[Nexus One General] lenox713:
How do you turn off signature verification?
[Nexus One General] lenox713:
Thanx!!! You were right, had to rename update without the .zip
[Nexus One General] :
glad you got it

on sig veri you can turn it off with certain versions of amon_ra and lower ones below 3.0 of clockwork it is off, I believe.

If not rooted, I don't remember how it worked--been over nine months.

I use only amon_ra now

Hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster.

Thanks first of all for the link and instructions. I was able to update my N1 (unrooted, stock OS) to Gingerbread, but I'm noticing *very* weak 3G signals.

It stays mostly on Edge most of the time now - I'm at home and I used to have 3G all the time with Froyo here. Is anyone else having this problem? Any advice? Would rolling back to Froyo and waiting for the official Google OTA to hit my phone be an option?

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
[Nexus One General] decoyjoe:
I was having the same exact issue and it was quite frustrating. I was able to solve the issue by installing the update that is posted Here.

Applied the update using ClockworkMod Recovery and it worked like a charm. Now running 2.3.3 and loving it :D

Hope this helps!

Yummmmm, Gingerbread :p

Gingerbread OTA 86.5 MB link

I thought this might be useful.

Just downgraded to stock FRG33, immediately got update notification:

This download upgrades your Nexus One to Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread)

filesize is 86.5 MB

here's the link: android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/passion/656099b119f8.signed-passion-ota-102588.656099b1.zip

Uh, cannot post links yet...

It just updated my Nexus one directly from stock FRG33 to GRI40 while i was writing this post.

The link the OP provided is different than any listed in the other thread (at least in the OP of that thread)... To the best of my knowledge the other OTA links for GB are around 40mb...

android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/passion/656099b119f8.signed-passion-ota-102588.656099b1.zip

Perhaps this is for coming from a build other than FRG83G [updated - meant G not D] ???
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
This will still give you GRI40, right? :)
[Nexus One General] Hollow.Droid:
The 43.6M download is used when updating from FRG83G, this is from FRG33 as in the first post :)
[Nexus One General] :
i wonder if it could be used as PASSIMG
[Nexus One General] Hollow.Droid:
Doubtful. From builds above FRG33 (I think) the PASSIMG method doesn't work so it would be weird for it to work again in this build. Would have been nice though :p

E: failed to verify whole-file signature

Hello everyone,

I have a few questions.

I own Google Nexus One Korean version

The phone is not rooted.

Android version

2.2.1

Baseband version

32.50.00.32U_5.12.00.08

Kernel version

2.6.32.9-ge8111ea

htc-kernel@u18000-Build-149#1

Build number

2.18.1010.4 CL269498 release-keys

Hboot-0.35.0017

Radio-5.12.00.08

I followed the exactly instructions to update my android to 2.3.3 and for some reason i get this message:

– Install from sdcard…

Finding update package…

Verifying update package…

E: failed to verify whole-file signature

E: signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

If i try to update to 2.2.2 i also get this message

is it possible that the released update zip file doesn’t work for my build number?

i also want to mention that i named the downloaded zip file properly and place it into the root of my sd card,downloaded using different browsers chrome,IE,opera even downloaded using the phone, with no luck.

Can i do anything to get the latest update?or i have to wait for the OTA update

Thanks in advance
[Nexus One General] navlem:
Thanks for the links! Gingerbread FTW!
[Nexus One General] willverduzco:
Excellent find. I am editing my OTA Sticky with this information, and obviously giving you credit. I am going to merge it with my thread in order to remove some clutter on the boards. Thanks for posting this.
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
So do we get more features and fewer bugs if we update from this full download?
[Nexus One General] pedr4m:
what's the difference in this full file?!? can I apply it from the previous version (43MB) or I should downgrade to FRG8G?
[Nexus One General] willverduzco:
They are both GRI40. The difference is that with the full version, you don't need to be at FRG83G to apply it, whereas with the 43MB one you do. They both end up being exactly the same once applied.
[Nexus One General] resadent:
Really great news, waited very long for this but now here it is. Waiting for desire developers to include these N1 new drivers into their ROMs, if they haven´t done yet.

Thanks for the info :)
[Nexus One General] alexelite:
Hi all and thanks for the great job you do.

I have a stock N1 with S-LCD running an OTA received 2.2.1 (FRG83D), never rooted.

PVT SHIP S-ON

MICROP 0c15

HBOOT 0.35.0017

RADIO 5.12.00.08

Jun 14 2010

I never received the OTA for 2.2.2, and I am certain I will never receive Gingerbread OTA either.

I tried every update I found on this thread. FRG83D to FRG83G, FRG83G to GIN40, full GIN40 update, HBOOT update. Redownloaded them from computer and phone 3 times each.

I always get:

– Install from sdcard…

Finding update package…

Verifying update package…

E: failed to verify whole-file signature

E: signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

always when progress bar reaches ~ 1/4

Tried removing the battery before, restoring to factory default, clearing everithing, formating card. Nothing worked.

From all I read on this forum one way would be to use clockworkMod to turn signature verification off, but my question is, if anyone can explain, why this signature verification fails?

Could it have anything to do with different hardware, for example AMOLED vs. SLCD? And I guess this is not the sole difference.

Thank you.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
You're running Vodafone version. Vodafone updates are delayed behind Google updates. This is the only difference.

If you have custom recovery - it can't understand Google signatures, that's why verification fails.

If you flash the full update found in this thread - you'll lose custom recovery and also lose the ability to root w/o unlocking bootloader. If you want to keep your bootloader locked for whatever reasons - go to Developers forum and download pre-rooted GRI40.

[Nexus One General] alexelite:
Many thanks to Amon_RA, Jack_R1 and s3tiks, and all others contributing to the softwares and advices used.

For other newbies like me I'll post the steps.

Starting from a Nexus One with vodafone custom recovery not accepting the stock google updates.

I used SuperOneClick v1.7 to get ROOT.

ROM Manager (from Market) to Flash ClockworkMod Recovery and then RA-passion-v2.2.1

From custom recovery I disabled signature verification and installed the full GIN40 update (first post in this topic).

After install finished, the phone restarted itself and re-enterd custom recovery with the message "Formatting cache:...". I waited a little, but nothing happened and I restarted the phone.

The X animation started and kept going and going and going. After following s3tiks advice I restarted in recovery (now stock recovery) and did a full wipe. Restarted and got Gingerbread :D

Now bootloader shows:

RADIO 5.08.00.04 (was RADIO 5.12.00.08)

What does this mean?

Jack_R1, please tell me, how did you knew it is a vodafone phone? I didn't know till you told me.

Problem solved: I restarted in Recovery Mode, did a full wipe and installed the GRI40 update. It did its thing and I got 2.3.3 very quickly.

Then I installed Problem !

I tried to install the Gingerbread upgrade and I was getting a "signature verification failed".

My phone is rooted, using UniversalAndRoot. Using ClockworkMod Recovery, I was able to bypass signature verification and the update installed. After a while, it rebooted and worked showing the colorful X animation for about 10 minutes, then rebooted showing the X animation for another 10 minutes, and again and again.

just by clicking it on my SD card on my non rooted Nexus One and it works. I

don´t understand you some people say to install have to be a different way like something similar to this:

* Download the Nexus S live wallpaper.apk from here.

* Copy the file to your SD-Card

* Open “Root Explorer”

* Do a backup of your “livewallpaper.apk” in “system/app”

* Copy the Nexus S “livewallpaper.apk” to “system/app”

* Reboot

Did i installed right? Thanks

This has nothing to do with your SD card. You need to use a custom recovery that disables signature verification. I used Amon Ra and then switched back to Clockwork.

I got the OTA with a custom rom?

How is it possible that I'm getting a system notification about the OTA Gingerbread 2.3.3 update when I'm running CM 6.1.1 which is froyo 2.2.1? I thought once you root and go with a custom rom you can't get system OTA updates anymore.

This notification pops up on my phone like every 15-20 minutes. If I apply the update to my current rom which is a CM froyo rom will it screw up my phone? I was going to wait until CM had a stable release before upgrading to gingerbread, but this notification is getting really annoying. Can anyone explain this?
[Nexus One General] gibosn6594:
Are you sure it's not a CM update notification?
[Nexus One General] Tech9000:
Forget about it that instructions were misleading because the guy that made them thought that the Nexus S wallpapers were only possible to install in custom Roms

Here is a direct link for the 2 REAL Nexus S live walll. APK`S

[Nexus One General] thatguy123:
Yea, I never registered with the new cm notification updates.
[Nexus One General] Dirk:
Wild stab in the dark but are you using a task killer? There is a process (FOTAKILL?) which supresses the OTA/Notification. If you stop it you will get this problem.
[Nexus One General] thatguy123:
I use system panel, but I have all processes and start up apps set to be excluded. I only kill things like the camera, browser, games, etc... stuff that shouldn't be running if not being used.

If I click on the notification it gives me the option to download the Gingerbread update which is like 47 mb, I'm just afraid to do it cuz of the rom I'm currently using.
[Nexus One General] Dirk:
This might be the solution you are looking for.
[Nexus One General] efrant:
The "PASSIMG method" means taking a shipped ROM (i.e., a complete ROM, i.e., with 8 images inside, i.e. - boot, hboot, radio, recovery, spcustom, splash1, system, and userdata) and renaming it to PASSIMG.zip. The only Froyo WWE shipped ROM available is FRG33...

P.S. And there is no Gingerbread shipped ROM.
[Nexus One General] machina77:

[Nexus One General] sarshadd:
Why does that one need my network based location and hardware (take pictures/video) permissions...?

[Nexus One General] atlana:
works like a charm on rooted stock FRG83G N1. Everything operates smoother/quicker - including 3D games. Had only one minor glitch, after incoming msg in the stock GTALK messenger, and switching to the GTALK app, my keyboard became "invisible" (pecking on the locations where keys suppose to be/are, resulted in displaying typed characters) screen refreshes or apps start/changes didn't help, had to restart the N1 (impatient as i was, i force-crashed the N1)

When you upgrade to Android 2.3.3, also unlock the music enhancements immediately that come with this release! You can do so by installing the new MusicFX control panel from the Android Market (search for MusicFX).

It will enable the bass boost, equalizer, and 3D surround experience to the Android Music player! (and allow you to set it to your personal preferences)
