is this updater sort of similar to the android os update? i am on cyanogen 5.0.6. lets say when 6.0 is out, i can simply use this updater on my phone to update or will i need to do the whole process as when i first did when i unlocked my phone?
You can use it or rom manager. Or you can do it via recovery, I think.
All it does is download the zip file and run a script to reboot into recovery and flash the rom.

Kinda streamlines everything and handles the dirt work eh?
well even if it sets everything to my sd card so its ready to go in recovery, i guess its useful since i dont check for updates daily. only problem is ill still have to go back to see instructions since i have done it once! haha good stuff though.

Yes, useful for some. My philosophy is learn to do it the long way and know what everything does, then use shortcuts to automate it.

Hey guys. It's been awhile since I've rooted my phone, and the only thing keeping me from flashing a new ROM was the fact that I intended to return my current Hero for one that wouldn't get dust under the screen (I have some in the lower left hand corner). Well, I've decided I'm either too lazy to go return it or I just don't care that much anymore. So, I would like to get a new ROM now In your opinion, what would be the fastest ROM right now, that is the most stable? Keep in mind, I do NOT want to use Apps2SD (I only have a Class 2 card). I also would like to eventually add those optimized APK's that have been zipaligned in the future, and I want a lock screen that is clear (displays carrier/time text though... I've seen one around somewhere), and I want a clear notifications pull-down. The only thing I've been paying attention to right now has been getting 2.0/2.1 on our phones, so I've lost track of all the ROM's that were made (maybe someone can sticky the ones BESIDES MoDaCo's?), so that's why I'm asking for your help.
Also, I've made a nandroid backup, and of course, rooted. Is there anything else I would have to do to flash a new ROM?
Thanks so much guys!
Fresh's 1.0 is my favorite
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584032
or his main site here: http://geekfor.me/
If you run the delock mod, it will remove the lock icon and make it clear:
http://bit.ly/delock
There is a known message app issue, make sure to run this update as well:
http://bit.ly/freshmsgpatch
Other than that, the apps are already zipaligned, just update via recovery.
Alright, that's pretty much what I needed to hear Thanks so much! Oh, and it doesn't have Apps 2SD right?
it does have apps2sd, but only uses it if your sd card has a EXT2/3 partition
i used fresh 1.0 as well. no complaints. however the new 2.1 rom looks tempting.

your welcome
you don't have to restore to stock or anything, just run the install after making a backup and your existing settings/data will stay intact.
I'm not using apps2sd and running it just fine.
I think you can set it up if you prefer it, but I didn't want to.
so the option is there I believe if you do ever want it

yeah it does, but I'm waiting until they get accelerometer and multi-touch working, I ran the install when it was first posted and like what I see, but I need a solid phone, lol
Oh, and this is REALLY noobish, and forgive me for not searching... but do I have to rename the ROM to update.zip?

Ok so I just watched a video on how to flash a new ROM for the HTC Hero (Euro)... do I have to Wipe Data if I'm installing Fresh ROM? Or can I just go ahead with Apply sdcard: update.zip?
no, just select choose zip

You shouldn't have to. Just load the zip onto your sd card and nandroid has an option to choose which zip file you want to install..

Ok wait, so it is a NO to having to rename the ROM to update.zip, but what about about Wiping Data first? Do I have to do that or can I just skip that and flash it?

No, just flash over what you have now. It *should* work just fine.
to be honest, I can't recall.
try it without first, if it never boots all the way and sticks,, then power off and wipe data through recovery.
Ok, thanks And then if anything bad happens, all I have to do is Reboot back into the recovery, and then press Wipe Data? Sounds good. Oh, and I should probably put my nandroid backup on my sdcard.

your backup from recovery is on your sdcard, that's where mine are.
I make a backup of that to my laptop from time to time just to be safe.
have fun!

I know, the file is big (like 288mb), so I just cut it off my sdcard and put it on my desktop. But I'm going to put it back now

check this link out, I think the see-thru notification bar is something you were looking for, plus there are a couple of extra goodies

Download files and place on SD card:
update-nexusone-FRF50-noradio-signed.zip from Modaco.com (May 24: noradio files added - should work fine for T-Mo & AT&T!)
froyo-rooter-signed.zip from Cyanogen
Titanium Backup -> Backup all user apps
Turn off phone -> Hold Volume Down, then Press Power button
Enter Recovery
Backup/Restore -> Nand backup
Wipe if you have a Sense UI ROM (no wipe needed coming from Cyanogen)
Flash update-nexusone-FRF50-signed.zip
Reboot, you'll get Android-falling-out-of-box
It will reboot into Recovery, select Reboot again
It should boot into 2.2, yay!
You should still have root, but if you want BusyBox (or lost root somehow), Cyanogen has done it again! Go back into Recovery and flash froyo-rooter-signed.zip. Then Titanium Backup will work once again.

don't worry about it. Just flash it. You'll get a speed bump. I did. Getting about 1mb faster DL speeds. Its crazy... especially since its mid-day saturday. I'm on ATT 3g in chicago.

so when updating to froyo does rooted nexus one becomes just like the stock one, means do we need to root it again to install custom Rom
Thank you. This is awesome and super easy to execute. Thanks again.
Nice! thanks for the write up.
one thing that confuses me though, i have rooted my phone but have the stock rom (nadroid from cyanogen 506), will i be able to get the OTA when it rolls for the ATT version? Or only manual update for me?
thanks.
Everything works, great post by paul as usual
I followed these steps (was running Cyanogen 5.0.6) and it works perfectly. I have the AT&T/Rogers version. I didn't wipe and all my apps/settings are intact!
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU DO WITH THIS!
This file is the official ROM from the latest 2.1 RUU. The only thing I did to it was process it in the Android Kitchen to remove the HBOOT update and Recovery update. This is for anyone looking for a clean official ROM that they want to add stuff to. Nothing is modified. I installed it on my phone and everything is working fine. Root is not even installed. If you want overclocking and root use the other attached files. Flash the files you want.
Install using rooted recovery.
OTA notifications are NOT disabled so ignore them in the future.
Remember to wipe user data before exiting recovery.
ROM will not wipe user data on its own.
DON'T flash downloaded ZIP! Extract the archive and then flash whats inside.
Enjoy!

For Clarification:
I sort of went one step further then PlaneJane and this IS a stock ROM. The only thing different between this and the VZW RUU is that its safe to flash without overwriting recovery or your bootloader. The user does the customization.
UPDATE:
If you want the new OTA release in July 2010 download http://www.multiupload.com/NUFVZNVDGD by n8thegr8 and install in recovery. If your using all the files I gave flash the update in this order.
Boot into rooted recovery.
Flash update.zip.
Flash root ZIP.
Flash overclocking kernel.
After that reboot and recovery will flash new radio.
WAIT until its completely done!
Phone will reboot again and your done!
After last reboot it takes some time at the Verizon screen to apply the update.
very cool man thx
so this is a variation of plain jane correct?

Sort of. I didn't even see what PlaneJane was all about other than its basically stock. I sort of went one step further and this IS a stock ROM. The only thing different between this and the VZW RUU is that its safe to flash without overwriting recovery or your bootloader. The user does the customization. Root is not even installed on the ROM. I included the ZIP for root and overclocking if you want it.
Hope that clears things up.

Hello. Please help me. my phone can not use the rom manage. I have used one once, but can not be used again. when I turn on the program, still connected 3g/wifi but nothing more happened at all. I have copied the program into the correct directory. My phone rooted.This phenomenon occurs after I Flast 2.1
What doesnt work? Does it not install? Why are you copying the app at all? Why not install from Market?
I installed the application from Market but I can not use the rom manage.
I don't know!

Rom Manager*
You have to be rooted to use it.
You can't expect people to help you if you don't tell them the problem.
So its installed, did you flash the clockworkmod? Should be the top most option.

Also, did you download it from the market, or did you steal the pro version from online? I am asking because you said "I copied it to the right directory"
Maybe I understand his/her problem. Rooted, installed RM but cannot install Clockwork?
Few options here, search for the standalone update.zip with Clockwork and do it that way OR wait a few hours and try again.
The 1st choice I had to do once because RM wasn't liking my phone and the 2nd choice sometimes the server is down.
First, my phone t959 rom UVJI6 normal. Then my rom to version 2.2 T959UVJFD. I do not feel satisfied so I returned to the Odin 2.1.
My phone has a normal root and fix lag.
but then, I could not manage to use the rom again.
Sorry for my english level is limited. I'm from Vietnam

If youre trying to flash another rom you need to disable the lagfix first.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
My assumption is you have OCLF, try removing it then giving it a go.
Google a clockwork update zip that is pushable with ODIN, I found one the other day. I MAY have it still but I am not sure and I honestly have no clue where I found it, wasn't xda I am about 90% sure. It is not really a solid fix but will get you to where you have CWM. Rom Manager will not recognize you have it installed but when you go to enter recovery mode it will enter into CWM.
Did you by chance also flash a custom kernal? When I tested out a few I noticed my phone did the same thing, my knowledge currently doesn't expand far enough to know if they can even be related though. I am still learning a lot myself.

You need to DL the whole rom, first backup your apps with something like titanium...Then goto CWM and wipe everything, its recommended by evil.
