Downgrading to stock 2.1 from Froyo, UK Nexus One - Nexus One General

Hey all,
Been looking around for answers to this now, not finding any.
Is it possible, and easy, to downgrade back to the stock 2.1 ROM from Froyo? I've got a Stock N1 that i upgraded to Froyo. Now i hear that Google pulled the official file and i am thinking of going back to 2.1 until they push the 2.2 OTA.
Also, is there any difference between the UK stock 2.1 ROM and the US?
Appreciate any help, thanks.

Only if you root.

tmobile htc gero g2 touch custom firmware question

hi im in europe so 2.1 firmware is not available so can i use 2.1 custom firmware if so will all features work and can i revert it back to stock so when the official 2.1 comes out so i could revert to the official 2.1?
Yes if you have a GSM Hero any of the ROMs in the Development section will be fine to use. ... Use BTDAG's guide linked in my signature for instructions. .....And yes, if you feel the need to return back to stock you can do so by running one of the RUU .exe files.

Downgrading from 2.1 to 1.56

After much research on the site, I wasn't able to locate anything current on if a 2.1 can be downgraded back to the 1.56 version?
I am currently running the latest v1.56 fresh mod, and it runs great and have no problems with it. I am debating on upgrading to the newest Cyanogen mod, but I do NOT want to be stuck w/ 2.1 if it doesn't work properly. I had to have Sprint send me a new phone after I upgraded last time because the 2.1 just totally screwed with my in-car bluetooth device. Right now, bluetooth is very stable and such, but now just wanting to try the update.
If I wanted to downgrade, how exactly would I do that? I'm kinda gunshy on doing this since it all seems to be working fine right now.
Any help is appreciated!
Just root your 1.56 device as it is, using an old root method for 1.5 versions. Do NOT apply the 2.1 RUU or use the root steps for 2.1.
When you're rooted on 1.56 and have a custom recovery, you can apply any ROM you want, including the newer 2.1 ROMs.....all without fully upgrading your whole phone to the stock 2.1 release.
This is what I've done. Technically my phone is still on 1.5 root, because I never applied the official 2.1 RUU. But with the custom recovery image (you'll see how to get that in the rooting guide), I am running a 2.2 ROM. I could easily uninstall/delete this ROM and still return to the 1.5 stock state.
This will let you try CM6 or any other 2.1 or 2.2 ROMs without crossing that "can't go back" state. PM me for more help if you'd like.

Question about Returning to Stock

Hey all
As soon as i got my verizon lg g2 phone i flashed a custom rom and since then i have not had working GPS. i have tried a bunch of fixes and nothing works. So it seems i need to flash back to stock and open a GPS app so it can find signal then i can flash to a rom if i desire.
My question is...
Which version should i flash back to? should i flash the kitkat VS98024A_11 or an older and take the OTA? I want to be able to root after i flash back to stock and would like some input on the best process to accomplish this.
Thanks for any help and direction you can provide!
