Hello, a friend of mine bought his Nexus 1 recently and installed cyanogen a few weeks back, but he wants to go back to stock. After searching, I cannot find any instructions on this. Could someone give me steps so he could revert back?

Does he want to unroot or does he just want to get the latest Froyo?
He just wants Froyo.
Flash the R20 Modaco FroYo rom, wipe, and you're back in business (assuming the phone is on the FroYo radio already).

Tell him to sit tight for a week, then he'll have all the froyo features on cm.

so what is your question?
are u asking if theres a alrdy a custom 1.6 rom? or asking if anyone went back to stock just to try out the official 1.6
Asking if any1 went back to stock to try 1.6
Why.... just get one of the 1.6 roms here....
I used the link to get 1.6, and I love the speed increase.
I haven't bothered to root yet. I bricked my G1 on 1.5, so I am skerred.

I just got bored of these custom roms, and all the fc's but nothings perfect so i went ahead n unrooted last week now this week its donut fun for me,
Hey guys
Was bored so rooted my phone the other day (thanks to everyone who's posted help files on here ) but now 1.6 has been released in the UK, I want the update. I've found a guide on how to unroot but it only provides links to the US files - any idea where I can get the original G1 1.5 UK ROM to flash back to stock (and, if neccessary, the recovery, too?)
Thanks
Thinking about it, I guess I could follow the guidance to root my phone (not using the 1-click method) but then it would take hours to get back to 1.5 and then 1.6 and, persumably, wipe my data (not ideal but if neccessary...)
Why not flash a 1.6 ROM?
Im using Cyanogen 4.1.999, thats 1.6 ish

the speaker blew out, real deal, speaker phone and ring tone were totally garbled. I was a little worried that I screwed myself with the leak, but 2 stores and the chick at the support desk said still warrantied, sent it right out. loading onto my original right now..

hope this helps in rooting 2.leak or this version for that matter..
I'm going to get my new eris at 1.5 tomorrow so I will try it out anyway. I'll post back with my results
Wouldn't it be safe to flash any rom, if you have the recovery on an already rooted phone? That way you can just restore from a nandroid or BART backup if it doesn't work?

I had the 2.1 leak so I never got to root mine.
Anyone else try this? Difference vs the first leak? Can I install this over the first leak?

google sign in error fixed. No gmail picture fix. Thats bout it.
Is it worth trying? I read it could be faster, any truth to it?
If you have 1.5 dont install it, install my rom or wait til someone better than I comes up with a rom based on 2.1 ota.
I have been using the leak since the first day it came out.
Has anyone tried to downgrade from this leak to 1.5?

now that i am on 2.1 official
step 2:
trying rooted 1.5 [FAIL] version is older
next step, try just 2.1 rooted version
Hey Guys,
My wife has had the official Sprint 2.1 on her phone for a month or so and has had nothing, but problems. I am sure she would love to go back to stock 1.5 and I know she really doesn't want me to root her phone, but I am just wondering what options I have to get her something more stable. Her phone really has worked horrible since the update, I have been on various 2.1 roms for months and have not had near the problems she has had. Thanks for any ideas.

i say go ahead and root it. i was so scared when i rooted mine but it was all pretty easy. and its almost impossible to brick your phone. and then flash this rom
its the stock 2.1 rom just rooted and literally no issues and a major speed increase. my 2cents
It is not an issue of me rooting her phone. My phone is rooted and has been forever. I flash roms all the time. She does not want her phone rooted, but if that is the only option I might be able to convince her. However I am not convinced anything stock even with root would be a good option.

That is your only option. The way HTC designed this phone you cannot downgrade back to 1.5 unless HTC put out a new RUU to do so(which isn't going to happen).
If she wants 1.5 then you have to root to do so.
My wife didnt want me to root her samsung moment. I did it anyways, and she couldnt be happier. Have it overclocked as well.
Just dont tell the wife...they'll never know. Woman don't like technology change. You have to override that.

^^^^^^^^^^^^
I was going to say the same thing. Just root it and flash a ROM and say here you go. She can always run the 2.1 RUU again.
See, your problem is, you need your Wife to be rooted so you can have SU access.
Once you do that, then you can root her phone.....
Well I can tell she is frustrated, when she just looked at me and said "I don't care just get it fixed." Now I just need to read up on how to root a stock 2.1 since I did mine back at 1.5.

i think they make an app where you can just click on it and its rooted. i'll find it real quick
here is the link to that http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695698
or follow the GUIDE in the development section. It takes 8 min to root the stock 2.1 RUU. Hopefully she's on the .5 build tho. Very simple
I just send my SGS in for repairs and got a HTC legend as a loaner...
I read through some of the threads but going to a new phone its hard to find how the process of putting roms are done on it...
Is it like this SGS where i can put a custom rom and when im about to send the phone back i can restore to stock? I'd like to try froyo but i'd also like to be able to go back to stock so they can take it back
Froyo is now available for Legend with an update, no need for root to try out Android 2.2.

Firmware version 2.1-update1
Thats 2.1 isn't it? Software update "no updates available"
I just wanted to try some of the custom roms here to make things speedy and comfortable.. but i wanted to make sure i could undo it before sending it back.
Oh okay, I've got the update on my Legend though...
I have been trying out some custom Froyo roms, I then went back to stock 2.1 RUU when the phone needed a repair thru waranty, and then updated to the original 2.2 update. So it is possible to go back and unroot it, yes. But I'm not sure what the chances are that you won't be able to unroot. Look around in this forum, im sure there is alot of discussions about unrooting...

I have a found a guide on unrooting...
I'm just confused on many steps -- I've come from SGS which is pretty easy to do everything on...
I need to downgrade, root, upgrade, mess about and if i want to send back. downgrade again, unroot then upgrade to 2.2?
My question is, all this is possible right? unrooting in the end gives you stock rom + no root...
So what I'm wondering, where do i find the stock rom? (this is a bell phone)
Once i find stock rom everything else should be findable from what i've read..
I just need to know how to hold my stock rom right now so when i upgrade i don't lose it and when i send it back i can restore it...
Will this work through CWR?
Stock ROMs for Legend can be found on the shipped-roms website. The stock one you need for Bell can be found here:
