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

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!

Thats because the RUU has NONE of the fixes that damageless had put in to make things work like they should. Try flashing it.
You need a custom recovery again first, and maybe busybox and some other stuff...

it should be an update.zip
not exe
just download his newest ROM. name it update.zip
put it on your sdcard (root location)
boot into recovery (by holding down the home and power button at the same time)
wipe/factory reset
then flash (apply: update.zip)
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.
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!
This is for those of you who are looking for a quick, easy way to revert to stock, or prefer to update from an older rom without losing your data.
Thanks to Jcase we have a new Rom with some significant fixes for this already awesome phone. I used his RUU to update my phone, did a system dump, deodexed it, and zipped it up for easy install. I take no credit for these files, just the simple task of compiling it in this format.
I have tested this on my phone and it works fine for me, I was able to upgrade from the stock rooted rom straight after following the permaroot instructions, and I didn't lose any data. I make no promises this this will work, or that it won't brick your phone.
First, if you're upgrading from a previous rom, you need to flash the Radio using the RUU from Adrynalyn's post:
http://www.multiupload.com/2VDSQ6SBAZ
Just copy the file to the root of your sdcard, reboot into the bootloader and flash like any other RUU. This will not wipe /data, but may cause you to lose stored text messages.
Next download the Rom from here:
http://www.androiddoes.net/~sonofskywalker3/Thunderbolt/Rom/Stock_Deodexed_4-18_Leak.zip
This is a Clockwork update.zip, so just use Rom Manager or reboot to recovery to flash it. This will not wipe /data, but will remove any /system modifications (removed/frozen bloat, stock apps)
And if you'd prefer a faster download, hop over to Androiddoes.net and use the direct download links.
Please let me know if you have any issues with this.
Thank you so much for this. I was looking for a way to update my rooted-stock without doing my setup all over again.
Really appreciate it...
No problem, just be aware that this will reinstall your /system partition, so if you've removed or frozen any system apps (preinstalled bloat, demos, etc.) they will come back.
I am safe to assume this has root pre installed, correct?

Yes, it is pre rooted, but I forgot to include busybox, so you can download it from the market or wait for v2 to upload...

Anything you have added to the /system partition will be deleted, but anything on /data (market downloads and most update.zip) will be fine. Any themes will be overwritten. This will leave s-off.

Did you use a custom kernel before? I read someone with the same problem and they reflashed their kernel and it fixed it.
Yeah, some people are reporting wifi issues until reflashing a kernel, there is not one built into this rom so it won't overwrite whatever you already have.
sonofskywalker3
any news on a v2??
this one still says the version is 1.12.605.6... was this built off of one of the earliest RUU releases where the OP had removed the version info?
i believe that is the reason. i hope lol
yes this is the newest update but it will still show the original release version numbers as this was to protect the leakers. Its the newest leak as of 4-18
the links seem to lead to the radio? where can i find the rom .zip? i would love to try this! thank you!
nvrm i was thinking it was radio buts it a rom file just same name*!
***yeah tried it and didnt work..
The Rom link in the thread definitely isn't the Rom. It's only 25mb. If you use the androiddoes site it has the right link.

Has anyone had any success with these instructions. I wanna take the plunge but there are no checksums and the ROM looks small.

The radio checksum is on adrynalyne's site. The link to the rom in this post is not the rom, but if you click on where I think it says high speed download or something like that it takes you to another site. The ROM on that one is right and works fine.
Edit: (And if you'd prefer a faster download, hop over to Androiddoes.net and use the direct download links.) Androiddoes.net has the right file.
