OTA update in update.zip format with root options

The update in conventional zip format, with root options is here!
P

Works mint! I was running Modoco 1.3 ROM, heres the steps I performed:
recovery install: update-nexusone-ERE27-signed.zip
recovery install: update-nexusone-radio-32.24.00.22U_4.03.00.21_2-signed.zip
./fastboot-linux boot boot.ERE27.superboot.img
./fastboot-linux flash zimage zImage-2.6.29.6
./adb remount
./adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko

Can I flash this manually WITHOUT being rooted?

I posted a thread on updating without root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=627533

Modaco's page confused me a little.
Does the "Main update" include the radio update, or did he split that off and they're completely separate?
Can the main update be installed using a rooted, but stock, rom and recovery?
In other words, if I just want exactly what the OTA would give me, on my rooted (by superboot) but stock N1, what do I need to do?
Thanks!

I'm completely stock rom / not rooted and I just did this:

1. Get the update from Google: http://android.clients.google.com/updates/passion/signed-passion-ERE27-from-ERD79.a487b405.zip
2. Put the update on your SD card & rename it to update.zip
3. Boot in recovery mode (hold down trackball + power)
4. Go to bootloader -> recovery
5. Now there's a picture of a droid with a triangle
6. Press the power button + volume up
7. Apply sdcard:update.zip
8. Updating
9. Reboot system now
10. Enjoy the multitouch

Worked great.

Thanks Paul. That's what I first tried, and it failed. I posted the details here, but haven't heard anything back yet.

I'm in the same exact boat as you. I rooted my phone last week because i was eager to get multitouch working, so i followed this tutorial:
theunlockr[dot]com/2010/01/21/how-to-enable-multitouch-browsing-on-your-nexus-one-using-the-native-browser/
So now when i try to apply the OTA update manually in recovery mode i get:
Code:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installing update...

assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Browser.apk" , "68a23e4ac9d6a783b6166b24ab79d12c6544e8f4" , "4da6d3fd306ef7fc81e19147da395f13221e70307")
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Does anyone know what i can do to get this OTA up and running? Im rooted but i havent flashed any custom roms or recoveries either.
This is my first android phone so i'm a bit of a noob and new to the scene. Any help would be greatly appreciated

check that guide out, it was simple and easy to follow...

Thanks JHaste.
But those are pretty much the exact instructions I followed that gave me the error.
My phone is rooted, but running the stock rom.
No custom rom, no patched browser.
The only changes I've made since rooting it are to copy some Thai fonts into the fonts directory.
The exact specifics of my error are posted in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5528501&postcount=118
Very similar to what PhantomRampage listed, but a slightly different cause, I think... (his is an error on Browser.apk)

Thanks for trying but as i said before, i tried that and it fails because i have an unlocked bootloader.
Sorry if my first post was confusing, ill try again.
I unlocked my bootloader and rooted my N1 the other day, i also modified and added some files to get pinch-to-zoom working on the native browser. To do that i followed some tutorial on theunlockr, i cant post direct links so google it and you'll find it easily.
So, now i want to apply the new OTA update but it fails, either because i have root access or because i tampered with the browser files im guessing.
Knowing all that, what can i do to install the new update?
Also, will i have to download patched updates from now on since i rooted my phone? I'm really hoping i dont have to; i'd prefer to install the ota updates as they come out officially.

might have found a solution
check out:
forum (dot) androidcentral (dot) com / google-nexus-one/6469-will-my-n1-receive-ota-ere27-update-cyanogen-mod (dot) html
seems to be just what i was looking for but i think i want to re-flash the stock firmware instead, i want to stay as stock as possible so i can install future OTA updates without having to go through all this trouble. Can anyone help me with that please?
Anyways, i hope my link will help some people. Sorry for the double post

[Q] Rom Manager- Not able to verify whole-file signature

Hey guys,
I am pretty new with the android OS but I am trying my hardest to read up on it and wrap my head around it. so please bear with me.
I have a verizon fascinate that was purchased a week ago and I rooted it.
I have the Rom Manager installed and the OS is running smoothly. I was going to install a custom Rom on my phone but when I tried to back up the current Rom using the Rom manager. it will boot into the Android system recover (2e) and this is what shows up on my phone:
-- Install from Package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
verifying update package...
E:faield to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
with that massage I dont think that I have my current Rom backed up any where...
does any one know how I can get passed this step?
I dont have much knowledge about the android operating system so if some one can help me out with this it would be freaking awesome!
---
I have not installed anything crazy, Rooted with the One click root. and Used the Titanium back up software.

You have to flash the Clockwork kernel/recovery onto it to run the update.zip that activates the backup stuff. See here.
MAKE SURE YOU FLASH INTO THE "PDA" SECTION OF ODIN AND NOT THE "PHONE" PART. "Phone" will brick your device.

Works perfect now!
Thank you very much!

i'm having the same problem, but i've already flashed clockwork? did i miss something?

[Q] HTC MyTouch 3G 32B Updating to Froyo Problems

Hello, at first my HTC MyTouch died after OTA update to 2.2.1 version. So I reinstalled android OS, updated it to 1.6 version DMD64, downloaded all 3 updates to Froyo, installed the fist one (~300kb), and then trying to install second (~53mb) it comes out this this error:
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding Update package...
Opening Update package...
Verifying Update package...
Installing update...
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot")
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installion aborted.
Maybe anyone knows how to fix this? Please help
P.S. I downloaded the update several times, and from several places, but allways it ends with same problem.

I also tried to install CM 4,5 even 6 but everytime I get the same error with BOOT, like this - assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot")
It would be good if I could at least turn off the update to 2.2.1 version and stay at 1.6 version, but the update reminder is so annoying

what do you mean the phone "died" is this your second phone?
You can try rooting the phone and putting a custom recovery and just install CM 6.

"died" I mean it stuck on green booting screen.
Yes I can install random recovery, but the phone don't install CM6 it installs about half and then it comes with error about boot.img and aborts installion. I get the same error installing CM4, CM5 and even official Froyo update.

Also I wanted to ask, what is the Perfected SPL?

Cant Boot
Same Problem wid my Htc magic 32B can anybody solve it??

Errors when attempting to apply update.zip

I have the European (stock) version of the Galaxy S running 2.2.
I am attempting to install Darky’s 2.2.1 ROM and when I attempt to apply update.zip in recovery mode, I get the errors
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
My phone was originally rooted using the ‘one click lag fix’ that you can download from the marketplace. I also had Voodoo, but I disabled this. When I try to use OCLF to root my phone again, everything is ‘redded out’ except for check free disk space. I’m not quite sure why this is.
Does anyone know what’s going on here? I want to get my super fast cool looking ROM!

e3 needs signed updates, you need to flash e2 recovery to apply unsigned ones. CF-root includes e2 recovery, there's others as well

XIAfbk is totally right, first flash CF-root with Odin, then go into recovery mode.

[Q] Help please.

Hey. I am very new to the Droid X. I just got it as a replacement phone because I lost my HTC Incredible. I was so used to my Incredible that I only know how to half-way use this phone. I rooted this phone as soon as it was in my home. However, while trying to install GB on it, I realized I used the wrong Bootstrap Recovery. So now my phone just gets stuck on the "M" Logo. I'm not some fool that didn't do any research about this before coming here. But nothing has worked for me.
I tried re-installing to the stock rom 2.2.1 (2.3.340)
But whenever I try installing from the STOCK RECOVERY (because I can't seem to access Clockworkmod Recovery) The bar fills about 25% and cancels leaving the message :
"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
.E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted."
Please help. Thank you ><
