EPE54B (new N1- AT&T) -> FRF50 -> FRF83 & beyond (hopefully) in 20 minutes
and FROYO IS AWESOME !!! Believe me , it's really worth making this effort .
Ok guys , I think it's time for me to contribute some documentation for the XDA forum. As mentioned in the Topic's header , I moved to Froyo y'day night and wanted to share the process with the AT&T N1 ppl on the forum who are ready to unlock the bootloader but are lazy/frightened to go about the so-called lengthy process.
I am a new N1 & a new android user (just a month old ) who has spent sleepless nights like some of the people in this forum and most of the people (here) waiting for the Froyo OTA to hit their N1's. After a 3 week sleep disorder I finally went in for the kill. Thanks to Paul for his guide and others in the forum because of which,this it was accomplished in just 20 minutes.
AT&T N1 (EPE54B) owners who are bold enough to unlock their boot loader ... here's the way to glory.
Senior XDA members please correct the process if you feel something is not right.
I will be using most of the info provided by Paul in his post (here) and I hope he wouldn't mind , if I use his info.And believe me guys , it seriously takes only 20 minutes.
DISCLAIMER
1) I do not take credit for any of the stuff posted here. It's mostly from Paul's guide and other sources. All credits go to the original up-loaders.
2) This is a step-by-step guide which I have prepared from the process I have followed to reach FROYO and am not responsible if it doesn't work for you.
2)You agree that by doing this process, I'm not responsible for any bricked devices.
Unlocking the bootloader will void your warranty.
This process will erase all of your phone's data.
INITIAL SETUP
1) Download android-sdk_r06-windows.zip
2) Unzip to C:\ drive so it looks like C:\android-sdk-windows\
3) Run SDK Setup.exe
4) In the screen that pops out - Double click everything so it has a red X except for green check mark next to "USB Driver Package"
( which means just have to install the USB Driver)
5) On you Nexus 1 - Navigate to 'Settings -> Application -> Development -> enable USB debugging'.
6) Connect your nexus one to the computer through the USB cable provided with your phone.
7) Wait for the PC to install the device driver.
- If it doesn't then --- 'New Hardware Found -> Point the install location to C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver\'
8) Once the driver is found and installed ; On your computer open a command window. 'start -> Run -> type 'cmd' -> hit 'ENTER'.
9) On the command screen: Type "cd c\" ; Hit 'ENTER' key
10) Then Type: "cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" ; Hit 'ENTER' key
11) Type: adb devices ; Hit 'ENTER' key
- It should say something similar to "HT123P123456 device" (this is your phone's serial number).
- If it says "cannot find" or "invalid path" etc, make sure you're typing *exactly* what the green text above says.
- If it says something else, try to reinstall the USB Driver package and restart your PC.
12) If it works, your PC is correctly recognizing the phone. Continue on to the next step!
UNLOCK BOOTLOADER
1) Turn off your nexus one.
2) Press and hold the trackball and also press the power button ( while still holding the trackball pressed).
3) A white screen with three droids at the bottom appears.
4) A RED background highlights "FATSBOOT" which changes to "FASTBOOT USB" in a second or two.
5) Now, On your computer open a command window. 'start -> Run -> type 'cmd' -> hit 'ENTER'.
6) On the command screen: Type "cd c\" ; Hit 'ENTER' key
7) Then Type: "cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" ; Hit 'ENTER' key
8) Now on your computer; TYPE: fastboot devices
- It should say something similar to "HT123P123456 fastboot" (this is your phone's serial number). If it doesn't say this, something is wrong.
- If you are typing fastboot devices and it just returns a blank line or ???????? (ie Windows 7 64-bit users), try using USB drivers in the PdaNet install:
http://www.junefabrics.com/android/download.php
9) If it shows the device number , then you are set to go.
10) On the command window opened previously ; TYPE: fastboot oem unlock
11) Read the screen carefully. If you click on unlock it will wipe all your DATA!! and also Unlock your phone .
12) Use the volume control keys on your nexus one to switch options and then press the power key to select the option.
13) An "unlocked padlock" appears while booting and YAY!! you are unlocked!!!!
14) Shut down your phone and boot into the boot loader ( Trackball pressed + power button )
INSTALL(FLASH) RECOVERY
1) Download the latest Amon_RA's recovery img from here
2) move it to "C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" .
3) On your computer open a command window. 'start -> Run -> type 'cmd' -> hit 'ENTER'.
4) On the command screen: Type "cd c\" ; Hit 'ENTER' key
5) Then Type: "cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" ; Hit 'ENTER' key
6) On you computer's command window -- Type: fastboot devices and make sure your device's number is showing up.
7) On you computer's command window -- Type: fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.img
8) It should say: sending 'recovery' (3962 KB)... OKAY . . . . . writing 'recovery'... OKAY This should take a few seconds.
9) If flashing the recovery was successful, use the menu options to boot directly into recovery, or restart your phone normally.(without going to the bootloader screen).
Rooting
1) Download the nexus-addon-0.1-signed.zip from here.
2) Copy the file onto your SD card. ( It should be in the root folder of your SD card i.e don't put it under any directories).
3) Shut down your nexus one
4) Boot into the boot loader ( Trackball pressed + power button )
5) Press the power button once ( quickly and for a very short time ).
6) The screen changes and you move to the Fastboot screen.
7) Do Not do anything for about 8-10 seconds. It scans for some files and returns to the "FastBoot Screen"
8) Now use the "volume down" button to select "Recovery" and press the power button.
9) Do this step only if you didn't use Superboot: Use trackball -> "Flash zip from from sdcard" -> nexus-addon-0.1-signed.zip
- If you get a Triangle with a ! in the middle alongside an Android for 5+ minutes, you MAY have to remove battery and re-flash recovery (I had to do this once.) (Make absolutely sure that nothing is happening on your phone, as removing the battery when it's doing something can cause a brick.)
- Alternatively, try the optional Superboot method, and then re-flash Amon_RA's recovery image.
10) Select Reboot.
Phew .. that was hard ... but here comes the best part !!!
INSTALL FRF50 with Radio
1) Download the FRF50 with Radio zip file from here (Paul's FRF50 ROM).
2) Copy the file onto your SD card. ( It should be in the root folder of your SD card i.e don't put it under any directories).
3) Rename it to update.zip and make sure it's not "update.zip.zip". ( if you have the extension names off ).
4) Shut down your nexus one.
5) Boot into the boot loader ( Trackball pressed + power button )
6) Press the power button once ( quickly and for a very short time ).
7) The screen changes and you move to the Fastboot screen.
8) Do Not do anything for about 8-10 seconds. It scans for some files and returns to the "FastBoot Screen"
9) Now use the "volume down" button to select "Recovery" and press the power button.
10) The phone now boots into Recovery.
11) Use your phone's "Trackball" to Navigate and press the "trackball" to execute the selection.
12) Run the following
a) Backup/Restore -> Nand backup
b) Wipe -> Wipe data/factory reset
c) Wipe -> Dalvik Cache
13) Then press the "volume down" button to return to the main recovery screen.
14) Now , select "Flash zip from sdcard" and in the next screen select the "update.zip" file.
15) You get an "install completed" message after about 15-20 seconds.
16) Reboot and you are into the wonderful world of "FROYO".
FRF50 -> FRF83
1) Ok, now I think you are already enjoying your delicious dessert. Let's add some strawberries to it.
2) Download the PAUL modified FRF50 -> FRF83 zip file from HERE.
3) Connect your phone to the USB cable and mount the card.
4) Remove the existing update.zip file from the SDcard.
5) Copy the downloaded FRF83 file into the SDcard's root folder and rename it to "update.zip".
6) Shut down your nexus one.
7) Boot into the boot loader ( Trackball pressed + power button )
8) Press the power button once ( quickly and for a very short time ).
9) The screen changes and you move to the Fastboot screen.
10) Do Not do anything for about 8-10 seconds. It scans for some files and returns to the "FastBoot Screen"
11) Now use the "volume down" button to select "Recovery" and press the power button.
12) The phone now boots into Recovery.
13) Select "Flash zip from sdcard" and in the next screen select the "update.zip" file
14) Wait for the most annoying 15-25 seconds and reboot.
15) VOILA , you are on the latest and greatest android update for Nexus one.!!!!
I think I'll wait, but excellent work on putting all of that together!
Thanks for the step by step. I believe another approach is to not root (just unlock the bootloader) and to flash back to the TMO ROM and use the leaked official updates. I'm trying to determine which to do.

As far as the info goes from this forum .. I came to know that unlocking the bootloader will void warranty. SO I felt that it's worth rooting the phone after unlocking it as we have advantages like Titanium backup and a lot more ...
I did a similar procedure, flashing my phone to ERE54B--->ERE27-->FRF50-->FRF83
I unlocked the bootloader/rooted in the process, but in the end I end.. I installed FRF50--FRF83 to my unrooted nexus one on ATT.
I wish I had tried applying the ERE27 original ROM to my phone with a locked bootloader, I don't know if it would of worked or not.
Either way, I am an ATT Nexus one on FRF83. It's quite nice
Nice instructions, good job compiling!
However, there is no need to flash FRF50 first, and then FRF83. You can just flash Paul's FRF83, and the radio separately.
AvengerBB, a prerequisite of Amon_RA's recovery image is a rooted phone. I am not sure exactly why it requires root, though.

It wouldn't have.
Just to clarify for me..
I understand unlocking bootloader is what 'voids' your warranty is required to root. It is also not possible to 'undo'.
Is having a 'rooted' phone what prevents you from getting OTA updates, or is having an unlocked bootloader?
If you have a phone with an unlocked bootloader, but not rooted... does google/android OS know any different? (Not warranty claims, but for S/W updates)?
Basically, if/when the ERE54B-->2.2 Update goes official, can I flash back to ERE54B and get the 'original' upgrade intended for my phone if I unroot it. Or will I from here on out have to manually update my phone?
Would you guys PLEASE take a look at this and tell me if you are having this trouble too!
nice work, very well documented, glad someone did this. Thank you.
I think I will continue to wait out the official OTA, but if I get antsy this weekend I know where to come for instructions.
stick this thread!
I have a rooted and bootloader unlocked AT&T version nexus one and I have already installed the FRF50 WITHOUT the radio. Should I go back and reinstall FRF50 with the radio before upgrading to FRF83? On by current build the phone sometimes doesn't reconnect to AT&T service once it has lost service and I need to restart the phone. Does Paul's FRF50 ROM have a radio that supports AT&T? Kinda a noob, sorry. Thanks in advance for the help.

You need to flash the newer 12_7 radio. The radio image remains the same for ATnT or T-mobile, the actual frequencies are decided by hardware. No need to re-flash FRF50 - just flash the new radio from here - http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/nexus/radio-4.06.00.12_7.img
You can use "fastboot flash radio radio...img" command to flash it. After flashing new radio, flash FRF83. It is highly recommended that you flash only compatible OS and radio versions.
Man
I have followed all the steps but when I go to flash the update from the sdcard it gives me the an error that says there is no signature and install aborted. What could this be from? I have tried those steps again and again. Please help.

You can't re-lock the bootloader without being very lucky, you need an S-OFF SPL. Just having an unlocked bootloader won't effect your ability to get OTA updates, it's custom ROMs and recoveries that do that.
If you're going through all that trouble, just use Paul's superboot to FRF83.
Finally got it to work! It didn't fix my video recording bug though. When I switch from camera to video it just freezes and reboots. Did they ever find a workaround for this? I would appreciate the help.
Shouldn't need a work around, mine doesn't suffer from it.

Arent you guys facing troubles with this radio?
My gps is innacurate... i think that is because of the radio image!
If with the oficial froyo it does not is fixed i will flash back my 4.04 radio!
Take a look at this to read about my trouble please!
Need some help. Everything worked up to this point.

I didn't get an "install completed" message. Instead it says, "Reboot via vol-up+vol-down or menu to complete installation." Then when I reboot it goes to the android falling out of the box image, and then boots back into recovery. I can restore with the nand backup just fine, but this method doesn't seem to work for me. I believe it's the damn radio upgrade that is causing the problems because right before the reboot it says "Writing radio image...". Anybody else experienced this?

Have you tried doing "Reboot phone" after it boots back into recovery?
Let me start by saying I have already read homeiss guide for upgrading to 2.2 but when I get to where I have to type in the command line it says cannot load recovery.alt.img: what I'm asking is for full instructions from 2.1 to 2.2 no partial instructions because I've never had this much trouble flashing a rom!

Assuming your ADB and all that is set up...and you already downloaded the Release 1 of Froyo ROM.
Install clockworkMod recovery : Do this by downloading this:
http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?url=paul/streak/2.5.0.1-streak-clockworkrecovery.zip
and follow this instruction.
Download the recovery image zip file above and extract to a directory
Put your device in bootloader mode (Unplug the device from your PC, remove the device battery, then replace it and turn device on with the camera button pressed. Select the 'fastboot' text on the top right, wait around 10 seconds then plug the device into your PC. The screen display should change to 'FASTBOOT MODE'. If it doesn't, repeat and retry
WINDOWS - double click 'install-recovery-windows.bat'
(I've had instances where I had to literally run this batch file twice to ensure it was picked up by the device.
THEN, place the update-new.zip onto your sd card
Now boot streak into recovery by shutting down and holding vol up and down as you press power, select update from .pkg option and wait for Clockwork to load. Ignore errors regarding Misc...blah, blah...
-select flash zip from sd
-choose select zip from sd and find the update-new.zip and flash it
-Afterwards, press the power button to go back until you see the optiong to reboot. Enjoy your FROYO.
when i press the shutter button to install it gives me two errors: no signature annd verification failed or something like that i never see anything thats says install from zip

If youre at that part it should go like this...
1) Keep both volume buttons down and then power on. Sometimes its better to power on, once you see your back, home, and menu button light up, immediately press the 2 volume buttons and keep it pressed. If successful you should be faced with the Stock Recovery Screen. This will give you 4 options, and option 2 is install Update.pkg. Ensuring there is not file on root of SD Card that is labeled Update.pkg, select Option 2.
2) If you do this it will go black and a message saying.."Android....." and then you'll be faced with Koush's custom recovery. You'll know you're in custom recovery because you have to hold the Streak upside down. (3 buttons on top and earpiece at the bottom). If you see this then you're successful and should be straightforward from there. Follow the rest of the instructions provided in my previous post.
-------
-select flash zip from sd
-choose select zip from sd and find the update-new.zip and flash it
-Afterwards, press the power button to go back until you see the optiong to reboot.
this is frustrating. ... when I did it_it went to the stock recovery and when I press shutter button it doesn't go to the custom recovery and I know I flashed it

can you please add to your post how to get rid of blinking/flashing led lights (menu, home, back) because some of us have this kind of problem after flashing stock 407 olleh rom. thank you!
Reply
I had such a blinks while i did for the first time upgrading to custom ROM but it blinked for just 3 times twice thats all. If you follow my steps to upgrade the ROM i hope it wont blink and wont have any problem for any one. Because i spend lots of time and collected all the information needed to upgrade my streak. I did researched for whole one day to find the dell streak ADB driver and collected all the steps that is easy to help other fellow mates to have a recent upgrade to their Dell Streak.
And I formatted my dell streak with same steps for like more than 6 times already and never had any problem. And couple of time i did with the streakmod and didnt had problem as well. I think this is the easy and detailed information to upgrade to gingerbread 2.3.3 without any problem. I saw lots of problems and lack of information in others post. So, i decided to post a detail and easier steps so mates with dell streak can enjoy the gingerbread 2.3.3
All the best guys with upgrading

Hi is there any video tutorial as i am finding this a bit difficult.Anyone please do help me with installation of gingerbread.Thanks in advance
You can find some of the videos to upgrade in youtube search for it and go for it
accepted the love of many because it helps .... good job ...
im an amatuer wid android n after all the hesitations i had to upgrade . finally did it...
thanks to ur step by step procedure...i got stuck in ur step 5 6 and 7..
i found out a simplier version for those who dint understand that ..if it is of any help
Press Shift key and from right click menu on anywhere on the folder (on empty space without selecting any files or folders) open a DOS command window on that folder. Or Start menu > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
Now type 'cd C:\streak'. Type "dir" and you should see all the files and folders in C:\streak. Type 'fastboot' and you should see a list of command options.
type 'fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img' without the quotes and hit enter. You can see that your DS screen shows the response. (Make sure that the DS white screen says 'download done' or something like that.)
type 'fastboot -i 0x413c reboot' without the quotes and hit enter. This will reboot your phone. Now on rebooting, immediately enter to recovery mod (hold both volume buttons while powering on).
thanks for the fabulous tutorial..
so far gingerbread looks nice ... BUT after upgrading my speakers volume went way too low how can i fix this...with froyo were pretty loud and clear.. please help...
Ignore this post! a reboot fixed the issue
Best installation Step for Any Rooted Dell Streak regardless the region
YES!!!, YOU HEARD ME RIGHT, WITHOUT USING ANY RECOVERY, WORKS FOR ANY, AGAIN ANY ROOTED DELL STREAK 5 REGARDLESS YOUR REGION...
1. Download Multi Recovery flasher.
2. Download the Streak_407_20707_14.pkg, yeap! Recovery image not needed
3. ...now rename the PKG file to Update.pkg and copy to the root of your SD card.
4. ALSO, create a folder name LOST.DIR , all uppercase... in the root of your SD care, if there is one there already skip this step.
5. now restart your Dell streak and hold the volume up and down button to get to recovery menu. choose 2nd menu i.e “Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD card” and press the power button.
6. Now the decryption process. It gonna attempt to install the update and hence fail. Don't freak out. Now boot to phone normally and connect it to your PC. access your SD card and go to the LOST.DIR folder, you should see a white file with no extension with a randon digit name. example 553, file type - "file" (decrypted pkg file)
7. Now rename this white file to Update.zip, then copy it to the root of your SD card.
8. Now shutdown your Dell streak and boot to fastboot i.e power button and camera button, it should take you to the famous white page. flash Streakmod recovery using the Muitl-Recovery flasher you downloaded.
9. Phone should restart at this point, hold Volume up and down button to get to recovery menu...select Select upgrade via Update.pkg on SD card and press the power button again, this time you should get to black screen with dell logo and a caution sign.
10. Select update Zip from SD, select choose Zip from list...scroll to the "Update.Zip" and select that..installation should commence and with 10 minute you are running Olleh Gingerbread. Factory reset and select English at the first time android screen ( click language at lower right hand of the screen)
11. Leave many thanks if this works...let me know if you have any questions

Hey Radimus...
Did you know that you could decrypt .PKG files and convert them to .Zip file so they are flash-able through Streakmod recovery? I figured out the trick through my dell streak... it works.

Hi,
Thanks for the post.
Please help me as I got stuck and my display shows wait for usb fast boot detect..........
now what to do.....
If thats the case, then it means you need to install dell android adb driver on your pc so your pc can detect your dell streak through the multi-recovery flasher. Search on google for it...or check dell.com technical help for handheld devices...you should find it there as well.
How can u decrypt a pkg file to a zip file

My Nexus One is rooted (I forgot how I did it).
Last night suddenly my phone went off and could not reboot anymore. It stayed on "X" screen forever. I tried to hard reset (i.e. Pressing volume down and power button). Then I pressed "Recovery" and then it went restart and stayed on "X" screen forever again. What can U do?
Please help, I am a new root user. please teach me step by step to do so. thanks.
Turn it off. Hold the trackball while starting it up. If you have usb debugging on and working fastboot drivers, you can wipe your phone (fastboot -a in cmd) and flash an img file of like a stock ROM.

I had read some other members did some tricks to their phone by remove the SD card and reboot the phone. BTW, is the battery fully charged? Try to pull the battery and then put it back on.

I tried this already but still not work, I had brought my phone to some third party mobile repair centre, they said my N1 is CPU broken and will cost around US$96 to replace with a new CPU (HTC need around US$190 for mother board). I paid US$96 anyways. not sure if it worth.

If your bootloader is unlocked, just flash a new recovery from fastboot Otherwise unlick it anyway.

The bootloader of my N1 is unlocked, I am not familiar with fastboot thing. My friend helped mine root and he is out of my country now. Gotta follow cnalbant's steps and see.
Install ClockworkMod Recovery on Nexus One Manually
Step 1: Download ClockworkMod Recovery: recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.1-passion.img (there are more current, look at the xda)
Step 2: Set up ADB for Nexus One
Step 3: Put the downloaded recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.1-passion.img in C: drive
Step 4: Turn Nexus One off and connect it to PC via USB
Step 5: Hold the Power button + Trackball together to start Nexus One in fastboot mode
Step 6: Once in fastboot mode, open Terminal / Command Prompt and run following command:
fastboot devices
This command will check if your device is connected in fastboot mode or not.
Step 7: Now run following command (place the file recovery in the same folder where the fastboot):
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.1-passion.img
This will install Clockwork recovery on your Nexus One.
That’s it, enjoy!
You can either follow the above guide or this amon ra recovery guide
forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Nexus_One/Recovery_Images
Amon ra is another recovery just like clock workmod
B4 using adb download the drivers of adb and fastboot
www.mediafire.com/?bhxmn903d6cz9eg
When you connect ur phone use device manager to locate the connection on win 7 and select install drivers frm folder and install frm the extracted folder of adb driver

Hi, I recently (like 5 minutes ago) rooted my lg g2 ls980 from sprint and it was fine. it wasnt until i tried to flash a cyanogenmod nightly, the latest one for cm11 on my phone and now its stuck in a boot loop. Ive tried to boot it into recovery but it wont work when i press the buttons (home and vol. down). Im freaking out, and ill admit it im just an ameture and didnt really know what I was doing, but I just got this phone as a replacement for my stolen phone and my parents will kill me if we have to pay a fortune for sprint to fix it if they even can. im using the latest version of twrp I think for the ls980 but it wont let me boot into it. help please as soon as possible. thank you!! Hopefully people still watch this forum I know its a little dated
you flashed over wrong radio you needed this zv8 modem from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451426 , if you can access recovery vol down + power button than flash ls980 zv8 radio and it will boot, if not than just go back to stock, see steps below.

3. Extract the TOT file from the ZIP
When LG Flash Tool is installed, do not launch it.

8) When the firmware is downloaded, boot your LG G2 into Download Mode. To do this, press and hold the Volume Up key and then plug the USB cable.
9) Launch LG Flash Tool.
You might see a window with Korean language, just click on OK.
Check the Select Manual Mode on the top.
10) MAKE SURE UNDER, DEVICE MANAGER, YOUR PORT IS SET TO COM 41 FOR YOUR DEVICE.
11) Click the DLL box and choose the dll file from above for you phone model.
12) Click the S/W box and select the firmware file with .tot extension.(the 2.04 gb file from above)
13) Now click the Yellow arrow button on the top left of the main window.
The firmware installation will be triggered.
Ignore if you see any temporary error and just wait patiently till it is finished.
Do not close the Flash Tool window.
14) Press and hold power button until phone turns off, leaving usb cable connected to device AND computer ,immediately hold volume up button until phone boots it into Download Mode.
Your LG G2 will restart showing firmware installation progress in percent (%).
When all is done, reboot your phone and enjoy!
