Go Back to Damageless?

I installed the new 2.1 Sprint leak using the RUU .exe file, but my apps are not showing up in the Market. Is there a way to go back to Damageless 2.1?

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...

What do you mean try flashing it? I went back into my SD card to try to get Damageless 2.1 again, but it says the update.exe is not verified..

Download the .zip from his thread, then boot to recovery and flash it, wiping first.

Yeah, I tried that, but when I go to flash the ROM, it says the update is not verified, installation aborted..

I am not saying he has not fixed anything in the past, but this RUU is 100% fully functional, there is noting wrong with it!

Can you adb shell and do anything?
Does SU work?
just wondering... I haven't tried running the ruu on my phone personally.

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)

Leaked beta Froyo 2.2 update download, instructions, and HelixLauncher user Warnings

There is a thread with this info in it, but it is buried deep in over a hundred pages and I thought the warning for HelixLauncher bared having a new post.
Here is the link to download the update.
http://android.clients.google.com/packages/passion/signed-passion-FRF50-from-ERE27.1e519a24.zip
Looks like that link is dead... here is a mirror
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/113487/signed-passion-FRF50-from-ERE27.1e519a24.zip
And one more just in case the others go down.
http://www.filefactory.com/file/b1chb29/n/update-nexusone-FRF50-signed.zip
Warning!! If you use Helixlauncher, uninstall or remove its defaults. It will go into a Force Close loop, making the phone unusable without booting into recovery again and performing a factory wipe/reset.
How to flash the update, I used these steps and it worked fine, but remember, there is always the possibility to brick the phone.
1. Download file from link up there.
2. Rename the file to update.zip.
3. Note that if you're using Windows and don't have "show file extentsions" turned on in the file explorer you won't see a .zip. Just rename it to "update" (no quotes, of course) because it's already a zipped file.
4. Copy the update.zip file onto your microSD card.
5. With your Nexus One off, hold down the trackball and press the power button.
6. You'll be booted into a white screen with three Android robots on skateboards. Select "Bootloader."
7. On the next screen, select "Recovery."
8. Your phone will reboot, giving you a picture of the Android robot and an exclamation point inside a triangle.
9. Now press the power button and volume up button at the same time. It could take a couple of tries.
10. Now (using the trackball this time) choose "Apply sdcard:update.zip" and let things run their course.
Taken from the update-1 instructions on:
http://www.androidcentral.com/how-ma...your-nexus-one
Also, I don't think my phone rebooted own its own after the update. After a minute or two, I tried hitting power and power+vol up to get the menu and reset manually. During that time it reset and booted up fine. So I say give it a few minutes before trying to reboot after the update finishes.
Edit: a ton of threads have popped into existence about froyo, but I didn't see any with early warnings about Helixlauncher.... ah well, maybe this post can be helpful for someone out there.
Edit 2: From what I am seeing, AT&T phones are on a different build of Android than the T-mobile N1. Seems like if you have an AT&T version you are out of luck for right now. This update was meant for the demo devices given to the Press outlets around launch, before the AT&T phone existed.

thanks for this, just a quick question.
Is this ok to use on a nexus one in england? it's not usa only or something is it?
thanks

Can it be flashed over Cyanogen? I read somewhere that it couldn't...

If it is a US update then using it on a nexus one in England might not be a good idea, but I doubt it would hurt the phone, but some things might not work right.

Yeah I'm thinking the new update broke it, helixlauncher is integrated much deeper into th OS than most apps, so it would be more vulnerable to even small changes

I read somewhere, that another person had the same issue. Are you using stock recovery? Also, are you on the latest 2.1 update 1? I'm not sure the issue really. Try a search of the other threads, see if there is a solution.

same here... tried it twice with installation aborted each time. Redownloaded the file... renamed and copied to the sd card again.... same results.

Can someone post a link to HelixLauncher? Can't find it in the Market.
Thanks!

about the HELIXLAUNCHER:
there is NO NEED FOR WIPING everything! i had the same problem after updating and these force kills were really anoying.
here's what you have to do
1. remove your sim card (necessary because other wise your phone will reboot in safe mode - don't ask me why, but it did)
2. get into safe mode: (menu button long press while the X flashes on the load, give it a few tries, it vibrate long if it works)
3. delete helix
4. reboot
5. pray and thank me ;-)
worked for me!

My phone can not use the Rom Manage

Hello. Please help me. my phone can not use the rom manage. I have used one once, but can not be used again. when I turn on the program, still connected 3g/wifi but nothing more happened at all. I have copied the program into the correct directory. My phone rooted.This phenomenon occurs after I Flast 2.1

What doesnt work? Does it not install? Why are you copying the app at all? Why not install from Market?

I installed the application from Market but I can not use the rom manage.
I don't know!

Rom Manager*
You have to be rooted to use it.

You can't expect people to help you if you don't tell them the problem.
So its installed, did you flash the clockworkmod? Should be the top most option.

Also, did you download it from the market, or did you steal the pro version from online? I am asking because you said "I copied it to the right directory"

Maybe I understand his/her problem. Rooted, installed RM but cannot install Clockwork?
Few options here, search for the standalone update.zip with Clockwork and do it that way OR wait a few hours and try again.
The 1st choice I had to do once because RM wasn't liking my phone and the 2nd choice sometimes the server is down.

First, my phone t959 rom UVJI6 normal. Then my rom to version 2.2 T959UVJFD. I do not feel satisfied so I returned to the Odin 2.1.
My phone has a normal root and fix lag.
but then, I could not manage to use the rom again.
Sorry for my english level is limited. I'm from Vietnam

Yes. this is my problem. How do I do now?

If youre trying to flash another rom you need to disable the lagfix first.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

My assumption is you have OCLF, try removing it then giving it a go.
Google a clockwork update zip that is pushable with ODIN, I found one the other day. I MAY have it still but I am not sure and I honestly have no clue where I found it, wasn't xda I am about 90% sure. It is not really a solid fix but will get you to where you have CWM. Rom Manager will not recognize you have it installed but when you go to enter recovery mode it will enter into CWM.
Did you by chance also flash a custom kernal? When I tested out a few I noticed my phone did the same thing, my knowledge currently doesn't expand far enough to know if they can even be related though. I am still learning a lot myself.

Recovery problem...

when i go into recovery to flash or anything it just stands there and does nothing? i can flash through clockwork recovery app but not CWM... any ideas????

Are you using the trackball to make your selections? How far do you get in the process? Is it enabling you to move the selector at all?

are you rooted with s-off? That sounds like your problem.

ya... sorry i was unclear on my issue... yes i am rooted and s-off... is that the problem with not being able to use it? but i can get to clockwork select anything on the menu, press power and it comes up with the yellow CM gear and tophat.. lol nice graphic but sucks when you want to do a nandroid backup.... i guess i will have to search for a solution for it? unless you already know how? hehe

ICS Manual Update

I have a Nexus S i9023 with stock 2.3.6, unroot and everything, basically i didn't do a thing. Now, I want to update to 4.0.3, but since the ota doesn't show up i want to do it manually: i've searched the post but i can't find an how-to

oh come on, a few minutes of searching would have enlightened you.
if you downloaded the update: rename file to update.zip, put in root of your device, boot into recovery mode and install through it.

Danke, i tried to search "FLASH ZIP" but there were sooooo many topics unrelated (like flashing custom roms ecc)

Why after flashing clockwork (and made a nandroid backup) when i access recovery screen stays black?!?

because OTA has a script that reinstalls stock recovery every boot.
The black screen is because the ics recovery for 9023 does not turn backlight on, a bright light should show it up.
To stop the recovery reinstall you need to rename /ect/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/install-recovery.sh

rename in something like file.old.p or something specific?

You need root and a root file explorer, just rename those files then flash custom recovery and it will stick
