I'm new so be easy on me I done some hacking on my PSP and was about take a stab at my Eris I have 1.5 on it. I have searched the forum and Google it and I didn't get the answer I needed. I need to know how to downgrade back to 1.5 from 2.1 root before I upgrade. step by step would be nice or point me in the right direction Thanks
Do able, I did it somewhat by
unpacking a 1.5 rom,
Taking taking boot.img and system.img and re flashing it.
This will give you atleast at a glance stock phone, course you will still have the engineering bootloader, and the new radio firmware.
Sorry no step by step, no indepth how to. Not feeling good, not wanting "OMG U BROKE MY KNOW" messages.
Ok so no one has put up a step by step full downgrade up yet Now I got to decide if I want to upgrade to 2.1 or wait I have 2 Eris one with the 2.1 leak on it and the other 1.5 I'm not liking the 2.1 leak after upgrading my phone had lots of FC and Buggy **** happen besides the root whats so different with the 2.1 leak and the 2.1 root Thanks
Sorry for the noob question, but Im a long term Blackberry user just switched to the N1...
Question about rooting. If I root the N1, understanding that once you root you can not "unroot", if I use a custom Rom but prefer to go back to the factory one, is that possible, or how do I do so ? also,
On custom Roms like Cyangen, can one still download updates from Google ? (ex. version 2.xxx with flash when it comes out) ?
thanks
You can unroot, you just can't relock your bootloader ATM.
Do a search in the development section and you'll find posts about how to flash everything back to stock. The only difference is you'll always have that little unlocked padlock at the bottom of your boot screen.
Typically you don't see updates from Google with a modded firmware, but you see updates from the ROM developer all the time.
Cool, thanks for the info...
So once rooted, if I do want to return to factory settings, I would just install the HTC N1 Rom as if I installed any other Rom, and everything would be back to factory ( except for bootloader ), enabling me to get OTA updates, etc...
I've heard with custom Rom's, people have had trouble with 3G or network/radio issues, and being in Canada, little nervous about that since the N1 was just released here.
Thanks
I don't know about all that in Canada, but you're best bet is to try the various ROM's (Cyanogenmod preferred), and then test different radios with those ROM's. It'll give you a better opportunity to find a radio that works for you in your area, considering there hasn't been an official radio update released through Google's channels.
I'm pretty new to all this too but to get OTA updates again, from google, I think you need the stock recovery too (ie: not Amon_Ra recovery).
i do miss the iphone for that reason press restore in itunes and its back to as it was out of the box ,this baby is a lot more tricky
I don't mean to turn this into an iPhone comparison thread so please don't take my comment as such, but NOT being forced to used iTunes to handle everything is much preferred for me, even if things aren't as straightforward. That said, as someone who obviously doesn't use iTunes, doing anything with the Nexus One wasn't as difficult because I didn't need to install any alternative media software just to get the phone working.
Finally about to take the plunge and root...Question is where do I find the factory N1 Rom ( stock Rom ) if I decide to switch back ( maybe when flash is released ).
Also, read that you can back up your existing Rom during the root process...Is the back-up a secondary app to install or included in the .zip packages that are needed to root ? how is the back-up done ?
thanks

You seem to only want flash - you do know, that features presented in OTA releases usually make their way into custom ROMS before or a few hours (at least a day) after the OTA. Himem (the ability to use all the RAM) is already out in mostly all ROMS, way before Google is releasing it - along with trackball colors.
Really, you don't need to worry..

Well flash was just an example...my only concern is that I could be one of the
unlucky ones that experience problems after I root and install a Rom, so just the thought of having a stock Rom on hand is piece of mind.
Also, being in Canada on Rogers, just curious how my 3G ( radio ) will react to it.
I'm on Rogers too and still waiting to see if my phone is problem free before rooting. Let me know how it turns out when you take the plunge
I'm on Fido (essentially the same band/frequency as Rogers), Cyanogenmod 5.0.5.3 (latest version at this time), and I'm having no problems with the 3G connection whatsoever. No dropped calls, no switching to EDGE randomly or anything. Never flashed a different radio or anything.
I did have to manualy enter my APN info in order to get my data connection working, however (no biggie, just type in some info). I had to do that even straight out of the box, so it's not a custom ROM issue.
Hello everyone!
I've had my mytouch 3g since preorders were available and I rooted my phone the day the first root was released. Since that day, I have been though many of moded roms and other system modifications that I would like to "reset" my phone the way I first bought it. Is this possible? To completely clear the memory, unroot it, revert the radio, and get the stock tmobile rom?
Thanks in advance!

I just had a quick question, I done a search and couldn't find the answer.
With the official 2.2 update coming soon, I was wanting to go back to a the stock rom once the 2.2 update hits, due to the fact that I need to warranty out the phone (really bad static connection problems).
My question is since I am currently running Nero v4.1 touchwiz, would I be able to simply update to the official 2.2 once the 2.2 update drops, without any problems? I'm still a little new to the flashing roms and such. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Please help,
Thanks.

Don't upgrade OTA. Root it, then push some custom rom, like cyanogenmod, together with custom kernel, and voila, you have a perfectly good smartphone
In other words if you update via updater you will get lock because oryginal froyo updates with new boatloader which will lock ur phone and u will be unable to load customs roms which in my opinion are better cuz they are faster and u can change the whole look of ur android

If you are happy with the stock ROM, and have no intentions to root, install Custom ROM's or Root only apps, go ahead and update to 2.2 OTA.
However, for best performance after update, remember to factory reset and format the SD card too.
If you intend to root (now, or in the future), stay away from the OTA.
