AT&T Nexus One, FROYO!

For those who didn't dare to try... I got Froyo running on an AT&T version. All you need is to follow this guide: http://www.androidspin.com/2010/05/...-nexus-one-its-like-it-never-happened-almost/
Flash the ERD79 Release, update to EFE27. Then run the Froyo update through Stock recovery. 3G works fine, radio updated (I think?) and everything is fast.

thanks for your post. but the issue that most ATT N1 users are facing is updating to 2.2/Froyo from their non-rooted, bootloader-locked. devices.

I think that rooting and unlocking the bootloader it's the way to go now, since like everybody has done it.

I'm one that hasn't rooted, yet. Party due to my phone is less than two weeks old and I don't want to void the warranty just yet.

I just went from KangoRama to full wipe to Froyo...

Having owned several HTC phones, there's no way I'm voiding my warranty

Lot of trouble for nothing, if you are already rooted and have Amon's recovery. Just install Paul's Rooted Froyo and you've got the same thing, except with root.

rooting doesnt void hardware warranty
Experienced it

Froyo using AmonRa recovery - WORKS!
Followed some success off CM's forums in getting Froyo up and running on an AT&T N1. In fact it's been pretty error free (short of a couple apps not behaving with 2.2) and to top it off, no wipe needed.
Paul over on Modaco's site managed to pop up an image that is rooted and works with AmonRa's recovery. All I did was copy the zip to the SD card, ran recovery, flashed from SD, and voila! Froyo without having to painstakingly reinstall all my apps. No issues with 3G so far, but like all stock roms, there's no indication of running HSDPA unless you go into the about phone option in settings.
So far cooling off the hot day with some Froyo here.

Edit: And yes, if you didn't boot unlock your phone and want 2.2, then your only choice is waiting for the OTA to eventually hit you... when it goes public instead of press-only.

update
I followed the guide and went from erd79 to ere27 but when trying to update to froyo my N1 would not boot completely. Ran adb logcat and watched the log and it looped running the same stuff over and over again.

[Q] MyTouch3G (32b) Universal Androot/OTA Question

So I know that you can use the universal androot app to root the MT3G 32b. I did it and installed CM6. I didn't like it, so I flashed the original 1.5 image, successfully unrooting. I then received my ota 1.6 update and I'm back to normal.
However, I really miss two things from when I was rooted: the wifi tether app and being able to bring my clock up to 528 mHz (where it belongs). I am considering using androot to enable these two functions (and not flash a ROM, but stick with stock).
My question is this: when/if tmobile ever pushes that promised 2.2 update, will I be able to get it, or will I need to flash sappimg.npg again to totally unroot? I remember that when I had androot on there before, even when I clicked unroot, the superuser permissions icon stayed in the app drawer. I just want to do these two things on stock 1.6 and still be able to receive any potential future firmware OTAs by clicking "unroot" when the OTA is pushed out. Like I said, I'm not interested in flashing a ROM, just rocking stock 1.6 with an overclocked processor and wifi tethering enabled.
Anyone know if that will work okay?
Thanks!

That should work, you just might have to re-run and root after the update. Word on the streets is that the 2.2 update will never come thoughts I wouldn't hold my breath.

This is the Canadian version but Rogers is rolling out 2.1 this week

Well that kinda sucks, considering Tmo spent the time and $ to send out a communication to all us MT3G users saying we weren't going to be left behind.
So I guess I can root (with androot) and then when (if) word of a 2.1 or 2.2 update starts spreading I can click to unroot and receive it?
Thanks again.

Should still be able to use the "update" option from the settings menu. It should still work unless you flash a custom ROM that wont allow you to.

You're in the same boat I am. I tried CM5 and CM6 but both were too slow and unstable for me, so I unrooted and used Universal Androot so I could overclock. I'm actually pretty satisfied with this, but still thinking about trying a couple of other ROMs.

Did this stock 2.1 version ever become available for flashing? I'd really prefer to flash this on my friend's 32B than any of the custom ROMs. It's very unnecessary for her and she's just looking for stability.
[Also, is this even possible? I think I read somewhere that Rogers is 32A only]

I'm pretty sure the Rogers update is over in the development section for download. You can read there whether its 32A or 32B.

[q] new aria user and confused

I just exchanged a defective captivate for the ariaand looking at some of the threads confused. Do I root now or wait for froyo??? when I have froyo will rooting give me acces to the portable wifi hot spot feature???

If you're planning on rooting at some point, then you might as well get on with it. You can have Froyo now with either CyanogenMod 6.1 or Liberated FR008. Both have the wireless hotspot feature included.
If you wait for the AT&T Froyo update, you will probably be waiting awhile, and at least for now, you are not able to gain root once you've applied the official update.

If and when HTC/AT&T release Froyo for the Aria, chances are the wifi hot spot will be disabled.
My advice would be to root now and then install either CyanogenMod 6.1 with is AOSP Froyo 2.2 or Libertated FR008 ROM (HTC Sense w/ Froyo 2.2) from the European Gratia. Both of these custom ROM have the Froyo Wifi hot spot enabled and working.

Ihave a few questions...how do i find htc sync and install it?? after getting modified froyo on does that stop att upgrade? and all modified upgrades roms manual intal?

You can download HTC Sync from here:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/aria-att/downloads/
Nobody really knows if the Liberated ROM will get a notification about the AT&T upgrade because it has not happened yet.
Yes all of the custom ROMS are manual install.

keep in mind that when ATT releases the FroYo update it will probably be unable to ROOT at first. they love to add new securities to make life interesting for us hackers
if you do get an Aria check out my Aria Superthread Guide for info about how to mod your new phone

I do own an aria

thanks for the files!! doing root now

how do i know unrevoked is working or not?

It should tell you when it is finished.
One word of advice, unrevoked didn't work for me under windows. I think the Ubuntu LiveCD method is pretty trustworthy though.

I've used UnrEVOked to root 3 different Arias with no problems... so if you don't want to go with the Ubuntu method, go ahead and try Unrevoked.

if unrevoked were working, would I see a series of messages?? I just started it , should the mesage pushing recovery stay on for sometime? how long should it take? Im running win 7 pro 64 bit

It took me about five minutes using the ubuntu method. If it pauses at waiting to reboot, it's safe to take it out, and start it over again I believe.

[Q] HTC G2, Downgrade --> Root --> Upgrade to Stock

Am I able to downgrade, root, and then upgrade back to exactly what I'm using right now? Aka, same Rom, same Version/Build, still receive automatic android/system updates, etc, and etc, (but with root)?
M: T-Mobile G2
V: 2.3.4
BV: 12.52.60.25U_26.08.04.30_M3
KV: 2.6.35.10-g96de068
B#: 2.15.531.3 CL82286 release-keys
It's been agonizing waiting for an easy and effective root since the 2.3.4 update and I'm now considering following one of the numerous methods that can be found around the forums, specifically, the downgrade/root/upgrade method.
My concern is that the majority of the methods described all end with using a custom rom such as Virtuous, Cyanogenmod, etc--- but I don't want a custom rom. I want exactly what Rom the T-Mobile G2 is supposed to have, but with Root. I also want my system to update as it normally would.
Am I able to downgrade, root, and then upgrade back to exactly what I'm using right now? Aka, still receive android updates, etc, etc?
Side Note:
I did try the "G2 2.3.4 OTA 1-Click temp-root" method however I couldn't seem to get it to work. The thread can be found at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1220595
Any thoughts on upgrading back to the stock rom (plus root) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I would argue your G2 is "supposed to have" Cyanogen, but to each their own.
You will need to follow this guide to downgrade if you want to root. And yes, you can flash a pre-rooted pure stock 2.3 ROM. Just search the Development forum and you'll find it. Your phone, however, should not notify you about updates after this - and you don't want it to. If you were to flash an OTA update you would lose root.
The wiki is also very helpful if you still have questions.
If you really want to see what your phone can do try out some custom ROMs after you root. Thousands of HTC Vision users can't be wrong.

Glite is a good alternative too, with the stock theme and launcher, it looks and acts exactly like stock, plus it's lighter and faster

Follow the wiki for root. You'll abandon what you have now, but you can flash a pre-rooted stock ROM after you're rooted. Chances are you'll wanna dabble in non stock ROMs eventually lol. I remember when I first rooted I though I'd never flash a custom ROM lol... ROMs like cm7 are similar to stock but perform better, have more features, and better battery life.

Yeah, I've known about roms for a long while now but I just never wanted to give up the stock rom because I never wanted to be put in a situation where my markets and/or apps would give me problems, although I do realize how silly the concern is.
I guess I should just bite the bullet and try CM7 out. Worst case scenario I can always go back to boring old stock. And who knows, I might be converted after all.

Yes, exactly, you can always flash right back if it doesn't suit you. And I, too, was hesitant to flash a custom ROM the first week or so after rooting. But once I did my only regret was that I waited at all.

Alright so I downgraded to v2.2 and established root, etc etc.
I toyed with a couple roms, namely CM7 and I'm incredibly bummed because after researching a bit more on it, I realize that it has issues running google apps such as swype, navigate, market, etc. I use google apps daily for both pleasure and work. It's sort of essential that I have a solid google-app working rom.
I'm debating on upgrading to a rooted gingerbread 2.3.4 however I wanted some advice from the vets who have more experience than I so I can save myself some hard-ache.
I'm looking at G-Lite presently, and think I might give it a try, I hope it has solid use of google apps.

I've been running cyanogen since the G1. I recently tried out the stock gingerbread, and it was OK, but I missed a lot of features that are built into the CM rom, such as the status bar power widget.
One thing I noticed about the stock gingerbread is that is was velvety smooth, which isn't surprising since it is built with the actual hardware drivers. If you are used to the froyo stock rom, then you probably won't miss the extra features.
There are a few rooted stock gingerbread roms in the dev section- Paul O'brien, spookievision, and rr5678 all released stock(-ish) versions.
If you want it more stock than that, you'll have to root it yourself. I'm not sure if rooted stock roms will be able to apply the update successfully. You will probably receive it, but it might break root. Maybe it will work if you keep the stock recovery.

People tell me that the versatility and diversity of whistles in CM is inviting but the stability issues make me concerned. For me, reliability will always trump bells&whistles.

I'm using G-Lite 1.0.3 right now and I must say I'm enjoying the simplicity of it and the fact that it is a bare-bone system. I like how it was obviously built with Froyo/Gingerbread in mind. It produced Swype problems but I easily fixed it by using the Swype-Installer.apk found on the Swype Website
[ beta(dot)swype(dot)com ]

That's really the beauty of a rooted android device - you can have exactly what you want on *your* device.

downgrade with stock s-off
Hi all,
I just bought this G2 unlocked with OTA GB (somehow i regret to click upgrade system after reading G2 forum =D).
My G2 :
VISION PVT SHIP S-OFFHBOOT 0.82.0008
MICROP-0425
RADIO 26.08.04.30_M3
eMMC-boot
I really want to root and use HTC sense UI 3.0 my G2. Every thread about downgrading to froyo was for S-ON GB not S-OFF like I have (i assume). It's S-OFF since the first time i bought it.
Could you all help me to choose what method should i use to downgrading my g2, root it, and use custom rom with HTC sense UI.
Thanks a lot guys,,
You're the best

Friends EVO stuck on 2.1 Update 1 lol

Phone is stock as a whistle. She always denied the OTA cause she was afraid of getting charges from the warning it stated even tho shes on an unlimited plan. Any who, I updated the phone twice but its still 2.1. My question is, can I keep it stock and flash an update or do I have to root? I am familiar with the rooting process and im sure its easy since its an old version. And if I have to root I mine as well flash a ROM.... any suggestions on ROMs or flashing stock OTAs
would be looking for a GB Rom unless there is something very good and stable for ICS

Team D.I.R.T. cm9 is the most stable ics rom out in my opinion. So if ur gonna go thru the trouble of rooting it, y not throw some ice cream sandwich on there.

What version does it show? I think there were a couple of updates before 2.2, as I understand it you'd have to do each one in order.
ETA: Yeah, if you look here there is a list of the OTA's that came out for this phone, looks there were two on 2.1 before the update to 2.2. Looks like about 9 to go...

Actually, it's 7 updates (8 if the latest one has been pushed) because some of them will be skipped. OTA is the long way, and 3.26 doesn't appear to push to the phone anymore anyway, so you will be stuck on Android 2.1. The easiest way if you are just looking to update the phone is to run one of the latest Rom Utility Updates like this file.
http://goo.im/stock/supersonic/ruu/...15.00.12.19_NV_2.33_release_234563_signed.zip
Do not unzip it. Just rename it PC36IMG.zip (not PC36IMG.zip.zip, easy to do). Place the file on the SD card. Power off the phone, then hold the volume down + power buttons. If there are not any SD card issues, it should go through a process, then ask you do you want to update, which you should say yes.
And yes, you could also root the phone and then flash a custom ROM if you choose not to take the update. Since it's still on 2.1, unrevoked at www.unrevoked.com would be the easiest root method. There are at least 2 others, but they are a mess.

Thanks for the directions above man it worked like a charm... except the contact sync lol but she has Instagram! lol she wanted to stay stock
