My Nexus One will not update to Ginger bread , Why ?

OK I have stock Nexus one with FRG83D, I downloaded Gingerbread from here at XDA, I tried to install it but it failed, I found a link on how some people were having issues and it took me to a link where I had to back track to FRG33 then FRG83 the to FRG83D where I am at now, did all that everything worked great but now I still get the same error when trying to install Gingerbread, any suggestions ?
thank you

You need to be on FRG83G. Apply this update then try GB again.

That did the trick installing as I type this, thank you very much.

Do you have the last version of HBOOT (hboot-0.35.0017)?
If not, download it from:
http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/passion/d6096cac5e9f.signed-hboot-0.35.0017.zip
install it as a rom (remember to rename it to "update.zip") and then install 2.3.3.
Enjoy!

Glad to help

FYI, this was a question. It should have been posted in the Q & A section. I can't believe how many people don't read rules.

it is because less people go to Q & A.

Thanks to djR3Zfor the Evo one click guide

Thanks for the guide, it was very helpful. I had been missing the all important step of update the hboot driver and the app was not giving me a good error message (just said it failed to install recovery image). I appreciate the step by step guide. I really much prefer manual rooting over the "click on some program which may do something I don't like" style! But it seemed to be the way to go for the Evo.
Thanks again...maybe some day I'll get above the 10 posts needed to actually post in a dev thread.

Really, I've prior to this rooted mine and hubby's Heros, installed multiple custom ROMS, have the android SDK installed, have compiled and installed programs. I just don't get on the forums much, apparently...other than to read thru them occasionally.

I've even tried to answer people's problems, but that 10 post thing has kept me from doing so.

So, I'm going to make sure that doesn't happen again!!!

sigh, it still won't let me post on the dev forum.

You're doing it wrong.
Also, that's why XDA has a "Thanks" button to prevent people from having to open threads / posting saying thanks.

[PATCH] Fix Arabic [RTL] on GB 4.5.91

Hello there
I have managed to get fix Arabic on GB 4.5.91, through patching and compiling framework.jar and libwebcore.so.
This will work on every rom that is based on AT&T 4.5.91.
Here is how to patch your phone:
Manually
1) Be sure that your phone is Rooted and Deodexed.
2)Download GBArabic.zip attached and extract it on your phone.
3)Now using Root Explorer or any other root file mangers.
Copy framework.jar to /system/framework/ and fix the permissions
Copy libwebcore.so, libicuuc-arabic.so and libandroid_runtime.so to /system/lib/, and fix the permissions
Be sure that you set permission for all, or you will stuck in bootloop.
4) Reboot and enjoy.​
or
CWM Flashable File
1) Be sure that your phone is Rooted and Deodexed.
2)Download CWM-Arabic.zip attached and place it on your phone.
3)Boot into the recovery, and flash the file.
4) Reboot and Enjoy ​
p.s.
I am quite new here in the forum. So I couldn't post this on the Dev Forum.

Arabic Files for CherryBlur v1.4d Rom ( it's based on ORFR and not working with At&t)
http://www.mediafire.com/?zd93z9leslz6wtc ... tested by me

Thanks Jack,
Does the Browser and Gmail show Arabic correctly in ORFR?
If it worked, I will update my post.
If not, could try and use my libwebcore.so on your phone, and report back to me?

no it's doesn't support the browser
and sorry I changed the rom and can't test the new files

Successfully Installed - CWM Version
Just flashed the CWM file. Working on Alien ROM.
Works perfectly (RTL needs some alignment "observed in Facebook App only"). Donation is on the way! Extra ordinary work and Cheers!

Glad to hear that, it worked with you.
As for the Facebook App, I can't really help as I do not use the app .
Anyway,
Thank you, and I hope you enjoy it.

copied the files manually while half asleep, seems that I've messed up ... was stuck in the boot screen, downloaded the automated installation file, applied it and now it works perfectly !
RTL is still not right in gmail messages, but that's super low priority

What you did wrong the first time, is that you haven't set up the permission, but hey you were half sleep I won't blame you .
I just noticed the alignment of Gmail, and droidace says it happen on Facebook.
It seems that these two apps, use different files to show alignment than the browser.
I will take a look at it.
Thanks for reporting, and hope you enjoy it.

How to donate? - not really much though

Thank you for the extreme generosity, I really appreciate it.
As for now, I really don't need any donations, I'm sure some people may need them.
Thanks very much, though

How did you update to 4.5.91 ? official update, SBF, OTA, other ? I am still not sure what's the safest way to go to .91 with everyone warning about bricks on this forum
how did you root/deodex ?
Sorry for my dump questions if they sounded so, But i am new into this coming from the iOS land and overwhelmed with all the terms
Thanks mdd5

Hello Ramy, and welcome.
Since you are new here, I will encourage to take a look at THE BEGINNERS (N00B) GUIDE!!!

Now to answer your questions,
ramy_Maia said:

I did update to 4.5.91, by unlocking the bootloader and flashing one of the roms here on dev section, not official.
I am still not sure what's the safest way to go to .91 with everyone warning about bricks on this forum
Everything is safe as long as you follow the guide.
many of the bricks happen here is because people updated to .91 using official then tried sbf to an older version.
When you update using official, you can't flash an older version.
how did you root/deodex ?
As of now, the only way to have root and deodex on .91 is by flashing unofficial ROMs
So you will need to unlock the bootloader and flash one.
Sorry for my dump questions if they sounded so, But i am new into this coming from the iOS land and overwhelmed with all the terms
Your question are not dumb, I was just like a couple of weeks ago.
However, it is better to ask questions like this in Atrix 4G Q&A forum, so you get better answers and faster than here. You can also use search

Alright Good Luck,
Did the new update of facebook fixed that issue?? It seems that it is fixed now.

mdd5,
I picked up your comment on my blog and I wanted to let you know that I added your Atrix GB libwebcore.so to my blog with a special note to you. If you would mind that for any reason, please let me know and I'll remove the link and recompile the sources myself.
Great work. I'm glad to see people using my blog and the sources to get Android arabized

Options of Arabic Fonts
Not really sure if there is an option to change the Arabic fonts? Any ideas?
Awesome work anyway with or without fonts

Thank you for your effort
In Alien Rom, Does it work for Write & Read or full (with menus)?
same question in Cherry Rom.

So guide me here, all that I need is to find the desired font and then (Rename it to "DroidSansArabic" and replace it with the one in /system/fonts?

Need help going back to complete stock ROM

I apologize for this thread as Im sure this has been answered before, just can't find it. A while ago I had backed up my stock rom so I could try custom ROM's. Unfortunately just before flashing one I accidentally did a format on my microSD card with the backup of the stock ROM that came on my a500 so it got blown away . I have downloaded stock roms in the Development threads but there is a large list of different ones. I basically want to get the original ROM that came with my tablet so I can use OTA again. The stock ROMS I have tried keep saying "Poor network coverage ...." when I try to check for an OTA update. Also I live in the USA is there a region specific ROM that I need to get to ensure GPS works properly? Seems that none of the ROMS I have tried can get a lock on my location even if the prop file shows "US" Any help is greatly appreciated.

I have the Rom
that will work for you but no placeto upload it.there is a download link to it as well in Acer recovery installer.

Son of a .... lol. Thank you. Im gonna purchase a license for Acer Recovery Installer I'll try that first. Thank you
UPDATE: I got a stock rom and appears fully restored thank you. Quick question though. There are about 4 or 5 different stock rom builds. Does it matter which one to use? Or should I get the highest version numbered one?

I'd also like to know, which rom did you get? Link and your steps please. It'd really help me out.

I have nothing to add. But this thread got funny.

that that issue im also want to ask!
i allready download the stock rom at the link stok rom above, but my thor kernel is still eksist or if i press the power button and the volume the system reboot into a thor kernel. how can i get the kernel just like an original rom?
thank's

Your kernel should be stock. But what you're describing sounds like the recovery which is Thor's Clockwork. That should be the one you want if you want to keep flashing different ROM's and/or Kernels.
The way I got my tab back to completely stock is in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231005

Galaxy S6 AOSP style ROM

AOSP ROM for Galaxy S6
YOUR WARRANTY IS NOW VOID, I AM NOT RESPONSABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO YOUR DEVICE
This is an AOSP Rom for the following models of the Galaxy S6: G92xF/FD/I/T/W8/K/L/S . It's running stock google applications, and it is completely debloated. I am having some trouble porting the System UI and the Setup Wizard, so in the stable version the System UI is Goodlock and it's using the stock Samsung setup wizard. The unstable version is running on stock android Marshmallow System UI and is using the stock android set up wizard. This version is unstable so it may crash several times.
You will need a rooted device with a custom recovery installed to flash it.
To install:
- Copy the ROM zip to your internal of your Phone
- Reboot to recovery mode (TWRP)
- Do an Data/Factory reset first in your recovery
- Start the installation of the ROM.
MAKE SURE TO HAVE A BACKUP IN CASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG
Download completely stock (unstable) version of the rom in post 2.
Download semi stock (stable) version of the rom in post 3.
