OTA update in update.zip format with root options

The update in conventional zip format, with root options is here!
P

Works mint! I was running Modoco 1.3 ROM, heres the steps I performed:
recovery install: update-nexusone-ERE27-signed.zip
recovery install: update-nexusone-radio-32.24.00.22U_4.03.00.21_2-signed.zip
./fastboot-linux boot boot.ERE27.superboot.img
./fastboot-linux flash zimage zImage-2.6.29.6
./adb remount
./adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko

Can I flash this manually WITHOUT being rooted?

I posted a thread on updating without root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=627533

Modaco's page confused me a little.
Does the "Main update" include the radio update, or did he split that off and they're completely separate?
Can the main update be installed using a rooted, but stock, rom and recovery?
In other words, if I just want exactly what the OTA would give me, on my rooted (by superboot) but stock N1, what do I need to do?
Thanks!

I'm completely stock rom / not rooted and I just did this:

1. Get the update from Google: http://android.clients.google.com/updates/passion/signed-passion-ERE27-from-ERD79.a487b405.zip
2. Put the update on your SD card & rename it to update.zip
3. Boot in recovery mode (hold down trackball + power)
4. Go to bootloader -> recovery
5. Now there's a picture of a droid with a triangle
6. Press the power button + volume up
7. Apply sdcard:update.zip
8. Updating
9. Reboot system now
10. Enjoy the multitouch

Worked great.

Thanks Paul. That's what I first tried, and it failed. I posted the details here, but haven't heard anything back yet.

I'm in the same exact boat as you. I rooted my phone last week because i was eager to get multitouch working, so i followed this tutorial:
theunlockr[dot]com/2010/01/21/how-to-enable-multitouch-browsing-on-your-nexus-one-using-the-native-browser/
So now when i try to apply the OTA update manually in recovery mode i get:
Code:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...

E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Does anyone know what i can do to get this OTA up and running? Im rooted but i havent flashed any custom roms or recoveries either.
This is my first android phone so i'm a bit of a noob and new to the scene. Any help would be greatly appreciated

check that guide out, it was simple and easy to follow...

Thanks JHaste.
But those are pretty much the exact instructions I followed that gave me the error.
My phone is rooted, but running the stock rom.
No custom rom, no patched browser.
The only changes I've made since rooting it are to copy some Thai fonts into the fonts directory.
The exact specifics of my error are posted in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5528501&postcount=118
Very similar to what PhantomRampage listed, but a slightly different cause, I think... (his is an error on Browser.apk)

Thanks for trying but as i said before, i tried that and it fails because i have an unlocked bootloader.
Sorry if my first post was confusing, ill try again.
I unlocked my bootloader and rooted my N1 the other day, i also modified and added some files to get pinch-to-zoom working on the native browser. To do that i followed some tutorial on theunlockr, i cant post direct links so google it and you'll find it easily.
So, now i want to apply the new OTA update but it fails, either because i have root access or because i tampered with the browser files im guessing.
Knowing all that, what can i do to install the new update?
Also, will i have to download patched updates from now on since i rooted my phone? I'm really hoping i dont have to; i'd prefer to install the ota updates as they come out officially.

might have found a solution
check out:
forum (dot) androidcentral (dot) com / google-nexus-one/6469-will-my-n1-receive-ota-ere27-update-cyanogen-mod (dot) html
seems to be just what i was looking for but i think i want to re-flash the stock firmware instead, i want to stay as stock as possible so i can install future OTA updates without having to go through all this trouble. Can anyone help me with that please?
Anyways, i hope my link will help some people. Sorry for the double post

*Guys plz tell me is there any solution to install the CyanogenMod Gingerbread 2.3.2 RC0
*If i need to install any other rom do I need to flash RA-Tattoo-v1.6.2 again.

I don't understand you people.
You make a new thread to describe an error which is already discussed and solved on the thread from which you download the rom.
You just need to read the 3-4 last pages to find the answers.

CM9 error while trying to install it

(First off, XDAFAIL. So if you have made 10 posts you instantly get smarter and get allowed to post in devolpment sub-forum section )
I edited the link (correct topic now):
[ROM][ICS 4.0.4][3G] CyanogenMod9 (29 Mar) (Cornerstone Available)
I have fully rooted transformer. At the moment I have the rooted latest official Asus version. I have cloackworkMod Recovery V.3.2.0.1 gee one-tf101-ww (is this outdated? I had the one that has the rebootloop issue).
When trying to install the zip after wiping cache (dalvik,...) it gives me the fallowing error:
Code:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "tf101" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "tf101"
E:Error in /sdcard/cmp9/update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-tf101-KANG-29Mar-signed.zip (status 7)
Installation aborted
(the .zip file is not corrupted... md5 result is the same)
So anyone know what the problem might be? I am gona look some more into this and try and install another clockwordMod.

Why are you linking [ROM][1.APR.2012][3G]AOKP (Android Open Kang Project) *OFFICIAL* [v1.8] Build 29! when you are trying to flash update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-tf101-KANG-29Mar-signed.zip?
The 10 post rule worked really well here since you would have posted in the wrong thread anyway.
Not sure if it has anything to do with your problem but you should update to CWM 5 by Roach.

uh.. you are coming from stock ASUS rom. To avoid possible complications, you should wipe more than just dalvik cache. Do a full wipe.

Hmm, no I just made a error linking the wrong topic (I wouldn't have had to do that if I could just reply to the topic at hand). And yes, I am doing a full wipe (hence the "...").
The topic this relates to is:
[ROM][ICS 4.0.4][3G] CyanogenMod9 (29 Mar) (Cornerstone Available)
Btw, damm you reCaptcha! Its sometimes hard to read :S (i keep asking for new ones )
edit:
I found the problem! It was indeed because of the clockwork version (installed the team rogue version back again (wish is way better anyways!) and it works fine now).

[Q] [L7] Can't install CM, Status 7

I've been trying to install the April 7th Nightly of CM 10 on my L7, but the installation aborts on the product check.
Code:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "p700" || getprop ("ro.build.product") == "p700"
The phone is a P700, not a 705 or 708 and is currently running the pre-rooted V20a with CWM v6.0.2.8.
Any advice?

Sorry, found out in the meantime that this seems to be a bug in the touch-based CWM.

Had this problem too, just edit the updater-script and remove that specific line.

Download ROM Manager and install the official CWM recovery and then flash CM. Then you won't get any error.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind for next time. For now, I'm using the non-touch CWM.

[SOLVED!] Unable to flash MIUI - Status 7

PROBLEM FOUND AND FIXED! Answer in Post #3

Hey guys
I've been trying to install MIUI for hours, using both CWM or TWRP, and I'm always receiving the same error message:
Writing recovery

I've flashed CM without a problem, and an original stock ROM as well.
Why is MIUI giving me a hard time?
**I already followed this guide: http://en.miui.com/thread-13226-1-1.html**
Thank you!

Use Philz recovery (just flash zip attch in rec) it's something to do with the older binary code-that's why it's status 7 ?

Well, after deciding to fix this problem once and for all, I added a "ui_print" after
every (well not every) line, to see exactly where is the installation failing.
The discovery? It fails at:
set_perm(0, 0, 0555, "/data/local/tmp/relink");
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The solution?
Change all "/data/local/tmp/relink" into "/tmp/relink" like so:
package_extract_file("META-INF/com/miui/relink", "/tmp/relink");
set_perm(0, 0, 0555, "/tmp/relink");
run_program("/tmp/relink");
delete("/tmp/relink");

1) Extract "updater-script" from the ROM file (using winrar for example)
It's located in META_INF > COM > GOOGLE > ANDROID
2) Change the parts I wrote in the previous post
3) paste the "updater-script" file inside the rom
Good luck

i9500 MIUI Flashing Error
After downloading the MIUI ROM, open with winrar and locate the updater-script
\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script
and remove the first line of code
getprop("ro.product.device") == "ja3g" || getprop("ro.product.device") == "ja3g" || abort("This package is for "ja3g" devices; this is a "" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "".");
save and update from the winrar app.
