Question about Nexus One SLCD and unlocking bootloader

Hi all,
i have an Nexus One SLCD and want to flash the US Stock Adroid rom so i can get all further updates directly from google OTA.
I don't need root and i don't care if unlocking my bootloader will void my warranty.
The problem is: all i can find are many FAQs about "rooting without unlocking the bootloader".
Since i'm not interested in any custom roms, can somebody please explain to me how i can flash the stock us rom on my german Nexus One SLCD?
Is there any faq for this available?
As i said my two important points are following:
- i want the us stock rom
- i want OTA updates
I would appreciate a short step-by-step description (i did this with my old Nexus One AMOLED but it seems like the older roms don't work with SLCD devices as the drivers are missing, so in don't know which rom to flash after i unlocked the bootloader).
thanks!

Look in Nexus One Wiki, "Unroot/Restore your Nexus", PASSIMG method.
Flash Korean FRF91 ROM.
AFAIK, there is no US ROM with SLCD support.

thanks! i checked the FAQ and have a question about this:
"Using PASSIMG.ZIP method (adapted from here):
1. Revert HBOOT to older version, if needed (required for pre-FRG33 stock builds and for flashing CyanogenMod ROMs).
* Use the following steps to flash PASSIMG.ZIP that differs from EPF30.
"
it says that i have to revert the HBOOT if i have pre-FRG33 stock build (which is the case for me).
but when opening the link the first post says:
"this is especially useful for people who wish to use the rooting method without unlocking the bootloader. If you already have an unlocked bootloader, there is no reason to follow this guide."
since i want to unlock my bootloader, do i need the above mentioned steps at all?
edit: just saw that you updated your reply. is there really no us rom supporting slcd? i was hoping this was the case as even developer phones should start being sold as SLCD versions...

If you have HBOOT 0.33, then you don't need to downgrade it - which leaves you with easy procedure. I've changed the Wiki to be more understandable.

sorry for the dumb question. But how can i check which HBOOT version i have and if i have HBOOT 0.33, does this mean i don't even have to unlock the bootloader (via fastboot) to be able to flash the US STock ROM?

Reboot to bootloader (fastboot), it'll show you the version at the top of the screen.
Unlocking the bootloader isn't required anyway. If all you want is to have a stock ROM - then keep the phone stock, since unlocking won't be of any use to you.
You can flash US stock ROM (FRF91 PASSIMG - link exists in Wiki), but if you happen to end up with a phone that goes black after "X" splash screen - don't say I didn't tell you

But wouldn't my Vodafone Firmware throw an error if i just try to flash a stock us rom? And i would rather try to directly flash the newest rom, because as you said i don't think that FRF91 supports lcd.
Edit:
sorry i just realized that i haven't even mentioned until now that i'm talking about an european vosdafone nexus one SLCD (FRF91)...

The newest FRG83 ROM doesn't exist yet in PASSIMG version that I'm aware of. If it would exist - or if it appears at some point - it'll be easily flashable over FRF91, no matter what build.
Anyway, looks like Korean ROM won't help you, since it doesn't seem to receive OTAs either (I guessed you have VF version). I'm not aware of any other "clean" FRF91 ROM that supports SLCD, and I've googled it for 1/2 hour. You could wait until FRG83 PASSIMG appears, I guess...

Thanks. I rooted my Nexus One now. Guess I have to wait until the passimg FRG83 emerges. But if I want to keep root I have to wait until the passimg is rooted correct? And how long does it usually take until a new stock build is provided as passimg with root?

Can I use this to switch from frf91 Vodafone to stock us FRG 83 rom?

can anyone answer my above question?
my aim is to have a stock us rom (root is no must - so no problem if i lose it during the process. currently i have a rooted vodafone FRF91 device.)

No you can't use that to upgrade the Voda ROM.
As it stands now you'd have to root the phone (using UniversalAndroot if you want to stay locked), and use fastboot or flash_image to "update" system.img and boot.img to the USA/Google orginal ones.

i have unlocked my bootloader now and rooted my device. is there any manual on how i can update system.img and boot.img with fastboot. And where can i find those files? Is there a risk to get a blank screen (SLCD)?

Returning to 2.2 (rootable) stock condition.

Wanna sell my DHD but it currently has a CM7 build on it and I want it returned to stock with the option to still root it if necessary (make it more sellable).
Can anyone point me to a 2.2 RUU version that puts it in the still rootable version range please? It's originally UK SIM-Free model.
Failing that, how about a pre-locked HTC original 2.2 ROM that I can just flash to the rooted phone?
Thanks for any assistance.

The easiest rootable build is this one HERE - 1.32.405.6
Just download, and run.

Exactly what I was after, thanks a bunch.
I assume I need the HTC drivers installed before using this?

Yeah, just install HTC Sync before you run the RUU.

I know this site but there are no version I am looking for.
I guess that sign “OLE-xx” means the version number. Is it true?
If yes, on this site there is version: 1FF-olympus_emara-user-2.3.4-4.5.2A-74_OLE-26-release-keys-signed-NonEFIGSRetail-EU which I think is older than mine (mine was “OLE-27”).
Can you tell me if the version 1FF-olympus_emara-user-2.3.4-4.5.2A-74_OLE-31.1-release-keys-signed-NonEFIGSRetail-EU.sbf.gz will work OK with my phone which was sign “OLE-27”?
Is it international European version without branding? Is the mark “OLE-31” means that it is newer version than mine?
Thanks

My european Atrix had the ole 31 version when I bought it,and it was gb 2.34,unbranded.
Which version of android did yours have? I think ole 27 is like 2.33 or something...can anyone confirm?

It is 2.3.4 too.
The file "OLE-31" on this webpage will works with my device?

Man, this is an european firmware and you got an european device, it should work but flashing with rds-lite is always a risk.
I flashed few times and i got problem for two reasons:
1) i forgot to wipe properly (I suggest to: fastboot -w, fastboot erase system, fastboot erase data, fastboot erase preinstall, fastboot erase cache)
2) I forgot to remove sd-card (f_k*d off) and sim-card (this had more luck)
Flash with battery fully charged and I think you'll enjoy.
live4nyy said:
- Fastboot wipe (optional)
- Remove sd card and sim card (necessary)
- Make sure you have proper drivers (necessary)
- Use the latest RSD (recommended)
- Make sure you have the correct (signed) SBF, best to use the build that the phone was last on officially (important)
- Double check everything (important)
- Put the phone into RSD mode (then plug it into the computer) and select the appropriate file in RSD and press "Start" (cross fingers)
Always use caution when using RSD. If you're not sure about something then find the answer FIRST.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage you might cause to your phone by following these instructions. This is a suggested overview and you should put in the proper amount of research and time to make sure you are doing things correctly.
With that said, depending on why you want to return to stock it may be preferable to use a "Fruitcake" as others have suggested, but I have successfully used RSD Lite to return my phone to stock in the past so it is "possible", though not recommended.
Good luck.

you need to return to stock to install the OTA. use the system.img and stock recovery that match your current version here I have here > https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=28823
How do I restore stock system so that I can accept an OTA?
Copy the system.emmc.win from your TWRP backup folder to the folder containing fastboot on your PC (or any folder, if fastboot is in your PATH). Make sure your Android SDK platform-tools are up to date!!
Reboot the device into Download mode (adb reboot download) and connect to PC.
Fastboot flash the backup file* (fastboot flash system system.emmc.win).
Fastboot flash stock recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img)
Reboot to system, install OTA.
