Nexus One - Rooted - Can't do any updates

[Guest mikeweb]

Hi,

I have a Google Nexus One, in hopes of enabling multi-touch I rooted the phone after I got it using instructions I found on the net (i'm not sure where anymore, sorry).

The phone is now unlocked (and has a lock on the startup screen) but alas multi-touch did not enable.

Now that there is an OTA update it says assert failed and from my googling I can gather that is because the phone is rooted. I have found on this forum the following post:

http://android.modaco.com/index.php?s=&amp...t&p=1177724

I am followiung the "If you are on a non-stock device" step 1 -> 6 but on step 1 I downloaded the update, renamed it to update.zip and copied it to the phone, booted into recovery mode and when I select apply update.zip it says verification failed.

Can anyone please help me?

FYI "About Phone"

Firmware version: 2.1

Baseband version: 32.19.00.16U_4.02.02.14

Kernel version: 2.6.29-gad36b87 android-build@apa26 #1

Build number: ERD79

Ok I finally managed to get past this.

FYI to anyone who has this problem:

I downloaded Android SDK, Downloaded Fastboot and downloaded the stock ERD79 images via http://android.modaco.com/content/google-n...insecure-himem/

Using fastboot i flashed the boot.img and system.img and recovery.img

I then downloaded Amon_RA's recovery img (1.6.2) and installed that via fastboot.

Using Amon Ra's recovery (this guy is a legend) - I booted into recovery mode, downloaded the update.zip package from http://android.modaco.com/content/google-n...insecure-himem/ - toggled USB MS, copied it onto the phone and performed the Update via Amon Ra's recovery console.

Viola - all working :-)
