Guest anthdroid Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Hi everyone, I have been using the Kitchen for some time now using different roms on my N1. I am rooted and have Recovery/Nandroid/etc. How can I get my N1 ready for FroYo? I am very hopeful it will be a live OTA update this week because of the Google I/O event. I guess I just want to go back to stock, in hopes of getting an OTA update. I would also like to retain the custom Recovery and all my Nandroid backups. Is that possible now? Thanks!

Once you've installed a custom recovery (even if you flash stock back) you cannot receive OTA updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thedonkey Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 I would flash stock Rom and recovery you can get directions on how to at xda. Save your nandroid backups on your pc for later use. Wait for froyo :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sylar2010 Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 If your phone is rooted I would wait a couple of days that Enom or CM build a froyo version of their ROMs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange, it seems everywhere I've read that as long as you put the stock ROM back on your nexus, OTA updates should begin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I've read that too, hence my question in the first place...I really don't care- other than the fact that I don't want to wait, I want FroYo as soon as it is released!

You are right about stock ROM will prompt for OTA update. However, the OTA will not install if u have Custom Recovery Image. Note that ROM and Recovery Image are two different things, in order to update using Google's OTA measure, you will need Stock ROM and Sock Recovery. You can flash stock recovery image very easily, just search the pinned topics for details. If you want Froyo as soon as it is released, you are better off hanging on to the custom recovery image for the time being. Chances are the latest ROM will get repackaged and appear here before the OTA is sent through. The last Nexus One OTA took about 4 days to reach UK after public release, but showed up here minutes after it is official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why I'm getting too excited about Froyo, it probably won't release till November or something. Just because the announcement is in May.

I fancy it'll leak to here/XDA very soon after being announced, we'll have it on a custom rom long before it is officially out in the wild. No reason to say that, I just think it'll happen, after all, the nexus is basically a developers phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Droid800 Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Once you've installed a custom recovery (even if you flash stock back) you cannot receive OTA updates. If you reflash the stock recovery you'll be fine. If you have stock with a custom recovery it will prompt you to download the update, but install will fail.
