Guest PCNemy Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) I made a package with all the original files needed (All files were downloaded from HTC and Google) and I also made the commands (for Windows only) to make this extremely easy. Here's the link to the package and don't forget to unzip all files. http://kuldrive.com/host/n1/Back2Stock.zip This is Froyo 2.2.2 and you should be able to get the Gingerbread 2.3.3 OTA update from google right away. The instructions are in the "Read Me.txt". It should be fast and easy, I did it under 5 mins. Keep in mind that this will wipe your phone. Edited March 5, 2011 by PCNemy
Guest Peter sf Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 Gingerbread is comming for the Nexus One. Make sure the bootloader drivers are properly installed or this will not work at all. Let me know if it worked for you or if you have any questions:) THX for your work - can you ad a bit of explanation: In what state has the phone to be, does it matter which ROm and which recovery is installed right now? This is basically also wiping the phone, I guess?
Guest PCNemy Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 Sorry forgot to mention that, yes this will wipe your phone and the phone has to be in the bootloader (you can get there by holding the trackball and pressing the power button) for this to work:)
Guest jango76 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) Thanks PCNemy, I've been meaning to go back to stock for a while, and your work seemed like a good enough incentive. Notes: Restarted to the bootloader, then started Fastboot on the phone to give the PC access to ADB. Read the readme.txt in the download, and followed the instructions. This brought me back to 2.2.1 (update1) Same issues with limited APNs, so you may have to skip the account setup process and add yours manually. System update downloads 2.2.1 (FRG83D) automatically, then asks if you want to install the update. Immediately on rebooting, a second update is available for install, which installs and reboots automatically, the build number moves to FRG83G and the Android version is now 2.2.2. All things working as expected so far - nice piece of AIO work. [Edit: Added more detail.] Edited February 24, 2011 by jango76
Guest yayau85 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) Hey guys, First of all, thanks PCNemy for submitting this. Could you give a bit more explanation how to install them? Do I have to add all the files to my sd card or something? I don't manage to launch the .exe file (if it's what I'm supposed to do lol) Cheers and thx again! EDIT : Didnt check the readme file! Forget my comment Edited February 24, 2011 by yayau85
Guest PCNemy Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 I tried using the latest version (2.2.2) from HTC to make this process much faster but it would give me a lot of problems but using 2.1 would work just fine and just updated from there. Ive been using this for a while and it's always worked for me. Keep in mind that the first update will install an older radio which really sucks, I've included a newer version and instructions on how to install it. You can always replace the .img files with the Android version you want and it'll work as long as they're in the same folder under the same file name. Let me know if you tried another version and if it worked. Hope it works for you guys:)
Guest mrfoo Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Hi all - just so I can confirm. This is the way we're all getting Gingerbread? There's no rooted ROM or anything coming out? If not, why not - is Gingerbread that damn cool? If poss could someone post a nice easy set of steps for noobs like me, i have no qualms about connecting my phone to my pc, using ADB etc but would like something simple that's proven to work before i nuke all my data!
Guest Aviatorboy Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 I have a feeling that this weekend, top-geeks will be busy filling forums like this one with N1-Gingerbread installation procedures. Mr.Foo you are not alone, have faith.
Guest mrfoo Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 But is it at a point where Paul doesn't need to make a kitchen? Surely not!

Guest tropmonky Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 But is it at a point where Paul doesn't need to make a kitchen? Surely not! This is when Paul needs to update the kitchen with Gingerbread along with all the other MoDaCo googies in it. Can't wait, I'm currently running the Cyanogenmod RC1 CM7 and have a few issues with it. It's only 2.3.2, and with 2.3.3 you get webm support and I'm sure it'll be a little more stable being it's a direct ROM for the phone. C'mon Paul, jump outa that Hot Mazda and get us updated Pllllllllllease! :huh:
Guest Turbocom Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 Great this worked perfectly. Don't use a crappy USB cable when you do it though - trust me. Also now I'm trying to update it to 2.2.2 but Google says no updates available!!!!
Guest Pegasus123 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 I tried to follow the instructions on the readme and also on the forum but I am stuck at the DOS screen saying waiting for device. Seems like the phone didn't see N1 connected to the PC... I already installed the latest Android SDK and the Java SDK and I also followed your first instruction. What have I done wrong and what should I do now? My Android version is 2.2.1 and is using r21 MoDaCo Custom Rom. You mentioned that I can install from the Drivers folder.. Am I installing it on the PC or on the phone memory card? Where should I put those files? "Make sure the bootloader drivers are properly installed or this will not work at all." - how do I know if I installed properly? I am pretty rookie on this and anyone who can share some light is truly appreciated! Thanks PCNemy for your tool!

I can get ADB Devices command to work but Fastboot Devices shows nothing.
Guest Jason Patel Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) I have the sames issue. I can get ADB Devices command to work but Fastboot Devices shows nothing. OK ignore mine is now working. Startup phone while pressing trackball down fastboot will load. "Fastboot devices" now works. Edited February 25, 2011 by Jason Patel
Guest Jason Patel Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 For Completeness you also need to download this file after using the above script to upgrade to FRG83G that is required before Gingerbread update. http://android.clients.google.com/packages...3D.2854b06b.zip
Guest Pegasus123 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 OK ignore mine is now working. Startup phone while pressing trackball down fastboot will load. "Fastboot devices" now works. I already holding down the tracakball and in the white menu with "FASTBOOT USB" but still the Kulrun is still on "waiting for device". What did I do wrong? Please help! My White Menu (I guess that is the Fastboot menu) I have these following: NEXUSONE PVT SHIP S-ON HBOOT-0.33.0012 MICROP-0b15 TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0103 RADIO 0-5.12.00.08 DEC 17 2009, 13:05:23 FASTBOOT USB <VOL UP> to previous item <VOL DOWN> to next item <POWER> to select item BOOTLOADER REBOOT REBOOT BOOTLOADER POWER DOWN I hope all these information will be enough for someone kind enough to help me analyze my problem. THANKS MILLION!!!
Guest Jason Patel Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 @Pegasus123 Once you boot with trackball pressed in. Can you run CMD from your machine (pressume windows) browse to your extracted Back2Stock Dir then type "fastboot devices" what do you get? Does it just return with a blank line?
Guest Pegasus123 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 @Jason Patel Yes, just a blank line and back to the directory prompt...
Guest Jason Patel Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 I know I am going over the same stuff again but this sounds exactly like the problem I had. I was booting up with the method I know holding the <vol down>+<Power button> then scrolling down to the fastboot option and then click power on that. It would not work - I cant see any logical reason why it shouldnt as it says FASTBOOT USB. I then instead had the phone off while pressing and holding the <power>+<trackball> everything looked the same but it works when done this way, on my phone atleast. Sorry if this sounds silly but I was up till 2am not able to get it to work until I figured this out and normally the simplest thing is the answer. Any more details (I prob cant help but someone else may be able to) so unlocked bootloader? (mine is still locked) What ROM have you installed? I did many things as couldnt figure it out I upgraded my HBoot but I dont think this is necessary until you want to install Gingerbread, but your going to have to do it at some point so no harm. hboot-0.35.0017 http://android.clients.google.com/packages...t-0.35.0017.zip
Guest PCNemy Posted February 25, 2011 Report Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) @Jason Patel Yes, just a blank line and back to the directory prompt... Make sure the right drivers are installed. On your phone, put it in fastboot mode. On your computer, go to Device Manager and look for a "ADP Interface-HTC Bootloader" device and if you don't see it then the right drivers are not installed. Look for your phone in the list, and uninstall any current driver. Reinstall the driver from windows update (that actually worked for me) by choosing the automatic option when reinstalling/updating the driver. Im working on a newer zip since it appears that google is not updating from 2.1 anymore. Edited February 25, 2011 by PCNemy
Guest nexy Posted February 26, 2011 Report Posted February 26, 2011 Worthless comment, but its so good to finally have gingerbread!

Thanks for your tip to check Device Manager as I see I have a ! on Android phone and I followed your instruction to update driver and now I can see the ADP Interface-HTC Bootloader. I am able to execute the kulrun and now I am update on 2.1 but like you said.. N1 didn't see a firmware update so I cannot do anything now... @Jason Patel Thanks for your help. Can you give me some instruction as how to use those zip files? I think I am getting closer as you see from above but still not there yet. Many thanks for both of you, esp PCNemy for the great tool! I can smell the gingerbread!! =)
Guest PCNemy Posted March 5, 2011 Report Posted March 5, 2011 I posted a newer version that will get you to Froyo 2.2.2 and you can update to Gingerbread from there. This is just plain Stock. Paul has already released his custom 2.3.3 ROM.

I actually use another way to update to Gingerbread and works fine so far. Thanks again for your effort to make it easier for us
