Howto Vodafone UK Nexus One to Gingerbread

In case this is copied, go to the original site which should be http://philatwarrimoo.blogspot.com/2011/02/howto-vodafone-uk-nexus-one-to.html


A friend made this great guide.


http://ossadmin.wordpress.com/2011/02/26/goodbye-vodafone-uk-nexus-one-rom/


I have to same phone with the same Vodafone UK ROM and I kept my log of what I did in case it might help others.


All of the screenshots are from the above blog.


Notes:


All the following stages are similar. The first is a little different, but the others are virtually the same - the differences being the URL to get the file, and the name of the file to copy to your phone's SD card.


Sometimes the phone will automatically reboot after the installation of the update.zip file - other times you will need to manually reboot it by selecting the right menu item. All of this should be obvious.


Just follow these steps in order. If you get lost or miss a step, just start again (I did that a few times).


MD5


I do not know the original MD5 sums of the files listed below, but so you can verify that you get the same file as I did, here are my MD5 sums:

passimg.zip (the file extracted from the file above)

Stage 1: Revert to Android 2.2


1. Get http://shipped-roms.com/download.php?category=android&model=Passion%20(Nexus%20One)&file=Passion_Google_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_MFG_Shipment_ROM.zip

2. Extract PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_release_signed.zip

5. From your computer, copy passimp.zip to the root directory of your SD card
6. Eject USB device phone from your computer
7. Turn off USB storage
8. Power off the phone using the Power button (POWER) - like you normally would do
9. Hold down the Volume Down button (VOL DOWN) and keep it held down

A blue progress bar will be shown as it loads passimg.zip

The update will take a while. Progress is shown with various coloured progress bars

13. When done it will ask: 'Do you want to reboot device?' Press (VOL UP) to say yes

The phone will reboot

14. Disconnect the USB cable

The phone will say 'Welcome to Nexus One'. You don't want to do anything here so for me I skipped the setup like this:

15. Touch the screen

17. Tap the Skip button
18. Tap Next button

Now, you can check to see if it all worked:

Stage 6: Delete phone data (but not your SD card)

NB: I'm not sure this is required.

1. Goto Settings - Privacy - Factory data reset

If you want to keep your SD card data, DO NOT select 'Erase SD card'


Stage 7: Login and restore your apps

Once you enter your Google account details, your Google apps and settings should be restored. Your other apps will also be restored but y.our data will not be restored - use your backup

Any app not installed from the market will need to be manually restored.

I may have interrupted the restoration process by switching to a different WiFi Access Point - you probably should not do that.

    The PASSIMG.ZIP process is a little different to the others. Ensure you downloaded the right file and that you extracted the right from the zip file.

    For me to even have a chance of helping, you neeed to tell me everything you do and what you see on the screen. To say that PASSIMG is wrong is not much to work with.

    If your phone is locked it may not even be possible to do this either.

    I have added the MD5 sums of each of the files including the passimg.zip file to the blog.

    Check that the files you have downloaded have the same MD5 sums.

    For the passimg.zip file that you get from inside the Passion_Google_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_MFG_Shipment_ROM.zip file, I have calculated the MD5 sum for that as well.

    Please note that you need to unzip the Passion_Google_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_MFG_Shipment_ROM.zip file and then rename the PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_release_signed.zip file to passimg.zip and then copy passimg.zip to the SD card.

    Neither of the files you tried are correct. You have to open up the Passion_Google_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_MFG_Shipment_ROM.zip file.
    Inside is another zip file called PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_release_signed.zip.
    You need to copy this file to your SD card and rename it to passimg.zip.

    how to check that the md5sum matches mine

    ReplyDelete
  11. philTuesday, March 01, 2011 8:49:00 am

    The ONLY file that should be renames passimg.zip is PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_release_signed.zip.

    If that did not work then I am running out of ideas for you.

    Try again perhaps?

    On linux and Mac OS-X, use md5sum. On Windows you will have to research that for yourself as I don't know - be careful, there is a lot of malware out there for Windows.

    You could try this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841290

    Re:Vodafone Nexus One
    I only needed step 1.
    Step 2 upgrade didn't work for me because the file at google (4. Get http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/passion/766a101ae02c.signed-passion-ota-60505.766a101a.zip) results in a 404 error.
    After step 1 was successfully completed, I used a wifi connection (plugged into the mains just in case) and dialed *#*#2432546#*#* to run a checkin/ping googles update servers for an update.
    It automatically download the 83+mb file for Gingerbread.
    My beloved Nexus now has
    Android Version: 2.3.4
    Baseband Version: 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
    Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-59463-g52630a3 android-build@apa28 #1
    Build Number: GRJ22

    All super easy, and with any luck I no longer have to worry about relying on vodafone for my updates.
    Just gotta re-install my apps now.
    Hope this helps any one else out there!

    Re:Vodafone Nexus One
    Update from my previous post.
    All my backups apps installed correctly.
    Can use my vodafone sim, no pitfalls there. Calls & sms both okay, as is my mobile 3g for internet access & google maps.
    Gained some speed, internal memory usage is improved, wifi connection is stable even on standby, only gripe I have is that I lost the ability to wake my phone using the trackball.
    Again, hope this helps someone to ditch the vodafone Nexus updating policy.
