It seems like some of us Nexus One users, received an OTA update that updates the build number to FRF83. Unfortunately, if you are currently running the FRF72 update, you are going have to downgrade to FRF50 to install the latest build. As we know FRF50 is the 44MB update initially sent out by Google on the night of May 21st. That update file is here; signed-passion-FRF83-from-FRF50.38d66b26.zip.
Pick from the respective list below:
- Stock Nexus One and want Android 2.2 without having to root
- Download File One, and File Two
- Follow these instructions for EACH update
- Remember Build order, 1) Stock 2.1 update 1- ERE27 2) Froyo 1-FRF50 3) Froyo latest- FRF83
- Rooted Nexus One currently running Android 2.2 FRF50
- Follow this GUIDE first!
- Once you have successfully gone to a stock ROM without custom recovery, you are going to HAVE to download the original Android 2.1 update 1 update which you can find HERE.
- Lastly, look above to ”Stock Nexus One and want Android 2.2 without having to root” and follow those instructions.
- Make sure you follow those instructions in order.
*UPDATE*
- It has been reported that some current FRF72 users are receiving the OTA and are able to install the update with no problem.
- It is rumored that you can start the update manually by going into the dialer and pressing *#*#Checkin#*#* (*#*#2432546#*#*)
- Also, If you are already running FRF72 there is no need to downgrade, just follow the following instructions.
- Stock Build Nexus One running Android 2.2 FRF72
- Download this file HERE
- Follow the guide
- Rooted Nexus One running Android 2.2 FRF72
(Thanks PaulOBrien)
This is the root method I used and know for a fact that it works, If you have any problems leave them in the comments and I’ll respond with hopefully an answer. If this method has worked for you let us know below. Thanks!

just received the OTA update to FRF83.. was running FRF72 and received notification of the update on N1 (no prompting from me). It installed really quick. Haven’t noted any changes yet, but still looking.
Thanks for the heads up @thargic. One more user to confirm that and I’ll update my post!

The guy from Android and Me also got an update from FRF72 OTA. Think it might be worth updating the post (maybe with a note that its unconfirmed) to save people the hassle of unnecessary downgrades if they can wait

Update from FRF50 to FRF83 worked flawlessly for me. I tried checkin first, but no update for me so I pushed it manually. Reinstalled Swype. Non-market app shortcuts on the home screens needed to be dropped back on, but all was totally expected. Is it wrong to be hungry for gingerbread already?

Thanks Stefing, that worked perfectly 72-83.
Checkin pushed nothing, but manually updating that worked fine.

In the Guide to restore the N1 to the stock ROM the step 2 says “unzip the original shipping ROM”..unzip it where???
And after all that how do I apply the update from erd79 to ere27 that I previously downloaded?

I followed the original instructions and went all the way back to the factory image. Now I have frf83 but I am having trouble rooting again. Can someone please help me out on this? I ran the proper install.bat and I have superuser as an app, but I cant get any su prompt or any root apps to verify root. adam4homes@gmail.com

Thanks Androidspin!
Easy as can be.
I’ve been biding my time, dreaming, crying, drinking, hoping for an OTA from ERE27, but I just couldn’t take it anymore!! Manually updating to the latest build will ensure I have the spunkiest, most unavailable phone in Australia! Bwahaha!
Cheers!

1-Swype had to be reinstalled
2-Google Voice icon had to be refreshed
am now able to see YouTube video IN the browser page. woohoo!!!

works flawlessly cep my phone still only runs on edge no 3g =crap
If you are only getting edge service you may have the tmobile version of the phone. Due to GSM band limitations Rogers only has edge service available. The phone should connect to windmobile.ca no problem though.

Now I am really excited. My bedroom always had zero or minimal coverage for 3G signal. Immediately after update to FRF83, full 3G signal. WIN!

Looks like in Settings, Voice input & output settings there is a menu I didnt notice before… “Voice Recognizer Settings” which apparently controls safe searches and offensive words.

If I have the mytouch 3g for Tmob in the US what is the SAFE way to get this update without waiting for the OTA
