Comment RSSUpdate Your Google Nexus One Manually
If like us, you’re too impatient to wait for Google to roll-out the latest Nexus One patch to your phone, you can install the update manually. It’s quite a simple process (you don’t need to ‘root’ your phone), and all the instructions can be found below:
Download the official patch from google.
- Rename the downloaded file to update.zip
- Plug in phone via USB and Mount the device
- Copy update.zip to memory card’s root directory
- Shut down phone
- Hold down the track ball and turn on the phone
- In the bootloader, use the volume up/down buttons to scroll through the menus and press the power button to select
- Select Bootloader > Recovery
- Now that the phone is in Recovery mode, hold down the power button and tap volume up to load the menu
- In Recover mode we use the trackball to navigate (instead of volume/power)
- Select the update.zip (press the trackball)
- Once the update has completed, reboot the phone
That’s it! Your N1 is now up to date.
