How to get stock Froyo for Nexus One

[cybercowboy372]

Hey guys, I just bought a Nexus One off of craigslist. The guy that I bought it from has CyanogenMod-6.0.0-N1 on it right now. Im not really experienced with flashing custom roms and rooting or any of that stuff. I put Froyo on my Captivate when I had and thats it. What I would like to do is to get my Nexus One back on stock Froyo so I can start with a clean slate. Im not sure of everything that the previous owner did to the phone and Ive been having a couple of issues with it, so I just want to start over so I know exactly what is on the phone. So what I need to know is how I can do this.

-Where can I find a stock Froyo file?

-How do I put it on my Nexus One? Do I have to erase the CyanogenMod first?

-Any other hints or good roms that you guys would suggest.

Im sorry if there is already another thread like this. I couldnt find it. Thank you for any help.

Also, I forgot to ask if there is a way to back up my phone so I dont have to reinstall all of my apps every time i flash a new RoM. Thanks for any help

You need to look for the FRG33 stock Rom and flash that. Once that is flashed it should pick up the update to 2.2.1. I don't remember the name of the file off hand but search the forums at xda or nexusoneforums and you should find it. I did that on my N1 after playing with cyanogen and wanting to go back to stock.
