Please look at Nexus One Wiki, section "Unroot/restore", using PASSIMG method.
It will wipe her data and restore the phone back to completely stock.
Most likely it'll solve her problems.

PASSIMG method restores the phone, no matter if rooted or not.
The problem is that if she's on 2.3.6 - it won't work, the version is too new.
I'll suggest doing a factory reset first, and seeing if it solves the issues.

In this case, 3 options:
1) The radio needs refreshing. Check the radio version in "About phone", see if it's below 5.08, if it's 4.04 or below - it needs upgrade. If it's 5.08 or above - it's fine.
2) The ROM needs refreshing. Root and install custom ROM of choice, or just reinstall the stock one.
3) Camera or its board/connectors/flex is physically damaged.

i have a similar bahavior (black screen on incoming calls).
it happens more with miui rom than with cm7.


what temporary helps is formatting the sd card.
maybe a new sd card will solve the problem ultimately.
try it.

believe me it's not a rom issue. more likely a bad sector on the sd card or something.

No, you wouldn't. Just copy the files from SD card to the computer, if there's anything of value.

Rooting N1 is easiest through unlocked bootloader, but there's also a 1-click-root method available. Search for "ZergRush" in either General or Q&A sections, it'll be there.
