[How-To] Force the Official Android 2.2 Froyo Update for the Motrola Droid (FRG01B | Update 1 of 2)

Thanks for the post!!
I've got 2.1 rooted. What's the best way to update to 2.2? Or should I wait for 2.2 to get rooted before upgrading?

Honestly, who knows how long it'll be before 2.2 is rooted, if ever. Your best bet is to just take the plunge and use the OTA.
 
Not sure if anyone else had this issue. I sort of followed directions on how to install using just the phone, but it was a no go. Long story short, I already had an update.zip and when I tried to rename what I downloaded from Google's servers Astro didn't give me a warning (or I didn't notice it). So I deleted the update.zip, and renamed the 2.2 update to "update.zip" and it seems to have worked.

Side note - I was not able to download the zip using the built in web browser, I used Opera which put the file at the root level.
 
I just downloaded this and went to install it and noticed that I have SPRecovery, I unrooted a while back to 2.0.1 and then did the OTA to 2.1. I figured that would've gotten rid of it.

Can someone help me?

Yes, you need to get the stock recovery image back.

You can apply it with SPRecovery.

I had SPRECOVERY as well and was able to install this without a problem

No!

Yes, Flash is missing in that Market at the moment. It should show up anytime now, though..

And yes, performance is awesome!

And Thanks for the Official credit for being first (at least on this forum) to snag the UPDATE.ZIP

I imagine there were a dozen or so seconds behind me just looking over their past naming system!

So even though USB tethering is now an option. When you connect via USB tether and try to access a web page, you get dumped to dunsp.vzw.net and are asked to activated tethering for 15/month. I guess its back to PDAnet or easytether

You deserve it! :)

Thanks a lot!
 
I had to reinstall the camera since the one of my homescreen no longer worked. The new camera app is great. Much faster!

One problem I am having that I'm hoping someone can help with.

When I searched the market for Flash, I downloaded the "Adobe Flash Showcase" but when I try to go to a flash website I am prompted to download flash which links me to the Market which says that it cannot be found.

Anyone able to run flash who is running the OTA update?
