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

[superkeest]

I checked my firmware, and it says thats what i have.

Yea im having the same problem, I get "assert failed" then a bunch of mumbo jumbo when its trying to verify system.

 

[ehasley]

I flashed clockwork from ROM manager and I already had SPRecovery installed.

Restarted the phone and it hung at the "M" for 20 min.

Popped the batt and now phone is unresponsive.

WOW! I know I could have waited a few days and got the OTA, but this is like Christmas morning! Man this is AWESOME!!!

One of hte set of instructions you use the computer to install the update - and thus it *is* connecte to the PC.

The other set of instructions uses the phone only to do it.

Can anyone tell me if the multimedia DOCK app looks any different?

Fast download speeds for now - verifying checksums -

Let me try again - file size is obviously wrong on my computer.

Second attempt to DL it worked fine,

Thanks Trident!

Everything worked great for me. Glad I downloaded it before the rush started.

 

[superkeest]

has anyone got this to install with sprecovery?

 

[johnlgalt]

For all you Bugless BEast fans:

Pete is working on rooting the file - is Downlaoding it from the Google Servers irectly.

Thanks Trident, you rule.

Did you follow the guide exactly and slowly? Since hte file is named update.zip, it should work fine with SPRecovery. If the file is not 45.2 MB in size / the MD5 does not match as posted ( MD5: 2e155b3f08fd2e953ce9c0948cf9eb12) then you have a bad download.

Thanks everyone for this!

Works perfect!! I did do a factory wipe after the download and that seemed to make it even more smooth.

 

[missrachel]

Trident, thank you so much!

Everything went smoothly for me! Froyo looks GREAT!

Things were a little slow immediately after my first boot up (including a freeze and reboot), but after rebooting a 2nd time, everything seems to be running fine! And quickly!

It doesn't wipe your a 2.1 apps or data? That's my only hesitation. I need to just jump on this if that's the case?

 

[examan]

Up and running updated from 2.0.1 to 2.1 then to 2.2 just to be on the safe side. Thank you!!

Nope, all DATA settings and APPS come over

I am still waiting (and waiting) for the phone to reboot, but I am looking forward to this update! Thanks to Trident, Google, and Motorola (no thanks to a certain phone company that won't let you tether).

Sorry if this is stupid but to unmount my SD do I just go to the SD card option in settings or do I physically do anything to the phone??

 

[Josefius]

I love the new lock/unlock sound option.

Just in the notification panel.

 

[johnlgalt]

Lol he striks again

 

[Rammknot]

Can anyone tell me if the multimedia DOCK app looks any different?

yeah, quiet a bit different.


When first plugged in:

when brigness turned down (new brightness button looks like a sun half shaded):

Then after left idle for about 5 minutes (time bounces around the screen):

Just in the notification panel.

I meant if I'm installing entirely on my Droid and not plugged into my PC at all, though?
