[aaron19953]

trivia while we wait... what was the jeopardy theme song based off of ?

 

[bguild]

dang, i was thinking if I stayed up until 3am ET, I'd have this update.zip by now. Verizon should target first round updates to people who understand how to get files off of their Droid.

We have a 2.1 download link and update.zip!

I'll post the OTA update.zip momentarily on alldroid. The thread is already created: 2.1 download link, credit to ugot2go123 on androidforums

Happy downloading to devs and to those that want 2.1 without root.

This might be a very nooby question, but I don't want to do something wrong. ! So excited!!! Anyways can someone tell me how to properly install Android 2.1 on the Droid?

 

[Kennethjmc]

Thanks man! Has anyone tried this? Does it work? Because I have no idea what to do with it to be honest.

 

[jamesdean]

Where does the zip file need to be placed on the SD card and what is the procedure to install it? Sorry if this has been discussed but could not find it.

Thanks!!! In he post you linked to on alldriod, do you need to rename it to update.zip?

 

[Speeddymon]

Yes, rename to update.zip and place in the root of /sdcard

Then reboot to recovery and install (note that you will lose root access, as we do not have a known root exploit for this yet once installed).

We do have a way to root it for those that do not install the update, but not a way to root once installed.

 

[LukeS]

Everything worked perfect for me thank you to all responsible!

Did you just rename the file to update.zip and boot ino recovery?

 

[billtvshow]

I keep on getting Installation aborted. Apparantly the signature verification failed. :O

 

[ludachris]

got it worked great thanks for the work guys

 

[Santamoose]

So what do we do if we don't have an /sdcard or /cache? I've never done anything like this but I'm somewhat comp savvy. Just not with phones or Android.

Any help appreciated!

All I get is this

--Install from sdcard...
Finding update package..
Opening update package..
Verifying..
E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (NO such file or directory) Even though I downloaded it, renamed it update.zip and stuck it on the phone

E:Signature verification failed..
Aborted.

 

[aaronvb]

Thanks so much. Worked perfectly. I downloaded the file and followed this guide:

Did it mess up your droid or just not let you install it?

 

[rm249]

Worked here, thanks a lot Speeddymon and ugot2go123

it worked for me. i made an alternate mirror on my rapidshare account..
rename to update.zip, but on root of sd card
turn on phone while holding power and x,
press up arrow on volume rocker and camera button at same time (make take a couple times) and apply update.zip
