Forced 2.0.1 DROID UPDATE! HOWTO

[cdd543]

awesome..mine is rebooting after loading the new image. Worked like a charm!

 

[Ickselglic]

Worked just fine for me.

in what folder on the sd do we put the zip?

This is really why open source rocks - can you imagine the hysteria that'd be going on at Apple if users did this sort of thing to get an iPhone update early?

Just to the root of the SD

Haha agreed, this is why I couldn't wait to get an android.

attempting now

seems to be installing hopefully no problems i usually dont attempt stuff like this lol

 

[RobStemen]

I did it! Right now I'm just staring at the robotic eye. I'm a little concerned...

hmm...not working for me then

Loading it now...the time from pressing vol+ and camera to the list of options appearing took a while, or I wasn't pressing it right. I had to do it a number of times.

installing the update now.

Rebooting now...(scary music in background)

Motorola logo appears...

Oh NO!!


It worked.

Is it just me or is the Droid eye different after the update?

First boot took a lot longer than a normal boot...must be doing something as a part of the first start after update? I don't remember anyone else reporting that...it sat on the Droid eye for quite a while.

I'm not seeing any impressive performance improvement in scrolling the home screen (using the stock home screen or Home++). If I didn't know the phone was updated I wouldn't notice any difference.

The updated look of the Power widget is quite nice.

Glad I didn't wait up for this...would have been disappointed.

It took mine 2-3 minutes to boot up. I was at the eye for quite a while

Just hoping:

A. There are no issues with this update (apps compatibilty and such)
B: In case there is, we can download 2.0 as a zip to be reapplied in case this update is a problem.

I highly doubt there will be any issues. Just thinking.

Thanks OP for the instructions and DL link!

 

[-Myk-]

after updating is it cool to delete the update.zip from the sd card?

finally! - a use for the D-pad

Can't seem to get that recovery menu to pop up. I get the recovery screen, but pressing the volume up button and the camera button does nothing.

 

[RobStemen]

Pulled the battery and... SHE WORKS! IT'S ALIVE! Now it's time... To play... *mwahaha*

Can't seem to get that recovery menu to pop up. I get the recovery screen, but pressing the volume up button and the camera button does nothing.

Yup it takes a little while, I'm going to edit my first/topic post about that!

 

[Fadelight]

I can get it into recovery mode... but pressing the vol+ and camera button doesn't do anything for me. No menu.



Ninja edit: Nevermind... you don't press them at the same time. You press them in sequence. Got it now.

 

[iamloco724]

success!!..same question as above i could delete the update file now right?
