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

johnlgalt said:
Are you saying you tried applying it twice, or just once? If just once, hell, try again. You should not be having such issues, but just in case you are, a battery pull might not hurt.



Nope only one install but it keeps rebooting all on it's own and has hung up forcing me to do a battery pull 3x now. I'll try the re-installing it just to see what happens. It keeps FC the installer program out of the clear blue and then locks up.

Ill post updates after the new re-install!

1: Sure. Or you can get the files from Pete's site as well, although if I were you I'd stick with P3's from the site you linked to - IIRC, it already has Busybox, which Pete's does not.....

2: Well, since FRG22 is what the OTA is going to, probably not - but there is a small likelihood that *everyone* will get a notification for the final 2.2 OTA, b/c I was running Pete's BB 0.4 and *I* received the notification for the 2.2 first OTA last week.

For future OTAs, you should receive notifications.

3: There is a whole school of thought on how you don't need them and I tend to agree - however, I keep one installed b/c 1) I bought it, and 2) for those Justin Case moments (sorry for the play on words).

Android is pretty efficient at managing your memory, and killing apps that automatically load actually slows performance, b/c temporarioly your phone is faster while you're doing something, and then it slows again as it continues to do what you're trying to do *and* starts re-loading those apps that were running in the background. If there are apps you don't want running at all, you're better off uninstalling them.

If they are system apps, like Corporate email, then you're better off learning how to root and removing them yourself so they won't auto run.

Another theory would be to look into AutoStart apps and configuring those, if possible (never tried it myself).



Ummm, no, b/c Facebook is an app that you install from the market - and the last two updates from market were made this past week. After this version was already primed and readied for release.

Ok, again, thanks for your help I'm really new to all this. A quick ffew more please:

You said in regards to should I install FRG22:
1: Sure. Or you can get the files from Pete's site as well, although if I were you I'd stick with P3's from the site you linked to - IIRC, it already has Busybox, which Pete's does not.....

Pete's site doesn't have FRG22. What do you mean P3's from the site I linked to - IIRC? What's busybox?

I went to droidforums.net, that linked to mydroidfiles.com to d/l FRG22. There's deodexed and non-deodexed files. Which should I rename and apply?

Will this make me rooted (don't want to be)? Did applying FRG01b make me rooted?

Thanks again for your patience with a noobie

So far the reinstall has helped tremendously! Small issues remain like different FC that were nto there b4 but at least now it has not locked requiring a batt pull.

Takes forever to DL from the market now tho??? I am connected to my wifi and browser works fine but market took 7 minutes to DL weatherbug again...

Pete's site does have frg22 - look at Peter Alfonso

The FRG22 is the one I am talking about. The Odexed is non-rooted, the DEOdexed is rooted. The one at MyDroid that is Odexed will also work.

Remember, DEOdexed is rooted. the odexed (or, as you said, non-Deodexed) is non-root.

Market is just like any other network - if it is being taxed by a heave load your downloads may suffer. Also, you have to take into consideration your own connection, your ISPs traffic, and a whole multitude of other factors.

Glad the re-isntall seems to have worked, though.

Like I told rqballjh, you're actually better off going ahead and installing FRG22.

DL the frg22 zip from Pete's page but it fails to install. Do you need to rename it or not?

Depends upon how you are installing it. With SPRecover,y yes, you need to rename it to update.zip. If you are using Clockwork Mod, no, you just need to put it on the SDCard.

Neither recovery will allow you to install it if you have spaces in the file name.

because it is not released yet, it is still in Beta 3, and when it is released it will be in the Market.

See http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid/106331-so-where-can-i-get-official-flash-player.html

Found the FRG22 update @ erictric < Verizon Wireless to Make FRG22 Build of Android 2.2 for Motorola Droid Available? [Updated] > Do we need to rename this file before we attempt to install? Is the installation process the same? Is this covered somewhere in this 15 page thread? I won't lie I didn't read the entire thing but all I saw was info about FRG01B.

See my reply above.

The link in that blog, btw, links to MyDroidWorld - might want to actually read the posts at MDW to see what you need to do.
 
Hmmm, did you do the OTA update when it came to your phone, or did you manually do it?

If you did it manually, you'll do this one the same way. If you did it manually before and it was renamed to update.zip (or already named update.zip) then you'll need this one named the same way.

I don't know which file I actually need to download. I have no clue if I want a deodexed version or a non-deodexed version.
 
where/when can i find the no-root version of FRG22? the update this thread was based on didn't work for me, so i hope FRG22 will.
