Installing the OTA 2.1 file

Filipino.Cowboy · May 14, 2010

For those mentioning it hanging on the VZW screen for a bit, this is completely normal

truelove79 · May 14, 2010

Wow, the Verizon Wireless splash screen takes FOREVER!!

OH man, and now it's loading sense and taking forever!!

It says "Loading... It may take several minutes to complete, please wait."

The people that updated from 1.5 call yourself to see if the phone immediately rings or waits 3 seconds. i'm curious as that was the only issue i had with 2.1 before i found out how to set the delay to 1, (i forget the number i entered to get to that screen,.

also is there voice to text capabilities in text messaging

is the dial pad laggy

tried it i get no response? i held it for like 3 mins. my soft keys dont seem to be responding correctly.

LMAO, might as well have gone to the rooted 2.1v3. Now your in the same boat as the rest of us. GG.

This is still a no go for the leakers. If HTC is aware we arent receiving the update because the version number can't they release an update that updates no matter what version your on just for us? I am a coder and to my understanding all they would need to do is remove the version check scripts.

mine is still not working, still saying installation aborted i dont understand

well they are already mentioning several of the bugs I saw on the leaks...so I would imagine you'll probably get confirmation of this from those who upgraded successfully

Kevkelsar · May 14, 2010

Just for kicks and giggles, will one of you who upgraded this way from 1.5 check your HBOOT and post it in the following thread?

http://androidforums.com/htc-droid-eris/78458-attn-leakers-otad-not-1-5-otaers.html

Remember, you can only check your HBOOT by powering off your phone, then holding Volume Down and then pressing the power button. You can't check it from any settings within the phone.

Ok..can someone assist me..... I'm at this step.. [FONT=&quot]Press the POWER button and HOME soft button at the same time, and you should be presented with a menu. One of the options should be "Apply sdcard:update.zip". Choose that one.

htc doesnt have to do anything for any of us leakers....it is a risk you took going to a leaked os.

that siad, i am not too worried, the dev's, i hope, will figure something out.

xxfrozen · May 14, 2010

well maybe verizon google/verizon will release an update to fix the bugs in about 10 months.

It still saids .zip

It's different for everyone. If you can see your file extensions in Windows, then you NEED to see update.zip

If you have your file extensions hidden in Windows, then you WON'T see the .zip.

In Windows 7, right click on Computer, goto Properties.
Then Tools, Folder Options, "View" tab, and uncheck the box that says "hide extensions for known file types".

That will show you all of your file extensions in the file name.

Press the house/home button and hold/press power. If that does not work. Press volume up and power. and wait for 10 seconds or so.

truelove79 · May 14, 2010

And done. 2.1!!!

Tooleman694 · May 14, 2010

I had to reconfigure all kinds of stuff, but now im back in business..

tproctor · May 14, 2010

My problem was that I downloaded the file straight to my phone. It placed the update.zip file in a download folder instead of the top level. I got Astro and moved it to the top level and it is currently rebooting.

Can you get us your hboot number? With the phone off, hold down the volume button as you power on. Read that number, report it, then pull the battery and restart your phone normally. Thanks.

Tooleman694 · May 14, 2010

I love the weather effect..

Caddyman · May 14, 2010

It sounds like you're on a leaked 2.1?
If so, everyone that it's working for is on 1.5, I believe.

POWER + HOME work for 1.5
POWER + VOL UP work for 2.1

gotweed · May 14, 2010
