//1) Prepare a capacity of more than 256MB SD card, it is recommended to use Sandisk, Kingstone, or Kingmax
//2) Formatting SD card (optional)
//3) Right-click software compression package, select extract to the current directory, unzip completed there will be a dload directory
//4) confirm the existence updata.app file dload directory and then copy the dload to the SD card root directory
//5) When the phone turned off, insert the SD card, press the hang up button + volume up button + power button, the phone automatically goes into upgrade mode, and then begin the upgrade.

Hi all, first time posting. I am just wondering how I go about finding said software compression package mentioned in step 3. I am definitely a newb here so help on that would be amazing. Thanks

The most specific and realistic date is late March. To satisfy your thirst for 2.2, I recommend you install Icarus. The instructions are detailed enought to be succesfully carried out by newbies.

yup

Updated the title to make it known that this is the unofficial Froyo release.

My personal advice, I wouldn't take the risk and just wait for the official update if this confuses/worries you.
