"and ask the phone if it is up to date by checking the version number. "

Gee if that isn't : "Phone has to be queried in some respect" THAT is a POLL.

Then you are on a differnet planet than I am.

If phone responds with the 2.1 from a manual, then the file is not pushed. You do not get the notification to even do it until after the file has been DL'd to your phone.

The questions were about whether the phone checked for an update, or the update got pushed out, that is what the question was about, and what I was stating. So if you are going off on another subject now, then I would need to know what you are talking about before I can comment.

The phone is queried by the file that gets downloaded, then once the phone says it is fit for the update, the phone asks the user if it is ok to update the phone. The user says yes, the phone then downloads the file. This is NOT the phone goes out and constantly checks for updates which is what "Polling" is and this is what I stated, not that there was no Query.

I don't know where why you feel you have to put me down, but you aren't even talking about what I am, and what you were talking about in your previous post.

If something is actually being pushed out to the phone, then no, nothing has to poll for an update.

For the 2.0.1 update, they said they would push the update out to users, which is why when people tried to click on "check if their is an update for my phone", they got nothing stating that "your phone is already up to date." and yes, I did try back with the update 2.0.1

Take a step back for a minute.

SW update is selected to go to a phone by whatever means they decide.

Phone has to be queried in some respect, because:

"Moving/deleting otacerts.zip (like most ROMs do) removes the certificates that allow a particular server or set of servers to be authorized to connect and push an update "

Unless the phone is queried, the updater has no choice other than to put the update.zip on all the phones selected, and for the non rooted who did it manually:

I never got a notification to update, nor did another update.zip appear on my SD (I removed after manually installing)

Hitting check for updates doesnt go out into the cloud, it looks on your SD root for the update.zip ...

All they would have to do is send out a test file, and ask the phone if it is up to date by checking the version number. Then it will ask if the user wants to update. There does not have to be any type of polling in the system to querry an update to the system.

I did get a notification asking me if I would like to update (I did not manually update).

"Moving/deleting otacerts.zip (like most ROMs do) removes the certificates that allow a particular server or set of servers to be authorized to connect and push an update "

Yes, because now the certification to see that it is a Verizon phone and a legitimate phone to use on the system are not there, now it doesn't need to update the phone. Or... it recognizes that the phone now is not the same ROM as a standard ROM on the phone, so it can't update the phone effectively without causing harm to the contents on the phone.
I didn't have to do anything in terms of pulling my SD card, or putting widgets back onto my phone after installing the pushed out update.

Where is my mention of no query?

Make sure that you have the USB driver installed on your computer. On the button with the ... locate the .sbf file and hit start. It takes several minutes and the phone will reboot when it is completed. You can watch the progress on the RSDLite.

Yeah visit the hacking help section.

Seriously, these "we've had 2.1 for ages" and "omg I don't care because I'm rooted" crap is getting old. If you look at the title, it specifically says "Official Release", and not "anyone with 2.1 already". Some of us would like an official release on our phone. I've already gone the rooted, 2.1, custom ROM route and just want a stock, up-to-date release. I went back to stock for 2.1.

This thread has definitely strayed enough. Verizon stated the first 1000 have gone out as planned, and now we're all waiting on the next batch.

Hopefully one of the first thousand is on here and kindly provides the update to us.

This is not a hacking help thread. Please use the appropriate forum section for those related help questions.

Thank you.

Just in general. I misquoted and for some reason I cannot edit my post.

Still checking VZWs and Moto's website for a download possibly!

Doubt it; the first thousand were testers (probably vzw or moto reps); so unless they "leak" it again. We will not see the batch until it is made clear that its a go.

According to moto/vzw (this is from chatting with a rep this morning) they will continue to distribute the updates as normal (through ota); it may change in the future, but this update will continue to go over the air.

Yeah VZW is still pushing the update as normal, but impatient people like myself want the update just as soon as everyone else. My boss got the 2.0.1 update before me and I used the Update.Zip to update my phone back then. I just want to do the same thing again.

Verizon tweeted...

Clarifying the Verizon Android 2.1 Update for Droid, http://www.phonescoop.com/news/item.php?n=5676

Old news, and has already been posted.

I realise that but it looked like we were devolving into an angry mob. Just throwing up Verizon's actual response.

Ya I tried, tried again - once a mob, always a mob. Let the pissing contest continue!:icon_ banana:
