Unless you have issues with frg22 you do not need this update. Want is something else entirely.

Ok, need help. I had my wife's phone rooted with the original FROYO FRF84 (or whatever it was). No custom roms or anything, and a P3 kernel. I went to install this update, and only wiped the cache. It installed, and upon reboot I get a boot loop at the eye. If I try to hold down X while booting, now I get an exclamation point in a triangle. Ideas? Help! Thanks

This update will flash the recovery image and put on the stock recovery image back if you were running sprecovery or clockworkmod recovery. Someone gave the instructions on how to get back into recovery after this update a few pages back.

Search for RSD Lite and SPR.sbf. Once you flash SPRecovery back onto the phone, search out how to root 2.1. Follow those same steps on 2.2 (Push Busybox and Superuser apks and a couple lines of text you type into terminal or sdk tools.

somebody needs to add instructions for rooting, unrooting, flashing, all that, to the OP

been hearing that people performing factory resets on this build will solve bugs if one is experiencing them.

Soooo, i am late to the party. what with being content on LiMod. You guys are wanting the official release and unrooting, then rooting, etc.
Are people just wanting a stock-rommed phone?
just curious.
thanks

And on the 7th reset you get Gingerbread ...

A lot of people want to root their phones themselves and for some reason seem to think they need or are somehow forced to update to this before they move on to something else after they root. Some people want a rooted stock ROM and want to do it themselves with Easy Root so they can WiFi tether. The majority just want some FroYo goodness on their phones and don't care about anything else.

Now, I have to ask -- was your phone really bipolar? Is that why it's on lithium?

Thanks for the help. New install up and running

You people are all a bad, bad influence. Shame on you all, touting the fun and excitement of rooting, custom ROMs and installing grey-market updates. You have caused a tech-paranoid, law-abiding (and kinda handsome!) member of the forum to throw caution to the wind and start doing bad things to his phone that VZW would not approve of. It doesn't matter that his phone is faster now, has lots of cool new features and he no longer has "Froyo Envy". Shame on him and shame on you guys, especially thehirsches, who posted the simplest, safest way to get the Droid of his dreams.

Did anyone here, or has anyone confirmed anyone else has received the official live OTA yesterday or today? If so, was it FRG01B?

Getting an error. Invalid or deleted file.

I was getting that error, and it was because I renamed the update file "update.zip" instead of just "update" before I moved it. This was mentioned a bit earlier in the thread. I was in Windows Vista, and I had "View Extensions" turned off in the file explorer settings, so I was adding an extra ".zip" to the filename before I copied to my SD card.

When I finally got it to work, I still got an error message above the update progress, but it appears it was unrelated to the update itself.

Can someone explain the "battery pull" procedure? I know it sounds self explanatory but do I remove the battery while the phone is still on or after I power down?
