Flash is in Beta. When it's a final release they'll put it on the market, but until then they don't want people complaining about how rough it still is.

got ya, understandable. and it is kinda rough
Yes, that's discussed on page 1.
At issue is how come not one other person has come forward saying they have received it OTA? Why did just 1 person get this?
cause its not legit why else:
i'm just saying if it were going official more than 1 person and Pete would have gotten this file already.........
More then likely if you used SPRecovery it won't install it. Either that or it will remove the root like this version did to somebody.
I'm one of them...
Hook, you're correct about what you think - I saw a couple of posts this morning where people said they had applied Pete's full update from the OP over a manually-installed FRG01B successfully. Since I haven't been real happy after the manual install I did last week, I decided to try it myself.
Sure enough, in spite of what CK and Pete said about the script not updating the manual FRG01B, it appears to have actually done so. All I did was d/l the zip file in the OP, stick it in the root of my SD card as update.zip, and do the Power+X thing to reboot and install it (with a cache wipe for good measure).
Why do I think it worked? Well, because:
1) It took about as long to extract and do its thing as it took me to smoke a cigarette, instead of simply aborting immediately as I thought it might. In other words, it behaved exactly like 2.01, 2.1 and 2.2 FRG01B had.
2) I'm browsing in ES Explorer and can see that /system and nearly all of its subdirectories are dated 7:34am today, which is precisely when I did the update. The are a few directories dated about half an hour later, which is when I rebooted again with a battery pull (also just for good measure).
3) I won't be able to play with wi-fi much until this evening, but for the few minutes I played with it this morning it showed full signal strength instead of the 0-bars that it had been showing last night (even though it behaved as if it had full strength, which should sound familiar to readers of these threads).
4) My 3G seems to be more stable today than it's been since the manual install. I realize this could be coincidence - I'm just sayin'...
5) The phone has just plain been feeling snappier and smoother all day. Could that be the placebo effect or wishful thinking? Certainly! Without scientific measurements I can only say touchy-feely things, but isn't that appropriate for a touch-screen phone?
And just to be perfectly clear: my Droid has been pure stock since the day I bought it in January, though I confess I'm sorely tempted to root while I wait for details on the Droid Pro and Gingerbread!
ummmm, from page 1.
From CK:
As a side note this new full update will not work once you use last weeks OTA update. The script specifically looks at what you currently have running.
However, I think in the thread I read that people have successfully manually installed this update. I could be wrong. Go with what CK says.

Okay, then how was it signed? I'm not disagreeing -- quite the contrary. I've been telling people because it's signed that's how you know. If someone's found a way to fake an official signature, we're in big effing trouble.

Signed so it works with the stock recovery.
There REALLY needs to be an edit button.
Flash will be available via download from the market in or around August 18th is the latest news on that.
His do we know it was signed? Because Pete Alfonso said so?
The more I think about it the more I think that something isn't right.
This thread is so confusing.
hook this file/build is not from Pete..this was pushed to JohnGalts phone via VZW.
Pete has NOTHING to do with this. Reread the thread at Android Forums
