ok, im tired of waiting for the ota, i want to update but i dont know how to get the file on my phone, i downloaded it onto my computer but the file isnt named update.zip.

can someone tell me step by step how to do this, please?

1) Change the name to update.zip.
2) Connect your computer to your phone.
3) Press the USB on the notification and select "Mount"
4) Put it on your sd card. Not in any particular folder, just on to the card.
5) Turn your phone off.
6) Boot into recovery (Hold Power + X).
7) Wait for a triangle with exclamation point to appear and release Power and X.
8) Hit the volume up and camera button (half-way down) at the same time.
9) Using the D-Pad select “apply update.zip” and press in the gold button on the D-Pad.
10) Your phone will now run the update.
11) When it finishes, use th D-Pad to select reboot phone.
12) Your phone will reboot with Android 2.2.

I DID IT! i manualy installed the update! so far it looks like it works, i am going to play with it for awhile, i know installing software is no big deal for you guys, but for a incompetant techno person this is a big accomplishment for me! thanks for the help guys!

can we download this file right to our sd card instead of the computer?

MRex21 and BlackRose I like you guys...it was painless wasn't it!. Now make it YOUR DROID
Speaking of my droid I've gone as far as my nostrils with this thing with root, overclock, this and that. Now time to put on the scuba gear and go all-in. What does any feel about this?

Nope. You need to mount the Droid and install it on hour SD card after you rename the file.

You should...it would go to your download folder I believe. You will still have to have a file manager to rename to update.zip and move it to the root of the SDcard (no folder) whether you use your PC and connect to your droid or get a file manager such as ASTRO from the market.
