ALERT! Droid 2 getting update tonight.

[random190user44]

So this might be gingerbread. cause there were rumors running around that a major release would be 2.3? if not then i am in love with google for pushing out this and then gingerbread. dancedroid

Google doesn't make updates specifically for certain phone models, as far as im aware. They only do that with the Nexus One I think. Google develops and releases new versions of the Android OS, but that applies to all/most phones. Motorola made this update, it's not Gingerbread.

I am rooted, but not running a rom just stock with root. Does the root block the OTA?

no, but when you install the update you will lose root access

Thanks for the heads up Cereal.
I am too rooted, but have not received any updates for my phone? I also checked manually in system updates, and it says im up to date (2.2.20) or something like that.

So how would I go about the update?!

Thanks

Yes you have to re run the exploit and set permissions on the file
