Android 2.1 Update Rolls Out For Motorola Droid!

[crazy51guy]

Thanks for posting pics....this actually looks real now. This guy on droid life speaks truth! The instructions are wrong b/c verizon changed the process so that the update wouldn't be put out too quickly...

"I work for Verizon Wireless. I'm guessing they somehow fixed the update it so you couldn't get it off the card. After all they have held this update up many times, and they're running an incredibly slow update process, so to me that means they have some concerns about issues with the update process and want to have a 24 hour period to see if they get any complaints of bricked phones. With those kinds of concerns I'm sure they'd do anything to keep it from getting out en masse on the internet"

In that case, someone who has the prompt, connect to wifi, run a packet sniffer, and generously give us that URL that's going to your Droid

Damn, 12:36am here. Guess I'm not one of the lucky ones to get it in that first wave. Oh well,

You will get it eventually. It will start being released again on April 1st.

The only thing I don't get is WHY we have to put up with crap like this; when our friends with the Milestone can simply use a PC app to update their phones? We should have a non-OTA method, as well.

Instructions to grab the file are not correct. That's 2 people now reporting that they are not seeing the second "Restart and Install" screen and instead going straight to boot.

BINGO. It just went str8 to work after the 1st question.lol
And One thing I notice is that my gmail stopped giving me audible notifications... I'm getting messages of responses here that I didnt know I had unless I check. hmm

Do you have the sdk installed? Can you plug your phone in and run:

adb pull /system system

You don't really want a detailed description, do you?:icon_eek:

The update definitely disappears after installation right?

Let's say it doesnt, any idea where it would be hiding?

Somewhere in the recovery

I just thought of another way to kinda prove it, just for the unbelievers...
What do you notice?
Blue bars on the left = Yahoo mail.
Ok I'm gonna go snack.
Again sorry to anyone I've disappointed :icon_ nono2:

But it is almost certainly gone.
