Android 2.1 Update Rolls Out For Motorola Droid!

[iPirate]

these are the instructions the op provided from alldroid.

This is the OTA 2.1 upgrade for Moto Droid, it will reset your phone to non rooted status. Standby for someone to root.

Rename to update.zip and place in the root of /sdcard

Then reboot to recovery and install (note that you will lose root access, as we do not have a known root exploit for this yet once installed).

We do have a way to root it for those that do not install the update, but not a way to root once installed, yet.

Which means we should hold off for another day until something more legit comes out?

I don't know. Could just be the system clock on the computer it was compiled on was off. By like...almost a year.

so now we need a dev to put root binaries in it so we can update but remain rooted,like they did with the 2.0.1 update.zip

I'm going to be optimistic and say the system clock was wrong on the computer it was compiled on.
