Motorola Droid Maintenance Release Prelude to Android 2.1

[djstarion]

Isn't sholes a rooting file or something like that? I have no idea what rooting is but I know I've seen the word sholes associated with rooting related threads.

Sholes is one of the other Droid blogs. Usually posts recovery images and what not.

yup i did a standard install from the recovery menu, still ESD56 like everyone else is reporting.

FYI Got the OTA on this past Monday and my build is ESD56!

Interesting. Perhaps 2.1 is ESD59?

Well i took the bait, downloaded and installed it. Like everyone else that got the OTA i see no difference. No issues here.

Did u install it properly? like from the recovery menu? And is ur build # still ESD56?

The files in update.zip all have modification dates of 2009-05-04 and build.prop contains the following info. Look at Build ID and Version release and build date. I think you might have installed an early 2.0.1 build instead of the update we're waiting for:

ro.build.id=ESD56
ro.build.display.id=ESD56
ro.build.version.incremental=20996
ro.build.version.sdk=6
ro.build.version.codename=REL
ro.build.version.release=2.0.1
ro.build.date=Wed Nov 25 17:42:57 PST 2009
ro.build.date.utc=1259199777
ro.build.type=user
ro.build.user=android-build
ro.build.host=android-test-10.mtv.corp.google.com
ro.build.tags=test-keys
ro.product.model=Droid
ro.product.brand=verizon
ro.product.name=voles
ro.product.device=sholes
ro.product.board=sholes
ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi
ro.product.manufacturer=Motorola
ro.product.locale.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=US
ro.wifi.channels=
ro.board.platform=omap3
# ro.build.product is obsolete; use ro.product.device
ro.build.product=sholes
# Do not try to parse ro.build.description or .fingerprint
ro.build.description=voles-user 2.0.1 ESD56 20996 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.0.1/ESD56/20996:user/release-keys

It would be nice if someone who is getting the update could figure out how to share it and view it to see if it is just a refresh of 2.0.1 or if it has anything newer in it.

 

[pylesw]

I retract what I said about build.prop. Compared it to what's on my phone and the info is the same. Still odd that the update.zip would have file modifications all from May, 2009. Oh dwell....

 

[hookbill]

Maybe some phones are prepaired and others arn't.. Maybe that's why you're getting these updates.

Same thing I see with that Update file, weird!

Anyone with VZW experience (Miami, perhaps) know if the order we get this "phase 1" patch in correlates to the order that we'll get the final 2.1 update? In other words, if we were one of the first wave for this update, does that mean we'll be in the first wave for full 2.1 release?

Can anyone (moderator preferably) confirm that the 61.4MB download from sholes is indeed the exact contents of the pre-update being released to everyone else OTA?
