OFFICIAL: 2.2/Froyo Issues and Support Thread [NON-ROOT]
- Thread starter cereal killer
- Start date
I cleared cache and data for the market app, then restarted, fixed it for me.
Seems anyone who DL'd a later froyo release ended up rooted ...
NBD.
I have only to flash the baseband upgrade now ...

Ok, I'm another noob, I have successfully installed froyo and want to install the radio and a kernel but when I try it always says "install aborted" what am I doing wrong? I put the update.zip file on the sd root and use sprecovery to install update from sd (depricated) HELP
I ended up reinstalling the entire froyo nandroid. Tried to narrow down the issue but couldn't. Works now though
ok got market working again. data wipe once again and it slowly started working
edit: market works....when it wants too. and system seems to lag a lot. astro is finiky. check all apps I want to reinstall...hit install and astro tells me i never selected anything.
Also anyone got any idea why my wall paper stays the same even after I did a complete data wipe and cache wipe? I do complete wipes of system then go to do fresh install of Froyo...and the wallpaper i had up from SS2.3 rom is still there...just none of the other items

when you renamed it did you rename it while on a windows computer? if so did you name it update or update.zip? should just be named update the zip is hidden from sight
Unrooted 2.1 to 2.2 questions
Hey all. It had been awhile since I have messed around with the phone and flashing ROMS and whatnot but I had to test out Froyo (AWESOME). I followed the unrooted 2.1 to 2.2 thread BUT I notice that I have the Superuser Permission app and I downloaded terminal emulator and typed in the su command and got no denial or anything...my question, AM I ROOTED? I hope so because that was too easy and I'd like to install one of the kernels with the wifi fix and overclock...which leads me to my next question, I did download and install one of these kernels through update.zip but the wifi is not working. Is it because I'm not truly rooted? Super confused and would like my wifi and overclockin' speeds! FAST IS GOOD :icon_ banana: Thanks!

Try getting another kernel. Perhaps your file is corrupted.
I didn't have this problem with maps. I feel like I must of done something wrong because I don't have an issue.

Ok, tried it again. double checked the file name - update.zip not update.zip.zip when I start to install it says:
install from sd card...
finding update package...
opening update package...
verifying update package...
E:update.zip install blocked
installation aborted
any ideas? I'm feeling really stupid right now

Make sure you hit the enable installation from update.zip first then it will work.

Thanks man, that was it. now I can do the other installs. dancedroid:icon_ banana:
Wow.. I just put the overclocked kernel, the 800 or something, and my Qaudrant test went from 839 to 662. The download from the first page post.. is it an overclocked kernel as well? If so, what clock is it at? It must be the 1000 or higher for my Moto droid to get 830 to 860 with it.
Couple questions if you guys know...
First, these overclocking kernels, are they going to reduce the life of my droid much like O/c a motherboard *might*? I am ok with getting a new phone in a years time, I am sure there will be much better/more powerful phones by then. The Incredible and such are nice already, but not nearly enough for me to upgrade to (nor can I for I think what, every 18 months, or is it every year on Verizon when you're eligible?).
Second, when the official 2.2 comes out, and supposedly I can update to it even with this Froyo on it... will I go back down to a 300 or so on my Moto droid? I ask this because, supposedly Froyo 2.2 will give a 2x to 5x increase in performance. Since I am using an overclocked kernel AND 2.2, I am only seeing about 2.5x. I would have thought Froyo alone would give me that boost, and the OC kernel even more so. But seeing both in action, makes me think that with the official Froyo, I wont see a huge increase in performance. In fairness, when 2.2 was announced, the side by side demos they showed were far from a 2x increase. The stock nexus was doing like 23fps, and the Froyo did like 33 or something. A 2x increase would have put it up to 45+, and a 5x almost 100fps, so I don't know how they claim 2x to 5x increase. Being a java developer I do understand how the JIT works and I know it takes a bit of running before it really boosts things. I thought it funny in their demo that it wasn't nearly a 2x increase that they were claiming, so I am curious how they came up with these numbers.
