OFFICIAL FRG22D OTA patch is here. DOWNLOAD NOW!

-- And...

This OP's patch version of FRG22D will overwrite custom recovery programs with the stock recovery program unless that functionality is subverted. Those instructions also are in this thread back a few pages.

Reading through this thread is frustrating because there is a lot of misinformation... I mean, in what scenario will the FRG22D patch overwrite your custom recovery program? SPRecovery and CM will block the patch. Are there even any custom recovery programs that don't block updates like this? The fact is, if you have a custom recovery program you cannot install this patch.
 
How do you make a nandroid backup of an unrooted phone? Is that even possible?

Depends on your version of root -- some people say any phone, no matter what else has been done to it, is not rooted without root access in the OS. Most people say that having a custom recovery image is more rooted than root access, and I subscribe that the theory of Root for a variety of reasons. Root access is root, but root is not root access.

Solve for root. Show your work. First correct answer gets a cookie.

Correct. However, this was just theory until Hookbill tested it and proved otherwise. Sometimes information available to the community as a whole changes radically inside an hour, and some people (I've been caught in this) are still going on the old information.

I am sure this has been answered a lot, but if my Droid is rooted, will this patch still get to me ota, or do I need to manually install?

Thanks
 
So has anyone received the live OTA from Verizon since Urklegrue reported in early yesterday morning?

Hey I'd like to know when the 22D OTA is actually gonna start! Lol :)

Morning, droidians! So did anyone get the ota overnight? Anyone? Bueller?

I did. I posted it on the last page. Here is another screenshot. Still not sure what the proper course of action should be.

I have an OTA update sitting on my phone this morning. Have stock rooted FRG01B with SBRecovery. What should I do? If I let it install it will get rid of root, correct? Or is it automatically blocked?

All together now...

"How Rooted Are You?"
Sorry for the delay but duty called.

If you have a custom recovery image this update is out for you -- neither one will install it. If you are running a one-click root and don't have a custom recovery image you'll get it but you'll lose root.

And yes, it has been answered. :)
