Soooooo, what would happen when you receive an actual update? If you ignore it, would it beep every 30 min or so?

What an eventful day this has been for the Droid. First its rooted and now the update file is out there for us to install.

Update is done. This is awesome. A couple things that bother me are the stupid google search widget isn't glued to the top anymore and tehre still aren't any more home screens lol

The link above is to the ACTUAL update downloaded when your phone tells you its time for the update to be applied.

It is DIRECTLY from Google.

You download that, rename it to update.zip and place it on the root of your SD card. Then go into recovery mode (X+Power, Camera + Volume Up) and apply update.zip from the recovery menu.

Takes 3-4 minutes to boot and BAM 2.0.1 instantly.

OK... now you've got my attention!.......
You have to hit all 4 of those functions at once?

No, you need to first copy the file to your sd card, then turn off your phone

while turning on, hold X. You'll get to a screen where there is a hazard sign and exclamation point. From there you need to hold volume up and camera until you get to a screen that has your options.

Hmm for some reason when i do this , it says Installation Failed :[

Use this code to download this. Copy it to your base SD card directory and reboot with X and etc.

Also, for those that don't have QR code scanners, I've attached the update.

Update didn't attach to previous post because the update is 10.2 mb and the limit is 9. something, by the way, moderation staff, sorry for the excess amount of posts, I'm excited

 

[MInkyboi]

Did the update from the file....it went great!! Now running 2.0.1!!

 

[Xerozix]

Zodduska, where the flip did you get that backround?

 

[MInkyboi]

thanks for the files guys! its great

btw this topic is moving FAST!

 

[txskeets]

Cant help but wonder if somewhere in this world, someone at Verizon is suddenly wondering how/why so many people now have the 2.0.1 update.

Curious as to what happens when they attemp to "push" the update to those of us who have already installed it manually?
