****Official FroYo Rollout Thread-Version2!****

[alphawave7]

We are now getting reports FroYo is finally rolling OTA! This, after getting leaks of the patch update (Version 1 thread),
followed by leaks of a 'full' update...we can breathe a collective sigh of relief that the genuine article is now making its way to Droids OTA. Got it yet? If so, post where you are located.

Some FAQ answers from the Issues/Solutions thread: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dro...ns-thread.html


A few FAQ answers: (If you think an important item should be mentioned here, pm a mod/smod!)

1) Flash is NOT included..it is in the Market, but currently invisible to Droid FroYo...Google should fix this issue soon.
2) Some Launchers (eg. Helix) may force-close (FC), so we await their dev's to make a compatible update. LauncherPro was my resolution on Nexus, haven't revisited Helix since.
3) Swype beta may not work/FC too, so delete JUST THE BETA, NOT THE INSTALLER, and re-download Swype beta...users report success on the re-install. (Must enable 'unknown sources in Settings).
4) Flash .apk can be downloaded from alternate sources, like http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HO8UZSDW , please report back your results in this thread. UPDATE! New Flash file appears to be more recent version: http://www.mediafire.com/?tn7q3335ltf5aag
5) Reports are that the initial boot time is LONG....be patient, FroYo won't melt!
6) WiFi tethering/HotSpot has been removed by VZN from this build. USB tethering requires VZN plan update ($15?) unless alternate Market options used (EasyTether,PDANet) or rooted.
7) Market issues are unfortunately standard procedure..if an app cannot be found on the Market, try clearing Market cache in Applications, or contact the app dev, and they will hopefully (quickly) update their apps.
8) Some users are reporting sluggish performance after the update. This could be caused by a myriad of factors, but background syncing may be the cause (look for data transmission indication), so be patient and wait a day to see if performance improves by itself. Some users suggest a battery pull, which may appear to improve performance, but could also stall the proper syncing of data (I had a ton of pics on Picasa which made my Nexus seem sluggish after the FroYo update..once they were sync'd up, I was snappy again).


Apollos40 got the OTA: "My phone says:

Android Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: c_01.43.01P
Kernal Version: 2.6.32.9-g103d848
android-build@apa26 #1
Build Number FRG01B"

which appears to be the same info in last weeks leaked update mentioned in the 'Circus' thread, so those who simply cannot wait for the OTA, the manual update is here:

xkape says:" You running SP Recovery? If so just select "install" for the system update. It will give you a message about the phone rebooting with a 10 sec countdown. The phone will reboot and once the phone comes back up, it will go into SP Recovery and do all the things to start installing except.. it won't. It will say something like "Process Blocked". Then select reboot phone and you're done. Update goes away and the phone didn't change."

"my stock quadrant score was an 854" (thanks Detonation)

I got my update this A.M.(8/11). I'm in Iron Mountain Michigan. The update didn't seem to take too long, I think in all my phone was down for a total of 3 minutes.

ok couple questions. I manually updated my mom's phone when the leak came out when the first OTA got rolling. Will I need to do anything to her phone in order t keep it upated to where it should be? Also I recently rooted and am happy and have no plans of pushing my OTA update. Again I manually updated mine when the first one came out, then rooted from there. Will I get an OTA? If so how do i decline it to stay rooted with my rom?

And what is the final number 01b or 22?

[plumcrazy]

copy/paste in emails ?

North Jersey. Got it this morning around 6am.
Same info as above.
I downloaded the manual update to my computer and waiting until

Only took 5 minutes
