~OFFICIAL: FRG01B FroYo Issues/Solutions Thread~

[ravdroid2002]

Hi all, first post here. So I downloaded the update, put it on the root of the phone, installed the update as I did 2.01 and 2.1, which I never I had a problem with. I booted up into stock recovery mode, installed the update from sdcard, it finished and said install complete. Rebooted and got stuck at the Motorola symbol, from there it just kept recycling the Moto symbol and would never actually boot up. Does anyone have any idea what could be at fault here ? I have since reverted back to 2.1 until I can figure something out, I should note that my camera has stopped working at all a few days ago. Pressing the physical camera key does nothing and opening it from the menu only causes it to force close. Is it possible the update issues are tied to my camera issues? Sorry for the long post, just really irked by this.

Folks have been reporting extraordinarily long initial boots...perhaps just let it sit for a while?

I let it try to boot up for a little over an hour, so I kind of figured that something was up with the phone or something.

I am getting file not found while trying flash 10.1 in market.

I'm a new member here. I just installed this on my non-rooted or modified Droid and it works perfect! Like others, I'm also having problems with Flash, but as someone said in this thread, it's being worked on. I have not tried the beta version yet as the link said it was for the Nexus One.

And I'll reiterate what has already been said: No wi-fi tether. In the settings, there is a place for USB tether, but once you hook-up your computer and check that box, it only redirects you to the Verizon website where it tells you to subscribe to their tethering package.

However, I was using PDANet before for tethering and it works great in 2.2 just as it did in 2.1. I was worried somehow they would have disabled it.

I'm on CyanogenMod 6 RC2.

What is the quickest way to get the official Verizon Froyo ROM installed?

Do I simply do a Titanium backup and then install update.zip from ROM Manager? Restore apps after 2.2 update?

ROM Manager only lists 2.0.1 in the stock images section. I do not want to go back to 2.0.1, then have to do 2.1 update and then 2.2 update.

What is the best way to do this?

Has anyone tried Pandora to see if the bug was fixed with bad quality AAC?

Just my report:

I downloaded the update.zip and went through the instructions and put it on my phone. Install went smoothly, and I re-booted my phone. As others have said, the reboot takes awhile, but it got there eventually.. I had little trouble getting Flash to work. Downloaded the APK file as well as the Adobe Showcase from the Market. It all seems to be working so far.

Some thoughts I would like to point out.
-The entire process from downloading the update, to installing, to re-booting the phone took about 15 mins in all. Very simple, very straightforward.
-Froyo is fantastic so far. Phone is running faster and smoother than on 2.1. I'm debating going back to LauncherPro, as I had grown accustomed to it and like the features.
-Flash works, more or less. It's running slow right now on Dolphin Browser. Kinda chugs along during videos. But I'm hoping I just need to do another reboot and that should be solved. Maybe when the official Flash update hits Market, it will solve any issues.
-I like the new car and home docking screens. The home dock doesn't seem to hang up at all like it used to occasionally do.
-The only thing I'm not too wild on is the Messaging layout. I don't really care for how it displays the person's icon next to every text sent or received. Maybe I can change the settings, I honestly haven't looked yet.
-Tethering seems to work fine with my 3rd party app. It was worth the few bucks I paid, so even if Motorola/Verizon said no tethering on Froyo, it's of no concern to me personally.

Card, what app are you using to tether? I don't mind paying. Heck, I would pay Verizon their fee if they provided a way to do so.

Thanks,
