ALERT! 2.2 FroYo Circus continues...FRG01B is Official get it here.

[marcwinnj]

I had updated to 2.2 using one of the files here before the official version went out over the air. The phone started acting up so i decided to wipe it and restore the stock 2.1 rom and then let the OT updtae take place. All went well with the wipe and download of the 2.2. update but when it goes to install it says the update is not on the SD card. I checked with Astro and there are no large files on the SD card. I have tried the wipe and redownloaded a few times and same. Right now I downloaded the update and did not choose to install it and same thing, there is no update file on the SD card. I have even searched the phone by size and cant find a 77MB file.

The download says it was successful and it verified. Any advice on where the OTA file is stored or where I can find the final final rom to do a manual install.

Thx

When you say wipe, do you mean a factory reset? Are you comfortable wiping your phone completely clean? If so, flashing the FRG22D SBF file might be your best bet to just get it the hang over with, but your phone will be set back to OOTB status if you do that, just with the most recent firmware.

I'm assuming you're not rooted, of course, and when you reboot into recovery you get the stock recovery triangle-with-an-!-in-it.

I wanted to get rid of the update warning.
I understood that if I was rooted with SP Recovery it would stop the update after the automatic reboot.
I went to Settings>About Phone>System Updates and selected download.
It did the download and then just sits there. Isn't it suppossed to automatically reboot?
After 5 minutes I manually restarted but nothing happened, just a normal restart.

What I am running is in my sig...

So, you're running a 2.1-based ROM. That would explain the update warning. The latest version is either .4 or .5 (Pete started over again with his naming scheme and I haven't been paying too much attention to version numbers after that.) and I know with .4 you had to install a patch to get it to stop trying to download FRG22D (most current FroYo build) every few days.

So should I just use ROM Manager to gp to the rooted/stock image named "Verizon Droid 2.2 FRG01B". This should allow me to cancel the update notfication and have a 2.2 based system and still use free WiFi Tether.

Any 2.2 ROM will run the WiFi tethering app from my signature, though in the worst case scenario you'll need a different kernel. There are enough of those you should be able to find one that works fine for you.

Hi,

You must have had many posts like this.

I have a few questions, from which the answers i couldn't get out of the original post.

I have a Samsung Galaxy s GT-I9000
Baseband I9000 XXJM2
Firmware 2.1
kernel: 2.6.29 Root@SE-S603 #2

I rooted the phone and did a oneclicklagfix v2 on it.

Is "FRG01b" the update android 2.2 for a rooted phone?

And, is it compatible with my phone?


TY

[furbearingmammal]

Droid 1 only, Dimitri. There is no official 2.2 update for the Galaxy. You will have to put a custom ROM on to get FroYo.
