OFFICIAL FRG22D OTA patch is here. DOWNLOAD NOW!

Yes, but it would be nice to know if this is a one-way street or not. People might want the freedom to change their minds.

It is important to note that no one has broken the locked recovery image for the Droid2 yet, and there is still some question about whether it can be broken.

We might now be able to put root on the Droid2, but without a custom recovery we can't save that work or reproduce it or prevent future OTAs from overwriting it.

I'm not saying don't load this, but seeing that a new Recovery is included with this patch, and that Recovery has been locked on the Droid2, I'd highly recommend waiting to load this patch until it has been analyzed by our pro ROM developer community. It won't take long for someone to speak up.

Has anyone tried to unroot, install, and re-root?

Why would we do that?

It's obvious its for stock Droids.

Ummm,

All updates are for stock droids…

And some are made to work without removing root. This is not one of those, which is why I tried it.

Since it's just a patch we thought maybe it would work. It didn't.

What error did you get Hook? I see nothing whatsoever in this package that will prevent you from installing it just because you're rooted.

Here are the things I see that will keep you from installing the package:

1. You are not running the stock FRG01B kernel
2. Your (huge list of) /system/app.*.odex and *.apk files aren't what was in FRG01B (you can have extras, but the ones in the list must match).
3. Your build fingerprint isn't one of the two I posted earler.
4. Your build.device or build.product is not "sholes".

That's it.

Well, it might install if you're rooted.

I just rooted the other day... half forgot I'd even done it. And I just updated to 22d. It installed fine. But I didn't have SPRecovery installed - just rooted and Busybox.

Now I appear to be rooted to EasyRoot/UniversalAndroot - but apps that require root won't work. And neither one will unroot me either.

<chuckle> Not one of my wiser moves. That's what I get for being impulsive.

True - sprecovery or clockwork recovery are actually what block the install, not just being rooted. And easyroot/universal won't work yet on 22D.

Then I'm not doing anything yet - my Droid works perfectly the way it is.

Easy fix. Do this procedure. Only hazard is that you've already got busybox on your phone and the update.zip in that procedure is going to put it on again -- maybe in the same place, maybe not. It will get your root working again (unless your root was really odd before which it might have been if you used one of those quickie rooters -- I have no idea where they put things) and you'll also have SPRecovery and the FRS will be disabled.

Good, that didn't take long...

From JNTDroid:

(Second Android Update 2.2 Froyo (FRG22 Rolling) Out Now)

It's official, and the bootloader is not locked (I just flashed sprecovery). It has a new feature built into it (like FRG01B) where it restores stock recovery upon reboot after flashing sprecovery (or cw), but that can be worked around.

Just downloaded and installed the patch... booted fine, just a bit longer than a normal boot. Opened market and did a search for flash and it came right up. Downloaded that and getting ready to play with the Moto Cache 1 SPR installation method later tonight after I'm sure the phone is as stable as it has been for the last few weeks.

yes, and just to double up from the other thread, here is motocache's thread talking about that (he figured that out) and how to get around it: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dro...artitions.html
