When/if I can understand that command stuff, that's when I'll know I'm ready to root/install recovery.

Well, you don't have to understand it in order to root and install recovery -- but understanding it is a great thing in my opinion.

If you just want to root and install recovery you don't need any of "that command stuff" -- you just go do my "root any OS" procedure without deviation and you're good. The above was only for if you want to do something similar to, but a little different than, my "root any OS" procedure.

Myself and a few others have been wondering if there would be a full FRG22D OTA file, as we couldn't imagine Verizon would forever push out two OTA files to those phones not running Froyo, just to get them up to FRG22D.

I noticed a lot of people reporting the FRG22D OTA hitting their phones tonight, so I flashed back to 2.0.1 to see. As soon as I activated, it began downloading the FRG22D update, but the full file (77+mb), not just the patch. I thought some people might find it useful. This should eliminate the need for updating to FRG01B, and then using the 1.6mb FRG22D patch, as this should take you from any previous stock OS to FRG22D.

First, below is the link. Second are screenshots just to show what I was looking at and that it is not the FRG01B file.

Great work Jntdroid! All it takes is one person to be on the ball and grab these little gems when they come down and it benefits everybody. The build.prop is right and as you already know from installing it, it is indeed the FRG22D "master OTA".

I guess they are only pushing this one to activated phones because my DEV Droid has been sitting on ESE81 waiting for it for days. That makes sense, but before they actually did push the FRG01B update to my DEV Droid even though it has no service.

I didn't want to fool with flashing my "live" Droid back to ESE81 because I have it all happy the way I want it and I didn't want to have to bet on a nandroid restore. Thanks for "taking one for the team" and getting the file.

"Taking one for the team" might be a bit much, but no problem! I've been wanting this for awhile as well, so there were selfish motivations involved, too.

NC here. Just got FRG22D ota. runs great, seems quicker than FRGO1B. I was rooted on FRGO1b stock just enabled 2 files that rebuild boot back 2 stock when you reboot let ota FRG22D update

Wow, thanks for taking the time to test this theory and to post everything, this is pretty groundbreaking news...

So we do know for sure now that there are at least two forms that the actual OTA can arrive in from VZW's servers, just as it happened with FRG01B.

It would be interesting to know how this particular release compares to the Google FRG22 patch over FRG01B that metiCkOne rooted for us...

Very very good testing, thanks again!!!

I went ahead with this... loaded it up and forced the update... shows

Android version 2.2
Baseband version C_01.43.01P
Kernel version 2.6.32.9-g874c292 android-build@apa26 #1
Build number FRG22D

(please excuse any finger fumbles)

Fresh off the reboot, the icon redraw issue was still and issue, so I took the step someone else suggested about pulling the battery while it was still on and lo and behold, the icon redraw and the screen swipes from desktop to desktop are fast again!

However... when I hold the phone and tip it to landscape, the desktop will not reorient. If I load an app (browser, settings, whatever) and tip it to landscape, it reorients fine. If I put it in the cradle while it's displaying my desktop, it reorients fine... weird...

Worth mentioning, notice this OTA release of FRG22D also includes the baseband. That tells us a lot.

Very very interesting.
