Android 2.1 Update Rolls Out For Motorola Droid!

[JCo352]

So if the update.zip does come up, would I use the same process as if I was rooting?

​

Wouldnt i have to have it unstalled in order to 'pull it'?
I tried forever ago to root my Drizzy and use some ROM (is that what its called?) or build of 2.1 and it was all too much for me. So I havent messed with anything like that since.
I'm sorry, ladies, but I can say it was a fast update, so I guess that was good...
Anything else ya'll wanna know, feel free to ask.
​

Yes, one question: why do you center your message?

LOLLL
I have a serious question: Have you noticed any dramatic improvements?

NOOOT really. Even as the standard user, I'm kinda underwhelmed. the gallery is cool. live walls are alright. pinch-zoom was never that big a deal for me... I'm looking forward to setting up my yahoo acct, though.lol

dezidez87...you can't just say you got it and not put up any proof bro! I call malarky! =] Well it's an hour after the update was "released" to several thousand people and I'm pretty sure if any member of this forum or any other droid forum got the update they would have posted by now, even if only to brag.

Sooo, I'm out. Night homies-

create new thread when update zip is released

The update.zip may be popping up shortly.......

If it does, can you please close this thread down and restart a new one with instructions how to upgrade. I already know how, but im guessing many here are fairly new to this.

We're still going strong with over 1100 viewing now! I was about to shut it down, but then cereal killer said one might be up shortly. . . Wonder if he's talking about Theron and Kellex?

The only thing between us and being able to download 2.1 directly from google are 8 little digits...

It works, it was the same process for the 2.0.1 update.

IF YOU GET PROMPTED FOR THE UPDATE

The following instructions will greatly help out the rest of the Droid community who does not want to wait over the next few days for the update to randomly arrive on their device. If you follow them, you will be able to capture the update file and spread the love with the rest of us!
1. You will first see this message appear on your phone if you are one of the testers:

-Press “Install Now.”
2. The update will then download in the background.
3. The following message will then appear:

-You may press the home button but DO NOT PRESS “Restart & Install!”
4. Plug your phone into your computer and mount your SD card. You should now be able to browse the contents of your SD card.
5. On the root of your SD card, you will see a file called “update.zip”. Copy that file to somewhere on your computer like the desktop. It should be about 15MB in size.
6. Finally, upload it to a file sharing site and post the link to it on this thread.
7. Now, you can now continue the update like normal. To get back to the “Restart and Install” menu as seen above, navigate to Setting> About Phone> System Updates.”
