OFFICIAL FRG22D OTA patch is here. DOWNLOAD NOW!

So, let me get this straight. I get blasted and mocked before the official patch rolls out for saying they were going to do this, and now they're doing it? Wow. I guess I need to get out from inside this tinfoil bunker and out from under this tinfoil hat I'm wearing and realize people don't do that in the real world.

 

WTF is VZW trying to do with the D1.

 

You still the man Mammal!!!

 

this may break Universal Androot. sorry if someone already posted this

 

I can confirm this. Was on FRG01B last night, rooted and happy. Today I installed the update and UA was unable to root. I am now going to wipe and roll back to see if I can get root back.

 

Huge thanks, Moto! That was the next step, and you saved me some time tracking down that thread and making sure I had the right one.

I should also mention that it worked like a charm. I guess now I need to go the rest of the way and learn what to do beyond just SetCPU and tethering, which is all I had done previously.

Into the deep end. Time to learn to swim! Thanks again!

 

Woops. My bad. This update does not have an updated bootloader. I was looking at the updater-script out of the FRG01B OTA. This one just updates the boot image and the recovery image, but not the bootloader.

The update will also break your "su" on the phone if you're rooted because it changes the permissions on everything in /system/bin to 0755. The su file needs to be 6755 to work.

I haven't had a chance to go through it extensively, but it doesn't replace the bootloader and everything it does replace can get put back with a nandroid restore, so it's fairly harmless (which is not to say it won't mess anything up).

 

Maybe too late to stop you but that's definitely the hard way.

 

Well rolling back doesn't appear to be an option as it keeps failing. So what's the next step? I'm guessing I need to install SuperRecovery again, go back to 2.0.1 and update from there.

wish me luck

 

Motorola Droid
Android Versions 2.2
Baseband Version C_01.43.01P
Kernal Version: 2.6.32.9-g874c292 android-build@apa26 #1
Build Number FRG22D

Stock Droid, unrooted. Flash Player 10.1 showed up in market and installed and working.

Did notice that it also did a little update on the default email client where it prompted me about re-affirming security with an Exchange server and warning me that the Exchange server can remotely erase e-mail on the droid (For the exchange side).

 

Moto...

Should I uninstall or remove busybox before using your file that contains busy box? Have you had a chance to see if it overwrites an exising busybox or just adds another copy?

 

This was awesome. Great instructions.
