Gingerbread OTA question

[Feudalplague]

ive seen alot of people saying that their getting it and i realize that its being released in waves i know that much. but im curious i have a droid 2 i have kept unrooted because knowing how i go through phones i dont need to kill the warranty. but moot point. my phone has never been rooted and im wondering if i just need to wait for the OTA update to be sent to me or if i have to do that system reboot thing people are talking about

Have you tried going to Settings, scroll all the way down to About Phone, and touch System Updates at the top of the list?
Do this preferrably when connected to WiFi, as it is a big download.

no im checking periodically and it just says my device is up to date... but ive never done anythign that would warrant me to have to go do a full reset

You can download the given file, rename it to update.zip, and flash it via stock Recovery (hold 'X', then press the magnifying glass when you receive the 'triangle').

Well, that's exactly why your thread is misleading. In your first post, you stated you had a Droid 2. Now, you're saying you have a Droid 2 Global. They are not the same phone. GB has not been released for the D2G.

Haha sorry most people didnt tell me it was just for droid 2 not global. They should hurry up with global... lol

So I am currently on the leaked version of GB and running ZombieStomped. Can I do a nandroid, run this update, re-root, and reinstall my nandroid?

And I've read that I can't re-root using Z4, so I would have to use the D3 method...any issues with that?

 

[dodgerblue]

D3 One Click works fine. Just make sure that you have all the stock idiocy, i.e. Blockbuster, Amazon, etc still on the phone before you attempt the update. SBF if necessary.

Thanks for the quick reply! I was going to SBF, but I need to make sure that I would be able to re-root and reinstall my backup...Thanks again for your help!
Just waiting for my phone to charge to 100%
