Froyo Leak vs Offical OTA

xjcohenx · September 3rd, 2010, 10:22 PM

Reading over some threads I noticed that some people have said they've already gotten the official OTA froyo update. I was wondering if there is any difference between the leak and the official update.

xjcohenx · September 3rd, 2010, 10:24 PM

and to add, im asking because i have the froyo leak on my phone and was wondering if there was a point in reverting back to 2.1 for the official update

Vihzel · September 3rd, 2010, 10:41 PM

Really? Hmm... I haven't seen anyone getting the official 2.2 update. There's nothing that I can find abuzz amongst the tech news sites.

t0adman · September 3rd, 2010, 10:56 PM

No OTA on mine.

ECFfighter7232 · September 3rd, 2010, 11:04 PM

whoever said they were on the OTA froyo was full of it lol

deadinside · September 3rd, 2010, 11:07 PM

Yeah, those people are pulling others legs. Probably trying to induce more freaking out from those who are mad that is only the 3rd and still no OTA.

yeah totally agree, they should post pics or something if they want to make those claims

Careful. Pics aren't proof. Video evidence is much better. You can't photoshop a video clip.

There is no official OTA. There is a leaked update, however. Motorola obtained an official cease and desist order on it and said that anyone who has it will not be able to update to the official ota.

As I understand it, the leaked rom has bugs and problems. My advice would be to wait. It'll come within the month, imo. (Not official).

Anyone see this? Follow this thread for news about Android 2.2 for DroidX

It appears you need to create an account to sign up tho.

These jokers on the Motorola forum are having more problems with 2.1.1 than I am having with the leaked Froyo. Actually I haven't really had any problems other than it needing a reboot every couple of days to reinitialize the SD Card.

Were these people who said they got the official OTA Froyo update talking about on thier Droid X, or a different handset? Froyo just rolled out OTA for the Droid Incredible, are you getting handsets confused maybe? Because it's not out for the Droid X yet.

I saw the thread he's referring to. It was one of those "geez I can't wait for froyo" threads and a couple of wise guys tried to stir things up by claiming they already had OTA. Nothing to get excited about. If it was out, we'd know about it.

What planet did you come from? The operating system is much more than an apk, it is a rom that gets flashed.

danlaw777 · September 5th, 2010, 10:08 AM

no different then updating from 2.0 to 2.1 a few months back......

OMG I'm gonna go ahead and suggest that you S&D all posting. First off the X hasn't been out a few months its hasn't even been out two months yet. Second, The X never had 2.0. 2.0 was the OS the original droid shipped with back in 09 when it was launched. The DX shipped with 2.1.

right, but the D1 was basically the same animal, and all signs show us leading to the same point.....

like i said, i dont see much difference as to how i went from 2.0 to 2.1 and the D1 then the way i went from 2.1 to 2.2 on the DX

and as far as what you would "recommend" me to do....cease is spelled with a "C"

get over yourself

jreed2560 · September 5th, 2010, 01:00 PM

Explain to me how the D1 and the x are basically the same animal. Then we can work towards spelling ok.

Well on that note towards forwards and backwards aren't words. Look it up. No need to stoop to grammar insults here.

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck it must be a duck.

Alright guys, break it up!

akita · September 5th, 2010, 03:22 PM

Hai guyz, im running 4.3 Miami Cheesecake with Teleportation apk. Oh it was OTA and I got the heads up from a friend of a friend who works at Verizon and their Dad delivered the birth of their aunt. Thank god I waited and didn't install the leak! I'd post a screenshot but the camera is currently stuck in TeleportationDock mode. Does anybody know how to revert back to 2.1?

rjoudrey · September 5th, 2010, 03:31 PM

This thread has completely gone to sh*t.

jreed2560 · September 5th, 2010, 03:47 PM

Yeah im sorry to have contributed to its recent demise.

R. Kamidees · September 5th, 2010, 07:51 PM

I'm curious to hear from the serious hackers. How difficult would it be to alter the official OTA to allow those of us who updated with the leaked 2.2 to update again? It seems to me that when Motorola says "no update for you," they mean we won't be able to run the official update pushed to our phones. I never thought I was going to be able to do that anyway. Of course I get jittery about it and want to start prepping for a 2.1 downgrade, but then I start to recall the sorts of miracles that Birdman, P3droid, et al have been able to pull off, and I'm thinking that once Moto/Verizon start pushing the real update, it won't be long before those of us who installed the leak will have a working update.zip as well.

Just a thought.

I'm not sure how that really applies to this situation. In this case it was a newer member correcting my grammar. Not that I care. My only problem is with people not fully comprehending what they are talking about.
