awesome..mine is rebooting after loading the new image. Worked like a charm!

Ickselglic

Worked just fine for me.

CatsTide

in what folder on the sd do we put the zip?

Tabs

This is really why open source rocks - can you imagine the hysteria that'd be going on at Apple if users did this sort of thing to get an iPhone update early?

mazz0310

Just to the root of the SD

Haha agreed, this is why I couldn't wait to get an android.

I did it! Right now I'm just staring at the robotic eye. I'm a little concerned...

CatsTide

hmm...not working for me then

Redflea

Loading it now...the time from pressing vol+ and camera to the list of options appearing took a while, or I wasn't pressing it right. I had to do it a number of times.

installing the update now.

Rebooting now...(scary music in background)

Motorola logo appears...

Oh NO!!


It worked.

2.01 verified.

Is it just me or is the Droid eye different after the update?

First boot took a lot longer than a normal boot...must be doing something as a part of the first start after update? I don't remember anyone else reporting that...it sat on the Droid eye for quite a while.

I'm not seeing any impressive performance improvement in scrolling the home screen (using the stock home screen or Home++). If I didn't know the phone was updated I wouldn't notice any difference.

The updated look of the Power widget is quite nice.

Glad I didn't wait up for this...would have been disappointed.

iamkewl

It took mine 2-3 minutes to boot up. I was at the eye for quite a while

Just hoping:

A. There are no issues with this update (apps compatibilty and such)
B: In case there is, we can download 2.0 as a zip to be reapplied in case this update is a problem.

I highly doubt there will be any issues. Just thinking.

Thanks OP for the instructions and DL link!

-Myk-

after updating is it cool to delete the update.zip from the sd card?

dano272

finally! - a use for the D-pad

droidmoto

Can't seem to get that recovery menu to pop up. I get the recovery screen, but pressing the volume up button and the camera button does nothing.

RobStemen

Pulled the battery and... SHE WORKS! IT'S ALIVE! Now it's time... To play... *mwahaha*

iamkewl

make sure to press them at the exact same time

alostpacket

Confirmed working here too, props to iamkewl for the lols and instructions

syntrix

Yup it takes a little while, I'm going to edit my first/topic post about that!

Fadelight

I can get it into recovery mode... but pressing the vol+ and camera button doesn't do anything for me. No menu.



Ninja edit: Nevermind... you don't press them at the same time. You press them in sequence. Got it now.

success!!..same question as above i could delete the update file now right?

ajmuni

syntrix

edited the first post to reflect some "wait" changes, etc...

syntrix

This is what I did, I updated the first post about this

Good luck everyone, let us know how it's going!

iamkewl

if you want to..sure ya can!

Redflea

Thanks...your instructions were what tipped me over the bar to trying this - simple and clear.

I also wonder about the Volume+/Camera combo...maybe it is one then the other, and that's why it took me so long to make it work?

Campah

Ok, I paraphrased my error the first time. Here's the entire output.

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command

When I did the update, I had to press and hold volume up first, then push camera. Worked easier than syncronized pressing. All good on the homefront. Thanks for the info all.

shadowdude777

Just did it and I can confirm that it works flawlessly. I always wondered what the "apply sdcard:update.zip" option was for in the recovery menu...

Anyway, the lock screen is prettier now (looks more "Droid"-ish, I guess? Can't describe it, though I wish they utilized all that blank space a little better). Also, the home screen feels a little less laggy, though still laggy. They need to fix that.

Just a few questions: 1) Will the factory reset option through the menu get us back to 2.0 or are we on 2.0.1 for good (unless we reset through the recovery menu?)?
2) What happens when Google releases the (silent?) 2.0.1 update?

Thrilla98

Im getting an error right after the update starts to load....it says theres not a valid signiture? anyone have this problem?

Redflea

The camera is MUCH faster for me...about 3s between shots, sometimes less. Before it was more like 5-6s at least. So that is much better.

No idea about quality yet, but the speed is a welcome improvement.

CatsTide

E:can't open/cache/recovery/command

Redflea

I believe I remember that message...then the update proceeds normally...

Thrilla98

ok guess ill let it hang out for a bit and see what happens. Thanks.

johnatthebar

well, I def had some scary moment but it seems to be okay now. it has been syncing for some time though and weatherbug may or may not like it.

anyone have to reset their gallery shortcut?

Worked perfect following directions in main post. Thanks.

Redflea

The reset only removes data, so you should stay at 2.01.

The 2.01 invite probably will skip our phones, if there is a check for current version...there must be something like that, or they'd keep offering the update over and over to everyone...I can't believe they'd monitor every single EMEID of all the phones in a database and track update status.

Be interesting to see, though, I wondered the same thing. If you do get offered the update you can just accept it - the patches will either be re-done, or more likely they will be skipped and nothing will happen.

syntrix

I'm seeing this too! OMG great update! Used to take 6-10 seconds, but now... it's like 4 seconds on a 1 mississippi, 2 mississippi..... you know the drill

holmgren

Awesome!! Worked like a charm!

Thrilla98

ok heres the exact error:

Install from SD Card
Finding Update package...
Installing Update package...

E: failed to read footer from /sdcard/update.zip

E: Signature verification failed

any ideas on what I did wrong?

micp1480

I know that this must sound stupid, but when you say download, download to the phone or the PC. I can do both is the reason I am asking. If I download to the phone, how do I re-name the app, and how do I load the app into that renamed folder?


MICP1480

syntrix

Thanks for reporting

Mine is still fine so far!

CatsTide

same here

Campah

Me too, then I get

syntrix

No idea, what is your location? Did you try the updated instructions?

How did you load it on the droid? Maybe it's a location thing? Everyone I've talked to has been successful so far!

I'm getting:

Yours and thrilla's location arent' set here. please clarify.

mrthundercleese

Android ftw! Upgraded successfully.

vonfeldt7

You probably included the file extension (.zip) in the name; don't. Rename it to "update" and it should work fine. If ".zip" is in the name, then it won't verify.
