Forced 2.0.1 DROID UPDATE! HOWTO

[brettlewis]

Just got my new phone in. It came in as 2.0, but about 4 hours after I registered it, it asked me if I wanted to update to 2.0.1

So, if it hasent asked you yet, go to the store.

I get an error:

Installing update...
Verifying current system...
assert failed: apply_patch_check("MTD:boot:2512896:[long string of characters]")
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

Mine says same thing, except something about

apply_patch_check ("/system/app/alarmclock.apk...........................

Getting very frustrating...

Tried it as no extensions "update" and it said it could not find file...

IT HAS TO BE update.zip or I think .tar, but NOT update, or update.zip.zip

1.) Can anyone manual update wireless, without the use of mount/usb?

2.) Has verizon (company) released 2.0.1 yet?

3.) If so, can you receieve the 2.0.1 is you manual updated the last upgrade?

Sorry man, nada... if you find out, lmk... I was curious if I go in and rename file, will it skip it if it does not think it is there and just continue with downgrade?

For users who are having an issue with signature verification and/or your installation simply WON'T work, make sure the update you have downloaded is the correct size (~10mb).

I downloaded the update from another source and it was only 24kb! Hopefully this helps

Why are you forcing and update now? Everyone had it pushed so all you need to do is wait like 10 minutes after you get your phone.
