[How-To] Force the Official Android 2.2 Froyo Update for the Motrola Droid (FRG01B | Update 1 of 2)

Im using a mac and it automatically unzips the folder. Following your instructions Im supposed to used take the unzipped folder and drop it on to my SD card correct. because once safari unzips it, the names changes to update with no file extension. a little guidance is appreciated.

This is from Trident's first page instructions. Hope this helps you out.

Ive been running the frg01b leak from pete. (the clean virgin. untouched)
Apparently this build is the same thing (or very close to the same thing).
Ive been reporting amazing (almost twice as long) battery life after i recharge the battery (on the phone) with this build running. Can anyone else here confirm better battery life?

Anyone having issues with programs running themselves after updating? Ive ATK'd email and twidryd yet I keep getting push notifications from each whenever I have a new email or tweet.

Also, touch screen calibration issues with the docking station? My screen is not reading movement correctly, placing touches about a half screen off.

Just wondering if anyone else is having issues.

Manually updated and running smoothly! Thanks!

2.2 gmail, chat, messaging, facebook are great! Also I love the "update all" feature in the market. The power control widget now toggles auto brightness in addition to low and full brightness! Sweet! Still using Launcher Pro however... I can't get enough of the new LP wigdets!

Same here! I just bought an extra battery and stand alone charger and now it appears I will rarely need it. Although, correct me if I'm wrong, but using Flashplayer will probably soak up some juice.

I was EXTREMELY pleased! After 6hrs yesterday I was still at 90% with light use....mostly just playing around texting with Swype. It's addicting as Hell!!

Oy, things looked good, but then...

I followed the update procedure, everything went fine, it installed everything and asked to be rebooted. This first reboot never made it past the white M screen. Did a battery pull, waited a while, turn back on, stuck on the white M screen.

I was from a stock 2.1 install, no root or anything.

The phone will not let me install the update again, I get this error:

...
Verifying current system...
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/framework/core.odex", "269f5479367e1fc0d863e24f4d0bdf6858f1b168", "217d9d44db9c42507884f2c9a77ed8c5e624f0c3)
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

What can I do?? Do I need to wait more than 15 mins at the M screen? Thanks.
