Ok so I still have not received the ota 2.2 update for my motorola droid. I used to have my droid rooted to droidmod I think, I started having some problems (this was months ago so I'm sure everything was fixed) and I unrooted and went back to stock 2.0.1 and then used the ota to update to 2.1. So I am waiting on froyo and I was just wondering if I update and don't like it will I be able to flash back to 2.0.1. And also and info anyone knows about the ota update would be nice too.

I just unrooted from droidmod back to 2.0.1. I tried to do the forced update to 2.2, I got an error I think I need to have 2.1 to get to 2.2 do you know where I can find that?

Also you can force the 2.2 if you want

Hey, I am about to be exactly where you were when you wrote this. I anticipated that there may be an issue with trying to go from 2.0.1 to 2.2 via ota and you seem to be confirming that. Have you resolved it? Did you have to load 2.1? Where did you find it (I'm not having much luck yet), thanks!

Yeah, i wouldn't try to go from 2.0.1 to 2.2 ive heard a lot of problems with that. And i havnt actually tried it because im still at stock 2.1 waiting for 2.2 ota. But from what ive found out; if you just unrooted and are on 2.0.1 then u might have to force the 2.1 update then i think the 2.2 ota should come to you. If it doesn't i guess you could just try and force both of them. Sorry im not much help, but if you do figure it out please let me know, because im definitly going to root again soon and if you figure out a way to get back to 2.2 then tell me cause i for some reason might want to go back to stock 2.2

Thanks for the reply. I managed to find & download a seemingly official version of 2.1 after having totally unrooted/ reverted back to stock 2.0.1. I loaded 2.1 w/o issue then & waited for the ota which had been firing all morning relentlessly thus the cause of my action today. Soon enough when I checked the "system update" section of the "about phone" section of settings, Verizon had pushed 2.2 & I just had to press install now. Worked! I'm happy to be at stock 2.2 awaiting my flash 10 in a couple of weeks.

Btw: F
irst attempt at letting 2.2 ota roll didn't work, I suspected if I reloaded 2.1 again the ota would take. I was right
