What a good night and good job for the community!

The Update is available to all manually and the droid is now rooted!

 

[fiscalmd]

My droid updated this morning (12/8) around 9am ET when I was in DC. There is hope for others.

Do you think this manuall update is trust worthy ? Is it possible that someone could have altered its contents ?

Yes, I think it is trustworthy.


Yes, I hope it is possible that someone could have altered the contents. Say hello to Rooted droids!

 

[jacwashere7]

what exactly would rooting our droids enable us to do ? if we used the 2.0.1 update , we should update and then root , correct ?

 

[syntrix]

I've updated http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid/25148-forced-2-0-1-droid-update-howto.html

I've updated that with few steps that might have not been obvious, should be a complete howto update if you haven't got it OTA yet.

Your first question can best be answered by checking out some of the threads around here on rooting. I'm not the best one to ask, but I have a couple of things in mind that I want to do and can't right now.




Since the update, my phone vibrates VERY strong when I am unlocking my phone. Is there a setting somewhere to shut that vibrate off?

So if I update now, what happens when Verizon/Google push the regularly scheduled update to my phone. Will it update again with the same version, recognize 2.0.1 is already installed and do nothing, etc?

It'll either skip you or you just do the update again. no big deal.

So i got my 2.01 update this morning. In class i was on this website and noticed it lagged a lot when scrolling. Does everyone experience this.

Also one bug ive found with 2.01 is on the home screen if i slid open my keyboard everything disappeared, Apps, Widgits, Etc, i had to reboot to bring everything back to my home-screen....


Anyone have questions about the new o.s let me know

Thanks for verifying.

 

[Legacystar]

apparently you didn't notice the 15 other thread on the top about updates

getting the update is old news now everyone can install it.

 

[blackbook88]

does everyone get lag on this site?
