Despite other sites' declarations that the Froyo build that starting going out a a few Nexus One owners last week, FRF83, was the final release build, AndroidGuys can confirm that Froyo for the Nexus One is still in testing and not yet in wide release.

A couple clues did point to FRF83 being the final release version: protected apps were visible in the Market to FRF83 users, and it started going out the same day the Froyo code was dropped into the Android Open Source Project. But it didn't quite add up to us: for one thing, why would Google not acknowledge the release with an announcement of some kind?

Today, a source inside Google let us know that Froyo builds for the Nexus One are still in testing, and that at least one build numbered higher than FRF83 has been OTA'd to a small testing group.

The pace of these releases--this one just a few days after the last--and the fact that most rough edges have been polished off, lead us to believe that the full release is imminent. My guess is that we'll see the final release version this week. And the source we spoke with is using a Nexus One on AT&T, so there is a possibility that FRF83 is the final build for T-Mobile-tuned Nexus Ones. (The Eclair builds for each version of the Nexus One did have different build numbers.) But take all that with a grain of salt-- it's just our speculation. We'll hold off on confirming anything until we know for sure.

That's right it is a stupid thing to be lying about. Why would I lie?

Is there not a screenshot that I can take to show that it's legit? I don't even know how to root the N1. I came from BlackBerry and the N1 is my first Android phone.

And I'm not the only one to get it:

Android 2.2 hits Nexus One -- so who's next? - Computerworld Blogs

I just apparently happen to be in a very small group that got it.

You said it once in the other thread already...no need to rub it into our (AT&T N1 owners) face again. That's just mean. Most of the N1 AF regulars here read everything in the N1 Forum, so posting it once is enough.

Ok. Serious noob here. Extracted the file, put it on the sd card and when I'm in Android system recovery, it can't find the file.

It gives me "E:failed to read footer from /sdcard/update.zip (is a directory)"

What did I do wrong?

You say "extracted" ... do you mean downloaded? You don't want to extract it, but leave it as a zip file. Just change the name to "update" and leave it as a zip file. On your SD, place it at the /SDcard level.

I've basically given up on this being legit, or rather, given up on the idea that I should be expecting this on my phone. No official announcement from Google, a rom that's lacking promised features, and no hard evidence of stock users being able to upgrade (on either provider) all point to this not being the true and final FroYo release we've all been clamoring for.

If there's any upside, I may still hit my prediction of the 28th being the official release date. Knowing my luck, that'll be the release date for T-Mobile users while us AT&T folk don't get it until after the holiday weekend..
