That's very common for updates.

Ok, I was never very excited about the gingerbread release but now that it's here, I want it!

Felt the same way, but now that I have it I really like the tweaks that they did. The overall black theme looks awesome.

Screw Gingerbread, I want Ice-Cream

Awwwwwwwww, look who's bitter for not getting gingerbread! Haha jk

Is ice cream really going to be the next codename? Seems so plain for google standards.

 

[Rusty]

Ice Cream or Ice Cream Sandwich apparently.

Nothing official though.

Well supposedly 2.4 is still 'Gingerbread' from the rumour mill, lol. I think by then, we'll be SICK of Gingerbread haha.

 

[droid_nexus]

Yes it is here, updating as we speak!!

 

[BreatheElectro]

When u are manually updating your Nexus phone. When you get to the step where you have to hold the power button and the volume up key... it's sooooooooooo much easier if you just press and hold down the power button first and then hit the volume up key right then after. It works everytime..

Just sayin.

Knew it would happen to me, I'm Vodafone UK. FRG83D build, not just FRG83....think its voda's own version...anyway followed the link above no problems but when tried to flash in recovery;
Install from sdcard
Finding update package
Opening
Verifying
E:failed to verify whole file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted

Now, I placed update.zip in /sdcard folder on its own. Can't seem to move it into the root folder using Astro. I think it can see the update as the above log seems to show. Is it vodafone and their meddling ways or is the update file in the wrong folder? Help guidance and most probably step by step destructions appreciated chaps

I'm not sure if its the same cause but I think that happened to me when I updated in the past. It turned out to be the file somehow winding up to be 'update.zip.zip' and fails the update.

When I updated to GB last night, I downloaded the file with the long alphanumerical file name off the linked site, renamed it 'update' and placed in the root of the sd card. Never added the '.zip' as it seems to add it on its own Nevertheless, aside from that, I followed the update instructions that Mostly Harmless linked and it worked perfectly on the first try.

Good luck getting it squared away. I remember how worried I became when that happened to me on my first manual update

Failed signature means that the file was changed somehow. Delete it and download it again.

Will try this out tonight guys thank you. I was all excited this morning! More delays. Any more ideas? Thanks

if it's voda-crap's own version ,you have to unlock the bootloader, revert to stock and do all the upgrades ...like i did.

That's because you are using windows and have it set to hide known file extensions. I never understood the logic of that. In file explorer got to tools>folder options (XP) or organize>Folder and search options (Vista & Windows 7) and go to the "view" tab and uncheck the box that says "hide extensions for known file types". Then you won't get the double extension goofiness.

Lol, oh my goodness I never realized that, how embarrassing That explains one of the many W7 head scratching moments in the past for this tech zero.

I received this pos E Machines W7 home edition a couple of years ago (1st 'new' pc since 2004) from a frustrated friend who was ready to toss it. After using nothing but my Mac for years, I thought I'd try fiddling with the latest Windows OS. Replaced and increased memory, replaced the HD and I've been using it since, often frustrated

I never realized this hide extension option, not that thats an excure Whats the point of hiding file extensions in Windows Explorer anyway, aesthetics?

Thanks for taking the time to explain that for me Lunatic, much obliged
