[How-To] Force the Official Android 2.2 Froyo Update for the Motrola Droid (FRG22D | Update 2 of 2)

[rexdog]

I am rooted using easy root and when I tried to install this update I got this error:

Assert failed : apply_patch_check (”MTD : Boot : 2504704 : 0b5ee101da41148aa026a32848f609fa4b05403e:2875392:d104d2ec84a2d0660e786c0fb8174bfacb4079d6&#8243

Any help would be appreciated.

Does anyone know what the "improved security" is that is in the FRG22?
I'm running Froyo 2.2
bb V0.4
flash 10.1

Worked like a charm... Thanks all.

The improved security relates to the enforcement of Exchange server policies for the Email client, including PIN/password requirements and remote wipe.

Can anyone tell me how big the 22d file is? I downloaded it and the file size was only around 1 MB. Seemed much too small.

 

[Laloosh]

Awesome, thanks! I installed last night and the annoyingly cumbersome lag is completely gone.

It's 1.6 MB. I agree that it seems small, but it doesn't really do that much.

girlfriends Droid updated fine, after install went right to market and found it, installed and working great! Thanks!

It's 1.6 MB. I agree that it seems small, but it doesn't really do that much.

And I install that tiny little update the same way as the larger, original 2.2 update?

I was experiencing the same thing on my wife's droid after the upgrade. When I opened the market, I hit back until it completely closed the market. After doing this, flash was available on the market.I think on some phones, it will take some time to recognize that you have the update.

Thank you! i waited 20 mins than tried again and it appeared.

Yes, following the directions at the start of this thread.

thanks

I don't see anyone else asking this but is it even safe to force update? I ask because when I went to download the file via the internet, it tells you it's an insecure connection...when I tried the other way through my phone, it says the name on the certificate doesn't match the name on the site and to either continue or cancel. Seeing that stuff makes me iffy so I backed out totally. Thanks

What You'll Need:
- A MicroSD Card inserted into your Droid
- An Internet Connection

1. Install Astro File Manager:
Install Astro File Manager for free from the Android Market if you don

I was reluctant to force the first FRG01B update due to the sheer size (45+Mb) and the complexity involved in trying to manually force an entire OS upgrade. I waited.

I'm glad I did. When the update finally arrived via OTA, I reverted to a clean, stock Home screen before I let the update proceed. (I was running ADW Launcher with 4 screens and about 6 widgets.)

The install took all of 4 minutes and the end result was flawless as far as I'm concerned. The overall performance and speed increases were obvious. Especially in the browser and GPS applications. Super fast.
Reliable & Stable.

When FRG22D became available, I figured I'd wait again.

Then I started thinking, hey, this is only a minor 1.6 Mb patch, as opposed to a major 45+Mb OS update. I decided to give it a try.

Following the instructions I found at: How to manually install the latest FRG22D firmware for Droid to access Flash Player 10.1 – Android and Me, I decided why not?

I followed the clearly explained procedure to the letter, and less than 2 minutes later it was done. No issues. No problems.

As soon as it rebooted, I immediately went to the Market and "Flash Player 10.1" was already waiting for me at the top of the list. I added it to "push" via AppBrain a couple of weeks ago, and there it was.

Once again, perfection.
No issues whatsoever.

Go for it.

I got a new phone -twice- in the last month...

AM i too late I scanned the update code and that update is not available anymore w/ in google server("not found"-google error)via my D1
anybody got a clue for me

If you get a certificate error just hit continue.

 

[johnlgalt]

I just started downloading it to my phone via the QRCode and it worked fine for me....

 

[pdm0376]

Thanks for the replies jmack and OMJ. Much appreciated. Guess I'll give this a shot as the last 4 days I've been anticipating an update on my phone to no avail. I've also been waiting for flash as long as everyone else. Can't wait to be able to play videos from other sites besides youtube and finally be able to mess with my games on facebook

Like I said, I was reluctant to try and force FRG01B, but FRG22D was nothing more than a small patch. Besides, I really wanted to try it out of curiosity just to see if I could do it.

It turned out to be completely uneventful - it's just a 1.6Mb patch, and nothing to fear. The changes are almost insignificant, the main one being that Flash Player 10.1 becomes "unlocked" in the Market for download.

My biggest problem was pressing the "Volume Up" button & the "Camera" button simultaneously, I have fingers like tree stumps...

Just downloaded the update.zip, but I'm worried...should it be only 1,672 KB?

Seems a bit small for an update, no?

Just want to confirm before potentially bricking. Thanks!

EDIT: Nevermind, I didn't see the post above mine until after posting. Thanks anyway.

Try clearing the cache of the Market App... or restart the phone.

 

[djembeman]

Well... I was going to try to wait for the OTA, but I just couldn't stand it anymore. It worked great and Flash was waiting for me in the Market. I don't think anything will be different for me since I already had the same version of Flash Player installed by manually installing the apk.
