I want my droid to go through its right of passage the old fashioned way!

you may be alone lol.

 

[iamloco724]

im usually like that but the manual update is really easy and worked flawlessly

The "force" method is literally exactly how the phone applies the update OTA too, this is just a different way of commanding the install to start, there's no difference at all.

I'm patient, I'll wait a few days for all the goodness without risking bricking my new Droid by doing something wrong

im just too lazy to to go through the whole process of doing it manually. i can wait a day or two ;p

There is no way to brick it by doing this. You simply put update.zip into the root of your SD card and run it through the recovery menu. Zero risk. I mean, actually, there might be some if you pull the battery while it's updating or something, but why would you do that!?

EDIT: No... even then I bet you could get into the recovery menu and flash the factory OS onto it... not that I'm gonna try it.

You guys are just a bunch of wusses. Go for it, live a little dangerously just once in your life, you hack virgins!

Dude, I just went through 2 weeks of H3LL with my PC, I am just too skittish to try anything with my Droid. I think I'll wait, thanks

 

[mswhite60]

Im getting an error right after the update starts to load....it says theres not a valid signiture? anyone have this problem?

 

[mswhite60]

I still have the plastic on the back of my screen, too!

 

[crowell392]

i think im going to wait also

 

[Legacystar]

it's litteraly the exact same thing the phone goes through when it gets the OTA update, downloads the file and runs it lol.

 

[The_Chief]

Okay, I may give it a shot... I downloaded it and renamed it update.zip, I guess I'm already halfway there

 

[rjoudrey]

Let us know how it goes!

I didn't take the plastic off the back aswell. But I did the update, because I want the phone to perform like it is supposed too. I was worried about it too, but all it is is download, move from downloads folder to anywhere on the sdcard, just not in a folder. Are first every one was saying put in in the root on the sdcard
I assumed that I had to root my phone. Then I red on another site that they are just referring to the sdcard, and not rooting the phone...hope this helps

 

[mswhite60]

Oh, I know I don't have to root it.

Maybe I'll wait for the other 800,000 of us to get 2.02 on Friday!

 

[crowell392]

i can wait til Friday

 

[rjoudrey]

Suppose you are the 799,999th one to get it?

I don't know why you would wait. It was so easy, it took me 5 min tops. Then again aside from the new unlock screen and camera wait time I am having a hard time figuring out what was changed.

 

[The_Chief]

Okay okay, I bit. And it WORKED! It was rather painless, wasn't it?

I am sensing an "Invasion of the Update Snatchers" going on here.

Is this the "Girls with Droid" thread.

 

[The_Chief]

That was mean. We're just nervous non-hackers, that's all

Who's the two other people with you?
