thanks, but can you explain how you install it? rename to update.zip and stick on a sd card? and is it the 'official' final release? there have been lots of (buggy) eng releases drip fed in the past. thanks

You're on stock right?

Download the file (Obviously :pac:)

1. Rename the file to update.zip. Note that if you’re using Windows, just rename it to "update" (no quotes, of course) because it’s already a zipped file.
2. Copy the update.zip file onto your microSD card.
3. With your Nexus One off, hold down the trackball and press the power button.
4. You’ll be booted into a white screen with three Android robots on skateboards. Select "Bootloader."
5. On the next screen, select "Recovery."
6. Your phone will reboot, giving you a picture of the Android robot and an exclamation point inside a triangle.
7. Now press the power button and volume up button at the same time. It could take a couple of tries.
8. Now choose "Apply sdcard:update.zip" and let things run their course.

It comes direct from Google. The link was extracted from one of the phones that got the OTA update.

You may want to post a link that does not assume we are physically sitting at your PC, logged in as you or an administrator.

Nice. Froyo is installing on my N1 as I type...

PH4T

and it's done.

Downloading Flash 10.1 Beta now.

Ample Free ...?

I LOVE FroYo!:p

Flash can be a bit glitchy at times but I still love it. It's the one thing I was really looking forward to. I listen to a lot of music online, new bands/artists etc. so the ability to now do it on my phone is awsome.:D

Update went smoothly too, pretty quick. Alot quicker than a video I watched last night of someone else doing it??

Just a quick note to make, when choosing "Bootloader" and "Recovery", I used the power button as enter/select but when choosing the "Apply sdcard:update.zip" option I found I had to press the track ball to select it. Gave me a bit of a fright when I tried to select "Apply sdcard:update.zip" with the power button and nothing happened.

Link no longer working? I mean, it's not actually a link... but I've tried prefixing it with both ftp and http.

markfla

can I do this with the HTC desire?

Brian

Nope

markfla

sound thanks.

So is access to earlier updates an advantage of having a Nexus One over a Desire or can all other Android get froyo now too?

smackyB

anyone got a link that works or could post the file up themselves? thanks

Brian

I wonder what the reason for the file's removal was.

Google didn't authorise it for general release I suppose. It was supposedly only for phones given away free to the media.

Update the links with an unrooted and a rooted version.

Just the Nexus 1 right now.
Its basically Googles Dev Phone so it gets the updates first

It's the "Google Phone" that all Google Developers use. It's basically the standard for Android phones that Google uses to showcase Android.

Just to clarify, don't use this update on anything but a Nexus One. It will fail and may brick your device.

Keyboard seems majorly improved, which is great since it broke my HTC IME install and my Swype period expired a couple of days ago..

lord lucan

Finally got around to updating mine last night. Pretty much as good as i was expecting. Still loads to find out but the first thing that caught my eye is the camera,it's very much improved and more user friendly. Gonna have fun tomorrow fiddling about with it some more.:D

ryderster

I've noticed my WiFi is a lot speedier than before. It had a tendency to be sluggish but seems to be flying along now.:)

Brian

Could just be that the browser is unbelievably snappy now :P

Apparantley wifi n was enabled with 2.2 so that's why its faster, it really is much faster though isn't it?

Are we thinking of the same expiration? Apparently there is a system flag that Swype sets that makes it expire 3 months after installation.

Yeah i know what you mean, the popup that says "you have used your trial" bla bla bla.. heart break!
I think it ties in to your google account so you can't re-install it after clearing the cache and i even tried a few different versions and still got the expiry message even on first time to launch it.

But anyway, I eventually found one on xda developers that said in the thread that it wouldn't expire and using it about two weeks and haven't had any problems at all.
Are you using a nexus one yeah?
Let me know if you want it and i'll get you the file..

Brian

Yes please!
