Android 2.0.1 Manual Update
Quick run through of a manual Android 2.0.1 update. Not very eventful, but fun none the less. Sorry for the guys still on 1.6, maybe the carriers will show some love to you soon.
1. Download file.
2. Rename the file to “update.zip”.
3. Plug your Droid into your computer via USB. On the Droid go to the Notifications bar and select “USB Connected” then press “Mount”.
4. Once the device is mounted, the SD card will show as a removable device on your computer
5. Put the “update.zip” file you just renamed into the root directory of your SD Card.
6. Unmount the device from your computer, and turn the Droid off.
7. Hold down the “X” key on the physical keyboard and the power button. Hold both of them down until you see a Triangle with an !.
8. Hold the Vol+ button then press the camera button and you will see a menu.
9. Using the D-pad on the physical keyboard, select the option to update with the update.zip file.
10. This should take a little bit. Once it’s done select the option to reboot the phone.
The phone will take much longer than normal to boot, don’t worry as it is normal
No I’m not picking my nose. Thanks for that Vimeo. NOTE: I say 2.1, thats obviously not what I mean.
