Froyo update for rooted Fascinate

[prakash99]

I have been seeing posts about Froyo update being made available for Fascinate (OTA / pushed). So how long do we need to wait for the update for rooted device?

Umm...what? I haven't seen any posts on people with Fascinates getting Froyo via OTA, nor have I seen any indication that one is coming anytime soon.

This is where I saw it. One guy is claiming his wife got the OTA update this morning.
Update version 2.2 for Galaxy S - Fascinate - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum

I see the report but there isn't any indication that it's Froyo. For S&G's, I did a manual check for an update and did get an update, however it was to change DH12 to DI01 and failed to install. I think because I'm rooted that it may not have recognized that I already have the OTA for DI01.

On a side note, my current build number is SCH-I500.DH12 and my baseband is DI01. Still though I'm intrigued to see where it will go.

On my device, it says update server unavailable

verizon probably won't put it out for another month at least. Root by itself might not preclude you from the OTA, but if you have more done (Voodoo, ROMs) you'll probably have to wait a couple of days for someone to put out a .zip you can flash. Look at it as a blessing in disguise, I'd bet my last dime that update will be riddled with bugs.

The mystery of the Froyo update on Halloween has been solved, at least this one. The guy whose wife got 2.2 in fact got the 2.1 update, late. Here is the result of the investigation.

That's true. It certainly was for the X, it seems. So you think the best strategy would be to not immediately go back to stock to get 2.2, but to wait for a rooted zip version to come out that would hopefully/probably be bugless?

Thanks. I just saw it too

Having said that, I am getting really impatient about the delay in the update. Knowing Verizon, Fascinate will probably be the last among the four to get the update. Gingerbread man is already standing tall on google campus and yet we are still waiting for Froyo

Oh the first zip will have all the bugs more than likely because everyone will want froyo stat. I'm not touching it for a couple of weeks. My phone flies on 2.1, personally. Maybe if theres a real GPS fix in froyo I'll start getting excited.

some people are still waiting for eclair, so we're not THAT bad off.

the update will come, but i wouldn't expect anything before the end of november at the earliest.

if i'm wrong, you just get a pleasant surprise. if i'm right, then you don't get your hopes up needlessly

if you've done things to your phone (rooted, voodoo, etc) it's probably easier to wait for a zip that can be flashed in cwm

I'm rooted so I'm not going with ota update. Im gonna wait for the zip even though I'm on stock kernel.

You're right. I'm not waiting for froyo for gps fix. I don't have any real problemwith gps. I just want to change the navigator voice on google nav to british voice using svox.
