I followed instruction exactly, thank you for being nice when telling me to re-read instructions, I had seen them and assumed for 17. And the sd card was from another method.
I have it loaded and functioning, data services too a little while to come back on, so I was sweating that. I also thought Titanium Backup would copy apps, so wrong, read above and use proper backup for apps. But if that is the worst I lose from an upgraded systems, it will give me something to do - shop the marketplace!!
SD card is good and see no problems. Testing Wireless Tether, old version didn't work, found Pre 11 and I'm up and running.
This works, I just ask the moderators to keep us in the loop - while I was setting here, cruising forums and saw the leaked Dk28 might not be final version. As long as mine is working, don't know and don't care. But much of the confusion comes from so many ways to accomplish the goal - getting Froyo and now that I'm rooted (and couldn't get it unrooted), this is a great program that individuals have put together and supported. I just hope the updates for this version, if any, are well communicated and so easy to follow.
My Thanks - and everyone remember to push the Thanks button for the help they get - that is the least you can do to support these people who work and share to make our systems work better.
Glad to help! And honestly I've been contemplating making a complete guide on the 5 or 6 different ways to update to Froyo DK28, but it seems that most of the people who were interested in updating already have, and with my luck a new Froyo version or the OTA update will be release the second I finish that guide
