DROID 2.1 Update thread.

[_Trip]

Directions for getting the update: (Exclusive!)
You will need a compass application and ensure that your droid is properly calibrated. (draw a figure 14 with it sideways)

Be sure to have your droid plugged in (as *they* can tell).

Point your droid to 10 degrees west of due north (based on your compass).
More specifically - point the "hole" at the top of your droid in that direction. (Most people think that it is for Headphones, but they are only slightly right. Data Input for large amounts of data must pass thru this port).

If you hold your droid in this position for an hour *WITHOUT* touching it, an update.zip file should show up in your sdcard under the downloads directory, and soon after your droid will reboot.

The update does change the color of your droid though, so if you don't like blue, I wouldn't allow it or you will be disapointed.

If you have any questions, be sure to contact your Local Verizon Rep (after the hour is up, of course), and let them know that these directions did NOT work for you. Maybe they will update them at that point.

How about that update.zip? Possible?

 

[Roy Aguilera]

Not in there. I think it deletes after the update. If someone gets it tonight, pull the zip before updating.

DA6 have u seen, does it include any of the things the milestone got that werent in the verizon pdf, like 9 home screens or a revamped camera app?

 

[SparkyXI]

Non believers please stand up.

That picture is cool and all, but didn't the UK update happen yesterday? Without the Verizon Wireless logo visible at the bottom of the phone, I just can't believe that. For all we know, that could have come from France on a Milestone. I'm just sayin'.

 

[atkins400]

Pull the card, run a file recovery program on it. That update file is still there somewhere. Boy, I'm sounding desperate now.......sigh.

 

[hossberry]
