Im gonna be paciente and wiat for the ota update from verizon becuase im not gonna risk my new phone

I agree; I am super stoked this "update" is out, but I don't want to be unable to get the legit OTA update from VZW or brick my phone.
 
what I mean is, can I download file using my phone.I dont have access to computer...
 
can you download zip file straight into sd card?

Yes you can. Use the second link in the directions and enter you email account. That will send you an email with a link and when you click on the link it will start downloading on your phone.
 
at 70% and still downloading......Does anyone know if you can go back to 1.5 later by doing a hard reset? I am willing to play but want to be able to get the Verizon OTA whebn the time comes and if that means going back to 1.5 and want to be able to.
 
chuck, cann you post that link.just tried from xda and was a no go. not sure if I have right one
 
I can't wait to get off work today so I can download the update but I think I will wait to see what other people say about it. Hopefully there will be enough people posting good things about it before I get off

I doubt it, seems to me a factory reset would just wipe the phone to a 2.1 fresh install ? Unless you backed up the 1.5 OS somewhere
 
Im gonna wait for the OTA just cuz ill be pizzd if there is a major bug an Ive just voided my warranty and insurance claim cuz I wanted the latest and greatest.
 
I did and so far everything is sweet. I will write more later, but so far it is sweet. Google navigation is having me download Speechsynthesis Data and then I am going to give it a run. Everything seems to have been updated including the Camera. I hooked it up to my USB on my laptop and it asks if I wanted to connect it as a drive. So far I am stoked. It is going to be so hard to get any work done today :)
 
I talked with a rep at Verizon yesterday, and I know you can't take everything they say for the complete truth, however, he did tell me that Verizon is ready to make the official release of 2.1 for the Eris. This will happen on the 26th of March. Hopefully he wasn't just running his mouth, feeding false info. So hopefully an official release is really on the horizon!
 
where in the sd card should file be? right now its in my download sd folder. should I move to phone root folder?
 
filehosting.org/file/details/119458/TG00djLX9MGg8D2N/PB00IMG.zip says that it can only be used once...
 
Now that I was thinking about it I have a spare bb tour so if the update does brick my phone ( I don't think it will ) I've got a backup so when I get home I'm gettin 2.1. I'll let you guys know if I run into any problems, if I do maybe someone here could help me
 
You will be fine. I had some trouble installing untill I redownloaded. Now everything is sooo sweet
 
there is no known wait to go back to 1.5 yet, now the question is... should I stay.. or should I go =-)...



updated, I lied, you can actually get the MR2 manual update 1.5 from the partner site, I posted its own thread for the instructions in case people brick their phone.
