Run checkin!! I just got final.

[88 FLUX]

They need to bust out the street-view trucks and drive around handing out free frozen yogurt to everyone on this hot summer day.

I couldn't agree with you more

 

[J-Mar]

what do you mean by "checkin"? is it settings > about phone > system updates?

Sorry for the stupid question lol

I found answer on another site:

================

Go to the phone dialer and follow the directions bellow. You should get the ota.

Go to the dialer in your phone and enter in the code *#*#CHECKIN#*#*, it should come out *#*#2432546#*#*.

Do NOT press "call" after entering *#*#CHECKIN#*#*, just watch the notification area for a prompt that you are checked in.

Then go to the usual area to check for software updates and, as long as the rolling update/upgrade has started, it will come to your device.

================

I did it and it immediately prompted me that the update was available. Doing it now.

 

[J-Mar]

Hehe. Except I had to manually update mine whereas you got an OTA

Thank ya. But yeah, once again, my full apologies if I came off rude previously. No one at all had ever seen a proven case until you proved us all wrong. So of course, we were all skeptics.

Thanks again. Froyo celebratory beers to both of us!

No worries. Water under the bridge.

I just did a "checkin", which I didn't even know about until now and it immediately notified me that the update was available.

Crap.

Checkin was success, Check for updates still screams LOSER at me (your system is up to date).

Guess we have to wait our turn at the trough.

Did check in and no joy for me. ATT n1 in Chicago: (

 

[specularius]

Yep! Exactly. Mine was a completely stock N1 as well (locked bootloader, never hacked, EPE54B) and is now on FRF85B. Just rename to update.zip, put on root of SD, and run from recovery.

I did this and all I get is a triangle with an exclamation mark and a little green Andy. Did I do something wrong?

That means no froyo for you just yet.

Yep. Same thing. Still up to date.

UUUUGGGGHHHHH fighting the temptation for manual install is sooo hard. don't know if I can hold on much longer.

 

[evilp8ntballer7#AC]

so I found a link for a repacked FRF85 for rooted nexus's and it says everything went fine in the recovery screen but when I reboot it, it still shows FRF83?!

I also took the battery out and restarted it after putting it back in. ???

 

[tom28]

couldn't wait. did the manual update. Enjoying froyo now

 

[jspidey]

I cant get the the thing to work manually. I reformatted another SD card that I had so the only thing on the card was the update.zip file. I followed the steps:

- Volume down + Power
- Volume down to "Recovery" - hit Power button
- Hit Power button + Volume up after the static X and when Andy pops up with the ! & yellow triangle sign

So I get to the "Android system recovery (2a)" screen and proceed to "Apply sdcard:update.zip" but I get back:

E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory)
E:signature verification failed

Not sure what the deal is. I did note that when I view the properties of the file using Astro viewer it says the permissions are only read/write and nothing about executable (if that's even an option).

Any tips?

i made this mistake.

Make sure you don't name the file update.zip.zip

Wow - good thing I'm a network tech and not a PC tech. I should have thought of that! Thanks!!!

Yeah, we've all passed a lot of water since then.

But I still get no checkin love. Grrrr.

 

[Pwncorn Sandwich]

ah, so I guess the updates are rolling out for AT&T stock phones, but not for TMO stock phones just yet

I tried the CHECKIN trick, and it said "Checkin success" but no system update available yet

Same for me.

Worked fine for me. Showing FRF85B. I upgraded from FRF50.

 

[stalker]

People who are not getting update notification can do a manual update. follow the link.

AT&T and T-Mobile Nexii receive another OTA update (FRF85B) – Android and Me

 

[tkao2025]

Does one need a sim card in the phone to update? I went into the system update and it still shows my system is up to date. Anyone else is still showing 2.1 is the current system? Mine is not rooted.

 

[Kage_]

I just ran a checkin on my stock ATT N1 and didn't get the notification to update it. My guess is Google is running the updates in batches by IME to keep the load manageable.
