Here's instructions on how to do it manually for anyone waiting still for the OTA but doesn't want to wait any longer. I did it manually.

copy paste into browser:

androidforums.com/nexus-one/41504-how-force-2-2-2010-ota-update.htm

I had to manually reselect tmobile as my network operator under settings -> wireless networks but after that I got data. Was pretty smooth and painless. Also data roaming was off so you might want to change that back if you had it enabled before (I did and I'm almost positive I won't get data roaming charges).

Its an awesome update. Pinch to zoom works where it said it would. It's *MUCH* faster. I think they unlocked all the ram. Boots faster, homescreen apps thing flies in noticeably faster.. and yes this is comparing to reboots before the update and its speed. Under version it says 2.1- update1 now. I also get HSDPA in my apartment (check by going to *#*#4636#*#* then phone info. It'll say it under network type.. run a ping test it seems to switch to the mode automatically after some sort of data has been sent.. my guess is to save battery life). So overall it looks great.
[Nexus One General] cliffy15:
Just downloaded and applied the update from the recovery console (couldn't wait for the OTA update - non rooted. stock ROM).

This has definitely resolved my 3G/2G switching. Actually, it took what I thought was a bad signal strength in my building ... to getting a consistent 3 bar 3G HSDPA signal. Love the radio update.

I haven't even tested the rest of what came with the update and I'm already a happy camper!
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
What does that URL do? Oh, and the ROM has not all been unlocked.
[Nexus One General] Firerat:
it takes you to a guide
[Nexus One General] Mrplennium:
everytime I copy and paste the link, it says "page not found". What am I doing wrong?
[Nexus One General] scgolfer7:
I Think the Thread Name had a change here is the link that works

androidforums.com/nexus-one/41504-how-force-2-2-2010-ota-update.html

And here is a stupid new question, if I use this method to update, I will be able to access future updates using the regular OTA method right?
[Nexus One General] Tortri:
there is a space in the link.. but androidforum is taking it hard, it got murdered by engadget. So.. anyone copied the DIRECT link to the file not androidforum??
[Nexus One General] mchang:
http://android.clients.google.com/updates/passion/signed-passion-ERE27-from-ERD79.a487b405.zip

now, if someone can tell me how to apply this OTA update to a unlocked/rooted phone, I'd be happy. Currently I get a assertion of verification failed. Anyone install to unlocked/rooted?
[Nexus One General] blisk:
Also check out the maps program. Its been updated... we now have turn by turn navigation. Also street view for selected points and you can enable street view compass which allows you to do a google sky map sorta thing and move your phone around and it'll move the street view around. Awesome.

I wanted to see if they fixed the pink that pops up in the center of the image when you're taking a picture and even viewing stuff through it. Unfortunately its not fixed but whats good is I figured out that its probably a software thing. Swipe out the settings on the left side and change the white balance. Seems to go away significantly if not completely on some settings.

And yes OTA updates will work in the future.. even if yo have the cyanogen mod i've heard he has an OTA update feature and typically updates his roms with the new update 2-3 days after the official update. Unless you're up on the forums all the time and checking considering office OTA updates take a day or two to fully go to everyone's handset its not that much of a wait over the official stuff. The official OTA should be working now but they're updating it in batches so it doesn't overload the servers (going by how other phones/carriers do OTA updates).
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
you cant. rom update has to be modified
[Nexus One General] mchang:
ah. that's what I thought. Thanks. guess I'll troll around until someone releases it :)
[Nexus One General] flarbear:
None of that is new - the stock 2.1 maps already had turn by turn and street view (with compass)...?
[Nexus One General] flarbear:
Someone posted a comment on the web page with the instructions for doing a manual update saying that the following phone number would trigger a checkin that would get you the OTA:

*#*#2432546#*#*

(Note that 2432546 is T9 for "CHECKIN").

I tried it and got a new status bar icon "checkin result: success", but no update notice. Anyone have any idea what this really does - or how it compares to what the "About phone/System Updates" button does?
[Nexus One General] scrappyabs2:
Does this update fix the touchscreen calibration issues?
[Nexus One General] tonyx3:
So you're saying this update can't be applied to a rooted phone that's still running the stock rom?
[Nexus One General] :
I've noticed a littlebetter response with the soft keys but it might just be placebo effect
[Nexus One General] rsweepe:
after doing a manual update on a NON rooted phone does anyone else when using voice search on the google search bar on the home screen getting force closes everytime?

when i use it in messages it works tho
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
i am pretty sure no...
[Nexus One General] fmcgirt:
Exactly the same for me. Manual upd, non-rooted, unlocked, TMO.
[Nexus One General] rsweepe:
yeah its really bugging me
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
mine works fine
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Works just fine for me...
[Nexus One General] Slimgym20:
Mine works fine
[Nexus One General] tonyx3:
Indeed, it failed.

I unlocked and rooted via superboot, but have not flashed any custom roms or recoveries, so I assume that means it's still stock? (ie. superboot isn't actually a custom rom, right?)

In any case, when I tried to download and update via the androidforums link, it said this:

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...

E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

I downloaded and tried it from both of the links on the Androidforums page, with the same result. I assume that this is due to the rooting of my phone, but it says the error is in the update.zip, so...

Can anybody confirm that?

Also, androidforums is now completely borked, from all the linking to their page. All I get is a database error page.
[Nexus One General] rsweepe:
some people its working for some people its not..who knows
[Nexus One General] rsweepe:
It just started working for me out of no where so must have been Google's issue
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Can anyone verify if being on wifi would impede getting the update notification?
[Nexus One General] grainysand:
Doesn't impede. In fact, I got the update notification while my phone was connected to wifi.
[Nexus One General] mcmexican:
I got the update from here http://www.redmondpie.com/update-rooted-nexus-one-to-ota-update-for-multitouch-9140423/

It gave me the exam same error on my phone which is unlocked, rooted but no cooked rom on it.

everyone with verification errors.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=614850

follow that thread to get your boot.img back to stock then try it.

either that, or go ahead and install amon_ra's recovery and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=627411 install the update from the modded recovery image.
[Nexus One General] tonyx3:
Thanks David,

I intend to install the modded recovery image, but as I've posted elsewhere, modaco's page confused me:

He lists "Main update" and "radio update."

My understanding is that in the original update, the radio and software updates are both included.

His page is unclear as to whether the "main update zip" includes the radio update, or whether he actually split them, and I have to install both... ??

Also, I take it I have to switch to the Amon Ra recovery to install this? The stock recovery (makes sense) wont install the modded update?
[Nexus One General] david1171:
Yes you will have to install a modified recovery, and you can open up the .zip and see if there is a radio.img in it. If not, then download and install both.

Sorry I only installed the radio from modacos page so I don't know about the main update.
[Nexus One General] caysman:
I confirm that the zip file from here works...

h t t p ://android.clients.google.com/updates/passion/signed-passion-ERE27-from-ERD79.a487b405.zip

Just rename it to update.zip and do the procedure.

(from earlier post)

1. Hold volume down + power.

2. A screen will show up with really tiny writing. "fastboot" should be highlighted. Press volume down once to select "recovery" and press power once to accept.

3. Now you should see the exclamation mark. Hold power while tapping volume up once.

4. You should now have a menu that will allow you to flash update.zip from your sd card.

5. Let the phone do its thing until it gives you the option to "reboot now" it will then flash the updated radio image I believe. Then it will reboot on its own.

Edit: I'm running completely stock, locked bootloader.
[Nexus One General] RedMist:
Is there a difference between the US and EU files?

i.e. with this work in the UK?

EDIT:

Downloaded 15MB file from

http:// android.clients.google.com/updates/passion/signed-passion-ERE27-from-ERD79.a487b405.zip

And installed. Seems to work fine.

FWIW, I booted with the update.zip file and decided to chicken out. So on the bootmenu I pressed the OFF button. But it seemed to go ahead and do it anyway. I pressed the trackball at one point and it just did it... Sorry to be a bit vague. I definitely didn't follow instructions to the letter, but managed to update anyway. Happy. :)

Was on stock ROM, not rooted.
[Nexus One General] timothydonohue:
i tried a 64mb 'updated' file from modaco, no luck. 15.2mb file from somewhere on here (i believe 2 posts up, caysman's file name sounds correct, but i can't swear, because i renamed mine as soon as i got it, lol) has worked. MT in gallery and maps for sure, haven't tried browser, because i just stick with dolphin, which already had it.

can't attest to 3g issues either. reception in my apartment has always been bad, no matter the carrier (pretty sure i live in a faraday cage), and i've always had great reception otherwise
[Nexus One General] gn00my:
mine also works great with the new update , installed it on a rooted phone
[Nexus One General] raven2000:
Few people have mentioned they had 3G connectivity but after the update they no longer experience the issue.

Anyone else notice in 3G connectivity/signal reception difference after the update?

I sold my Nexus One just for this reason. If this has been fixed for more then few people then I will purchase this phone again :)
[Nexus One General] rob61280:
I Experienced problems with 3G in the uk now I've updated the problems have gone touch wood.
[Nexus One General] htcmagic:

Launcher does not crash with 3rd party widgets, that live wallpaper clock is fixed and phone is a bit faster. MT is great.
[Nexus One General] deadsoul123:
i have the same thing superboot rooted and stock and i have the same error
[Nexus One General] Sim-1:
Very same problem here. HELP!!
[Nexus One General] tonyx3:
Sorry guys. I haven't found a solution yet.

I tried switching to Amon Ra's recovery, and installing the modded version of the update, from modaco.

It works, but it breaks root.

So I re-rooted it with superboot after the install, and now my Wi-Fi won't work.

I don't know what to do now, but I'm about THIS close to flashing the original, and hoping that works.
[Nexus One General] brucemeng:
I updated manually with the 15mb update from google.

I noticed some minor glitches with the update, and I'm wondering if it's the patch or I updated wrong?

Glitch 1:

The dots on the homescreen do not reset themselves properly if I launch a program from the left/right screens, then press the home button, the dots are still on the previous screen.

I.e. (screen right) ... . (launch program, then press homescreen) (homescreen) ... . instead of (.. ..)

Glitch 2:

On the phone lock screen there is a vertical line after my service provider.

E.g. "Fido|" whereas before it just said "Fido".

Everything else appears to be working fine. Speed I find is more or less the same as before.

Can anyone else confirm if they have those 2 glitches from above?
[Nexus One General] cypher21:
@Bruce

I can confirm both
[Nexus One General] tonyx3:
Ok, so I re-flashed the "main update" from modaco, and my Wi-Fi is back, but now my phone is un-rooted. If I re-root with superboot, it'll prolly break again....
[Nexus One General] krohnjw:
I get #1 - no evidence of number 2 on T-Mobile.

Problem with previous browser mods

Hi, I've got cyanogen's browser mod installed & the update won't run, it complains about verification of the browser.apk file & then fails.

Anyone know a way to resolve this easily ?

Thanks

followed instructions in post#129 and worked perfectly fine instantly stock/not rooted.

I did this manually, super easy... took maybe 5 min total, the os does seem faster and even my nexus live wallpaper looks like it moving faster lol could just be me tho! google - keep rolling out updates!!!

[Nexus One General] the taxidermist:
I have glitch 1 as well
[Nexus One General] siimot:
Same problem also, rooted phone standard rom

Formated SD card, tried the modded upgrade.zip from modaco also no joy :(

Does this mean the update ota will also fail when i finnaly get it..
[Nexus One General] lnjryan:
I have glitch 1 now also.
[Nexus One General] dextroz:
I have glitch 1 now as well. I did manual update. My nexus is not rooted.
[Nexus One General] cypher21:
I did a manual update as well.

Can someone with the pushed update confirm this glitch?
[Nexus One General] yostral:
Manual update and have the two glitches mentioned here.
[Nexus One General] deadsoul123:
i found a solution for this as well.

if you have a rooted phone with stock firmware and it wont work.

heres what i did

download fastboot

download the recovery ra image from here

android.modaco.com/content/google-nexus-one-nexusone-modaco-com/299241/05-jan-1-5-3-ra-nexus-recovery-image/

put the .img file in ur fastboot folder

open cmd on windows or terminal on mac/linux

navigate to the fastboot directory (e.g in mac put the fastboot diretory in the mac hd and type cd /fastboot )

turn off your phone

turn it on while holding the trackball

make sure you have the fastboot usb written in read

go to cmd or terminal and type

./fastboot-mac devices

or

./fastboot-windows devices

or

./fastboot-linux devices

depending on your OS

this will give you the serial number of your phone you do this to know if your phone is connected

then type

./fastboot-mac flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.5.3.img

or

./fastboot-windows flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.5.3.img

or

./fastboot-linux flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.5.3.img

then when you access recovery it will look different and you can go access .zip from sd card where you will have update from modaco and it will work

I have glitch #1. My phone was one of the first to get this update automatically pushed.

I do NOT have glitch #2. If I press the power button, wait for black screen, press power button again, my lock screen just shows "AT&T" without quotes or fine lines. It is a fine phone though :D.

I have live Red Magic Smoke as my wallpaper.

I have NOT rooted my phone.

[Nexus One General] krohnjw:
Yeah, works fine for me, manually updated.
[Nexus One General] homerrulez:
I keep getting installation aborted each time.

install from sd card

finding update

opening update

verifying update

installing update

verifying current system

then shows failed and then installation aborted.

Now can I panic? Pretty Please :D

Still waiting (San Diego, CA).....I thought they start to roll out since Tuesday?

Do they postpone the official OTA patch because of so many problems?

Hello, I am currently a college student, and I am unable to connect to my school's wi-fi network with my G1. The G1 tries to obtain an IP address, and then fails. I know this has to do with the fact that you need to type in a username and password to connect to the network, and I was just wondering if there were any way for me to set up this configuration on my phone. Any help would be very greatly appreciated. Thank you!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiddengopher:

[Nexus One General] optimus82:
I've seen a thread in here with a couple users claiming that the wake/sleep button at the top had stopped working.

I've had my nexus for about 2 weeks now and I am starting to feel that the button is getting less sensitive and getting a lil sti ky. When I first got my nexus, it was really easy to press.

Even though it is passed the 14 days, is this something that htc will fix? ...if there are enough complaints about it?
[HD2 General] Archer:
Hi all,

I sent a support request to HTC a few days ago to basically explain that there's a lot of people that are frustrated by the fact that their updates on the support page of their website do no explain what the fixes/ROM upgrades actually do.

While this is not a particularly committed response, I just wanted to share it with you all.

My request...

And their response...

Like I said, it's not a particularly committed response, but something, nonetheless.

Fingers crossed ;)
[HD2 General] iceghost1210:
i think its good that they will consider it... their descriptions are pretty useless and could tell us proper information about patches and hotfixes etc... but at least you got a response from them.. :D
[HD2 General] rene.knight:
i think HTC's main problem when it comes to issues like that, is that theyr all of a suddein trying to be this young cool, hip company producing phones for the average joe, instead of ppl who like to dig abit deeper into the phone. so its easier to post a update description that ultimately tells you absolutely nothing but atleast sounds cool. rather then a large detailed post wich nobody of the new user group they are trying to reach would understand
[HD2 General] Archer:
Possibly, yeah, but it's pretty pointless to just put rubbish when you could at least say "fixes x and y issues". Even someone non-technical knows if there text messages aren't being sent, and would like to know that a hotfix is going to address that.
[HD2 General] richardirv:
I just think they don't like admitting there was a bug in the first place.
[HD2 General] omneity:
Unfortunately in today's litigious society that's all too often the case with large organisations. It would be more positive for the typical consumer (i.e the one's not looking for easy fiscal gain) if the companies publicly recognised the fault and offered-up a fix/workaround at the earliest opportunity and not least kept their customers informed.
[HD2 General] m_g:
Could be a cultural thing, too... In my professional life, I deal a lot with engineers from the asian/pacific region and I can tell you that it took for ages until they realized that admitting an error and showing that you are willing to work on it is NOT seen as a sign of weakness but as a sign of strength in the western world.

I don't know if that's the case with the people who wrote the hotfix descriptions at HTC but if I'm right, we should rather encourage them instead of simply complain about their

texts.

Just my 2 cents...
[HD2 General] Archer:
I think you forgot the fact that we do encourage them - we give them a lot of money for their products. And it's not a complaint anyway. If you read the email I sent them it was a request, not a complaint.

I don't take the line that some people on here do, shouting from the rooftops that HTC have betrayed us because of a few simple issues that are being ironed out. I'm very happy with the device (and have been with all my HTC devices), but I'm not happy with the lack of information they give us when they release a fix.

I simply want to know what a fix actually does, not how important keeping in touch is. I know that. That's why I bought the phone.
