yah. The OTA that Google pushed out was NOT just press phones as a few people guessed at. Regular, non press people got it too.

ALSO, and what many people aren't reporting (mainly because they don't know) is that many of the press phones out there are running different ROM's than ERE27. Most are higher and even as recent as FRF44 (none of those would have received that OTA).

You're fine. Google just pushed it out in small batches initially to make sure there are no serious issues. Once some time has passed and no serious issues have been found, the masses will get it.

Everyone's seen that article. People around here reporting they got the OTA are thin on the ground though.

Don't spread misinformation. The update that is floating around is an official release. Nothing hacked about it.

Whether it was supposed to be out in the wild and leaked is a different matter altogether.

Semantics. Cannot argue with that.Yes it is AN official release but not THE official release.

[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Why has Google still not confirmed this is THE official OTA? Why were the developers in the market caught off guard by this? Why have top Google Android development employees made sarcastic remarks that suggest this isn't THE official update?

Until Google confirms this, I mean really confirms it, not some email "from" Google to one website that broke the story....

And show me one regular person that has gotten this, through a legit OTA... just ONE is all I ask for. I can't find any beyond hear say, oh, my buddy got it OTA... Why, out of ALL the XDA members, has not one of us gotten a real OTA update?

You have to admit, it seems very, very, very fishy and suspicious. As it stands, actually, it is pure speculation this is THE official OTA update. And until Google actually confirms it with an official statement/release to the public, not one website with reason to cover their ass, you can't be sure unless you have flawed logic and reason.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Re: Froyo is officially released for the Nexus One!

This is the point of contention.. Most of you guys are implying this isn't the official update file..and there's no evidence of that at all.
[Nexus One General] :
There's a HUGE difference between a hack (desire rom from paul) and a leak(current froyo update).

You may want to look up what semantics actually means.

Probably cause it happened over the weekend. I'm sure they'll make note of the issue tomm.

The file came DIRECTLY off googles servers, with properly signed release keys. What more proof is needed?
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Re: Froyo is officially released for the Nexus One!

Ok.

That's a fair point.
[Nexus One General] alishankiti:
MotoGAL

The GAL support is limited to autocompletion of email addresses in the email client. There is no way to lookup a contacts phone number for example. Therefore MotoGAL is still needed, the only problem is that I haven't found a version of MotoGAL that does not FC in Froyo.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
Re: Froyo is officially released for the Nexus One!

It's very possible that Google was gonna add a few more minor tweaks to 2.2 in the next week or 2 before finally releasing this update. And maybe they threw it up on their servers for a select group of people, ie press just to show off froyo features, but its not the final update.

[Nexus One General] kikikaka:
Although the file is released in google's server and signed by google, we still cannot confirm this one will be the same as the OTA one.. It is ok for me to do the manual update process. I was waiting for somebody who got the real OTA update and compare if this is the release build for OTA.

So I still stick with 2.1. I do hope google can release the ota sooner.. keep waiting ...
[Nexus One General] McHale:
The "press only" rumor was a dumb hunch at best. Non press people got it. LOTS of non press people got it.

And let's face it, NOTHING is final. The OTA I receive for my AT&T N1 won't be the "final." Patches will continue to come out until the N1 is EOL.

Seriously, repeating rumors as fact causes more issues than letting the facts speak for themselves. One of the reasons that there's confusion is because most of the newbs didn't read this whole thread and just came here looking for the update.

Let me be clear:

THE DIRECT LINK ON GOOGLE'S SERVERS CAME FROM SOMEONE WHO RECEIVED THE OTA AND GAVE US THE LOG FILE SO WE COULD FIND IT.

But if you don't want to update manually and are just going to wait for the OTA and spread false information because you have nothing to contribute, get out of the thread.

-Mc
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Excuse me? You trying to call me a Newb? And you are the one telling the story wrong. The link came from a Google employee that got the update... not some random Joe Blow. The only confirmed OTA's are press phones and Google employee's. That is IT.

You are the one repeating rumors as if they are fact. You are the one not even taking your own advice.

Like I already said, the only way someone can make such bold statements as you are is if they are using flawed logic and reasoning. It is pure speculation, until Google confirms it, that this is THE official OTA for the mases. As it stands, the masses haven't gotten it (once again, show me ONE real person who has gotten it truly OTA... not a tweet, not hear say, real confirmation... I can't find anyone on XDA that has, can't find anyone on the Google forums that has, and so forth).

Until Google makes an official statement, YOU are speculating just as much, if not more, than the "press phone" camp. Especially considering the only people with any verifiable confirmation to their claim is the "press phone" camp.
[Nexus One General] logger:
Not as though you are asking for much. It is a fairly simply request. Just ONE person.

Sure flies in the face of the wild statement "Froyo is officially released for the Nexus One" doesn't it.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
To add further fuel to the conspiracy fire, the file has been removed (or moved to a new location I guess) from Googles server.
[Nexus One General] ram130:
exactly why I am now afraid this might be a pre release version..:eek:
[Nexus One General] Galitrin:
Google could say something on this, is it so hard?

Anyway I hope we dont have problems to get the final OTA incase this is a pre release version.

Lol. Sorry for being a total noob, but does google work with release candidates?
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Re: Froyo is officially released for the Nexus One!

If it is, who cares?! Worst case scenario you have to download and flash the real release when it's available. Until then, enjoy this release.
[Nexus One General] edesignuk:
Anyone know how to clear browser download history now? I can't find an option anywhere, clearing browsing history and cache doesn't do it :confused:
[Nexus One General] Galitrin:
Won't we need a special file .zip for it? Because I think its not the same updating from ERE27 than updating from FRF50. Correct me if im wrong please.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Given that they OTA'd FRF50, they would have to create an upgrade path from it, so I wouldn't worry.

Froyo Update Download link

I tried this update and also had some issues. The OFFICIAL update is suppose to be 44.4 MB in size and this is over by 20MB.

Try using this update file :rolleyes::

Try the file on megaupload.com /?d=8KK9YKD3

It worked for me after trying 2 others.
[Nexus One General] adamentity:
Exactly. Its AN official release but we can't be sure it's THE official release.

Besides as long as the Signature passes verification, this is an official release from Google. No worrying about voided warranties or Unlocking root.

Besides Google throttles updates and no one is sure how that stream selection process works or how users are identified for the update.

Either way, its about time we got something to shut us up.
[Nexus One General] Turge:
Had the title been "Froyo Beta is officially released for the Nexus One", I still would've installed it because I'm definately enjoying the new featured.

Froyo - browser broken

Hi there,

i've updated my nexus to froyo yesterday.

Now i have problems with my browser, so i can't load any website. Browser shows me a 404 site "sorry, no website found..."

Any other app (youtube, twitter, facebook, etc) is working well. But only the browser won't work.

Can anybody help me? The helping hand who getting my phone work will be donated.

Update: via WiFi my Browser is doing fine. I don't edited my 3G connection settings throuth the update. Bevore the update i doesn't had any problems
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Are you rooted or not?

Have you tried turning the phone off, pulling the batter, and then booting back up?

If you are rooted, hate to say it, but sounds like a wipe and re-flash is on its way. If you are not, the most you can do is a factory reset... got to settings, privacy, clear data.

Edit:

Donate to XDA or a developer if this fixes it.
[Nexus One General] Tamille:
thx for reply, no im not rooted. i just had the official 2.1 bevore update.

i just tried your suggestion. i turned it off, put off the battery, and turned it on. (while booting my cat pissed in my room :-( .. bad day)

It's not working .. any other suggestion?
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Try downloading Dolphin HD from the market, see if that does the same thing?
[Nexus One General] Tamille:
i tried it with Opera mini 5.

Opera works well.. but i don't want to use opera.. android browser is so much better... it's so crazy!

Update: via WiFi the android browser is working very well.
[Nexus One General] attn1:
Go back into recovery and clear caches?
[Nexus One General] Tamille:
how can i do that?
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
You can't unless you unlock your boot loader, root, flash a custom recovery, etc. The most you can do is a factory data wipe, its under settings, privacy, clear data.

That might fix your issue, it might not. You could just have a bad Browser.apk... not sure if anyone has pulled out the new browser, de-odexed it, etc yet or not.

I highly suggest checking out Dolphin HD, it is built off the stock browser, but has some nice add ons... I wasn't a big fan of Dolphin, but the HD version is impressive.
[Nexus One General] pikkxda:
I have problem with MS Exchange calendar sync. There is checked box in Account menu to sync calendar with Exchange. In calendar app MS account does not appear. Any idea? Email and contacts are synced.
[Nexus One General] attn1:
Yes he can, with stock recovery. I am not running it, but I distinctly remember it there before I flashed Amon's.

Because I no longer run it, I can't go thru it again to give a step by step, but it's there. Just get into stock recovery and look around.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Yes, you definitely can wipe cache from stock recovery.

Funny how this thread is slowly sinking into oblivion as it finally dawns on people that

FROYO HAS NOT BEEN OFFICIALLY RELEASED FOR THE NEXUS ONE.

Where are all the Mea Culpas? :D Lets just pretend it never happened eh :p

A Google employee said this just two days ago, in of all places a Google forum and I see absolutely no reason to doubt him.

"..I’m the Product Manager for the Nexus One. Great to see that you are all looking forward to Froyo! Trust me, we can't wait to get you guys all the Froyo goodness, but have a few things to take care of before it's ready for show time. We are working tirelessly to push the release ASAP..."

At least the message is finally getting across it seems.

http://phandroid.com/2010/05/24/froyo-may-have-been-launched-prematurely/
[Nexus One General] ArcanaXVIII:
Yup. Furthermore confirmed by Romain Guy (google dev) on twitter :

"Android 2.2 is being rolled out to a very limited test group. We expect a final build to be available for OTA updates shortly, stay tuned!"

Even Paul retweeted this one.
[Nexus One General] McHale:
yah, cause NOBODY on XDA would flash a non-sanctioned or beta ROM.

Get a life...
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Please explain...?
[Nexus One General] Manacit:
Because they released the version that we have officially as an OTA to some phones, they will most likely release an upgrade for the version they released -> final froyo, so that the phones that were legitimately upgraded will get an update to the official release version of froyo. All it will take is for someone to leak the URL, much like what happened a few days ago, and we'll have the official ROM on our phones! That's what I'm hoping, I don't want to root my nexus to get onto the final version, I doubt that'll happen though.
[Nexus One General] logger:
Yeah thats sounds reasonable. The alternatively would be a few cases of of Buyer's remorse.

Ah, it is a non-sanctioned or beta ROM now is it? This is progress :p

Good to see.
[Nexus One General] enlothien:
so guys just to clarify :

I am still able to receive the next "OTA Official Update" eventhou m running Froyo on my unrooted nexus one right?

sorry for this its juz that things are a lil confusing in here now.:confused:
[Nexus One General] pjcforpres:
Yes. Google will release an update that allows us to update to the newest version. There is no way around it. They can't push the press an update to a preview ROM, then not push them the finalized update as well.
[Nexus One General] McHale:
ya know, XDA doesn't appreciate trolls. Then again, who does?

[Nexus One General] krabman:
Making a big deal out of nothing here. Chances are good there is no difference between this and the official release, exact same code with an official stamp. Even if there is something different and the more unlikely scenario that it actually matters non rooted users can still ota and rooted users will be there and probably sooner than most ota guys. I cant believe the crying here. There's no crying on xda....

This thread has run its course and leaves me convinced that some people should have their unlocked smartphone privileges revoked.

[Nexus One General] logger:
Yes, makes sense, all the interst will be at the "Froyo is officially released for the Nexus One" thread as soon as it appears :D :D

Yeah I agree. I reckon that is a fair bet. Bring it on.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
They did send out FRF50 OTA, to a 'very limited test group'.

When the final build is pushed out, they will have to cater for this group, so as well as an ERE27 => Final update, they will need to create an FRF50 => Final update, else they'd be leaving this 'very limited test group' in the lurch.
[Nexus One General] dtosun:
I updated my phone manually at FRF50. Can i get final release of froyo via OTA?
[Nexus One General] lorin.bute:
That's what everybody wants to know. We believe that Google is going to push the update to all no matter if you have the FRF50 or not.

We just have to wait and see. It would be kind of strange to let these test froyo phones like that.
[Nexus One General] McHale:
Don't forget that EVERY Android phone reports in to the Android cloud periodically and tells them what version you are running as well as other things. When they are ready to push out an update more recent than what you are running, they will push to groups based on your current version. It's not just a random process.

And no matter what, once it's official, the URL's for ALL of the possible updates will be quickly documented. I wouldn't worry. If I could find a version of FRF50 for my AT&T N1, I'd do it in a second.

"Hi all,

Thanks for the responses!

Just wanted to give a heads up that the build floating around is not the official Froyo release. You will get an automatic notification when we OTA the build, no need to manually download it. You will still get the automatic notification if the official release is a newer version than the one you have, so don't sweat...but I'd highly recommend waiting for our official release :)

We are striving hard to OTA the build to you ASAP, thanks for your patience!"

[Nexus One General] kingcedz:
u need to refresh the stock recovery image using fastboot, its a different procedure, basically two things u need to get OTA:

1) restore ROM to stock ROM using custom recovery image (i.e. the update.zip method)

2) restore the recovery image to stock recovery using fastboot

alternatively, wait for the repackaged update.zip and apply with custom recovery.

Thanks!

Thanks a lot guys for finding this update. I've been using it for a week and a half now and I cannot be happier with it. Don't have any problems, and so many nice additions and fixes in 2.2. The only unexpected behavior I observed was that screen auto-rotate is working worse than in 2.1. Other than that, FRF50 looks like a very solid build to me.

If anybody still hasn't upgraded to 2.2, I expanded instructions from this thread and added screenshots for each step of the update process. The update takes about 10-20 minutes.
