waiting for nexus one ota update? manually install it now
Wednesday, February 03, 2010for those of you lacking any patience whatsoever, who want to update your nexus one today rather than waiting until you get your notification sometime before friday, you are in luck.
1. download this file to your sd card.i should have added a step 7 which says "i hate you for having 2.1." enjoy yourself while we wait for the next 3 months with our 2.0.1.
2. rename to “update.zip” without the quotes
3. to reboot into the bootloader, turn off the phone. then power on while holding down the trackball.
4. navigate to the option ‘recovery’.
5. when the android w/ caution logo pops up, hold down the power+volume up
6. select ‘apply sdcard:update.zip’

so is this only for the nexus one? can a droid user download this like in the engadget video? or is that guy like super special
ReplyDeleteDo not download this to your DROID. You will likely brick your phone if you do that.
ReplyDeleteAnd which engadget video are you talking about?
Helping out N1 owners? I feel...betrayed.
ReplyDeletelol
Hey, I still took a jab at them in the post. :)
ReplyDeleteBut yer right, and you should feel cheated on cuz I feel dirty.
Where do you get 3 months from? I'm dying for this update on my droid (maybe with some multi-touch) but I haven't seen when its gonna be pushed out, other than that rumor it was supposed to be Jan, 22.
ReplyDeleteI was just throwing out a date that was really far away since they won't give us one. Being a pessimist. Sorry :(
ReplyDeleteAahh, ok. You had me worried! I was about to go cry in my corner...
