[LINKS/GUIDES] Froyo "test ROM" is officially released for the Nexus One!

[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.

The "official" release will probably fix bugs, but nothing new.. Thats just me anyway

Yes, makes sense, all the interst will be at the "Froyo is officially released for the Nexus One" thread as soon as it appears

The "official" release will probably fix bugs, but nothing new..

Yeah I agree. I reckon that is a fair bet. Bring it on.

Please explain...?

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.

I updated my phone manually at FRF50. Can i get final release of froyo via OTA?

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.

 

[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.

In the official Nexus One Help & Support Forum there announcement from the Google:
"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!"

...so, it is an "official test Froyo release" or a "premature release" or "a google error release" ...looking forward to newer version too!

It has been confirmed it's a RC, not a test build.

The difference may appear slice, but the RC could end as the final release if no bugs are found, while a test build well.. just tests.

 

[lordvikon]

hey i installed froyo already but whenever i try to install the update u sent it keeps aborting it why?

 

[Rusty!]

If you've already got Froyo, then there is no update, if you've got it, that's it for now.

'Til the final one is pushed out at least.

ERE36B

I can't get the Froyo to install. I get this error message:

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

--Install from sdcard...

My build number is ERE36B. Does the froyo update work with my build?

 

[Rusty!]

No. ERE27 only.

 

[D4nn3r]

How can I change it back to ERE27 from ERE36B?

 

[Rusty!]

Unlock your bootloader and flash it.

 

[D4nn3r]

Unlock your bootloader and flash it.

If I do that do I loose my warranty?

 

[badantii]

If I do that do I loose my warranty?

Software warranty yes .

 

[Wylker]

Just fyi, a tech support guy from google told me that even people with custom recovery (on stock roms) will receive the OTA for 2.2

no idea if he's right, but he seemed really sure about it
