Verizon is said to be sending out an SOS OTA for rooted Motorola Droid users out there, who were unable to successfully install the original Android 2.2 Froyo update, “FRG01B”. Verizon is sending out a new update known as “Full FRG01B”, which is bigger than the previous version, to rooted users to ensure that the update does indeed take hold. Verizon is also sending out a “FRG22D” update to non-rooted Droid users, which makes it possible to download and install the Flash Player 10.1 app in the Android Market. We’re not sure if the installation of the new update is a complete success across the board, but it’s something to try out if you missed out the first time around.
So, if you’ve rooted your Droid, and you hadn’t installed the FRG01B build, you should expect to see it hit your handset sometime soon. Again. If you avoided rooting your Droid and updated to FRG01B previously, you’ll see the new “FRG22D” update file instead. Either way, both updates will endow your Droid get support for Adobe Flash Player 10.1.
We imagine that the Full FRG01B build has the FRG22D build baked right into it, as it’s quite a bit larger than the original update (45.2MBs vs. 76MBs).
What we don’t get is what else has been thrown into the update. The FRG22D build is said to only be 1.6 MBs, so what could the extra 29.2 MBs have in store? Likely, bug fixes and other thing that were in the FRG22 build have been added in as well, though we’re not sure if that’s all.
Whatever update you end up receiving, it should allow you to find Adobe’s Flash Player application in the Android Market now. Still, we’re not sure what version will be popping up for you. If it’s anything less than Flash Player 10.1 v1.0, make sure to hit up our post on how to get the official Flash Player application on any phone running Android 2.2 Froyo.
One thing we’ve yet to hear from anyone – if a rooted user ends up installing one of these updates, will they lose root? We’d imagine Motorola and Verizon don’t really care if you’re rooted, and they probably would care less if they made you lose your root access.
But hey, if you’re a rooted Motorola Droid user, don’t you have Cyanogen Mod 6 installed at this point already?
