Motorola Droid Manual Update

Author: Unknown Wednesday, December 9, 2009


For those like myself who are unwilling to wait for Verizon's Push of the (ESD56) software update.  Behold someone has figured out a manual version of the update to install on your phone.  


I have just installed the update to my phone so I haven't had much time to play with it but I have discovered a vast improvement in phone operation moving from screen to screen and loading applications are much faster I haven't tested any of the other improvements but I will let you know how things are going in a couple of days.  


For those ready to manually install keep reading:


The folks at AndroidArena.com have given the steps on how to update your Motorola Droid to the new Android 2.0.1 software.  


1) Download the file update.zip and place it in the root directory on the DROID’s microSD memory card. Do NOT place it in any sub-directory or rename the file to something else.
2) Power the phone off.
3) Slide open the phone so you can see the keyboard.
4) Press-and-hold the letter X on the keyboard and press the Power button until the device powers on.
5) Continue to hold the X button until the screen shows a triangle and exclamation mark.
6) Release the X button and then press the Volume UP *and* Camera buttons at the same time. Be sure to keep the phone open.
7) On the screen you will see several choices, use the d-pad on the keyboard to move down the list and select the “update.zip” file.
8 ) The update will begin and take a few minutes.
9) Once it is done, select the 1st option on the screen to Reboot the phone – NOT Factory Restore.
10) The phone will turn off and then restart, and the “DROID EYE” will show for about 90 seconds.
11) Once the Home Screen loads, everything will be intact, including programs and settings.
