A few days ago Goggle officially announced Android 2.2 at Google I/O 2010 developers conference. There are reports of a few Nexus One owners receiving the automated update alert, however rollout is at a snails pace. If you’re impatient and want Froyo now follow the steps below to manually update Nexus One to Android 2.2:
- Download the Android 2.2 firmware for the Nexus One – here is the link to download
- Rename the file update.zip and copy it to your microSD card via the file is named update.zip and not update.zip.zip.]
- Power down your Nexus One
- Hold down the “Volume Down” button as you power the phone back on.
- A screen should appear showing your phone’s system searching for various files. Scrol down to “recovery” and press the “Power” button
- When you see the triangle with an exclamation point symbol, press the “Power” and “Volume Up” buttons at the same time.
- From the menu that appears, select “Apply sdcard:update.zip.”
- When the screen displays “Install from sdcard complete” select “reboot system now” and wait for the phone to power back up.
I’m updating and will give results with video. Make a fast phone even faster plus ability to install apps to SD Card… incentive enough!
