UPDATED: If you manually upgraded to 2.2. YOU WILL GET OTA : GOOGLE EMPLOYEE CONFIRMS

YAY MY STORY WAS POSTED TO ANDROID GUYS!!!
UPDATED: So I had to rush home after class and give everyone that definate answer that they long. This was in my email as I finally got a STRAIGHT answer from Google to the question
"Will the people that did the manual update to Froyo still receive the OTA, and did it void the warrenty? Can I get a straight Answer?"
Hi,
The answer is yes and no, respectively. When 2.2 (Froyo) is sent via OTA, everybody will get it, including those who have already manually updated to Froyo. No, your warranty is not voided by manually updating to Froyo. But we do recommend waiting for the OTA if you're still on 2.1 / Eclair.
Cheers,
Ben

Origonal Post:
I found some evidence that supports, all manual user will get the OTA, even if you updated manually.
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
@Bhushan4181: You will get the OTA update as long as you are connected to the internet and can communicate with Google servers.
We are striving hard to OTA the build to you ASAP, thanks for your patience!

From what I am TOLD as long as your manual update came from GOOGLE than it is still a LEGIT and offical update, just not the final, therefor you HAVE NOT voided your warrenty, and will most likely get the OTA so don't panic​
P.S Those who did the manual update(me included) I would not worry about trying to roll back to 2.1. They sent out a test build via ota to testers, and when the final build comes i'm sure EVERYONE will get the OTA as it will have a different signature and what-not. How else would they get the final build to the testers?

Beautiful. Only thing missing now is a release date :|

Good find, I think its a no brainer but confirmation is good for some folks that were worried.

yeah good to know....

Ya even I was a little tweaked. Not saying we wouldn't be able to just flash it anyhow even if you are NON root. But there was alot of mixed answers not only here but all over the net, and some people were freaking out

It appears, according to the quote ' We are striving hard to OTA the build to you ASAP, thanks for your patience!' that the build is complete and it may only be the OTA to be sorted.
I hope so anyway

"You will still get the automatic notification if the official release is a newer version than the one you have, so don't sweat"
Let's take a look at that again:
"You will still get the automatic notification if the official release is a newer version than the one you have, so don't sweat"
Just wanted to point that out

There is no question that there must be a newer version of froyo thats coming out. I say that because every forum I visit on this site (and other sites) have people complaining that this and that doesn't work (anymore).

I knew there would be at least one person that would point something out to try to kill the post cause they didn't find it first. Obviously it will be newer. The file that was MANUALLY downloaded was available to the media and what not, so what, they are never gonna get the final OTA. Its common sense. And like I siad even if by what slim chance you don't get the OTA, you will be able to push it manually.
Way to try to kill a post
BTW...

lol nice one ...
I dont find any good reason to give/update the press or the "preview phones" some unfinished or still bugged version of 2.2
For what ? so that they review it (Froyo) and write down all the bad or not working things ... it makes no sense , at least for me ...

BINGO..and what when they find the mistakes...NOT FIX IT...haha, that exactly what I was saying

what about those who installed the OTA manually and then installed the custom recovery image? will they still be able to get the new OTA?

I don't claim to know what happened, but I'm damn sure there is more to all of this.
I cannot believe the degree to which Google has fumbled this Froyo release. They let us all think we might get it at I/O and look where we are now.....another week later...all anyone has gotten is a broken version.
I said it before and I'll say it again: Mickey Mouse time in Mountain View

nice find!

did anyone read this?
maybe we don't have the offical release... yet...

Since I'm still semi new to Android, you miss out on OTA updates if you're rooted right? Does that also mean you miss out if your bootloader is unlocked?

FRF85B OTA on its way

Hi everyone,
I am running Kang-o-rama 0.9 Final, received a system update notification at ~6pm, Toronto, Canada.
Anyone else?
h**p://android.clients.google.com/packages/passion/signed-passion-FRF85B-from-FRF83.f62ffd2b.zip
Thanks

- Google incremental update (from FRF83)
- Totally stock update.zip for custom recovery and optional root/superboot update.zip
Click Here

I just did a checkin and got a system update notification. My alogcat shows the same URL you posted. Could this be final????

h**p://android.clients.google.com/packages/passion/signed-passion-FRF85B-from-FRF83.f62ffd2b.zip

I used dharani1234's post to update my stock AT&T N1 to FRF83 over the week-end, and I just got pinged for 2.2 OTA... it was a 520kb file, maybe I should have waited a bit more

omg, FRF85B...

same thing on leofroyo

Please, if anyone gets it on their EPE54B build, do not update until you get the url from the logcat for the people on AT&T models.

Just got 2.2 OTA notification while running rooted 2.2. What should I do?
I just got a OTA notification to update to 2.2. I am running Paul's rooted 2.2 FRF83. Anyone else get this? Tell me what to do if someone wants me to dump it. It says the update is 507KB
I will hold off until I hear back from someone...

This will delay the CM6 release even more now :-(

Huh, 507kb? Not much of an update.

Got the update on my EBE54B 15 mins ago I couldn't believe it, I've been checking everyday and was in denial when it said update found. I kept checking with the *#*#CHECKIN#*#*.
All I have to is WOW, really noticeable speed improvement.

Same here. I verified the URL with my alogcat, it's the same. Rebooting now....

Took a while to boot, but it booted and I'm on FRF91 now. Nice.

Will these updates to FRF85 be integrated into aosp??

With my old Android phone Samsung used the term "security fixes" as synonym for "fix glitches that allowed root access"… I hope Google is doing some real security fixes

nvm...................

It would be nice if we had a full update of it instead of incremental. That would be easier to make a rooted update from for those of us that are lazy.

But they may fix the new "root access without unlocking the bootloader" exploit that popped from FRF72 onward.

You're right, didn't think about this one.

hmm... I don't use gmail all that much. I think I'll stick to CM 6 as the alpha 3 or test 1 will be here soon with FRF91 I'm sure

A firmware update is available...

Hey everyone!
It's 5:47am on this Tuesday, November 9th, and I have a firmware update notification in the status bar.
What should I do?
Devs?

I'm running a custom rom, SlideMeRoot, with the first Mytouch Slide update applied.
Or SlideMeRoot is a version of the stock rom?
Then:
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Software number: 1.27.531.1

Images attached.

They are trying to give you the OTA. Don't take it if you like your root.

Slidemeroot uses is older than ota, they are sending you the rom that cr modded(1.3.x). Upgrade to cr for new radio and it will go away.

Sounds like you've got the OTA many of us have had for quite some time. Take a look at my signature; if your build resembles my current ROM it's an older OTA. Post some screen shots as you did earlier so we can see the change since you've updated. Thanks.

Bear in mind the OTA update was more than just a radio upgrade ... which from your initial post appears to be the extent of the OTA you have had for quite some time. Interested to see the updated screen shots though ...

Dude (and everyone else who reads this thread), please -- I'm asking for guidance here.
So if you want me to do something, articulate what that is.

It was more than a radio upgrade; it was also a fix for other slide conundrums.
So you want me to apply this OTA update and post screen shots?

FRG83D OTA Update Files

Hi All,
[ This OP has been edited based on receiving clarification from forum members...]
I just received a System Update on my rooted Nexus. The System Update says that it is part 1 of 2. I quote from my phone:
Android Update (Part 1 of 2)
Downloaded and verified 380kb
-----------------------------------
This is the first of a two-part System Update
This first part is required to prepare your device
to receive new Android system software.
Your device will restart, and your settings and
data will be preserved.
Soon thereafter, you will receive a second
update containing the new Android system
software itself.
I isolated the following files from /cache and verified their checksums every step of attaching them here:
d6096cac5e9f.signed-hboot-0.35.0017.zip (380.60KB)
(MD5 b0669d79f3ace07fdd3e1c03d88d2c68)
downloadfile.apk (1.76MB)
(MD5 1dbbb71e77a70494549e8ea9be5b631e)

I am amazed at how small they were able to make it......just over 2mb.

What the hell, 1.76mb??? That's no Gingerbread, more like Bread Crumbs. Left over crumbs called FRG83D.

I also thought I showed that this was part 1 of a 2-part update (and the update msg was pretty clear about this). I'm not saying that I'm running GB on my phone nor am I planning on applying either Part 1 of this update or what might be a much larger Part 2 containing the actual GB update.
I'm just trying to help my posting these files but I really think many of you need to take a few more minutes to read before posting. I'm not trying to say I'm cool or anything...I'm just trying to help here!
