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)

That would be FRG83D

false alarm
As millions of people spam *#*#CHECKIN#*#* and overload the OTA servers....
I am amazed at how small they were able to make it......just over 2mb.
I call False Alarm.
What the hell, 1.76mb??? That's no Gingerbread, more like Bread Crumbs. Left over crumbs called FRG83D.

Ummm, I thought I mentioned I was using a Nexus One. I doubt Motorola is pushing me an update. Good head's up, though!
BTW, my build is listed as FRF91 so am assuming that nothing in the FRF83 series would register as an update. Am I wrong here?

Yes, you are wrong. FRG83* is newer than FRF91.

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!

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....

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

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 ...

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?

Anyone else?

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

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.

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.

Some users are claiming that they are receiving Gingerbread 2.3 OTA updates. Too bad, I can't get it since I am on a Custom ROM and will have to wait for it little longer.

When I see the actual proof, then I'll believe it.
Also, the guy posted a tweet after saying it was a false alarm... the guy was probably hiding under a rock for the FRG83d update, and that's what he got.
lmfao, why do people tweet "OMG< GINGERBREAD!!!1" when the update hasn't even downloaded yet. Some people are just a bit special.
Think about it... no SDK, no OTA.
The SDK came out a few weeks after the OTA for one of the previous Android updates.
I've just had a notification of a 2 part update. Install of part 1 failed because verification failed.
Currently running FRG83, 2.2.1.

I just got it too. System now says I have 2.2.1, FRG83D, but I can't remember what the previous FRG was. Sounds like a minor update? I'm trying to figure out what changes occurred.
Does anyone actually read the forums?
lol...
FRG83 was the thing you were running, FRG83D is the new version which updates a few things such as the market app and the recovery and email (not gmail) app and maybe other minor things...It's probably a preparation for Gingerbread
Any word if this breaks the non-unlocking of the bootloader root that worked for 2.2.1?

This is the logcat as well

Here are the radio hashes contained in the OTA:
radio.img -> aa5ab6837c5ef4fe602ea8b5ee6ae544
mdm9k.img -> 373745d310240a57b8e360a40e648178
They match exactly to the leaked 1.13.605.7 radios.
So radio version, 1.16.00.0402w_1, in this OTA update and the leaked release is the same?

just because the numbers are same.. it may not mean they are the same. Remember one was never officially released. Unless they are taken apart.. one can't really say if they are the same.
Either way a flashable zip with the officially released OTA should be put out to flash over.

Well, that's disappointing.
I would agree since I run rooted RUU leak and I got random reboots. So if VZW pushes the leak as official OTA, then I don't see how they won't get ton of support calls on this from non-rooted customers.
Funny...after looking at the thunderbolt_instructions.pdf from Verizon's Support site, it shows the size of the update at 22.277 MB, but the other screenshots from droid-life are showing it at 35.649 MB...wonder what the difference could be?
