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?

And how many of those things are 3rd party apps that still need to be updated for 2.2 compatibility?

I'm certainly not a developer, but I can tell that's what Acer has to update the program recommends ICONIA TAB Update Enhancement, which is responsible for finding the firmware update (firmware) that runs Android 4.0.3 and install it. For installation, you must follow to Google Play and install or upgrade the application. Acer company claims that after installing the application will detect your tablet once a new firmware and it will download and then install.
Why do not some of the plates are updated using standard tools, the company does not comment on the Acer.
Video, to understand what to do.

Vulcan OTA Preview is here!

If anyone wants to sign up, the Vultan OTA is available. It's a Developer Preview ROM for the Shield Tablet, Shield Tablet K1, and the Shield TV.
It's rolling out now for those of you that are interested.
https://developer.nvidia.com/shield-developer-os-images
Don't just go and run with it though. Be sure to read what it is, and what the point of it is.

Android 6.0.1 as well!

So the vulkan is the 6.0.1?

Do you have the OTA link for this update so it can be manually downloaded? Would like to try it ASAP once Talos Principle on android receives the Vulkan support update soon.

You have to supply your serial to obtain the update.
This way they can track who is sharing builds.
The Vulcan build is coming for everyone. According to nvidia it is obtaining certification before general release.
I presume this means passing Google CTS.
To access the Vulkan Developer Preview OS, please?*email us.Please include:Your name and companyYour SHIELD's 20 digit serial number and a screenshot of the Settings->About pageYour SHIELD's device model and nameFor technical support and recovery info, please visit the?*NVIDIA support site.

Hi !
Someone has received an answer ? How long does it take ? I sent my demand few days ago.

Received mine today and installed it, hopefully the 6.0.1 should make the device snappier and better

Received mine too
Édit : First impression with this update. No bug so far, everything is smooth. Autonomy is much better.

Is there a version of twrp that works with this build, or did Nvidia just get rid of the benchmark blocker? If you did get twrp installed, could you let us know which one? Thanks

Benchmark blocker is still here, I removed it.
For TWRP you can use this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=55446061
It's still a bit buggy but it does the job.

dont suppose anyone can upload a TWRP backup of system and boot of vulcan.

Dunno if this works, but just register on their website. They're very kind in case something is missing or went wrong. Also fast response. I admitted two devices which were accepted and got the OTA within a day.

Very cool! I had a feeling shield wasn't going to get marshmallow. I'm curious when the public release will be... Dunno if I wanna get the beta version yet?
is it an OTA once they give access, or a local download? I don't mind waiting a month or so if that's what it's going to take.

The shield has had marshmallow 6.0 for a while now. This is 6.0.1, still marshmallow, just an update preparing for the Vulcan graphics engine I think.

It's an OTA, that's why they need your serial number, and I've waited only few days to have an answer. I'm still happy with it.

I like how the Nav buttons separate in landscape mode for better thumb usage in this version.

I tried to get it on my pyro maybe it will override the killswitch :b

Does that TWRP work for the K1 version?

So how come I'm on 5.1.1 and it says I have the latest update? 6.0 isnt only for the shield k right?
I have the regular shield with LTE. I won't get the K because the LTE is a must for me.

I have no experience whatsoever with Honor devices in regards to modding, but I would guess that one could make a flashable zip out of the full ota update that you can download, and flash it through twrp

This has been installed already without needing to do rebranding.
Installed with hwota.
.has bugs and not quite ready for general use.
It has no Google app store. Gapps cannot be installed. Adb install is not working.
It is a true work in progress.
My.opinion for right now,. If you need to ask how to install it, then you will have issues to use it as well.

Happened on tubi tv app as well.

Update failed to install for me. I am assuming it is due to me being rooted. Shame, I'll have to see if I can root the update or if not hope a factory image for 10 comes out. Shame we don't have a TWRP and the ability to just flash the updates from there (so that we can inject Magisk again after an update).

Any issues?
Has anyone successfully upgraded TB-X606F to Android 10 and encountered any issues? There are several threads on the Lenovo forum, suggesting the following issues:
- Notifications not working
- Widgets not updating
- Netflix not able to play in HD
- Face unlock over sensitive
- Apps crashing
I've bought this as a xmas gift so wondering whether there are likely going to be issues with upgrading.

I have run into the the system UI crashing and certain video apps only playing audio. Notification seems to be ok. Closing my case no longer puts tablet to sleep. The face unlock seems a little wonky.

Thanks. Are notifications ok with non-Google apps? I read that only non-Google apps seem to be affected.
Also, is downgrading to Android 9 as simple as using the Lenovo recovery tool? Does anyone have source URL's for old versions of stock stock ROM's?

My notifications seem to be ok across the board

Is downgrading to Android 9 as simple as using the Lenovo recovery tool and placing it in the program files directory? Does anyone have source URL's for old versions of stock stock ROM's?
