Froyo OTA Finally!

Just reporting that i received the Froyo OTA a few minutes ago. I have a Nexus one, rooted & unlocked, running frf72 rom from tesla. I was prompted to restart, and it went into the recovery screen, then it said installation had failed, could not authenticate. I assume this is because my phone is rooted and unlocked. I'm on T-mobile in dallas tx in case anyone was wondering
This is good news! Given you're not bluffing. It should still install even though your device is rooted, no?
So you don't have to dig through the thread
here it is!!!
http://android.clients.google.com/packages/passion/signed-passion-FRF83-from-FRF50.38d66b26.zip
so can you post a link to the ota download?
Could try to flash stock and see if you can update and dump.
Just logcat right from a reboot
Post the llog!
How does one go about discovering the Google server address to download the OTA? Just curious, but never thought to ask...

alogcat app
Is this real?
I mean if there 'was' a true OTA would Google have not notified via the usual channel? It certainly would be a good day for some froyo with Droid X announcement and a day before the iPhone.

adb logcat while you are starting up and then allow it to download
from a command prompt
adb logcat >> logcat62310.txt
would be perfect, then you can upload that TXT file for the experts to find the link, since it will be filled with garbage

EDIT: When asking questions of this sort, it also helps to know your country, as different countries are getting different updates at different times.

hihi...not that I didn't try
What is the logic behind the way the update is seeded anyway? Location? Serial number? Provider? Sun spots?
Whenever there is an update for my Windows PC, Mac, iPhone or NAS it's available for everyone at the same time. With Asus, users have to beg fellow users to share out the package...
Rolling out the OTA in waves is extremely frustrating to say the least. It wasn't until 6 days into the 3.2 update that my device picked it up and now I'm still stuck with that %$£ cursor and a plethora of issues with the solution so near and yet so far...grrrrrrrrrr
Same problem WW 8.6.5.9 would be VERY useful
In same situation.
Asus sucks with this cheap solutions
We need to go to a custom ROM
Much to my surprise, I have just received again and for the second time the update.
This time I took care of protecting her, and here she is:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0MPHJ1QF
Me too
EDIT: unrooted, applied the update, same error. Probably the problem are the buttons from the Xoom
Can someone please upload to a different provider?
Thanks!
Unrooted, restored the original SystemUI.apk file, applied the update, same error
Maybe is the booot animation file
EDIT: re-installed the 8.6.5.7 update from Asus website, applied the 8.6.5.9 update, it worked

I have just received it again via FOTA

Nougat is here for Verizon devices!

I look at my system updates, and I see this! I couldn't believe it! Nougat is finally here!
Just checked and received it as well!
Has somebody captured the OTA file?
Can we root the android nougat?
I had Verizon before. They are known for doing updates late and completely messed up. At least they aren't late this time. I'm just miffed that they dropped it before RETUS.

I had every intention to but I was so excited that I forgot before I updated. If no one else does and I can find a stock file to go back to MM, I will try.

On Verizon no. And probably never will be able to.
That sucks

You do not need root to read most system files.
It used to be in /cache but deletes itself after the flash.

I know. Since I flashed it, I couldn't pull the ota through logcat.
My update is having issues. Tried a handful of times and would get "update could not be verified" or something similar after the download would complete update. When it doesn't fail verification, the install fails after rebooting. wtf, I have tried the VZW/Moto software update program but it returns that I have the latest software. Guess that channel might not be updated yet.

Is it an official ADDISON_VZW or is it a RETUS device?

What is the issue with the Verizon variant for root? I am willing to commit a good tip for a verifyable process to anyone that can do it in a reasonable timeframe. Anyone else willing to donate to the cause?
The bootloader can't be unlocked.

The device is official VZW. I also have the " device has failed verification" warning on start-up. I'm sure that's not helping things either...

FYI, I was able to upgrade to Nougat this morning using the VZW software upgrade assistant.

So the N firmware is used by that?
Can you extract it somehow? Mac or PC?
