As you might have read Verizon has finally given Android 2.1 update to its users. You might have got the notification but in case you haven’t here is the way to do it. Android central has written the following procedure that will help you in updating your Droid to Android 2.1.
- Download the update from any of these links. [Official link | Link | Link ] (Note to Mac users: Don’t use Safari as it may try to extract the files rather than just download them.)
- Rename the file to “update.zip” if it isn’t already. (Note that if you’re using Windows, just change the name to “update” — without the quotes.
- Put the file in the root (aka main folder) of your microSD card. (You can pull the card from the phone)
- With your Droid turned off, hold down the letter “x” on the keyboard and then hold down the power button. You should soon see a triangle with an exclamation point inside.
- Now for the tricky part. Press the volume up button and the camera button at the same time. (This usually takes me a few tries.)
- You should now be in the bootloader. Use the D-pad to choose “update from .zip file” and choose the update. Let things run their course.
Done!….Note: Do not try this if you are not good and wait for the official update because it could be dangerous if you don’t have the clear knowledge.
