Install the Motorola Droid FRF84B Froyo Test Group Build Now
The Motorola Droid update that was pushed to a select group of owners in advance for testing purposes has been leaked for download. The build is listed as FRF84B, and while the version up for download is not the official release, it’s about as close as you can get without an update getting pushed over the air to your device.
The bad news for many is that this ROM will require that your phone be rooted to install, so if you haven’t or don’t plan to hack into your device’s software you’ll still have to wait it out for Verizon and Motorola to get the update out through official channels. But that shouldn’t be but a few more weeks, right? We sure hope so. You can download the file here [new link], instructions below.
1. Download the FRF84B-Released.zip file to your SD card.
2. Open ROM Manager and choose “Install ROM from SD card.”
3. Navigate to the location you just downloaded the file to.
4. Tap on the file.
5. Check the box to create a backup in case something happens with the install.
6. No need to wipe data and cache if coming from another Froyo ROM.
7. Allow your phone to boot into recovery and work some magic.
8. First reboot could take a while so be patient.
9. Enjoy!
