Download: Droid OTA Update Froyo Rooted Full ROM (FRG01B)

I woke up from my nap while camping and had a few notifications on my phone about the OTA update. I immediately downloaded it from Google, reflashed my Droid to ESE81, modified the OTA update and applied it (just as I said in this post). The end result; the official Froyo OTA update rooted and ready to go:

P.S. Sorry about the nap, I could have gotten this out about 4 hours earlier. I should have known I wouldn't be able to take a vacation without playing with the Droid...

Blogs, Forums, etc, feel free to post this on your site but please provide a link to my site. Also please use this download link:  bit.ly/otafroyo




Update (10:00PM EST):

 Apparently this post needs some clarification on a few different points. Let's start with the installation of this file. This file is for those of us who were previously rooted and wish to keep root, not for those who never had root access before. Simply boot into recovery mode and install as you would any other ROM (be sure to wipe data & cache). 

Some of you may have noticed already that I do moderate the comments on my site (hence the reason why yours may post a little late). Why do I do this? To maintain a friendly atmosphere. This is not a place to come bash someone, rather a place to become informed and maybe even learn a bit. The reason I went off on this rant is because of some comments users tried to post saying things such as "DO NOT DOWNLOAD OR UPDATE USING THIS FILE IT IS FAKE!", "You thought we were stupid Pete?", etc.

Haters Read:
I do not have time for your games and never will. Please keep running your mouth about me because it is great free advertisement. If you would have done a bit of research before trying to bash me on my own site you could have saved us all some time. Now for your lesson; these files are tested for quite some time before being released to the public, this file for example was being tested since 7-14-10. As with our previous OTA update, the build date is earlier than it was released. Think about it, why would a company test a file for one hour before releasing it to tens of thousands rather than having a large number of employees test it for months? Also, find a friend with a stock Droid running the OTA update, install Astro File Manager, navigate to the build.prop and open it. As you read the build date, look at him and repeat the following: "I am an idiot". Still in denial? I'll even give you the files I  modified to apply the OTA update over ESE81 so you can see it being patched with your own eyes!
