Nexus One Update Announced, OTA Begins Today (Updated 02.03.10)

February 2, 2010 in Featured, Wireless News

Earlier HTC Tweeted:

“Here is a rundown on the coming software update for the Nexus One. It’s rolling out OTA starting today.”

Apparently this update will include the following features:

Google Goggles Integration
New version of Google Maps
Pinch to Zoom functionality in maps, gallery, and browser! (This is a biggy :)
And better 3G connectivity (thank goodness)

Head over to the report site for more information:

PS: FOR THOSE WITH A ROOTED NEXUS, you might want to not get the OTA and just wait for the OTA to be incorporated into a custom ROM (in all likelihood it will be incorporated into a custom ROM BEFORE you get the OTA anyway, so no waiting).

UPDATE 02.10.10 -

For those wanting to update here you go!

If you are rooted (doesn’t matter what ROM you are using or if you are not using a custom ROM), go here, then download the download “With Modaco Additions” and put in on your SD Card, boot into recovery, Wipe, and Apply the update.

If you are NOT rooted and have a stock Nexus One, then go here and download the very first download under “ERD79 to ERE27 – official update patch zip”, place it on your SD card, rename it to update, and boot into recovery then select Apply Update.

Enjoy!
Thanks Modaco!

    i just have root and whatever i do doesnt work,
    firstly i want to mention that the google own update was firstly done through the phone. when trying to flash recovery image the device isnt being detected (no serial is coming up) but it worked when i rooted it.

  3. Ibrahim said on February 7, 2010

    My pc is not detecting phone in fastboot, just so you know i applied googles own update from the phone without knowing i couldnt if it was rooted. i rooted the phone no problems but im stuck now.

    Ok guys! great news! My rooted Nexus One is back to normal with the update! Here’s what you do! Just simply do the update above Update 02.03.10 Now after that the phone want be able to use rooted programs, so all you do is follow the same steps you did when you first rooted the Nexus One, it’s gonna say your phone is already unlocked. When it says that then you’ve rerooted the phone and all the root programs are now usable again! Peace!

    Tromain
    After you did the root, does your wifi work?

  6. Tromain said on February 7, 2010

    @Gotti If it the wifi doesn’t work then reboot the phone go bak into recovery and load up your rom again and it should work!

    To Unlockr and/or Tromain:

    I rooted my Nexus and put a custom ROM(Modaco)on. I updated my phone using the above procedure. From the replies above, I think I can reroot my phone but can I put a custom ROM back on without ruining the update? Or do I need to wait for a custom ROM that is update capatable? Also, if I get notified that I the OTA Update is available,do I ignore it or can I download it?

    Thanks, Dennis

  8. Tromain said on February 9, 2010

    @Dennis I would wait for a custom Rom

      Breck,

      Ha, I plan to do a review on the Nexus this week now that Google sent out an update, have yet to see a review that actually explains the benefits (like instant updates).

    hi unlockr.

    i have a rooted phone and i have no idea how to update my nexus.

    i rooted the phone so i can use a few apps that required a root.

    when i click to download your update file it says “FORBIDDEN” You don’t have permission to access /content//// on this server.

    also, what does it mean to flash the memory? i dont understand these terms. is there a step by step guide to update a rooted nexus? i saw a few step by step guides but they use language that i dont understand.

    please help me out.

    thanks
