The FRF72 patch of Android 2.2 for the Nexus One is now available for those coming from the FRF50 build that was leaked out some time ago.  No one is really sure yet what this patch does, but there are rumors of browser and Flash improvement.

Instructions…

THIS IS ONLY FOR NEXUS ONE OWNERS.  DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL ON YOUR DROID.

*Note 1* – You have to come from the FRF50 build or this could do some damage.

1.  Download the FRF72 patch here.  (alt link)
2.  Drop it on the root of your SD card and rename it to update.zip.
3.  Boot into recovery and let the magic happen.

Let us know how it goes Nexus One owners!

AGAIN, THIS IS NOT FOR THE DROID.  PLEASE DO NOT EVEN ASK.

Cheers to everyone who sent this in!

    and i thought nexus one already had froyo? So if its out for the N1 that must mean its closer to coming to the droid?

    HELP KELLEX!!! I flashed this on my RAZR and now I am stuck at the “M” logo boot screen and my Alltel boot sound doesn't play anymore. I even tried battery pulls, and found out I can't get into recovery. I am screwed aren't I? I think I bricked my RAZR.

      AFTER YOU PULL OUT THE BATTERY PRESS X, THAN USE SP RECOVERY AND WIPE DATA, THAN TRY AGAIN, SINCE YOUR MOVING UP TO 2.2 ON YOUR FROYO RAZR

      our droids recognize .zip files… you need an app for .rar files… on my computer i use winrar… it is shareware that works way past the handicap date.

Seriously what's with all the nexus one posts.don't even start with all the incredible information I have seen lately can't you tell when a device is dead, apparently verizon can, and we all know how smart they are. Keep up the great work man especially the saturday posts. Twas a bad joke but was still a joke

    What's the deal with “First”? What does a post like this accomplish? Every time I get a tweet I see someone that just posts First and no other informational value.

    Is this some type of contest that I'm missing out on, is Kellex giving out lollipops for being “First”?

    Just kidding have fun guys…..

    Official 2.2 ought to be coming soon for us Droid users, an update to the Nexus usually means the Droid is next from what I've seen.

      My girlfriend told me I need to become a man and take the initiative in things. So I take the initiative and comment first.

      Actually I'm kidding. However, I'll be the first to admit it, I don't know why we say first.

        I like the first battles. Sometimes you just need something to break the ice and it works nicely. 🙂

      Being first isn't a contest. I think Kellex should give out lollipops for 17th. Or 31st. Maybe 167th on the day 2.2. is out officially. And for future reference, Kellex, my favorite is cherry.

        But it is a contest. Totally a contest.

          Do I have to be rooted to be able to do this too?

            I do think a custom recovery is a must, although I've read on the interwebs that people have gotten it to work by renaming the file update.zip.

            Ludacrosse05

            There are a lot of stupid people on the interweb. I thought I needed to unzip the file and put the folder into my nandroid folder? Wait, I don't see a nandroid folder. Crap. Does that mean I bricked it?

          Kellex likes to abuse people. His hand has to hurt by now from hitting me so much. Though, I think I deserve it.. I just make him so mad!

            you know you did nothing wrong, abusers want you to think you did something wrong…that is unless you came out of the kitchen in which case this is me pimp slapping you 2x
