"root" means in the begining.. just open that drive and drop on there.. not in any folders.

Anyone able to get the non testing release?

https://android.clients.google.com/u...q.TC4-RC29.zip

The link doesn't seem to work anymore

Has anyone had issues with the RC19+RC28 link(first link)?

RC29.zip *is* the test release. The link was probably broken on purpose. Don't use it.

RC19+RC28.zip is the release you want to use. It is so named, but it is supposed to actually be RC29.

The other option is to patiently wait until the OTA gets pushed to you (-:

Ah I see...cool. I used the RC19+RC28 and it's great so far.

I have a new icon, it's a satellite at the top. Does it mean I have a GPS signal where I am?

For those that are getting the "file not found" error, I found this.

"Windows usually hides the .zip, so if you renamed it update.zip that means windows might have really made it update.zip.zip

Just name it update, if it still shows the zip file icon then this is what you want. I have my computer show me all extensions, this eliminates this problem."

Good old Windows(Vista in my case. I am a glutton for punishment ).

Update completed successfully for me.

Speculation may actually be its just a string that was left unchanged and is still the rc29, just wasn't taken out.

But would still like to have some one upload to fileshare.. i deleted mine and used the rc28 first

The link you just quoted is the test build most are saying stay away from taht one because it causing some 3 g issues.

well i know my way around the *.zip.zip problem, but i just d/l the rc19+rc29, renamed it update.zip, then copied it into to the "removable disk" root dir, then did a reboot while holding the home key and the power on key, and did the alt-l and alt-s ----->no good, i guess i was trying to make it harder when i used "android file manager" and saw a dir labeled /root.

Anytime I try to do the update, it says that it can't mount the SD card. Anybody have this problem, and if so a resolution would be great.
