This is a manual download of a LEGIT Virgin Mobile version of Froyo.

Very easy to do if you follow the steps. ANYONE CAN DO IT.

These steps do not work for rooted or previously rooted phones.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UWH9BVEW
Or try this one if that one doesn't work.
http://www.mediafire.com/?ngogdjf7e7yv7np

1. Click the link and save that file (do not unzip) to your SD card's root directory. (Not in a folder)

2. Change file name to "update.zip" (If the installation is aborted, try just "update")

3. Turn off phone. (Make sure phone is fully charged)

4. Hold down VOLUME DOWN+SEND+END together until the phone boots to the recovery mode screen. (Plug phone in once you're at that screen. If you leave the charger in before, it will boot normally and not to recovery mode. Also make sure the phone is fully powered off before turning it back on. If the keyboard light turns on when you slide it up, it is not off.)

5. Using the touch-pad (not screen), scroll down and select "update.zip"

Let it run and it will reboot when it is complete!



If it says "Signature Verification Failed: Installation Aborted"
Go back a change the name of the file. Try "update", "update.zip", or try making the U capitalized.
It has worked for some people different ways... I had to change mine from update.zip to update.



Hope it goes smoothly for you... Enjoy Froyo!




P.S.
This is not Sprint ROM.




*Thanks to the VirginMobileUSA fb peeps.

Well... You can't really.
Maybe just go on good faith.
Maybe someone will giive it a shot and post a comment telling you it works...
Maybe you don't go for it at all...
It's up to you but I promise you I did this last night. I am currently running Froyo on my Intercept.

The ONLY thing that can go wrong is if your phone turns off while the update is installing which is why you PLUG it in when you reach the recovery screen.
If it doesn't work for you NO HARM DONE.

I didn't make this up I got it from a few people.
Just someone please try it and comment so people will believe it.

All done!  Went smoothly. I renamed the file to: update.zip, put it on the sd card started in safe mode, selected update.zip and it's all done!  Everything works great so far!  I just need to get used to the 5 pages instead of 3 and the new options!

Sweet!  Thanks Tiff!

UP, Talk, End (power) at the same time. Three buttons.

Those worried about the update.zip being legit or not, Unless you have a custom recovery installed, it won't install because the package is "signed". If it installs, than it's legit. If it won't let ya, than it wasn't, and no harm done. Any changes in the file will change the signature, making it invalid, and rejected by the stock recovery.

The phones back button works now!...lol  Hell, so does angry birds, and very good too!


I had a hard time getting in recovery mode also, Just shut down your phone and hold down the 3 buttons to start it up....I had to try like 5 times.....I blame it on the beer...

2.2.2 sure did make the intercept a much better phone.  I like it...   Now to overload apps on the sd...lol


Back to my Froyo and Beer...hehe

What's going wrong?
Is it just loading normally?
Turn it off and wait a minute and then boot to recovery.
It has to be completely powered down.

I named mine EXACTLY update.zip

After I downloaded it, I moved it out of the download folder and in to the root of the SD card.


Make sure the update.zip is in the sd card. not in a folder.


Go to>>>My FILES, find your UPDATE.ZIP, press your finger on it and hold, it will give you a option to move it. Do not select a folder, just select MOVE HERE.

It has to be in the main root of the SD card for it to work.....


Badk to angry birds and my beer...hehe
