I had a 1.01 firmware Scroll which had a few problems, and which I had rooted, clockworkmodded and build propped.
I wanted to get back on the "straight and narrow", and upgrade to latest official firmware, whilst waiting for better men than I to produce the ultimate Android 2.2 or 2.3 upgrade.
I realise this is not for everyone but in case anyone else is in the same place, this is what I did.
Note that I had already saved any data I needed to keep, what follows will remove all user installed apps and data.
Using terminal emulator, restored Gallery3D.apk, TelephonyProvider.apk, Mms.apk and Phone.apk
Restored original /system/build.prop
Restored /system/etc/install-recovery.sh (this will overwrite clockwork mod I believe)
Unrooted using z4root
Copied update.zip from storage options website onto root directory of /sdcard
Rebooted normally just to make sure the Scroll was still working!
Then followed the instructions on the storage options website (now in PDF btw!)
Note there is an error in step 6, volume down is the select key with the Android boot manager
All okay so far, screen calibration started.
No Market at this stage
Set up wifi, then enrolled my google account and accepted market ts and cs
Browsed to get.adobe.com/uk/reader
Eventually this brought up Market window with Adobe Acrobat Reader selected
Now if you go to finder and look for market it finds the market app
So now I have a "standard" 1.02 firmware system
No issues so far. Everything works. Touch screen, wifi (now reconnects automatically, didn't before), camera, market, video player (couldn't play mp4 files before), emails, touch keyboard, real keyboard, sdcard...
Settings shows the device is now called Scroll(SCR051624). It also has touch screen calibration which only appeared as an app before (I think, maybe wrong)
Have now re-applied the "battery saver" changes using z4root and terminal emulator (renamed Phone.apk etc) but have only temp rooted to make the necessary changes. I haven't applied clockwork mod or build prop yet, don't have a need to at the moment, probably will when Android 2.2 comes out of beta!
Overall happy with 1.02 upgrade.
