Use this thread to report your successful Gingerbread update.
Thanks and good luck!
OP: Have you received the update? Or just setting up a thread for it. I'm in NYC and haven't received it yet. I did just get the email though from Motorola.
No, sorry.
No I didn't get any email.

How are you getting emails for updates? I've never gotten an email about any updates for this phone, Droid 1 or Droid x.
You have to be part of the motorola owners forum soak test application to get the email updates. I got mine 3+ hours ago.

Wow this is a really misleading title.... Anyway if we do get the update it wont be till tomorrow sometime during the day.
Yes i was just talking about the email.. There have been NO releases, and honestly those that do get it are binder by an NDR so they really aren't suppose to talk about it..
Im sure it will be out latest tomorrow. My phone is ready to test.
Misleading title is very misleading...
Amazingly fast!

wow gingerbread is amazingly fast on this phone only thing im noticing is that we were supposedly getting the same blur as the droid3 but its not (seems like less blur widgets and no animations?) but yeah, wow
Successfully installed. I had frozen a bunch of stuff and I was rooted. Before I installed the update I defrosted everything, unrooted and then uninstalled gingerbreak. I had no problem updating and I've never had to SBF my phone. Hope this helps. YAY GINGERBREADS ! ! ! <3
Any word on if the supercharger script interferes with anything?

Was gingerbreak successful?
Wasn't successful for me or anyone else posting about it so far. :-(
I am on 45.3.5 and I'm rooted, is there any way to manually push the OTA?

I'm also having the same problem... Only I'm running a mac so that link is worthless to me.

Update via wifi. It will show right up
Not quite... I downloaded it and tried but the update fails. Can't figure out how to get the detailed error message people have shared about it.

Go back to build 154_5 by flashing via RSD and try updating again.

When it gets to the Android guy and progress bar hold down both volume up and down at same time.
Just an FYI....according to the Motorola Forums there is an issue with the latest update which isn't allowing some to take it successfully, even if unrooted/stock. Sounds like there is a fix in the works. Best bet is to either do the SBF or flash to older stock and try the to take the update.
**Edit.....tried flashing to Juggs update.zip (154_5) and still couldn't take the pushed update which tells me there might be something wrong on Moto's end. Anyways, gonna SBF to 154_5 just to make sure and then try again. If official doesn't take gonna SBF to newest version (same thing anyways).
**Edit #2...SBF'd back to 154_5. Was able to take both updates pushed to the phone successfully and am now on 198_6.
Thanks CCallahan, glad someone knows what they're talking about. I guess I will have to wait for the next one, don't want to fuss with ROM flashing.

Oh man..no matter what,I do believe that you got the OTA.. So chill and yeah don't feel bad...

I swear man I'm sorry if I came off as flaming you but those are still not proof. I got the same exact popups using the Cheesecake app as did everyone else. If you could upload a video of you going to System Settings>About Phone>System Update then have the popup come up, I'll believe you. Sorry but no I do not believe that out of everyone that owns the Maxx on this site, that you're the only one who got the OTA. Not for a second, the soak test hasn't even started yet which means Verizon hasn't even cleared the OTA yet.
The download just failed and here is the notification askimg me to install again

So if it IS indeed the OTA, why has it failed on you like 2 or 3 times now? Again, not trying to be mean or anything, just want some clarification on it is all.
So is big red pushing out the ota

Dude you need to lay off. He's nice enough to report he got the update, and even nicer to say he'll upload it. Why would he lie? What would he have to gain? He doesn't have to live up to your expectations.
And by the way, you could fake the method you posted, after changing your server in Cheesecake to 100, you can get the update prompt by going in to about phone > update.
Why would he lie about it? Its a software update on a phone, not a life changing experience.

I don't have an opinion about whether he received the update, but lots of people lie all the time about anything. Also, it was April 1st. I think skepticism was justified. You're welcome to believe everything you hear.
My girlfriend got an update notification yesterday on her MAXX too, but it only took her to 2.3.6, not 4.0.*
I wouldn't be surprised if Verizon is testing with a few to see if there are issues with such a big update, but it would be known testers IMO.
Hoping its the real thing.

Janker. Why don't you go back to stock through Matt utility and try updating again. I wonder if the boot strap recovery blocking it. Cuz all you did was delete the the recovery apk
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
NO! I SHALL NOT BELIEVE THIS!!! Jk, people on the web are such dicks lol, good for you getting legit 4.0, I'm still stuck on 2.3.5 kernel lol
Lots of people believed this guy too. I was not one of them.

There are a lot of gullible people in the world.
I believe you, but if you want to make those of little faith eat some foot, (and make the rest of us super happy), drop the update.zip, it'd only take a quick adb pull , and I agree, you'll probably have to flash back to stock recovery, try using the voodoo ota root keeper to hide/recover su access and keep us updated!
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
Seems there are always one or two people that get the OTA's early when they set it up for testing. Dude, if you got it, congrats!
I'm not sure I remember seeing it mentioned in your original thread, but did you sign up on the Feedback network for the SOAK tests, or was this just "random"?
Thanks for the pics. So it did happen. But you posted incredible news on April Fools Day. What did you expect? I once told a friend of mine some really good news April Fools Day. The problem is I am a big jokester. He refused to believe me. The thing was I didn't even realize it was April Fools Day!
So I'm eating crow. Yummy, yummy.
Now I'm getting this:
Check for update is not available at this time.
Try again later.

I rebooted and got the same error.
Could you please post a screenshot of the about screen, please? It's seems that is what people want to see to compare to the cheesecake method. Please, and thank you.

Cool man . Good luck with installing that doesnt work form me anyway as my razr is xt910 .. and my Droid 3 got forgotten by vzw ..
It was maybe a test push of the ota or the Soak . But got pulled so anyone else has it.
And as you were already downloading it let you finish..
Very nice indeed.

I'm holding off on the 2.3.5 update however, almost every time I unlock my phone it's asking me to update. Is there a way to turn off the nag screen?
Thanks!
I've heard that the 197_8 SBF will not get OTA updates, but it's only a rumor. Can someone confirm it so that Magnus579 will have a solution?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777184
if you are rooted you can use titanium backup, or any other app that can manage all of the applications like rom toolbox, and go into the applications and freeze the one that says updater 2.3.4
Root App Delete from the market solved the issue. It allowed me to "Disable" Updater 2.3.4 which is listed under "Sys Apps" in the application.

So this morning the Easter bunny left me a present... My AT&T LGOG says software update available. Does anyone know if the bunny dropped off Jellybeans or just another egg?
I was trying to get a screenshot of the useless message, but the update tried to install and the phone rebooted. Then the firmware update screen reported a failure. After reboot my phone still works on ICS. I'm going to take a backup now and be safe as long as the update doesn't update recovery/bootloader...
Turns out my screenshot worked after all.

It's just the E97011c update people got back in December ...
What are the changes?
Got the same update notification but when I tried to install it, gave me a error message because I'm rooted. Was hoping it will be jellybean.

It isn't I woke up and installed it hoping it would be JB, turns out it is a minor update to 11c that was handed out to a lot of people in December.

Was just wondering that. My E970 is rooted on the stock ROM. Doesn't seem like the update does anything useful.

were you rooted? If so, did you lose root or anything else for that matter?

Darn, I was thinking it would have been quite funny if AT&T released a candy named update on a holiday associated with said candy...
Yep, I am still on 10o so this is just the step to 11c.

Yes. Can you re-root it?
I'm on stock & rooted. Not unlocked.
Update notification went off this morning; read some of this thread; told it to let me know again in 8hrs.
Just went off again, I said ok, whatever, told it to update. It rebooted, & now it's just sitting there at the white, "rethink possible" screen.
Key combo reboot actually got it into the "software update" screen, but that then error'd at 1% complete. Error was something like, "01X03fed." It disappeared too quickly while I was typing this. Rebooted again, fully this time, and a, "Installation interrupted" warning is showing.
Hopefully the update notification will be gone, too...
