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?

if you want to keep root id suggest you wait on the update till its prerooted other wise you will lose root for good untill an exploit is found in gb
Yes, but sbf can still be done to root again.
I'll bet GingerBreak works on it. I've rooted a dozen of phones all different makes and models and versions with that handy all in one program.

This is false information. On the 23rd testers where contacted and told the test was not ready but we would be be notified when it was. So no need to worry about going back stock just yet.

Every android device could be rooted, practically if you know mac, or linux its just typing su (super user, and i believe it might be sudo (superuser do)) does that answer the question, if not then yes
No word about MP3 or video recording issues, either that or I just read too fast and missed it
I think the OP's question was, can he update, or will he receive an update notice if his phone is rooted? I would like to know this as well.
Also, I am confused or not reading a clear answer, will this version be rootable? I think it is 2.3.3...Gingerbread.
I like root on my X2 too much to update right now if there is no root.
Thanks in advance for any clear answers and explanations.
I am so excited I am going to start my sbf now. If they are posting it on their website they have to be really close with it.

I'm about to do the same!
Gingerbreak used to work for rooting Gingerbread but they fixed the exploit in the latest versions. So right now there isn't any way to root. Your best bet is to wait for a custom rom to come out with Gingerbread pre-rooted.
Anyone get in touch with p3 to test his modified 2.3.3 update.zip?
His tweet was about 3 hours ago so I am assuming he has passed it out to a couple people now.
my thoughts is that it didn't work and now he's keeping quite but who knows
I think he's busy he isn't on Twitter all the time lol
I tweeted him back and said I would test it but did not hear back.
He's out of town so probably busy, expect to hear back when he's not busy.

I signed up! I bet it is GB 2.3.5 or 2.3.6. With minor bug fixes...
Sent from my MB870 using XDA
I was thinking the same as litetaker. Moto and VZW just released some bug-fixes for the D2 and something else if I remember right. Probably the same with the X2. One thing I don't get is that they complain the LTE in the Tegra devices like the XOOM is what is holding up ICS since the WiFi version has it already. Basically the X2 is just a smaller XOOM and since it only has the CDMA portion why can't it run ICS. The Specs of my X2 are better than my Nexus S 4G and I have my ROM running 4.0.3 on that without issue. Being Tegra based they can't blame that unless there is something in the CDMA holding it up.
What rom are you running that is 4.0.3 on the x2???
Woot! Lets hope its a music fix finally... right guys? Right?
I signed up today as well... I am thinking the same thing... it has to be a bug fix update.
I can't see them getting ICS out this quickly considering it was only about a month ago when it was put on the 'might be considered list'.
Motorola might move that fast enough to get it done... but VZW is slow.
Where is people signing up at?

Thanks for the heads-up, I hadn't read about this issue until seeing your post. Motorola clearly hates their customer base, viewing them as sheep to callously monetize.
I don't mean to go all Richard Stallman here, but Moto can't be trusted--they let us know that with the locked bootloader. That said, the DX2 is my last device...and NO way will I be a part of this soak test.
Again, thanks for the heads up, cheers.

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.

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.

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!

Is it safe to assume the update breaks root?
Currently I have an update for 3.6 something but it fails every time...I think because I removed some apps like Madden and other "non-deletable" apps. How do i fix this so I can apply ICS?

You could try a factory reset. If that doesn't work you may have to fastboot. I'm curious about the "3.6" , what did you mean? RAZR doesn't have a 3.6 version number.
