Worked for me, but honestly just root your phone its waaaay better! Because you can use the OTA 2.1 for your root which I have done and you can overclock your eris to make it run faster. Waiting for 2.1 seems kinda pointless to be honest.

Were you running the leak? No?
Verizon's Twitter has said that leakers should have the OTA today... Also those on the leak don't have root... So while you failed to add anything of value to the conversation we appreciate your contribution.
I have leak v3 and that's why I am hoping Verizon was telling the truth about ota

He never stated in the original post he was running leak so back off jackass. You actually added no contribution to this with being inconsiderate and ignorant.
To the OP sorry I did not know you were running leak, maybe state that next time, but hopefully verizon will push you the OTA.
I hope it comes out for you guys, even though its just v3 which you can flash over the leaks...but I wouldn't trust VZW's twitter page for accurate or reliable information.

Yeah I'm not holding my breath... I'm sitting on leak 2 cause it's been good to me and I don't want to have to reload all my apps again for leak 3 if I have to flash it. Here's hoping either they root the phone or Verizon OTA's something to us... Root would be nice but I just would like an up to date phone...

Can you explain how/what the check in does?
From what it looks like, checkin looks at your system and if updates are available on either the market or the ROM, it will give you a notice accordingly.
Hope that helps.

How can I go about using "checkin"?
*Edit- Nevermind i got it now
Just about 1 hour till its the 25th here and no sign of ota for leakers. I'm not worried though. I'm running v3 and have no problems so I'm happy. Google navigation was really they only thing I cared about in the update so I'm happy. Now if only they can get froyo working good. Too bad Eris can't do flash...

no ota
Well the Verizon reps on Twitter, informed us NO we will not see the update LOL oh well... I tell you though, I just recently did a factory reset just to see if things would be cleared on a few bugs (just a thought) and well now I have been hitting more force closes than I have had the entirety of leak one or two... Its stabilized out, but thats a little strange. Anyhow back to my original reason for posting, NO OTA according to the Twitter guys.

Well its not going to get any better for you. Its been said time and time again. V3 Is the EXACT SAME AS OTA. NOTHING is different. If you are on V3, you will NOT be getting the OTA. V1 and V2, I'm not sure about. But V3 def wont be getting it. Its the same.

Well I'm sorry to tell you this, but the OTA update won't downgrade your bootloader (I'm assuming you're a leaker). Even if you were able to apply the OTA update (which you can't) it still wouldn't allow you to root your phone. If you want root you'll just have to wait for it (which probably won't happen) or get an eris that hasn't been leaked.
I made it into the beta testing but after further reading realizing it would remove root I decided not to download. I get the pop up every hour now telling me to update. Is there any way to stop this from happening?

Not really the best solution but install the webtop hack lol. I have the webtop hack installed and I haven't gotten a single notice after being accepted into the beta program. Also if I go to software update in the system settings I get an error so it seems webtop hack blocks this crap.

The webtop is a seperate addon hack that Ken added into the gingerblur script as an addon for Beta 7.7 (which is what I'm on). To me it's worth having this hack anyways as it saves you the cost of the laptop dock or the multimedia dock and it has prevented me from even being able to be told that there is an OTA for my device.

I'm pretty sure I installed it but its still giving me the same error. Someone told me to download but install, reboot into recovery mode, press the four corners of the exclamation point and press reboot instead of apply sd:cardupdate but that didn't work for me as I am still getting the pop up

Couldn't you just install the update and then flash the retail SBF afterwards getting rid of the OTA and the alerts both at the same time?

If you are already rooted use TiBu to backup all your apps and data. Restore to retail SBF re-root load TiBu again and do a restore.

IF I was lucky enough to be selected as a beta tester for gingerbread for the Atrix.
AND I wasn't thinking and clicked 'download now'
I WOULD ASSUME that the amazon appstore would still working (a plus) - and a downside - I would lose root. IF I didnt' have any other mods running on my phone, and was using SU for titanium backup, reboot, MyBackup, etc. the update should install safely, but would kill root.
ASSUMING that I did that, would I have foobar'd myself... and root will be attainable again.
do you mean it looks different than the gingerbread that we've seen from leaks?
Just an FYI, Motorola does monitor this site, and as part of the NDA, it probably isn't the best idea to discuss it here.
Use preinstall method from what I've read it's the same update that we got off motorola's server.

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'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.
