Good Morning, and hang on to that DX2 folks: It will get an update and looks like its going to be 2.3.4 - no eta though.
Great news!!!

Umm.. Not to pee on the parade or anything, but this is hardly earth shattering breaking news.. We KNOW its getting 2.3.4 from the Morotola post i put in the other day...
This is almost like "HEY, The Sun MAY come up tommorow"...
I say we don't make any more "Were getting GB" posts, until, well, we get GB
Just playin people (for those with a low sense of humor threshold)
All news is good news.

Completely true, however he has insider sources at Moto - according to popular rumor. This news made my day.
OS 2.3.4
The X2 will go from a good phone to GREAT!
This could be huge for us!!!
A few weeks ago he started talking about 2.3.4 for the Droid Charge and then released a leak for the charge that was GB 2.3.4 a few days after he had acquired a charge to test it on.
For those of you that dont know, a donated X2 is in the process of being sent to him.
Move to proper forum.
The end of the world is coming, but no ETA...
Where is the link to donate?
Great and stuff but unless I can still have this bloatware off, and it runs better without Supercharge Script I'm not updating right away.
Am I understanding correctly that we will lose root with the GB update?

Without a doubt yes. Especially if all of the other OTA updates on other verizon phones held true to the same. I don't know if I'd rather lose root and get GB or wait until there is a confirmed root access.
I don't care if I lose root because it'll be back besides gingerbread is amazing

Ok cool, but no custom roms still disappoints me. Everyday it comes closer for the Bionic release, I get more and more sure that I want to sell this and get the TB or Bionic

Gingerbread 2.3.4 on the Droid 3 is really something else. Got one for my girlfriend and the UI along with the animations are ultra crisp and super quick. I've always been against Blur, but after seeing the Droid 3- I really hope the DX2 grabs that same Blur with the update.
I am more looking forward to the speed and knowing we are finally going to be able to take full advantage of the hardware we were blessed with..
Dual Core baby.

Right here apparently.
I have my phone rooted and a lot of bloat frozen with TBP so should I defrost those before doing the update and also undo root?
I'm new to android, so silly question, but if you upgrade to GB will your phone be factory reset / loose apk's / contacts / etc?
Or is it much like using the system only SBF?
Thanks

Is it an sbf? Perhaps it cuts out the rest of the process
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Pretty sure it just replaces the system partition back to stock and adds back any missing system apps then installs the pre-rooted GB update. Really shouldn't need to SBF to do that, SBF should be a fall back if you soft brick.
Hey guys, this is from P3Droid's Twitter, don't jump on any new moto updates!
P3Droid
Service Announcement: Don't take any moto updates the root path has been patched !!! You've been warned.
... Motorola wants businesses to buy their phones. I bought a phone with a freaking Tegra2 for freaking games and power. Not business. Besides, if they wanted to be business friendly they would have faster, better updates.
What The****
Moto there you go again.
I wish they would spend their time working on things that matter instead of this kind of crap. It'll eventually be root-able again but in the meantime, it's a pain in the ass.
From what I hear, Zergrush root method will root 2.3.5 devices.

true. but I wonder if any newer 2.3.5 leaks will have it patched.
I wonder if the forever root mod will hold up tho?
Motorola is pissin me off wit this junk for real
I am sure P3 would have tried Zergrush before he posted that.

Your right, if moto was putting their resources towards better development, they would have better/faster updates for all their devices. But they want to control how people use their devices

HTC doesn't look like they are going to be as user friendly for much longer. There is no permanent root for the Rezound yet.

Same here. Looks like my next phone will be the Samsung nexus prime. Unlocked and not Motorola!
I tried zr for 235 and it kept failing w/ win7 so I sbf'ed to 234 and used voodoo rootkeeper and it worked to keep root on the latest (1.3.413).

I installed roots keeper after reading another post. How do you restore your root with the app if you loose it? The app does not really say how to regain your root.

I'd jump ship too, but I'm already 6 months into the contract. I'd rather not spend the full price on a device. I'm sure some good brand new open device will be available in a year from now. Maybe the next nexus?
There is already a huge bug with the nexus that ****s with the volume. Apparently the shielding on the inside is bad. My Rezound is a solid phone, and after comparing it with a Galaxy Nexus, the Rezound is absolutely the better phone. I don't give a **** about NFC.

I hope u know that Verizon has locked down the bootloader on nexus.
hopefully it doesn't stay that way too long.
sorry
I don't have the issue. Not everyone is having it. Most people with that issue are having other issues like overheating.
Just got an email, 2:48Est, for a new Soak test for the X2? What could this be?
Go for it and check it out and let us know. You can always sbf back. How do you get on their list?
nothing was on the servers thus far, btw

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?

I never could find the sign up sheet. But then again can I run a stock rom? Lol don't think I can anymore. I will wait to see what's released and I am sure it will be on the forum soon and the developers can start using it.
Our luck its 2.3.5/412 or 413

Recieved the same email. Ill hold off since I see what happened to the original X with their latest update. Now they're stuck and can't even SBF to any older builds. No root? No thanks...I have learned to just be humble when it comes to updates now.

They can no longer sbf??? Wtf nevermind let someone else verify the update first. I don't trust moto they spend more time and money blocking root and development than fixing their own problems.

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.

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.

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!
So I'm eating crow. Yummy, yummy.
