Leaked OTA update from QA servers, found via project Cheesecake (YUMMM!) -- Thanks to ztotherad for the heads up that he may have found something, that's what started our chase!
Bootloader still locked. Battery bug still exists. If after flashing, it asks you to proceed to another (smaller) update (it shouldn't), don't do it. Consider yourself warned.
Flash over stock 2.3.4. Won't work with custom roms! Do not try!
Nothing really dramatic has changed, really, I'm just posting this for devs and whatnot to get their roms updated and such, but everyone else is welcome to install.
After install, you will need to root with zergRush. Now, I'm not sure if you can flash this in ClockworkMod Recovery, I haven't tried. Your best bet would be to throw this on the sd card, rename it UPDATE.zip and then boot into stock recovery and flash.
Changelog (not my change log)
Code:
1.3.412:
Based on 2.3.5 framework
Lockscreen dramatically optimized
Couple kernel changes (no idea what)
System is overall SLIGHTLY snappier compared to 2.3.4

Still no battery fix.... grrrreeeeat
I wonder if upgrading the kernel will mess things up with existing ROMs.
Will avoid for now until we know exactly what this does.
You posted to a different rooting tool. Does this mean Pete's Motorola Rooting Tools won't work? Sounds like what they did was cover up that exploit then and that's probably what this update is.
I've got to on the "SLIGHTLY" snappier quip in the change log. I'll stay on 2.3.4 with the Liberty ROM.
But thanks for the heads up!
Thanks for the heads up regarding this 2.3.5. I will pass on this for now too since my phone is working well with the Liberty ROM and I see no real reason to go to 2.3.5 if the battery bug is still there.
Maybe if that updated the camera app to the same one that the bionic uses or did some super speed tweaks, but i don't see that as being the case.
I will download it to keep at the ready, just in case.
With a leak ota for 2.3.5 its getting more and more likely that this phone will get ics. The razr which runs 2.3.5 will be getting it so some hope is there. Im hoping that the music issue is cured with this although I doubt it. It just seems to be a bug that will plague the x2 until its dead.
Thanks will be putting this on my phone.

Yeah, it's a reverse package, that takes you from 1.3.412 to 1.3.409 and adds a couple bloatware apps and binary files.. worthless. One of the added apps is only for moto engineers, so you can't even use it (Bug2Go).
lmao.. seems everytime I go to release an update, we get one of these

It shouldn't. This is only a very minor update from what we see and the kernel version barely budged.
Thanks for this, but i usually don't update to Android unless a number of ROMs are building off of it so I know it's okay.
A quick question, does this battery bug (I'm assuming the jumping after restarting is the bug) exist on a stock unrooted phone as well? I cannot tell because there's no percentage, but does the reboot/battery jump happen on stock as well on the X2?

I think it's across the board. Even my buddies ATRIX does it on 2.3.4 stock. He can be in the red and reboot and it will be 50% again.

This is a chinese update.zip I would not flash it unless you know chinese but it gives devs a good base and gives us a good start as we dont have to worry about signing the updates now
www.bandbinnovations.com/xda/DX2/update_signed.zip
Great news
Its still a lil too advanced for me to use yet, but the ball is rolling fast now. Has there been any word on the potential stable speed of the tegra when overclocked. My incredible was never stable beyond stock.
I did it it, and it was way easier than I thought it was going to be. Not going to bother with the chinese rom though. I haven't heard anyone say it was any better than stock, so why bother.

Eh, not rolling tooo fast, its rolling the same its been for the past week, people are just over hyping everything TOO MUCH, and that rom is practically an update.zip but Chinese (from what i gathered i may be wrong)
Im thinking of trying the chinese rom this weekend to see if I can muddle though the settings and change it to english. I dont read or speak, much less write, chinese. If anybody can tell me that this can or cant be done, let me know before I spend to much time on it... Please....

I got curious and decided to start looking at the files in the zip (one-by-one). So far, each file that I have opened is in English. Since the SBF does work, I'm wondering what would it hurt to at least give it a try and if it all comes up in Mandarin, then I can simply clean everything off and go back to how things were before. I'm not a dev, and I don't pretend like I could be one or know what I'm doing. I know how to flash, sbf and most importantly - ask for help when there's something I don't understand. I haven't seen anything (in the files I've viewed so far) that would lead me to believe that this is anything other than a normal ROM that the Chinese just happen to have.
If anyone else has any thoughts on this matter, please share. My curiosity may just be in overdrive and i've been hungering so long for a ROM that this might just be desperation and a case of huberus of the worst magnitude. I welcome all learned comments/suggestions on the matter.
Thanks in advance family.
If you erase data prior to flashing the rom, when you reboot, it will be at the initial android activation screen. It will be in chinese, but you can simply click the icon in the bottom right hand corner and change to english. Only problems I've ran into so far using this method is that the paid is that paid market doesn't seem to work. But with the new market available, you may just be able to install it over top and bring back full functionality.
Once I return home im going to make an all night attempt st conjuring something up based on this rom, I'll post it if I accomplish anything.

Now that is some MAJOR information that I needed to know. Thank you so very much. I will most definitely be trying this tonight when I get home from work. I feel like a kid with a new toy....is that bad? Oh well, can't help myself. Have to tinker. It will be interesting to see what happens during the next step of the test - seeing if it has the same problems as the stock version (rebooting when it wants to, powering itself off while in the charging dock, etc.) We won't even discuss Quadrant speeds or overclocking yet. I think that's the stuff I will leave to you experts. I'm a major novice who is a pseudo adrenaline junkie when it comes to my phone. I'm like Tim Allen wanting it to have "more power, grunt grunt'.
I'll stop being silly now and rather I will thank you again for the heads-up...it is greatly appreciated.
This is exactly the info I was looking for. I am not a dev either. I just know enough to get myself in trouble and then get out of it, most of the time..... I do believe we can just replace the market and if that is so that will be awesome. the next thing we are going to have to figure out is if and how we remove the chinese bloat.
About the issues affecting the stock ROM we have at the moment, from my understanding, the chinese one is basically the same. So the same issues may still exist...
I will attempt this tonight after work and a backup so that I can wipe and sbf to start from scratch...
Its great to see interest and attempts at advancing our current state of affairs, even if the progress is minimal. Progress is PROGRESS people!!!!
TIA
So I just flashed the Chinese ROM.... I did what c21johnson said and switched it to English using the bottom right hand button... After that its pretty much the same as usual, log in, configure VZW and Google access and then you get to the default moto blur crap that came with the phone... Some bloat has been removed, but again as has been stated previously some has been added... Two apps that are in Chinese that cant be uninstalled... Aside from that its all the same... I am restoring back to the backup I did before flashing the Chinese ROM as it is absolutely nothing special.....
Has anyone tried to overclock the chinese room? I heard its the same as original rom, but since its a custom kernal, it might be able to be overclocked.

Good question
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA Premium App
Does it really have a custom kernel?
If it does then we should be mining Chinese forums to figure out how because someone would have had to sign it with our locked bootloader. I bet its stock.

I've even recovered from a brick using the SBF and a nandroid recovery from the System Recovery on this. So when are we going to start seeing some ROMs?
Has anyone been successful in using this on a Motorola Milestone X2? I created this thread and skwoodwiva was extremely helpful in trying to help me out but it seems I still can't figure out what I might be doing wrong:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20295079#
Umm, someone needs to explain more about this. It doesn't seem to be anything that isn't already out for us, just it's in Chinese. I see no reason to use this or even have it posted here at all unless you can unlock the bootloader...has anyone tried that yet? I won't hold my breath on this btw.
I fail to see how this is different...our current recovery requires being plugged into a wall, why use this instead?
An oldie but goodie thread This is where our bootstrap came from...
That makes much more sense...I didn't look at the thread date, thanks mastafunk
New way to use this apk
Many thanks to Tenfar for the apk. This is the same but it is not installed form your file manager it is flashed with recovery mode already enabled.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426062
It writes to /preinstall , /system/bin and /data (just as the recovery mode-ON apk does) BUT NOT to /data/data (as the apk relies on). Also charge mode is not available as it needs to be recovery enabled in order to save "you" on a bad rom flash or data data wipe.
Why use it? You may ask:
With this you can now safely do a data wipe and still reboot into cwr by just flashing this as the last step before "reboot system now" it will save you from SBFing if anything keeps you from booting.
System Recovery to requires you to have a WALL CHARGER being plugged into the computer will not work

Some Have Said You Just Need The Bloat, But Which Bloat Programs Isn't Specified. I Told Another Guy SBF Is The Sure Fire Way Of Knowing You'll Get The Update.
The only bloat I uninstalled were the games, golf & nfs I think. Thought they'd be safe cuz the os allowed their removal.

half to ensure the update, and half to try it out and make sure sbf works correctly.

I realize that the idea of this never being rooted is wildly unlikely, but we can go back to froyo with the sbf we have now correct?

The above Tweet from Verizon's support staff confirms that the Gingerbread/Android 2.3 update may begin rolling out as early as today for the DroidX2. This newest version should be coming to your DroidX2 within the next few days, and it includes the same version of Blur that can be seen on the DROID3 and Bionic. It also includes a series of bug fixes to improve many aspects of your device. You can see Verizon's .pdf file detailing the update,

"Even though the official rollout starts today, and a select few will probably start getting it, from the status of the Motorola focus group's soak test, it's likely that the full mass rollout may not start until Friday."

Not if you don't agree to Moto's terms and agreement at setup... or if you just remove or freeze the account apps when you do get the sbf up and running.
I SBF'ed and then rooted, installed recovery and made a a backup with all the bloat included... That way I can just use that backup, uninstall recovery and unroot and be good to go...
Matt from the motorola forums said:
So, the tweet actually says "Ginger bread is being pushed out systematically to our Droid X2 customers starting today."
"I think the key words are "pushed," "systematically," and "starting." To me that means you won't necessarily be able to pull it, since it says push. Systematically suggests that as usual, it will start small. And there are still a lot of hours left in the day for it to start."
Can't post link so copy and paste in browser and delete spaces in the link.
http s://supportforums.motorola. com/message/435399#435399
So it's probably a good idea to SBF to stock or restore a stock backup to get the update? Not really caring about root now, I just want to see if Gingerbread makes this any faster. That will be the thing deciding whether I keep this or sell it and get the SGS2

I would be careful and not count on this. The Atrix one that just came out has a new bootloader and when people try to sbf to froyo it HARD bricks their phones. Go google and checkout atrix forums to see for yourself. Very serious. We don't know for sure at this time one way or the other how it will go with the x2.
Having never owned a device that had a bunch of bloatware on it or any Motorola smart phone, is it recommended to unroot/sbf if all i have done is freeze the recommended apps?
Wouldnt an OTA just rewrite everything I did anyways so it wouldnt matter?
Ok guys. So I was excited like a school girl waiting for a Justin Bieber concert when the sbf for the latest 2.3.4 OTA was released. I rushed to my wife's windows laptop and started up RSD lite, loaded up the sbf, and plugged my phone while it was on thee RSD Protocol mode. A bit of background info first, I had been running the 2.3.3 stock since I got the phone over a month ago. I had painstakingly removed all the bloat and was very happy with the way my phone was running. I had a DINC before and I was appreciating the bigger higher res screen. Anyways, so I though when you install sbf on your phone, it takes it back to factory stock with the root gone (obviously) and with all the bloatware and crapware back on the phone. So anyways, I use the 2.3.4 sbf and install it on my phone. The phone reboots normally and I am quite happy. But when I unlock the phone, it is exactly as I left it before. With the zeam launcher and all the apps I had. The only thing that was missing was the superuser app. So I knew something had changed but what? So I check the phone specs and what do you know, it has android 2.3.4 on it. I also notice less lag and improved scrolling, also the task manage icon has changed. But I knew the root was gone, so I use Pete's one click method to get the root back. But I am still confused on why did the phone not go back to complete stock despite the fact that I sbfd it to stock. Does anyone have a clue?
You put 2.3.4 on your Droid X2? And its actually working?
EDIT: Would kinda make sense....why else would there be a soak test??? Will be waiting to see if anyone else has any knowledge of this. If it holds true, then you made one heck of a find I think...
Yup. 2.3.4 working and more stable. I should mention that I did not wipe before doing the sbf because i thought sbf would wipe everything.

i have attached the screenshot if you need further proof.
You went from stock 2.3.3 to stock 2.3.4 and things look the same but lost root? That's typical...the same happens if you get an ota. It's not like you rolled back a version forcing you to clear data/cache. All you did was updated your already stock to an updated stock. If you want the stock experience then wrote data/cache. Trust me, nothing freaky about this.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Yea, I think you have to wipe first. I don't think it clears \data\ which is the partition that contains the apps.
I'm pretty sure it wipes and overwrites several of the other partitions such as \system\
Yeah. That makes more sense. Because earlier when i tried to run a script on 2.3.3 and messed everything up so i tried to sbf and everything was gone. But it makes sense.

When 2.3.3 was released I sbf'd and installed, having all my stuff stay. Been using it since then, no problems.
Its not an "OTA" he got the leaked SBF in the Dev section. REASON WHY IT CAME BACK TO HOW IT WAS!! when you add your google account, there is a small check box saying backup your apps/data. This is a quick way for you to sorta "nandroid" your phone when you factory reset. As of gingerbread 2.3.3 you could backup that data in the google servers... If you like 99% who don't stop and read lol just saying .. you wont see the box and it automatically has it checked. Just to let you know your not going crazy or anything. btw the leak is amazingly better than 2.3.3 with the blur. Looks the same just about, BUT the performance is over 9000 times better.

Like all of the SBF's we have for this phone, they are system only. Meaning they only carry the system apps inside of it. They will not affect your data/apps. They will have overwritten the apps that are in the system folder only. Yes you have lost root, but you can get it back. It's only a matter of what is contained on the SBF.

Incorrect. You get your data/apps back from your google account upon adding your google account UNLESS!!!! you untick the box in the beginning. This sbf touches more than system.

Enable USB debugging, install Java and the Android SDK, then run "ADB pull /system" from the command line. Don't need root to do it. You'll need a bit of a crash course in using ADB if you haven't before, though - an hour or so trawling Google ought to do it.

No trouble, always happy to do what little I can. Have been keeping a close eye on the Ic3RAZR dev work, hopefully there's some helpful libs & such in here.
The GSM ICS OTA is very alpha and highly unstable, even though everything 'works', it does so to varying degrees and tends to freeze and/or reboot frequently. From what I've read, dhacker & hashcode's progress on Ic3RAZR is already more stable.
Be nice to get more of the snazzy-looking CDMA ROMs ported to the GSM RAZR at some point.

I guess Moto's definitions of usability differ from my own. I did find the shipped 2.3.5 en.EU firmware to be the buggiest officially released ROM I've ever used (What with all the overheating, mediaserver loops, and phone FC's when rebooting with wifi turned on), so there's precedent. Heh.
That said, I'm really excited about what a more stable and developed ICS upgrade will bring. Moto have certainly put more effort in than Samsung have been, there's heaps of new functionality in there rather than just being the same thing with a different version number. Adds to the ICS experience rather than detracting, for the most part.
And FINALLY, there's a stock 1x1 calendar widget that blends in with app icons.
Did you know that the Razr was supposed to be shipped with ICS and unlockable bootloader?
That's why moto has been so fast to adapt blur... In reality they weren't fast at all!
And well if I can give my two cents.. Huawei devices and some other unknown oems have already got ICS officially..... :/

Interesting! Suspected that might be the case, since the Gingerbread build is so similar to the Droid 3/Bionic, and most of the changes they've made have been very ICS-inspired - camera on the lockscreen, dismissable notifications, et cetera.
Really is a strange device, last minute decision to launch a GSM 'variant' and all.
I installed CM10 on my Droid X2 and I just couldn't get past the screen sensitivity -- everything was jumpy to the point where the phone wasn't usable. Is this something others have noticed, too? Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity?

What do you mean it was jumpy? Are you saying it is too sensitive? I dont know of any way to adjust it but I have no problems with it.

Yeah, way too sensitive. Damn, maybe it's just my Droid X2. I'd scroll up an down and it was just super sensitive, moving up and down at the slightest touch.

Also -- the screen seemed to flicker way more. I think some of it was intentional (the screen dimming and brightening). As much as I liked the look, I went back to CM7.
I haven't noticed any screen flicker, or too sensitive touch
It has seemed less sensitive, to me
You are not the only one. Had same thing on my DX2. It happened 4-5 times.
I just kept trying to get "power off / reboot" screen and reboot. After reboot everything was good.
Also had faster battery drain, purchased a 3600mAh and it would almost last 10 hours on CM10.
Two days ago went back to CM7, battery will last 14-16 hours with same usage.
Going to wait for next CM10 release to try again.

You guys need to understand that this ROM will never be perfect. Even the next update will have issues.
Understand, also understand ANY ROM can have issues, including Vz ROMs.
It's about what works for each person, in this case I am waiting for the next release, please don't get defensive because we had issues. They happened, no big deal, we have made decisions to move back to CM7.
I happen to think DZK has done a great job with CM10 and I will be moving back.

Oh I'm not being defensive. Sorry to come off that way. I just see that you guys are newcomers to the forums. A lot of newcomers have been posting about issues not understanding that our Droid X2 is not like other phones that get custom ROMs. Our CM10 is not really complete and most likely never will be because motorola hates us and doesnt want to unlock our bootloaders. If you guys are new to the DX2, I didnt want you expecting a full featured bugless ROM like, lets say the Galaxy Nexus would get. Even though its CM10, we are running it on a Gingerbread Kernel which will always cause issues. That, along with not being able to change or update the drivers doesnt help. Thats why I said even the next update will most likely have the same issues. Most of us just chose to deal with them.

I wasn't aware of the Motorola situation when I purchased the DX2, but quickly found out. I came from the Samsung world (Fascinate) as my last device and it seemed custom ROM's were very easy. With the DX2 it has been anything but easy. But for now really happy with the device overall and the CM10 ROM will make it great. The primary reason for my move back to CM7 was a call issue that seems to be well documented. If it isn't corrected with the new version of CM10 I will make adjustments and stick with it. Also the DX2 community here on XDA is great.
I haven't had the any call issues, but I make/receive very few calls
mostly texts and emails

Hey there -- just wanted to also say that I hope I wasn't coming off as a complainer (which probably meant I was!). I'm totally and absolutely grateful for all of dragonkiller's work on porting CM. I HATED my Droid X2 with BLUR -- and it has been a great joy to use since I switched to CM7.2.
I do wonder, though, that Jellybean requires a more powerful processor? CM10, outside of the sensitivity issue, felt slower in every way. I just may keep CM7.2 on this phone forever -- it's just a great ROM.
If JB felt slower to you then something is wrong. Did you install it from a clean 2.3.4 SBF?

Actually upgraded from CM7 to CM10 first time. Since moving back to CM7, I did an SBF with a clean install of CM10 and things are MUCH BETTER. Not going back at this point. This is only day two, but things are good. I did figure out that when I installed an app that CM10 did not like the screen started acting strange, but getting rid of the app and rebooting solved the issue.
I did end up with one strange problem, still working on it. I used Titanium to restore most of my apps, but wanted to do a clean install on Flash Player. So went in found the apk from my file mgr, selected "install", went to what I call the Android Install screen with two buttons at the bottom (Cancel & Install), tried to select the Install, nothing happened. I do have "Unknown Sources" checked in Security. I have tried other apk's just to test and none seem to work. Tried to move the apk's to the SD0 card, and that had no effect either. The strange thing, I had Flash Player working before going back to CM7.
