Kinda strange? - Motorola Droid RAZR

I never go to Motorola for info, seeing as most if not all of their official answers are canned, but I was jonesing for some sort of gossip on ICS. Every support/forum link points to this static page:
http://www.motorola.com/staticfiles/Support/Experiences/Maintainance-Page/Unexpected_Downtime.html
I just thought a few things were strange:
1) what could have happened to bring the WHOLE forum down?
2) why would they have a timeframe set to be back up if it's "unexpected"?
3) could they be revamping for ICS support?
I know my conspiracy theories are more than likely just that: theories, but I wanna know... BAD.
I'm a patient man (kinda) normally, but I am REALLY curious as to how ICS will be implemented, and when since this is the first device I've ever owned that is guaranteed to get a major update.
I know we'll most likely get it mid-late Jan or early Feb, just tryin to stir the pot a lil bit...
My tab's Flyer than yours! Unless this is posted in a Flyer thread, then it's just as Flyer...

I found it strange too. I am registered there but got no notification. I do know they were going to go to a new forum - I think this week - but ran into a problem so maybe that's what happened. The problem was bigger than they thought.

It isn't odd. This is planned and at least to people wwith Soak Test invitations this has been known to be going on for at least the past week or so. Right now when I go on, it states that the move should be done within the week of the 19th. So far from the information I have received, they are hoping Monday the 19th that it is back up. This may or may not be the case as moving databases like that to new software and such can be a very complex and time consuming process.

Thanks for the info.
Do you know - for Tapatalk users - how we change our password? I believe Moto said we'd have to do that but I don't know how to change it for just one of my Tapatalk entries.

I am thinking you will need to click the Forgot Password/Username link before you would normally log in and use the reset password field.

Waiting for the "All Clear"

I was hoping to hear that that this TB GB bricking issue was identified so that we can go back to enjoying 2.3 in peace.
Is there any word on progress being made to identify the cause of the bricking and when that might be resolved? Are we just waiting for another leak?

I don't even think anyone is even looking into this anymore. It was an alpha release.
It would make more sense for the dev's to wait for a new release than waste weeks searching for a fix just to have a new release come out.
if they are still on schedule for q2, a new leak can't be far away
That's what I suspected. Hopefully it won't be too long, at least not on typical "Verizon Time". That's like waiting for things in dog years...

Feel free to ignore the questions, I just want 10 posts so I can post in the dev forum...
They were pretty slow on updates for the OG Droid. Especially to 2.1.
SLOOOOOW.....with many delayed promises......
I was told nothing yet still looking into it.

A lot of people went back, I'm thinking about it but idk if an all clear will come until there is a new leak (like others said) and it has been tested thoroughly.
I went back for about a week then last night the radios really went wacky with me so I reverted back to froyo

I've been waffling over going back too, so many people have & haven't had a problem. I had a reboot scare once before the announcement & now that I know what it can result in, I'll wait for a new leak

HTC "back tracked" evo 3d and sends documents to FCC

Are they even a credible site for mobile news?
Could that be the reason for the "delay" if there even was a delay..
Don't cry about putting this another thread or whine about another bootloader thread being made I'm not gonna dig up a old thread to post this.
If this is old new let it die with the multiple duplicate threads by not commenting or posting.

"Back tracking" to remove the lock on the bootloader was my suspicion the whole time. Begs the question, why not provide an OTA update to unlock it? This is going to be the longest 3 weeks ever

I was thinking it would be a OTA updated but I guess they literally unboxed hundreds of thousands of phones to do what we wanted them to do...
We win the bootloader battle but lose to the waiting game ..

Idk, I have a hard time believing they unboxed every phone to update its bootloader, but I guess we will know when our phones arrive if that had been the case, I think they'll be locked when we get them... we're talking millions of phones here.

hmm, well its a lot of phones... its not like its just a 5,000 phones (which is a lot all in itself)
and as far as dates go, that **** can get silly, the galaxy s vibrant was a bit screwed up for some people, volume rocker wasn't helping us get to recovery like it was supposed too.. and there was a whole big date time of frame where people thought it was the issue, and the dates were really odd.. def more than a week or two old before they were received.
Yeah I'm not saying the manufactured dates are all correct I also remember the vibrant button recovery problem
But if it was suppose to launch the 4th of June and now the 24th its not that unreasonably for them to do it...
When I worked at a plastic factory and a company sent back " bad or faulty" parts we would rework them in days where talking millions of parts...
They have the unlock codes and thousands of employees to do it... honestly in a 12 hour shift a single person could do a few thousand phones alone. Now times that by a thousand employees and a few weeks its done in no time

I would highly doubt that is the reason for the delay and to be honest, no one said the EVO 3d was delayed except for people posting bogus dates on this site.
It is not like Sprint said the EVO 3d is getting released on June 4th. It was all speculation that it was being released the same day as the original EVO and I have yet to see anything from Sprint that says otherwise.

The word "backtracked" meant they back tracked on policy. Before open bootloaders, then locked bootloaders, backtracked to open It will be locked when released, a OTA will fix it OR a "leak". Perhaps it may be unlocked when released, due to the real release date, when ever that is. It was never coming on June 4th like everyone hoped/dreamed. I mean it is just now getting sent to the FCC, you think they delayed sending off to the FCC for a bootloader? lol
Reality Sucks!
Just because they "back tracked" on the e3d DOESN'T MEAN THEY ARE UNBOXING ALL THOSE PHONES. It very well could mean they backtracked their thought process and it'll still be OTA. because it also states the "back tracking effect future phones. So I doubt for fun they are going to lock those bootloaders, package them and then un box them. just to unlock the boot loader. It didn't say that was the cause of the phone not being out or even a delay.
Folks this phone is coming when it's coming. I doubt there has even been so much as a delay. people really need to settle down. Its coming. HTC said so Sprint said so, and the FCC has paper work.

how do we know these phones were all boxed to begin with? more more speculation. Everywhere here just assumes they were. I doubt they box them up 5 weeks ahead of time just to sit around. HTC Sprint want this out as soon as possible (hopefully while making sure its a finished product) so they can start to pay for the R&D
God,i can't wait for the dev section. So I dont have to read this garbage anymore.

For a mobile blog they sure are behind with the news cycle...
Like others have said, there is NOTHING in this article that hasn't already been previously stated. The cost to HTC to fully backtrack the hardware already in the channel and NOT issue the update via OTA would be a joke.
Everybody just needs to chill out, be cool. We're all gonna be a bunch of Fonzies here.
BTW, the HTC EVO 3D is in the suitcase. Ringo gets greedy like some of us on this board, doesn't know how to be cool. Then we get into these stalemates.

Like I said before I know phones are not boxed 3 months before ... i just picked up a brand new white evo with a manufactured date of 1/17/11
A year old phone and the assumption that is was boxed for 3 months and sat on the shelf for another 3 months makes since.
But i also had 3 g2x's on launch day 4/15-4/25 all with dates close to a week before that.
I know Everything is speculation up until Sprint releases a real date.
A lot of us are sick of pointless triple posted threads with the same info.
This is some what "new ****" so before getting up on that high horse and telling people to stop posted crap you don't wanna read. And you can't wait for the Dev. Section.
why don't you point the finger back at your self and ask, why the **** you keep lurking the general section of a phone that doesn't have a official release date.

New email replies from HTC on the bootloader situation.

Came from a friend on another forum:
The bootloader will be unlocked, it's just a matter of when; we're trying to get it ready to release and hope to have this soon. Our official announcements, since this is a priority situation, will go directly to our social media outlets when they're ready (like the previous announcements). You'll hear about it when I do. I do hope that it is soon for you.
Sincerely,

The person who sent the email responded asking why other people were getting vague emails that gave no certain answer on the future of the 3vos bootloader.
This is the return reply:

I don't see any evidence that their definition of soon matches with my definition of soon...it is a relative term, after all.

I apologize for the repeat thread. Half these threads present have people up in arms and intending to return the phone. So I posted a new thread in hopes of lighting up the mood.

I would imagine it has more to do with appeasing partners (read: Sprint) than it has to do with technical hurdles...though I'm sure there is still a redundantly redundant amount of testing involved. Most of it is probably policy and politics than anything else.

Thats not how they are going to do it simple as that. I asked given xHausx suggested they just post up a firmware.zip on their site for those that wish to flash and get the ENG bootloader flashed and achieve s-off. Their response was that "...that is not the way they choose to fix the problem, and they will do so with a OTA software update.."
end of story is that it WILL get done, but there is no ETA as they NEVER provide ETA's specifically. And they do this b/c there is no telling what problems might arrise while developing the fix. If they said 2weeks and ran into an issue and got delayed then there would be another uproar tossed at them.
Also why when they say they are releasing a new OS update they usually say by the end of X qtr. so they have a TON of leway.

If teamwin does it great. However I would be very surprised if there weren't strings attached to HTC's solution and no thanks to that. If the SGS2 would be announced for a pre-September release date the 3D is going back.

Well, in if that happens in 2 months from now you and the 3 remaining devs will have a blast I'm sure. This technology moves way too fast for delays like this. The first 30 days is a given, return period, time to root, etc...but this time we are up against heavy duty security for heavy duty securities sake.
While I do exaggerate a bit my point remains. We don't have time to wait as much as you think we do...developers want to develop, and when they put a commitment into a device, well, not being able to develop a god damned thing for that device is kinda a turn off. Few of our best ROM developers are also the low-level guys doing the heavy lifting and intense probing and testing required to attain root/s-off...there is an overlap, yes, but most of these guys just want to make a rom or work on a kernel, and that is to say nothing of the theme guys who operate as creative talent before technical talent...
This is an elaborate ecosystem of skills and talents here. If you happened to be one of us lucky ones in the EVO4G community from the beginning you should know that it was a bunch of coincidence and a pre-release root (and the happenstance of Sprint getting its first kickass superphone--now a regular event)...so don't expect that magic to sit around waiting for this phone to be opened up.
I'm not saying it can't happen, but that there were a lot of factors that went into it happening last time--just having a decent phone and a forum weren't what made it happen.
Let me start by saying yes, I am dying to have root myself. I miss cm7, wireless tether, even stock themes, tb, and a whole list of things (my ORD is definitely flaring).
Now let me go on to my real point. All you "omg they have two weeks" people... Is the phone really that unusable as it is? My old hero, I couldn't live without root for overclocking. My shift originally ticked me off with crappy old sense, and then I didn't understand why they didn't make the new update sense 3.0. This phone, at least for now, is up to date, and blazing fast. Root is not a deal breaker on this phone for me like my past phones. And I hack everything... Wii, cr48, router... But I don't find it completely neutering on this phone like other devices

It's a very capable phone, I agree. But it has far more potential than it has capability...and I didn't buy this phone to only be as capable as the phone it was replacing (a heavily modded EVO4G) with the only difference that I can actually see is a resolution difference.
Sure, we knew it would come locked. I knew I'd have this decision to make. It's a very capable phone. But it is also capable of so much more...that's what I want out of it. My 4G was doing everything at least as fast and with at least as good battery life with far more flexibility...
...the only reason I am so impatient is for the reason I posted above. If it doesn't happen relatively quickly the spark will fade rapidly. I feel very comfortable in the 30-day window. But as the 30 day window closes I am not going to be the only one who sizes up this situation and has to make a decision...more important than me and you and all of the other users there are the developers. The ones who provide the value-adding goodies that we love so much...without them we just have a phone like a million other phones, excuse me, that takes 3D pictures and/or Video...the only differentiating feature really....sure, HTC didn't sell a device that was intended to do the things I want to do with it--but it could...until they made it so it couldn't specifically...artificially...
You might not get it...if that's the case, congrats, this is the phone for you. No regrets. Rock on. But for me and what I would imagine are the majority of others here that is a deal breaker.....
@daneurysm: very, very well stated. I'm with you 100%
my email exchanges...
I have purchased your mogul,evo,and now evo3d. I would like to say that I love the evo3d, its an amazing device. But, if the bootloader isnt unlocked or rooted by the time my 30 days is up, I will be returning it. I feel as though I own the device, and used my hard earned money to buy it, and like a computer I should have access to it. I understand the consumer doesn't matter at all in todays corporate run world, but this is my stance, as is many others. I bought it, I own it, it is no longer yours or sprints as I'm not leasing it, I own it, its mine. Thanks, maybe.
their reply.
I certainly understand that you're looking for the bootloader of the EVO 3D to be unlocked. This is indeed something that we're working on, true to our word. We don't have a date set yet for when the update to do so will be available, but as this is a high priority situation when there is news on the subject it will be posted to our social media outlets, like our Facebook and our Twitter just as the previous announcement was. I hope that it is soon.

[Fastboot Files 411] No promises

*** Edit 4 - it's the weekend so nothing happens on the weekend, wish I had more info for you guys. I updated because I see you guys keep bumping it and figured (I like to see anyway) if there is a status update regardless of if there is new info or not. It's nice to see someone is still "doing something". So the update for today is: I'm doing "something" but alas it is "waiting"
*** Edit 3 - Talked to a guy on their dev team today. He's getting permission to release the FXZ files for me. He's onboard, the rest is up to the flagpole (which is unlikely in my opinion, but I still have not been told no so hey)
*** Edit 2 - Still no word, will follow up with both contacts tomorrow. The word of the day is "Pest".
****EDIT update: I just got off the phone with another contact. Someone from the Motorola Dev team is going to get back with me. I was told that they are planning to release the FXZ files, and possibly there might be a situation where I could be allowed to release them. If this is so then I would do it through our publication's website (obviously traffic to our site is a nice thing, and I hope you guys respect that and link to us instead of reposting them). If not, I might be able to get them early. I would not be able to release them but I could possibly (depending on the agreement I would have to sign to get them early) be able to answer questions about them. We will see. I've really tried to go to the mat on this one so hopefully we'll get some progress. The good news is they are definitely going to release them regardless, and she told me typically it's about a month after release, (as we saw with the Bionic [i guess]).
I just used my press wand to make a request for the fastboot files for the Razr. No promises, but I wasn't told no. I'm waiting on a call back. The request will likely either be ignored or not granted, but I'm trying to help as well.
The reason I posted this is a) to let you guys know that I did this, and b) I honestly don't know which files I need if I'm asked for specific detail by the person that is supposed to call me back. So if someone who knows could tell me _exactly_ what I need to ask for (ASAP) that would be great. I'm expecting a call shortly.
From DroidTh3ory: 'It is the FXZ files. They are stored and accessed VIA RSS.'

If this is so then I would do it through our publication's website (obviously traffic to our site is a nice thing, and I hope you guys respect that and link to us instead of reposting them). If not, I might be able to get them early. I would not be able to release them but I could possibly (depending on the agreement I would have to sign to get them early) be able to answer questions about them. We will see. I've really tried to go to the mat on this one so hopefully we'll get some progress. The good news is they are definitely going to release them regardless, and she told me typically it's about a month after release, (as we saw with the Bionic [i guess]).
I just used my press wand to make a request for the fastboot files for the Razr. No promises, but I wasn't told no. I'm waiting on a call back. The request will likely either be ignored or not granted, but I'm trying to help as well.
The reason I posted this is a) to let you guys know that I did this, and b) I honestly don't know which files I need if I'm asked for specific detail by the person that is supposed to call me back. So if someone who knows could tell me _exactly_ what I need to ask for (ASAP) that would be great. I'm expecting a call shortly.

SBF is no longer used. They switched with either the DX2 or Bionic (don't remember which it was)

Yeah... I had the bionic... With the fzx files.... But we couldn't down grade the kernels/radios... One or the other.. I think... Lol.. Regardless razr is way better.. But I will sat this.. I did get better points on my bionic on cfbench t hen my razr... But then again.. My razr doesn't reboot, radio is better, doesn't get the black screen of death either which requires a battery pull... And my buttons on the bottom are all the same color and not faded or lighter then one or the other.. My bionic was garbage lol... And t his screen just can't be beat.. Love it..
although it is questionable that fastboot says "SBF" and not FXZ.
Bump^ man I hope this happens.. I'm really expecting it to not happen... BUT I AM REALLY REALLY HOPING IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN... Sure would be nice to have something for Christmas time

So, I searched the servers...

last night and this morning, on 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 and couldn't find anything. Anyone else having any luck?
btw, on 2.3.4 I didn't even find the 2.3.5 minor update, so I'm thinking Motorola has cut off the servers (because most of them were giving me back "servers down"). So that could mean 1 or 2 things: Motorola knows people are checking them and has pulled everything that we could get our hands on or 2. Motorola has taken things off the servers and are planning on putting things on there in the near future. (lets hope for the latter)
I'm going to keep checking the servers continuously until Moto says for sure we're getting the ICS update.
I did the same. I nand'ed to my CCrom234. Nothing.

The link in 0vermind's Cheesecake post in this forum no longer works. How do I get a copy of this app?
Thanks!
Just start going back in the atrix dev forum you will find it.
so now none of the servers are up... wth is on those servers if Motorola is closing them.
My guess is they've been moved. That, or maybe they are somehow blocking the app you use? Whatever, I'd be willing to bet they've caught on this. There's been leaks from them in the past, perhaps they are just plugging the leak.

either that or right now they don't want the their systems to be leaked. I was hoping Motorola would leak something, but I've found the best time to look/find something late in the night, probably around 2300-0000 or later. (this is all central time, btw.)
The bionic thread is a good source for news. Link coming.
IBolski I should have said bionic not atrix!

Looks like the app from the bionic thread is broken as well. I did find the link in the atrix forum and was able to download the file. I'm considering holding off on this since it seems the servers have been shut down or removed from the internet.
