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.

*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...

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 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.
if VZW released the DX2 in Europe (possibly with an unlocked BL) couldn't we use files off that phone to unlock our BL? (if any of this was released, of course!)
Also, the photon now has their BL unlocked, and the DX2 and Photon are cousins couldn't we try their method(s) to unlock our BL? Unless that's not possible at all.
Sorry guys, these are just random thoughts that have crossed through my head.
I don't think we could because VZW would probably put a different bl on the Europe version. And I think I read our kernel doesn't have an option to unlock it any ways, so we would need a new kernel that gets past the sig check, then try to unlock it. Could be wrong though. Still learning this stuff haha

I think so. But I'm not completely sure. I need to go back and read the bl notes thread.
But there are ways around it, like the theory of 2nd init starting a different kernel. So maybe some one could find a way around and we wouldn't have to wait for the SBF. But I think the SBF would come faster, if we get one.

true, if the photon has a sbf that's been leaked then the DX2 has gotta have one as well, or at least that's a theory

the only thing on 2.3.5 we found was a faster non-delayed lockscreen, but there may be more soon!
afaik the only markets the x2 was released was the united states and mexico.
I could be wrong though.
In the many threads we have on unlocking the bootloader there is much discussions that have been beaten to death about unlocking using other phones methods. Bottom line it just isn't possible due to kernel differences and hardware differences. Check the "project thread" in development section for more info about why.
there was a LOT of discussion about it around the time we got the ATRIX ports as well.
And the ring able to start a second kernel after ours starts needs kexec to work along with 2nd init. I don't believe 2nd init alone will be able to start a new kernel. People had worked on kexec I believe but it didn't go far. We need more of a team to get something like this wiring but as of now we have requested a couple dev teams to help us out but were told "not working on x2 at this time....busy with other projects" or something to that effect. Hopefully we will get that leaked sbf that has our unlock one day....I did hear a while ago from a little birdie that an sbf was found that had oem unlock option but it didn't work/unlock wasn't implemented so hopefully we are getting a little closer.
**don't ask me where I heard it...and don't ask for any links for proof...I have NO proof for what I say....just take it as it is....believe if u want or don't believe if u want....either way keep your eyes and ears peeled and keep trying to find us that unlock option....this phone could destroy many others if we get unlocked***
I've been using the 198_6 sbf with no serious issues and was wondering if I should flash the 198_7 sbf. Are there any major enhancements or benefits?
Im wondering the same, Im from Ecuador so I use gsm. Updating will cause any trouble?
Funny, I tried to root like 2 weeks ago and messed it up. I put on 198_7 and my phone as been a dream every since. Bluetooth and Pandora work great. No dropped calls. GREAT battery. Web is fast. Facebook is flawless. Youtube is fast on 3G. Camera is great. Thats why I have "Root no more" in my siggy!
Can anyone see what has been changed in 198_7 compared to 198_6? I know Motorola has not officially released it yet nor have they provided any documentation.
Any guess as to why 198_7 hasn't been OTA'd yet? Do you think M found a problem with it? It was leaked so long ago...
sorry sjamie, I canot answer your question and likely could not tell the difference if I put my mind to it!!! All I can say is, my phone works flawless!
Dsims, did you have any problems with 198_6?

To be honest, I have no clue what I was on before. I rooted and unlocked @ 2 months back. 2 weeks ago EXACTLY today I decided I wanted CM9 for a spin. **** went downhill and Shabby gave me 198_7 and I have been cool every since?
Just keep in mind 2 things, most important, make sure you have 100% battery (I did not, had to cut USB cable and tie white wire to + and black wire to -. You cannot use phone to charge, I have wall charger now) Lastly, you loose everything, just like the day you got it from the Sprint Store!
Sprint/Motorola did officially release 198.7. I know because while in the US the update was pushed to my phone.

Loki hosts the SBFs if you want any of them in the future

And yeah I think you guys are right, last I looked at motos support page for the photon (3 days ago) it was _6 as the official.

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.

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.

That app won't run on any "leak." It only works if you are currently ON the update path. As soon as you leave the latest OTA (.181) you are technically off the update path.
As quite a few of you know, the .75 leak could fastboot back. Well the 2 latest leaks .84 and .85 absolutely CANNOT fastboot back to any previous version. Once you're on those leaks, you're on them.
There is of course speculation that once the official ICS comes out, we will all be able to get back on it and be on the proper update path. However, this is obviously just an assumption and is not 100% promised.
So let me stress again, if you install the .84 or .85 leak, you are OFF the update path for the time being.
If you DO or have already installed one of these leaks. I suggest flashing the "CWR On Boot" zip and making a nand backup. That way at least if something happens, you can restore your nand backup and be good to go.

What the op is saying is that the app won't even let you pick servers. Has nothing to do with being on the wrong version to pull an update the app never gets that far. It worked on .75 I tried it before. But on .84 it won't do ****. I agree with the op Motorola probably has found a way to block the app for now. I'm sure an updated version will come out that fixes this.

It's an app that allows you to connect directly to the Motorola portal to download the ROMs they're working on.
Some of our forum members "Know a dude, that's playing another dude, that works with the dude at Motorola" and his getting the ROMs to us so this community can do the real work.
I assume they're much like the Apple/Foxconn employees, afraid for their lives if anything leaks and ties them back to him/her.
So we don't talk about cheesecake for that reason. They say it's because people will brick their phone and then expect help, which is true -
Idiots will "idiot" all day long. But that's their problem. Let them flash it, break it and get stuck for good. They won't do it anymore. I can promise you that.
