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.

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.

*** 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.'
I am crossing my fingers nd praying for u to have luck. Just to add maybe easier to say factory restore file for droid razr. The files format is FXZ found via RSS

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.

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.

I know it's a week before Christmas and all, but it just seems (to me at least) that the forum(s) have died. I just hope this isn't' the end for the X2 and that there's still some dev action going on.
I just hope that I didn't bring anyone down, and I do appreciate our devs, and the guys working on 2nd-init.
Don't worry. Devs are hard at work. Although this isn't the most loved phone out there, we are working on it. Keep patient and we'll let you know when there are new things available for public consumption.

This phone mainly gets support from developers who have this phone and want to make it better. Other devs that develop for other phone pass over the Droid X2 because it has a locked bootloader. Which means a lot of the stuff required to run things that other phones can is locked down by the manufacturer. It doesnt give the Droid X2 a lot of options. This is why I appreciate all the devs who try their hardest to get the Droid X2 a little more awesome.
To the original post, it IS the holiday season and developers have families and all as well. They dont work for us. lol. But they haven't left us.
Is it just me or have the irc chats died down as well? Or have they just moved to another channel and I just missed the memo? lol

Look, I had my week of finals which absolutely killed my development time. But now that it's over, I've started working on the phone again. Yes, there was a LOT of excitement (maybe too much) at first, but don't say that development has died. Masta seems to think so too. I warned people about getting too excited about this right away but looks like it still got out of hand. I have officially started working on CWMR and/or CM7 again and hopefully can make some progress with both of them.

Now THAT'S funny.
Verizon sat on the 2.3.4 update for 2months "testing" and "quality control"
THEN moto did the soak.
If anything if it WAS scrapped I would see us getting 2.3.7 way before 4.0
And 4.0 is most likely a dream fir us.
They didn't even care how buggy the 2.3.4 update was. And they DEFINITELY knew about it.

The sbf leak was FOUND shortly before the soak yes...u r correct there.
BUT(I believe it was mentioned in the beginning of 2.3.4sbf thread) the date attached to the sbf file was from a month or two prior. Meaning that since the sbf WAS the same as the OTA, that the build was finished a month or two BEFORE soak was even announced. Which more than likely means Verizon was "testing"(sitting) on it for a long time.
Lol...and.nothing wrong wit some blue sky dreaming...I still have slight hopes we eventually get an unlocked BL. But I know chances are most likely not lol.

I, also, got too excited... but am thankful that you are still working on our beloved X2. I hope you did well on all of your finals and am pulling for you to succeed with this development.
Happy Holidays!!!
Let's also remember people that developing.. modding ... theming phones is extremely time consuming and what u get when a dev finishes a project is something that makes your device better or more customized.. I am not a developer because my knowledge on a lot of the cpu information is limited at best at this point although im learning a lot on this aspect... I do theme for the droid x2 and I think it is safe to say that I have spent atleast 24 to 48 hours of working time on any of the themes I have made... furthermore when embarking on projects and I can only imagine what this feels like embarking on a project as ambitious as what dragonzkiller and others have contributed to frustration sets in... maybe these guys get this to work.. maybe they don't.. maybe they go ahead and create new roms customized to their... bottom line be grateful u have people that make this phone better
Merry christmas

Unfortunately, Motorola is a bit overzealous with their phones (as they've always been, IMHO); they released 16 android devices for 2011 (as noted here And even with that they'd announced devices for 2012, with the new focus on 4G and HD screens, etc.
I wish I could say I'm surprised, but big company, big aspirations, they're gonna follow the money. I just wish that since they obviously are going to toss it aside, they could just give us everything. Just say **** it, we're not going to do any more go to town on it guys.

That's why I've sent an email to everyone lines in the Unlock Bootloader thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427802). It was pretty lengthy too. It even went to the CEO of Motorola Mobility. Not sure if that will get their attention, but if enough of us do it, then it could make a difference.
Has ANY Motorola devices (other than tablets) received an official ICS update? If not, Im not too worried. Once they start pushing out updates for ICS and time continues to go by without an update for us, I will start to worry. As far as an official 2.3.5 update goes, I dont care if we get that officially or not. Its not that big of an update.

The leaked one was not the official as stated before. I'm wondering were it it since we got the last 2 updates every 2 months.
I honestly think it's the end of X2 development, and I think it has been since CM10 A3 was released. What is your opinion?
Unfortunately, I think you're right. It has gone eerily silent around here just in the last month or two. Maybe people are getting their tax refunds back and upgrading and/or buying a new phone. My advice would be for anyone still on it, as I am, to download every ROM, tweak or mod for it that you can and save it to your computer so if you ever want to switch to another ROM, you'll have it. Pretty much I am resigned to only three ROMs: eclipse 2.3.5, cm7 and cm10. All other ones are way outdated.
Also I used to be able to post or comment, and usually within a few hours, I would get several comments or answers. I posted in the cm10 a3 thread four days ago and no one responded or posted after me.
I hope that second generation x2 owners will revive this thread because I will be on this phone till December.

I dont think unless a miracle happens and we get an unlocked bootloader and or ICS. As the ROMS get more advanced the harder development is.
i feel like what could be done with this phone has been done. there isnt really much more anyone could do. except maybe a beta cm10 . getting passed up for ics was a death sentance on this phone. i wont lie, if i had hundreds of dollars to throw at a new phone, i would. not all are this lucky though. im right there with you guys until november. until then, atleast we know that we have a few of us still here.
I definitely would port ROMs and fix them up, etc.. but this is my only phone at the moment, and I don't think Verizon would replace it if it all of a sudden became bricked from a bad port. Anyone know what they would do?
I'd say the phone is eol here on xda. Even I've come to a screeching halt on my kexec development. I don't see a future for anything unless I can convince someone I know to throw me a bone and I don't see that happening.

My upgrade date was a couple of days ago, and I traded in my X2 for a Razr Maxx HD. Got a $100 (Motorola) credit from Verizon for the X2, but I think that program will end this month.

It was a reply to the OP.
"Do you think the X2 will get more development?"
"No, it's 2 years old."
That's pretty straightforward. I don't agree with his mentality, but his post was perfectly clear.
It's not that the phone is 2 years old that we're not getting any more development. It's the fact that the damn thing is so locked down, we've reached the end to what it's physically possible for us to do with the device. Other devices, such as the Bionic are almost as old, but they're still going strong. (I actually haven't been following the Bionic that long, so I could be wrong. Am going to switch to one soon myself, though.)
