Use this thread to report your successful Gingerbread update.
Thanks and good luck!
OP: Have you received the update? Or just setting up a thread for it. I'm in NYC and haven't received it yet. I did just get the email though from Motorola.
No, sorry.
No I didn't get any email.

How are you getting emails for updates? I've never gotten an email about any updates for this phone, Droid 1 or Droid x.
You have to be part of the motorola owners forum soak test application to get the email updates. I got mine 3+ hours ago.

Wow this is a really misleading title.... Anyway if we do get the update it wont be till tomorrow sometime during the day.
Yes i was just talking about the email.. There have been NO releases, and honestly those that do get it are binder by an NDR so they really aren't suppose to talk about it..
Im sure it will be out latest tomorrow. My phone is ready to test.
Misleading title is very misleading...
Amazingly fast!

wow gingerbread is amazingly fast on this phone only thing im noticing is that we were supposedly getting the same blur as the droid3 but its not (seems like less blur widgets and no animations?) but yeah, wow
Successfully installed. I had frozen a bunch of stuff and I was rooted. Before I installed the update I defrosted everything, unrooted and then uninstalled gingerbreak. I had no problem updating and I've never had to SBF my phone. Hope this helps. YAY GINGERBREADS ! ! ! <3
Any word on if the supercharger script interferes with anything?

Was gingerbreak successful?
Wasn't successful for me or anyone else posting about it so far. :-(
Anyone get in touch with p3 to test his modified 2.3.3 update.zip?
His tweet was about 3 hours ago so I am assuming he has passed it out to a couple people now.
my thoughts is that it didn't work and now he's keeping quite but who knows
I think he's busy he isn't on Twitter all the time lol
I tweeted him back and said I would test it but did not hear back.
He's out of town so probably busy, expect to hear back when he's not busy.

Same here... It was some time later but yeah, what the guy who posted before me said....
I assumee p3s zip is pre rooted? how about for the people that went ahead and updated, any promising root methods in the works?
If you're already updated, p3 said that you can sbf back.

I second that.
It's 3:05am in NC and as I was getting ready to leave work in go to check for the update in About phone and it is a available now. I have to unfreeze, remove scripts, and backup my phone then I will let the update install. Just thought I would mention that the OTA update has started. I am not in the soak test either.

I unrooted and it still failed. I guess I'm just going to have to wait a little longer to see if anyone else succeeds. Disappointing.

Ive checked for the update manually, but my phone goes to a blank, white screen and seemingly remains inactive. Anyone else experience this?
Also, am I to assume that the OTA and SBF are now different?

Got the update in OH. Wasn't expecting it, and now I have to get my phone ready...
Just throwing this out there, but for the people failing updates, did you by chance flash the ATRIX ports? I know that the kernel for 2.3.4 on ATRIX is not the same as kernel on X2. Just my two cents...

I haven't flashed any other roms. The only thing I did to my phone was root and use scripts. I have tried to update several more times and it failed each time. I don't know what else to do.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Got the update last night when I went to bed at 12am. Since I just got the phone two days ago, I was only rooted on 2.3.3 with nothing else done to it. It updated no problems, but I had to re-root after the install was done. Only things I've noticed so far is that everything seems a lot laggier than before. I still need to install recovery and debloat though. I hope that will help.
My other thread got flamed with people calling me a liar...... well heres proof in the screenie.......i will upload it this afternoon

Oh man..no matter what,I do believe that you got the OTA.. So chill and yeah don't feel bad...

I swear man I'm sorry if I came off as flaming you but those are still not proof. I got the same exact popups using the Cheesecake app as did everyone else. 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.
The download just failed and here is the notification askimg me to install again

So if it IS indeed the OTA, why has it failed on you like 2 or 3 times now? Again, not trying to be mean or anything, just want some clarification on it is all.
So is big red pushing out the ota

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.

Janker. Why don't you go back to stock through Matt utility and try updating again. I wonder if the boot strap recovery blocking it. Cuz all you did was delete the the recovery apk
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
NO! I SHALL NOT BELIEVE THIS!!! Jk, people on the web are such dicks lol, good for you getting legit 4.0, I'm still stuck on 2.3.5 kernel lol
Lots of people believed this guy too. I was not one of them.

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.
Now I'm getting this:
Check for update is not available at this time.
Try again later.

Could you please post a screenshot of the about screen, please? It's seems that is what people want to see to compare to the cheesecake method. Please, and thank you.

Cool man . Good luck with installing that doesnt work form me anyway as my razr is xt910 .. and my Droid 3 got forgotten by vzw ..
It was maybe a test push of the ota or the Soak . But got pulled so anyone else has it.
And as you were already downloading it let you finish..
Very nice indeed.

Ok, first things first. ICS is coming down the pipe in a few days maybe a week or 2, depending on how the soak test goes. Why do you want to flash a GB OS mod when ICS will be here soon? If you flash to that I don't believe you'll get the OTA update.
Second, you'll want to have RSDLite installed on your machine with a safe, working copy of your stock rom. This can be found in about 50 places on these forums. The only catch is that when ICS rolls out, more than likely, you won't be able to go back to GB due to the boot loader being signed with a new version (all the posts you see about getting "unstuck" are speaking of that very problem).
I'll be more than happy to walk you through the process, but it just doesn't seem to be the wisest course of action with ICS so close.
Lemme know!
