Is this the official soak test? If not it's just old news.

Droid-Life changed the article from people getting it via the soak test, to it being a Cheesecake leak possibly going out to testers.

Question:
What has been stopping me from jumping on these leaks is the fact that I cannot, repeat cannot roll back to Gingerbread 2.3.6. Now, with all of this discussed, will I be able to roll back to GB off the OTA? I just dont like the feeling of jumping to an unofficial OTA and then being stuck there god forbid I ever wanted to jump to the actual thing.

I would say theres a damn good chance that the OTA will not allow a rollback since these devices were meant for ICS anyway.

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.

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.

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.

I'm also curious, what are people complaining about? I've had my screen on for the last 4 hours customizing, playing with and generally enjoying ICS. I've yet to experience any issues whatsoever...? Genuinely wondering what problems people are having? Why would they put the ICS release candidate on their staging/soak server if it was riddled with bugs?
Hummmm
Have you people really used ICS I think its horrible even if they do get it working on these phones it still sucks! Just make the battery last a month on one charge and connect to any wi-fi without having to log in, and make apps shut off when you exit out of them. That's all we want out of our phones right??? We can only dream about having phones that work right there will always be someone with an issue with their phone as long as we are getting phones that do all these great things!! Sorry my little rant i'm just done hearing everyone saying when is ICS coming to our phones!! Everyone knows when they do release it thousands will install and instantly start having issues so then another update and another it will never end! How many phones that are out work perfectly? I probably wont even update to ICS when it comes I like the way my phone works now and know where everything is! If you want ICS just install a different launcher done!!
Back in February, everyone was screaming for ICS on their Asus Transformer. Now, the majority of people wished they never got it because it has caused nothing but grief for many (not all) owners. (lockups, random reboots, and general instability).
I've been on the 75 leak for months, and gotten so used to it that rolling back in hopes an official build would be released soon is now miserable... 181 is great GB wise (I ran the 75 leak before 181 was released). But I miss my ICS setup SOOO badly... It's only been a few hours, but good GOOGLY MOOGLY I miss ICS...

Depends on which leak he's running... 84+ are stuck with it for now. I used Matt's tool (modified RSD) to roll back. You can find the tool by searching here, or on droidrzr.com. If I weren't mobile, I'd post a link, but I'm out & about. If you can't find it, I'll post a link later.

ICS was great. Got my Maxx now so I'm happy about that. Moto Blur's Gingerbread isn't bad though, compared to other GB Roms (I didn't care for sense much). ICS will be here soon, I was patient enough to wait for my Maxx, so waiting for an update for it should be no problem.

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!

Is it safe to assume the update breaks root?
Currently I have an update for 3.6 something but it fails every time...I think because I removed some apps like Madden and other "non-deletable" apps. How do i fix this so I can apply ICS?

You could try a factory reset. If that doesn't work you may have to fastboot. I'm curious about the "3.6" , what did you mean? RAZR doesn't have a 3.6 version number.
