Is there any reason now not to just download and install the 211 leak that's been out for a few days?

Meh. Its close enough. I had the .75 build just to get a feel for it then I flashed back. I don't mind waiting another few days.

I wouldn't... It may be the same build, but you never know if there might be some teeny tiny tweaks, and we still don't know if leaks take you off the upgrade path (I've only heard that it MIGHT be possible)...
But I really came here to say BOOM! The wait is (almost) OVER!

Guess its time to fast boot back to .181. I'm only on the .79 leak so the .211 that's going live must be extremely functional.

Hmm...any word on the bootloader?

From the video on motorola page, they removed the integrated social networking app into individual one. I love the seamless integration. Not a good move by motorola.

will they have world version

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?

I would assume so. Some haven't in the past but since this is such an expansive update, I would expect it to break root. Just my opinion.

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.

if you want to keep root id suggest you wait on the update till its prerooted other wise you will lose root for good untill an exploit is found in gb
Yes, but sbf can still be done to root again.
I'll bet GingerBreak works on it. I've rooted a dozen of phones all different makes and models and versions with that handy all in one program.

This is false information. On the 23rd testers where contacted and told the test was not ready but we would be be notified when it was. So no need to worry about going back stock just yet.

Every android device could be rooted, practically if you know mac, or linux its just typing su (super user, and i believe it might be sudo (superuser do)) does that answer the question, if not then yes
No word about MP3 or video recording issues, either that or I just read too fast and missed it
I think the OP's question was, can he update, or will he receive an update notice if his phone is rooted? I would like to know this as well.
Also, I am confused or not reading a clear answer, will this version be rootable? I think it is 2.3.3...Gingerbread.
I like root on my X2 too much to update right now if there is no root.
Thanks in advance for any clear answers and explanations.
I am so excited I am going to start my sbf now. If they are posting it on their website they have to be really close with it.

I'm about to do the same!
Gingerbreak used to work for rooting Gingerbread but they fixed the exploit in the latest versions. So right now there isn't any way to root. Your best bet is to wait for a custom rom to come out with Gingerbread pre-rooted.

New Moto Soak Text for x2?

Just got an email, 2:48Est, for a new Soak test for the X2? What could this be?
Go for it and check it out and let us know. You can always sbf back. How do you get on their list?

I signed up! I bet it is GB 2.3.5 or 2.3.6. With minor bug fixes...
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.
Where is people signing up at?

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.

Who else has rolled back to 181 from an ICS leak and can't stand it?

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!
