From what I've seen and heard, being rooted won't prevent you from receiving this OTA, but you will lose root access unless you backup su and temp-unroot with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper or the like.
I also work for BIG RED and OTA will be be rolling out of tomorrow.

I wonder if the leaked ICS is the same as the OTA?
The only word anyone's seen is from Best Buy, not Verizon or Moto. The fact that the leak/soak test exists is a sign we're close(but who knows how close). I guess we'll all be really happy, or super pissed tomorrow @3:01 am... Lol

Only for CDMA model or GSM too??
If only CDMA, do you kown when will be rolling out for GSM?
Big Red deals with CDMA only, they wouldn't know the GSM date.
Seihaku is correct. We only know about t CDMA roll outs. But hopefully soon

Unlikely to be soon, seeing as there are no known soak tests for ICS on the XT910 yet. Knowing Moto's treatment of their GSM users, we probably won't get an ICS OTA until the MAXX is out over here... in May.
Lol the funny thing is that we were supposed to get it before us.

Most likely scenario is that the ICS work was originally being carried out for the GSM RAZR, then someone in management intervened and made the DROID RAZR a priority due to Moto's contract with Verizon. I imagine once the ICS update goes live and there are no showstoppers, they'll continue to QA test the update internally for about a month before pushing it out as a soak test for a week, before finally pushing the release version.

You'll have to go on the Moto forums and update your profile to opt-in with your IMEI. They're still sending out emails but as far as I know they haven't launched the actual test.

I just got an email from VZW "Your HTC Rezound™ can do more with the Android 4.0 software update." Isn't that old news or did I miss something?

I was wondering the same thing.The PDF they link to says:
Verizon Wireless is pleased to announce a new software upgrade, 3.14.605.12 710RD, for your HTC Rezound.™
This update includes an upgrade to the Android Operating System 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and HTC Sense 3.6.

So it appears this isn't a new update. Just a routine email.
Its a shame they didn't ever update to 4.0. Its not like this phone can't handle it.

They don't update it to sense 4 for a reason. They want people to buy newer phones to get the newer software

I also got that email - maybe it was sent to all Rezound owners who never officially upgraded via VZW's OTA?
Really? The email I got was for the Droid DNA.
same, i got a dna email.
I got both emails
Trying to sell me the DNA, and telling me about an update that's one behind the leak I'm running, and has already been pushed. Or so I thought.
I'm considering buying this phone. Can anybody tell me where the DNA is with official OTA updates and whether or not it's unlockable and rootable? Thanks!
It doesn't have official kit kat, yet.
It is unlockable and rootable.
Thanks. So did it get 4.3? And if so, is it unlockable? I only like ask because the Note 2 and HTC One both got OTA 4.3 recently and neither bootloaders have been unlocked.

The DNA recently got upgraded via OTA to sense 5, 4.2.2, and root/unlock ready. It is slated to get sense 5.5 and 4.4 kit Kat by march via ota. I would go with this phone, it's my favorite phone all around in a long time with the exception of the Sony Xperia Z but that's not available on Verizon.

It has not yet gotten 4.3 and probably won't I think if we get a update now it'll be 4.4 or just updates for bug fixes. As for dev support it's there all the way kicking butt and taking names lol. This device is very easy to unlock the bootloader and root if you have any experience at all with that sorta thing. Got this phone about 8 months ago and I don't regret it at all!!!

Awesome. Thanks to you all. I had the Incredible and Thunderbolt, then ventured off to the RAZR, GNex, and now Note 2.. All unlocked and rooted. And I have to say, I miss HTC. I like stock Android too though. And with the Note 2 being locked with its recent update, it is undesirable to put it nicely. Thanks again.

Same with the GS4, the updates killed unlock. Fortunately I was able to unlock it befoer the update. In some way I feel sad for those who later bought the phone but couldn't unlock it.
I'm glad jcase and beaups have an unlock method for this phone that hasn't been thwarted. I'm surprised the DNA's continued unlockability, good porcessor, and great screen hasn't attracted far more people.
DNA will not receive official 4.3 and will leapfrog to 4.4 by end of march (as said by HTC on Twitter) pending Verizon approval. It is still 50/50 chance of us seeing 4.4 as Verizon has to approve it.
Verizon loves their devices locked down, so I am sure they are extremely peeved that rumrunner released so soon for our device. This means it may not receive 4.4 unless HTC finds a way to lock it down harder.

My power button crapped out on my S3 and I'm looking at the DNA. Know someone that may trade. I'm REALLY concerned about the 16 gb of internal only storage. What were they thinking!?

Got the phone today..
So I got the phone today and it's currently running 4.1.1 / Sense 4+, 2.04.605.2 710RD. Should I just unlock it as such or update it and then unlock? Any input?

You could unlock now or later, the unlock method works non matter what firmware you're on :good:
If you want to run the stock OTA 4.2 update you might want to update first and the root. I have heard people having problems with the OTA update failing with rooted phones.
I was already rooted and installed an image of the update from the dev forum.

Same here. I just de-bloated everything and am messing with xposed already. This phone smokes my S3 in terms of feeling fluid. That touchwiz interface was laggy unless I had CM11, and then had camera and signal issues. Pretty happy right now, even though I gave up my SD card. :thumbup:

Nice, enjoy. I love mine and have plenty of space with the CM11 snapshot from 1/4.
The DNA is truly a great device, I don't see myself replacing it for a long time (unless it breaks)
With the latest OTA, the DNA is finally unlockable/rootable with the rumrunner method. I actually just s-off'd mine something like 10 minutes ago.

Followed up on your claim that any official dates have been confirmed, they haven't. Most recent information as stated by HTC is target 2nd week of April. That's not a confirmation of any specific date especially since the update is with Verizon right now to get final certification. If you have specific information from a source to say otherwise please post.
Agreeing with xlxcrossing. Everything i see shows the 2nd week of April. if you have diff info please share. otherwise here is where i got my info.
http://motoringcrunch.com/news/htc-...e-release-date-siren-starts-ringing/10012474/
If they are to meet the target launch of April this should mean that KitKat 4.4 should arrive before 14 April. Detail :

Thanks. At the time I posted I thought that version was the only one not affected. Guess I had it backwards. I wonder though, if resources could have been diverted to help fix that version.

I'm sure resources could have been but at the same time Google said it was a low percentage of devices that even have that version. I'd like to say it was like 1-3% or something that low so it probably wasn't too high on the list to fix. I do think their is a patch they have out though
There's been some subtle info coming through the pipeline but week of 21st (now) is the adjusted time for target release. Hopefully some of you will get the OTA notification soon. This isn't a guarantee by any means, we all know the update process through Verizon historically has always been massively delayed at times when dealing with older devices. Its not like HTC or Verizon though to give constant updates pushing it week to week. They already did their 3 month postponement so I think its legit at this point.

Noob Question please!
Guys, a noob here. Just caught the news about KK coming over to Droid DNA. I have an unlocked version running Viper DNA 1.3.5 on Android version 4.1.1 with Sense 4.
Will I get notification of the KK update OTA since I'm in Canada and hence not running on Verizon's network and secondly, if I do the update, will I be able to run the ViperDNA as a dual boot option or is it even worthwhile to do that?
Thanks in advance folks!!!

I know somebody found it and posted it, but did the OTA ever actually go? Verizon never updated their One max support doc (still showing the Kit Kat OTA http://www.verizonwireless.com/dam/support/pdf/system_update/one-max.pdf) and HTC still hasn't confirmed it on their software updates page (http://www.htc.com/us/go/htc-software-updates/).

I haven't seen anything about when the official OTA will roll out, and my stock recovery isn't working, so I can't do it manually .

If you check the HTC Software status website, you see that it is in the certification phase for Verizon.
