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.

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.

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

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:

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.

Verizon Tech Support says ICS on Thuderbolt
I talked to a tech for Verizon because I was having issues with my Thunderbolt. I got onto the subject of ICS and she said that the update is being pushed and that she has it on her personal Thunderbolt. Can anyone confirm ICS push on Thunderbolt yet?

Yeah if it were really being pushed, it would be all over every android blog out there, and my Twitter would be going apesh*t.
Besides, ICS for the tbolt wasn't announced that long ago, so the chances of it being ready to push are... well 0%

as for my own personal experience, the Verizon techs are less intelligent and skilled then 99% of the people in these forums. the only answer I ever got out of them was "send it to us for warranty replacement", or "you must do a factory reset and then call us if the problem doesn't go away". One of them replied to my question about ICS with "what is Ice Cream Sandwich"
I prefer choco tacos over ice cream sandwich anyways... By the time that gets pushed, well probably take advantage of our new upgrades.

I thought the same thing, remember when they said that about the Photon 4g a couple of months before it came out??? i sure do and we are almost a year into the life of our phones and still nothing. Even if this does turn out to be correct, they never said that this would work for older phone so we might be SOL anyway...
Hope this would work for photons they have to be similar in some sort of way.Al i want is ice cream sandwich, or jelly bean, with 4g intact and so i can use cyanogen
Sent from my 4g intact
MOF 2.3.5ish MoPho!
so what that mean?
does they will offer any better fixes than XDA developers did?
i think if they just released ICS ROM for photon will do the job to have the missed drivers
I suspect that the recent update to the photon was in preparation of this. bringing all the phones to the same bootloader would make the unlock process much simpler. Yes this is optimistic.

HTC promised us the ICS update by the end of July. Wrong again. Here we are in August and no ICS update. I think I am like most people and dont really care about the update itself so much as HTC releasing the source code so we can get serious modding done. Personally, I am running CleanROM and it works great. I wouldnt mind having a new CleanROM based on the offical ICS update, though, if it ever comes out.
Either way, I will NEVER buy another Verizon or HTC phone again. This was my first on both of them and it will be my last for sure. Soon as my 2 yr contract is up, I'm ditching Verizon.
Edit: Well, go figure. I post this and then the update comes out the next day. Mod, delete this whole thread at will, it serves no purpose now.
You're surprised?
Because of a mere update? Okay... They never promised July, they said summer which as far as I know it still is.So this is why devs hate when people ask for ETAs.

Dear Andrew S,
Thank you for contacting HTC regarding the Android 4.0 update. I understand that you are excited to receive the update for your HTC Rezound. I will be happy to share the information I have with you.
The ICS (Android 4.0) update will be released for the Rezound by the end of this month (July) with final pushes in August. Due to localization, testing, and partner approvals, updates do not roll out to all devices at the same time. For devices on a wide variety of carriers and in many countries, rollouts can take up to 45 days from the initial update to reach everyone. It’s almost here, Andrew! We are as excited as you are. I hope you enjoy the rest of your week!

HTC has had the update finished for a while now I'm sure. It's all just sitting in Verizon's desk under a stack up of new contract papers and hate mail somewhere.
It's not HTC its Verizon. Verizon has this new thing called the cloud that saves you emails and pic ect....... I know this because I had a htc Inc2 that received a update and it lost emails Facebook ect.....so Verizon offered me the rezound because they had no time line to fix it so thanks to Verizon cloud we don't have ics this is why htc keeps posting it on there web page its available . Htc is not the problem it will always be Verizon

Isn't the point of having a forum like XDA, which has so many talented developers, that you don't have to wait if you don't want to? As about a billion people have posted on all these "waiting for OTA" threads have said, ICS for the Rezound is available RIGHT NOW for anyone that wants it - you don't even have to root - I'm new to the Rezound, but have been rooting phones with the help of XDA for years now - i have CHOSEN to wait for the OTA, knowing that at any time I can flash one of the great ROMS that have been put together with great care and support by some really smart people - it just seems odd that people who are on a forum dedicated to NOT WAITING for manufacturers to get their act together will post repeatedly about how upset they are about having to wait -

Excellent point, will still need them to officially release ICS so in turn they have to release the ICS kernel source code also then the devs can do even more great work.

I can come on here and say I got the update myself, and I'm the only one that Sprint is letting test it right now in the real world. It doesn't really hold water. Unless there's a press release saying that it's "coming" or is being pushed, there's no way to confirm this is true.

But, to bubble this up a little. The HTC One X has Jelly Bean rolling out right now, Android version 4.1.2. News is hitting Google within the last hour.
Hey just letting you know what I was told. Guy didn't want me out of store we talked for a while he was a cool dude. He has evolte and seemed genuinely honest and so there you go.
