I am currently perfectly fine with my deivce right now. Only thing i want is google voice video chat which is in 2.3.4 update i believe and hdmi mirroring which should be possible now that the bootloader is unlocked.
Anyone know around what date the officak release should be? It should soon right?
No word on official release... people think it's in the next few weeks but it's just speculation given the quality of the builds seen so far.
Personally, I'd say wait. The 2.34 version everyone is flashing right now is more for play than use at the moment. Wait at least until some more complete/stable roms have been built or the various issues people have been having with the leaked version have been fixed.
I agree with mysticdrew. I have decided to wait for a week or two till we get the official update to 2.3.4. I will unlock only once CM is available for atrix.

+1. I have no problem waiting a month or more for an official 2.3 update .
In kenneth's unlock guide there's 24 steps to unlock. With the official 2.3.4 you start at step 13, which is where the steps are easier/safer.
I also am waiting on something more stable. But I'm still refreshing the forums every few hours and getting my reading in! Best advise I can give if you are unsure is read read read before you attempt.
I unlocked mine and it was relatively simple to do. The only problem I had was the /data wipe.

Are you for serious? I mean its a developer community, and the gingerbread rom out there is not really a test Rom, its Motorola release leak. I think its worth installing it. And its very simple! And totally safe.

yes I'm serious. The leaked build is not specifically for US AT&T
The leaked build from Hong Kong / Taiwan was probably not built for a device that is exactly like ours. Test phones can have different hardware. Don't expect everything to work, it's super-duper beta and since we've all only been unlocked 24hrs no one really knows how usable it is! Flash at your own risk... (PS you can 'Skip' Motoblur just by hitting 'Menu' during setup. It won't connect anyway...)

Why mess with all of this when within a month or so we can get a fully supported OTA update? The current formal Atrix build is just fine. Unless you're a dev trying to build ROMs or something, I don't see a huge benefit other than just saying you have the latest and greatest. There's multiple posts in the Atrix section with "I applied 2.3.4 and X does not work properly", not worth it IMO when there is no significant benefit.

The unlock is relatively simple yes, but the 2.34 leak isn't issue less for sure - there are resolution issues, home button issues, data speed issues, network issues, lots of small issues people have been having (all probably fixable for sure, but definitely a n00bie would be overwhelmed).
point of having unlocked bootloader is to have custom and 3rd party solutions.
what point is it to wait for the official release when you can still enjoy the hot cake now and switch to official release when it is out?
in that case you do not need the unlocked bootloader in the 1st place.

True, access to custom and 3rd party solutions, but that has no bearing on the decision to wait until there's a stable solution unofficial or official. There's a stability threshold everyone has and for some obviously it's met and for others it hasn't.
I'm going to wait for there to be a stable rom, or at least for the official gingerbread release.

I agree. I see no problem with unlocking now, but since there isn't much to do with it right now I just won't do it. I'm not interested in some buggy Taiwan or whatever build of the GB update...
Maybe I'm missing something, but is there anything else we can do with the unlocked phone RIGHT NOW?
Not to be a **** but the whole point of XDA is to try things before they are meant to be tried and trying things that shouldnt be tried. Im running 2.3.4 and it is completely stable, no freezes or reboots. Only thing that does not work is motoBlur and Fingerprint reader. This build is completely safe if you read the directions and then read them again.
IMO no. You can apply barely tested stuff, shake your fist in anger when multiple core functions break, and then flash back to stock w/ root . If you're a dev, then yes all of this 2.3.4/unlock stuff is like Christmas right now.
Like I said, many people have tried 2.3.4 and its STABLE.
You can also use cwm recovery now without having to plug your AC charger in. For me, that in itself is worth unlocking the bootloader over.

- resolution problem
- exchange does not work
- marketplace may not work
- webtop does not work out of the box, need to re-enable with additional steps
- fingerprint reader does not work
- home button does not work
- cardock may not work
- stock ringtones are missing
- motoblur does not work
All this just to get a HKTW 2.3.4 a few weeks in advance??
the point of XDA is NOT for a general user to try out stuff before devs have had a chance to try it out for less than 24 hrs.

From the HKTW thread:
"WARNING

This doesn't assure people it's stable, and if it were perfectly stable, there wouldn't be multiple threads about fixing some of the issues from flashing this. It's a beta, and not even for the US phones. Don't be so naive as to think you know everything about this build, and also don't be so pigheaded as to think you know better than the devs who give us this stuff, and posted the aforementioned warning. Anything which is alpha or beta is not stable, or it would be live and in all our phones right now from Moto/AT&T. If people don't want to flash it, that's up to them!

I've heard this came out a couple months ago, but my phone as yet to update on its own. When I try and check for an update, it says there are no updates to be found. And when I check my phone, my current software is 3.14.605.12. Anybody know how I can upgrade to the latest? Ever since I upgraded to ICS, my phone has been nothing but trouble for me, and I'm hoping if I upgrade to the latest that some of these problems might go away. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Here is the link to the global update: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ull-ruu-build-4-03-605-2-for-the-htc-rezound/ Lucky for you, since you haven't unlocked you bootloader or done anything otherwise, you can flash this in your bootloader and get the update with no problem.
Two notes on flashing that...first it's unofficial, so flashing it might risk your ability to get OTA's in the future. Second, it will wipe your data, apps, and internal storage. However, with those two caveats, it will work just fine.
I appreciate the input guys. However, both of you state I need to "flash" to do this - which looks to me (as stated above) it's an unofficial method of getting this update. I'm curious, is there a way I can do this a legit way? How come my phone did not take the update, while others did? How can I force my phone to update? I'd like to keep my phone as stock as possible and not do any modding to it.
If I really have no other options, then I guess flashing is my best bet. And considering the last phone I had that I took any time to mod was the first-gen iPhone, I have no clue what any of this lingo means - but I guess that's what Google is for. However if any of you have a quick link in mind you could post that might help me or at least point me in the right direction, it'd be appreciated. I looked at the link posted above to the actual ROM file and it has some simple install instructions, however I'm not sure if that's all I need to do considering I'm still fully stock. Thanks again guys for all your help.

your phone is up to date! like they said above and the global is unofficial, therefore putting the global ruu on your phone would be the latest!

Run the 4.03.605.2 RUU. Let it boot 1 time, then wipe and install shrike's CounterShrike CM9 ROM. It's seriously a great ROM and super smooth in comparison to stock. Basically, what this phone should have been from day 1.

My apologies, but I don't quite understand. You're saying my phone is up to date with the 3.14.x.x software, and the 4.03.x.x that I'm looking for is actually some "custom" ROM and unofficial?

So this 4.03.x.x is just not out yet? I've been seeing news articles of them reporting on it as far back as August. Has it just not rolled out to every phone yet? If not, then I will continue to wait. I just thought my phone was messed up and wouldn't take the update.

But waiting on Verizon to Roll out the Update will take a loooonng time. but Sites have the Latest (Unofficial)Build. Unofficial is kind of like Alpha, and Beta. Unofficial is inbetween Alpha n Beta.
It basically gives u global function so if your not going to other countries don't even worry about it. I promise if u take the time to figure everything out and flash it you won't be able to tell a difference. Just skip it

A few people got 4.03.605.1 a week or two after the 3.14.605.12 OTA, but they never mass rolled it out. I know of one person on XDA who got it as an OTA. 4.03.605.2 surfaced a few days later on Android Police, but I haven't heard of anyone getting it as an OTA, and there hasn't been a peep out of Verizon on it.

Awesome, just what I needed to know. I will just be patient then. Thanks!
Yep, basically the only reason why the global update ever made it to light is because the manufacturers like HTC like to "splash test" on a few customers, let them report back bugs and what not, at this point if there aren't any bugs or the bugs that are present are workable, they will release the update in mass to the rest of the public.
Basically, a splash tester knew what they were doing, whipped together that nice little "flashable" ruu package and released it for the rest of us to hack up for our own uses. Usually, we look forward to these little splash test releases because they do contain newer bug fixes, but they also contain new kernels, libs and other useful things we need to continue making roms like aosp or sense 4 work better
I'd say if you want it, go ahead and flash it. Its just not official as they say because it did not arrive onto your phone via ota update directly from htc and verizon. Although it is an official build built by htc.
are there any big differences between these two?
and if there are, then what?
which one do you prefer?

Eburon 2.1 - I like the color and no more white only icons and task bar; the settings sell the ROM! He also baked in several Nokia apps; I thought 2.0 was great; this is sweet!

both have their advantages and disadvantages. I prefer ultrashots (dynamics) due to the extra custom tweaks + the clock hub used.
HOWEVER, Eburoms rom is very appealing with extra colors/themes/accents. Like Berry said...the settings do sell the rom.
As an off the grid cooker myself, both roms are almost flawless. I don't think my own roms could ever match the quality and care they put in their roms...seriously. -lol
Anyway, if flashing roms becomes addicting to you like it did to me back in the day, you will eventually flash both roms to see for yourself!
thank u for youre opinions, i couldnt hold myself so i flashed from the eburom to dynamics, and i must say that both of them seems great, but i prefer the dynamics version, because it looks/feels more like the outof the box 7.8 version, with some great tweaks.. hopefully a 2.1 of the dynamics will still be uploaded even though he sais in his post that he will stop after that.
had a lumia 900 which i flashed with the "official" 7.8 rom from the nokia servers .. but both eburom and dynamics beets the hell out of it

I tried both; I prefer Dynamics, because of its "factory" feel.
And because it integrates the Nokia Drive app!
Excellent (free) sat nav.
I have not been able to find a decent sat nav app for WP7.anything apart from Nokia Drive, so I went back to Dynamics from Eburon.
I love the look of the Eburon ROM, though...

All common free nokia apps are integrated in eburon rom since version 2.1 - also nokia drive. But I 've also tried dynamics - its also a very great rom. But I like some more color in rom, this was one of the reasons I started with cooking and sharing roms. Really curious what ultrashot will put in his next version.
sorry for maybe beeing a bit offtopic, but is there a way to add/install nokia version of viber? Stock viber is without call option and a bit poor in function but i am not able to find/download/install nokia viber ( with a lot of more function). Using Eburon 2.1 and it works absolutely perfect with all integrated nokia apps

I'm somewhat curious to know what the official HTC Titan I update is to be relative to the custom ROMs. I've got bets there will be more than a few customized 7.8 ROMs this upcoming weekend...if this is all that it is advertised to be why in the world did it take this long, I do not know. What I'd give to have Skype baked into the darn thing but that's wishful thinking. I won't update to 8.x until XDA has something more definitive on if it can be HSPL and customized and then what device it can be done on.

A little off topic...I wouldn't hold your breath on this one... HTC tweeted me a couple of days ago that atm there are no plans to release a 7.8 update for the Titan/HD7. It is just speculation that Nokia is the only OEM rolling out the update tomorrow...no one else. HTC also tweeted me that if there was an update, it wouldn't be rolled out till ~March.
If it indeed is true and the Titan (or more than one device) doesn't receive an official 7.8 update, I'm afraid I might have to part ways with HTC for my next device. It only goes to show that Nokia is the true OEM that really cares for WP. I may have an unlocked device that I can install custom roms on, but there are plenty of others -especially on ATT that are still on 7720 that have the disappearing keyboard problem...my father included. And yes it is extremely frustrating!
Anyway, but yea I don't think we'll see many more custom roms. I was curious to see about the official update myself as I was waiting to build a custom rom off that to use with the 16 radio.

Apparently the release was a bit premature and the offcial release date begins today (the week of 10/28). I received it this morning. You should be able to get it now.
This update to version MJ4 primarily fixes the audio issues that some were having with the phone and also a handwriting bug in the Samsung keyboard. Not sure what else it fixes or changes.

Thank you very much.. so Kies 3 is saying im up to date with MI5 but from the phone.. check for updates is now DL something so guessing MJ4.... appreciate it! :good:
I think that this update might address the call quality issue people were having including myself. I just had a phone conversation that didnt make me want to toss the phone. I was plagued with pops and digital sounds when I first got the phone. I called Spring customer service and went in to see a rep and they new of the problem. The in store rep said that a download was coming soon...and here it is!
Be aware it appears mj4 has a new bootloader. Some reports coming in of downgrading flipping knox even on unrooted phones. May not want to downgrade if on mj4

Is there any real compelling reason to install the B148 update? The camera already seems fine to me without the update. It's operating smoothly and I get great battery life. Why do it?

If there is another update that isn't a major one (KK? fingers crossed) then it might require being updated to B148 first. Just a guess. It is a stretch to think we'll get another update to this phone though but we can't rule it out now that Huawei has come through with this minor update. It might be that since they mentioned a 4.4 KK update is coming when the phone came out that this update we just got would be a test run for the whole process. That's thinking optimistically. Realistically, I have no idea but would be happy if we continued to get updates (any at all) on our HAM2's.
Low light photography . Usually when you take a pic in low light it tends to darken the background too much . This update helps in that department . Plus , these updates provide an overall better stability to the system , the "misc. fixes" (No detailed description) they put at the end of the description should not be overlooked . They test the device thoroughly at their office and made the small needed changes . Even though you might not think it's a lot . Always better to stay updated . If it wasn't necessary nor improved the experience they would not have pushed the update out at all . My two cents . Update !
Well I was going to put in my 2 cents but you two said it all. If you made it all the way to the XDA website and was able to register and post something onto form your more then capable of upgrading to the new SYSTEM UPDATE. Plenty of people went ahead of you already and another thread was created for that. Everyone is having success with the B418 update.
The camera was rubbish in low light, and now it runs much smoother. Not iPhone or Android flagship smooth, but good enough.
And again, everyone else said pretty much all there is to say!

Well I was going to put in my 2 cents but you two said it all. If you made it all the way to the XDA website and was able to register and post something onto form your more then capable of upgrading to the new SYSTEM UPDATE.

My question wasn't "how" to do it, it was "why". What is there to gain?

Why upgrade from any software? What was wrong with Android 4.1? it runs everything. The manufacturer of the phone put in the money to update and push out the update for a reason. Not spyware. My phone has the update and i just hit the 48 hour mark and I still have 18%
Is B148 really an "upgrade"? Have any impactful improvements been noted?
If I hadn't rooted my phone I would install the update. But considering the lengthy process due to my root, I'm going to wait for the KitKat update.

Pretty much what I'm thinking, too.
It's not that bad, plus you gain a lot of experience during the process!
I can't say I see any differences but I know I am up to date.
Damn right u get a lot of experience, I had never rooted a phone; I always thought it was too confusing and was afraid of bricking but now I'm rooted and running some modules couldn't be any happier

Update
I know I can't prove it but I just want it to be posted that before when I was on System Software B126 MightyText did not work when the screen was off. Even when I had it on protected apps and wifi on when the screen is off while charging. I had to keep my screen awake while I was using the app. Now after the update B148 I no longer have to do that. I was also having some problems with dropbox syncing when my phone is off and that is also fixed. So the "other fixes" in the system update. The stuff that they didn't mention is the reason why you should update. Actually since I have had the update my phone has been running very smooth. Everything just works when you click it.. Weirddd....
