I doubt you will. It will be 2.3.3. Im pretty sure of it. I got one last week and it was that.

I've been checking the forums; as well as, Twitter looking for a root method. I'm itching to put this Epic away.
Sent from my Epic, because my EVO arrived with the Gingerbread update.

you are so right, thanks pointing out my error and attempting to fix my stupid. it will never happen again.

Hahaha. Me too. Definitely never visited this forum before receiving my replacement.

Info about android 2.3.4 update to Orange Users

Hey everyone I contacted orange about the update and it seems there is no current release plan for the update, email below.
Hi Christian
We don't have any timescale for that at the moment, but I'll make some enquiries for you and let you know as soon as I hear anything.
Thanks

Anyone notice this? "Ein Upgrade ist in Planung"

Maybe I have missed this but isn't this statement a bit more affirmative on an update that previously update messages on the US support pages?

This is what is being shown for some months already on that german site.

Ok. Thanks for letting me know. I am just glad this message seems a little more positive on a new update than Verizon than is considering an update only. We can only wait and see I guess.

Who's gonna leak the Soak Test?

Would be fine by me if it was done anonymously!
Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Unless I missed something, I do not believe a soak test has been announced for the Droid MAXX.

Was a soak test announced?

Those Non-Disclosure Agreements, Right?

Usually when soak tests get announced, that is post everywhere. Nothing do far.

All anyone got is an email....no actual soak test yet, so nothing to zip
Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Also just got a soak email. I've never been a part of a soak test before. So excited :laugh:

it will be leaked before everyone who is officially involved in the soak test has had a chance to download it...

Yes, it is. http://sbf.droid-developers.org/

"This is a confidential test under the terms of the Motorola Feedback Network. Please do not post any details or information about this on any public sites or report it to sites that cover our industry." Lololol

With this invite just going out, I doubt anything has been pushed to testers.
Usually, that takes 5 to 7 days.

Anyone know how to capture the zip from the SOAK servers? Also the 12.15.15 obake is the current firmware out now for the ultra. I want to say the last SOAK was 3 days after the email. Got the email on Oct 28th and Halloween morning had the OTA. Lots of the rooted users had issues so if you are going to Fact reset do before you finish the survey, device reset can kick your device out of the list to get the OTA

Use a root browser and navigate to cache once it is downloaded. Copy it then upload. Easy

Ok where is the cache folder, not rooted so haven't messed around the file structure on this phone much.

Believe you need root to get to cache. Could be wrong though.

You guys do realize that you can just go sign up for the soak test, right? It's not some exclusive club.
Then you don't have to rely on others to break the confidentiality agreement and leak it.

Moto X USCC .sbf files

I've posted the original and camera update .sbf files at http://rant-zone.com/MotoX for those looking for them. The KitKat .sbf can be found on TeamUSCellular.com, here:http://teamuscellular.com/Forum/index.php?/topic/6024-Official-Moto-X-4.4-KitKat-SBF#entry104026

Sent from my XT1055 using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2

Any brave soul from USC try and successfully downgrade from KitKat back to jellybean? I've heard other carriers turning into bricks from downgrading to before the camera update, taking the camera update and bricking. Not really seeing a reason to downgrade myself. Just curious if anyone knows anything about this.

You talking about us crazy Sprint guys?
Sent from my XT1056 using xda app-developers app

Hahahaha. It probably was one of you guys lol! I can't afford it since I have an unlocked boot loader and no warranty. So I'd be SOL. Don't want to sound like an @$$ but would rather see if anyone else survives that battle hahaha.
Sent from my XT1055 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I was smart enough to prepare ahead of time and do all of jcase's steps up to the " now go ahead and take the OTA". Is there bad things going on if you already have the 4.4 OTA and try to downgrade? I made it, root, rw, on system on 4.4 with no issues, but don't want to spread the love if its just going to breed contempt. Any info will be appreciated.
Sent from my XT1055 using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2

So you've downgraded yourself from 4.4 your saying? I'm not sure myself as I just said. I'm just not willing to take that plunge unless others have successfully. Again as I've heard other horror stories of other carriers bricking somehow while messing around downgrading to 4.2 from 4.4
Sent from my XT1055 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

No. I was on 4.2, awaiting an OTA to 4.4. I followed the SlapMyMoto method on 4.2 up until the spot where it says " Now go ahead and take the OTA". Then I proceeded from there. I was on 4.2, did the steps up to the OTA, then waited till I could take it. Took THE OTA, then continued.
I really hope there's some hope for those who grabbed the OTA before doing their homework, I had a USCC XT901 (Electrify M) that I was able to root after the OTA that killed it for most. Maybe I'm lucky, maybe I just pay attention better than some, who knows.
Just thought I'd make these files available here for anyone who might need them.

I have seen very mixed results over here on the Sprint side but unfortunately for me personally, I have been staring at a very beautiful paperweight for the last 3 days while waiting for my new one in the mail.
