sorry to tick you off.
You should be able to udate to the OTA by using the update.zip the same way you did for the leak, if we don't get it over the air...

cool i appreciate it i wasnt sure thats all
OTA update will/should come threw just fine. Now haivng it install correctly could be a whole different story tho as we DO NOT know the specifics on the file that was posted over the weekend everyone jumped on before it was taken down.
Put it this way tho I've had engineering units from mfgs in the past and even those update correctly OTA so I wouldn't be to concerned about it. Plus if won't take long for someone to actuaaly grab and post the update.zip once it is pushed out.
Yeah that would be good. I still haven't received mine.

Has anyone actually gotten the OTA froyo yet? I've read things that said it was within 24 hours of the 20th... Also, when you say loading a custom theme, that doesn't mean a launcher right? Like LauncherPro?
OTA is not out yet. All previous info about release dates was just rumors.
And no, custom themes doesn't mean launchers, since those are just apps. It means actually modifying system files like framework-res.apk for different status bar, notification area, etc...
You really don't know as every company handles it differently and Moto for some reason is trying to keep the device locked down. However if you look at past phones (at least the two Androids I have had)
G1 normally you got the option to upgrade but you would lose root or would have to wait for JesusFreke to get the file and root it.
The Droid Eris there were actually 3 leaks to 2.1 all which prevented you from getting the OTA because of the boatloader #, however a couple of weeks after they finished updating everyone HTC released an OTA for all leakers (which allowed everyone to gain root conveniently enough if they wanted to downgrade and get root)
So really no one knows except Moto but normally leakers get it one way or another either through OTA or having someone upload the OTA as an update.zip file and you flash it to your phone. Hope that helps and wasn't too much of a history lesson lol

Our current estimate is that full deployment should be completed over the next few weeks.
Also be aware that Motorola support agents are not able to push the software update directly to individual phones.

sorry for a bit off the topic
but is there anything official in regards to when 2.2 is coming out? cuz they were saying end of summer and to day is aug27th and still nothin
Summer ends September 23rd, so I am guessing very late summer. Probably some time around the second week of September, if not that last week of summer......hopefully not later than that.

I just read that motorola is locking the leakers out of the official update. Now, is this even a trivial matter. Can't you just downgrade to 2.1 and then upgrade to the ota.

Yeah man, what you read is true. Good ole' Moto has decided to block us out. Luckily we can always downgrade and then OTA.
All I need is someone to post a video on how to do this. Step by Step like am a complete noob with no idea of what is going on. Anyone up for the challenge?
wouldn't you just use rsd lite and flash the sbf back to stock. Also what if this is a trap set up by motorola to get people back on their software. Im thinking...since motorola is so shady, anyway....that its just a little fishy. After the eris leak, i think a lot of people are pretty certain on a way out before they flash something. You would think that motorola would know this as well....im just sayin'
You have to sbf your device.. After that it still wont boot, so once your done sbf"ing you go into the factory recovery and do a reset, good to go

To be honest, verizons networks check the build number of your device in order to see if you need the update or not depending on what version you run. I'm sure verizon could already of went through the list ahead of time and if it saw a mismatching build number to what its suppose to have, it could just block our phones ID from receiving OTAs

I totally love my X, but Motorola's over-the-top hostility towards the modding community is starting to wear on me. I know that they could give two ****s about having me as a customer, but I am considering moving on to a Fascinate.

has verizon done this with a previous phone? I put a custom rom on a droid1 and then took it back to stock 2.0.1 and then upgraded ota. I was just wondering if verizon has done this to any of their phones before
deleted this post
Just found this from AndroidLive:
The Motorola Support Forums mentioned the following today…
"WARNING: Do NOT load the leaked 2.2 upgrade that has been floating around on the Internets. There is currently no upgrade path from that load to the official 2.2 load that will be released by early September. Unless you have some plan to flash your phone back to the current official load, you could be stuck on the leaked version."
So obviously we will in fact be able to flash back to 2.1 to get the official upgrade if we wish
MOTOROLA SUCKS!!! How can a cell phone company near the brink of destruction come back and act like they are a big deal. I should have waited for the epic and moved to sprint. I might just sell my x and get the samsung tab when it comes out and use a regular cell phone again.
"has verizon done this with a previous phone? I put a custom rom on a droid1 and then took it back to stock 2.0.1 and then upgraded ota. I was just wondering if verizon has done this to any of their phones before"
The X is the 3rd android model i've owned on verizon, and i've never seen them do that.

Even if we did get blocked out (I doubt it, besides there is always a way around) why bother yourself too much with it. Those of us who loaded the leaked version obviously didn't have a problem with using leaked software. We will just load the future versions when they are leaked...

In response to the needing directions...look up "Droid X SBF File released" on these forums to find them. I would link it for you but I can't post links yet and I also don't want to just post the directions as if I was taking credit for them.
How does this even matter? There's a few ROMs in the works and we have custom recovery up and running. There will undoubtedly be a "vanilla" ROM coming out soon enough, and once that stuff hits, are you really gonna be like "OH NOES I NEED TO INSTALL THE STOCK OTA UPDATE!"? No, you're not. On top of that, worst case scenario: you just SBF flash and then install the OTA updates. "Problem" solved.
This strange, its probably the same build. Therefore no ota lol. Just a thought.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Like some here, I could care less knowing that it will come full of bloatware and blur... which no one likes. Oh, and that we will be getting even better firmware from folks like Birdman and p3Droid
MOTOROLA- YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF for letting such good hardware be sold with such an unusable UI.
When I flash stock and blur is running with all of its widgets up the yin-yang, I can't hardly imagine it is the same phone as to what I, and others, have made the phone what it could be.
I almost feel embarrassed to state I am a X owner when I am not talking to a fellow android user and they know nothing of the phone other than what they saw in the store=CRAP.
Out of all of us who want custom ROMs and made the effort to flash the leaked Froyo build who really cares if Moto blocks us out. Fact is we rooted our phoens and wanted Froyo so we did what needed to be done. To further add most of us I'm sure are removing all there crap bloatware to begin with. Bottom line IMO is piss on the Moto/VZW update. If it is anything like what was relesased on the phone it will be garbage and we don't want it anyways.
And as mentioned if people really want the OTA update not a big deal to SBF flash the .604 2.1 file and yo uwill be fine to get the update. Oh and for everyone reference the leaked Froyo build we have is NOT the official OTA update there is at least one or 2 newer builds already.
If you guys hold off on the 2.2 OTA, ill have a pre-rooted .zip to install (will work no matter what version your on )

I am talking about with the bootloader, not rooting.
But I lied I couldn't wait.
I SBF'd from LEAKED 2.2 to 2.1 (DONT GO FROM OTA TO 2.1 you will get hozed).
then OTA'd to 2.2
rooted.
Installed Superuser, updated SU.
Deodexed
Installed 3 Apps (Bootstrapper, Rom manager and TBH's app)
Installed Red spinning android bootimage
Installed Big Droid X Serenity Red
Applied Bootstrap
Applied ClockWork from inside Rom Manager
Backed up
So far thats as "brave" as I have gotten. I am more worried about his tweet that Moto updated the bootloader though then anything. Hate to see it affect things like Obsidian roms progress.
I doubt it'll hamper efforts all that much. They changed keys, that's all. I'll bet koush and others will bring us a 2.2 sbf and then things will be back up and running with the ROMs running the updated keys.
I will update as soon as birdman releases his update.zip, I almost took the plunge last night until I saw his tweet. A couple questions though:
1. I have removed bloatware, altered build.prop, and themed, does that need to be undone before updating?
2. For this that have taken the plunge already are the bugs from the leaked 2.2 fixed (SMS time stamp, battery usage force closing, upload problems, etc)?
You're going to have to be back to 2.1u1 and unrooted. I'm assuming that includes having your bloatware back as well, but if you're willing to be daring then go ahead and try it without the bloatware. Maybe the push will restore that anyway and you can just remove it again after you regain root.
I'm going to just bide my time. Tranquility 2.3.5rc + Serenity + 2.3.15 is VERY snappy by itself so I'm quite happy with that.

According to his tweet it will work upgrading from any version of 2.2, so I know I will not have to go back to 2.1
I hope they changed the boot loader on the 2.2 update for the X. Push back the progress. Yay, encrypted bootloader!

Let me explain my further reasoning of my actions. I am an android fan. Everything we want android has, that's why we like it. When motorola applied the encrypted bootloader that was one thing closer to something we don't like. Control and the lack of customization. If i wanted to be tied down to a firmware I would of gone to the iphone. Were not ever going to get pass the encrypted bootloader no full kernal port will ever come close. Changing files .apk names does not mean a full port your still using native apps. As android users we should of boycotted this product. I would love to have seen the same fate as the droid 2 - discontinued! The X is a disappoint and as android user we should of let this one pass over. The screen is ugly compared to the super amoled and the way I see it that's the main selling point on the X. So why wouldn't you switch to a better quality screen that'd only .3 inch smaller. Camera on the X is horrible for its 8 megapixel. Dual antenna is a gimmick, think about it, if you can't pick up signal with one antenna that's 2 inches away then your not going to pick sig on the other one. Point is android is a open source, motorola is closing the doors, instead of embracing and focusing development on this phone we should of directed toward another device.

That doesn't help those of us who have this phone and don't have the $ to upgrade before our two years is up.
2.3.15 is available on the tbh app and should soon be available to the public. Serenity is available HERE on xda in the mods section.

Every one see the birds tweets this morning, any one that applied the ota can never go back to 2.1. YOU WILL BRICK!
so if you hose something and cant get into recovery your stuck till the 2.2 sbf is leaked.
Im sooooooo glad i only applied the leaked .15

when you say 2.3.15, are you talking about the rooted and deodexed "upgrade.zip" or do you mean the SBF file of it?
I thought the "upgrade.zip" was available last Sunday in their app... and was already posted to the public on MDW on like Monday or yesterday.
If the 2.3.15 SBF, that would be GREAT news.
Just got an email from motorola and it seems they are beta testing a new firmware. It didnt say when it would be released or what was included but last time i got the email the firmware rolled out that day. Maybe this is the hsupa update were waiting for. Maybe motorola actually gets to finalize code before firmwares are released. It would make sense since all bloatware can be uninstalled so easily where as when i had my captivate att forced u to delete bloatware. Just an idea. In the end that would mean faster updates since were waiting on moto and not att.ive had this phone for 2 months and i have had as many updates as i got with the captivate which i had for 9 months

Well whoever gets this first make sure you post results. I hope the upgrade to gingerbread comes out as quickly. It sucks having a locked bootloader but at least there addressing some of the issues. Who knows maybe we will get an unlocked bootloader. But for now I'll be happy with the root privilege and gingerbread. Now motorola would be smart to release it since the only phones that offer gingerbread are the nexus phones

Don't hold your breath xD I guess this might be the HSUPA update.
Hopefully it is the real deal.
Only thing I'm wondering if this is just a HSUPA update, or if there's more included. Hopefully they don't break root again.
Just received my email as well, I was about to start a topic, but I guess I wasn't the first one to receive it
Personally, I think I will say no to beta testing, as I enjoy running GreyBlur/GingerBlur and having root access much more than running their bloated updates.
Of course, if this beta update gives some Gingerbread lovin', I may change my tune...after all, we've always got the older SBF's to fall back on!
I doubt that this will only be an HSUPA update. AT&T is also going to be enabling sideloading due to the Amazon problem. I sure hope it includes fixes for the Audio issues too.

"Breaking root" is on the to-do list of every official OTA update, unfortunately, so you can count on that.
I can't wait to update! Im always excited by updates haha. I don't care if it breaks root access.

As am I. I just wish they'd give out the release notes ASAP.
Because if this is HSUPA, I'll be glad.
If it were HSUPA + Gingerbread, I'd be ecstatic. Motoblur or not, considering the Blur that Droid X owners now have.
Recieved my e-mail, too. While i kinda doubt it'd be Gingerbread (although i wouldn't complain for a second if it were), i'm still kinda keeping my hopes up that if it IS the HSUPA update, and AT&T really DID want to test HSUPA on the 4G phones to see if their network could handle it prior to enabling it on everyone's phone... that they were the ones who kinda forced Moto's hand in keeping the bootloader locked. I know it's like wishing your Prius would turn into a Tesla.... but that's my feeling and i'm momentarily sticking to it.
are most of you guys going to sign up for it?
Delete please
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I signed up also.
Honestly, I highly doubt AT&T ever intended on giving us HSUPA. I think they were hoping they could just put us all off until HSPA+ was available in all areas and reserve HSUPA for Iphones. Not until we complained (like mad) did they even start to look at the issue. The press that we gave them made them give it to us also.
Is anyone else outraged about the Motorola milestone 2 getting an official 2.4 update. My nexus s still hasn't even gotten 2.3.4. I must have been stupid to think I was buying a phone that would get its updates accordingly. What do you all think about this? Should the Google nexus team get their $#!/ together? Or am I just too impatient?

I just el oh el'd.
I'm sorry, either I'm terribly misinformed, or there is no such thing as 2.4 now, or will there ever be.
From what I've gathered, the jump will be made to 3.1, as announced in the Google IO.
I'm not sure if this referenced 2.4.24 is a specific Motorola thing, but as far as I'm concerned any Official Android updates coming from Google would go through the Nexus phone first.
Seems like you're the one that needs to "get their $#!/ together".
That Motorola update is not the Android version number. You can relax.
Oops thanks for the info my heart just started beating again. Still holding on strong for my 2.3.4 update though. No ota or manual update as of yet "
just manually update it if your so anxious

Would love to my friend but I am one of the unfortunate ones with gr154 kb2 version. Or do you know something I don't ? Because I haven't found any links yet.
I'm running the nexus s on rogers Canada. No OTA before I flashed CM7.
