That guy is a fake and a fraud. There is no supporting information and he has "leaked" sourceless BS in the past.

I heard April, June, and July....all from "creditable" sources. I don't know what to believe
....at this point I am just making good on "what we have" and counting my blessings/creating some good stuff
The "real" 2.1 update is going to suck eggs anyway, until the devs here get a hold of it and make it right.
ANY date that you hear that isnt directly from sprint is inccorect. We dont have a date, other than second quater wich has just begun.

Oh, there are plenty of dates "directly from Sprint" being tossed around. I don't belive those, either.
The date I'll believe is the morning I log on to this forum and see a post saying "Holy ****! It's out! Danger! Don't install yet or you'll brick your phone!"
This will be followed by eight thousand posts saying "Just installed official Sprint 2.1 and now my phone is bricked. Please help?"
THAT'S when I'll believe it's really out.

Sprint techs aren't much better than the guy who makes up his own "news releases" to post on his blog. Sprint tech is the equivalent to a cashier at a supermarket, except they get prompts that tell them what to do.
It came out June 35th, 2008...duh
people should stop it with the sprint release threads lol...we already have 2.1 here at XDA.thanks to the devs....lol...why yall trippin bout sprint releasing theirs.lol

Because when the "official" release comes, then the devs will be working with raw materials that have all the bugs worked out.
Personally, I think the official release is coming soon, and the devs are already working with it, but that's just a gut feeling. It would be cool to know for sure...
This just in... any release from Sprint is going to suck compared to what the devs here have given us already... we now resume our regularly scheduled awesomeness of dev ROMs

Well all we know is that it will be announced at IO... that doesnt mean released.
i hate this thread........all negative thinkers..... no one's blood group is B+ ....
Who cares? It'll almost certainly be leaked within the month regardless.
So it looks like they will be talking about the juicy parts of Android on Thursday. Here's the program guide guys.

lilH3rmit send that tweet right now
www.github.com/android
the reason why they think it's june is because Adobe said that Flash 10.1 will be in android in june.
Then Google said that Flash will be in 2.2. Google never gave any date for 2.2/froyo. Hell they could even not announce it tomorrow since it's actually not known what the keynote is. Though obviously they'd be insane not to lol
Most likely 2.2 will be announced tomorrow with an SDK and will come out as an OTA to the Nexus/Droid and other phones starting in June

Here are a few quotes from good ol birdman-
KeithBlak Keith Black
@_mrbirdman_ Mr. Sir, everyone has been real quiet about the dX bootloader, and it seems some are giving up. Is there still hope?
_mrbirdman_ Stephen Bird
@KeithBlak There is hope....just you wait and see

Im not quitting work on the Dx, I'm just not releasing anything for it until a certain thing gets released.

Many of you were already aware that birdman was up to something interesting. I am posting this to reinforce hope in our small Droid X Community. Good things are just over the horizon.
I just want 2.1 back. I should have read further before stupidly, and blindly, just upgrading to the OTA because I could. I really hope this is what is being worked on.
he is waiting for the 2.2 sbf to modify the bootloader.. but with motorola keeping it close to chest, its hard to get a hold of.. SOMEONE SEND IT TO HIM!!
He tweeted a lone tweet last night, "certain thing". Sounds like he may have obtained the Samuel Bravo Foxtrot! Let's hope for some news soon.

That would be awesome.
What is it that everyone is looking for?? I like the OTA and what I can do with it.
Yeah.. I can't mess with the kernel or bootloader... but I rarely do that anyway. What I do on a normal basis.. can already be done.

Everyone is looking for phone customization. What may be fine for you may not be even close to enough for others.
Does anyone know the IRC channel birdman uses? I would love to offer assistance in the cracking of the bootloader in any way I can...

How about the removal of blur? Or the simple ability to flash a vanilla Android 2.2 the way Google designed it?
Not a biggie foe me- but there is a lot more people could want.

Eh, his point is you can already do that, and in his defense, he is pretty much right. However, we cannot modify the kernel, and thus cannot have a true Rom, this is something I would like to be able to do.
Once the bootloader is unlocked/bypassed we will then be able to have true built from source Rom's/Kernels and unlock the true potential of the DX. Cyanogen has said he will support the Droid X/2 once its unlocked, CCR is already building an AOSP Rom but with the Moto kernel for obvious reasons so there is hope on the horizon. A leak of the "Sierra Bravo Foxtrot" will be found, then the fun begins for everyone as we will all have a way back to safety.

That's what I was looking for.
So to sum it up:
We can already customize the Droid X like any other android phone on the market (remove bloatware, theme frameworks, play with root priveleges, etc)... but some ppl are wanting more.
The ppl that are wanting more... are wanting to get to the brains (kernel & bootloader) so they can build a ROM from scratch, get some CM lovin, TRUE overclocking, BF scheduling, UV'ing, TRUE recovery, etc.
I understand that... and always understood it lol. I just always wondered why I saw so many posts asking for things that can already be done.. and have been.
Not to sound ignorant, but why is the 2.2 SBF so hard to come by?? Dosent every Verizon store in the Nation have the 2.2 SBF file in there tech support department? You think it would of been leaked by now considering the people guarding the worlds secrets are run of the mill, 12 dollers an hour verizon workers in every store you go in

A. most of us work for Flextronics not VZW. B. make a lot more than 12 dollars per hour. C. The SBF is not on any of our PSTs, if it was you would have it.

Motorola has a team searching the intertubes (internet) for any mention of a leaked Sierra Bravo Foxtrot and have had their lawyers send them nice cease emails to both the poster and the fourm owners warning them to remove the links and delete any uploaded software.. I have had 1 thread deleted from here just because i asked for it..
hope that explains it.
edit: I didnt mention this before.. but it was already leaked twice.. and taken down twice.

You'd think it would be on rapidshare or something by now if that was the case. I find it really hard to believe that 2.2 sbf has been leaked at all.
Do a google search for "droid x 2.2 sbf" and look at your first couple hits.. you will see that the moderators have removed the posts because of threats they received from motorola.
as for improving our chances of finding it we need the actual file name..
Get the file name and we have just up'd our chances by 10x.

I just read through that article and apparently tonight at 8pm, an update will be available on Samsungmobile.com that will be compatible with all Samsung galaxy s devices that will upgrade them to 2.2.
I hope he means ALL devices. Or I am going to be pissed. :\

I just saw the comments and thought the same thing. It's kind of stupid that he would attach a picture of the carrier variants even when the update probably isn't for them.
Something useful will come from the source code, just watch. Someone will find something.

i really really hope this IS true as it says in softpedia.com that the article "qoutes" samsung electroniscs!!!! i wont hold my breath but ill def be checking tonight
So I went to update my apps, and the app "Qik for Atrix" (which obviously is an app only for the Atrix) had an update available. When I went to look at the list of changes, the first one there was "Support for Gingerbread". Idk if the people who work on Qik are in contact with Motorola etc. but I just thought it was exciting that it is coming soon. I mean the "accepted" timeframe is July, right? And i thought I heard around the forums that updates are released on Tuesdays only? If that is the case, then there are only four Tuesdays in July, so yay!

if this is the case, should I even bother rooting and installing GingerBlur? I mean besides the greatness of root.

There is no point unless you want to stick with 2.2.2.
I am sure they are not in contact with Motorola, or know anything more then we do. Since they made an app for a specific phone, I am guessing the Dev owns one and keeps up with it on here just like us.
Checked for updates and I got upgrade to GB 4.5.47. Im on 2.3.4 so im gonna reflash sbf and try it

Qik compatibility for Gingerbread simply means changing the Camera driver used for the FFC, because Gingerbread uses a standard driver (across any Android device) for an FFC, while Froyo lacks that. As a result, any Android phone on Froyo with an FFC uses a custom-made driver by that manufacturer (Moto, HTC, etc), which is why the original Qik didn't work for the Atrix initially.
An update to Qik has no (read: ZERO) connection to any impending release of GB for the Atrix.

Please at least don't post your fail results after you realize you can't update in a new thread since there are already enough threads about this!
And BTW...........because of all the fail results already reported, yours will be an EPIC fail of Darwin proportions!
Op got his answer, thread closed.
Hansel and Gretel are busy looking for Gingerbread too.
