Okay, this was just an idea I had, but lets see if it works... assuming everyone can keep it civil here.
Post here when you receive the update, and put in the following information:
Date/Time Updated
Previous build (DI18, DG27, etc)
Geographic location
Months/Years with Sprint
With that information, maybe we can build a pattern and have an idea of when everyone's updates are scheduled.
Edit to add: Apparently release has been pushed to 9PM PST/12A EST-2/22/11
Good idea

You do know that this has nothing to do with you getting the update, right?
Don't the Android phones have some sort of internal identifier??? Kind of like Blackberry having PIN numbers. I thought Android had an internal identifier unique to each unit.
If so, they could be enabling a block of identifiers at a time.
If nobody on this forum has received the update yet, I would have to imagine it has not begun. However, androinica.com is reporting that it has begun.
the que goes by ESN lowest numbers get it before higher numbers. someone will post it on the net as soon as someone with half a brain gets the update.
I just checked my phone.... nothing YET and I'm in California near S.F. area.
There is someone in the sprint community forums who says they received it already.

I was curious about that as well, but obviously no one wants to post their esn here. If that is all it is, then bummer. But I don't know, I don't work for Sprint or anything, that was the point of the thread
Based on the previous information, it sounded like current build had more to do with it than ESN, but again, I don't know, that's the purpose of the thread
Yeah, best we can do is just wait until somebody gets it.
It's like trying to find the Golden Ticket.
Could you guys all stop rambling BS, this thread is going to be 10 pages long before anyone even gets the first OTA. If you guys wanna talk BS why not use this sites chat feature.
I like this thread. Will possibly come in handy for future Sprint updates.
I am flashing back to DI18 now and will post the update.zip if I get it before its posted here.
Guys if you get the update DO NOT INSTALL OR REBOOT. PM one of the developers and we will help you dump the cache. I have heard of several people getting the update but failing during the install process... It hopefully won't be long.
I assume that we'll need to be on the stock rom to get the update. Is that the case? I'm about to flash it back right now...

Yes. You will need to be on Stock DI18 with all of the bloat apps installed.
I'm sure someone will release a streamlined update.zip nixing the verification.

Those of you flashing back, make sure you don't install it as we don't know if we can even root it yet with current methods.

I'm posting this up here so everyone can see it and doesn't have to go through threads to see it.
If this 2.1 update is legit, there is a way to grab the OTA update. \
Essentially what you will need to do is decline the update when your phone asks you about it.
Run this command on your computer with the SDK installed and adb set up:
Code:
adb -d logcat UpdateReceiver:I CheckinService:I *:S
Post the link that is returned.
As a note - I'll throw this in my signature for now as well.
2.1 will be difficult if not impossible to downgrade from. If you upgrade, and we find root on 1.5, you are out of luck if the exploit has been patched. I think we *should* be able to downgrade the phone, but I also think that it *will* require some technical skills. If you lack these skills, realize you *WILL NOT* get root if we find an exploit that has been patched in 2.1 but not in 1.5.
Simply put: I have every intention of upgrading my phone when this update hits it. But, I also have every intention of finding a way to downgrade it afterwards and keep working on root with 1.5. Then, I'll post a walkthrough for downgrading. More than likely it will involve a goldcard (which sucks to make kind of).
Enjoy, and thanks! Post that link if you get an OTA alert!
so this will give us the 2.1 update? question is, will it have the upgraded sense ui? i read on another post not from this site that eris users who upgraded to 2.1 through a mishap with verizon had their phone completely useless.
if your phone has the option to update, that command will print out a URL of where the OTA update file is located. It should be something like clients.android.google.com/updates/desirec/desirec-ota.(6random numbers).(8 random hex).zip. That will allow the rest of us to get the update before its pushed to our devices.
I have an extra eris, so messege me if you need to try something out. I have Ubuntu installed already.
I'll get that thing up here IF it actually pops. Has VZW been able to clear up if 2.1 is indeed a myth or truth?
My phone just randomly reset. I'm calling VZW as we speak. I'll see what is going on while I'm on the phone with them.
My phone just randomly reset as well. But no update
Verizon just let me know that the current version installed on our phones is 1.17.605.1. I'm being transferred to tech support to fix a network connnection problem I've been having, but after that I'll make sure to ask about the 2.1 update.
Thanks!

Yeah i was having network issues yesturday actually. i did a hard reset twice. the internet was working but i couldnt make phone calls or send texts. called verizon as soon as i got home, and they told me there was an issue with the services. had me do some weird stuff but i didnt write it down =/
2.1 from Verizon:
So, from the mouth of the dragon, verizon told me that "I know the update is coming *soon*, but no official date has been set yet". The Tech Support rep told me that most of the posts I've probably seen online have been fake (sorry, but I actually believe most of them, I want the leaked copy if there is one, or the OTA if it does come out). So, simply put, I'd assume you WILL NOT be getting an OTA in the next few days. But, soon for verizon is better than "soon" for Blizzard (Blizzard's definition of soon is sometime between now and the end of the universe, preferably closer to the now side).
Thanks!

December 20th 2012. Just to point out (12-20-20-12)
I got to see an Eris running 2.1 with Sense and some of its neat new enhancements. I also got to see why it's not released yet. Some of the defects aren't too nice. If you manage to get a copy of the update, I would not use it on a device you use actively.
Wait until release. There's a reason it's not being pushed, yet. I can get it now, if I wanted, but it even scares me The person who showed me his device is a developer.
I have no release date. As far as I know, there isn't one, yet. Just "any day now."

I saw the tweet from Samsung about it being officially rolled out for the Vibrant... but does that mean T-Mobile has already started rolling it out?
Is there a changelog for JI6?

Good post rhcp. So many people installed the OTA but no one willing to share the build? come on people
Someone who has installed the OTA JI6.
Please post your build.prop from /system/ so we know if the leak is diff from the OTA.
Very simple to do.
Code:
adb pull /system/build.prop
Then post it here. or on paste bin.
Thanks!

Thats great info you posted. But, it does not tell us if the leak we all installed/running roms off of is the REAL JI6 or its just a PRE-leak version with the bugs still there.
Hence, why i want a build.prop so we can compare build dates.

its just like when JI5 was leaked. It took 78 pages just for someone to post the temp file that KIES downloaded
I am starting to wonder if this update is the same build as the leaked JI6. There are 2 apps that I can't find in the market but I can see them stock. I can see them on Appbrain but when I go to install it the phone just says download unsuccessful. Same thing happened on JI5.
One app is Fandango Movies. Can someone with the official OTA check and see if you can see it in the market?
Thanks.
Yea i also went all stock this morning and waiting.
Another thing with leaked JI6 is 5.1 was broken
does anyone know if i need to have a data plan to receive the update? or notice of the update? i currently don't have a data plan.

Nothing at all about dk28
no more GPS?
I don't see anything at all on my Sprint page about this update or even anything specific to the version of software on my phone.
I installed this update earlier today and the GPS on my phone no longer works. It worked before and I never noticed any problems or delays that others reported. I've tried wiping the data and cache numerous times and even re-installing the upgrade but nothing seems to work.
Does anyone have any other suggestions on what I might try? At this point I question whether or not this is the same update we'll receive OTA...
Thanks,
Scott

So you think Sprint's plan is to push this update to everyone OTA and then have all the end-users install Odin and fix it? Even while denying that there is such a release? Hilarious!
This is not an official rollout. It is a leak. Those who install it, and are comfortable with some level of hacking, may proceed at their own risk, as usual.
But no one should believe this is an official release from Sprint.

Is it actually worthwhile to update from dk17 to dk29? I'm not really having any issues on dk17. Might just wait to confirm its final before going through the reinstall process.

Um.. That makes no since..
He had to odin BACK to di18 because he installed a leak..
the official is based off the knowledge of the user never hacking the phone and leaving it stock.
Therefore; no the average user will not need to use odin.. infact won't even know about it.
But those who have come to xda WILL need to odin back to stock di18 in order for the official Froyo to work when it is launched.

Suppose you got an update OTA. Wouldn't you consider it official?
If you have followed the original thread (which has been closed), the update happened OTA to a non-Sprint person. That is why many people claim it's official.
Why would Samsung release DK28 as official Froyo full of bugs when their Eclair builds were flawless? It doesn't make any sense. I sure wish people would stop saying that this is the official release and confusing new people. This is NOT the official release. There is NO evidence for that. Its NOT a finished product at this point.

UGH. How many times does this need to be explained? He had a .4 hardware revision. .4 hardware revisions are for TESTERS. He received the update OTA because SOMEHOW he got ahold of a hardware revision that only TESTERS should have. This has all been discussed a thousand times.
Also, if this WAS the official release it would be a disaster for sprint.

I didn't remove the link. It still works. But the Sprint site is very slow today. If you manage to get through, you will see that the quote above is accurate.
Here is a download for the 5.0.2 soak test from Motorola for XT1053 devices. I have not tried this yet, I received this from a friend who reported it successfully working on his device.
I do not take responsibility if this file bricks, destroys, or sets fire to your phone. Use this at your own risk. I have not tested this file, therefore I cannot confirm that it works.
If you do venture to try this, please report back.

Just wait a few more days (after 4 months a few days seem like nothing).

how exactly is patching a factory zip update complicating future updates?

The OTA updates, including soak/beta or whatever you want to call pre-release received via the Moto Feedback Network, and those pushed by the carriers, have pre-flash validation checks in them.
They check for certain things in build.prop, particular files (and checks their hash/check sum), etc. IF your phone doesn't match, the OTA wont install. In addition, with the OTA's and these leaked ZIPs including updates to GPT.BIN and the bootloader, and history showing how easy it is to brick trying to downgrade when those are involved, that could complicate trying to get back on track should Moto or the Carriers push something else out.
A while back, I think it was the Droid X, there were leaked updates, people were flashing them, they were not meant to be released and the people who installed them got STUCK unable to update for a while. It was a while ago, so my memory is fuzzy, but a process was finally found, but it took a while, and a few updates, to bring those people back in line. And it was a little more difficult due to locked bootloaders.
So practicing a little caution is a good thing.

Nice way to justify leaking stolen software. Always amusing to see wanna-be devs pirating someone else's work and somehow justifying it to themselves.
KidJoe,
One person can update his bootloader, others supplied with system partition backups don't have to. Deployed Android doesn't require updated motoboot, or secure things. You know what I mean...
But hey, it's illegal, firstly. And secondly, let's not spoil Motorola good intentions to bring us the latest Android, and quickly. Sooon )
Can you post a link to the new post with the file?

Quickly is not the right word when it has being months of LP being out.

I'm with Motorola on this one.
You should see s4 after lollipop update.
The battery gives Hardly 1 hour of screen time.
It has rendered the phone unusable.
At least we are getting a reasonably stable update.
Also getting features from new flagship.
Who does that

Besides other things the bootloader gets updated. It's not so easy to go back to 4.4.4.

Actaully, based on history with the 2013 X...
That doesn't always work right. i.e. When it was found that 4.4.2 broke MotoWpNoMo and SlapMyMoto, some tried upgrading by flashing only PARTS of the 4.4.2 rom (so they could roll back).. They ran into features not working, like App Drawer -> Settings -> Security.
We've seen other issues arise when partially flashing too, but they were a while back so my memory is a little fuzzy on the specific details.
I flashed it days ago.... My phone is fine

Quick question are you on T-Mobile. Do you have the 4g LTE or just 4g on the status bar?

I have TMo and the XT1053 and I'm only showing 4G but with LTE speeds. I saw a screenshot on here of someone with what appears to be a special T-Mobile build of the Lollipop soak test with LTE in the signal bars though.

Too small for marshmallow. It's the new stagefright patch.

I will gladly share, as soon as it gets pushed to US devices, seems it's going everywhere else.

Yes, US has been the very last region to update both times, so far, and I expect it will be again this time, too. The second update didn't take long at all to get to every US user, though, once the US update pushed. By the time I got my notification everyone else already had it and the update URL was all but pointless. I'm not really all that concerned with getting this one, but man I hope that 6.0 update hits every region fast. We're building a larger user base now, though, so maybe we'll get lucky and XDA members from each region will be among the early people to get the push notification.

For whatever reason, they start the soak tests later here than other places also. I don't think they've even started the soak tests here yet.
