I am not seeing any real info on the OTA update. I got it this afternoon. I have noticed so far
- Wifi calling
- Hotspot capability
- Can now update Goggles
Really? I haven't heard anything!!!

Pictures. Thanks.
What -- another report of this?
That other thread went away...
I'm calling bull. If people started getting them earlier this afternoon we'd see news stories and many more threads on it.
EDIT: maybe not bull... http://theandroidsite.com/2010/10/11/t-mobile-adding-wifi-calling-to-the-g2-via-ota-update/
Really ? Can someone provide instructions on how to upload it. This could be very useful for the root cause. We all called the other guy for trolling. Did a mod delete that thread?

I have anecdotal evidence from other websites claiming to be receiving an OTA update.
Prove it, OP.

Sorry the photos came out bad, but you can see all of the relevant info.

I must admit, I didn't think this was true but after I saw those pics.....I wept.....
How much memory are you showing?
The same. App Monster Pro shows 1.29 GB
Isn't there usually a code to force updates or am I mistaken on this?
You're kidding me... I returned my G2 because I get terrible signal indoors on campus, and I couldn't live without my BB's UMA so I figured I'd wait until it was enabled. The tards on the phone and in the store said it's looking closer to December for the release...
EDIT: Err... that was a useless post. I hope the updates become widespread; I'll definitely rush back to get the phone.
If this is real.... this could be big for getting perm. root available. Either way the tether option is sweet! Did the radio version change anyone? My G2 is off and charging right now... My signal is crap compared with my MTS. Really need a newer radio version.

I was thinking there was but there is a section in "About phone" for system updates. Mine says up to date but I guess thats if you missed your prompt or something...
Sorry for 4 posts in a row but... I'm just excited! Dude, this better be real or I'm fly to Cali and ***** slap you. Ha! Seriously, though.... thanks for the info!

Right but I think there is a USSD code for forcing an actual check for OTA updates that are available.

doesnt look like it includes flash, but has the *things* required to support it once 10.2 is available for android
here is the changelog.. a bit vague though

Is there going to be any problem updating for us rooted folk?
My xoom is stock but I only have the wy fy model how can I get these updates?

the wifi model isn't out yet... how do you have it!
I went to Best buy today and asked for a unlocked xoom for wy Fy use only and they sold it to me. I didnt sign up for any service at all. They took it off the shelf and took my cash.
Apparantly the official files to unroot and lock again are posted to the motodev site but noone on the moto forums will tell me where. I am not seeing them anywhere.

Thats about it! I just walked into Best Buy and told them I wanted a xoom and didnt want to sign up for any service. I am just useing my home router to get on line. I had to pay the full cost for it. I hope I didnt do anything wrong? Anyway, my question remains unanswerd how do I get the needed updates?

Matt, the Moto forum mod, is working to fix the link for the official software. As soon as the files are accessible I will post them in a new post.
Motorola official relock Files are posted here
http://bit.ly/dX9few
How do you know this is the update? There is no date/info on the page.
This is not the update these are the files for those that are rooted to get back to Official software so they can fastboot oem lock
And by doing this, the device will go back to stock/out of the box status?
Do you know if this will wipe the 32gb partition (sdcard)?
Yes it does wipe the device. It is back to stock status but you will not have to reactivate the device. If Moto or VZ can tell its been unlocked I dont know.
hi,
guys, I don't want to dishearten you but did you think a minute about the way motorola will unlock your bootloader in the future update??
as they will release an update.zip like in the past, I'm not really sure if they will include the unlockable bootloader inside it and, not sure also if an android update can flash a bootloader. So I am a little anxious for you guys, mine is already unlocked...
Its unlocked for ever

Moto said they are going to do it. They already dont it on the leaked future builds, not to mention the one Kenn is running which is an ATT GB. Not to mention this is the same way the did it on the Xoom. Theres nothing to worry about, its unlocked 4 ever.
lol - it's already done.

His point is he thinks its going to be removed from the final build. He states he is already unlocked himself.
LOL Someone needs to read through the forums. Bootloader is unlocked already.
Agree with Jay ... some one needs to read the OP ^_^ LOL
I, maybe just optimistically, think they will. The backlash, *****ing, low sales, the fact they said they would, and the fact that we have it already all points, IMO, to them releasing it. Motorola exec. - "Well the kids already have it so lets release it and make us look good." If they are on our side, at least give us what we want, they sell more. DROID - ground breaking - unlockable - sold like hot cakes. ATRIX - ground breaking - locked - not so much

Does it really matter? For those that actually want an unlocked bootloader, they can get it in the dev forum. For the average user who will still get the OTA update, they probably didn't care about the bootloader to begin with.

I'm guess i'm still an 'average user' when it comes to android, but this is where I came to become a superuser (pun intended). I don't think i'm ready to mess with the HK build yet, but I definitely plan to flash a few ROMs when the official unlocked GB update comes through. And if it gets yanked before the final release, hopefully i'll know enough by then to use kenneth's version, or if worst comes to worst, the HK build.

It's not like the HKTW build is as unstable as the build TBH gave us. The only things that don't work is the front facing camera, and fingerprint sensor.
I just didn't restore from a backup, and you can fix the WebTop. So my phone is running fine, and it seems even more stable than FroYo (Besides the obvious bugs)

It really dose not matter if thay include the unlockable bootloader in every update or not. As long as their is a way for it to be done. Thats all the matters. Really only the N1 could be unlocked without much of any hassle. You just needed to know what commands to run,
Once its unlocked. Its unlocked. Cant go back. And just because you flash back to 1.57 or 1.83 and it no longer says "Unlocked" at the top. It is. All you need to do is flash the pudding and it will put those little words back.

that build is a build for developer and developer devices, there is no garantee that it will be the same for user-end releases, anyway I really hope for all people that you're right.
the sbf used to unlock our phone now (att) has been packed by someone in the dev team may by eval or 2dc... or both

tang no matter what update motorola does in the future they wont be able to take away the unlock already created. with that said this post is useless, and a mod should close it, this will give the wrong idea to anyone coming to the forum looking for the unlock. who knows what motorola will bring in the future, fact remains, is unlocked and it aint going back.

I ordered an essential phone on eBay, which came in today. It functions. However it's stuck on 7.1.1. I contacted Essential and they told me what I have is a Sprint demo model. I run a few errands hardware tests and it seems it does have the sd835 (it says msm8998?) and correct ram and memory, supposedly. It said something like only 407dpi and a slightly lower resolution display. I contacted the seller and he told me that Essential says this to like 20 of his customers and that I can manually download and install the update. I'm hesitant to try that in case of hardware discrepancies. The bootloader says "Mata" for codename etc. Any thoughts on this???
I have the chance to return it. Is it worth it to return it and get another one? I want the correct specs as a normal ph1.

Mata is the codename for this phone. If you goto about phone and it is hardware revision 1.8 then you have the same hardware as the rest of us and should just download one of the "back to stock" fastboot packages on this forum and call it a day.

Thank you for the info I do have 1.8. What is the significants of that? Will I get OTA's now that I manually was able to update to 9.0?
I fastboot installed 9.0. rebooted and had no touch screen. So I installed through adb sideline the same version and it seems to be working now.

If Sprint is anything like Telus (my carrier) you will get ota updates but it could be days or weeks after essential releases them. I do all my updates manually.

What is the variant in the bootloader? It must be unlocked, so in that case, you should get OTA updates as they are released.
It does say unlocked but it would not receive OTAs, I spent a good couple hours trying and troubleshooting. I contacted Essential and that's when they told me it's probably a Sprint demo. I just unlocked the bootloader and updated everything manually then relocked the bootloader.
You could flash last months 9.0 release, use it like that for a bit and see what happens. Would be the fastest way to determine whether it will update now or not. Also you should leave the bootloader unlocked, from what I've seen on this forum relocking the bootloader has been the cause of 99% of bricking for this phone.
Thanks for the info. I may try the recent prior update thing, if not I guess I can always manually flash.
Anyone else end up with a "demo" model (according to Essential)? What's your experience with it?

You get no support and they will not take it for out of warranty repair.

They said I could still update manually, which is ok. With my luck I'd get no warranty support anyway lol.
Bumping this because I booted into my bootloader and it says "Variant - ". It's blank.

Was it always like this?
Personally as soon as Essential told you it's likely to be a Demo model I would have returned it to the seller immediately. That's just a recipe for disaster/headaches.

I can, but it's only $209 I don't think I'll find a better deal for that price. Everything still functions the same just no warranty support, and no ota's. I can update manually still.

Right on...I get impatient waiting on magenta, usually the last carrier to release the unlocked build(SM-N986U1)! As you probably know there's only a single build for our unlocked model (meaning no carrier customization) , so when I'm bored I snag XAA or XAS, SPR, via the UCCD code entry (using your dialer /keyboard steps) to update and get me current, to which afterwards (of course) finding myself once again bored
(Let me know...as I have the commands in a step by step format making the process a "dog n pony show!"
