Excellent question? I don't want to accept it if it will restrict me by removing Root.

Im almost positive it will be the same as the beta. You WILL lose root. Sideloading will remain, but not root.

There's a fine balance between OEMs being accountable for releasing updates appropriately and rushing out slop jobs. I hope that Motorola is steady and responsible with their updates (example: not releasing sloppy updates which break other functions).
As long as this is delivered, I don't care whether they're a gigabyte or a megabyte in size.

OP, where did you get this information?

this update however.
will probably close root loopholes so don't accept it if you wanna keep your root, idk why they'd put it in the early OTA and not the public ota.

I have been experiencing problems with my connection dropping. More have reported the same issue over here. Do we know if this update fixes the connection drops? I also understand I will loose root. If I want to sideload, should I root and enable sideloading before updating (if I decide to update that is)?
Thanks!

He works at ATT and received info of the update via interoffice email

Like many others are probably going to do, I'm also going to abstain from doing the update right away. Don't want to lose root access or find out that the bootloader has been clamped down even harder.
That'd be sweet if they did something which ironically made the bootloader easier to crack. Sort of like how Sony's PS3 encryption used a mind numbingly easy algorithm to crack or whatever it was. Here's to hoping!

Anyone been prompted for the update via sms yet? If so, did you do it? Also, can we expect someone to get root with this soon? Thanks!

Samsung site removed EB13 update

Only drivers can be downloaded from Software tab now. Perhaps a new link is forthcoming with patches, or perhaps 2.3?
Right, who am I kidding....
They pulled the update within 3 days of it's release, I believe.
Sprint site did, I believe. Samsung's was still up as of this morning, gone now.
Now I just hope they release a new update soon...Ever since the froyo update my 3g is slow and wifi and 4g are practically useless, It times out so much
they'll probably be releasing a new update soon.
Check my thread in development for the files

And the waiting game begins again. And as usual we will probably hear nothing specific from Samsung or Sprint about a newer update and a time frame...sigh.
Probably yanked due to that big root exploit that made its way on the market.
Yep, but I and probably others have all the files from the site. See threads or contact us if ya want them.
Sent from my Epic 4g Runnin Froyo...rooted for my pleasure!!
Yeah, I noticed late last night the files were gone. I'm thinking positive here and believe it signals the imminent release of an improved Froyo.

Not likely, since that exploit would also affect all versions of Eclair. Currently only Gingerbread has a native patche for the exploit.

I got the files straight from the samsung website. I was literally about to update to eb13 but after reading this i am wondering if i should wait or maybe update with the roms that are out there instead? any opinion? also i spoke with a sprint store manager who told me she did the update yesterday for multiple customers using the file downloaded from samsung and there where no issues.
Did my dads over the weekend and he told me yesterday his phone is working better than it ever has.

When I first updated to EB13, it was aweful. I can't get Samsungs drivers to load on my Sony laptop or desktop so no rooting...plus all of the known failures.
I took it in to a Sprint Center and they had soome fixes and did a clean install for me including, the fixes. Now, for the most part, all is good. Still lousy wifi signal and no root,wired tether or wireless tether... except through The Hotspot.
The tech said it was what Samsung had given them to fix the update.

OTA Released (Root for manual update) - Flash on Market MAR18 (Leaked)

Motorola XOOM users on the Verizon Wireless network: starting tonight, a maintenance release is rolling out to you in phases, so watch for a notification on your device that will tell you when it’s ready for download. The update includes required enhancements to support Adobe® Flash® Player 10.2 (coming soon); it also includes a fix for a bug we identified with Daylight Savings time, so be sure to install it!

At least this shows how quickly updates will come... I guess.
how will us with wifi only get this?
Any update is good news at this point I think. I wonder if there is any harm in updating, ie will it remove the ability to root and what not? I wish they would provide more details on what exactly the patch does. Also, it clearly says on the Verizon network, what about those not on it and are only on wifi?

MY droid always popped up updates even when I was only on wifi. I imagine we'll all get it or someone will post the update.zip anyway.
I'm curious if the Tegra 2 versions of flash (10.1) floating around will have something to interact with, and start functioning. They have with everything else. As soon as I get the OTA (no 3G), I have a folder full of them in my Dropbox.

Question of the day. No dialer :/
yesssssssssssss
Glad to see an update but there is nothing listed to get excited about except a possible problem with the upcoming daylight savings time switch. Who cares about the flash update since it does not actually include it. But this will be a good test run to see how the updates are sent out and applied.

You can force a check by rebooting. Not the best method, but it works.
Why do unlocked xooms need to get relocked?
I understand why you need to be on stock boot.img but i don't understand why you need to have the device relocked to get the update.
It makes no sense.

According to the system update tab this didn't happen in 3 reboots since the announcement. Still last check at 5:20. Really want to see if any of the 10.1 Tegra versions work after this. I've been frantic to have Flash lately (PlayOn/Netflix).

It might have a minimum time between checkins. Mine said 9:20am, then showed current time for last checkin when I rebooted.
So would it be fair to say that those of us who have rooted should wait until this update is released to see if in fact we really do need to revert back to stock/locked condition? Because I'd really be pissed if we had to lose all of the data on our Xooms just for this update, when very few of us have actually changed anything with the boot.img, etc. I mean back when I first rooted my N1 but before I flashed custom ROMs, I never had to wipe back to stock to receive OTA updates, so why would that be the case here??

Bell Atrix OTA update

Just saw this tweet a few minutes ago.
Looks like we're in line for an update next month. With the Telstra OTAs I don't really care too much (unless we see something unique in this OTA, which I doubt). But at least for the majority of people who aren't flashing SBFs there's a glimmer of hope.
Any idea what the update will include? Hopefully getting rid of the cap.
My Atrix is working rather well, sometimes these updates do more bad than good.
I knew mid-may was way too early but next month is alright I guess.
Not too late at all...2 months after everybody else is awesome!
Hopefully we'll might get our first "Official Stock SBF" to fall back on out of that...

The Bell update will likely be full of the same bloat and using it will fragment development of our custom pseudi-rom and themes.
There is no way this is Gingerbread since bell branded updates are ALWAYS behind others.

The French SBF is real good, definitely one of the best SBF's out at the moment IMO. I hope that when Gingerbread is released we get more of these bloat free SBF's (fingers crossed!)

Us bell people really just get a slap in the face everytime an update for an android phone comes out.... just saying
sent from my rooted, canadian Motorola Atrix (4G)
A software update is now available for the Bell version of the Motorola Atrix!
- To download the update manually:
Go to Menu > Settings > About Phone > Software Update
- I'm not sure what the size of the update file is, but I would suggest downloading it over WiFi as opposed to the Bell network so you don't exceed your data allowance and incur extra charges.
- Ensure that your phone is at least 50% charged before attempting the update. Idealy, charge it beyond 50% to be safe.
-- The updated version is v37.23 and brings Android Froyo up to version 2.2.2, and contains numerous updates:
Upload Data Speed
Increased upload speed at which data can travel on the network.
Data and Voice Connection
Improvements to prevent interruptions to data and voice connection.
Screen
Improvements to prevent screen from freezing.
Skype
Improvements to call audio function so it is easier for the person you called to hear you. Please note this application is not pre-loaded on phone, but is available for download from Android Market.
Wi-Fi
Increased functionality by enabling Yahoo Email to be sent over a Wi-Fi connection.
Display
Improved International Roaming Warning Message by simplifying user notification so that it only appears on the screen when you move to a new network.
Happening Widget
Improved Happenings Widget to ensure that you receive the latest updates across the social networks you are connected to such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter.
Calling
Improvements were made to incoming and outgoing call functionality to ensure a more seamless experience
Expanded Language Support for Webtop
Accented character support within Webtop application.
Improved Support for POP/SMTP Email
Support for SMTP outgoing servers that do not require authentication
Improved Exchange Performance
Improved Exchange Email/Calendar/Contacts performance
Hopefully someone will post the file or download location on here. for those that made the leap to another stock rom.
Coming in very slowly. I didnt catch how bit it was...
Upload speed fixed, SWEET. I hate being gimped.
y2whisper:
Yeah, I seem to recall that Motorola has a special section of their website for Canada where you can download Canadian updates.... though a quick look for it now and I can't find it. I'm sure someone will dig it up, if it exists.
To anyone who installs this update, will you please report back here and let us know if your network data speeds have improved, if you lost any data from your phone, etc?
Personally, I've got way too much on my phone to be brave enough to install the update without hearing some confirmations from others first that it's a problem free update
As far as I know, no data is supposed to be lost during the updates... but... well, you know....
I'm kind of scared, my atrix is working very well.
I'll wait a few days.
Nice to see any updates though.
its 43MB so not a full SBF. Managed to get the notification by editing my build.prop
Will report the data test in 5 %
I get 2295kbps upload speed sweet!

So far, after update...
1. Launcher Pro still intact.
2. I use Multicon to squeeze in a bunch of apps on my homepage and it has populated properly.
3. I see Super User listed in my Apps with my allow list intact. BUT when I try to do somethign liek use my AdjBrightness app to adjust the screen brightness it does not actually do anything. Re-rooting may be required. Scared .
4. disconnected from WIFI, Speedtest from Ottawa to NY, NY
1st test
Ping: 85, Down: 2607, Up: 2895!!!!!
Yea Baby!
2nd test
Ping: 88, Down: 2148, Up: 1541
3rd
Ping: 80, Down: 1563, Up: 1617
I'm Happy with that. All test were from inside a building.
Just finished update - no data loss. Upload speed is faster.
LauncherPro seems to be smoother....still playing with it.

Reports coming in that Xoom Wifi owners have received the updates today!

Hey Xoomers! It appears that wifi-only xoom owners are also having the updates pushed to their tabs also! I have not received it yet, but be patient, looks like all Xooms are being updated!
https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/380602#380602
could be an accident. looks like people over there are getting silenced about the update
From the sounds of it, this was meant to go out to their preview members only. I guess someone jumped the gun and didn't bother to let them know they weren't supposed to talk about it.
Which is only a guess, since the corporate rep on the forums has been very vague - only a single post with a "maybe" and then a bunch of posts insisting that people who have stated they got an update check their email.
I wonder if Motorola has really internalized the fact that there are, like, four or five other vendors for these tablets coming out in the next few months - many of them with very, very similar hardware. Not communicating with their tech-savvy audience seems like a poor way to convince people to recommend their tablet over others.
They need to share this ****!!!

not only in usa
also reported in my country
Seems moto launch a experiment
This is pretty disappointing. The update obviously exists and works on the wifi xoom but google won't release it yet probably just to make Verizon happy.
Are people really going to go out and buy 3g xooms just because the update on Verizon came first.

Hmm Being in Denmark and having purchased a US Xoom Wifi I wonder what to do. (Stock 3.0)
So I did the following ...
Added a VPN tunnel to USA. (had previosly brought VPN access)
Set the date 1 day back, to let the Xoom look for updates.
" no cigar! "
Set the date 1 day forward (today´s date)
Still no luck -
I wonder if the update is really rolling out
Can Anyone confirm Xoom Wifi is really getting 3.1 right now ?
Is there Anyway to "push" it - (besides the date change procedure)
Have a good one

Not according to my conversation with Motorola today. Can you buy a wi-fi only from Verizon? Just wondering if those are still branded differently and that's why they're getting updates.
For now 32GB is plenty for me so I'm not exactly screaming for the SD card update. But I will be a little disappointed if I have to wait weeks for my update when Verizon got theirs already. There were several items in the list below that I was really hoping to take advantage of. I'm not exactly crying over the update just yet though, because I'd rather do the official OTA update than download directly like others have been doing. However, I will pre-qualify all this with...the rep I spoke with didn't seem to be the most knowlegable and appeared to be reading from a script based on the responses I was given to some other questions I asked. So take this with a grain of salt.
Ann: Motorola XOOM with Wi-Fi tablets and other variants of Motorola XOOM will receive the update within the next several weeks.
frost: will this update include the sd card support?
Ann: It does not.
frost: will that fix be implemented any time in the near future?
Ann: It's enhancements are:
● Enables movie services including Android Market Movie Rental via full HDCP / DRM support
● Enables support for full Adobe Flash 10.2 release
● Picture Transfer Protocol Feature Support
● Bluetooth(R) support in Gtalk
● Bluetooth(R) mouse support along with further Bluetooth(R) headset support
● Adding Proxy support for Wi-Fi network
● Resizable widgets
● Additional shortcut key support for Bluetooth keyboard
Ann: Yes. A future software upgrade will enable the SD card.

November update and December update

I had to format the phone because of November update problems..now it ask again to download it and j can't see December update....should I download Nov update..will it cause any more problem..such as freezing of Google,Google Assistant,clock...i suffered from these once
Nobody can give you the right answer for that since there are few people who had issues and there are people who never had issues(I never had any issue, not on october, not on november and not on this update)
Google and gooogle assistant have general issue on all phones in recent updates of those apk-s(as you can see in users comments in google play), that's not the issue of mi a1 OS.
Noone knows if your unit will work properly or not.

And, by the way, shouldn't we be getting the Oreo update by now?

I had december update, but i messed up my phone by installing twrp. So i reflashed everything, and now december is gone. lol,. its funnny actually. Now OTA gives me november only (which i won't install), so from december i'm back to October.
Only God knows when they will give me another chance to install December patch...

Because some users mess badly with their phones and don't say this. There is one example from today, read from this post:

Bugs...hardware issues..different network...different signal, user doing something the system..errors caused by using...it's a software, could be anything. Majority have no problems, but there are cases that do.
example:latest win10 1709 update is working fine on one machine and on the other it's cracking, on the third it's freezing, some apps are not working properly, pointer issues, somewhere there is a high cpu usage, random restarts..all that with the same hardware.
Even though most of users don't have issues, some report that their units are not working.

Manufacturers will usually not release an update for all devices at once. They usually start out at a very low percantage of devices (~1-5%) and wait for reports regarding any issues or failed updates. They then will increase the number of devices over the coming 1 to 2 weeks.
What you delete the google framework data you're esentially telling the google server that you're device has been factory reset which will usually cause you to receive any updates available but this might cause issues with system stability.
See this post from 2013:

conclusion: you can wipe your framework data if you want (i.e. we can't stop you), but you shouldn't. It is recommended to wait until your device is scheduled for the update.

I had december update, but i messed up my phone by installing twrp. So i reflashed everything, and now december is gone. lol,. its funnny actually. Now OTA gives me november only (which i won't install), so from december i'm back to October.
Only God knows when they will give me another chance to install December patch...

In fact it's possible to skip one or more months and update directly to the latest version. There is incremental OTA between two versions (e.g. November -> December), between several versions (e.g. October -> December) and full OTA (e.g. July -> December).

I can't download the updates
I get "couldn't download update" error every single time I try
I'm sure my network is ok and I've even tried many different vpns but that doesn't work neither
I live in Iran, maybe it has something to do with google restrictions against Iranian users
Removed truecaller and everything is fine

Even I had these problems after the November update and from Memory management I found that Truecaller is using more memory. I've uninstalled it and everything started working fine and smooth
