So I've read that the GB OTA for the DX is live, and it's a newer version than the leaks. I'm assuming the the D2 OTA will be right around the corner, hopefully with some bug fixes. I personally can't wait.
Oh, and TBH confirms that the 2.3.340 SBF for the DX works with the OTA, so the 2.3.20 could possibly work with the D2!
*UPDATE*
So Verizon is saying they have not pushed out an OTA for the Droid X.
Team Black Hat is saying the update was from Motorola.
I don't know who is giving out the update, or how, but its a "silent" update.
I'm pumped as well man. Already back on stock in anticipation

Well, there was a GB leak for the D2, which means Verizon and Moto are actually working on it, so I would say we will, and probably very shortly.
i just knew there was a thread going a couple weeks back saying d2 wasnt gonna get it ...i hope we do
The report saying the XD wasn't getting gb was by P3Droid, who later said it was getting it, but thought it wasn't because he was shown all the moto phones getting gb and the XD wasn't one of them, so the XD is definitely getting gb

Yeah, I wouldn't see Verizon and Moto taking the time to make a stable GB update for the D2 (which leaked. It may have had a few bugs, but it was completely stable) and not releasing it. It would be a huge waste of money on their part.
I wouldn't say completely stable. I had a couple random reboots. But it's still less than I had in Liberty 1.5
well if the ota is better than the leak it will be great i have been running the leak and love it
God this stuff just keeps getting more confusing.
Verizon is saying they have not pushed out and ota for the dx.
TBH says it is from Motorola.
I don't know what to think of it...

I just find it comical that the Droid X was hyped up to come with 2.2 and then it launches with 2.1, which wasn't a big deal...
However now as a slap in the face.. The droid1 got froyo... The droid 2 has froyo.. Now the droid incredible also has froyo.. And the X is left alone by itself in 2.1 land.. Any comments?

I'm not really worried about it as I (and probably most of us) already have froyo...even if it isn't OTA
Yeah its more or less just showing where DroidX owners stand on verizons priority list, that's last

My comment is its BS!! i know its potentially just a week or 2 away (maybe) but there is no reason why it should be the last freaken droid to get the update. This is suppose to be the daddy of all phones. If anything it should have been the 1st. Sorry just impatient because i want it but dont want to mess with leaked version that has to be manually installed. Who knows if its even the final version.
I'm going to list the phones in order of release with their Froyo Status.
Droid - Froyo'd first
Droid Incredible - Froyo'd second
Droid X - FroyoLeak, no OTA
Droid 2 - Released Froyo'd
It's only logical that X is last. Of course, it's not Verizon's fault. It's technically Motorola's, as they are the ones providing support for the phones they themselves released... But with the leaked Froyo out, it's only a matter of time before the OTA update's out. Just give it time, ok?

It's most likely Moto's fault. Taking their time, etc. I'm just hopeful they'll release it soon. I'm laying off upgrading to the leak because I did the leak on my eris and got screwed.

It could actually be verizon holding it up. There is a very exhaustive testing process that all phones have to go through to be allowed on the vzw network. Most of the time the long lead is the first time through testing withdrawn updates taking much less testing and therefore much less time. However, if verizon found some issue that they don't want to allow on their network they could require motorola to go back, fix it, and get back in line to get the testing performed. Of course, some times verizon waves their hands let's the phone go through with minimal testing. We really can't know.

Good point. But still..that doesn't portend that the X is low on verizon's priorities..quite the opposite I think.
I think there are tons more droids than droidx phones in use. The lack of flash in the recent froyo release for the droid seemed to have caught more of motorola and verizons attention since they rolled out /are rolling out an update in short order.

Any Cooks/Dev's working on a build of the sdk for the droid/droid2/droidx....?
just curious.
If I have read correctly around the net, I think devs need to wait until Motorola releases their own version of Gingerbread for the D2 and DX since they use Blur. Could be different for the Droid 1 though since its stock.

Exactly the reason why I plan on switching to the samsung fascinate. This locked bootloader mess is making the droid2 root experience suck bad. While other phones get roms as soon as the freakin sdk is released for gingerbread, we are stuck waiting on moto bcuz we are locked down and unable to get ealry gb roms.

Real funny how you want to switch to a fascinate because of Motorola being slow on rom updates. The sgs fascinate is still in 2.1 eclair bro. If you want most upto date than stay away from Sammy. That's why I'm replacing my fascinate tomorrow.

I would agree with you normally but this is XDA.. the vast majority of people here are looking to customize their phones, and are not like the general public. I'd rather a fully unlocked bootloader with zero OEM support than lots of OEM support and a completely locked down system. That is one of the main reasons android is so much better than the iphone.. but here i am feeling stupid with locked phone. Although, the most locked down android is nowhere near as restrictive as a fruit device, but stil...

Do you know if you are running 2.2 or 2.2.1?
The difference is 2.2 could mean you are running the 2.3.15 OTA whereas 2.2.1 is the newer 2.3.34 OTA update.
I have 2.2.1 running liberty and i got that txt as well.
I have to believe it was a mass mailing to all DX users.
Received it on the wifes (running 2.3.15 OTA)
As well as mine (running TBH 2.3.340)
I got one yesterday, but I'm almost positive it said that my phone should be running 2.2, not that it could be.

Word on Droid X getting Gingerbread?
Anyone hear anything recently about gingerbread on the droid x...its been rumored for a while now any idea if and when we are supposed to get the update??
I just went around today looking for just that news, and found a few sites over just the past two days.
First, they say VZW has gotten moto's GB build, and that seems to be confirmed over the various sites. Soooo super exciting!
Not so exciting part? The very next day, many of these sites say it was denied, as VZW is wont to do it seems, and we are looking at another 4 weeks or so.
Let's hope for April! I have been waiting to root, but it seems every time I am about to do it, moto comes with the official next version, so I continue waiting!
Ive heard its as far away as 6 weeks but who knows

Sounds like P3Droid got his hands on the final build of GB for the X, D2, and D2G tonight. Also sounds like maybe this weekend/week rollout rumor was correct!
he got his hands on 3.4.2 blur....not gingerbread i am running on my phone right now and if thats all were getting prepare to be disappointed..dont get me wrong there are improvements but not enough to really wow you..everything just runs faster, a couple apps have been edited, and you can have a work, weekend, and home profile kinda like the droid pro..nothing major oh and longer battery life but nothing really excites u that much

lol i just bricked my DX thinking about it..time to get my battery charge at VZW..I hope the release is tomorrow, perfect way to end a busy Monday ..
Just curious..in the pictures I see a Froyo kernel, isn't gingerbread suppose to have a more updated kernel? like 2.6.35 or something??
u have to remember this isnt the actual gingerbread its a lkeaed version im sure motorola's final version will have an updated kernal and I really hope they decide to drop the bootlaoder!
lol oh ok... I hope so too..usually these leaks are a sign, never the less it already has a new kernel, but based on 2.2 if I'm correct..
No new bootloader. That would only come from VZW in an official update.zip file.
No root yet for consumer hardware either...we are hoping that getting this out may help find a solution.
i really really want p3droid to release this thing onto TBH!
im here trying to recover my DX via ghetto charging..lol,,dont know if its working..phone still off..anyone kno where i could get some instructions for this?
