New Download Available!!! Check your system update status

FYI Folks, I just did a system update check and there was one available...downloading it now.
Hope you all are as lucky!
If it is 1.86 then it has been out for a while.
Ok, now I'm panicking...it downloaded the firmware, asked me to install...I clicked yes and now I have a fuggin Triangle with an ! plus the android bot...WTF
No, it was 4.1.83.en.US
Do I need to unroot for it to install?
I am assuming your rooted? and deox? i would say you would have to revert to same procedure when 1.5.7 came out. Ie: restore bloatware/deox files
It downloads and reboots phone, it than starts extracting file and thats where it craps out.
K, looking at how to de-ox, new to android..only had this for 2 days.
Thanks for nothing liar. I have no update in NY. Also not to be a ****, but this should be in general unless your posting the sbf

Not lying...and if I knew how to do that I would...I was running stock rom, rooted and I had manually uninstalled some of the bloatware.
Anyone got a quick link to how I deox this?? no biggie ill look around.

I can say you aren't lying cause I am getting the message too. It says it is 1.83 but the weird thing is is that I am on the bell atrix but I used Seven's method to install GingerBlur so it says I am on att but I am actually on 1.4.2
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Update is available OTA in Portland, OR this morning. 3 people in my office have the Atrix and we all had the update available this morning.
They are probably going in batches guys just be patient it is rolling out in Dallas, TX i've been checking every day just got mine this morning takes about 15 minutes total and your on 2.2.2 and HSPA

If your new to android why would you not like the rest of us READ the fourms before 1. Posting in the wrong section 2. Ask a question that can be answered by doing a little research 3. Root without knowing how to revert back. We are all here to help as long as your not a donkey!!!!!
The chat support told me this:
The software version 4.1.83 is already being rolled out. It will be released by batches to all AT&T and Motorola Atrix.

Wait so I'm going to go ahead and assume this wont work for the bell atrix. It says at&t in the message. Is it an international update?

I was getting the same error, I think it was because I tweaked my build.prop . I restored my build.prop from a back up version and now the update is going through.
only things I modified were build.prop, sideloading, root. I'm able to update without restoring to a previous stock image.

the generic ones are already on 184 yours will be customized our small update was about 16mb i think
after messing on some games, Backstab & Asphalt
I'm sure there running a lot better with more FPS especially Backstab
BTW Waz, do you know if I'm safe to root my play?
its sim locked to orange but no orange logo on the back like there was on my desire
Thx
yeah though the safest way (same way im doing it) is with gingerbrick, leave the bootloader locked and just root it that way.
I already had that version when got my play

as long as your bootloader is locked and you rooted with gingerbrick your ok to update
What were the changes from xx.181 to xx.184? I updated mine but not noticed anything apart from a bit more slowdown?
Does this update block gingerbreak in any way? I'm not rooted yet, and I don't want to lose the ability to root (just haven't had the time to root it yet) after doing this update.

no it doesn't
What if you used Titanium Backup or some other freeze program to freeze apps like Timescape and other bloatware. Do they need to all be restored before the update?
@waz can you still boot after using gingerbrick
And who makes such an app anyways
I would go for gingerbreak lol

Still don't have 4.1.83?!?!

I never got the 4.1.83 update? Was it pulled? I'm stuck on 4.1.57 and whenever I check for an update I get the "your phone is up to date" message. Anyone else with this issue? I'm running 100% stock and bought it on launch day...

Gingerblur v.35 is built around the 1.83 as far as the framework and such. It does not however actually update your phone to 1.83. The main update for 1.83 was the radio and allowing HSUPA, which gingerblur does not affect in any way, shape or form. Gingerblur is more or less just a theme... ok, ok, it's a pseudo rom = theme w/ mods & hacks included (not a custom ROM).
i live outside usa and when i connected to wifi i got the update
Your imei has either been blacklisted (for doing something illegal) or they haven't added your imei to their database yet, calll em up and see what's going on

Sorry! I've been super busy and haven't been on XDA in a while. I'm kind of back, do you guys need any help with anything? I do in fact have an engineering/developer phone.
Finally someone got it ported haha. One thing that was weird. I had another developer device and I put CM7 on it and i got an email saying the next morning "Thank You for your Nexus S purchase!".. it was a moto backflip lol and I didn't buy any phone.

I guess you are hoping that this rom is perfect or that a root method will be found quickly? You won't be able to get off that rom until root/itsmagic is changed for the new bootloader...
Mine is downloading now too! About time!
I'm in the U.S. midwest and just received Acer update 7.006.03 which I'm downloading. Currently on 3.1 which works great. Don't know whether to update or not.

After you Spaniards it the download file itself should be saved on your tab. Then u could upload it to megaupload or another site like that.

Spaniards? wow... can anybody say IGNORANT?
Good to know, I plugged mine in the whole night and didn't receive anything in the morning. I'll have to check that when I get back, it's just too heavy to always carry it with my laptop. (And after turn on the laptop, it's not gonna be too useful). I'm at California.
OK I'm downloading the update, will upload as soon as it finishes.
Just a question: I'm not rooted, can I still access the cache partition with a file manager or do I have to use ADB (and how)?
