Anybody without a corp account try flashing this yet?

i flashed it today and I do NOT have the CorpEmail account. I really hope this doesn't stop me from getting root.

i have, no differences at all. battery life will tell in a day or two

So are we safe letting update go thru? Or should we hold off if we want root?

I wouldn't flash it yet. It contains a recovery image and I don't know if anyone knows for certain what's different about the image.

Would this have the correct test keys?

I flashed. Not noticing anything unexpected. Im getting my incredible replaced anyway. Sounds like I'm listening to people talk underwater.

I doubt you'd notice anything different; I'm just afraid that they've closed a useful hole.
Now if this thing would just stop asking me every 20-30 minutes ... grrrr.

The update fixes the email client for business users.
The meat of the update they don't tell you about, however, is there is a new recovery image in the updater. So yeah, maybe a hole was closed.

I held down volume down button and hit power, booted into the prompt, selected "recovery mode," and all I got was a red triangle and exclamation point.
I downloaded the zip, renamed it update.zip, and put it on /sdcard using Astro.
Am I doing something wrong?

I have the exact same problem.

dont do it

Just checking to see if people successfully installed this OTA update from the mirror site link provided earlier in this thread. I think it's my only chance to go to FroYo without using RUU/wiping the phone.
I figure I can update from 1.22.605.0 with this update and then go to the FroYo thread and run that update. Does that sound like it will work?

This whole subject was coverd in another thread.

read the other thread, you need to update to 1.22.605.2 first, easy and does not lose date.

Root and OTA
I have rooted with unrevoked 3.1 but still have stock 2.1. Do I need to unroot to install the OTA or will the OTA still be pushed to my phone while I am still rooted?

[Q] Can't Update to Android 2.2 Froyo

I was excited that I received a message to update my firmware to 2.2 Froyo, but when I tried doing so I kept getting errors at the installation screen. It would download then go to the installation screen and give me an error.
I'm not sure if I bricked the phone without knowing or something, but I get the following error message when trying to upgrade:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
I have no idea what that is/where it is. I checked my SD Card, but I didn't see anything like that there. I'm guessing I'm missing that folder/file, but I don't know where it would have went or if I can get it back.
I've tried to do the update both through my Bravo and downloading a ZIP file and trying to do it through the Recovery screen. I tried everything Motorola suggests on their website as well as searched Google a lot, but came up with nothing.
I should add that even when I click "applysdcard:update.zip" it gives me a few errors and aborts the installation.
I'm just wondering if there's any way to fix this so I can upgrade my firmware?
Thanks to anyone that can help.

Yes, I used Root Explorer. I'm guessing by MCFarmfresh's post that there issome sort of original build for the phone? I've looked everywhere for hours all night last night before resorting to asking somewhere, but I couldn't find anything and the "solutions" I've seen all did not work. I kept getting the same errors.
Thank you for replying. If you can help, it'll be very much appreciated.

I have a rooted Bravo and I deleted some of the bloatware, and I received the Froyo update and everytime I download and the system resets I get an error and the update stops. Selecting from memory card doesnt work for me, and I dont have a backup of the original settings to re-install (which I'm not sure how to do that either). If anyone has any suggestions I'm open.

its checking for att apps
if you renamed them name them back to apk

I didn't rename them, I deleted them off my phone.

I don't know much about these things but I would think that would be a bad thing to do...
I was able to get the update to install to my phone but now it is running slow
Any more info on how to fix this issue?

OK, so I tried everything that's suggested pretty much everywhere and I'm still unable to update. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or what, but I've tried resetting the phone via the phone/recovery screen, tried updating via the phone, and I also tried replacing the original build, but nothing worked so far.
I have no idea what else I can do, but any help would be appreciated.

If nothing else works, you can always sbf. It sounds scarier than it really is, actually it is pretty easy. Just make sure you follow the directions. I've done several sbf's and they have all turned out perfectly.

Thanks. I'm not sure what it was, but I switched to my Windows XP desktop (from my Windows 7 Home 64-bit laptop) and the SBF Flash worked perfectly, thanks bandroid, yourself, and others. I really appreciate all of the help given. 2.2 looks and feels a lot better than 2.1 so I'm really happy about that.

If you will give me your email I can get it to you. For the life of me I cannot figure out hhow to attach files through pm using my phone lol. You can also use the .sbf method to upgrade but I'll definitely get the files to you if you send me your email.

SBF'in it...
Okay....so one of your gentleman above (I'm new to the forum ish) stated that he had deleted some apps off of his OS. I did the same thing with AT&T Hotspot Locator (unfortunately, AT&T was quick on merging this standalone app into MyAT&T so I couldn't get the atthotspotlocator.apk back). I fixed this using the SBF file.
I won't give you the step by step but I can tell you RSD Lite is a free program from Motorola. It's basically the program they use to flash boot SW onto an otherwise dead device.
Don't be intimidated by it because it really is rather easy to facilitate. Just do like I did and YouTube how to load an SBF into a motorola device. You can pause and replay as you go along to assure no errors. Takes like 15 minutes once you've got all the necessary files downloaded.

Well, that lasted long...
Everything was going fairly well until this morning when I clicked on the phone button (default launcher) and tried to go into the dialer, then it just closed every time I tried doing so.
To try to fix this I rebooted my phone, nothing; restored, nothing; factory reset, nothing; re-installed 2.2.1 FroYo via flashing the SBF with RSD Lite and 'apply:sdcard:update.zip' through Android's Recovery Screen, nothing.
When I tried doing the last 2, however, I received these errors (the first one I had with the first problem and the other 2 are new):
E:Can't mount CACHE: recovery/command
E:Can't mount CACHE: recovery/caller
E:Can't mount CACHE: recovery/log
Now, with the "caller" error, I did NOT touch anything having to do with the dialer and whatnot. That I know.
The last time I had problems with my laptop so I tried it on my desktop and it worked, but now I tried the desktop and it still isn't working properly. Some of the features that I had with the update are now gone such as the "third party apps" option and the sliding "lock screen" is now permanently present.
Any help with this is appreciated.

[How to] ¤¤»Update to 1.8.3 and ROOT«¤¤ (Working for Some)

I don't know why people are having soooo much trouble with this so im just going to post this..
this is what I did to get the 1.8.3 update.
1) Go download the Motorola Software Updater from here.
2) Download the updater and then install it. Make sure that you have your Motorola Driver updated.
3) Run the updater, plug in your phone (Debugging has to be on). Wait till the updater recognizes your Atrix.
4) The updater will scan your device and see what firmware you have installed. Once it identifies that you have your Atrix connected and you are updated to 1.5.7 it will start to scan for updates (This can take a while, so let it do its thing).
5) Once it finds an update, it will wait till you click next.
6) After that it will download and install the update to your phone, once it is completed your phone will reboot. (Again, the updating/installing can take a while)
THATS IT!
Rooting time w/ GingerBreak.
Go here to view the full guide on how to do it. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS!!!!
If I can do it, anyone can.

Ask if you need help!
Please don't troll or post unhelpful comments!
Apperently doesn't work for everyone, I guess its being rolled out slowly. So if it doesn't work when you try it, try it another time.
Proof that I have it working, below.

Hi there
About how long does it take to recognize the phone??
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

It would be nice if you could update like this but they have pulled it off there site since its not goin OTA yet. So now were having to revert back to flashing 1.8.3 over 1.5.7 va RSD. then do the whole root and side load after that

When I did it. Sideload was still there. I just used GingerBreak to re-root. It was really fast and easy to do.

A while. I guess it depends. I'm not sure if Motorola pulled the update from their servers like AT&T did.

Well I guess I need to clarify, how long does it take for the software update tool recognize the phone?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

To my understanding it took alot of peoples phones a while. From what i heard you can Flash 1.5.7 then flash 1.8.3 on top of that and root and enable side loading before the phone tools would start the update

There should be a %. But it doesn't say how long and I didn't keep track. I just started it and left. Came back and it said it found an update then i just installed it.

Proof. Just want to show you that I actually have it working.
-Sideload (the only way I could get Screen Grabber on my phone)
-Rooted (required for Screen Grabber to work)
-1.8.3 (shown in picture)

I Flash a 1.8.3 SBF file.
But can't display a MP4 file which can play on Ver 1.5.7.
Can you play it with Gallery (with 1.8.3 default video player.)??

People have told you several times now that this method no longer works, I tried it exactly as you said several times over the past few days and just for good measure I tried again right before I posted this.
I understand that it worked for you a couple days ago but things changed and I assure you it does NOT work anymore.

Looks like the OTA availability is widening. I've been manually checking for updates daily for the last week or so. This morning it found the update and installed without issue. Northern VA area.

i just used the 1.8.3 sbf with RSD lite 5.31

No update on moto for me and no OTA

finally got it working, thanks!

I got the update notice as soon as I registered the product (which I hadn't done until today after owning since April 20th). Make sure that you've registered your phone on motorola.com

I just got the update right now over WIFI > System Update. Looks like its downloading now!!!

dont forget to backup your internal sd card since gingerbreak will format it.

Mine just popped

Ya, that was my experience too. I did everything to the letter, and no update. What I think happened is moto/att is pushing out the update in batches, and you (chubby) happened to be one of the lucky first in the roll out, and that's why it worked for you.
I could be wrong, but that would definitely explain why everyone but you was having so much trubbs.
BTW, I just checked again a few minutes ago and it finally found the update.

[Q] Update Failed?!!

Hi guys, i'm new here and a bit of a noob to the whole Android world.
I got my a500 about a month ago and loving it, Rooted it and got rid of all the bloat ware and is running like a dream.... love it....
A couple of days ago, i got an update: System Update 1.139,05, downloaded it and went to install, rebooted but nothing, Update failed!
I already have Android version 3.0.1 and Kernel version 2.6.36.3.
Is it me doing some thing wrong? Is it because its rooted? Do i need the update, please help, just want it to be up to date. Love the forum, thanks

I've seen that some other users have had issues with the update if they removed the bloatware. Have you put it back before you attempted the update? If not, you'll have to put everything you've removed back and if you've edited any of the system files like build.prop, etc..you'll have to put it back to original also.

Thanks for the reply JackMetal! ERRRRRMMMM Q: is this a big update and if so then how would i put everything back, would it be factury settings? and if i do need to put everything back on why did i root it? lol sorry for being suck a noob! )

LOL - yeah, I know..it's kind of a sucky move on Acer's part to force that. ;-) How did you remove them? Did you just delete them or freeze them within Titanium Backup? If deleted, did you happen to make a backup of them first so you could restore them now.
You can look at /cache/recovery/last_log and see exactly what it's complaining about. If you don't have the files you deleted, you can ask in the forum to see if another user can send them to you. I'd be glad to send mine, but I would imagine mine probably wouldn't help you since they are from 'after' the update and the checksum would still fail since they're changed. We could give it a shot though, and if it doesn't work you can see if someone that hasn't updated or happens to have the previous versions backed up, could send you the files.
---edit
Actually, I've got a few Titanium Backups from before the update, so I may just have the files you need!

Sweet dude, right will have to give it a look as i deleted them, noob thing to do i know lol still learning, thanks again for the super quick reply!

Same thing happened to me and this was after I restored my A500 to factory stock. I re-started the update download from the settings/info menu and this time it went without a hitch. I now have the updated A500, rooted it and am ready to go.
Advice for those people rooting their tablets. Don't just delete any .apks you don't want; move them to a folder on the internal sd card instead so whenever you need to restore them it's a simple matter of just moving them back).

Right, just an update.......
don't laugh, but i did try to put back all of the bloat ware!!!!! However, i replace some things and got rid of others, NOT GOOD! " HOME NOT WORKING ", yes thats what it said or words to that effect! Restarted as i thought that would help! OMG BOOT LOOP! Phone acer and sent it back for repair, UPS picked it up and acer received it this morning, and 30 mins again i got a text message with it done you douche bag, well they didn't say douche bag, but hay they should have done! Yes i'm a noob at all this, but i have learnt my lesson. Must say thanks for the help anyway from the forum!
P.S UPS SUCK BALLS, they are rude and v unprofessional! (had problems with them picking up the tablet).
P.P.S Back up everything and the back it up again! And DONT get rid of any system file or anything, to quote someone from the forum, " you have plenty of room! ", I have the 32Gb so yes i have the room lol!
O and just one more thing............ BACK THING UP NOOBS !!!!!!! )

Or Rename!

Also to make easy, just rename the .apk's to .bak or freeze them in Titanium backup!

Not to sound like a smartass but you know you could have done it yourself? Flash the device i mean.
What you do is you look for the boot.img and system.img and update.zip files in this forum or somewhere.
First the chinese one that you can just place in your External SD card and press Power+Vol- when device is turned of.
Then proceed to look for the American version, or whatever you wish if it's available.
Then you do this: place the boot.img and system.img in the root internal memory called Sdcard and place the update.zip in your EXTERNAL MicroSDcard.
Install Terminal emulator and push the boot and system img's 1st boot, 2ndSystem. Have superuser installed to.
After that when the images are pushed (usually the tablet would freeze after the system.img)
Then you force stop and power up the unit by holding Power button + Vol-
and that's it! No need to send to repair and pay money perhaps.

Rooted gingerbread keeps trying to download verizon update

Hey all,
I looked through the posts and wasn't able to find the answer so I am leaving this. Basically I upgraded my X from a rooted froyo to GB using the 2 files provided by P3Droid to go from the SBF froyo to GB rooted. It works great and I am having no freezing issues however the phone keeps trying to update and download the GB over the air update. I don't know how to stop this from happening or if I did something wrong. I have deleted a few of the Verizon apps that should stop any update from taking place anyway. I thank you in advance for your help.

I downloaded the "rooted gingerbread .596" from p3droid and my Droid X has never asked to update.

the only other thing I can think of is that I accidentally hit check for update on my phone but I don't think that it should have even found the gingerbread once I had installed it myself...

I just went into my settings and into "about phone". I also checked for a update and it says that it is up to date no update is necessary. So I have no idea what is going on. Only thing I can suggest is if it continues, is to SBF back to Froyo and reinstall p3Droid's rooted .596 again. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

You could let the update happen, it would go partially, fail and reboot and you're all set

Same problem with Sprint EVO 4g
I have also just installed "4.22.651.2 Rooted & De-Odexed" after accidentally dl the OTA update last week. I just hoped that installing the new ROM would eliminate the notifications to install the update but unfortunately it did not.
I did try to let it install so as to let it fail and rebooted, and the notification is still there.
Is there maybe a way to manually remove the update file?

this is the Droid X sub-forum. You will get the proper help if you post in the Evo section.

Sorry I just didn't find anything even closely related to this issue here and thought it would be best to not start a new thread. Isn't this a software issue and therefore somewhat universal?

I'm having the same problem. It comes and goes with no ability to clear. It always pops up after a reboot. It never actually downloads, at least that I've seen....
Does anyone know which package to freeze so the updater stops flagging?

Stop OTA Updates
Freeze the application called "Updater 2.3.3".
