Just wondering. I'm waiting to see when the rollout will start to happen. I keep checking manually for the update but no luck yet. I wonder what time they will start rolling it out...
I'm waiting a few people to say they got the green light, so that I can unroot, and maderstcok340 back to factory settings
I checked my girlfriend's X this morning, no update yet...

Wow guess was after all just a rumor lol :-\
The new date is the first, kids.
You should be able to pull at midnight of the 1st.
How about we stop waiting in anticipation for something that isn't coming and work with what we have?
Where did you hear the new date is the first?
Personally, I think Verizon is being rather mean posting the changelog and withholding the actual download...:-D

That's for the manual download. The OTA should still be today. And I believe they usually start at like noon EDT.

I'm on .595, rooted. Do I want to unroot and get this update, or should I stick with what I have? If I unroot, do I need to SBF to get back to Froyo to get tonight's update?
from what i've read u need to be on 2.2

Geez, remember guys, they roll updates out in WAVES. All Droid Xs won't have it available for probably a week or two.

You should wait for the OTA to get rooted and get some ROMs going. At least that's what I'm doing.
But yeah, in order to receive the OTA, you'll need to SBF back to Froyo.

That should help you out, if you haven't seen it already. I may or may not hold off on the OTA because it may help with the Droid X rooting efforts. Chances are I'll get it though :-/
This is my first android phone so I'm just wondering...what's the procedure for an OTA update? Will the Droid X automatically prompt us when it becomes available or is there a manual action required?

automatic, so yes something will prompt you and if you don't click for it yourself in 3 minutes is the time frame i believe, it will automatically just do it. it will restart your phone after it downloads and then install and start up again.

FYI; Google around released Froyo update to Motorola, which released to Verizon, which they are testing for release bugs so it doesn't ruin to many customer phones at OTA launch like the other Froyo updates have done in the past. So its Verizon holding Froyo goodness from us...

My GT doesn't show this as an option
So, as I read this forum and a few others, it appears that a Gingerbread Mod is the way to go for now? I am running Darkslide V4.2 on my rooted DX, but I want the Netflix app, and it won't work. What mod do I need? I am a beginner with the whole modding of the phone. I got extremely lucky when I unlocked and rooted both my DX and Xoom. I got it on the first try and didn't brick my devices. LOL. So, any help would be appreciated, Thanks!

This is what i've gotten so far from my research over the past several months in anticipation for Netflix on my DX. You can't get netflix to work on any android device as of now. There was a leaked version that came out a while back that only worked for less than a month. It was supposedly a leak from a concept phone at CES, if i remember correctly. Netflix's servers just deny access to any Android phone (The leaked Netflix.apk is fully functional, minus actually streaming movies. That is, you can still add things to your queue and browse the library). This is because they are still working for a universal DRM system for Android (if they want it to goto ALL android devices), otherwise it will only be available for certain android devices that work out deals with Netflix individually.
EDIT: Lol, I lied. Just found this. you need gingerbread 595

Possible for my setup to OTA update or would I have to wait for a stock htc build on xda? I thought unrevoked forever made sure you were rooted/able to root for good.

Wait until someone has it posted then flash it... or see what happens when everyone else does it. You may remain s-off, but lose root - I know, weird. In that case I'd think it would be easiest to flash a recovery and then flash the rooted version anyway, so just wait.

Verizon has started updating the tabs to 2.3.5 today. Probably will take a few days for everyone to get it though. Just thought I would share.
Edit: thanks to jason62082 we now have a link to download the update.zip! Enjoy everyone and be sure to thank Jason for pulling it from his tab and uploading it!

And btw, I have never pulled a zip and dont know how to, or I would once I get it. Sorry. Just wait for the ota or someone else to post it.

I can confirm this update. My Tab notified me about 10 minutes ago. Haven't updated yet because I don't feel like having to root it again. If someone could tell me how though, I will try to pull the .zip
EDIT: Never mind. It was a smaller update for 2.2....
Any proof
Any proof, like picture?
Anyone who had previously been using the "leaked" VZW GB rom try to update to this official one? Any differences noted or anticipated? Is there any point instead of sticking to the "leaked" ROM?
Other than unrooting, will this update screw anything up?
If I'm rooted can I still get this ota update?
I bypassed the verizon activation a few days ago with the volume up and down method and I am currently using my tab on wifi only. Will I get the update? If I do get it, will I have to bypass it again? Will the same method work?

I am not sure if you'll get it if not on Verizon's network. I am getting impatient though. The announcement I read said it was starting on the 1st but I still haven't seen it, nor has anyone else I know. Any of you guys got it yet??? Mine had the GB leak on it and I flashed back to stock Froyo just for this. I'm just hoping something I did didn't block me from getting it.
I can't get it yet either.

I'm over in the quail hollow area off Carmel. Funny. Small world. Anyway, I'm thinking of calling tech support and asking them about it.
Ask them if the update will screw up our rooted Tabs.
I'm sure it would as far as losing root, but they gave me the basic song and dance. Said it was staggered and may take a while for everyone to get it. Then he told me to go into the store and have it updated which isn't true. I work in the store and we have no way to update smartphones and tablets, only basic phones. It just seems strange that no one on this forum has received it. When I go back to work tomorrow I will check to see if it was pulled back or delayed for any reason.
Question, when it updates, does it just put an update.zip on the sd card? If so, then I will try to copy and post on here.
Edit: I have a sneaky suspicion that it was delayed for some reason. Check it out. It still says coming soon on the public page.

Yes, when the OTA update pop up shows up, that means you have an update.zip on the internal storage of your Tab. Use Root explorer or ES and navigate to /cache and you'll find the update.zip once you get the OTA notice. Then you can just upload that update.zip to any hosting site, and drop a link here for all to enjoy.
