Does anyone know if the official froyo update will be OTA?

Most all of Android's OS updates are OTA. I am sure it will be for the Inc.

I would agree. The question is.... when? Everything I've read says "sometime in the fall".

Well, Google has a lot at stake in Froyo, so I hope that they're going to make sure it's fully baked before they release it. Plus they have the Flash factor - another reason to hold it until that's really done.
Given that, I don't expect 2.2 to appear in official OTA's for at least a couple of months and then HTC Sense builds are always behind the general release. Then you add the delay from the service providers (incl. Verizon) and Froyo OTA for Incredible in the Fall is almost optimistic =:-o
Rooted phones will always have it sooner...

Has the N1 not had the official Froyo OTA for weeks now?

They started deploying to the N1 and then stopped. Much speculation abounds about why, but no official explanation that I've seen. My g/f has a N1 and is about to drive me crazy wondering when she's gonna get Froyo. And when she does, I'm sure I'll be jealous for a few months

Thought you had some info. Please add a question mark to the thread title

Ditto that

yeah can we stop naming threads "official froyo update" when there is nothing official, froyo-like or update-ilicious about it. this is a question, first google search, and if ur still unsatisfied then put a question mark in your post title.

I was reading some phone webite and it said the offical release from Verizon was to be expected in August. Take that with a grain of salt as we all know how these "official" dates can move around at will.

a vzw rep told me that it was coming out july 15-16.

lmfoa aka droidhacker...and i forget the other alias
His great froyo "ROMS", methods, and "froyo flashing apps"

Yeah, check out his Twitter account. He tried to get a Froyo build from Koush. I think you all can imagine why.
http://twitter.com/rr12106

omg haha...his twitter really is ridiculous. He is begging koush for cyanogen froyo rom. And obviously im sure koush wont give him a thing to "test" it for him, but I can bet he would rip it off of him first chance he got, only to come here and the rest of the android community and try convincing people he is the best developer ever.
It really is so sad that he tries to play make believe with his mad developer skills, yet all i can do is crack up at his fabricated stories. He is just sooo absurd. We have all seen how he posts things and finally after being backed into a corner by people who really know what they are talking about, he crumbles and apologizes with things like "im sorry im trying...i just love to develop and hack droids...uh dur". The way this kid acts on these forums mirrors his awesome youtube videos to a "T".
Anyway def needs ip ban. His "roms" and other methods and claims are really going to end up bricking some good and honest people new to android, or at the very least give the community forums some bad rep.

I'm dead serois a vzw employee told me that froyo was comng out this month

And if they told you Verizon was going GSM tomorrow, would you be gullible enough to believe that, too?
Seriously, a run of the mill VZW employee has no insight whatsoever into the release. Only a core group, none of which are going to be dealing with customers, is going to be in the know regarding a target date. That guy in the store or on the other end of the phone... he isn't privy to any kind of information about this just yet.
Hell, at this point, HTC states that they haven't even finished their work on Froyo. After they're done with their work, they perform testing. After that, it goes to VZW for them to do further testing and then get signed off on. All of this isn't going to happen in the next two weeks.

Incredible got 2.2 OTA Today

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?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

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

And I agree with the OP.... I think the Droid X should have gotten the update by now also... being the flagship phone and all.

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.

the dx is getting froyo between early/mid september . which is around the corner now, only if they dont delay it again...

Ready for update. Will we be able to root the stock 2.2 like what they r doin with the EVO?

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.

Lol at both you. my post sure did provide a ton of proprietary, top secret information, bugs, unknown features etc about the upcoming release. Lighten up. Worrying about such little things will turn your hair grey early

We'd be so lucky to be the last to be pushed gingerbread after jha said we'd be among the first.

So does this mean the rest of us will get an update soon? I sure hope so..
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App

Yes it means the real thing is coming in about a fortnight (according to what I've read, pls feel free to correct) after the SOAK testing starts

for those of us already unlocked and running a version of 4.5.91, is it even worth the hassle of trying to sign up for the soak, and get our phones ready? (if even possible with the possible brick above our heads)
or just stay with what we got and continue riding the wave? lol

I'm not signing up for this soak. Figure after all the hard bricks and such its probably not a smart idea to try the ota over an unlocked bl/ken's gb.

Been waiting for the official release, thanks for the update.

In the survey you completed previous to this one you agreed to keep all communications confidential. If you selected "no" to that question you would never have received this new notification.

It says keep private but it also says to share this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BG8FYV5
if you want to sign up for future/current soak.

Sent from my MB860 using XDA App that's already on 2.3.7

what's SOAK Test???

I doubt moto would waste time doing a soak test for a higher version of gingerbread -- especially since they've got a whole host of other phones for which they need to provide support. Rejoice people, this is ICS!!

It's hard to believe but you have a good point... I'm so disappointed with Motorola that I don't doubt it could be a fail update to fix something that just make our life a little worse (like ripping off root/HDMI mirroring and stuff)

if it is it'll at least mean we can enjoy a blur free ics 100% working rom a lot quicker. but i just refuse to believe that the atrix is going to be the 2nd ics phone behind gnex.

Got it this morning around 2am central time. Signed up and hoping its ICS.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

I joined how I get approved will this mean I get ICS? Also what will happen to my root status?

I think this will be exciting to see how the new motoblur looks, they have said that they want to make less phones and more support for phones, and with google behind them and the pressure on from samsung, my eyes and ears are looking to moto to put up a fight. another point is that google is hard on about using the ICS halo theme and google owns moto, maybe the order came from the top, ICS with less blur out faster please.

I've no doubt that the community makes the difference I also saw someone else post saying that even if Motorola release a ICS he will still use CM9 instead... I just feel abandoned by Motorola in a lot of ways such improvements in the entertainment center, no FM radio (no subtitles) and other stuffs that they never ever reply.. They could at least provide the libs as they will not care....

The only reason I use moto blur roms is because I really like the lapdock, that's why am I really hoping that they bring out an ics ROM.

Motorola Announcement: No ICS for Atrix/Photon

Motorola updated their update page today: forums.motorola.com/pages/00add97d6c
Now says:
ATRIX 4G (MB860): Gingerbread (Android 2.3) rollout began in July 2011. Further plans coming soon.
It was supossed that Atrix 4G was receiving ICS for third quarter (which end this september 30).
I'm really disapointed with Motorola/Google. They says this after they promised an update on February.

"Further plans coming soon."
Still some hope. Let's keep optimism on the Atrix XDA board...
Also its status has been "refreshed"... Which means there's activity.

LOL. I just checked the page last night and it still had the "In development, rollout begins in Q3" message. Now it's as you say.
Ah well. In the long run, it's just a phone that does cool stuff. Many thanks to everyone who figured out how to decrypt the bootloader, open up the capabilities this phone has, and were willing to show the rest of us how to do it. In another year the majority of us will be on another phone anyway, it's the nature of the tech beast.

sad story..., they did change the Canada one to staying on 2.3 and the EU (had no update before) one to the same as the US one

That's a shame. I wanted the goodies ics brings with hardware acceleration and a better use of my lapdock. Hopefully they at least release drivers/kernels so the devs can make it work.

What a horrible title. The fact that a bunch of other phones say "Will remain on Gingerbread" should tell you that the update isn't cancelled yet for the USA Atrix because it says "Further plans coming soon". At this point they are obviously way behind the Q3 date they said before, but if it they weren't working on it I doubt they would tell us that plans were coming later.
Read this article. Soni says they are talking with the different teams and establishing dates they know they can hit. That article is about the Bionic which was planned for early Q3 and now they're going to get it in Q4. Like Soni said, they will be sticking to the dates they set and obviously the Atrix isn't as far along as we all hoped and they can't accurately project a date. Wait until it says all Atrix phones are staying on Gingerbread before posting something like this.
http://www.droid-life.com/2012/09/2...raw-deal-new-motorola-will-try-to-fix-things/

I don't get why the Canadian update was cancelled. This means that I'll never get to see stock Motoblur ICS. And ICSBlur actually seems to be good, unlike GingerBlur (not to be confused with the custom ROM).

Well.. time for some questioning.. especially after receiving this only a few days ago:
"Dear Ryan,
Thanks for reaching out to Motorola.
I do apologize but we currently do not have any notifications regarding the exact release date of the official Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade for the Motorola ATRIX 4G. It is scheduled to roll out as an over the air upgrade this third quarter of 2012. You will receive a notification on your device once the upgrade is already available for download. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience."
This next response oughta be interesting.

No custom!
