Anyone get the .605 update yet? - Droid X General

Anyone pull the update yet?

The update is available via flashable zip over at Rootzwiki. I've heard reports, though, that this update slows the phone down and makes things buggier.

I've read people questioning a 113 mb update for keyboard issue. You may want to research more before taking it.

wtf...go hijack someone elses post please. And speak in full sentences when you do so that people know what you're even talking about.

I just renamed su in /system/xbin to su.old using root explorer, then checked for updates, updated, then re-rooted using the one step method (droid 3 easy root script v7) and now have the update with root.

Just reinstalling su from zip after update works too. I went from rooted 602 (just unfroze apps and put back boot animation) to 605 OTA and after update put back su from zip (see 596 to 602 without sbf posts) and it all works fine.
For me 605 seems faster than 596 for sure, 602 seems about the same...no complaints so far.

I sbf'ed back to 2.2.1 and when I check for updates, it says I am up to date. I assume they hold back on the large .602 update while the small .605 is being pushed?

I've heard there isn't much to this update. Just a keyboard fix?

My wife accepted the update this morning and it broke her wifi connection (in our home at least), the phone will connect then immediately disconnect - endless loop connecting and disconnecting. She is unrooted. I tried re-setting up the wifi on her phone but no joy. Battery pulls, reboots, nothing seems to work. Verizon said try a factory reset and if that doesn't work she can get a replacement...not what she wanted to hear.
Any ideas on something I can try to fix this issue? She will not let me root her phone!

Something very similar happens to me on .602, my wifi will connect but no data will transfer.
I'm planning on trying to take the update soon.

I'm on .605 and WiFi works fine for me.
.605 appears to drain the battery faster than .602, and I'm still trying to determine what changed.

As far as I know it was only the keyboard issue, as it was only an 8mb update.
There is also a new kernel.

I got the update to. 605 and the only problem I have is that my phone has been having random crashes and restarts. Battery draining slightly faster. Other than that I'm not sure I've noticed anything.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

I've been using 605 for a few days now, and I would not recommend it. It's much slower than the previous version. This is especially noticeable on the "unlock" screen. Sliding the lock open causes the screen to freeze for up to 5 seconds before the home screen appears. I've also had a much harder time typing on this release because the keyboard is just too slow and keys get missed. Overall, I'd rate this a pretty worthless update. I'm hoping for another fixed release from Motorola, but with the age of this device I doubt they're putting much effort into anymore.

Not seeing those performance issues. However I am running overclocked at 1.2GHz with the interactive governer installed by Android Overclock. Overall I'm pretty happy with the update, although I've not seen any real improvements from .596

a way to root 2.2 with latest ota update?

has anything been released on rooting a NEW dinc? I just got it and the ota went right on to it.
thanx
Rob
The word on "the street" is that Unrevoked is working on it, and is supposed to be out anytime now, and that they have already figured it out for the EVO.
I have been checking every incredible forum and unrevoked website, but havent seen any fix for this yet.
Same here .would they update their website? Or would it be posted in forums. ?
unrevoked.com/
Worked for me and I bought my Inc. about a week or two ago. I've got an SLCD screen. Been running CM 6.1 rc2 ever since I let Unrevoked work it's magic.
I also got an Incredible this week, though I was forced to apply the OTA update as part of the activation and setup sequence. Because of the OTA update, the method that Unrevoke formerly used (rageagainstthecage exploit, if I'm not mistaken?) no longer functions. It seems we're all waiting for the next version as another way in.
i get my dinc tomorrow,im hoping i can root it before i activate it, so the ota dont dont patch it.
I get mine tomorrow too. What I will do is as soon as I get it is turn it on connect it to the computer and unrevoke it. Even before the update popup. And done free forever

I had to get past this screen yesterday with a phone I was changing over to Cricket. PITA but it only made me lose 2 min of my life.
I let it try to dial the activation number and fail. Eventually it let me skip all the screens. I kept on pushing the home button, skip, etc.

Z4 Root not working on latest software

I wanna root my Droid x but this software doesn't seem to work anymore, can anyone help me ...
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
More info, whats it doing, what software.
I tried using Z4root with 2.2.1 it doesn't work. Any suggestions?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Funny, I bought two brand new droid x's last week, both on the newest software and it worked just fine... on both of them.
I also am on 2.2.1 and I have rooted using z4root 1.3.0... Did you do a temporary root or permanent?
I was actually about to start a new thread about this same thing. My friend just got a new droid x this week. I downloaded z4root for him, debugging was on, and did permanent root. It sat there for a long time, got hot, but did nothing. I got my droid x when it first came out, did the latest ota updated and rooted this same way no problem. Any ideas?

I had that happen the first time I tried the app...but then the phone rebooted and I tried again, and it worked without any issues. Maybe try uninstalling and then pulling a different version off the web. Here is the one I use (see attachment)
I did a permanent Root. Tried it several times. Now I used it before but when I had to go to Verizon I didn't want them to see so I took it off & was never able to do it again.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Had the same problem if it gets stuck at rebooting for more than 3 min. Pull the battery out and boot the phone back up. If you don't have superuser app then try it again. Works every time I have done it. 340 software just got my x last week.

Depends on what you are looking to do. My first recommendation is download and install koush's bootstrap recovery. Then use that to make a backup of your stock state before doing anything

Worked for me. Installed via gmail. Powered down and pulled battery and rebooted right before I installed it. Took less than 2 minutes. My phone was bought in Jan 2011.

Try going into Settings--> Display--> Screen timeout. Change the setting to something long... like 30 minutes or never if you have the option.
Then reboot the phone. Try uninstalling z4root. Install the version that I have attached and trying rooting again. Make sure that the screen doesn't go out. I don't think this should have any effect, but I remember the first time i used z4root I let the screen go black, and it didn't work for me. Not sure if the process stays alive it the screen goes black for power saving.
Also go into Settings--> Application--> Make sure the "unknown sources" box is checked. Then press on "Development" and make sure that "USB Debugging" has its box checked as well.
Now try and run z4root. Make sure the screen stays awake and watch it run. Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes ideally.
When you download z4root and instal you need to restart your phone then root or else you will just sit there and nothing happens but says its rooting
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Run z4root with the phone in airplane mode. Works in half the time for some reason. Also worked on a friends phone where z4root wouldn't work otherwise.
same issue
I just rooted for the first time last weekend currently running liberty 1.5 (save the applause) anyways it took me a bunch of tries and battery pulls for z4 to finally work keep at it it will work eventually

just being curious

i dont think that the EB13 update that was posted by samsung on the website is the real thing....to be honest i think that is just another test release from the looks of it because they are pushing an update out via OTA that you have to wait for......i mean i messing with the one that samsung posted up and all of the things that it was suppose to fix is not fixed.......im going to wait for the OTA
I think it's already been confirmed in the OTA status thread that it's the same thing from Samsung's website...
EDIT: I guess it has not been confirmed yet. Anybody with an OTA update care to confirm or deny?
Suite yourself, killer, but you're the only person I've seen who's expressed that opinion ever since Samsung got the correct EB13 files up. Yes, at first they had some EB01 files listed, as well as had some misnamed as KB13, but for ~15 hours now they've had EB13 posted, and many people on XDA, including experienced developers, have downloaded, flashed, and started digging into EB13. I feel pretty sure it's the real deal.
I think that the majority of people's issues are coming from bad upgrades/flashes, and they need to A) clear cache (including Dalvik if they're using CWM) and B) if the issues persist they should do a clean wipe/flash.

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
i know the Syndicate development team is waiting for the OTA version before they dig in and do their thing. it might just be a precaution, i really don't know myself. i'm waiting on the OTA so i can send it to them, but if anyone has it, they could do that first. of course once you install it i think it might be too late.
It has been confirmed in multiple threads, there is just 200 pages to sort through since it's release. The files are the EXACT same.

Yea there appears to be an issue with eb14 reading media files. Apparently formatting you memory card then reloading your files resolves that.

No, clearing cache is stuff you do when you want to eliminate the possibility of a preexisting mess screwing up your experience. The only time an OS upgrade will work 100% perfectly and smoothly is by doing a wipe and clean install. If you just flash overtop of what you already have, expect complications.
This is true of all OSes. A clean Ubuntu install will always be more worryproof than upgrading from, say, 9.10 to 10.10. A clean Windows 7 SP1 install will always be smoother than installing SP1 on top of an existing Windows 7 gold install.
At any rates, wipes and clean installs shouldn't be scary or 'unnecessary' to regulars on this forum. It was a whole terrifying 10 minutes of work to resync my phone and get my apps downloading.

No worries here. Root, then use Titanium Backup to save your apps and data. Flash, crash or trash your phone, but just reroot and use Titanium to restore it. And you get your Birds data back.

motorola social widgets

ok so i updated to GB and love the new blur. however i still went around theming it but after a few things i noticed my social widgets werent updating and wasnt letting me update them even tho i had my info in it correct. So i tried flashing the original .apks i had themed then it bootlooped so i sbf'd to the old froyo, so im stock right data/factory reset too. entered my twitter stuff and the old blur social widget still isnt working correctly, am i the only one having these problems?
edit: reflashed rootedgb.zip working fine now lets see what happens when i re-flash gbrooteddeodexed.zip
Please let me know your findings, I'm having the same problem after installing the deodexed gb. I did not test it on the nondeodxed rooted version but it worked great on the original gb leak.

I just got mine updated to .24 as well. I checked the official ASUS development thread and it was reported to be a few days out, but I guess Google approved it, didn't enforce the quality check, or ASUS just went ahead and released it. Anyway, let's see how much of this firmware is a fix to the reboot problem.
One should do a cold boot after updating. See asus Facebook thread.

Mine might have come from that i waas rooted on .17 and went back to stock for .21 because ota rootkeeper didn't work and when i cleared that and installed stock .17 and updated to stock .21 ....so hope this helps someone

Gmail has always been fine for me too. The only real issue I have had is the RR's and only in deep sleep. Until the last patch (.21), they were always clean. Since then any RR I have gotten has resulted in a boot loop or frozen at the Asus logo. If I run WakeLock, no RR's at all. So heres hoping .24 will fix the one issue. I will add .24 did not break my root either.....applied the patch, restored root, did a cold reboot, turned off WakeLock and all is well....so far.

Well, I was starting to look for methods because I'm sick of the reboots. I was on XDA looking for a method when all of a sudden, I saw the update. Will still look for a method since this update wasn't 4.0.4.

It's a hardware revision problem. Some people experience force closes in applications like GMail due to (I suspect) a memleak in the GPU driver. Lots are effected by it but don't notice it unless they do a lotta stuff in gmail. Others have no issue.

Hi guys, does this update fix the problem where you can't wake the TF101 with the keyboard dock's keypress (with the power saving feature disabled)? Since ICS was released up till the last update, this feature has been broken and it was working very well in HC but broken since ICS was out for the TF101 - is it working now (or has it been working before for anyone in ICS for TF101)?
