Moto is getting ready to soak test JB!

According to droid-life.com:
http://www.droid-life.com/2012/11/1...te-for-razr-hd-and-maxx-hd-likely-jelly-bean/
I can neither confirm nor deny if such a program exists due to agreements I may or may not have made while filling out a form that may or may not exist.
I know that the rumor is Dec 17th but I wonder if a soak test means that time frame will be moved up or not.

I may have received an email this day that may have been similar. Was kind of surprised that they asked if you're rooted and sounded pretty cool with it simply requesting that you unroot before they pick your brain. Never ran a presoak before unless you count washing my car. Usually just grab leaks once they're available but didn't want to grab the recent leak knowing official JB was right around the corner.
Here's to a great phone getting a great OS update!

Hope I'm included in this!....

I also can neither confirm nor deny that I may or may not have received an email to provide feedback on a pending software update.

I take it you guys are not already on the 4.1.1 leak?

I nearly threw my phone against the wall when I saw that I couldn't delete "Verizon Bookmarks" from Chrome. What the hell?

Root. Uninstall with TiBu. Re-download chrome from play store.
Give finger to Verizon.
Rejoice.

Any idea as to how long it will be before the soak comes out? I tested ICS on my Bionic, and can't remember how long it was between the time I received the email and the update came to my phone.

They will send out another email when they start releasing the OTA update for the soak test.
Got my phone too late and doubt I will be added

When I did the soak for the OG MAXX, they sent a second email saying it was being sent out for the testing phase.
It was only a few days after the invite email was sent that the 2nd one was sent out and, that Saturday morning it was available to install.

My genitals are excited.

Will there be a root...

I just picked up one of these and been reading up on it all... I checked I am on a new update so it looks like there's no root for me correct? Do you think a way may turn up? Is anyone working on it?...is there anything I can do like maybe call Verizon and hope a CLND will not have the update. .. thank you for any input

Nah.... I'm on 98.16.3.... I was to... I thought I wasn't going to get one on the new update I placed my order the day of... and it was shipped the day after.... but lucky me... I get a freshly updated RAZR M...

I did... I was really thinking I wouldn't get the update... I ordered it the day of the update push... but then again I am very unlucky with phones...
Sent from my XT907 using xda app-developers app

So wait, even if we have the update, it's okay, we can just downgrade?
Also, OP, I'm sure you got your RAZR for free on contract, but I bought mine new on eBay to keep my unlimited data. I dunno if $280 was too much for you, I usually wait until a phone has been out for a year or so and then I can snag it for $250-350 off contract, new.
On the bright side, now you can get the latest device when it comes out for a reasonable price.
If I were you, I'd take advantage of the return policy ($35 restocking fee) and get like the nicest phone possible- maybe hit up a Verizon store and try them all out. I know the Dinc 4G LTE and Droid DNA had 2-3 more bars than the Motorola and Samsung (and Apple) phones, but they all may use different "bar calibrations".
The only reason I got the RAZR M was because a good deal came up on eBay and the seller took a pic of the barcode/info, so I saw the firmware version before buying.
Best of luck!

Yeah, that sucks. Gotta love the timing.

I found the 98.16.1 update file tried to apply it via recovery no go...I'm not going to risk trying to RSD the whole XML.. so I just called Verizon... asked if I could request a replacement without the update... he said... we can make a note to the warehouse but I cannot promise you one without the update as all CLND will be updated within two weeks of the push... so one can only hope...
Even if I can't get a an older version I'm probably gonna keep the M kinda a Motorola fanboy... I mean it was the first hand held cell phone I believe...
Sent from my XT907 using xda app-developers app

Mine updated itself last night. Okay, fine, I probably accidentally hit the update button. Anyway, now I have a locked, unrooted M. Good thing that X is coming soon.

I got my M for $50, but was able to keep my unlimited data. It helps to know people in the business.

I have a Utility/Script for restoring root on the M with the current OTA - you can find that here - http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...oot-razr-m-xt907-for-locked-devices-on-91878/

Just to detail here a little. The root method is still Motochopper. With the help of realbbb on the HD, SamuriHL was able to produce a script to perform the function. I merely adapted it for the M.
This method essentially rolls back the device thru a modified fxz without flashing the tz partition, roots with Motochopper, protects root, updates then restore root.

This isn't really T-Mobile specific but I'm curious as to why we don't have the Verizon firmware or anything available to DL. Maybe having an unlocked boot loader will prevent you getting an invite?
Sent from my XT1052 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I rolled back to 4.4 tmo except I did NOT flash gpt.bin or motoboot.img. This means I can't take an OTA...
BUT I signed up for feedback or whatever on the moto forums and as soon as I cleared data, my phone is showing a software update. I don't know if this is 4.4.2. How can I tell? I'm also rooted. Someone help me out so that I can capture this. Maybe just something minor but I'm successfully on 4.4.
Edit: Don't know what the update was but it wasn't the 4.4.2. I should have gotten a soak test email which I have not received. Thankfully it didn't seem to do anything and I didn't brick it. I'm trying to capture it so that I can manually install the partitions I need. I can't do it through OTA because of my 4.4.2 bootloader.

has anyone received an invite to participate in the soak test? I signed up for the MFN a couple of days ago and have seen nothing yet.

I got invite long time ago, I am rooted though so might not get OTA

Why wouldn't you? That shouldn't affect you getting pushed the update. Plus, being rooted, you just need to download it and use root explorer or es file manager to open the cache folder and copy the update zip! That way anything custom could also be flashed separately. My prob is that I used the UK build so my boot loader is already 4.4.2... I need the zip so I can manually flash the other parts.

So anyone getting 4.4.2 on T-Mobile? I got an invite a week ago and still nothing

Did you take their survey or anything? I thought the invite included that. The wait is killing me.

That's correct - this soak test is for AT&T version (XT1058) and just like any Moto phone, you have to opt-in to the feedback network to get the soak test invite.

Sorry, I'm not very good at reading sarcasm on these forums, lol.
I was being serious but trying to avoid being the typical xda smartass, it's a delicate balance...

They only send it to a select number of people. If you got the email you might get the soak test or a survey, so if we didn't receive the email by now then we won't be getting it.
