Nexus S 4G (D720) 4.0.4 OTA

So I've heard reports about the OTA being released for 4.0.4 and I understand it's supposed to be a 2 week rollout schedule. This isn't a thread asking when I'll get it (I haven't).
Just let me know if you guys have gotten it yet, or what you're planning on doing. Make this a fun pole.

I am uncomfortable talking about your fun pole.

Awesome, I hadn't realized it was posted on Google's page... I blindly assumed it wouldn't be because they weren't officially supporting CDMA Nexus phones off OASP anymore.

I just had a pop up that said a system update was available so I clicked install and it went into my cwm recovery and said something about it wasn't signed correct and installation was aborted. Was that the update to 4.0.4?
Edit: by the way I'm rooted and went back to gingerbread last night because I was having problems with the room I was running.

Yeh if you're running CWM you're probably not going to be able to get the OTA, it relies on the stock recovery I believe.

I have it and haven't installed it yet, can't figure out how to pull it before I apply it so others can get it. I am trying to do it without rooting if anyone can help let me know...

Sorry didn't mean to sound rude... I posted the same thing a few posts above about 5 minutes after it was pulled and posted at Android Central. You must not have seen the earlier post.

Thanks!
The update is working very well. Seems much faster and smoother.

I got the update just now. I was running a stock rooted rom and checking for updates like crazy and checking in like google was my untrusted girlfriend but no luck. Then i use one click stock to go completely back to stock and the update started instantly. Just remember to update to 2.3.7 first because stock is on 2.3.4 and reports showed error if you werent on 2.3.7.. its been since december i waited for this moment. custom roms were fun but stock 4.0.4 OtA just feels good to the soul.

OTA Update Notice

I just got the message that a software update was available for 4.5.145. It mentions that the update improves GPS accuracy.

same here, If I update, would it remove my Root access? any ideas!!!

Read the last few pages of the soak test thread. It's nothing special.

I dont know if it will remove root but the soak didn't perma-lock my bootloader so you can easily re-root and start flashing.

I installed the OTA update about a week ago and since then the Motorola task manager has been notifying me of high memory usage. Just running a couple apps at once will show 80% memory used. It doesn't seem like things run slower, but I've never had this problem before. I'm running stock and I haven't installed anything new for weeks.
Anyone else having similar issues?

Exact same problem, also seems to cause random reboots. Wtf

Yeah, I just got this on my phone, is there an SBF available (I'm not going to use it, just curious).

I currently have an unanswered ticket with Motorola on the issue, maybe they can be of some help. If I get a GOOD answer, instead of replace the phone, I will share it.

Sprint Unlocked Bootloader 4.4

Just curious, did anybody on Sprint with an unlocked bootloader get KitKat? I wonder if that's the reason I didn't get it yet...

Yeah I've got an unlocked bootloader and was able to update to kit kat but I had to manually update
Sent from my XT1056 using Tapatalk

Could you elaborate on how you updated to 4.4? My bootloader is unlocked with cwm recovery installed. Im assuming I need to revert to stock recovery?

I am completely stock and haven't gotten it yet.

ok here ya go
so since no one else answered yet. go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2452246
and grab the system dump but dont follow his instructions they didnt work for me. if you keep reading thorough it you will find all you need to do is download the system dump and place it in the root of your storage. after that give the phone a reboot and click check for updates. it will find it and ask you if u want it moved and installed and will do it for you.

Thanks for the reply, that thread seems to make everything unnecessarily complicated, but I still can't seem to find out if this method will work with custom recovery. I'm rooted with cwm, do I need stock recovery to do this? I'm on a 2yr contract, don't wanna risk a brick by trying uninformed.

I would stay away. Everything I've read on the other thread points to you will soft or hard brick the phone. It basically needs to be stock everything, and possibly locked bootloader, for this to work and not brick. I might be a bit off, but I do know that those who are stock and locked haven't seemed to have any issues.

For all of you still waiting, I just had the following chat with a Sprint Rep:
Ciera B.: Hi
You: Hi, I have a Sprint Motorola Moto X and the I know that an update to the Android Software is being pushed out since last week
You: Would you know how long it might take for it to show up on my phone?
Ciera B.: A software update to 13.11.3Q2.X-69-3-8 will roll out for the Motorola Moto X (XT1056) beginning Thursday, 12/12/13 for 1000 users.
Full Client and Network Initiated Updates begin Wednesday, 12/18/13.
You: Does that mean that by tomorrow everybody should have it?
Ciera B.: All Moto X users will get it beginning Wednesday, 12/18/13.
You: So from 12/12 through 12/18 only 1000 users, the rest are getting it from 12/18?
Ciera B.: Right
You: thanx!!
Ciera B.: You're welcome.
Ciera B.: Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
Ciera B.: Thank you. Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to you !

Unlocked bootloader is fine you just need to flash the camera update via toolkit to restore stock recovery then put the 44 update on the root of your card and check for updates so it updates the phone then you flash twrp or cwm and apply root again

Have you switched to ART or anything like that? Tried a reboot or factory reset?

The update is failing for me as well. Stock rooted with TWRP and Xposed. After starting the update, the phone goes into TWRP and starts running an update script, but fails.
Anyone have a zip or IMG or something of the update?

What happens if I update being rooted?

Hey guys, what happens if I update while I get rooted? My phone suggests me the 139.50 update, but I'm rooted, will it work? Do I need to root it again after the update?
Thank you I'm sorry for the stupid questions. This is my first post with this account, I'm not that newbie but I've never had a Motorola phone.

Since you're rooted, I'm assuming you probably have a custom recovery like TWRP installed.
Any official update (OTA) will work only with a stock Android recovery installed.
This means no, you cannot have an OTA update once you root. However, there is a thread on this forum somewhere which has a very reliable but slightly complicated method of getting OTA updates even of rooted.
You may refer to that. And ya, welcome to the XDA family!
