hey guys shifty here w a lil bit of an update i got root sort of going a couple of nights ago it was only temporary (sadly) otherwise id have screen shots for you my devs that are helpin me are taking a closer look as for if it will work for you i have no idea if your on SU3TL-38 (OTA NOT ROOTED PREIMG) id suggest going here http://motofirmware.center/files/category/23-droid-turbo/
then find the SU3TL-39 update and side load it if you do not know what side loading is ill explain it if you already know then skip this ok so after downloading the VRZ_XT1254_SU3TL-39_39_CFC.xml.zip (yes thats actually the name of it as i have the file) you plug your phone in via USB now you will take this zip and move into a file location i usually made it simple like DICM or something then boot your turbo into recovery power + vol down to get into the bootloader use volume buttons till you see recovery select that now youll see a dead andy and text that says no command i usually got passed that by pressing vol down then power for a few seconds then click apply update from SD then go to your folder w the .zip then update simple as that...
Now shifty why update to SU3TL-39? well thats the firmware im working on my turbo never had SU3TL-38 and i cant downgrade so i cant give you my word it would work and if your on SU4TL-44 it will not work i can give you my word on this so like i said temp root was successful i will not release root until i get perma root thanks for the support guys i know theres tuts for side loading but i thought id add it just incase someone whos lower than SU4TL-44 and not n my firmware can get there for root now everyone should know how to check there build number if you dont i dont think you should be rooting xD but yes shifty is on this guys i might work on SU4TL-44 later on so DONT WORRY updated users thats all for now
Cool man. You'll make a lot of people happy with this. Just news someone else is working on it is good news.
Yea man just people to will work on it but all that matters is root on the device I just hope I can get my exploit out and that people try it and give me feedback

but @Qutayba Khader no you cannot root 5.1 LP at this time but i am working on a root method for the build number SU3TL-39 because that is my current build number i was telling anyone on SU3TL-38 stock OTA (no pre-rooted img) to go side load SU3TL-39 if you OTA update youll end up going to SU4TL-44 then i wont be able to help you what i meant by non-rooted is back on 4.4.4 kitkat people used moforoot and thats no longer usable on LP people who used mofo are now using pre-rooted imgs of LP all that means is there using a custom version of the OTA for root users basically no use to us with out root so go check your build number via settings > about phone then youll know what build your on if you need help let me know ill be glad to help

YAY MY STORY WAS POSTED TO ANDROID GUYS!!!
UPDATED: So I had to rush home after class and give everyone that definate answer that they long. This was in my email as I finally got a STRAIGHT answer from Google to the question
"Will the people that did the manual update to Froyo still receive the OTA, and did it void the warrenty? Can I get a straight Answer?"
Hi,
The answer is yes and no, respectively. When 2.2 (Froyo) is sent via OTA, everybody will get it, including those who have already manually updated to Froyo. No, your warranty is not voided by manually updating to Froyo. But we do recommend waiting for the OTA if you're still on 2.1 / Eclair.
Cheers,
Ben

Origonal Post:
I found some evidence that supports, all manual user will get the OTA, even if you updated manually.
Hi all,
Thanks for the responses!
Just wanted to give a heads up that the build floating around is not the official Froyo release. You will get an automatic notification when we OTA the build, no need to manually download it. You will still get the automatic notification if the official release is a newer version than the one you have, so don't sweat...but I'd highly recommend waiting for our official release
@Bhushan4181: You will get the OTA update as long as you are connected to the internet and can communicate with Google servers.
We are striving hard to OTA the build to you ASAP, thanks for your patience!
Gaurav.

From what I am TOLD as long as your manual update came from GOOGLE than it is still a LEGIT and offical update, just not the final, therefor you HAVE NOT voided your warrenty, and will most likely get the OTA so don't panic​
P.S Those who did the manual update(me included) I would not worry about trying to roll back to 2.1. They sent out a test build via ota to testers, and when the final build comes i'm sure EVERYONE will get the OTA as it will have a different signature and what-not. How else would they get the final build to the testers?
Beautiful. Only thing missing now is a release date :|
Good find, I think its a no brainer but confirmation is good for some folks that were worried.

Ya even I was a little tweaked. Not saying we wouldn't be able to just flash it anyhow even if you are NON root. But there was alot of mixed answers not only here but all over the net, and some people were freaking out

It appears, according to the quote ' We are striving hard to OTA the build to you ASAP, thanks for your patience!' that the build is complete and it may only be the OTA to be sorted.
I hope so anyway
"You will still get the automatic notification if the official release is a newer version than the one you have, so don't sweat"
Let's take a look at that again:
"You will still get the automatic notification if the official release is a newer version than the one you have, so don't sweat"
Just wanted to point that out
There is no question that there must be a newer version of froyo thats coming out. I say that because every forum I visit on this site (and other sites) have people complaining that this and that doesn't work (anymore).

I knew there would be at least one person that would point something out to try to kill the post cause they didn't find it first. Obviously it will be newer. The file that was MANUALLY downloaded was available to the media and what not, so what, they are never gonna get the final OTA. Its common sense. And like I siad even if by what slim chance you don't get the OTA, you will be able to push it manually.
Way to try to kill a post
BTW...

lol nice one ...
I dont find any good reason to give/update the press or the "preview phones" some unfinished or still bugged version of 2.2
For what ? so that they review it (Froyo) and write down all the bad or not working things ... it makes no sense , at least for me ...

I don't claim to know what happened, but I'm damn sure there is more to all of this.
I cannot believe the degree to which Google has fumbled this Froyo release. They let us all think we might get it at I/O and look where we are now.....another week later...all anyone has gotten is a broken version.
I said it before and I'll say it again: Mickey Mouse time in Mountain View
nice find!
did anyone read this?
maybe we don't have the offical release... yet...

Since I'm still semi new to Android, you miss out on OTA updates if you're rooted right? Does that also mean you miss out if your bootloader is unlocked?

Dude hes got a point. You posted something that had Nothing to do with the topic at hand. We all already knew the info you posted. Thats what the whole thread was about.
I bought the Aser Iconia A500 today, and its still running an old build of 1.104.XX..
I was wonder if I could download the Updates somewhere, and then install them on the Tablet.
The OTA Download is taking forever and has failed at 92% the first attempt (on second now, and only at 19% after 32 min).
I don't have "root" and would like to update manually without root if possible.
Thank you in advance for any help given..

You know I would hope not. I would guess that you could go to the 1.4.1 or 1.4.7 straight from where you are. And then maybe the OTA to 3.1 will work. But I wouldn't take my word for it.
Hopefully someone that knows will stumble on this and help you with that part.
Oh, Okay. Well thank you for pointing me to the forum topic.
I just dont want to download the wrong thing and screw this tablet up. I just got the thing like an 3 hours ago.

Hehe you really can't with any of the files on that thread lol, the worse you could do is use the wrong update and confuse the gps, making it think you are in europe or something lol. In other words, no worries once you get to 1.141.07, OTA should kick in: lets just say acer didn't get of to that hot of a start with the whole updating business lol.

It can take over 2 weeks for Google to push out the OTA to every phone but not sure you will get it in Iran if their is no Google there. If they can't see your phone they can't send the OTA.

Sort of difficult to tell. Perhaps you can contact Google support and ask them. Still, downloading the update and flashing it manually is easier than you think.
I'm asking cause I saw something called "n900v 4.4.4 Root Tool N900VVRUDNJ6" on google , but link doesn't work...
:S

As of right now, no there isn't. Most of the devs are jumping ship but we can always hold out hope that someone will.

Nope, and all of our devices updated automatically
My wife's is ZV3, not sure how much risk she's willing to take on her DD or if it even helps. I told her to cancel any updates since she got it in mid-July may in case something came up that was patched in newer firmwares.
If anybody has a ZV4 update that can be applied we might be able to help. Or are all of the updates downloaded and stored forever until you actually install them?
