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?

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

hahaha, I agree with you there...
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.
Anyways, we shall wait and see..

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.

+1 as well. Whoever said this means the X is last on VZW's list of importance has no clue...vzw has nothing to do with it. Motorola does.

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 Most of the time the long lead is the first time through testing withdrawn updates taking much less testing and therefore much less time.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.

Check out Verizon's Support Page. They give instructions for updating the droid x to 2.3.15! It seems that it will be released soon.
I can't post links because I'm a new user.. but go to verizon droid x support and you will see what I'm talking about.
FINALLY!!!!!!!! now, imagine the wait for gingerbread... o.o
Aye. Now the waiting game begins or hopefully someone can extract the file,

Word on Droid X getting Gingerbread?
Anyone hear anything recently about gingerbread on the droid x...its been rumored for a while now any idea if and when we are supposed to get the update??
I just went around today looking for just that news, and found a few sites over just the past two days.
First, they say VZW has gotten moto's GB build, and that seems to be confirmed over the various sites. Soooo super exciting!
Not so exciting part? The very next day, many of these sites say it was denied, as VZW is wont to do it seems, and we are looking at another 4 weeks or so.
Let's hope for April! I have been waiting to root, but it seems every time I am about to do it, moto comes with the official next version, so I continue waiting!
Ive heard its as far away as 6 weeks but who knows

Sounds like P3Droid got his hands on the final build of GB for the X, D2, and D2G tonight. Also sounds like maybe this weekend/week rollout rumor was correct!
he got his hands on 3.4.2 blur....not gingerbread i am running on my phone right now and if thats all were getting prepare to be disappointed..dont get me wrong there are improvements but not enough to really wow you..everything just runs faster, a couple apps have been edited, and you can have a work, weekend, and home profile kinda like the droid pro..nothing major oh and longer battery life but nothing really excites u that much

It hasn't been released yet, even in the TBH app. Be patient.
(Can't post outside links yet, so just see p3droid's latest tweet for the link described below.)
The above link was tweeted by P3droid as the prerelease thread until it's gone public.

If you want DroidX gingerbread hot out of the oven, get the TBH app. The release will be exclusive to paying supporters for a few days, at least.
do i have to update the tbh appp to get it?
P3droid's latest tweet said there will be a GB release today
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Have they been able to root it yet?
Sounds exciting
lol i just bricked my DX thinking about it..time to get my battery charge at VZW..I hope the release is tomorrow, perfect way to end a busy Monday ..
Just curious..in the pictures I see a Froyo kernel, isn't gingerbread suppose to have a more updated kernel? like 2.6.35 or something??
u have to remember this isnt the actual gingerbread its a lkeaed version im sure motorola's final version will have an updated kernal and I really hope they decide to drop the bootlaoder!
lol oh ok... I hope so too..usually these leaks are a sign, never the less it already has a new kernel, but based on 2.2 if I'm correct..
No new bootloader. That would only come from VZW in an official update.zip file.
No root yet for consumer hardware either...we are hoping that getting this out may help find a solution.
i really really want p3droid to release this thing onto TBH!
im here trying to recover my DX via ghetto charging..lol,,dont know if its working..phone still off..anyone kno where i could get some instructions for this?
So I've read that the GB OTA for the DX is live, and it's a newer version than the leaks. I'm assuming the the D2 OTA will be right around the corner, hopefully with some bug fixes. I personally can't wait.
Oh, and TBH confirms that the 2.3.340 SBF for the DX works with the OTA, so the 2.3.20 could possibly work with the D2!
*UPDATE*
So Verizon is saying they have not pushed out an OTA for the Droid X.
Team Black Hat is saying the update was from Motorola.
I don't know who is giving out the update, or how, but its a "silent" update.
I'm pumped as well man. Already back on stock in anticipation

Well, there was a GB leak for the D2, which means Verizon and Moto are actually working on it, so I would say we will, and probably very shortly.
i just knew there was a thread going a couple weeks back saying d2 wasnt gonna get it ...i hope we do
The report saying the XD wasn't getting gb was by P3Droid, who later said it was getting it, but thought it wasn't because he was shown all the moto phones getting gb and the XD wasn't one of them, so the XD is definitely getting gb

Yeah, I wouldn't see Verizon and Moto taking the time to make a stable GB update for the D2 (which leaked. It may have had a few bugs, but it was completely stable) and not releasing it. It would be a huge waste of money on their part.
I wouldn't say completely stable. I had a couple random reboots. But it's still less than I had in Liberty 1.5
well if the ota is better than the leak it will be great i have been running the leak and love it
God this stuff just keeps getting more confusing.
Verizon is saying they have not pushed out and ota for the dx.
TBH says it is from Motorola.
I don't know what to think of it...

According to gizmocrunch.com, Gingerbread is now "officially" available to a few select Atrix owners. It is available on an invitation-only basis at the moment. Verizon and Motorola have fired out emails to Motorola Atrix 4G owners advising that the Android 2.3 Gingerbread update is available to the first 1,000 applicants who respond to them.
Verizon and Motorola?

Verizon doesn't sell the Atrix!
Doesn't matter. Initial surveys do not close until July 18th, then there is a SOAK survey, then there is selection. It will be a week before the first 1000 get into SOAK.

Yeah for some reason the dummy whi made the report online had a brain fart and put Verizon instead of AT&T.

The official gb has differences from the leaked?
I think it should have, bcz the leaked hasn't got a good bat life, and has other bugs too..

You need to read the Moto forums. Mark, Moto forum manager, said a couple of weeks back that there will be a selection this time. If you have not been contributing on the Moto forums, you don't get in. That's what came directly from him in the GB thread! They want people who will actually provide feedback this time.

Yea, the article said Verizon & Motorola. I meant to correct it before posting, but forgot. I wanted to include the article's URL, but xda wouldn't let me, stating I need to have 9 posts prior to having the ability to include URLs in my posts. meh . . .

They want feedback for something they will release in july, and we are already middle in july??
And again, will be a next update(like in the past with 1.8.3), to fix their bugs?
Anyway. Waiting for something better, than the leaked one.
And ken I think stopped updating to beta#4 his leaked 2.3.4 cuz it doesn't have a lot of future.
Its crazy to have a good battery life only when you undervolt the cpu's when phone is idle.
Battery life must be good with stock condition, and with modifications must be extraordinary-good!!!!

I seriously doubt they will find 1000 atrix users that contribute to the moto forums. You may have better chances, but non-contributors will get in the soak
