If i am right Chinese version leak someone.

That means someone from BETA testers leak with purpose this file.

Looks like there isn't beta tester from europe version who decide to leak something.

Umm.. Are we sure, that apflex will/should be same, as for 2.2.2 - with only P and A different?

Also there is possibility of another (dev/beta) server, where it is stored. It don't have to be stored on public server yet.

I`m not saying: M. won`t put sbf on servers before they release it. They put it. I meant. I`m not sure, if M, finished this sbf already :D
[Milestone 2 General] StevePritchard:
Release is expected to be before the end of the month : https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/512433#512433

So I guess there's a possibility that it will hit their servers soon, if it's their normal practice to upload a few days before public release.

when the EU gets the update to GB does anyone know if it will be avaible to us few USA user's?

Ok, I tried Moto server again, if there already isn't UK GB on their server, but no lock so far.

I wonder, if somebody (maybe w0ndersp00n) have apflex for DE Froyo - we can try bruteforce with DE version, maybe UK version isn't at server yet, but DE is...
[Milestone 2 General] maxxz:
i almost regret now that i did not stay on stock vodafone Froyo, could verified this info myself.

But i don't think GB update to be available in 2011, as i through about it before early Q4 -> mid-november -> end-november -> early Q1 2012.
[Milestone 2 General] w0ndersp00n:
This is interesting. If that guy would be able to share his build.prop and default.prop we could get the right properties to poll Moto's servers.

The only thing that bugs me (and I don't know if it's true) is the battery icon. I thought it changed to a more flat icon (like on the newer Droids) and the alarm icon: it should be square. But then again: I might be wrong :)

Actually the pdf on the German site is the same as the UK one, 2.3.4 refers to an old Froyo update, and its talking about the motorola numbers, which is for the motorola 2.4.24 update, which I believe is the last Froyo update, so its not there yet

You do realise that even when we get this update we are going to have to wait to get the root exploit to really make the most of it. :-(
[Milestone 2 General] dangpzanco:
We already have a workaround for it, on the last Chinese GB SBF: flashing the first leaked chinese gb's exploitable kernel, rooting and then reflashing the newer kernel (using of a nandroid restore and a fixed-sbf)...

Sorry, if it may sound confusing...

AFAIK,

the MS3 root tool also can be used on MS2 CN2.3.4
[Milestone 2 General] Kangburra:
I for one would like a downloadable sbf that is pre-rooted. It won't take long by the sound of it, so back to the waiting then :-(
[Milestone 2 General] kar200:
I would like to have an unlockable bootloader (even if it is deployed through a Froyo upgrade).

Hopefully the devs here would work hard and get the MS2 added to CM7 officially. ICS is around the corner and we can bypass GB altogether.

By the way, did the leaked Chinese version contain the bootloader? If yes then I doubt we will see it unlocked any time soon will we?

[Milestone 2 General] cleguevara:

what??

Motorola Mobility should be owned by Google according to this:

http://investor.google.com/releases/2011/0815.html

right? Am I missing something? Pff, I really hoped in unlocked bootloader.

C'mon Motorola!

EDIT: ah, unfortunately I missed something: "The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2011 or early 2012." :(
[Milestone 2 General] kar200:
Just in time with the upgrade lol. I tried to find the news article where the head of Moto said any device getting a GB update should get the option of unlocking the bootloader with it but I have not been successful. Google News is not fiding anything.

I will see how the GB behaves on the MS2 and then maybe look at selling this stupid phone and get an equivalent HTC.

[Milestone 2 General] will5:
Hope google forces moto employees to use google calendar...
[Milestone 2 General] Kangburra:
The Desire Z is not as well built as the MS2, I have one in the cupboard and much prefer the Motorola. Given you can add all the software to get a sense-like interface I can't imagine why you would buy an HTC. Freedom of choice I guess! :-)
[Milestone 2 General] kar200:
HTC was just an example. I must say MS2 (and generally Moto) device are well built and you hardly see people complain about their build quality. I got the MS2 as an upgrade for my I9000 from Voda as they had it on special. It is just too slow compared to the I9000 although they are supposed to be similar hardware.

I still use my I9000 and kept my MS2 unused (only for testing). I am hoping GB update and everything that follows will bring more speed to the device so I can finally switch to the MS2.

Now I am after a Xoom :) don't ask me why! Apparently the bootloader can be unlocked :)

Well, bootloader wont be unlocked, so, the only useful thing about 2.3 will be having a base kernel to work on. And made some modded roms based on official 2.3 that will loss interest once custom roms start using ics.

But maybe there is a hope, that Google will change this situation, after he actually take over Motorola. And that will be in end of 2011 or in Q1 2012...

I think it is possible, that Google, as Android founder, will want to bring updates to as much Moto devices as possible, because then it will bring Motorola to totally another light - it will bring Motorola as company with really good support to public. And Google has usually great support of their products...

But of course, this is only hope and nothing else, but if Google will take over Motorola and bring his rules to this company, then many things could change and things, which was defined now as closed issues (like locked bootloader or no updates for M2 in the future) can change I think.
[Milestone 2 General] ZyrByt:

[Milestone 2 General] cindylove:
Lets hope they will provide the update for all carriers and retail customers. And not only for Vodafone, like they did for the atrix.
[Milestone 2 General] ZyrByt:
Locked bootloader has obvious advantages:

When user want`s new android, he must buy new phone, not stick, to the old and just update. Moto sells anoter piece of hardware, money flows, and so on and so on.
[Milestone 2 General] dangpzanco:
Also, Motorola makes it more difficult to brick its phones. So they don't have much to worry with the carriers and warranty.

[Milestone 2 General] diditnya:
Motorola Europe FB pages said update officially in tomorrow....
[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
It's not important, it doesn't matter, because

- if you want stock fw, then simply after release for one carrier, someone could bring it there and then it can use anyone, because afaik all versions are same - Vodafone SBF works also for other carriers and countries. At worst case you could always use baseband switcher.

- and if you are not waiting for stock, but for custom, then again - it doesn't matter for which carrier they will release it, because kernel should be same in all releases ;)

And we will not get SO BIG improvement for custom roms anyway (if bootloader will stay locked). The best improvement, we should get is touch responsiveness I think. So not SO BIG deal about that update for non-stock fw users :) It would be huge if they unlock bootloader, but that's not going happen.
[Milestone 2 General] G_I_A:
I'm ok with just better touch responsiviness. But I'm still hoping that we'll se an unlocked bootloader :p

Anyway congratulations euro friends =)
[Milestone 2 General] DreadPirateDan:
I've accepted the best I can hope for is a uk kernel. Really couldn't give a stuff about official gingerbread. Then if MIUI is adapted to use that, I've got all I need to tide me over till my contract runs out and I can upgrade :D. For now tezet's cm7 seems to be getting me by sufficiently.

Unfortunately my contract is for another year and a bit yet :(
[Milestone 2 General] maxxz:
I through about it and i love CM and MIUI customizations but it never gets stability and smoothness of stock, i know lot of you disagree, but in my case i am really glad about stock update to gingerbread.
[Milestone 2 General] DreadPirateDan:
I agree. Stock is reletively stable, with minimal major bugs. But it is full of little things that slow it down, lag, etc. Whenever everything goes bad and I have to restore stock, it makes me shudder lol. Plus I used get a lot of random force closes with a lot of things on stock froyo. I tested the ms2ginger rom for about 15 minutes before I just couldn't handle it anymore and rushed back to MIUI, so official GB certainly will not be for me :p

Whereas custom roms offer amazing performance increase, smoother UI animations and stuff. But you're more likely to have your phone randomly stop receiving calls or messages. Random reboots and extended lock ups.

So it's each to there own of what compromises they are willing to make/what they do and don't need. I'm just happy I can play ocarina of time on n64oid at a decent framerate on custom :D
