My thoughts on that are that they were very near completion when that root method was discovered. And that I don't think they care so much as Verizon about us rooting. They did say they will be unlock bootload at some point. So why would they take time and resources away from better development to stop our development . Some of which im sure they look at sometimes when they see THEIR customers loving it.
[Motorola Droid X2] nitwit:
I gotta believe there are Moto employees that participate either on this site or one of the 'sister' sites to see what people are coming up with for their phones.

If there are, I hope they see the frustration we all have with them dampening development by locking everything down.

I will probably go Samsung from now on...
[Motorola Droid X2] L2_n19h7m4r3:
Ditto! First and last moto android phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
We all say something like this until one day we wake up and see plastered all over xda "moto unlocks finally!" Lol. Their devices aren't bad. Just frustrating ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] rp076:
+1 on that!! :D
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
I've said before this is my first smartphone, but I can't say it will be my last moto. I got a ways until im eligible for another upgrade, maybe motor will unlock bootloadrrs by then
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
I 3rd that! I have an upgrade in April and i'm really hoping VZW is done kissing Moto's a$$ by then and decides to drop the SGS2. If not, i'm stuck with this damned x2 or i'm switching carriers that has the SGS2.
[Motorola Droid X2] mattpedigo:
:) Gotcha... Wasn't trying to flame. Gotta stop checking forums when I'm at the pub.

And honestly? Wouldn't Motorola (now owned by Google) love the hype that they get on these forums? Think about Apple... Most of the hype for their projects comes BECAUSE they're so secretive. If they offered up information about the iPhone 5 before its release, people wouldn't get so excited. Speculation leads to a lot of sales.

And to the point of Motorola being Google's own now... 2.3.5 wouldn't be extremely far fetched, would it? Probably won't happen this early but who knows? Google is calling the shots now and maybe we'll see a more aggressive update schedule. Here's to crossing my finger.
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
Technically google doesn't yet own it. The 2 parties agreed to it but the deal will mot be finalized until mid 2012, they hoped by the end of this year but a move by the US justice department is going to delay if not void the deal. They need to investigate the terms and implications of the deal toit uphold anti-trust laws. Also google has vowed to let Motorola mobility operate independently. They are only buying it so they can fight Microsoft over the fact that every company that makes android phones pays like $10 for every phone they make to Microsoft for royalty fees. Motorola mobility is the only company left that hasn't rolled over and agreed to pay the money. Google bought them to fight back, not to further development.

Edit: some people have speculated that Microsoft makes more money from android royalties than from windows! Android isn't free software, all htc and samsung users pay Microsoft a license fee, it is worked into the price of the phone.

*music and shooting star* the more you know!

just a quick note the eclipse rom developer nitroglycerine33 tweeted he would love to have a copy of the soak test rom so he can start re-making the eclpse platform based off of it. soooooo send it to him asap pretty please :)

I got a DROID charge on the way for me so I wish you guys luck :) getting out if here while I still can

Yeah im working the bids on ebay for the next few days to see if I can snag me a charge for good price but I ain't gonna leave the x2 behind that's for sure.

I just want a 4g to use when I want it ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] Sandso9:
Looks like we will be in the charge forums lol its a nice device from what I hear but sadly I have to leave the x2 cause im trading it for the charge.

Anybody Have The Facts Yet Of What's In This Release?

I've Heard The 3D Launcher And Google Chat With Video.(Makes No Sense)
[Motorola Droid X2] buddyfriendo:
I can believe the 3D Launcher but I agree Google Chat w/Video seems bogus.
[Motorola Droid X2] donlad:
I'm really hoping for 3D launcher, and I wouldn't care if Google Chat w/ Video comes or not, because 1) our phone has no front-facing camera, and 2) Skype already supports our back camera.

I just want the 3D Launcher and unlockable bootloader.

DX2 - Eclipse v0.6

Flash backs. Lol
[Motorola Droid X2] nateohio:
How do you guys sign up to be part of the soak test? Id definitely be willing to help out.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
u might be too late for this one but just go to motosupport.com i believe. or google motosupport forums. find the x2 forum and there is a link somewhere that says sign up for motorola feedback network. sign up to give feedback and there are different options for giving feedback. i give them feedback for anything they asked for. hopefully i get a little wet..

on another note i just sbf'd and was HIGHLY suprised to see my old bootanimation that I enetered come up instead of the droid eye that should be there when stock. what is up with that?!
[Motorola Droid X2] -Alex:
I went through the same thing last night.

I came from Eclipse .7 (which is amazing) and first did a factory reset through the default recovery. Then booted up and still saw the Eclipse animation.

I then went through set up but DID NOT SET UP ANY ACCOUNTS YET OR DOWNLOAD ANY APPS.

Ran an sbf back to Froyo, which did NOT complete with "PASS". I booted up and had a boot-loop with the droid eye. I did a battery pull, booted to stock recovery and again did a factory reset.

As expected the phone now booted properly and I went through set up (again without setting up any accounts or downloading apps).

I sbf'ed again to Froyo and it completed with "PASS". I booted up (did NOT set up accounts yet or download apps) and took the over-the-air Gingerbread update. After Gingerbread installed successfully I then set up my accounts and re-loaded apps from the market.

As a side note, my battery life today has been absolutely exceptional: 14 hours, 25 minutes and at 45%, according to Circle Battery Widget. Display has been on for 2 hours and 10 minutes, 34 minutes of voice calls, two email accounts pushed (one via Touchdown for work), re-installed all apps (at least the non-root ones), read forums and websites on the Internet for about an hour and streamed music for about a half an hour through Amazon Cloud Player with absolutely no stuttering or popping. I do use the BH6X extended battery, but my battery life on stock Gingerbread had been horrible prior to this.

I read something from another xda member (credit: nookie87) about how doing an sbf back to Froyo followed by a clean OTA Gingerbread install works to correct battery life issues and it appears to be true.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
yeah i read that post also ..and this is what i did also. but mine passed the first time. i also came from amazing eclipse 7. I ended up not being able to even touch android bot either to get to activation and set up. but then i went stock recovery and did data and cache wipes then after that it booted with correct animation into froyo. after seeing froyo again for five minutes i remembered why i was disgusted with it hahaha. I am currently installing OTA GB. and am very curious to see how it runs. ever since my second month with this phone i went straight from froyo to root gb and then to eclipse when it first came out. i learned very fast lol.

i think the problems for the touch screen not being responsive for me had to do with the touch points additions niro made to eclipse not being wiped. and i think the custom bootanimation i had showing up was actually in /data/local when it was installed via root tools. everything seems okay now tho. gingerbread almost done loading and im excited to see if i make it into soak test...very excited...
[Motorola Droid X2] -Alex:
I've noticed that the android on the start screen is often unresponsive at first on a re-installation. It seems like there is a bit of delay while system loads.

Soak? What soak? :)
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
i dunno...i just keep hearing about it on here so hope i get it :)

but it wasnt just at first unresponsive...it definetly was stuck...sat there forever...data and cache wipe fixed it tho..
[Motorola Droid X2] Sandso9:
be careful guys the new bionic update fixes the root exploit this new update might do the same
[Motorola Droid X2] gaad0701:
+ 1
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
The real question is can I sbf back and still root 2.3.3
[Motorola Droid X2] rp076:
Yea I've been thinking the same thing....just gonna have to pass on this test
[Motorola Droid X2] AndroBlue:
I don't understand why people are SBFing back to Froyo. Won't the GB SBF work for this?
[Motorola Droid X2] AndroBlue:
Yes. Same method as D3/Bionic.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I should clarify. Im hoping that sbf back doesn't break the phone and that if sbf is possible that the patch that stops root doesn't survive the sbf

---------- Post added at 08:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:36 AM ----------

Im sure it would. I did it this way just to be "official" about the whole thing. I also had never taken an OTA before so wanted to see how it was donr
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
No known root exploit for a new 2.3.4. Bionic build that was found on a Moto server. Also, SBFing back is unknown to work. Check the bionic forums - p3droid talks about it. I guarantee your update disables root...
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Yeah I been following on twitter.

I am wondering if we can get a preroot version of this like last time

[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
I love my x2 peeps! Still subscribed to the thread!
[Motorola Droid X2] nookie87:
Yep, that was me. And yes, battery life still is great for me. Not back on Eclipse yet (hearing the battery drains so I don't want that for now...) but enjoying rooted OTA Gingerbread.

After 12hrs of regular work use (heavy push corporate email, some phone calls, heavy calendar use), I'm usually around 68%. And that's on standard battery... I haven't even tried my extended yet. On average, I'm losing about 2-3% per hour depending on the amount of use.

Love the battery life on the X2.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Hahaha. Was just thinking. Wouldn't it be ironic if gingerbreak worked on newer versions?

Wonder if it had been tried yet? Would be REALLY funny if it did.
[Motorola Droid X2] ilovesoad:
They already patched that vulnerability. It's not like it's all of the sudden be open again.
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
That's why it would be funny! I forget sometimes you soad fans think humor is a government conspiracy.
[Motorola Droid X2] ilovesoad:
I haven't listened to them in so many years. I just kept it from when I had that as my gmail. When it was in beta. That tells you how long ago it was. I was children. :p
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
Head to the android dev subforum, 2d put the sbf file up and it IS rootable with Pete's 1 click
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Are we certain this is gonna be the same as the OTA?

can u link to that page please?

This is exciting

Also do we know yet if sbf back to 2.3.3 and froyo possible?
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
If not the soak, then what would the latest 2.3.4 leak be? Sbf'n to 2.3.3 shouldn't be a problem at all. Froyo isn't necessary anymore except for excessive work to get back to rooted 2.3.3 I would

test it but the thought of being stock makes me nauseous..

Motorola hates its customers, us included.
[Motorola Droid X2] teegunn:
This will probably be my last moto phone. I'm not overly unhappy with my DX2 but it could be so much more if allowed to be. Poor battery life comared to my DX. Dual core, but not really since dual core really isn't utilized yet. Glitches like audio issues, of which I have very few, but only because I am debloated, supercharged, sd speed increased, etc. The real kicker is the locked BL. At least with the DX there were work-arounds to that, but not so on the DX2 and it's been out long enough I don't think there ever will be now. So once the Vigor/Prime or like upgaded phone is availabe on veizon, I will be making the switch. Until then, I can get along fine with this phone but really moto you shouldn't lock **** down this much especially when your stock software has so many glitches that the dev community would have remedied on their own if you'd just unlock the damn thing.

.

Thanks for much for siging up to provide feedback on the upcoming software upgrade for the Droid X2. Unless we run into unexpected difficulties, we will start the upgrade mid-day tomorrow. Sorry that we're soaking over the weekend -- we know you have other demands on your time.

One warning -- your device is showing up as being on non-standard software. If you want to upgrade to the new load, you must be back to stock before the push. Note that if you miss the first push tomorrow, you will get another chance Saturday afternoon.

You can now enter the private community where we will be expecting your feedback. Get started here and learn more. In the event that you can't enter the community, reply to this email with the user name and password you are using.

Please do not send emails here or PM me if you can possibly help it. Soaks are busy times and mostly I will be in the community.

Thanks again!

Make sure you SBF to 2.3.4 beforehand. And if (you will probably hit this snag) you get a boot loop, load up fastboot and clear data and cache.

Then use Pete's One Click Method, install bootstrap, and you're gold. Let me know if you need any files.

Sally: Not to rush you,are we still connected on the chat?

Visitor: I own a Samsung Galaxy Epic from Sprint and a Samsung Seris 9 Laptop. The laptop comes with software called phoneshare.exe which allows you to connect and share all aspects of the phone. I cannot find the app for the mobile phone. Can you help?

Sally: I am sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.

Sally: I understand that you are unable to find all share application on the device. Am I correct?

Sally: Thank you for holding.

Sally: I have checked the details.

Visitor: and

Sally: I am sorry, there is no such application on the device.

Visitor: What is the software on the samsung series 9 supposed to work with then? Its says it works with Galaxy S.

Visitor: What is the video making reference to? It is a samsund video.

Sally: However, with help of ALLSHARE application on the device, you connect to PC with the help of WI-FI.

Visitor: not the same - what is phoneshare? why is it marketed? how can I use it?

Sally: I understand your concern.

Sally: Phone share application might be available in Android market.

Sally: If it is available in Android market, you can download and use the application to view the files.

Visitor: no its not. It is a Samsung product. Where is it? How can Samsung market something that does not exist?

Sally: I am sorry to inform you that the ALLSHARE is the only option on the phone to connect to PC.

Visitor: Based on this false advertising, will Samsung agree to buy back my Samsung Series 9 and Samsung Galaxy S?

Does anybody have apk file? if so please share it with us
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] NykoNako:
The PhoneShare PC app should work if you use the Inst.exe to install it; I made that mistake too by using SetupW.exe. Using the wrong exe just shows the PhoneShare splash screen.

I was able to install version the PhoneShare v1.0.4.5 on a Win7 x64 machine. I also have a Win7 Slate PC (XE700T1A-A05US) that this app is supported on, but I do not have a Galaxy S I9000 to pull the APK from.

I know Samsung Support says it's only supported on the Galaxy S(GT-I9000) but I'm curious to know if it runs on the Galaxy Nexus. :D

Coudn't anyone with this device run an App Manager with a Backup Feature (eg Astro, EStrong File Explorer, File Explorer) and just backup the APK to their device & then upload somewhere for us to pull it from?

If anyone with the phone has a chance & wouldn't mind to up the apk, I don't think testing it would hurt.

Thanks

Not entirely sure what this phoneshare does, but luckly there're already out there very good programs that surely do the same. Android Sync Manager is quite good for sync'ing purposes and if it's just file sharing i'll either use ES File explorer (and look my pc up) or a web server file explorer (wifi file transfer, there're plenty)
