I sbf'd back to stock. God this stock sucks. Already missing CM7DX2. No updates have come my way yet. We'll see what happens then. :banghead:
[Motorola Droid X2] swbf2lord:
Talked to Motorola about this and they claim to have no knowledge of such a statement. I remember reading it, but they "pretend" they have no idea what I'm talking about. I definitely am going for something else in the future.

I was at verizon today so i figured id ask. One thing that the update is supposed to fix is the freezing issue that the stock keyboard has..that's all the guy was sure of..
[Motorola Droid X2] antp121:
that's...a...BRILLIANT IDEA! lets all switch to WP7!! since moto dare not trespass in the windows world, we would never be at a loss!! they would be soo ****ing confused!! i think they are handing out HTC Trophy's nowadays so it would even be a problem to switch! the only downside to that is that WP7 blows :(
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
On the contrary, wp7 has been praised for it's smoothness and unique design, but with peppermint working on a wp ROM for the x2 owning another device for the interface would be folly
[Motorola Droid X2] pepz187:
So has anyone received this update? Can they confirm what we all think?
[Motorola Droid X2] gaad0701:
No, this was another premature delivery by Verizon, nobody has even received the soak yet.

I will let everyone know as soon as I can check if we will have an unlocked bootloader and if the SBF back bricks...

Hoping it is this week, I am so F-ing tired of stock Moto!

I hear ya. I've been nandroiding back to rooted stock every day since it was announced by VZW that the update would be dropping, hoping to snag the update.zip and not a god damn thing. I just wanna see what they're pushing for changes damnit!
[Motorola Droid X2] Macguyver:
I tried PP's wp7 ROM briefly, while I applaud his creativity and design, it wasn't for me.

That said after also seeing the new windows 8 consumer preview "metro" interface and what they did to my xbox dashboard I will not be going to a blue square phone anytime soon.

You know im kinda looking forward to this update. I believe its going to be either android 2.3.5 or maybe 2.3.6 (wishing for 2.3.7 although unlikely) the version software is definitely higher then our latest 2.3.5 update so maybe theres more to it then what this article it letting on.
[Motorola Droid X2] maggard5:
It's motorola...it can't be much. They're trying to make it look like they're actually supporting this phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] BreatheALittle:
Hey Maggard! :) You don't think that they will even update our android version?? Guess I was just assuming that any tweaks/bug fixes/upgrades etc would bump up the version.

And usually I'm quite patient (read: not patient at all) but I am dying to know what this update actually turns out to be. How long does this stuff normally take??
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
way to long

a, LOT longer than it SHOULD
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
they do these soak tests as of they will actually go back and fix issues before releasing

the 2.3.4 bugs were pointed out and known(like battery jumping) and moto knew about it for sure, and the forums manager said "well we are going to go ahead and make this update public even with these bugs, thanks for all, your help"

soooo I don't even know why they do these tests
[Motorola Droid X2] BreatheALittle:
How annoying. So they get users to test it out and report what works and what doesn't, then they just proceed to ignore any bugs cause they don't want to be bothered in fixing them? Lame.
[Motorola Droid X2] maggard5:
I guess the Android version will change but I'm not expecting anything major in the update. Hopefully, I'm wrong!

I've been part of the last 2 soak tests (had the option with this one but didn't take it) and it took a couple weeks from announcement before I even received it. Then it was a couple more weeks before it was officially released.

should be coming out anyday

just was posted on droidlife sat

http://www.droid-life.com/2012/03/14/droid-x2-software-update-is-ready-as-build-1-3-418/

soak test was announced beginning of march for both droid 2x & droid X2

droid 2 started getting update pushed friday

same warning as droid x, D2G, R2D2, D2

this will break root and likely block SBF

seams droid pro update didn't block SBF, but did break root

Moto have sunk real low. They are, there is no way to put this mildly, jackasses.

You know what would be the biggest slap on the face to the Razr users? If Moto released the ICS update which kills all root methods and can't be downgraded with an SBF-like file. I am sure they will do it. That is a big dilemma. Update and get stock ICS but unable to leverage the updated kernel for AOSP/CM9 or stay with GB kernel and suffer through the incompatibilities. Oh wait, Razr has kexec coming soon... Hmm. So, this applies to Bionic/D3 unless they have kexec coming too...

God save those people, and X2 users too...
[Motorola Droid X2] S3AL3DF4T3:
Wouldn't it make a lot more sense for MOTO to release 2.36 considering how similar the DX2 & MX2 are?

some interesting progress, on rooting the D2G's latest update, has been made

and unbricking it, without a new SBF

How-to]unbricking downgraded 629 & root normal function OTA 629

involves flashing a repacked SBF, rooting, using rootkeeper, and installing update, or reinstalling

could help DX2, if update ever gets pushed

I have the update as well and that's because this is a "new" unit from an RMA I had to do. Apparently, while root is broken with it, the ability to SBF back down is still there. I am going to admit though, that I am going to hold off attempts until I start seeing more confirmation on this.
[Motorola Droid X2] meskes:
Ivan, saw your letter from Motorola and I have to saw that it makes me absolutely rage. I recently RMA'd my old X2 due to my digitizer and camera honking out on me as well as the oh so common RAM issue on this POS. Had Verizon ship it to me overnight and demanded it be done free since this is not my first time having to do this. The rep called me the next day after having getting it. He asked me if I was still having issues with this unit, to which I replied that I was. I then went in to great detail about it was doing then raged even further about Verizon's total lack of hardware vetting. He then told me that he'd write it up to network operations and have a Network Engineer call me. I am still waiting for the call. I certainly feel your pain and will ditch any future Motorola devices for HTC or Samsung. I'm still on the fence about staying with Verizon tho.
[Motorola Droid X2] tonybahr:
I had them send me a replacement due to screen issues. I got a replacement with this, already sbf'd. I need Cm7. Maybe I shoulda checked it out more first?
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
you got lucky, if SBF worked, you are good to go
[Motorola Droid X2] tonybahr:
Weird thing is rsd said failed and my phone just bootlooped, so pulled the battery thinking I hope this boots. Well it did. Back on 2.3.4.
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
yah, bootloop after SBF isn't that unusual

just a little, scary

edit:

was it right at the end, where it reboots the phone?
[Motorola Droid X2] tonybahr:
Yeah at the end.
[Motorola Droid X2] A2Trip:
Mine does it almost everytime when I SBF. Seems like its been like that since I rooted. I usually just battery pull>power back on in fast boot (recovery)(volume down while powering on)>go to android recovery(press volume up and down at same time when android appears)>wipe data and cache>reboot system. All should work from there. No more bootloop. And I've done that process almost 8-10 times. Works like a charm.

I've read somewhere that someone sent in their X2 and got a refurb with 2.3.5 on it and was able to SBF back to 2.3.4 but I'm not taking that risk.

Hosed

I ended up with a situation where when I couldn't get root under the OTA to .418 earlier update, when I dropped back to 2.3.4 using the SBFs provided by Moon Shadow, I now can have either voice or 3G but not both. Previously under "Wireless & Networks" and "System Select", I had Automatic or Manual. Now I have "Home Only" "Automatic A" which has voice but no data and "Automatic B" which has data and no voice.

Am cursing Googlerola & Verizon in seven languages. Samsung for me next time around.....

Is there a way to block the update? It downloaded automatically and every so often it asks if I want to install it or remind me later. I let my children play on the phone when I am not using it.

I would recommend deleting the update zip that downloaded

It usually is stored in /cache someone else can give you the specific location sorry

Then i would imagine that if it doesn't see the update zip it will stop asking

Then after that freeze i believe fota.apk

I am pretty sure that is used to check for over the air updates

Here is what I froze.

FOTA 2.3.4

Updater 2.3.4

VZW Package Installer 1.0

Package installer 2.3.4
