Root **Official GB leak 2 thread** (was Anyone get OTA 4.5.588? Possibly Gingerbread OTA?)

[ultradroid]

Yes indeed. We should thank and SUPPORT THEM, especially because they took a lot of heat last week. How 'bout we each send a few bucks their way, huh?

Steven - been there/done that. I bought their apk from the market, even though I didn't want to play with Gingerbread right now, because I feel that it's important to support these talented guys who are a tremendous asset to the entire Android community.

BTW, it's good to see you back as Yoda.

Ok, if I'm rooted and have some bloat frozen with Ti backup but running froyo, will the update come through if I just 'unfreeze' the bloat?

Maybe I'll wait till they have the OTA GB root figured out.

 

[trophynuts]

based on those pics that p3 put up the 3G symbol is different than the one on the leak.

It looks more like the 3G from Moto's Froyo ROM. I was actually surprised by the icon in the original leaked GB when it was first released, guess it didn't last.

Found this link from over on Android Central.

Verizon: Droid X Gingerbread rollout has not begun - Computerworld Blogs

Interesting, but kind of understood already at this point.

It was a Moto oopsie. Verizon wouldn't know until it had been done and sure as he'll wouldn't comment on it.

*Waiting Patiently for P3 to drop us the root*

Edit: EVERYONE of you should toss them donations for the TBH App. They save your phones.

Guys android central just posted that Verizon said that they are not pushing any gb update for the droidx. This would explain why no one else on the planet has recievedthis ota. Something is very fishy about this. Especially since the bootlaoder hasn't been changed or the kernel. Im not saying it isn't from motorola. It has to be to be flashed in stock recovery. But I think this is still an early test version that someone yanked and is playing a big joke on the droidx peeps.

 

[Outlaw71]

That could be true. Very surprising our 'experts' didn't catch on if this turns out to be the case. No need to sbf and take this if it isn't the official ota update.

I manually installed this earlier and my battery life suh-ucks now. Suggestions? Thanks! Should we start a new thread for Fixes and Findings for OTA GB Non-Rooted?

Give it a day or so, man. It's gotta sort itself.

I downloaded the zip file, renamed it to "update", and placed it on the root of my sd card.

But when I boot into recovery, and hit "apply sdcard:update.zip" it says "E: Can't open /cache/recover/command" at the top. Then it starts going through the process (opening,verifying, ect) and says "E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip (status 7) installation aborted."

Also, from the last time I had my phone rooted, it still boots into the clock work recovery. I never installed any roms, still on stock froyo, i only played around with things like drocap.

If anyone could provide any insight I'd appreciate it, thanks.

The update.zip file installed on my X and after it was done I rebooted the phone. Now all I get is the red circle with the white M logo in the center. I waited 30 minutes and nothing happened. Pulled the battery and turned the phone back on, same thing again. I also now can't get into the boot menu.

Have you tried the following?

1. Pull and replace the battery
2. When turning the phone on, hold the Power and Home keys.
3. When the Triangle/! page comes up, press both volume keys simultaneously.
4. Wipe data/cache. I do this two or three times, just for good measure.
5. Reboot.

Did they change the colors of the new blur at all? I've seen a screenshot with a black notification bar and another one with the same navy blue bar from the GB leak. Which made the final cut?

 

[AshG]

Which made the final cut?

At this point, it's almost best to say neither has made the final cut. Based on P3 and CellZealot's comments, I think this may have been a premature release caused by a sleepy engineer with an itchy trigger finger. I don't think we'll know which is the final color until VZW figures out which way is up in this situation.

ok, so reading through this, I started to get excited. but the last page bummed me out. So is there any clarification as to whether or not this is the official OTA? And if this is official, will I not get it since I'm running a ROM? I don't want it until its rooted.

Verizon has been playing catch-up with this situation. They've stated several places that this is not an official OTA update, while other people have posted pictures of the OTA install script on their phones. I'd assume at this point that a very recent dev build was accidentally pushed out to a small (but random) set of phones.

In order to make use of any OTA wireless-pushed upgrade, you must be on the most recent stock image. ROMs change parts of the system that the OTA checks prior to installation, so it will fail on your device.

Thanks, cellzealot was able to get my phone back to android 2.2.1 with sbf.

I tried the update.zip file, and this time in worked.
Says "Android 2.3.3" and "System 4.5.588", "Build 4.5.1_57_DX5-18"

Anyone having issues connecting to a wifi with the new update? Everything seems to look good for me but whenever I connect to my wifi, it shows that it's connected but it acts like I'm not connected to anything.

With all ROMs--custom ROMs and stock ROMs--I've found that it takes a couple days for battery life to stabilize itself.

Conspiracy theory time. Either what AshG said

or

Someone close to Moto or VZ released anonymously to give us the latest build but not lose their job.

or

Moto released on purpose in order to make US the testers.

The last is always widely believed but refuted. I go with the first or second "or".

 

[staypuft]

just tried the update and now i just get the red circled moto logo and it takes me to a screen that says
bootloader

err:a5,69,35,00,27

did i just brick my phone?

was rooted and used masderstcok340 to go back and downloaded op mirror to update to gingerbread. how can i get phone to boot again? i cant get into stock bootloader

One issues I've found after installing it is that some picture and videos in the Gallery will not load. Also, when changing Home Screen Profiles, it doesn't load the save wallpaper.
