I rooted my Droid X no problem but looking at the many different sites with ways to unlock the bootloader a little differently, I seem to be getting more confused and very afraid to mess up this phone I have waited so long to get. Can someone do a YouTube tutorial? That would be awesome.everyone is so helpful here that I wish someone would do that for us..
Good Morning GNexers! So I took the night off, so have almost 1000 posts to catch up on. Congrats on 80k! I will catch up here in the next 30 minutes or so, but of course anyone who wants to summarize is welcome to.
Yeah, I have tried, but my Dinc died on me in August after a trip through the washing machine, so I had to use my upgrade then, I am WAY too far from getting one to really push it. I just want this phone too bad, but at the time there was no real solid info that Verizon was going to get it, so I didn't think to just buy a replacement off contract. (And I cancel insurance on my phones as soon as I am eligible for an upgrade.)
Good morning sexy Nexies!
It's tasty Tuesday and I want to have some ice cream sammich. Let us have our dessert verizon.
And remember to play nice kids. The mods love us more and have more time to play in here when they aren't changing dirty diapers.
No love on the $100 promotion for me today. The CSR immediately said this was a promotion they WERE running but are no longer. I didn't really push it very hard, but I wonder if maybe VZ caught on and are putting a stop to it. Hopefully not the case for everyone.
Morning BB!
And I am sorry, but if I can change dirty diapers while still chatting here (yep, done it), so can the mods
The 12th of what month? LOL
Sooo... I go to sleep pumped that I'm going to be one day closer to a Gnex on Thursday. Now we are already talking about that not happening?
Guys, I don't know how much longer I can do this. My work is taking a toll and I need to step it up. The constant rumors are affecting my life.
We need a support group for everyone I think...
Yeah but you only have 1 in diapers (right?)
Our mods have however many of us there are that potentially need a changing.
I have yet to post anything regards a date as I know so many are puked out over dates by now. At any rate, I am retired so I sleep when I feel like it (which is nice) but you do miss stuff.
The manager from the Corp VZW store I use had texted me at 9:33pm last night to call him. I didn't wake til 3:30am so I couldn't call til just now (his personal cell). I had had an appointment for Thursday morning so I was relatively sure it was bad news.
But I just got off the phone with him (yes, early I know but we are friends of many years). It seems the big focus now is to make 100% sure or as close as possible that all phones properly released are updated with their "new" update immediately.
That said, he had to push my appointment to Friday the 16th. He stated that was based on information he and other area managers received last evening about the OTA update not being ready for a Thursday morning release. In his words, they were told it was only a matter of hours difference and the "okay" could still come during the day Thursday.
The sales material for the in-store advertising and such wont be put up until Thursday after close and the first true sales day not actually begin until Friday. At any rate, take it with the normal grain of salt of course.
He summarized by saying that it was going to be a "soft" launch initially and that whatever the delay was from the 9th was being taken care of with the now almost frantic "must be updated" on activation. I am East coast and haven't read any of the 20th rumors so if true, that information wouldn't be available to him until he get's to his store.

Hey another Pittsburgher! Nice... glad to see we have good taste. Yeah I didn't have much luck with it either, but I didn't feel like trying very hard.
Aw crap, here we go.
Go Steelers!
Ya I'm not much into pushing the CSR's really hard and asking for supervisors of supervisors...not saying that is bad but I am just not good at it. Anyhow, have you been calling any stores around here? Getting any appointments or holds?
That's why I haven't posted any date information. He seems extremely optimistic (and this guy is very pragmatic) that the end is in sight. He had zero info on why the update was "so frantic" either. I did fail to mention he was told it would only add 6-8 minutes per sale.
I really have no idea and apologize if I upset anyone. I had rather know though IF Thursday doesn't materialize that we aren't back to a guess when scenario (at least not as of this minute on the 13th). That is of course given his information being accurate. I know the man to be honest to a fault so he was told this.
I do get the impression from both this and prior VZW business with him that even managerial level employess for VZW are kind of like "mushrooms" (kept in the dark and fed manure).
