That's a good point...the experiences I've seen however have ranged from "its better" to "I think its better" to "no difference"
So to me that says it's clearing up some of the issues with the phones that were having them...and its status quo for those that were not having problems to begin with

FWIW, I SBF'd twice and both times still had the .12p radio when going back to .340. So, I used the file here: Dropbox - Public - Simplify your life (1st one listed) that reverts the radio back to .7p so that it can be updated from there. I couldn't get the above .7p file to work within GB but in Froyo, it's fine. It might be the cause of why some people are having trouble getting the new ROM to install properly.

I wonder if you can create a nandroid, sbf, update to 602 and in recovery restore just the 596 data to the new 602?
P3Droid said on twitter that you can recover the data from 596 to 602. I am SBFed out for tonight but I will try it tomorrow and see if it works. As far as getting it deodexed a vaguely remember Bo saying he would have a zip to deodex this build by tomorrow afternoon.
Ok, updated to 602 no problem. (Thanks to FradDroidX, Yawdapaah, and Bouchigo)
I backed up 602, then did an advanced restore of today's nandroid, chose data, got no errors, but when I reboot, nothing's changed.
What am I missing?
EDIT... just realized my most recent backup would have been 602. That's not going to work.
Restoring data from today's 596 backup now.

Because I am like talking to a stump, Let me see if I have this right. I am on TBH .596 Deodexed/rooted GB I have to (through TBH App) Download the .340 AIO and the .602 AIO, then go to CWM and flash .340 then flash .602 (without leaving CWM) and all should be good??????

According to Verizon the bug fix build is 4.5.602 and P3Ddroid's leak is 4.5.602 as well. What is different between the two builds?

P3's build is the same, but it comes pre-rooted (as the official OTA Gingerbread has not been rooted).
However, I've also seen mention that P3's build was ultimately rejected by VZW and there were some minor tweaks made. I've also seen reference to another update coming yet, and this is only the radio fix.
So I guess I really didn't answer your question.

It would be really, really surprising to have two builds with the same version number differ in any way.
As someone who works for an R&D organization that builds software for our own proprietary embedded devices (so, very similar setup to what Moto has to accomplish), versioning is everything. Internally, we might have multiple builds of the same version, but if it got as far as submission to VZW, it's almost certain to be considered a "final" build of the version and subsequent changes will be made with a new version number.

While I appreciate your reply, I am aware of what P3's build is. It appears that in Wally's post he knows that P3's build is not the same as the official release. Since the official build is the same build number as the leaked build I was curious as to what different between the two.

This is from Droid Life.
The 11MB update for your DROIDX that should fix a bundle of bugs that were introduced through Gingerbread, is now available for all users. Head into Settings>About phone>System updates to grab it! The new build will take your phone to Blur version 4.5.602.
How come there is such a difference in size but it is the same ver. number? and I wonder if you update over the 596 rooted from TBH will you loose root. I checked and it is not available for me yet.

None that I am aware of but I read Wally's post as the leak is only an updated radio an not bug fixes. As the official build is the same exact build number as the leak and obviously has some bug fixes Wally must then know the difference between the two builds.

The reason the leak is so large is it's the entire build. In order to gain root P3 needs to root the entire build on his dev device which is not encumbered by the limits of the retail device. As the official build is completely stock on most devices ( not rooted etc.) It only needs the be a small update over top of the .596 build.

What doesn't make sense to me is why the Froyo->.596 requires a two-part install, but the Froyo->.602 can be done as a single install.

He probably just figured out how to package it up as a single install. I looked at the two-part install and I was never convinced it couldn't be done as a single package, but had no evidence for that other than just analyzing how the install process worked.

He figured it out some time ago. There are All-in-One zips from:
xxx => 596
xxx = > CM7 Build 0
