Can i get the OTA over wifi?

[aaronstrong]

With my X not being on my Verizon plan anymore. Is there any way to get the OTA through wifi? Or do i need to be on their network?

ok

ok

well you didn't really expect them to support a device you're no longer paying them to use right?

OP, there's still a chance you can get it though. Back when I had my OG Droid, I remember during one of the (several) updates to Eclair, the update.zip file was posted on this site (and likely others). All it took was downloading and running from your SD card. I'm hard pressed to picture this update being any different, so I wouldn't worry.... assuming you're stock, that is.

For the stock, OTA update.zip, or a rooted, leaked one?

Guys,

I think that even a wi-fi only phone will get an OTA update.

Back in March, the Eris got a very unexpected OTA update and we were trying to capture it. My Eris had been deactivated (wi-fi only) since the DX launch day (July 15th) and I joined-in on the OTA capture festivities.

Now, I never did capture it for the Eris folks since it was captured before I ever received the OTA (a seemingly very random process), but some very knowledgeable folks knew that the DX was my main phone and that the Eris was wi-fi only. I'd be happy to do a test of returning my Eris back to an earlier stock state and see if it indeed does (eventually get the OTA), but I'm pretty sure it will. Lemme know if you really want confirmation.

Cheers!

You will eventually get it on wifi. My original Droid was off of the network for several months and it would get the OS updates, but it did seem to be a bit later than the mainstream updates.
