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

[DroidJW]

So based on P3's initial review, those on the GB leak will not be pushed the update?

 

[ECFfighter7232]

I would think deleting any file in the /system/app should do the trick

I would rename it and move it to another place, like my SD Card, just to be safe

smart move

According to a recent Tweet, the new version will not install unless you are on complete stock 2.3.340. If you have installed any ROM or have updated to GB, it won't install.

I checked and there is no update for me. I'm on leaked gb.

 

[bouchigo]

please let me know what you get if you do!

It didn't work it must require other files, or some sort of activation.

Yeah P3 said you had to be completely stock .340 for this to work.

ahhhhh crap.... I got my hopes all up too! lol

 

[NoShineMM]

Im completly stock. No root. .340 and mine says up to date. I understand it may not be available to me yet. I was just trying to keep with the post.

 

[woodstorm]

Anyone else claiming to have gotten this OTA?

Well I sbf'ed back to stock, took the large zip file and renamed it to update.zip, put it on the sdcard, and booted into recovery mode. I chose the upgrade from sdcard/update.zip and just booted the phone no problem.

System Version 4.5.588.MB810
Android Version 2.3.3
Baseband Version BP_C_01.09.12P
Build Number 4.5.1_57_DX5-18
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9

Just went to Settings>About Phone>System Upates and got an alert that a Motorola account required, would I like to setup an account.

Strange

Depending on which ROM or leak you have installed you may get this message.

WHAT?! I didnt/dont think its supposed to work that way... are you infact on gingerbread now?

Yes I am... Those version numbers I got out of my phone. Looks the same as the leaked one jsut newer version numbers.

I tired to move the two files into the cache directory. The phone kept deleting the .zip file on its own. I said screw this... renamed the zip file to "update.zip" and put it in the sdcard's root directory. Booted into recovery and did the update manually.

Went through without errors.

What bootloader version are you on now?

 

[cultldr]

Just sbf'd back to stock .340 , no updates available, just fyi

Why yes of course, this is the same old song & dance we're all used to right? Have they rolled out an update yet that didn't require you to be completely stock? I had already anticipated having to flash back to my stock .340 before being able to update to stock GB.

But I'm going to let the bread cool for a while before I try a slice. The leak is serving me well, honestly if I never updated this device again I'd be just fine. The most engaging prospect on this new gb seems to be Netflix. But if Netflix is now available for our beloved DX, couldn't we get it from the market? If not I'm sure someone will make an .apk out of it shortly.

I really have no interest in updating to this kernel until they get Z4Root working on it.

Not entirely sure how to see that.

Having an issue atm getting back into the recovery menu to do a phone wipe. Phone boots fine though/gets and receives calls...

New way to get into recovery on gb. Home+power then both volume buttons. Try that.

That's the same kernel I'm on with the leak. Which means porting netflix over shouldn't be a problem at all.

That did it, thanks.

Edit: and the power button in the new "Ok" button as the camera was before.

Glad to help. Now the burning question, is Netflix there and useable?

This is really no surprise, and should have been expected; same thing happened with froyo, and the update before that if I'm not mistaken.
