Hey guys, this is from P3Droid's Twitter, don't jump on any new moto updates!
P3Droid
Service Announcement: Don't take any moto updates the root path has been patched !!! You've been warned.
... Motorola wants businesses to buy their phones. I bought a phone with a freaking Tegra2 for freaking games and power. Not business. Besides, if they wanted to be business friendly they would have faster, better updates.
What The****
Moto there you go again.
I wish they would spend their time working on things that matter instead of this kind of crap. It'll eventually be root-able again but in the meantime, it's a pain in the ass.
From what I hear, Zergrush root method will root 2.3.5 devices.

true. but I wonder if any newer 2.3.5 leaks will have it patched.
I wonder if the forever root mod will hold up tho?
Motorola is pissin me off wit this junk for real
I am sure P3 would have tried Zergrush before he posted that.

Your right, if moto was putting their resources towards better development, they would have better/faster updates for all their devices. But they want to control how people use their devices

HTC doesn't look like they are going to be as user friendly for much longer. There is no permanent root for the Rezound yet.

Same here. Looks like my next phone will be the Samsung nexus prime. Unlocked and not Motorola!
I tried zr for 235 and it kept failing w/ win7 so I sbf'ed to 234 and used voodoo rootkeeper and it worked to keep root on the latest (1.3.413).

I installed roots keeper after reading another post. How do you restore your root with the app if you loose it? The app does not really say how to regain your root.

I'd jump ship too, but I'm already 6 months into the contract. I'd rather not spend the full price on a device. I'm sure some good brand new open device will be available in a year from now. Maybe the next nexus?
There is already a huge bug with the nexus that ****s with the volume. Apparently the shielding on the inside is bad. My Rezound is a solid phone, and after comparing it with a Galaxy Nexus, the Rezound is absolutely the better phone. I don't give a **** about NFC.

I hope u know that Verizon has locked down the bootloader on nexus.
hopefully it doesn't stay that way too long.

I don't have the issue. Not everyone is having it. Most people with that issue are having other issues like overheating.

Good Morning, and hang on to that DX2 folks: It will get an update and looks like its going to be 2.3.4 - no eta though.
Great news!!!
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Umm.. Not to pee on the parade or anything, but this is hardly earth shattering breaking news.. We KNOW its getting 2.3.4 from the Morotola post i put in the other day...
This is almost like "HEY, The Sun MAY come up tommorow"...
I say we don't make any more "Were getting GB" posts, until, well, we get GB
Just playin people (for those with a low sense of humor threshold)
All news is good news.

Completely true, however he has insider sources at Moto - according to popular rumor. This news made my day.
OS 2.3.4
The X2 will go from a good phone to GREAT!
This could be huge for us!!!
A few weeks ago he started talking about 2.3.4 for the Droid Charge and then released a leak for the charge that was GB 2.3.4 a few days after he had acquired a charge to test it on.
For those of you that dont know, a donated X2 is in the process of being sent to him.
Move to proper forum.
The end of the world is coming, but no ETA...
Where is the link to donate?
Great and stuff but unless I can still have this bloatware off, and it runs better without Supercharge Script I'm not updating right away.
Am I understanding correctly that we will lose root with the GB update?
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk
Without a doubt yes. Especially if all of the other OTA updates on other verizon phones held true to the same. I don't know if I'd rather lose root and get GB or wait until there is a confirmed root access.
I don't care if I lose root because it'll be back besides gingerbread is amazing

Gingerbread 2.3.4 on the Droid 3 is really something else. Got one for my girlfriend and the UI along with the animations are ultra crisp and super quick. I've always been against Blur, but after seeing the Droid 3- I really hope the DX2 grabs that same Blur with the update.
I am more looking forward to the speed and knowing we are finally going to be able to take full advantage of the hardware we were blessed with..

Right here apparently.
I have my phone rooted and a lot of bloat frozen with TBP so should I defrost those before doing the update and also undo root?
I'm new to android, so silly question, but if you upgrade to GB will your phone be factory reset / loose apk's / contacts / etc?
Or is it much like using the system only SBF?
Thanks

if you want to keep root id suggest you wait on the update till its prerooted other wise you will lose root for good untill an exploit is found in gb
Yes, but sbf can still be done to root again.
I'll bet GingerBreak works on it. I've rooted a dozen of phones all different makes and models and versions with that handy all in one program.

Every android device could be rooted, practically if you know mac, or linux its just typing su (super user, and i believe it might be sudo (superuser do)) does that answer the question, if not then yes
No word about MP3 or video recording issues, either that or I just read too fast and missed it
I think the OP's question was, can he update, or will he receive an update notice if his phone is rooted? I would like to know this as well.
Also, I am confused or not reading a clear answer, will this version be rootable? I think it is 2.3.3...Gingerbread.
I like root on my X2 too much to update right now if there is no root.
Thanks in advance for any clear answers and explanations.
I am so excited I am going to start my sbf now. If they are posting it on their website they have to be really close with it.

I'm about to do the same!
Gingerbreak used to work for rooting Gingerbread but they fixed the exploit in the latest versions. So right now there isn't any way to root. Your best bet is to wait for a custom rom to come out with Gingerbread pre-rooted.

As unfortunate as that may be (and it is really unfortunate) my CM7 work is going to be based on Moto's kernel because I have no choice in the matter atm. That being said, it only takes a few tweaks to make a new boot.img that can be flashed to the phone if and when we get an unlocked bootloader.

Which phone do you think they will crack first? More then likely the Bionic, besides, its a much better device.
Don't forget there will be even better choices on VZW than Bionic b4 in a month or 2

I am glad actually that I have until the end of November for my contract to be up. There are a few devices I am waiting on and I am keeping my fingers crossed for a ICS Nexus device by XMAS.
Just got an email, 2:48Est, for a new Soak test for the X2? What could this be?
Go for it and check it out and let us know. You can always sbf back. How do you get on their list?
nothing was on the servers thus far, btw

I signed up! I bet it is GB 2.3.5 or 2.3.6. With minor bug fixes...
Sent from my MB870 using XDA
I was thinking the same as litetaker. Moto and VZW just released some bug-fixes for the D2 and something else if I remember right. Probably the same with the X2. One thing I don't get is that they complain the LTE in the Tegra devices like the XOOM is what is holding up ICS since the WiFi version has it already. Basically the X2 is just a smaller XOOM and since it only has the CDMA portion why can't it run ICS. The Specs of my X2 are better than my Nexus S 4G and I have my ROM running 4.0.3 on that without issue. Being Tegra based they can't blame that unless there is something in the CDMA holding it up.
What rom are you running that is 4.0.3 on the x2???
Woot! Lets hope its a music fix finally... right guys? Right?
I signed up today as well... I am thinking the same thing... it has to be a bug fix update.
I can't see them getting ICS out this quickly considering it was only about a month ago when it was put on the 'might be considered list'.
Motorola might move that fast enough to get it done... but VZW is slow.
Where is people signing up at?

Thanks for the heads-up, I hadn't read about this issue until seeing your post. Motorola clearly hates their customer base, viewing them as sheep to callously monetize.
I don't mean to go all Richard Stallman here, but Moto can't be trusted--they let us know that with the locked bootloader. That said, the DX2 is my last device...and NO way will I be a part of this soak test.
Again, thanks for the heads up, cheers.

I'm also curious, what are people complaining about? I've had my screen on for the last 4 hours customizing, playing with and generally enjoying ICS. I've yet to experience any issues whatsoever...? Genuinely wondering what problems people are having? Why would they put the ICS release candidate on their staging/soak server if it was riddled with bugs?
Hummmm
Have you people really used ICS I think its horrible even if they do get it working on these phones it still sucks! Just make the battery last a month on one charge and connect to any wi-fi without having to log in, and make apps shut off when you exit out of them. That's all we want out of our phones right??? We can only dream about having phones that work right there will always be someone with an issue with their phone as long as we are getting phones that do all these great things!! Sorry my little rant i'm just done hearing everyone saying when is ICS coming to our phones!! Everyone knows when they do release it thousands will install and instantly start having issues so then another update and another it will never end! How many phones that are out work perfectly? I probably wont even update to ICS when it comes I like the way my phone works now and know where everything is! If you want ICS just install a different launcher done!!
Back in February, everyone was screaming for ICS on their Asus Transformer. Now, the majority of people wished they never got it because it has caused nothing but grief for many (not all) owners. (lockups, random reboots, and general instability).
