Cricket finally went ota with 2.2
http://www.mycricket.com/ZIO
Can someone confirm that ota is identical to the leaked upgrade?
I'm at work so I can't compare myself.

I will be doing a factory reset before trying to update with the OTA. Website says about 30 to 60 minutes. We'll see if anything is different with the "official" release.

Finally, now maybe some of these "man, Cricket ripped us off dude!" people will shut the hell up.

I have the zclusive update. The kyocera updater says no update available. No further information is given. Anyone have any ideas on downgrading. As I heard it, there isn't a dump of 1.6. Factory reset doesn't erase system software. Correct me if I'm wrong...

I have tried to run the update after a factory reset, well I was not able to download the OTA it just checks the version and says no update.
I noticed after factory resetting I could no longer download apps from the market. I ended up formatting my SD card and then running the updater again. So with that being said if yilou have already updated the OTA will not be available, and also confirms that the leak is the official update.

I'm interested in finding out if the ota has swype and the 3g bar graph.
Could someone who's done the upgrade ota report findings please ?

Also, if there are any changes that cricket made independently of the leaked update, all we'd need to do is get the ota system image and flash that to our phones

As far as I can see they are the same. The kernel, and build versions are the same. (I borrowed this guy's at school who did OTA today.) Everythings else looks the same, no swype, same 3g.

Can you dump his system,boot and recovery image by chance? I'd like to take a look
Edit *
Use mkfs.yaffs2 for system and recovery and dump_image for boot.

Superoneclick works alright. I've heard it doesn't root official KB1 yet. I could be wrong Cuz I think the official KB1 is garbage. If you want KB1 then flash cognition.
Sent from my Captivate using XDA Premium

No, I've heard that SuperOneClick is pretty much the "only" way it'll root the official 2.2 KB1.

Ok, I upgraded with kies, and got kb1( uckb1), and I rooted with superoneclick (1.7). No problem at all, but I did use a computer running windows 7.
About ji6. There is now an Odin for UCJI6 (i think it is one click, but not sure). I found the link somewhere in the forum,i don't have it handy.
If I find link, will post.

Yeap, you should be fine to use any of these ODIN files.
2.1 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SBSMALFJ
2.2 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QL6NX702
If you need instructions, just yell again
I would probably recommend the 2.2 one (if you're not going to flash any custom ROMs).
If you are thinking of custom ROMs, then I recommend going to 2.1.

Many thanks to Venomio for these links. He supplied them to me in the course of another problem I had.

Hah funny story
so here is a funny story,
so I flashed using odin back to jf6 and then used kies mini to get to kb1, but halfway through the upgrading process the kies mini force closed and my phone was semi-bricked. I sent it into samsung. it came back, same cosmetic wear, ENTIRE inside of the phone was replaced

Wow. What build number is your Cappy now then?

They sent me one with kb1

Q would updating my zio 1.6 to 2.2 unbrick my zio phone?

[Q] would updating my zio 1.6 to 2.2 unbrick my zio phone?
I've recently tried rooting my zio but not knowing what I was doing I ended up brickIng my phone. now it'll only go as far as the cricket logo. been looking everywhere to how to solve this problem.
btw this happened before the upgrade release now I feel worse for my mistake.

Take it to a cricket store and they can fix it for you. Probably even update it for you.

You tried rooting and did exactly what to brick it? Sounds to me that you need to fix it your self.

Try the tethered update. If your phones bricked, you got nothing to lose.

D3 Clockwork Recovery on the way!

I just saw this! Follow @P3Droid on twitter for any updates! My guess by Friday Clockwork will be up!
Good afternoon everyone. According to a reliable source we have just been informed that the Motorola Droid 3 now has a fully functioning recovery. This is great news for those that want to have the flexibility that CWR brings to the Android line of devices. Currently we don't have the specifics regarding the method of installation but according to P3 more information will follow soon..
I know there are a lot of excited D3 owners and Devs out there hearing this. I also hope this means we'll see the X2 and the Bionic to Follow. Let the Backups and Flashing begin.

For real? That'd be epic and amazing!

Wow that's humongous!

does that mean people who update the leaked OTA on to their phone could potentially flash back to original stock?

Yummy.

I actually dont like some things the OTA has done and would rather have a bit of a blue tint than some other stuff.

Not really caring about roms. My main concern, right now, is if someone backs a backup of the bone stock pre OTA phone, with clockwork recovery, will i be able to install it on to my phone?

I think the best part of this so far is that nandroid is working (ie: backups can be made & flashed w/o the hassles of using RSDLite and waiting for SBFs). Great news! One step closer to Cyanogen.

I believe its possible, but not practicle or easy. You have to change a bunch of stuff to the backup and then I'm pretty sure you have issues with the esn and stuff, but I could be wrong. I remember it being discussed once, but that was many months ago.

There are still ways to get CM7 running on the Blur kernel. And overclock it with modular overclocking.
I hope to see this phone at 1.5 ghz someday. But what I really want is a stock themed debloated rom. Recovery means we're about have roms, so I can't wait!

Basically what it means is that you can install any rom made for the droid 3. Different "cooks/chefs" (people who cook or make roms) will make roms ranging from stock 2.3.4 (sans blur) to modified "improved" 2.3.4 stock droid rom to new versions that have leaked like the upcoming Ice-cream os and maybe even Jelly Bean.
Truly unicorns here. I remember when I had the D1 the battery life was barely better than what we have now. Liquid cooked up a rom that gave me a 2 day battery life with heavy use.
Not to mention hotstpotting and other cool things. I doubt getting past or fooling the Efuse is too difficult after the unlocked bootloader.

Look at how far development has come on the Milestone despite its locked bootloader; granted, it's been almost 2 years since that phone came out but it certainly is possible to squeeze way more performance out of these bad boys than is possible with their stock representation!
Can't wait to see what happens in the next few months!

Quick question

I decided to start using my old revolution as a backup phone. It is basically a brand new refurbished replacement they sent me a while back that I've never used. When I go to update it to gingerbread it says that there isn't an update available. I'm just wondering if Verizon pulled the update when they ended its life and is there any way I can still root it and and install a gingerbread rom on it without first updating to gingerbread? Any help would be appreciated.

Just go into about phone and make sure. It may have come updated from the shop. Then check this link:

You need to be on gingerbread to install a gingerbread ROM or you'll brick your phone, it's a complete pain in the ass to fix so I wouldn't try it. There are instructions to manually update to gb in the dev section if you have access to a pc...
