WARNING: DO NOT FLASH THIS ON ANY PHONE
IT CONTAINS A NEW BOOTLOADER THAT WILL HARD BRICK YOU AND NOT FEEL GUILTY
All of the credit belongs to devs. Samcripp for setting up Project Cheesecake, the effort to find as many international builds as possible located on cloud servers. Navalynt for cloud test CWM mod. Tenfar for CWM bootstrap. Nate_benji for retrieving the update and uploading it for development purposes.

SUCCESS
I have in my position a full OTA update. This has Bell GB, but no unlock and it also has the new dreaded ap20 BL, thats been hard bricking ATT phones when people try to sbf to older builds.

This is what we know so far about the build. I'm making this thread only to supply the link for the update so that hopefully we can start figuring out how we can use it (if at all). 2nd-init is a possibility, and sifting through the folders might yield to some breakthroughs.
Before I supply the link I want to remind everyone not to flash this on their phone.
Link:
Nate_benji's Megaupload
Multiupload link
Folders in root:
META-INF
patch
preinstall
recovery
system
webtop
ap20bl.img
bp.img
cdrom
cdt.bin
logo.bin
metadata.gpb
Looking forward to see if we can get anything from this, and lastly, thanks again to the devs.

You guys realize you can simply use the files to create an update-zip that takes out Motorola's assert checks and bootloader flash?
Very good news!
EDIT: Oops... I forgot that you don't have an unlocked bootloader to work with. It should be a bit more difficult then.
Would it be possible to re-package it with our current bootloader? I imagine this already would have been tried with other updates if it was possible.

I can't say for sure but what would be great is if we could manufacture a "fruitcake" like package that would leave our BL alone. But once again, we don't have an sbf to fall back to, so we'd need to backup all of our partitions.

I highly suggest you don't download anything since you clearly didnt read the post
The most important part is that you shouldnt be flashing anything, also, its an OTA
Ok what about this nv flash where you have to have the special cable? Would it be possible for non at&t ATRIX phones to use that method to flash our unlockable bootloader then use the the files from the rom you now have and make a fruit cake? Just theory I don't think I've read of anyone doing nv flash.

You can just replace some of the files, the rest need to be patched which will be a pain.
Can a dev who has installed this please post some screenshots? I'd love to see how the Bell version of Gingerbread looks!

No one has installed this, because it contains the new ap20bl.
I'm pretty sure we'll have a bell-version 2nd-init soon though.

Hi,
Is this the latest Bell GB build?
Can't you just use CWM and edit out the bits in updater that reference ap20bl? And delete ap20bl.img as well of course.
Is there a better boot loader out there that fixes the ram issue? Maybe a swap in would be a better idea.
This OTA is a patch so you will have to be on Bell's 37.23. I backed up all my .23 partitions if anyone needs them. I was able to get back to .23 without unlocked boot header from ORGB using edited French 2.1.1, just removed all fs code groups basically. Fuse still the same though (cat /sys/firmware/fuse/ReservedOdm=20002000200004000) .
Cheers!

Hey folks,
Many thanks to the unrevoked team for all the help they have done to move this community along, and for the toys they have provided us. Please DO NOT give me any credit for these.
Below you will find a link of the radios I am hosting. I take no credit for them, NOR DO I SUPPORT THEM. These are all at your own risk, and are provided without warranty, and any damage that comes from them, is your own fault. Using any of these voids your warranty.

Good luck, and have fun.
finally, thanks for posting
LOL let the bricking begin Adrynalyne . I am sure we will be seeing people in the IRC about this. Some advice people if ya don't know what you're doing you should probably think twice about flashing one of these. But thanks Zule for the radios and Adrynalyne for uploading them and posting them

I'm not being a smart ass folks.
LOL.
Thats truly all the info I have. Its a legit radio.
All I know is:
radio changes are in AMSS, DSP is identical, mibib is identical, osbl changed (yikes!) and osbl2 changed (most likely to reflect the osbl)
Those could all just be demonstrating a change to the chain of trust signatures. Actually changes are unknown, this is just a guess but if could just be a recompile for some unknown reason.
Breaking it down further will require more time then I care to put into it...

This may work with the modified safestrap 1.08f as it allows you to flash to the non-safe system. Just a thought.

You could verify whether the unpatch works, & if it does you could repatch. I highly doubt it will work though.
Safestrap won't perform this update properly because it doesn't have the motorola.update_nv() function in its updater handling; however, it wouldn't be very hard to incorporate. (If you extract the updater-script from this .zip file and open it up in a text editor, you'll see what I mean.)
I'm hoping to bust out another release fixing a few more bugs, I'll see if I can squeeze this in there too. I don't have an XT862 to test this on unfortunately but any guinea pigs who want to help me test it out are more than welcome to PM me.

I think he posted this as an idea, since it worked on another device, without verifying it worked on the Droid 3, then prematurely posted it to the other threads telling folks the other methods were not needed. There are at least two confirmed instances where it does not work on the Droid 3.
I am sticking with the radiocomm method.

I agree, higher numbers = win. I would just copy libmoto_ril.so, my apns-conf.xml and build.prop from my original rom, boot and see what happens and then if I didn't have data/phone I would swap back my original files, wipe data/cache and boot and see what happened, hopefully you would have a fully working bell 2.3.6 on your vzw phone. Let us know.

i dont see how you will brick your device beyond repair... we've been switching these libs since the beginning with no negative effects and if something does go wrong(the only thing that could possibly happen is a temporary bootloop, until you reflash the sbf) you just use rsd and reflash the bell sbf to have a fully working phone again. If you need more help, need to know which libs, where to put the or permissions etc, anyone can help you, feel free to ask if you decide top give it a try though I think I already posted instructions in a few other threads. I'll look around and update the OP if I find them
tried your bell 2.3.6 rom with libmoto_ril.so and build.prop from 906; persistent "com.motorola.phone has stopped working" error.

A stock rooted ROM

This may not be for you...
This ROM is for someone...
Who wants to tinker and build there own personal ROM from the stock base.
Another developer that may not have the ability to get a stock base (Like me, I only have the AT&T phone)
When you hose your phone trying to "modify" things because you "read it on the internet" somewhere you can then use this ROM to get your anus out of trouble.
You flash someone else ROM and realize its not what you were expecting, you didn't make nandroid back up, and your rebooting every time you try to make a phone call. This ROM would come in real handy

you say must be on latest OTA, what happens if we flash this on non OTA?
Scott,
In the OP you say we need to be on the latest OTA?
I had flashed TWRP and have not been able to get the OTA.
I was surprised when I read we needed to be on the latest OTA to flash your ROM.
I have been holding off getting the OTA because I figured I would just flash a ROM to get the on the latest OTA is there a reason we need to be on it to flash your ROM?
Do you happen to have a Stock Recovery IMG and I get in order to get the OTA if I am going to need the OTA I will have to get it through stock recovery

Because its built from the OTA and I didn't include a boot image. I don't have the phone so I didn't want to risk bricking someone else's trying to flash a boot image.
In all reality it will prolly be 100% fine on the non OTA but I cannot say for sure... Havent tried it.
So nandroid, flash and report results and all questions will be answered.

I've obtained the v1 official MM soak test for xt1540 US 16gb/2gb variant. I've had the links posted elsewhere here for a couple days, but I wanted to give this better exposure so more devs can make use of it.
I WILL NOT SHARE THE SIGNED OTA PUBLICLY, SO DO NOT ASK!!
ANY KNOWN MOTO G DEVELOPERS WHO CAN MAKE USE OF IT, PLEASE PM ME!
v2 fixes storage mounting. To get it working you must enable developer options, scroll to select usb configuration, then select mtp. Even if MTP is already selected, you still have to check it again. As soon as you click it your device's storage will automatically remount and the files will be visible from your computer.
v3 enables storage mounting switch via the notification shade. Click the "USB for_____" notification to switch.

@hp420 thank you and would you know if theres any more differences between the xt1540 and xt1541 other than the radio?

I can't think of any reason there would be any other difference. I honestly think that is the only difference at all among any of the variants, which would explain why roms are universal. The radio isn't flashed with an aosp rom, so you're not changing one of the few things that define that variant.
I would bet even the bootloader and all are identical, 100%.
This is how Nexus devices are, and we basically have that, with the one exception of Moto's sparsechunk system images, which are just a split standard system.img....and that's what I've posted above...so, in theory, a diligent user who knows a little bit about this kind of stuff could split that system.img posted above into sparsechunks set to our default maximum sparsechunk size (which is somewhere around 260mb, I believe) and have a working factory image. All you would have to do is replace the radio with each region's own proper radio and it would be universal.
I'm no expert, so I can't guarantee...I'm only theorizing based on my experience as a Nexus tinkerer for many many years. But if you are comfortable with this stuff and want to give it a shot I do have some resources I dug up a few days ago before I sort of chickened out and stopped before I got myself into a situation I didn't know how to get out of.
I've had a chat with the tester last night and v2 should be on its way soon. I just wanted to let you guys know so you can plan your work accordingly. I should have it dumped and uploaded by Wednesday.

I was thinking of maybe flashing the system.img, not through fastboot, but using the command dd if=sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p(whatever) then hopefully i can test it then and report back to you, at least if it works that way then we have some sort of means of installing it

I guess that should work. That's exactly how I dumped it...just reversed It never occurred to me I could go the other way with it, for some reason. Please keep me posted on your results...I'm very interested in this!!

You're very welcome, bud!! I'm glad to be able to spark some good movement in our development!!
I miss the fast paced Nexus forums so much. I still have my N4, but there isn't as much activity as there once was. This is basically a Nexus, for all intents and purposes, so maybe we can get a few more of those great devs to build for us if we can show them that there's movement happening here.
@hp420, I got it to work and I have made a TWRP backup made of the ROM if you would like it

Feel free to upload it and post it if you'd like
To the best of my knowledge, the leaker doesn't mind anything resulting from this being posted, as long as the original signed OTA isn't shared publicly, and I'm the only one in possession of that. So everyone may feel free to use anything I've posted here for any project...just please remember to say thanks! Without our friend, none of these files would be available.
Also, in the interest of open information, this is the post I spoke of earlier to split a system.img into sparse chunks, usable by fastboot. The app does run for me using wine on debian 8 jessie, if anyone is interested in that.

+1 if uploaded! ( I know it can be a bit huge so you may reconsider. ) either way, today has been a crazy busy day I'm just glad to finally be able to sit down and see you guys are progressing amazingly!
I'm getting the second release now. I have some time to work on it tonight, so I'll have the dumps up a little later
Soak test v2 is uploaded and added to the OP. The only thing we don't have dumped is the updated modem.img. We're working on that but I don't have the signed ota for this one, so this part is out of my hands.

I think I will be better off getting a TWRP backup of this soak test and just leaving the TWRP backup of the first soak test because I was playing around with the backup and I corrupted the files , but Ill get this new backup to you asap
OP updated for soak test v3
I also posted v2 a while back...forgot to post here to update everyone on that info, sorry
All v5 stuff is posted in the OP
