I am on 901 though, I wonder if it will not let me update?

901 too do we have to use pathsaver and go back to 893??

So much for Moto supporting the people that got 901 pushed to them by accident. Gonna have to pathsaver it up tonight I guess. No more installing leaks for me again.

whether or not .901 has taken you off the upgrade path or not has yet to be verified. As far as I can tell anyone on .901 that is a part of the soak test being conducted currently has not posted with a firm yes or no.
When it gets pushed OTA to everyone else is when we will know for sure.

We have no idea if there's going to be an update for the people who OFFICIALLY got 901 pushed to them or not. I wouldn't panic just yet. We're only seeing this being pushed out to soak testers right now. Once it gets pushed out officially it's entirely possible we'll see the 901 users getting their own update. The soak testers are getting the 893->902 update so that's all we currently know about.
EDIT: Darca ninja'd me.

I think it's official and not a soak test. Verizon has it listed on their page. Here is the link http://support.verizonwireless.com/pdf/system_update/droid_bionic.pdf

Not according to those that got the soak test email. One person was saying that they got the email and 5 minutes later they got the update notification on their phone. Just because VZW pushes out the release notes does not invalidate a soak test. A soak test is just that...the first batch of users to get the update pushed to them to see if there are any issues. It's not just testing the update, it's testing the update process itself with a few thousand users to see how smooth it is. If no major issues are reported in a few days, it starts going out in batches to the wider audience.

What happened to the update?

So a few days ago we heard about 902 being potentially soak tested and since then deafening silence. Anyone know what's going on with the latest update not getting pushed out?

SamuriHL,
Unfortunately I noticed in a posting on the Motorola Forums,
Matt says it is all a rumor:
"What the heck are you talking about? Why would we do this?
Guys, this is all just rumor. You know the soak tests have credibility when they post my confidential emails on the tech sites, right?"
https://forums.motorola.com/posts/40cc13fd3f?post=40cc13fd3f&start=91
So, I think this was all a rumor started by DL - which stinks - really looking forward to an update - at least an official version of .901 even if it was called .902.
Appreciate the info. I was travelling for work last week so I thought I might have missed something. Good to know. But it does seem odd there's no update yet.

I agree. They could be working on something but maybe do not have enough together to call it an "update" that will be pushed to "testers". Who really knows with Motorola and VZW anymore - would be nice to know whether they are truly standing behind the .901 update they accidentally pushed out to some (will support it and upgrade it to the next version whenever another update does come out) .
Definitely a valid question. I've had next to 0 problems with the 901 rom myself. I was on vacation in a 4G area for a week....battery rocked, stable communication. I was travelling for work last week and in 4G for 4 days. Same experience. If they have something better, great, but, I AM happy with the Bionic right now. Of course, I'd love to see ICS on it. I've been loving ICS on my Xoom. But I don't expect we'll see an ICS update for the Bionic before May or June IMO.

Yes, but remember that MOTO/VZW NEVER released that OTA to the general public.
Most people with a Bionic are still suffering with that first crappy OTA that was pushed.
Post that push, the silence has definitely been deafening.

Yup, I completely agree. That's why I'm confused that there hasn't been an update by now. 901 got accidentally pushed to a bunch of users OTA and that's how a lot of us got it. One would think, since the majority of the feedback from those who have it has been overwhelmingly positive, that they'd want to get that update out there. Even if it's not perfect, it's miles better than the 5.5.893 release that was pushed out. VZW needs to work on optimizing their testing procedures IMO. This is exactly why I fear we won't see an ICS update until May or June or even possibly later. Moto could finish it by March, but, if it has to go through 8+ weeks of VZW testing before they start to push it out, well, that's not good.
just got off with motorola chat support:
brett: i have heard conflicting reports regarding bionic software version 5.5.893, 5.9.901 and 5.9.902...which is the latest, official version to be running
Andrew: The one with the 901 on it, there's no 902.
brett: 5.9.901 is the latest official version
Andrew: Yes, that is correct.
brett: i have 5.5.893 and when i check for updates it states there are none available
Andrew: The 901 is still in the process. Not yet complete. Can you give me your phone number we will keep you posted if we have all the information in the system.
brett: so 901 is the latest official version but has not been released to the public officially?
brett: so i am correct and up to date in having 5.5.893 installed?
Andrew: Yes, you have the up to date software, I will check when will be the full deployment of the 901 so that we can let you know, also give me the MEID# of the phone.
brett: you will check now and let me know now?
Andrew: I will need to forward the report of yours, sorry I don't have the information here in the system, we will check back with you about it, is this your good email address here as well?
Good deflection. Never give anything to the man.
On Topic: Good news for people who updated to .901. Your probably not off the upgrade path!
I wasn't worried. I just want to know when the darn thing's going to be released officially.
so even though 901 is still the official build they are testing, maybe the 901 that they will release will not be the same as what was discovered via the cheesecake servers. with all this time to test and modify, features may have been added or removed. maybe the features of the "902" update will be merged with the 901 that is currently in circulation. those on 901 now may very well have to downgrade to 5.5.893 to accept the new and improved 901!
also having shown that 901 is still the current official build in testing, it is interesting to note that Blur_Version.5.9.901.XT875.Verizon.en.US.zip has been found on the cheesecake servers, but fails to install once downloaded - whether you are on 893 or 901. the filename suggests an update form 901 not going to 901 based on how these update files are named.
The version of 901 I'm using did NOT come from the cheesecake server. It was captured from an ota push.

Source? The rest of us got it from an OTA that was shared around.

look at post #12 by connor3485 for the mediafire link to the Blur_Version.5.5.901.XT875.Verizon.en.US.zip file.
and i stand corrected, 901 was in fact an accidental OTA push to some and not a cheesecake find - i am wrong in stating it was "cheesecaked"....but then how are they still "testing" 901? it was accidentally pushed a while ago...but still, could modifications still be made to it, so much that the version that might be eventually released "officially", be different from the version that was accidentally pushed?

Moto has stated *from what I've read* that .901 will be the official update. It was just accidentally leaked before it was suppose to be released OTA.
Soak Test email invitation!
I was sent an email today asking me if I wanted to be a part of the Droid Bionic Soak Test, 2/5/2012. Part of the questionnaire asks if you have modified your phone/rooted it and you have to agree to return it back to stock in order to participate. I'm traveling this week and will not be able to mess with my phone to return it to stock, so I decided not to participate. Does anyone know if If I should have just told them that I would revert back to stock and try the update anyways? I wish I could have participated.
Hope you guys get a chance!
Droid Bionic, stock-rooted, forever root .893

Do you think that an update is coming?

We've had leaked versions from Motorola's staging servers since February, and Motorola sent out an invite to potential soak testers in March (which they have not yet acted on).
I don't really expect much out of an update other than kernel and radio updates (I get everything else from the awesome ROMs by our devs), but I'd still like to see something come out!!
So, with that in mind, please feel free to rant and speculate below.
I wouldn't be surprised with nothing coming in the future.
Because Motorola is a whore.
I've seen a couple of posts on various forums with peole receiving replacement or new Droid 3s that already have the 906 update installed. It's possible they've just decided to skip the soak test and are planning to push the update soon. Of couse this is entirely just speculation.

My brother's replacement he got last week came with 890. Was kinda of happy about that since there's not way back from 906 last time i checked.
D2 and D4 Received Updates This Week
DroidForums.net reported on their Twitter feed that updates for the Droid 2 and Droid 4 rolled out on Monday and Wednesday, respectively. Hopefully we'll see something soon for our phone!
I hadn't seen that (but then again, I don't do much twitter so no surprise I guess
I am really considering just installing the 906 update anyway, but if this is coming soon I'd rather the official update.

Are there really NEW new Droid 3's out there with .906? I can understand a refurb coming with it (due to some flaw in the refurb process where Moto forgets to do a true factory reset on a user-updated device). It's all speculative as you say, but that would be a good sign...
No

6.7.244 ics

And another one leaks. Same deal as 242...Security doesn't allow downgrade to 905 yada blah blah. This is getting old now. We've been on ics leaks since June and no ota in sight. House of Bionic has support for 244 for those who've already jumped to 235+. Those on 232 should continue to wait. At this point those on 232 are pretty much getting as much use out of it as they did 905. Maybe even more so. Lol.

I think at this rate those of us on the Bionic will see Key Lime Pie out on the Nexus before we see ICS.
It's certainly getting to that point. If this build gets rejected then it's going to be October before we have any hope of seeing ota. Ugh!
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk 2
I am not that certain the Bionic will see ICS officially. Maybe there will declare it at EOL and quit.
Reason #2 why I will never, never, never buy another Moto device of any sort. This is totally absurd.
Has nothing to do with Moto. This is 100% on VZW. Moto has put out _9_ builds that VZW has rejected. *9*! That's unheard of. The ONLY issue left to fix is the stupid flash thing which NO moto ICS build works properly with. It's ridiculous but it's not Moto's fault.

In the future, Motorola will be offering developer editions of their phones so that is my reason for continuing to remain with them, along with the quality of build typically being superior to the other companies (I say typical, as in not being 100% but for the most part).
With them releasing developer editions, this shouldn't be a problem anymore because it basically will turn all of their future devices into nexus's as far as being able to develop for.

And let's not forget the most important aspect. Right in the middle of our ICS update being developed, Google went in and cleaned house at Moto. You can't deny that Moto is going to be a very different company moving forward with Google now owning them and installing an ex-Google ceo as the new Moto ceo. We're already starting to see massive changes and I for one think it's going to get a lot better. I'm on board with a new dev device from Moto as soon as they release the one I want. Samsung lost that bet with me back in July. The Samsung unicorn never materialized. Moto already has the devices up on the unlock page so we're not talking unicorns here. The RAZR M dev phone is up for preorder and I think coming this week. So, let's forget about the old Moto run by an idiot and focus on what direction Google is pointing the ship now.
I agree. I watched their press conference on YouTube and they definitely seemed like a new company. They specifically mentioned people wanting to tinker with their phones and changing things. It's been no secret that google follows the development community, especially considering some of the newer features of android were originally developed by the root community back in the old days of android (2009-2010).
On a side note, did anyone read about how nobody who works at apple actually uses SIRI (at least none of their developers). I found it amusing since I've seen the apple fanboys brag about SIRI. I think google and Android manufacturers should look into suing apple over some of the things they took from Android, such as voice search and folders. If you ask a fanboy, I'm sure they would tell you that android stole those from apple as well, even if we did have them first.

Share a link... I'd love to read about that bit of news.
A curiosity about this release... Some folks (including myself) found out that tethering was borked, even with FoxFi, after a certain leak release version. I'm not sure which one but I know tethering wasn't working for me on .232 and it doesn't work on my install of Liquid ICS 1.5 ROM, but I started from scratch and put .223 back into my non-safe side and FoxFi worked. Any idea if .244 still blocks tethering?
The obvious answer would be "yes" if we follow the logic that some version after .223 blocked it, but I just wanted to make sure
FoxFi hasn't stopped working for me in any of the builds. Still kicking for me in 244, as well.
Its in the article on USA today about a former executive talking about the siri commercials detracting from the product. I believe it made other news outlets also. I'll see if I can find a link.

I agree, this is 100% VZW. My Motorola Xoom tablet received Android 4.1 back in July, because they did not have to go through VZW to release to the field. The XOOM and Bioinc run the exact same processor.

Actually they don't. The Bionic uses an OMAP 4400. Nonetheless, VZW is what's holding up the OTA. Moto has done everything they can do to try to please them. I mean, how do you fix a problem with a plugin that's never going to get another update by the people who made it? It's clear that Adobe would have to fix it on their end not on Moto's. So it's just stupid.

I value your opinion SamuriHL so let me ask you this. Is VZW's delay why you have chosen to go down the can never go back path (.235-.244)? I've been sitting idle at .232 and I'm ready to move on. Now with the news that we will get JB OTA at some point should I just wait another month for the ICS OTA or do what you have done down the leaked path. Do you think we'll get JB leaks too? I don't mind making the jump but I have to live with this phone for at least another 14 months and honestly i don't think I'll need to upgrade when the time comes. I'm pretty darn content with the Bionic. I just don't want to go down this road to end up at a dead end. Can we keep going forward?

I can't give you any guarantees. Please understand that point as it's VERY important to what I say next.
I chose to originally go to the 235+ path because at the time I THOUGHT I was within a couple weeks of getting a new Samsung S3 Developer phone (what I now call the Samsung unicorn). However, I also wrote the House of Bionic and knew that I could keep moving forward as new leaks came out. Little did I know there'd be so many to test my code on. LOL! The HoB is pretty rock solid at this point....literally being "tested" by hundreds of users. But the warning about 235+ holds...we can't go back to any builds pre-235. That includes 905 which is a very big deal since all ICS updates ONLY update 905. The HoB will flash what parts of 905 it can (system, preinstall, webtop) and then the boot img of the update you're trying to install which allows us to move forward. And in fact allows us to move down, as well. Just no further down than 235. I bring that up for a reason. A lot of us have gone to 244 and we like it. A lot. But should VZW decide to OTA 242, as an example, those of us that have moved forward would be screwed without the ability to move back to 242 to get back on the OTA path. The HoB can do that for us. So I'm not personally concerned with my own phone getting back to the OTA path. Once we get a new ICS FXZ we'll be fine regardless. My warnings are for people that haven't been as blessed as I have to learn from some of the best people in our community. I like to make sure that others have options. Which is why I recommend the majority of people stick with 232. Unless you know the risks, and understand what the process does to your phone to move from one update to another (hint...it involves soft bricking until the update you're trying to install is successfully applied....not for the faint of heart since there's no FXZ safety net to fall back on should something go wrong), then 232 is the "safest" place to be. It gives you ICS but gives you the option of FXZ'ing back to 905 and taking the OTA should you need to go that route. Those on 235+ have only one option available to them...And that is the process I outlined that Matt Groff gave to us for moving between updates. I'm confident enough in the code and method that I believe it'll work. Now, go read the very first line of this post again, cause it's an important point to understand.

I understand completely. One thing I just learned was If lets say .244 (or .242 as you used as an example) is the OTA release then we are back on the path as long as our version matches the current verizon version. Or did I totally miss interput that. HoB script is Awesome and is what I've used for moving from .2233-.232 and I fully trust myself to use these tools properly to move forward. Sounds like you're in the know of where to locate updates and are a reliable member of the Bionic XDA Community. Since there MAY be a way for us to move forward I think I'll take the plunge this weekend when I have some down time. Thank You

Exactly. VZW doesn't make money from software upgrades, they make money by selling phones (then charging a mint for service). You want the newer features? Buy a newer phone. I'm surprised we even got this TBH.

I don't know if 246 (or 247 for that matter) was ever available as a leak. I've been running 232 until two days ago. Now I'm stock, waiting for the soak.
If it hasn't been leaked you'll have to wait until someone from the soak group makes 246 available. That will probably be tomorrow since I've heard that's when the soak test starts.
I beg to differ. If verizon could keep you on their plan without selling you a new subsidized phone they would even make more money.

While that is true, their strategy is to get people to buy more subsidized phones so they get kicked off unlimited and into shared data plans. These new plans are liquid gold for VZ. They were supposedly all over that on their quarterly investors conference call this morning.

Both were leaked, didn't see 246 posted anywhere but I know you can get 247 from house of bionic ... running it now
Would be nice of moto if they leaked a JB build at some point even though vzw would never approve it.
Edit: I could be wrong about 246 being leaked.

.246 was also leaked
Leaks were available all the way to .247. Currently House of Bionic is recommending that everyone on .247 go back to .246. If you are on .242, DON'T go on any higher leak because you can't go back. I'm reverting back to .246, but I've been stranded for a while. :silly:

New security was implemented in the .235 leak. .232 was as high as you could go to be able to revert back to .905
If you are on .235-.247 you can use House of Bionic to go back and forth in these builds. If you are .235 or higher and try to go back to .905 or .232 you will brick your phone!!
If you are .235-.247 it is recommended to go to .246 to be back on the OTA update path.
ICS push for everyone starts today!

Moto X Verizon Update?

Since we'll never be getting the update on Verizon (unless any of you have any info) I would like to ask my Sprint/T-Mobile variant users how the new camera/etc. update is? Does it fix the stupid robotic crap that happens all the time in the middle of a call that makes the call sound absolutely horrendous? Must be nice for you guys to get updates so timely.
I twated with Verizon support and they said it was forthcoming. Pretty helpful, eh? They said watch the news channel on their website.

I asked a rep at moto care and all they could tell me is an update will be available as soon as it's ready. I grabbed the sbf files and plan on trying to use the files from the other builds to make a hackneyed update.
I'm betting we get the update before 10/14. That's just a guess based on the phone's release date and the build date that's sitting on the current Verizon software (kernel was built on 8/7 and phone was released on 8/29).
I'd say we'll get an email this week saying the soak test is starting "soon" and we might start to see it roll out this weekend over the next 2 weeks as it's a fairly minor update.
