Soak Test Starting Tomorrow

I just got this email from Motorola:
Hi.
Thanks for much for siging up to provide feedback on the upcoming software upgrade for the Droid 3. Unless we run into unexpected difficulties, we will start the upgrade mid-day tomorrow.
One warning -- please DO NOT perform a factory data reset in advance of the upgrade. It can knock you off our upgrade list.
You can now enter the private community where we will be expecting your feedback. Get started here [NOTE - I REMOVED THE LINK] and learn more. In the event that you can't enter the community, reply to this email with the user name and password you are using.
Please do not send emails here or PM me if you can possibly help it. Soaks are busy times and mostly I will be in the community.
Thanks again!

this is the same one that leaked a while back right?

I BELIEVE so, but I'm not positive. If someone who applied the leak can compare my numbers with their numbers, that'd be awesome

Numbers match my d3 with leaked ota

Just got the OTA and installing now. Is this a full scale roll out or a soak test? Because I didn't sign up for anything...

im waiting for someone to dump the update from their SD/internal memory for a manual update.

It was unknown until the soak test actually began whether the leaked update was the official update or not. When it was first leaked, there was no way to know whether or not it would take you off the actual upgrade path for the future. Even after Verizon posted preliminary info about the update with the same build number on their site, it was possible that they would change things and re-publish the page. Just because you jumped the gun and got lucky doesn't mean this is insignificant news for those of us who were patient.
Granted it's all moot now since this is in the past...

They feed soak test update to many users, not only those who signed for it. You just got in the pool.

Does this OTA break the same things that people reported on the leak? Camera issues, double tappin on keyboards, etc. ?

Not necessarily...though it doesn't look good. Glad I didn't flash yet.

10 to 1 this new leak won't install over the last. It will be made for 905 which is the last official release. I hope I'm wrong. But....

I am kind of glad that I have not taken the plunge then. What was the problem you had Sam that makes you so leery of leaks? If you do not mind me asking of course.

which server?

When 5.5.893, 5.7.893, and 5.8.894 were leaked I jumped on the bandwagon and went to 5.7.893. Then we found out that 5.5.893 was going to be the official patch. And at that point none of us on 5.7.893 or 5.8.894 were on the OTA path anymore. No FXZ file existed back then and the method to put us back on the OTA path was literally just an idea at the time. Well, I wanted to do my part to help out so I jumped on trying to get my Bionic back on the path using the methods. *I* screwed up and ended up bricking my Bionic. For 36 hours I was completely screwed and VZW even offered to replace the phone under warranty even after they knew what I'd done to it. However, someone then posted a FXZ method and I was able to recover my Bionic and get it back on the OTA path. I returned the replacement without even opening it. It was an atypical experience for those off the path, but, with no method back right now, I'm going to wait until there is. Those who updated to the first leak are about to get a lesson in why patience is good with leaks on Moto phones. I feel for every single person and hope to GOD the community gets them back on track quickly.

as soon as you get the file uploaded im fzxing and installing. I will let everyone know how it works

how you know about the changes?
were you able to flash 2233 on top of 2231?

i have mine set to master-sdc100.blurdev.com and its downloading 2233, i think as long as you have cheesecake you can move forward through updates.

To update or not to update

Ok so on my birthday my Bionic took a dump on me and I had to go to Best Buy to get a new one shipped to me. The question is now should I put the ICS update one it?
On my previous Bionic I had .232 so I could go back to .905 (as far as I know that is the last leak to be able to go back to .905). My argument is that being so close to the OTA.
Having my Mac bootcamped I can go back to 905 if I need to.

I would def go to ICS .232 I haven't heard about being able to go back if needed after that ICS update. I know .232 isn't the most stable/best of the ICS builds but mine works very well and I know I can go back if needed. The update is taking way to long for me I have been on ICS for months now and can't imagine not having it. Funny when I grab my brother's and see GB I think man this phone sucks lol.

Do not bother. Soaktest just came out today. You will have to (most likely- strike that, people said you do) revert back to 905 to install the official release when it comes out in the next few weeks. (which I am dreading)

Update to lastest ota before converting to stock

Hi, my blu arrived today and i'm already planing on converting to stock. I read that the ota ver 6.4 enables some LTE bands... i probably won't ever use them, but its an adition so... i want to know if i can flash 6.5 (this is the lastest right now) and then flash stock... im affraid i might flash the amazon ota and loose the ability to go back to stock.. is it safe?

Not exactly sure what your asking??

I don't think that you understand the process. Removing the ads means reflashing the entire phone, so any updates that were installed would no longer be there as the images used to reflash do not include any updates.
There was one update that only the amazon version got to make it harder to disable the ads. Both versions of the phone got a July security update pushed but this only works on completely unmodified phones.
The much awaited band 12 update has NOT been released.
Either your source of information is suspect or you are not yet understanding the information. Read carefully in THIS forum to learn what's going on with this phone.

The non prime has not yet received any OTA, only the Prime variant. Non prime still on June security

That's not true. My phone is converted to non-Prime edition and I WAS offered the July security updates. I could not install them because I have twrp, root, and xposed but I was told that an update was available for the non-amazon version. The amazon version of the phone has had TWO updates - the first one to stop turning off the ad server and the second one with the July security updates.

Hmm..

That is what I got after I tried applying the update, just to see what would happen - I knew it wouldn't work with root, twrp, etc. but hoped that I would be able to find the downloaded update file on the phone somewhere. Other people with unmodified phones have reported receiving it. Check near the end of the General Discussion thread - the one that's over 100 pages long.

Your the only one reporting it, that I can find. But hey if they released it great. But the only downloads for OTAs I can find are for the prime. If anyone has an OTA for non prime that updates it from 1.2 please post a link. @ColtonDRG is thinking of merging the July security updates to OEM, but if it's already been released via OTA, someone let him know!! I'm not trying to argue with you, it's just people are getting confused and frustrated already with the different flash methods etc... Don't get me wrong, I would be super stoked if BLU actually supported the non subsidized non prime variant.

Yes, Colton there was an ota update yesterday. But currently it says "Root has been detected, can not update device". This may be the 4G LTE Update.

Thats just where i modified the build.prop to match model # OTA version check is still R0011UU for OTA updates, but earlier today, i completely reverted to oem stock with factory reset, still no OTA, my OCD made me do it, just to confirm OTAs lol, spent an hour restoring my phone afterwards

Yay, someone else finally got it! No, jloh1963, it wasn't the anticipated band 12 voLTE update, it's just the July security updates. But no one can install it unless they are completely stock and few in this forum probably are.
Colton, it did attempt to apply the update after downloading it and prompting me and, as expected, the update failed. That's why I made that post a week or so ago asking where I might find the failed update. I wanted to save it. But I did a search on the phone and couldn't find anything that looked like it.

Yeah I did earlier today, reran conversion via spft and reset/wipe to factory. Ran update check but nothing, so I rooted/installed TWRP and restored my current config. I'll reset and let it sit for a day or two, perhaps its a gradual rollout. Will do my best to grab URL

If you're part of the MFN, which you should be if you're receiving the updates by OTA, I'd suggest messaging on the official soak test forums. You should have the link in an email if you were selected for the soak test. Maybe they haven't pushed the patch to you for some reason.
