Very unlikely. Verizon has not changed their support site for the Droid yet, still shows ESE81 pics. Also Motorola has not announced anything tangable as to a release date either. All I ever heard was some time late summer, and that seemed to be optimistic. There is also a thread on Motorola you can follow where Matt will let us know, most likely the same day it releases. Store techs have no clue about it, if they did we would all know the roll out date for sure.. Personally I think the Droid will get it the same time the Droid X does. That in turn will follow with the Droid 2 debut with froyo installed from the factory. " this is only my opinion, not facts"

You think so? Just with experience with the Eris and Incredible, I think it'll be a good month or two after the Droid 2 or X get it. Just my thoughts, as well, but you think they'll update an "older" device before or close to the newer ones?

You obvisouly don't know how verizon works. Verizon loves to update old phones when a upgrade is coming, it allows you to try out the OS which the new one will be running and make you want it.
Storm 1 got the update a little before the storm 2 came out.
Droid is still a very popular phone and still doesn't have any selling problems. The update will most likely come out some time early august around the same time the Droid 2 will come out.

Droid2(A955) Motherboard in Droid1(A855)

Seen a thread somewhere on the net about this and thought I'd post it in this section seeing as how it would be an accessory upgrade I suppose. If anybody has any more info or specs on this let me know and let's get it up on here for reference. I'd like to give it a try and see if it will bring better speeds and performance for the A855. I'll keep my search up again and try to get the info on here.

Success
Ok guys and gals,I have tracked down some info on putting a Motorola D2 (A955 or A956) motherboard into a D1. It has been done and I'm posting the sites for the breakdown and info on it showing that it can be done. I just got a good used D2 off of EBay this morning for $50 and supposedly the screen doesn't work on it. If I can't get the screen to work I will implant the D2 motherboard into my D1 and possibly the keyboard as well. The designs are exactly the same and everything fits. I hope you all find this informative and hope somebody will give it a try as well! Enjoy!

If droid 2 to droid 1 is possible, can I have a droid 2 keyboard for droid 1?
That is, put my droid 1 motherboard into a droid 2 lower body, and remains the droid 1 screen?

Any sites with the 2 to 1 switch working with photos or videos?

anyone here on forums that done this?

No I have not found any videos yet but I will make one when I get ready to tear apart my D1. I have had my D2G torn apart about 2 months but have been busy. I'll let you all know when I begin.

Will it work with a global? does'nt that need extra space for the sim slot?

This is very interesting... might be well worth doing. Please post updates when/if you get this underway.
Just out of interest why wouldn't you just replace the screen in the D2 with the screen from your D1?
What implications will changing the hardware like this have for software compatibility?

Hi. I believe this would not be an issue as I have swapped motherboards from my Motorola Milestone (GSM) to a Motorola Droid (CDMA) and it fit perfectly fine. Put my sim on and worked great. I dont have any experience with the Droid 2 and D2G though, so I'm just guessing really.

I'm looking to do this with a milestone and a d2g. I can't seem to find any milestone 2 on ebay but I see tons of d2g for cheap.
Also does anyone know how to switch the home and back becouse there in a different place on the d2g. I think there's a button replace app but I'm not sure

Got my droid 2 global the other day just got to figure out how to sim unlock it
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App

it seams that putting a droid 2 global motherboard in a milestone will not work. every time i try to turn on the milestone only the soft keys light up and nothing else happens. i also tried the opposite to see if i put something together wrong or broke a cable and with the motherboard of the milestone in the droid 2 global i got the same problem only the soft keys light up.

Will be doing this.

But then again, say good bye to an unlocked bootloader.

Droid2G and Droid1 under construction!
Hey guys,I've been attending college and working and tending to my kids lately and havent checked in on this in a while. My droid 1 processor just took a crap on me yesterday and I am now undergoing the transformation of the two Droids. I am essentially using the lower half(keyboard) from my Droid 2 Global, and the upper half(the LCD Screen,and digitizer) from my Droid 1 and going to inculcate them together. I will take pics along the way as I have no way of taking video except with my HTC Hero200. God I need to buy a video camera already! Thanks for keeping up with this thread and I look forward to giving you all the info as soon as I'm done!

Unlocking the Milestone or Droid 2 Global
Usually to unlock a GSM phone you can just call Verizon OR Motorola directly if your brave enough and ask them for the unlock code. I am in the military and always tell them I'm going overseas and need the unlock code so that I can take it with me. They usually don't ask a lot of questions and give me the code with no problem. Just thought I'd try to help out.

Doing this would effectively give you a Droid 2 in the Droid 1 housing...don't see the point?!

In this case use the screen of Droid 1, in Droid 2, its better the keyboard of Droid 2... but i dont know the incompatibilities..... see the V3 and V3re the display are same but the flex connect its different....

using warranty to get another phone?

Hi guys,
Due to some charging issues I have, I decided im going to warranty out my phone. I remember reading some people managing to get a different phone through warranty.
whats your experience on this? When I worked for AT&T they usually never sent different phones unless the phone was extinct.
what do you guys think?

If you were with Verizon, no chance. You get a refurb of same model.

You have to have a few phones replaced before they will typically send you a different phone. I went through 5 Droid Erises then they sent me a Droid 2 but I.had to purchase the battery and back.cover myself.
While they don't commonly send you a different phone, it does occasionally happen. I am on Verizon.

yeah with verizon they'll only give you a different model if they are out of stock on the one you have.... and they'll pick the replacement for you.
your only shot is to call customer care a few times reporting issues with your phone. after they"ve logged your calls("complaints") a few times then proceed telling them that you're ready to cancel service. at that point they should be willing to work something out with you.

Coming from the Fascinate, I recall some people getting the Incredible 2 or the Charge as a replacement for it.

Its kind of funny that you mentioned threatening to cancel your services. That's what I did to get them to send me the Droid 2 for my Droid Eris. Even after they originally agreed, they turned and canceled it once and then I really went off on them for trying to break their agreement.

What exactly did you think they were going to offer you? Be happy they gave you another option. I had my Droid Eris for 9 months and went through 5 of them and had to threaten to cancel my contract to get them to give me a Droid 2 around the time they were releasing the Droid 2 global and already gave up on the Droid 2. They're not going to give you one of their top notch phones. If anyone thinks they will get a razr or nexus as a replacement, stop kidding yourself. Be happy they offered you the Charge and not the LG Revolution. The revolution is what I would expect them to give as a replacement, and I highly recommend avoiding the revolution even though it does have an unlocked bootloader. If you do get the revolution, you will see that having an unlocked bootloader isn't all what some people think it is.
If you want the Razr, I suggest waiting until the newer Razr comes out before using your warranty. Once that comes out, they may be willing to give you the razr as a replacement but right now that wont happen.

Flash Bionic to Pageplus...

I recently purchased a Motorola Droid Bionic running ICS 4.O4 v6.7.2233 on eBay. I really would love to have this phone flashed to Pageplus. I KNOW it can be done as I have seen a tutorial on YouTube. But for some reason, my phone is having issues with this. Can anyone help me???

[Q] Need LTE/SIM card to root/flash?

Spent all weekend looking for an answer, no luck. Got a Droid Bionic off of Ebay and should have it in a few days. I plan to root, flash to Cricket and then ROM. Lots of info here and out there on the Interwebs about how to do that.
1 question I have though, is will I need to have an LTE and/or SIM card to do this? I've rooted and ROM'd my Optimus C a few times so I'm pretty sure that I can root the Bionic, still lots of support out there for it, a little less on flashing to Cricket but I'm sure I can figure it out, just wanted to clarify the LTE/SIM card info because of the conflicting information.
I've read about the workaround to bypass the activation screen (tap all 4 corners?) but then some flashing tutorials say you need the LTE card to turn off LTE and change it to CDMA only.
SO to make a long story short (I know, TOO LATE!) Will I need an LTE/SIM card to ROOT and/or FLASH (to Cricket) the Driod Bionic?
I just want to know so that I can buy/borrow one (If need be) so that when the phone gets here I can jump right in with the rootin' and the flashin'!
TIA for any/all advice.

Yea there is the guy I bought my phone from left his old one in. I haven't ever touched it, but it's here somewhere.

Thanks for the offer, I got the phone flashed. It did come with a SIM card, don't know if it made a difference though.
Thanks again!
