Judging by what I'm seeing on some of the forums, it seems as though people are upgrading officially through the System Update option. However, mine continues to tell me that I'm up to date. Could someone advise me on the status of the OTA?

As of right now its still telling me I am up to date through system update as well.

I'm not sure it's been officially released yet, people just got info from here showing that apparently the official version and the leaked version are the same number. I can't verify this as I haven't updated or checked the versions myself, and some folks said the official release might have some other changes included so I'm still waiting. I don't want to get stuck and miss out on something.

From the Motorola web site my understanding is the only OTA update was for special test phones. The soak test hasn't started or you would have seen it posted on Droid-Life as they usually have it as soon as the email has been sent out.
I read there was a problem with the D2G Exchange encryption or something and maybe that is either using resources or the D3 has the same problem. Don't know but I'm guessing something is up or it would have been out by now.
I'm not updating my phone until the official version is out.
I appreciate the response everyone. I, as well, would like to wait for the official release rather than be hasty and install the leak.

$5 says the leak will be the exact same as the "official" OTA. I installed it the first day it was posted. XD
where can you find the leak?

Does anyone know if the leak fixes the data roaming problem? My co-worker got his Droid 3 today but cannot use data since we live in an extended network. Bummer for him, but I'm trying to help fix his problem if I can.

Should be able to turn it on in settings. That is what I did. The setting did take a few times for it to stay active, but not had to reactivate the setting in a few weeks.
Motorola just announced on their Facebook page about 10-15 minutes ago that ICS for the Bionic begins rolling out today in phases.

The ICS Verizon is using is the 246 leak. The MD 5 matches so you can pull the leak put it into your external SD card . Boot into recovery and flash it yourself. Instead of waiting for the OTA.

I got my soak test OTA yesterday they should release the push for everyone in a couple of days. I was on GB for a week and it sucked. It gave me a whole new appreciation for for ICS.
You can also download and manually load the 246 leak in stock recovery. It's the same file.

Yeah it was rough. The data drops were horrible. Part of the way the soak test goes is that you cannot flash to stock or factory reset your phone after your phone id has been added to the recipient list of the OTA. I wasn't sure when that would happen so I went back to GB the day I got the invitation to join.
Now I know there will be a second announcement the day before the soak, after which you should not flash-to-stock or reset your phone anymore. Good to know for the next soak!

I was on .905 for a week too... YUCK. Glad to be back on ICS but I CAN NOT wait to get JB! So glad I got the Bionic.
Yeah! My phone is getting the update now. Can't wait for JB! So glad they made that announcement. One got "stuck" on 905 for about a 3 days.
Got the OTA this morning. Phone is very sluggish. Doesn't seem to be any way to switch between 4G and 3g. My imap email is now blank and I am unable to download Chrome from the play store.
Switching from 4g/3g is a must for me as 4G causes static in my Tritton headset. I I use the native mail app for work, so basically this update was a bust.
Also I had chrome on one of the earlier leaks, why can't we download it now?
Finally got the OTA this morning. Happier now.

You are right, I take back the sluggish part. It is now running pretty well, besides the issues that I mentioned. I swear I was able to download Chrome on .232, and not being about to toggle 4g/3g is HUGE for me.
Woke up and checked for updates. Got official OTA ICS this morning! Installed and now doing a Factory Data Reset as many have suggested doing. I'm in Vermont.
I can download the OTA update but it will not install. Please help! I am rooted but have done a factory reset. Do I need to remove Bionic Bootstrap. If so I can't find the .apk anywhere in my system files.

http://www.droid-life.com/2013/03/11/droid-4-soak-test-invites-go-out-jelly-bean-update-likely/
The DROID 4 may be the next in line to receive Jelly Bean (Android 4.1) from Motorola, if invites to a soak test for members of the Moto Feedback Network are any indication. A number of readers of ours received invites last night to test out a “early preview of a new software release,” though the words “Jelly Bean” were not necessarily mentioned in the emails.
With that said, a newish thread at Motorola’s support forums is reminding DROID 4 owners that they should be sure their accounts have correct IMEI numbers attached because Jelly Bean is indeed on the way. More members there are also chiming in with soak test invites.
Motorola has yet to define a time frame for the DROID 4 update, but we know for sure that it is expected to receive Jelly Bean. That much they have confirmed. Should it push out some time this month (Q1), they may actually be somewhat ahead of anyone’s schedule.
Nice.. soon soon my preciousssss lol

So if I have safestrap installed, do I need to remove it before the OTA can install?
Yes. Be on your stock system, uninstall safestrap, and make sure you have all your system apps still installed to pass the OTA requirements. If you do get an OTA please share it with the community before installing. Thanks!

Sent from my DROID4 using xda app-developers app
A downloaded OTA is stored in the device's cache. If you're rooted, use a file explorer and navigate to "/cache" and you should find the zip there.
Alternately, the app provided here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2188158
Will transfer the zip from the cache to your sd card. Just copy it to your pc and throw it up on a file hosting service.
Just be sure to nab it before you install it.

Second emails went out to SOAK invitee's stating that the update (SOAK) would start being pushed out today (3/19).
Hopefully we'll see it soon....
I just put mine back to stock with a new 4G sim card and bypassed activation (as I don't have Verizon) doing a full NVDump before the OTA for comparison (to see the supposed GSM Improvements, also to eliminate variables in our efforts to get this and the RAZR working on US GSM). Rooted, Updated Binaries, Installed VooDoo, Protected Root, Temp Unroot, Hurry up and wait.......
Push out has started......
In the official capacity we are now last. Right on schedule VZW.
I bet just to troll us, they announce it tomorrow but the release will be at the end of the month :laugh:

Nah, I haven't played around with it yet. Honestly Ive never had any issues with the stock speed. Once animations are turned off.

I don't think it's LG in this instance. I think it's Verizon, and I think it has more to do with the m8 launch than it does with whether or not the update is ready. They don't like to have anything mess with the new revenue stream.

Agreed... Think about it: would the company make more money by keeping everyone's android system slick and up-to-date, or by enticing those with outdated devices to pine over the newest phone, with the NEWEST OS? Having worked customer service for a VZW contractor in the past, I personally know that making their customers happy (with no direct profit) is at the bottom of their list.

You are not far off the mark. It is also possible that they are not going to update the phone to 4.4.2. Just because LG stated they would be for all variants does not mean Verizon will do it. I came from an LG revolution which at point LG said would get ICS, needless to say that phone is still only running 2.3.6. We guessed that VZW cancelled the update. LG support stated that it was working on a upgrade and that it was in testing and then nothing...
I hope I am not reliving things again. If I am, at least the base phone and stock OS are really good.

I don't think so because there's already a stock leak build that works 100 percent. I think they're just waiting and they're gonna merge the knock code in and release it as one build rather than releasing 2 separate ones
