My question is:
Someone has the 3rd soak test?

I received it by OTA 1-2 days after it was released, but the 3rd was released about 5-6 days, and my phone doesn't show me the update

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.

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!

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. ?

Re: Droid 3 Update Soak Begins TODAY!

Re: Droid 3 Update Soak Begins TODAY!
Just got an e-mail from MFN (Motorola Feedback Network) indicating that the Droid 3 Soak Test will be starting today. With the subject line stating "Motorola Feedback Network - Droid 3 test starting", the e-mail said "Thanks for signing up for the Droid 3 software test. The software will begin to be pushed out later this afternoon; however, it may take several hours for all targeted devices to receive the update."
So, keep an eye out everyone!

No, it's not ICS, it is more than likely the .906 update (bug fixes) as the leak thread has......we'll see.

Are you part of the SOAK test?
Latest "official" version is 5.6.890 which you would need to be on to get this pushed to you.

will do.
bout time
Looking at the file the build.prop signature matches the .906 leak.
Installing now..
Yep...."The Installation was successful. Your phone has been upgraded to xxxx.906.en"
Isn't this a confidential test? Aren't you supposed to not publicize that you are part of the test? I remember when I received the email a few weeks ago promoting this the confidentiality was mentioned quite clearly.
I think these updates are to prep the system for ics, like what the razrs and d4 got the past weeks. They had this update months ago but probably added ics prep and it finally passed verizons testing now.

I believe there will be one more, it will update any bloatware we have on the phone, if we don't have any it will add it. This will be in about 6 months.
My question is... the 906 leak was a test build. Is the 906 official any different?

How was the 906 leak a test build. It has release keys. Just like the 5.6.890 "leak" that eventually became the OTA release......the 5.7.906 "leak" has become the OTA soak test...which will most likely become the final release.
Any guesses on how long it takes for release after soak test?

From my experiences, it usually is about a week after the soak test that the update starts getting pushed to all.....if nothing major crops up during the test....
Since the .906 leak has been used for so long by many without complaints, I don't see the soak testers reporting any "update stopping" issues.

Verizon says that they are officially releasing the 905 build... People are saying they are getting the 906 but the morons at Verizon say its the 905.
Alright well I happened to look over this thread; thought I would clear some things up.
Motorola says that any soak test is a confidential test -- hardly anybody listens to that though. The OTA update was scheduled to roll out in February, and the support document for the 905 update was created in February, but Motorola placed it on hold to make room for the 5.9.902 update for the DROID BIONIC and the 6.12.173 update for the DROID RAZR series. Both rolled out and did good on completing during February.
Motorola is just now getting a chance to remember that the DROID 3 exists to all of us. Verizon posted a early labeled document that showed 5.7.905 as the release. Verizon has corrected this error -- a support document for the 5.7.906 update is up now.
The leak has all the same signatures. Everything is the same from the soak test to the leak. If you cannot wait, installing 5.7.906 from me will not hurt your phone, nor will it remove you from the upgrade path.
The long-forgotten DROID X2 is also seeing an update, I am happy for them too since I was a previous owner of the DX2. Ive upgraded my devices to 5.7.906, I got the official soak update. If upon request I will post a link to download the update that came with the soak update and not the leak ONLY ON REQUESTS!!
That's all for now.

Not Sure, I haven't got the update. maybe someone will provide us a download link. So we don't have too wait for the OTA too pop up.
Thanks, didn't see it though. Seems like an important update, or why they want to push it out while the 4.4 is coming. BTW, the 4.4.1 is in the make. I hate google. If the update is as easy as the windows update, then no problem, but this updates are so hard, take so long time.

I believe this update will bring new radio and most likely a prl change. Still haven't seen update as I am on East Coast. Also running logcat too help provide DL link when it pops up. unless someone gets the link posted first
waiting for the new firmware as well. Hopefully dev will be able to provide a firmware only to flash over existing ROM.
whoever downloads the OTA, please post it

The Update was pulled by Sprint. Reason still unknown. HTC asking sprint questions why. This was going too be last update before KitKat rolls out. Expecting Roll Out date for Android 4.4 should be Jan 20-24.

5.0 update Motorola?

When the Moto X 2013 came how, how fast was it when motorola updated the phone to the latest version? I mean say the Nexus 5 got 4.0 on Nov 1st. How soon after did Motorola update the Moto X to 4.0?
um
I read an artical saying motorola has made a website to show which devices will get the new update and i think it said it should get it around nov. 3

I wouldn't expect the process to be the same.
The Moto X was a new approach for Google/Motorola at the time.
A lot of lessons have been learned since then.
I think they finally 'get' that updating phones to the newest platform as quickly as possible is in their benefit.
All this fragmentation is like a rash that won't go away and they don't like it at all. We consumers don't either.
As a result, Google has been pressing other phone manufacturers like Samsung and HTC to release updates to their skinned devices quicker, so it would be kind of stupid if they didn't lead by example in this area.
It's my hunch that Lollipop will be released on Motorola devices very quickly....but it's just a hunch.

I think your hunch is right. I just got an email for some test software
Plus, they sent out the L preview was ahead of time and have updated it. Which means not just developers have been able to work with it, but OEMS as well. They may not have the final L version, but they've been able to work with L in some way since June. That gives them a great head start that they didn't have before.

Same here. I unrooted (after rooting earlier with jcase's supersu boot img) according to instructions and flashed stock recovery/boot image, but the bootloader is still showing "Software status: Modified." Does anybody know if there will be an issue with the OTA because of that or if there's anyway to get that to disappear without a factory reset?

Nope, you'll get your ota just fine as long as your system files are not modified, you have stock recovery and kernel. Unlocked boot loader is not an issue.
Excellent. Hopefully it works
Guys, who got invite for soak test, do you have ATT Moto X or Pure?
What is the soak test/why is it called that? :laugh:
I didn't even know about the Motorola feedback until yesterday. I signed up, but I wonder if I'm too late?
