That should help you out, if you haven't seen it already. I may or may not hold off on the OTA because it may help with the Droid X rooting efforts. Chances are I'll get it though :-/

This is my first android phone so I'm just wondering...what's the procedure for an OTA update? Will the Droid X automatically prompt us when it becomes available or is there a manual action required?

automatic, so yes something will prompt you and if you don't click for it yourself in 3 minutes is the time frame i believe, it will automatically just do it. it will restart your phone after it downloads and then install and start up again.
i haven't got the update yet but i have been manually checking all day! i want it bad lol.

That's the general consensus across the forums so I think that's solid.

Installed no noticeable difference. Now we will let the clock start ticking for froyo. Tick. Tock. And so it begins. May e this was secretly a maintenance update for froyo. Vzw tweeted today that froyo for the dinc would b late july or early august. U don't think the are going to give it to someone other than their flagship phone first do u?

Nope just was in system updates this morning. Very happy for those that own one since this is considered a "dead" device. I started doubting the recent purchase of it for my wife but now that she has it, the battery life will be greater with the extended battery and she'll have the newest software. I may troll around here just to keep the forum moving.

nothing new here. I thought GB was only getting pushed for DroidX this week

What would happen if the system updated by itself while my device was rooted? What would happen if it updated while many system apps were frozen by Titanium?

Don't quote me on this but I don't think that it will automatically install by itself. I manually installed it on my wife's phone. Not sure about the system apps.

Sandman, could you try and locate the update file on your device and upload it for the impatient users like me ... ?

It's actually on my wife's phone and sadly I am at work. I will try and do it when I get home. Fingers crossed.

Ah cheers for that But heres the big question again ... was your wife's Pro rooted when she got it? I am always unsure with that ... last time for the update, I didnt unroot and left some apps frozen and it was absolutely fine. This time I am not so sure though ... :/

Does anyone have any screenshots? Didn't see anything listen for what was changed in Gingerbread....I just ordered a Pro after having the original Droid, and Incredible, Fascinate and also iPhone. May give my girlfriend the Pro since her Ally sucks slow-no memory.

System Update 4.010.07

Is there anyone that knows about this update. I was doing my homework, and then it just popped up. Im normally not one who updates, I usually update right before the next update is released. But i know the Honeycomb is still buggy so i would be willing to update.
System Update 4.010.07 (128.61 MB)
I even looked on here first, but didnt see anyone else with it.
Maybe its a region thing. If so im in New Orleans,La if that helps.

It doesn't update anything and it is not worth updating....
If you had taken the 2 minutes to look at the forums, there is already a topic here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153809
Before you posted your own.

update yes
This is a worthwhile update.its a firmware and Google is.and will add some function and address some of the known issues but yes it could bring other issues.I am in Kentucky when its pushed to me I will update.

ok, thats what I dont understand. My tab is already running 3.1.0.
i had my tablet from launch, 2weeks later i got an OTA update, that took my root away, and have been unable to get it rooted since. now im being told that this is the 3.1, but i am already running?????
any thoughts....

Are you sure its not 3.0.1? Look in settings about.

wow, hows that for dumb luck, here we all are hanging,sweating & desperate for HC3.1 and hes tossing up whether to update or not, i think i will calmly just turn off my PC before i SnAp..... hehehe

OK,everyone so angry, yes I have been running 3.1 for about a month.
Now this update is pushing across. I guess ill try it. Not sure why everyone always wants to update, from my personal experience I have always had bad luck updating.
I'm gonna push it now, will post back.

Has anyone received the Nexus S 4G OTA yet?

Has anyone got the OTA that is supposed to be released today or tried *#*#checkin#*#* for the update?

I wonder if Google is going to release an OTA for both GRJ06D and GRJ22, or just GRJ22.

Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App

What he is referring to is if the OTA will be pushed to both GRJ06 (original build) and GRJ22 (first update). I would imagine it would go to both, starting with GRJ22 first and then pushed to any straglers left on 06...

just tried the checkin code. no update

It was said only 5% will get it today. But jeezo, you'd think it would be out by now. Maybe the ones getting it 1st, don't know they have it yet.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App

Yeah I was also checking in to see if anyone had received the update but I guess not. I'm pretty sure to update you have to have the option under setting>about phone>system-updates which I do not have running Cyanogen. Also if you were to do the update you will probably loose root is my guess.

im currently unrooted and have not seen anything yet... will post if something hits

Loaded up factory images checked in succeeded, no updates as of yet.

If 5% of the 4G users get the patch today that's hardly a noticable amount, guess we'll have to wait for another day or two before more reports come in.

If you notice, when updating prl, data stays intact. As before it always cut off

i've tried dialing *#*#checkin#*#* from my nexus and i keep getting "the feature code you entered is not valid. message one" and then it hangs up. i don't get the following showing "checkin succeeded"

Why not wait, It's not guaranteed to come today. but you have 30 days and if this update fixes the issues it has had I doubt you will be upset at keeping the phone.
Right now I have 1 problem and that is signal.

Verizon 2.3.5 officially released!

Verizon has started updating the tabs to 2.3.5 today. Probably will take a few days for everyone to get it though. Just thought I would share.
Edit: thanks to jason62082 we now have a link to download the update.zip! Enjoy everyone and be sure to thank Jason for pulling it from his tab and uploading it!

if you've received the OTA you should pull the .zip and upload it to provide a link for everyone else.

No, I dont have it yet. I work for them and just letting u know they started it today. I am patiently waiting for it now. Just wanted to let everyone know the good news. If u dont believe me, call in and ask. It was released today.
And btw, I have never pulled a zip and dont know how to, or I would once I get it. Sorry. Just wait for the ota or someone else to post it.
Sent from my SCH-I800 using xda premium

I can confirm this update. My Tab notified me about 10 minutes ago. Haven't updated yet because I don't feel like having to root it again. If someone could tell me how though, I will try to pull the .zip
EDIT: Never mind. It was a smaller update for 2.2....

Any proof
Any proof, like picture?

Anyone who had previously been using the "leaked" VZW GB rom try to update to this official one? Any differences noted or anticipated? Is there any point instead of sticking to the "leaked" ROM?

Other than unrooting, will this update screw anything up?

If I'm rooted can I still get this ota update?

I bypassed the verizon activation a few days ago with the volume up and down method and I am currently using my tab on wifi only. Will I get the update? If I do get it, will I have to bypass it again? Will the same method work?
Sent from my SCH-I800 using xda premium

I am not sure if you'll get it if not on Verizon's network. I am getting impatient though. The announcement I read said it was starting on the 1st but I still haven't seen it, nor has anyone else I know. Any of you guys got it yet??? Mine had the GB leak on it and I flashed back to stock Froyo just for this. I'm just hoping something I did didn't block me from getting it.

I can't get it yet either.

I'm over in the quail hollow area off Carmel. Funny. Small world. Anyway, I'm thinking of calling tech support and asking them about it.

Ask them if the update will screw up our rooted Tabs.

I'm sure it would as far as losing root, but they gave me the basic song and dance. Said it was staggered and may take a while for everyone to get it. Then he told me to go into the store and have it updated which isn't true. I work in the store and we have no way to update smartphones and tablets, only basic phones. It just seems strange that no one on this forum has received it. When I go back to work tomorrow I will check to see if it was pulled back or delayed for any reason.

Question, when it updates, does it just put an update.zip on the sd card? If so, then I will try to copy and post on here.
Edit: I have a sneaky suspicion that it was delayed for some reason. Check it out. It still says coming soon on the public page.

Yes, when the OTA update pop up shows up, that means you have an update.zip on the internal storage of your Tab. Use Root explorer or ES and navigate to /cache and you'll find the update.zip once you get the OTA notice. Then you can just upload that update.zip to any hosting site, and drop a link here for all to enjoy.
