Motorola is looking for 1000 prerelease software testers.I started to jump on it then I realized I could kiss root goodbye. I am however still sorely tempted. Who knows what pearls could be gained from it.Anyone's thoughts?

Still, somebody should do, good chance there could be an unlocked boot.img in the beta firmware.
Very interesting ...I'm too dependant on root though myself. Mayne someone here on the boards will get there hands on it and give us a peek to look inside and see what it contains!
I wonder if they are going to be pushing it out to their beta testers via OTA or through an actual msi package. I'm sure its ICS they are pre-testing.

Not saying it couldn't happen but its highly doubtful. But stranger things have happened that's for sure
Well what makes me think that, is if something went wrong they would need to downgrade the firmware, typically locked bootloaders dont allow that?
If nothing else, we could end up with an SBF from this.
They're sending updated software via email.
Edit: reread the article,doesn't EXACTLY say that.

I remember them doing something like this for one of the updates for the Atrix 4G. At any rate, I signed up.
Interesting.....
Well I will sign up, and take one for the community.
Thank-you you brave souls! I just can't bring myself to give up root.
Edit: thought about it... wth I signed up.

Nothing really says that you have to give up root....you can always figure out how to root the next ROM...Haven't seen one that was completely unrootable yet.
However the update is put out, someone should save a copy and give it to jim to look at.

I went ahead and signed up...root isn't that important to me plus I'd like to help contribute to making the Atrix 2 better for all of us the only way I can....participating in the prerelease testing.
i think it's a good news.
At least they're starting something for us
It's certainly a good sign. I'm not high tech enough for this.
I signed up, here's to hoping this helps with getting an SBF.

CAPTURE and LEAK
So, can someone who works at TMo CAPTURE and LEAK this ota test update?
Maybe it contains some non-**** hardware drivers for the devs to work with before the "real" release (which will be released....who knows when).
Man let me test it for them! I'm glad to see this news but they are still procrastinating I'm having dejav of my vibrant again!

Yes they can. They would have to capture the OTA before they download it though. The TMO testing is probably the best chance to get a leak before it is officially released. Or maybe we'll get lucky and Football will get us the leak

Just saw the update to the original article; it's apparently not nationwide but only for a specific region, which reduces the pool of potential leakers. It's encouraging, though, to see that this is far enough along to warrant an OTA test with a relatively large pool of testers, as well as to see that it appears to be a combined bug-fix and Gingerbread update. I'm beginning to think that the prognosticators who favor a mid-July general release may have it right.
I said July 17th

Just a friendly little anecdote for you. Do with it what you will...
I worked tech support in a call center for a large mobile provider and was terminated for posting on forums after they managed to link me to some posts I had made. They did this by monitoring network traffic in the building, which lead them to my computer since I was posting them while at work. I was fired for the content of the posts, although they were all completely harmless, such as your post. They felt I was divulging proprietary information.
For a long time I kicked myself for posting on the forums with my work computer, but really I should have been kicking myself for posting at all, from any device. In the end, just ask yourself if the risk is worth the reward.
Now, the bright side of this, 6 months later I landed a great job as a network admin for a great company.
Oh and about that company I used to work for, their name started with a T and ended with a Mobile.
well thats not very smart for you to do.....

I think you're missing the bigger point here. As I said in the post, the conclusion I made in the end was that it really wasn't worth it to post at all, regardless of where I was posting. They could just as easily linked me to the posts using other methods, such as overhearing something, or someone tattling. Or maybe I became facebook friends with someone on the forums, and they reported me. There are plenty of ways.
Nevertheless, I did say to do what you will with the story. But seriously, consider the whole risk vs. reward part of it. What are you really getting out of posting small bits of 'insider' information? Probably not much. And believe me, I didn't think I was divulging anything proprietary, but it didn't matter what I thought. My posts were almost identical to yours. I wish someone had said this to me back then (even though I landed a better job in the end).
Anyhow, good luck to you. You probably won't get burned like I did, but as they say... **** happens.
Can someone explain why a rooted phone will not work with the OTA? Is having CWM also an issue? What do I need to do to prepare my phone before the update arrives?
I also do not understand why TMo would not publish the update on their site like they do with all the windows phones.

Absolutely right. I later learned that I wasn't the first to be terminated for posting, and I'm sure I won't be the last.
In my last comment I mentioned that I wish someone had given me this bit of 'advice' long ago, but come to think of it, someone pretty much did. I distinctly remember someone replying to me one day and saying that they know other employees had gotten in trouble for posting. I brushed it off just like this guy/gal.

You need to revert back to stock for the update. This is because the update is designed to build on the stock OS, not whatever you have on your phone. As far as rooting it and leaving it stock, not sure what the root does to block the ota.

I can't be positive, but perhaps its not so much rooted as flashed with another ROM. I've heard of rooted phones being updated. I've not heard of cooked ROMs being updated.
But, I know nothing for sure.
I don't know if this means anything other than what it says. But I have tried to connect to get software update and it keeps giving me the old can't connect at this time message. Could it be that the servers on their end are overwhelmed with others trying to do the update if it is indeed out?
And another question...I am not a T-Mo suscriber. I use Simple Mobile. Would the update get pushed to my G2x or would I have to manually install it? Thanks
Thanks guys. I am running rooted stock and stayed that way on purpose so I could get the update. I also stayed stock because my phone runs like a champ. Never had a reboot and everything works as intended.
You are probably better off waiting a few days to let our developers get a hold of it anyway.

When there are 'Official' releases to multiple carriers, then each carrier would get a push, based on their own agreements with LG. If the phone is a regionally sold phone, also called unbranded, a push is made to them also. Most commonly, you see the unbranded phones get the update first, since the carrier testing does not have to be done.
But, in reality..it is all a crap shoot....so you're still waiting, no matter what.
Anyone have any solid information on this though? There are just too many threads of "I just heard the GB update..." with no solid ROM information or even a picture.

So, I was wondering....where does one go to get 'solid' information? We're here in a community forum, using fake names. More than half of us can't vote, work in a burger king or in college. We all have a tendency to read and search and google/bing about the G2x.
I for 1 couldn't tell solid information from rumor. I will say this though...if the information you have, comes from Twitter, Android Police, TMONEWS, or anything with a 'Forum' in front of it....its a rumor. If your great news starts with, " I just talked to a TMobile CS...." its a rumor. If you just talked to your friend, who works in a store or is a TMobile CS agent, its a rumor.
You'll either get an OTA on your phone, and recieve the update which you can prove with a screen shot. Or you'll plug into the LG support tool and update, which you can validate again, with screenshots...
All else is rumors. Please post all rumors in the HTC Sensation forum...where they are living the dream.
From P3 link to Droid world
"This is an even newer build of Gingerbread for the Droid Charge.
Known issues:
A small number of phones experience streaming audio cut-out when a headphone or jack is plugged into the headset jack.
Release notes: This is unofficial and a leak. Teamblackhat, Mydroidworld, and myself are not responsible for what you do to your phone. Installing this firmware will void your warranty and may cause harm to your device.
If you for some reason need to downgrade your firmware you will need to use the file from below to put your phone on an older firmware version. After you have put your phone on the below firmware version you will need to take several OTA updates to get back to the current firmware version."
This are the EP1Q Leaks,I have just downloaded have not flashed please refer to the thread EP1Q Issues, because there are issues with it. Remember to handle with care. Boot-loop abound…or worse
Stock EP1Q LINK
description: This Odin image has factory radios and kernel. The system has been modified.
P3 special EP1Q LINK New Link
description: This Odin image has factory radios and kernel. The system has been modified to fit TBH debloated specifications. TBH then added in Gtalk w/video, GoLauncherEX, the new Market, and more.
If you like it Donate to TBH
Other stuff you may need:
Pit file LINK
Odin 1.82 LINK
Factory ED1 LINK
Factory EP1H LINK
An idea of what you may have to do…
JKChad said:
Files you'll need:
Factory ed1
Factory ep1h
Factory ep1q (non special)
Factory pit file
Step 1: open odin, i use version 1.82. Plug up your phone with battery out and put it in download mode. Now odin should detect your phone. reinsert your battery, may not be needed, but I like to be safe. Now in the options area, this is under the id:com area, uncheck auto reboot and check re-partition. Now click on the tab with pit and select the correct pit file for the charge. This can be found in the droid charge development area. once that's selected you need to select the correct odin image. Click on PDA and find where you've downloaded the stock ED1 image and select it. Again, all of these files can be found in the dev section. Now click start and wait for odin to complete the flashing process. takes approximately 4-7mins.
Step 2 and 3: reset odin and disconnect your phone and reconnect your phone in download mode. For steps 2 and 3. all you'll need to do is uncheck auto reboot and select the correct image file( ep1h for step 2 and then ep1q for step 3). If you wanna be extra cautious, re-insert your battery before you click start. Also, I don't typical flash images through odin with my 4g sim card installed. No idea if it really matters, but I've "heard" of issues and don't want to chance it.
Once you've made it this far. unplug your phone and pull the battery and re-insert it. power up your phone and wait for the sammy logo. You should see the phone wipe a couple of files and then reboot to the samsung logo again. Then you should see the boot animation.
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible if your bork your phone up. Just tryin to lend a hand. Please please make sure you're comfortable with flashing odin and whatnot. This can and will make your phone a $650 paper weight if you're not careful. Hope this helps.

I havent done any flashing just downloaded read the EP1Q Issues thread link above for any info. I waiting for Humble 2.3 to do any flashing.
I've been running the fully bloated version since yesterday evening. Only real issue I'm having is my data connection coming back up after the phone goes to sleep. I did do a small amount of de-bloating myself. So, I wouldn't think that would affect it, but anytime I let my phone go to sleep the data doesn't seem to want to reconnect after I wake the phone. I can toggle data from the notification area off then back on and it seems to reconnect. I'm using the mobile hotspot for my laptop and as long as I keep a steady connection I don't seem to have any issues. It's only when I let the phone sit for a little while. I'm gonna reflash the stock ep1q file to see if it was just a bad flash. I'll post back up shortly.

You guys probably don't know this but guys like imnuts already had this leak at the same time P3Droid did. P3Droid just shares his leaks at the cost of his app, then releases for free after some time. There was a huge debate over whether it is right or wrong to "sell" a leak. I side with choosing that it is completely wrong to sell something that is not your work, that you just received from a Verizon tester. All P3Droid does is make Odins of test builds sent to phone testers for the phone. Anyone could do that. He has gotten better by shortening his free release time period but I still fully believe that it shouldn't be sold in the first place. Open source is free and those who respect it want to keep it that way. He also stole some things from imnuts when he released the first Gingerbread leak not too long ago.

to all who wishes to debate with this guy in defense of me, you are wrong and it is pointless.
All of those devs, Kejar, Danalo and yes even Imnuts got the file from TBH. He doesn't have his facts and speaks out the side of his ass. He is entitled to his opinion but if he truely felt so strongly he would not use anything that was released by TBH. Since he does then I take his complaints as mere *****ing by a petulant child.
From our (TBH) perspective it is a disservice to the community and those who enjoy seeing what is coming next, and in many cases improving the performance of their phone, that people like this poster continue to engage in this childish, immature, behavior.
So please enjoy what TBH does, because it will not be around forever. Eventually we will tire of this and move on to something else because of people like this.
I think we should just let this go and move on. Let's just enjoy our GB leak!

Where the heck did that come from? This whole thing was put to rest weeks ago. I am just saying what I believe. And honestly I couldn't care less if you guys stopped giving us leaks. Especially after EP1Q, what a garbage piece of crap that turned out to be. The puzzle lock doesn't work correctly, the Settings.apk is corrupt, and I'm sure there is a number of other problems. EP1H was more stable.

Crappy or not a new leak is always welcomed because it helps us push and improve our phones for users and developers combined.

If anything, EP1Q is a sidestep. Sure we got a better LTE modem but the stability of the Rom is crap.
That's like giving a Corvette a twin turbo but swapping out the tires for donuts.

or somebody with the app can dl then upload it here tonight its a official leak and p3 didnt create it. so he really has no rights to it thous making it suitable for anybody to re-upload.....just saying. why wait?
i really hate that it's no longer on the marketplace. bought the app way back on my droid x, and now that my credit card got cancelled i'm always out of luck on new releases. :l

To anyone that installed EP3:
Does EP3 have new radios? The EP1W has better signals, but I get that "data dropping" issue that people have been complaining about since this phone was released. I never got that on the EE4 radio.
Everyone hold your horses. Imnuts has a copy that came from another source and he tweeted if you wait until tomorrow he will have infinityrom with the ep3 base. Much worth the wait instead of getting it stock.

no actually i don't see anything wrong with this statement. but I am a bit surprised you do. So you are saying you see nothing wrong with somebody profiting from somebody else work that in reality its work they stole? we can call it a "leak" but none of us actually own it. We didn't create it. So by taking it, we stole it. No different then dl a "leak" movie work print. except p3 is charging for ppl to dl it a little early. Personally i think its a despicable practice but that's my 2 cents.
Look at it this way. Devs pass out custom roms that they work very hard to give us. They often pass them around irc for testing purposes. So lets say Imnuts or team gummy gives you a copy of their newest rom for you to test. You in return upload it to another server and charge ppl to dl early befor they release it. P3 is doing the same exact thing. You see nothing wrong with that?
Man these things come out fast. I'm just gonna stay on my Gummy 2.0 until the Nexus Prime is released and get rid of this phone.

Gotta say, I totally 100% agree with you. I hope more people in the future can get it from other sources.
Odin install or CWM?

Yep, we had this argument with most of the Charge users a few months back and it was like 60% in favor of it being bull$hit that P3 profits from stolen leaks. I personally don't agree with his tactics but we already had this huge discussion which ended pretty badly and abruptly. He got the favor in the end because he threatened everyone that he would stop giving us these leaks.
don't get me wrong I'm not saying P3 right or wrong....just saying too wrongs don't make it right...that's my point....
I just hope that nobody here is stupid enough to buy the app simply for early access to this leak. Aside from providing a leak a few hours earlier than the general public, the app is abso-****ing-lutely useless. Its an app that you buy solely for the purpose of obtaining the latest software for your phone? As the site says, the software provided is "sometimes leaked." So thats basically saying that they'll give you what you get from buying your phone or after receiving ota updates anyway, for a small fee of 2.99. And after looking at the site, its clear that team blackhat is just after a few bucks, and instead of making that money like most good devs do (by producing roms/mods/kernels/apps, and relying on donations made to support their work, or by selling useful apps on an app market), they try to dupe you out of a few bucks by offering you what you already have access to simply by coming here or going to other popular android forums. Or they'll unlock your droid pro or droid 2 global for 100 dollars, and for an extra 25 bucks, they'll even provide the shipping! Wow!
Don't buy the app for this leak. Wait a few hours and get it for free. Or wait a few hours more, and get a custom rom all tweaked up and debloated for free.
Is EP3 the 2.3.5 leak?

As you probably know, we just got our first full ICS leak, even though it was for the me865. I am not going to comment on how useful it would be for the rest of us other than it will not flash correctly so don't try. All the devs here are pulling it apart to see what can be used.
It is extremely important that everyone is checking cheesecake as much as possible!!!!!
our biggest hope is that we can pull a leak from the US servers with ICS and/or an unlocked bootloader. See the stickied bootloader unlock thread for more info. I am working on an app/ other way to automate the process even more so that it can be checked more often as the updates will only stay available for a short period of time.
Been checking like crazy for the past few hours.
Seems as though most of the "QA" servers are down, as of right now. Or is it me?
Also, I did get a "Your device is up to date." message off of master-qa500.blurdev.com
Maybe that's something to keep our eye on possibly?
EDIT: seems like most of the servers are down. Still checking though.
Yeah if you get the "setup wifi" message the server is down. If you get your device is up to date the server is up but nothing is on it.

Good to know. Thank you kind sir.
EDIT: Noob question about cheesecake, will it screw up my ability to get normal OTA updates? Since obviously it changes the server my phone looks on for updates?

If you switch back to the "Production"..."master-blur.svcmot.com" server, that should be back to the regular server that it would otherwise normally check. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...
Also, Jim mentioned a way to use something like Tasker to help automate this as well. If farshad525hou makes an automated app, that would be awesome. In the meantime, does anyone know how to get Tasker to do that? Perhaps I'll send Jim a PM to see if he could put a little description of how it's done. That way people (myself included) will have less of an excuse to be checking the servers .

I also would like to ask for some tip how to get that tasker do it's magic on cheesecake ?
I pm'd Jim last night and he said he'll work on a quick "how-to" for the Tasker automated Cheesecake (is there anything this guy can't do?!). He hopes to make a thread sometime today.

I've been checking cheesecake about every two hours since I got to work this morning. Haven't found anything yet but I have noticed more servers being active since this morning.
