Here you folks go. Off of my phone to you. http://www.multiupload.com/YOXKQ18YW0. You Must have 2.1 with the 3.6 Update. I would recommend making a backup before applying. Use at your own use. If you get a Status 7 error, see my thread in the General forum on how I resolved it. Have Fun!
how is it? faster than 2.1?
Oh yeah. More bloatware, but that's easy to remove. Internet speed is faster. Phone is more responsive. Nice to have the Hotspot feature now. Overall a worthy upgrade. Now to wait for 2.3
can i use this update for my finland rom 3.42? or this is just for TMo version?

Would you happen to have original t-mobile 2.1 in sbf format?
Unfortunately no-one has one for the US. I'm guessing you updated to the leaked version? The good news is that if my suspicion is correct a nandroid backup of this should play fine with the updated firmware. If you look at the difference its minor. 34.4.9 vs 34.4.4. I have not yet had the time to make one yet. I'll try to do so tonight.
What did you have to do with the update.zip in order to upgrade your defy? I'm on 2.1 with the 3.6 update, I'm rooted with superoneclick, and I have it copied to the root of my sd. Did you use clockworkmod recovery?

Its an update zip file signed by company so you should enter stock recovery by power+vol down and then select update from zip.
hmm... how about flash 3.4.2-107 TMobile US Blur with RSDlite and then
update.zp?
Just tried it. No go.
It checks for the right build fingerprint before it continues. You need to have 6.36.0 or it aborts.
The Nandroid backup theory mught be the one that works...

Thanks for the update.
...... I just want something official now
( I am on official Chinese 2.21 build 1.11, it is fast, specially when you skip Blur registration. But, just in case I need my phone service by t-mobile .... )
The leaked T-Mobile SBF was fast too.
But yeah, an official one would be better.
If the Nandroid method doesn't work, I hope someone posts an SBF soon...

As for right build fingerprint, yes you are right. It is picky as hell. In the other thread I also mentioned that it is checking for apps. For example, I have Blockbuster disabled....it checked for it, didn't find it, and failed. I spent over 4 hours last night getting this to a point that it would work. Way Way too much hassle. Unfortunately I don't think I'm going to get to do a backup tonight. Was up way too late last night/this morning working on this and put in a 12 hour day. As soon as I get a breather I will. Sorry.
No worries!
Is there any way to edit the build.prop file so that I can get the update to work?

Unfortunately I don't have an un-updated Defy in front of me to pull the strings. I'll look at one of the ones at work tomorrow. If you read the error though it should tell you exactly what it is looking for. Mine did. Aslo try deleting the logwrapper. The was one of the holdups on mine.

I just loaded this update.zip on my fiance's Defy...didn't wipe data or cache, it's booting right now....stuck at the T-Mobile "Stick Together" screen, waiting for the initial long boot
EDIT: Booted, running 2.2.1 now! So far so good, it's a little slow but it would be while it catches up. I have an Atrix and it's almost the identical interface.
can you make a sbf file of entire build?

just flash the update.zip...why bother with a nandroid?
Hello, today I've noticed that my phone (Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket) had received the updated ATT ICS (US). It downloaded successfully without any issues. At the current point, my phone is rooted with the stock ATT Gingerbread OS, with clockwork touch 5.8.1.3-hercules.tar. I never bothered to install any 3rd party unofficial ROMS because I was waiting for the official ATT ICS which apparently released today. Anyway once the download completed, my phone restarted normally and went automatically in to CWM which was expected. From there, I chose "install from zip", apply /sdcard/update.zip. Right after that I get an error message "Can't mount /sdcard/update.zip", so I click "Go Back", I then select "Mounts and storage" > mount /sdcard, and get "Error mounting /sdcard!".
I've tried doing this also with a prior version of CWM (prior to 5.8.1.3), but I've got the same issue. I've also tried to plugin my phone to my PC and looking for the update.zip, so I can manually transfer it to the root of the phone's file system, but it was not there although it downloaded. I do not have any additional external SDCARD installed.
Could I possibly get the update.zip from an official ATT hyperlink for my phone so I can manually download it on my PC and transfer it to the phone's root file system?
Is there a Fix for "Can't mount / sdcard"? I looked around but could not find an answer.
Please advise.
wait...what? release today?!?
Are you sure it's ICS and not UCLA3 yet again??
Also, I'm pretty sure you need to be on stock recovery in order for the update to work.

O.K., your join date is May 2012, you only have 1 post and I'm to believe you have a rooted device, ready to upgrade to ICS, yet what really sticks out is that this is the only time you've posted.
Well, the file that downloaded file was way over 200megs, probably 250-280 and right after, the the download, my phone restarted going to CWM. I may just backup my data and restore everything to factory so see the update complete. Not sure if anyone had the download available. Not sure if the location matters, I'm located in South Florida.
Thanks for the prompt reply's btw.
Yea regardless, as skrambled said, nothing is going to work unless you're on the stock recovery. Think about it, its an official update and cwm is a custom (unofficial) recovery.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA
I got a prompt for an update was well today, it took a while to download and same thing happened, it went to CW on restart, I am also just rooted, no custom rom installed.
upload the update.zip and post here? i'm sure someone can verify the build it is and would be good info to have.
I'm doubting soooo much right now. When a reliable source confirms, or u post a screen shot with a different build number, then ill believe
just checked....
i have no update on my skyrocket...Boston mass area....

I did apologize for my rushed opinion, I now apologize to you my friend....
Originally, I got hyped up about this update because I knew that around this time, we all should be expecting the official ATT ICS, and since my friend T has a huuuuuuge hard-on for Android phones, he was sure that the updated that downloaded on my phone was ICS, so I blame HIM for giving me a false positive! If you are reading this T, it's ALL YOUR FAULT! See how many people had to click on this pointless thread!
I was supposed to be part of the soak but for some reason my phone is invisible to the Moto update servers and they cannot push the update to me. I have the update file someone gave me a link to download. I have two questions about how to install it.
1. Since I am rooted can I just put it where Moto would have downloaded it to and then my phone will update it like it got the OTA?
or
2. If I install it off the SD card will it just do recovery first and then display injured android man, and then have to reselect the zip package again to finish instlling the update?
I would prefer method 1 if possible. If one of the devs or a knowledgeable person could respond I would appreciate it. I'll give Moto about six more hours to get this straightened out, otherwise I am tired of waiting to get my Atrix 2 onto ICS.

Where does moto put the zip file so I can try putting it where the OTA would have downloaded to? Then when I go to check for update it should say an update is ready for installing. Do they put it in the cache directory? Someone who knows please let me know. Thanks.

Yes, it is /cache... but I think you also need the .crc file of the same name along with the actual .zip - not positive though. And, it can take a little while for it to recognize it - but I have done it that way, by putting it in the cache folder - also, it will disappear if you reboot.
But, you do know what you are doing, right? There is no fxz yet...
---------- Post added at 08:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 AM ----------
Edit.. since it's the same files as leak#2.. for the .crc file, you could just make your own if you don't have it:
-Just create a new blank file with notepad++
-Add this as the first and only line (no blank lines after)
Code:
3114145323
-Then, save it as Blur_Version.55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US.crc

Yes, I know what I am doing. I used to develop roms for LG P999 but have not played around with my Atrix much. LG does their OTA updates very differently and downloads them in pieces all over the place so no way to use the method I am suggesting for the Atrix. I don't care about being able to fxz back as I just want the phone on official ICS; but I do appreciate your caveat. Thanks for the reply.
If anyone has the .crc file please upload somewhere so I can grab it. Thanks.

Thanks. I will give them a few hours to get to work and see if my phone is visible to the update servers now that I have done an FDR as they requested. If so, I will just let the OTA do its thing. If not I will manually update my phone.
Also I do not think you can be rooted to update the check will prevent you from updating, also you have to be as close as stock as you can..... Meaning all bloat must be unfroze.....

Could the fact that you're not in the US, are now unlocked and on another network have something with failure to get the OTA!?
You can be rooted. The update asserts only check for the original system files to make sure they have not been modified or deleted. It does not check for extra files like superuser.apk or busybox. Rooting is not a problem. I set superuser to OTA protect and it worked. After the update my ICS was still rooted without me having to root it.
For the person that wants the leak the OTA is leak # 2. It is exactly the same. Just find thread with download link for leak # 2 and you are good to go.
Would installing beats audio drivers using the app be considered tampering with system files? And would it prevent me from receiving a ota?

Sorrry but what mean FDR? because I'm in that situation: Im not in US and I have the phone unlocked, and I'm using it with other operator... Is just ended the soak test?... because the phone say me "Your phone is updated, Is not required a update in this moment" (Translated from Spanish) when I look in Settings -> About the phone -> Update, and I'm have the system version 55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US.

You have to be someone that was invited and filled out a survey about six weeks ago. If you are you need to go to the Motorola Private forum. Go see how others are requesting it (not allowed to really talk about it). FDR means Factory Data Reset and it is an option in Privacy in Settings. It erases all your user settings, app data and you are back to square one like when the phone came out of the box. For many people it was required to get what they wanted.
If you were not invited don't worry. Usually the official rollout of the OTA will come within a week of a soak test if no problems are found. It is the same as leak # 2 so just look on this forum and you can install that manually. The release is solid so I see no reason the OTA won't be going live to all AT&T Atrix 2 devices very soon.

If I root using these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943851 will that stop my Maxx from getting the pending OTA?

Thanks for the response, but I've been told OTAs can't be continually refused (like after the 5th decline, they will update automatically). You seem to be stating that if I decline the OTA, it will not update ever.
If I'm understanding you correctly and I decline the OTA, will it continually prompt me to do it?

Looks like there's a few ways to block OTA updates. Installing a custom rom does, but you want to keep it stock, obviously.
You can edit your build.prop file to "spoof" the current version so it doesn't try to update you. Do a search for editing build.prop, I don't have the exact details on hand.
The specific line is ro.build.fingerprint= but you'll have to wait until someone has the update installed to find out what the new information after the = is.

The leak might not, but the soaktest should. I would imagine it'll be on some phones in the next few days. Just make sure you get the line from someone with the same provider.
Having said all this, I have my older Defy running JB and it's an improvement over ICS. I personally am looking forward to the update. I feel a little like they didn't do as much optimization on ICS as they could have just because they knew JB was coming soon after launch.

Edit for better info: The download, "Update (0.7.2.en.US) has been downloaded and is ready to install."
Can I still root using the prev mentioned method if I install this?
Any other options to prevent the JB OTA?

I decided to wait over night to see if I recieved any other options here. This morning I found an "An update has been downloaded..." message.

My error, I meant to say "You have to accept *to install* the download." I did read that it'd download anyway, unless you already had the version spoof in place. If you intend to root, root first, then use VooDoo OTA Rootkeeper (from market) to backup your root before update, and restore after update.

Congrats to all those looking forward to the 4.1 OTA. I'm happy for you. However, I just got my Razr Maxx HD and I'm happy with it as it is.
If I root using these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943851 will that stop my Maxx from getting the pending OTA?
If not, what else will I need to do?
Thanks in advance to all willing to help.

Not sure the reluctance to dl jb. It's faster than Ics, and you can keep root.

JB is nothing but pure improvement. Absolutely no downsides. That's why people are foaming at the mouth for it. And 0.7.2.en.US is just an ICS update.

I appreciate the info on (0.7.2.en.US)
From another forum, I found this advice:
"I renamed my OTACERTS.ZIP file to otacerts.zip.bak ... and this stopped updating on my DI2.
The OTACERTS.ZIP file can only be modified by ROOT users, and it's located in: system/etc/security/otacerts.zip"
Would this work?

yes, but the problem with that solution is that it will keep downloading the update over and over, it'll just fail the certification process prior to install, and it'll eat your battery doing all the repeated downloads. You are welcome to try it though, and report back your results please.

LOL, I'll take your word on this one (thanks again).
OK, next idea: Use Tit Backup to freeze updater.apk
or
FOTA Kill
What do you think???
So I just got a notification for my update. If any developer wants it just let me know and I will send you a link to my Google Drive.
Does it tell you what the update version is. That is very helpful to them. My guess is its J which they have already.

Really? I didn't check or know how. I used the kdz for 10i a couple of weeks ago and I took the 10j update. Rooted from there and have only been flashing 10j roms. That's why i thought it was new. How do i check?
If so I feel retarded, haha. I thought I was helping out.

If you click on the notification it should give you more info on it (Haven't actually clicked on one since JB so don't quote me on that lol) or you can pull the update from /cache and upload it to google drive and send me the link so I can look at it. (Dont put the link in the forums cause people tend to flash first, question later why they leap before they look).

K, I'll send it to you shortly. Man i thought I was special! Hahaha.
But wouldn't it be kind of weird for me to get that update? Since I'm already on 10j?
I just sent it to you check your p.m.

I just checked my pm. Didn't see a message other than my old ones. But I'm guessing its a disappointment for me?
@Tilde88 or another will have to look at this. I tried numerous ways to extract this (I'm on Windows and am not familiar with messing with python on it, keep getting Command "bsdiff" is not valid, don't have dual boot on Windows 10 for a Ubuntu OS to do android related things yet, haven't had any motivation for anything these days) but I at least see it checks in the updater script if your system is NRD90M before it proceeds.
I just cant see an update so soon after J. We all know how good LG is at updates as well as source.

Ok thank you man. I'm sorry I didn't mean to stir this up.
Could be a security patch.

The zip was downloaded today by OTA. Hopefully not security for preventing root but security for bettering the system.
No update on this?

But remember with OTA updates people get them at different rates.

You are right, but I also remember with 10j, everyone seemed to get it within a day on TMO.
But you may be right if another one is out.
What size is the zip file?
It's strange why I would see an update on my phone. I am on 10j everything (bootloaded and all) and still got that update.
whats the model after the update
This was the update i took. Also, you can still root just fine.
