The Moto page they are citing has been up since the soak went out. It's not an indication that the final rollout is in progress.
Nothing for me at 3:04PM

I think android authority jumped the gun on this one. Usually in the past we have seen the real OTA come out about 10 days from the start of the soak test. And they usually give the soak 7 days to go though.
Especially since they have listed for the OTA is :
Version History
Current version is
55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US
Version
Date Released
Release Notes
55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US*
February 2, 2012
Will it matter if my A2 has no sim card in it?

wait, so this isnt a beta test?
where ppl write about bugs on moto private forum, and then fix it and the final comes out?
because 10 days isnt enuff for that.
that leak has a handful of bugs i know of, and im just one user...

No a soak, is just a way to get it in the hands of several users to make sure it does not explode peoples phones, or turn wifi off or turn the radio to hell or anything really odd like that. Usually a soak is very similar as it is in IT, to where you turn it on, and let it run for a few days to make sure nothing catches fire, or dies right off.
If nothing like that happens, then it will be released as an ota in about 10 or so days, bugs and all.... and then the bug fixes will come in a month or so after.... sort of like our 2.3.6 was a huge bug fix to our 2.3.5.

haha - thats a decent way of explaining...
From what the devs/mods on the moto forums said, it'll only be a few days before the OTA is released. Somewhere around 3 days from SOAK start.
Matt/Mark (whichever one is there) said that this is basically a test to make sure the update will install.
I'd say it will probably be official soon. All in all, we know ICS runs pretty decent on our phone, no major bugs, and can install on a clean system. What's left?

not for AT&T - i mean the instructions are going to be the same, but since its not available on AT&T, when you go to the homepage and select USA as country - the last update shown is not ICS, its GB...
EDIT: hankbizzo5 is also right - so those instructions are for international atrix 2 users (where ICS has already been rolled out) on stock 2.3.6. it will be similar for AT&T only when it hits here. so if you are modified, you need to fxz back - check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1909319

I may be mistaken, but https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/90004 looks like it is referencing an AT&T upgrade, as the file is 67.21.125.MB865.ATT.en.US. I'm not an expert, but I assumed that the ATT part in the filename indicated that it was an AT&T update, but maybe all the updates are labeled that, I don't know.

Will Motorola ever release Android 5.0 soak test for the Droid Maxx ?
For the love off all that is Pure and Holy, do 5 seconds of searching, like I just did for you, before asking a question... Google. Google is your, and therefore our, friend.

Soak test and actual public release is totally different, so yes I did do a little search and only found that Motorola is releasing 5.0 to the Droid Maxx so take your stupid little comments that no one really cares to read and am sure someone would of asked the same question.
SOAK TEST.....
If you are signed up to be a tester then you will get it. Or wait a few hours and a kind gentleman who violates the user agreement will post it in XDA developers.
I signed up for when they released 4.4.4, I just was wondering if the Maxx will get the test just like the x,g.
No we're not gonna get a soak test, we're not getting Lollipop either because i didn't do my research!!!!

Motorola has already said that the Maxx is getting 5.0. Motorola always does a soak test before release, but you may not get chosen to be a soak tester. Either way, by the end of about a week or two after you start reading rumors of a soak test, you'll have lollipop on your phone.
And, as already posted, there hasn't been a soak test yet that hasn't leaked within a day so you can manually run the update yourself.
I suppose it's possible that Motorola and Verizon will update the phone without a soak test, but they never have before.
Thanks for the response, I really appreciated.
Motorola just called...
They told me that the soak test rollout will begin tomorrow night, 9 pm sharp.
Apparently there's a soak test for the Pure coming out soon. Anyone get this email? I was disappointed I didn't! It'll be interesting to see what it's for... Fingers crossed for Marshmallow!
http://www.droid-life.com/2015/10/08/moto-x-pure-edition-receiving-first-soak-test-update/
I got it but when I tried to fill out the survey, it said what I entered in the field for IMEI or Serial Number was invalid??
So much for "non-disclosure" lol. Hope they don't pull the test since it's all out in the open now. Here's to crossing my fingers it's M
how do you get invited to a soak test? Never heard of it
Just filled out the survey, hopefully It's marshmallow.

On the Motorola support forums front page they explain the process of being invited to test early software. Simple process to opt in to.

In the past probably half of the people (on XDA) that receive these "soak tests" don't even sign up for them. The real thing usually comes out within a week anyway.

I would guess those of us that got the bootloader unlock key from the Moto site were automatically skipped over.
I am going to wait to unlock and root until after the update.
Definitely would be awesome if its marshmallow already. Keeping my eye on this thread

not skipped but if you have unlocked bootloader and have rooted/custom recovery you wont be able flash it unless you return to stock
I did joined the said group few weeks back and opt in but didnt get the email. Oh well lucky people got it. I hope this is an M soak test.
Just in case the soak test OTA will be published over here, are we able to flash it to?

Hi. Me and the other developers have been trying to get our hands on the new Android 6.0 boot.img. If anyone is running the soak test people please PM me.
Thanks

Did they actually start the soak test, or is it still the test drive?
Does it benefit you that much to have a pre release version? If you want to make roms, why wouldn't you wait until the final version of the software is released? I know that, usually, a soak is very similar to a final release (and who knows with these "test drives"), but not always. And since the 5.0 botched release caused several problems, why wouldn't you wait?
None of us got it. Unless the few people who beta-tested it not (soak tested) it.
Its against NDA so no one will bother

Could be that no one has it. Remember it is a small test group that got it. Soak is not live yet (maybe). Plus people agreed to be quiet about it so even if we got an invite it wont be public. Either way we all will have fun in a few weeks

Its going to be stock android 6 + moto assist, and android 6 is a refinement of the already stable android 5.1.
Want to know what it will be like? Watch this and imagine there is a moto assist app in the app drawer

LOL. Thanks. Already familiar with MM from my N6, more curious about the specifics of MM on the MXPE test drive, such as stability, doze improvements on our hardware, completeness, etc

Well it was too prepare. They want to get a mostly stable version before they push it to the super soakers to make sure the 5.0 bricking disaster doesn't happen again. From what I have read we do NOT want them to rush things. Once it is safe the soakers will get it and then everyone. As long as it is within a month I do not mind if it means smooth and mostly bug free
I welcome the caution of Motorola. Or maybe they are already soak testing but the group members are so good they are keeping it on the DL

I can confirm the 5.0 disaster ... It was Lollipop massacre ... It happened on the Moto G (First Gen), one of the first moto device to receive the lollipop update through Soak test ... the image was leaked and people started flashing them, there were some minor bugs in the image, and whenever people tried to get to stable kitkat, or stock Rom in order to get official update their phone got permanently bricked ...
There are major changes in the Bootloader during the major android updates, so it's best to take precautions and wait patiently till someone confirms a proper procedure .
I can confirm the soak test isn't fake.
Didn't want to share this whatever.
Added HD Calling
Added Wifi Calling
Added Band 12 support
Visual voicemail not built into the dialer app
Spoke with a T-Mobile tech support for the problems I was having with my phone I asked about when we could expect a software update like AT&T and Verizon got he told me between the first and 2nd week of March but take it with a grain of salt but we'll see
Please realize T-Mobile employees usually have no clue what they are talking about. I'll take that comment with the entire great salt lake...
Always depends on who you talk to. Occasionally you get that rare gem who is actually passionate about what they're talking about. Or you get someone who just tells you what you want to hear.
That said the timeline seems to be right for a March release.

Updated both my wife's and my G4 hen it came out. The down side was the whole bootloader unlock wiping the phone. I made the mistake of not backing up my contacts prior to updating a d had to restore my lollipop backup so I could back them up to my sd card and then go bacl yo Marshmallow. The other thing that I don't like is the way Marshmallow handles sd cards, fyi, there is no adoptable storage on LG/T-Mobile's version of Marshmallow and the sd card fix does not work on Marshmallow and all Titanium backups will need to be put on internal or it won't backup cause it will tell you that the backup on external sd is not writeable. Over all I liked it just switched phones cause I thought my G4 had major issues last weekend and neither me nor T-Mobile could get my phone to make or receive calls to or from my wife, daughter,. dispatcher, or my boss after 3 and a half hours of trying at a store and I had to have a working phone so I upgraded to the V10 and love it.
