Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to ICS too... But it sure seems like a LOT of people are talking the word of a leaked (i.e. Who knows if it's true) screenshot from BB as PROOF that ICS is supposed to be here today.

No official word from VZW means that people are getting overly excited for something that's not likely to happen today.


... someone had to say it...

I would guess since this will be a large update that doing a reset will be the best course of action. But I do not know the official stance, seeing as nothing official has been said that we are even getting an update.... ;)

Unless you made any Root related system mods (flashed ROMs, Recoveries, Hot Spot hack) You should be fine with NOT resetting your phone.

Me too but my phone is rooted-if there is an update will it show with a rooted Razr??

If you're not running the stock ROM you won't get the notification.

If you've deleted any bloatware or Verizon apps, then you'll probably get the notification, but it will fail to install.

If ALL you've done is rooted, then it MAY work, it depends on what Verizon/Moto chose to look at during the installation.

Personally, I've taken my back to non-rooted stock so that I'm sure it will install correctly.

Thing is.... Not too many who were part of the soak test even got in on the first round because moto pulled it since everyone was cheesecaking their way in. So who knows where it even stands? Everything at this point is PURE SPECULATION. And people are getting all antsy as heck. Until we hear from a reputable source that either the soak test has started or that the update has gone live, there is no sense checking every 5 minutes for an update. It's silly.

Especially when there will be bugs. I've been through this enough times to know that It will be awesome, but there are reasons it's not released yet. ;)

I must say, I've been on it since Sunday morning and I have yet to report any bugs. I have had one random reboot probably 20 minutes after installing.

Also I was stock from the day before, downloaded about 11 apps. Used OTA Root Keeper, temp unroot, install, restore root and it worked.

I've got a backup that should work perfectly once the time comes.... :D

Thank you for your insight... I hope it is bug free, then it will roll out to the masses sooner, and without many issues!

I have an old backup I'm going to restore, then do the root keeper, unroot, restore root after as well. Seems like most are having the best luck with that route at this point.
 
I just got off the phone with verizon tech support and they say the update we are expecting Is nothing more than a basic systems update. The guy told me ICS It's still a month or longer out.
 
And another wrench thrown into the fun

True. But you could have waited a little longer to do it. The day is not over yet. I will sit here in this pumpkin patch until he arrives, Charlie Brown.

Nothing wrong with that. I even flashed back to stock so I could be ready for it if it did arrive today!

I'm just seeing a few upset people (no one specific) who seem to think that a leaked document and a cheesecake leak mean that ICS is supposed to be here today and are rallying the pitchforks and torches and are ready for Armageddon should the update NOT arrive today. :p
:cool:

It wont let you look for update right now on 4G or 3G you have to be on WiFi?..even at 20mb/s there is no way for it to install the new OS in that time. I also know that flashing roms with tools like clockwork recovery takes less time then the update and just to flash roms can take 10+ mins.

Too bad my internet regularly pulls 58-63 mb/s download and 30ish mb/s upload. So take this into account...
 
I am a new member and it is telling me I can't post URLs or pictures until a certain amount of post. Any ideas as to how to get the pictures to you guys?

I used Voodoo and temp un-rooted and then did a factory reset. So now I am sitting on stock .173, unrooted and have all of Verizon's bloatware intact (but hidden in the stock app drawer). I have a lot to reinstall after the reset, but I am going to wait until Moto and V send me my sammich. Although not gonna worry about it until I see others getting the OTA.
