Uh,Thats MY POINT. People jumped the gun to grab the cheesecake leak thinking it was going to be an official release. As its not rootable (and many people did lose root) they could have been permanently off the upgrade path with no way to fastboot back just like when a similar thing happend to the Droid Bionic. Luckily for them that wasn't the case but its a damn good reason why you should NOT be installing leaks from cheesecake.
 
Sucks for y'all cause I'm running ICS that's for the RAZR from Motorola! Its pretty stable a few bugs but very close to a finished product. It's good enough for me to not even miss GB and GB is real good on the RAZR! I never really thought that it would be released today maybe in a couple of weeks or a month from now.

Radios are strong, Blurwich is really nice, fast and smooth, and ICS is sexy! The overall speed and function of the phone is better. Quad GB 2500, Quad ICS 2900!

For me I don't need 181 not going back to GB but if their is a way(and I know it will) to get 181 and get back my ICS then I'm good but if not sticking with ICS!

Well any way I guess: I'm not in for the soak test as I still haven't got the 2ed email.
 
Dont know when the update will come out, but I DO know I got an invite to a soak test for SOMETHING. Didnt take it because I dont feel like factory wiping my phone unless I have to
 
Well, crap. Been running 181 for some time now. Boo hoo for me, no cookies in the coming days.

BTW, 181 is a very stable, functional build from what I've seen.
 
so then basically some ahole made a fake best buy image and put it on the internet to get everyone's hopes up, just to put everyone down when the update didn't roll out.

who would do that? it's really not that funny.

Um, no. That was a real picture from Best Buy's system. But, Best Buy (along with other retailers and even Verizon) often get that kind of information wrong. All it takes is the one person entering things to either not completely pay attention or to assume something beyond what they're told.

numb moment but does that mean we might infact be getting ICS?

No. emburybrett misunderstood what FragDroidX was saying. Both of them were saying that the version number for the leaked ICS update (which was obtained via Cheesecake) is different than the version number that is being pushed out for the soak test. It's not the ICS update.

The information Moto/Verizon shared with Verizon was almost certainly exactly right, WHEN IT WAS SHARED. These updates are a moving target. If development takes slightly longer then the expect, or it has one questionable test, it loses its OTA window to a different phone and the the date is suddenly wrong. That's a much more likely scenario than a typo.

All I know is that if I were putting out information for Best Buy, I would not write "ICS is coming to the razr, maxx, and rezound" unless I absolutely knew for sure. And the fact that the dates were different from HTC and Motorola is pretty specific. So I don't see how someone could just casually make a mistake with that. Just my opinion.

Very true in most cases, but in this case, it seems unlikely. It's a bit odd that they would say they're planning to release the ICS update, but then run into delays so they decide to push out a finalized Gingerbread bug fix update that they just happened to have laying around. I just don't see that as very probable. I suppose they could have had a finalized bug fix that had been canned sitting around somewhere that they decided to push out instead, but in most cases they would just delay the update and send out nothing. They'd have no reason to release something in place of ICS. It's not like there was an announcement or anything for ICS on the RAZR/RAZR MAXX.

Best Buy's information about there being an upcoming update was correct (just off by a few days, which like you said, that happens all the time). It's just the ICS part that I think was indeed a typo. It doesn't appear that Motorola/Verizon intended to release an ICS update at this time. There were actually people claiming this to be the case several days ago, saying it was a Gingerbread bug fix that was coming, but no one believed them since all indications (including the leak) made an ICS release look all but certain.

No one was "putting out information for Best Buy." It was a screenshot of their computer system that's intended for internal use only. The public was never supposed to see it. Things like this are not publicly released because they can drastically change at moment's notice. But an employee took a picture and uploaded it online, which they're not supposed to do. So it's not a "casual mistake." They were trying to prepare their employees to properly help customers who might have questions due to an update, and they were doing so based off what information they had.

There's no reason for anyone to get so upset by all of this. Nothing was ever announced or even the slightest bit official from anyone. No one lied or made anything up.

You said a mouthful right there..... Everyone seems to forget that NOTHING at all remotely official was ever released by VZW or Motorola regarding an update to ICS for the RAZR/MAXX.

This is an internet forum and hacking community's baby at this point.

Well then apparently you know your stuff. Upset isn't quite the right word...disappointed is. The odds of us suddenly getting ICS were quite low..but still got people's hopes up.

And the guy in the Blue Polo who shared this picture would probably be fired if Best Buy found out.
 
Where is the ICS update we were going to get yesterday? Checked phone today and no updates needed. Everybody talk about the new OS and cant wait and then somebody tells fibs I guess because they didn't release it
 
Soak test was out early part of the week... We probably will not see it until the weekend at the earliest. Heck it could be 3 months.. It is coming, I want it too..
 
Its not happening, Motorola is just now sending out soak test updates for .181, not ICS. Its going to be months before ota ICS. If you want ICS now with motoblur, use the leaked copy. Been using it and it's wonderful.

Or, the answer is no one knows when ICS will be released officially. May be a week, may be a month. There is no information from Verizon or Motorola. Everything is pure speculation at this point as it has been from the start.
