Gingerbread Download Here

I honestly don't know lol. You can if you want but I don't even know if I want the update until its rootable. I have been deciding if I want gingerbread or not since I use scripts to keep everything fine.

I forgot how long it takes for the phone to restart without supercharger since I uprooted my phone for a few minutes and I couldn't stand it.

Im debating if I care about tethering as 60KBps unstable kinda sucks and next week im going to get sprints 4g mobile broadband internet service since Verizon sucks where I live now. 2 cell towers under a mile and half and constantly at 1x and two bars signal strength bs annoyance. Im not leaving Verizon im just going to have two wireless contracts. Verizon for phone and 3g for on the go and sprint at home for.my laptop.

So im not sure if I would download it but im sure there are others who would and maybe with this soak gingerbread there maybe a chance to root it easier don't know how true that statement is.

I un-froze everything (only uninstalled Let's Golf, NFS, and NFL Mobile) and tried to install the update...crapped out halfway through. Did a factory reset and then my phone says no update available. Restored back to an old backup and then unrooted thinking that might be the problem, still nada, failed halfway through. Finally sbf'ed back to stock and phone is saying no update available. This is getting quite frustrating.

I didn't download the update from the Mediafire link because I had it being pushed to me, and now the new Rapidshare link you apparently have to pay for a Pro account to download it? ...sigh

Could it be that there is a signing issue with the 2.2.2 sbf that is preventing your update?
 
In my opinion yeah but others may feel differently. Its just as fast as supercharging and there are minor tweaks that make this update really smooth. I truly disliked my X2 so much prior to this update that I was debating whether to sell it on ebay. Now I'm in love with this thing.

Just because the build.prop says its 2.3.3 doesn't mean anything.

And honestly, all those wishing to update, just be patient, the update will be rolling out worldwide starting Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. Im not supposed to release a lot of information but hell with it. Im disappointed with the update.

For those wondering, this update did not add additional function. It did add additional bloat, with a nice (sarcasm) Verizon app store. It also did NOT fix issues with music popping or anything. The only issue it seemed to resolve is duplicate texts.

As for everything else, it appears to be almost a direct port of the DX 2.3.3 update, which proved to be very problematic. Also, I do not believe it is optimized for dual core -- all benchmark tests have decreased in score.

There isn't a whole lot of good feedback coming from the Motorola forums.

So, if I were you all, unless you were having duplicate texts, or simply hate the current t version, id hold out on this update and keep root.

I'm really disappointed we didn't get 2.3.4.

Moto and vzw hates us with a passion. And will do any thing they can to lock down our device and charge us more for services that are native to the phone. If I throw my phone threw a window they will try to figure out how to charge me for using the device as a brick and not it's intended purpose.

Give me root or give me an iPhone...

So you think that it isn't the real update and is just the X gb optimized for the X2? Because it seems pretty awesome to me

Well, after reviewing the build closer, this update posted seems to be the legit thing that was released to the soak testers... but the problem is, even the OTA that the soak testers received is still lacking. All it has is a little speed, minor updates, themed, and a fix for the duplicate texts. This is what the X should have been shipped with and we should be receiving 2.3.4.

The real way to confirm if this update posted is legit, is by asking if it has the new keyboard layout with the long press numbers on "qwertyuiop"

It does have the numbers integrated in the keypad. I agree though that it should have shipped with this update. Nonetheless, it is still leaps and bounds better than what 2.2 had to offer (stock) because 2.3 actually operates functionally

this sucks i want gingerbread but my phone is running fast with good battery life using minimalX, and I like root....Does this update have the revamped motoblur?
 
I hate asking such noob questions, but why wouldn't Gingerbreak work to root this version? It's what I used to root my X2 before, and wasn't it designed for Gingerbread? That's what the post on XDA says.
