I fully anticipate having a new Quad Core phone before the BIONIC get the ICS OTA update.

Me too. I figured ICS would be released pretty quickly. Such a bummer.

I'm not part of the soak test group, but for the past several months, whenever I've tried a system update I've gotten the message "System update is not available at this time. Please try again later" as opposed to seeing "Your system is up to date". I manually installed the .902 update and Im forever rooted. Does that have something to do with the message I'm getting or do most people with a BIONIC get that message if there is no update?

You should get the system is up to date message, the not available message means something is wrong. Start with a battery pull and sim card pull. Start it back up without the sim....then shut it back down and put it all back in.

You da man Tonik! Worked like a charm!

This post intrigued me enough that I FXZ'd back to stock and signed up for the soak test.

I am hoping it was a worthwhile thing to do *LMAO*

 

[Dave12308]

Absolutely nothing yet.

Looks like I unrooted, undid my safestrap, and lost my overclock.

All for absolutely nothing.

They haven't even sent out the follow up emails yet have they?

 

[Dave12308]

Nope. And that's what I meant. They made it sound like the MEID list was going to be submitted imminently, and if you did not unroot ASAP you were going to be left out. I didn't want to miss the "surprise" that Shadez was alluding to, so I went back to stock as soon as I got the soak test email.

Turns out, I could have enjoyed my 1.3GHz Bionic for a few more days, before going through the whole FXZ process.

I'm getting to the point where I am tired of Moto's secrecy when it comes to updates, while other manufacturers are more open. Moto is starting to remind me of RIM.

They are being a bit misleading there. You will get the soak or OTA just fine if you are rooted. I always have. Now if you have some frozen bloatware or deleted some bloatware it will certainly fail.

 

[Shadez]

Still haven't received any follow up letter...

 

[Arkbird]

I'm still waiting on an ICS leak for the Bionic...
