So is 2.3 out for real or was it a hoax?

Sounds like a small GB soak test. (bet billy wishes they had done that with WinMobile 7 updates...)

I installed the OTA, and the launcher isn't loading...just a black screen. I'm about to SBF back.

Give it a few min.. it took a little bit for my launcher to come back up, finally it asked me for my security and all is good... I think it has to setup all the icons in the new launcher and setup the profiles.

btw this has been a great firmware so far... Granted I've only had it on for 30 min, but it's super clean.. Loving the look, the extra features.... If it only gets better from here, android will remain #1!

Just read this: Verizon: Droid X Gingerbread rollout has not begun - Computerworld Blogs

Starting to sound like they were just testing OTA and probably sent the update to the wrong phone.

When i called i told them my sister got an update that she didnt know what it was.... after about 10 minutes or so of probing she confirmed that they were planning on starting update process on DX and that it would be silent to avoid server and bandwidth overload.

Dont believe call em and say you got it.... or your brother did and they will ask you to look at system info... read the 2.3. 3 to them and hear them say yes you got it.

Also she said something i am a bit confused on.... i asked if a leak could come via ota and she said yes.... she also said that if you take your phone to vzw they can tell if you received an ota update and regardless of what it was it DOES NOT void warrenty.

Lastly she said that google and moto can push out updates without talking to vzw first....

I know you guys arent going to believe so if you can point me to an app that records calls i would be more than willing to call again and record.

But with me they confirmed that gb updates are set to be pushed out to small numbers at a time starting today

Rename the file update, and just drop it in your sd card not in a folder just on the card

So we should name it update and not update.zip? I also already have an update.zip on my sd card. Is that a problem? What should I do with the older update.zip?

How do I put the file on my sd card
