If anyone (like me) went to a Verizon store last fall with ‘issues’ and had the SIM card switched out you may have to “Factory Reset” to get the update.

after NUMEROUS calls to VZW and Motorola i was finally told that my phone wasnt ‘authorized’ and they suggested a factory reset. I reluctantly agreed to do it and it worked.

of course, its a bit of a pain getting it set back up again but not as bad as i thought it may be.

Checked for system updates a few times everyday since Dec 13 and got the ”Check for update is not available at this time. Try again later” message every time. Finally followed the advice of some others on here and did a factory default setting. When it was done I checked the system updates and there it was. Finally. Pain it the ass but it’s done. I hope it was worth it.

I’ve been told over and over by Verizon and Motorola, it’s coming, it’s coming. When I check for system updates I get, “Check for update is not available at this time. Try again later”.

Here’s the latest…

I was rooted using Pete’s Motorola Root Tools. Before I got the OTA I unrooted. I finally was able to download the OTA file. When I ran the install it would start and then flash an exclamation point in a triangle and then just reboot my phone. I tried to reroot my phone but it says that it can’t. I keep getting this message when I run the root software again.

“adb could not be granted root access. Try again from start but if the problem continues, check your version of GingerBread – hopefully you don’t have a version where this exploit was fixed.”

Now what? Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions?

My wife asked me to root her Bionic yesterday. Problem is that she had applied this update, and now I am running into your same problem. Has anyone developed a workaround to root after this update?

I searched around and found the following method to work:

For the last few days I was getting the update unavailable deal. Called Verizon, they said wait a week motorola its pushing it out in batches (as usual), and Verizon had no control of the update. I was starting to believe that there was an issue with my phone, not only that I am too impatient to wait. So I did a factory reset. After the reset was complete and the phone was back online I checked for the update and it worked.

I’m in Atlanta and still dont have the update! curious how they decide who gets it and when? what is the time line until everyone gets it.

those of you that did get it….was it sent ‘overnight’ and you had it in the AM? that’s what someone told me.

thanks

My biggest complaint is when I’m not on 4G I almost never have 3G signal. I mean like 95% of the time I have no signal. Was anyone else in my boat before the update and has that been fixed? I keep 4G off to conserve power but then I am totally out of data service, its crap.

Also not all thumbnails load in pictures, they start loading and as I scroll I start getting blank tiles. Has that been fixed?

couldn’t be happier with this update. no more headphone whine and crackling/popping/clicking with netflix. excellent signal strength, great shutter speed on the camera. no longer feeling like i’m really missing out with the upcoming (?) gnex launch.

Ok so here’s my question, now with the update would one say now more than ever it’s a worthy upgrade. I have a new every two $50 discount plus the living social $50 deal and since it’s now $199 was thinking of getting this or holding out for the Nexus
