I got the same error message… I figured it had to do with my device being rooted. I was wrong… Perform a factory data reset, and then after logging in to G, immediately perform the update. It should go through problem free.

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”.

does anyone know a time line on this? just called Motorola and the rep i spoke with said you should get it within five days of the 9th. when i reminder her that it’s been TEN days since the night she said “I’m not sure when you’ll get it then!”

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?

Didn’t have any troubles with OG Droid connecting. Frustrating. Still haven’t received the update as of today.
