Soak e-mails have gone out apparently

Haha, not even 24 hours later a couple people are saying they got soak emails.

Either they sent them out REALLY early or I call BS. Cause it was still being tested last week. They've never sent out soak emails that fast. So, I don't trust that.

[SamuriHL]

Don't forget, soak emails don't mean much other than there is a soak test coming. For the D4 and RAZR it took almost 2 weeks after the emails were sent out before the build was pushed.

Got my soak test email. 2 weeks isn't much time to wait Looks like its time to put HoB to work and return my phone to stock.

I just wanted to stress to people that soak emails do not mean an immediate push of the update. People are getting all excited. It means it's coming, but, doesn't necessarily mean when.

On top of everything...If I am mistaken..I apologize..but we have NO IDEA if we will still be able to retain root. Somebody is going to have to be the guinea pig!

[SamuriHL]

We can retain it. That's not the question. The question is whether or not we have a working exploit. I'll put together a post about all this soon.

Sorry...there has been so much talk about what the HD folks are going through plus the fact that I wasn't sure if the smart actions exploit would carry over to the Bionic or if we were going to have to do something entirely different.

[SamuriHL]

We don't know. That's the part about exploits needing to be tested. But you can retain root through the OTA.

But we don't already have any working 4.2.2 builds! We need 4.1 now!
All joking aside, I am pretty excited to have HDMI out working again.
I'm pretty sure big red saw your prediction about the timing of the soak test. No other way to explain that

VZW doesn't control the soak test. Moto does. There's only one explanation for the soak emails going out so early. If the soak comes this week I'll be shocked and it will confirm my suspicion.

What is your suspicions SamuraiHL?

That this build didn't go to VZW for approval. But we'll see. If it doesn't get pushed to soak testers in the next 2 weeks, then that's less likely.

That would be interesting. I'd be surprised that they wouldn't at least try to get verizon's approval.

[SamuriHL]

Think about the timeline though. We know it was in testing at Moto last week. If it went to VZW for approval, that's a 2 week process.

[Notc]

I'm not doubting that it happened, I mean I'm surprised that they would have taken that route.

[SamuriHL]

You've been around in the other thread....so you should know how this game is played between Moto and VZW. IOW, it shouldn't be shocking.

[Notc]

I'm not too shocked, just thought they would try to get approval first, then do this if they didn't get it. But can't complain about them skipping that step.

[SamuriHL]

Just speculation on my part. Definitely not a fact or anything.

[Mr. HQ]

Mother Flower! I'm ready to take OTA from Moto/VZW anytime. My safestrap is running on pure stock 4.0.4 (.246)

BUT! Will the rooting process be different....

The Bionic is a Bad Mofo!
