Some users of Motorola’s Droid X have been able to manually download and install the Android 2.3 update for the Droid X that includes Motorola’s Moto Blur UI.
Initially, a user on the Droid Life blog reported receiving the update OTA for his device, although it appears that this was a random update as other users have yet to get the update officially OTA. Subsequently, a version of the OTA update that had landed on the lucky user’s phone became available as manual download, but the link to the zip file has since been pulled.
The build of the Gingerbread update that arrived was a later revision than had previously been seen. Labeled version 4.5.588, the build will only work on devices that have not been rooted and run the original installed OS, Blur 2.3.340. While it was available, the version of 2.3 that has been circulating did not offer root access, although community members have been working on the build to restore root access for those who need it.
With the manual update now pulled, it appears that users will have to wait for the official OTA update to arrivem although Verizon’s official site and blog currently show no indication of when the Gingerbread update will become available for Droid X users running Android 2.2 (Froyo).
