Droid X update this morning to 4.5.605.en.us

**pixelsyndicate** · 09-21-2011, 11:53 AM

heads-up... just got a System version update for DroidX.
My sys version is now 4.5.605.MB810.Verizon.en.US

the alert I received stating it was downloaded and ready to install was that it was 4.5.605.en.us

I was rooted, but now am not. going to see if I can re-root.

Good luck & thanks for the heads-up. I've been waiting for that shoe to drop, and I did get a notification late last night that an upgrade was available. I suspect that was the 605, but it didn't perform the update.

I just went and renamed my updater. apk file to updater.apk.bak in the hope that will prevent it.

update to update:
I was able to swiftly re-root with "DROID 3 easy root script v7".

I was a bit concerned there may have been some shenanigans with the way VZ detects wifi-tethering, and I see they must have put in something because now using WiFi Tether causes my browser to display the selfprovisioning page for 3G hotspot...

I tested Wifi Teather last week, before the update, and got the same page. Safe to say that "feature" is dead for now. I hear some readers saying "Challenge Accepted" and can only imagine that this will soon change.

I have not seen the upgrade yet, I just checked and it was not there. What does this upgrade do if you know.

thanks

Fixes keyboard issues... no update here in Az.

**maricopa1963** · 09-21-2011, 08:54 PM

Update available now in Az.

**jerseyboy357** · 09-22-2011, 12:07 AM

For Wi-fi tethering, try a market app called WiFi Tethering from OpenGarden, Inc. Seems users on the X(as well as other devices) are having success with it.

If I were to update, because I am rooted, will the Motorola One click root still work for me?

I updated to 605 last night. Lost Root as expected and got it back with the Motorola One click. You're good to go for it.

**guitarmantyler** · 09-23-2011, 05:15 PM

Just updated here in CA. Hopefully it fixes the Swype "force close" error I frequently get.

**bman123** · 09-24-2011, 04:13 PM

This update fixed my reoccurring data loss. My 3g would cut out until I did a factory reset now its working great. I never had any keyboard issues so I can't comment on that

**spun2u** · 09-24-2011, 07:51 PM

I'm attempting to download the update, but the install keeps failing.

Not sure why, I'm rooted but that has never caused an update to fail before.

**rexster314** · 09-24-2011, 11:52 PM

If you're rooted, the update won't work It didn't in my case either

**Finsol** · 09-25-2011, 07:47 AM

Im just wondering if someone can link me to motorola one click everyone's talking about.

Received the update this morning, did not need to unroot to install it. Lost root access, re-ran the Easy Root script and have root back again. Easy stuff.... phone's been a bit "quirky" recently, hope this latest update smooths it out a little.

No custom stuff, stock GB, rooted with one click

**jmlivingston** · 09-25-2011, 10:55 AM

It was an update to apply 119MB worth of fixes to the stock keyboard issues reported by users. Crashes, freezes, lags, missing commands, etc

**robocp4** · 09-25-2011, 12:44 PM

well i dont use the keyboard that was on the update i had to download a diff one that i like better

**-IRON-** · 09-25-2011, 01:52 PM

Im already done with craparola after waiting this long to actually use my stock keyboard. It went haywire with gingerbread and i had to buy thumb to use my phone. Not fixing the keyboard issues after all this time just cements my opinion about motorola.

**cyberchief** · 09-25-2011, 02:56 PM

Question for you all. I was rooted and had just a couple apps Frozen with titanium pro. I completely forgot about it and got the update and ran it. Lost root and nothing seems to be broken. Gonna try and run the root for droid 3 tomorrow. Anybody think i broke anything by not thawing apps?

**TheDroidLurker** · 09-25-2011, 03:42 PM

well, I've tried to take the update twice now. Rooted stock .602. No dice. I unfroze all my bloat, downloaded, and the install tried to reboot, went straight to the standard boot animation, then proceeded to go through a series of endless reboots. Had to work fast and reboot into cwm and clear the cache partition. That stopped the reboots but I am still unable to update.... hmmmm. maybe I should try the TBH sbf .602 file. Then take the update. What a pain.
