Day 1 Software Update?

[Stang68]

Hey guys,

My brother got a DROID Maxx today and the second his phone was activated, it received a software update. Any ideas as to what it fixed or what it was for? Just thought it'd be worth asking in here! (I'm secretly hoping it was a software tweak for the camera processing).

I got the same update, but couldn't find a changelog. There was a URL provided (http://www.verizon.com/droidmaxxupdate) but it's still showing "page not available" as of tonight.

The system version jumped from 12.7.4 to 12.7.7, that's about all I can tell you.

I saw that too. I'm postponing it just in case its not advised for root purposes.

never had a non-rooted phone, so may be a basic question - if I take that update, does a factory reset revert the software back to the version the phone came with? or is it like a permanent thing? Also, any way to get it to stop bugging me for the update?

Link is to Verizon .pdf about the update, which contains all of the following:

KEY DEVICE ENHANCEMENTS

DROID ULTRA AND DROID MAXX
SOFTWARE VERSION 12.7.7.OBAKE_VERIZON.VERIZON.EN.US
Verizon Wireless is pleased to announce a software update designed to improve the

Based on that list of updates, I'm not sure why that couldn't wait for a more comprehensive list of fixes at a later time...
