Default New update for Electrify 2.3.5, Caution if unlocked!!

There's a new update for the Motorola Electrify that gives you 1080p video recording and prevents you from removing Motorola's bloatware and unroots the phone. If you have unlocked your bootloader you might want to skip it, but if the phone is just rooted it should install. I tried to update and I got the green android with a exclamation mark inside a triangle. I had to pull the battery and restore my back I made through CWM. If you just try and reboot it just tries to install the update again. You can root it again using the torpedo method, so I've read, I've not personally tried it.

I was part of the trial update team and I can tell you that after the update I still had root. I lost root about two days after the update, not sure why...but then used the torpedo process again and rooted no problem. Have had no problems since.

Motorola does big things for any carrier but Sprint, I'm surprised we even have this phone on Sprint. They LOVE Verizon, what do we get squat!

Why can't we have 1080p recording?

I have my bootloader unlocked, that's why I believe mine messed up and had to restore from CWM. I'm on USCC and probably won't ever switch. We supposed to be getting ICS after the first of the year. I can't wait to try it!

Did this update also add the video chat feature though g chat?

Is there anything else new that got added? And does your led light work as advertised in the book?
