Issues w/ Android 2.3.3/4.5.596 (Official Gingerbread OTA)

I had the same issue with the lock up after the GB update. Did a few battery pulls and it comes back but only for a little while. Can't get to factory reset screen.

I just got the GB update you can't be rooted or you are bricked you try to force your phone it will become a brick... And you can't re root which also of some bull **** but I'm sure soon there will be a new z4root or something so that once again us root users will be rooted once again so once again if you dont want to get rid of your beloved root apps I would recommend to wait until GB is rootable

sorry guys, just looking for some help here. Went to update to gingerbread and now i'm stuck at red circle with a white m and it wont let me go into recovery. Any suggestions?? I have a feeling i'll be heading over to verizon on my lunch. Any help would be awesome. Thanks!

I have made the same misteak. I am not rooted, downloaded the ota upgrade and it has trashed my phone. The only way I can turn it off is with a battery pull. When I do that I see my icons but when I push one the whole screen goes black. I have contacted Verizon by phone and visited a store and they will do nothing for me but send me a refurbished phone. I am definitely not happy

Have you tried waiting for a long period of time before restarting because on your first boot with gingerbread it has to configure all the new and up dated files and if you battery pulled you probably corrupted necessary booting files so you would be officially screwed unless you sbf'd your droid which I've never done and couldn't tell you how to sorry bro

I upgraded early this morning. I thought all went well. When I got to the icons I attempted to access one. When I did the screen went black except the bar at the top. The only way I can tur off the phone is by taking the battery out. I called Verizon and they were no help at all. I went to a store and they were less help, They are going to overnight me a used phone. I am definitely not happy. Anyone have any suggestions?

After my blank/locked screen, my fourth battery pull got me far enough into it to do a factory reset. The reset set it to gingerbread and I am now redoing all my settings which is time consuming but I probably needed to rethink my apps anyway.

Am I the only one who still has their camera default to WS instead of 8MP no matter how many times I change it?

No, everyone's phone does that.

If you wanted a rooted version of the official GB update, you have to install the one that's already prerooted:

Ditto. The factory reset has cured all the lagging. It just sucks that I'm re-customizing everything when I should be working

(1) When one views "Accounts," one's Facebook account is no where to be found (i.e., it's not displayed); however, when you try to "Add account" and choose "Facebook," one gets, "You can only have one active Facebook service account at a time." w/o one's Facebook account visible under "Accounts," how then can one go about modifying and/or removing an existing Facebook account?

i had the same issue after i upgraded to 4.5 i did a factory reset to fix it. however, My new issue is the links to the users facebook profile in the contact list do take you to facebook but not the users profile.

Anyone seeing a failed update? It made it through the download and rebooted probably went a quarter of the way and the triangle with exclamation point rebooted and reported failure.
