Today though, multiple reports and tips have surfaced confirming that Motorola and Verizon have fixed the slew of issues that were actually causing this update to make devices unusable, and they’re ready to try it again. After multiple users devices were completely bricked and stopped working after this update, it was canceled, but now it’s back and should be rolling out to all devices.
