HTC releases the DROID DNA and One source codes
Sure HTC may be dealing with unprecedented shipping delays for its One smartphone, but that hasn’t stopped it from releasing the coveted source code for the anticipated device, as well as the DROID DNA smartphone to the general public. This means that all of you fiddlers and hooligans that like to “tweak” the device will finally have one of the major tools necessary to make the phone just a wee bit better. DROID DNA owners will no doubt be happy about this news, but here’s hoping that all One fans will be patient for just a little longer because hey— the wait will certainly be worth it.

DROID Bionic should be Receiving Jelly Bean in Q2
Who still has a DROID Bionic? Why? I’m kidding of course. It is a decent phone that seemed like it was going to be huge, but kind of fell flat somewhere. You DROID Bionic users will be happy to hear that Motorola confirmed that you will be seeing some Jelly Bean sometime in Q2. It is about time they mentioned when this phone is suppose to get that chewy candy. Seems that a lot of the other Moto DROID phones have been receiving their Jelly Bean updates, so I am sure you DROID Bionic users were left wondering when you would see your update. No exact date has been set on when Motorola will be rolling out this update, but we will sure let you know when it starts hitting the air.

HTC Planning to Release a Butterfly Follow-up, New DROID DNA Too?
When HTC first introduced the Butterfly last year, as one of the first devices on the planet to sport a 5″ 1080p display, our attention was grabbed immediately as it was identical to a device we had been tracking for months, codenamed the “dlx.” As you all know now, the “dlx” turned into the DROID [...]

Droid 4 Jelly Bean Android 4.1 Ready for Download
Not too long ago, we heard that Verizon had began doing a soak test with the Droid 4. They did not specify whether it was Jelly Bean or not, but usually when a device is going through a soak test, it is an OS update. Then finally Verizon gave the news that the Droid 4 was indeed going to be geting Jelly Bean Android 4.1. The OTA update was actually suppose to be rolling out starting tomorrow. Well looks like our friend the WinDroidGuy got his hand on the file, and you can now get it on your physical keyboard monster.
Now first things first. You must be fully stock on ICS build number 6.16.217. After downloading the file provided below to your SD card, you will need to boot into Recovery. Booting into recovery is simple. Just turn the phone off and hold down both volume down and volume up buttons plus the power button. Once in the menu, select Recovery. Once an exclamation point appears, hold down the volume up and down buttons. Now that you are in recovery, you must now hit apply update from external storage. Select the update, and BAM, you now have Jelly Bean on your Droid 4. Also for those you that are rooted and want to stay rooted, download Voodoo to make sure you keep that root.
Not too difficult, and hopefully you get it updated without a hitch. Let us know if you have any problems, and of course, let us know how much you love it.
Droid Charge Update Coming Very Soon
Verizon has approved an update for the Droid Charge which does a number of things for the 4G LTE device. After the update, your Charge will be on build number FP8 and have some great new features added. In this update, the Droid Charge gets a new photo editor, Recording Snapshot, and Vector Font. But the biggest gain comes from the removal of some of the dreaded Verizon bloatware. Apps like TuneWiki, Rhapsody, Blockbuster, VOD, and Mobile Instant Messenger disappear after this update which, if you don’t use them, should make your phone feel a bit new.
For an update that is only 20.4MB in size, this is quite an update so keep an eye out.

Jelly Bean OTA officially rolling out for Verizon DROID RAZR and RAZR MAXX Owners
The long-awaited bump from Ice Cream Sandwich to Jelly Bean for two very popular Motorola devices on Verizon is finally rolling out. Owners of the Motorola DROID RAZR and DROID RAZR MAXX will be greeted with the 338MB sized update file starting today and moving forward. It will move your device to Android 4.1.2 and bring along all the goodies of Jelly Bean, like Google Now and Project Butter. Hopefully it gives you and your device a new lease on life for a while.
Updates like this won’t hit everyone today of course. Expect it to take a couple of days or even weeks before all device see it available. Be sure you have a good charge o your battery and Wi-Fi is usually always recommended. You can attempt to ping the server for the update by heading to your devices Settings > About Phone > System Updates. No promises that it will pop up right away though.
While it is downloading feel free to check out the entire change log from Motorola. It outlines everything that is coming in the update for you. Some things might be more exciting for you than to others.

Droid DNA finally gets the S-Off treatment
Thanks to some resourceful users over at XDA, the HTC Droid DNA now has full a full S-OFF exploit tool. Having S-OFF (basically) means that the NAND storage of the device is opened up and able to be freely written to. With full S-OFF access, users can write custom ROMs, recoveries and other firmware hacks to the device, as well as obtain permanent root access. The exploit requires both root and superCID, and won't work on the latest update according to the poster (they're aware and working on it). You'll need to be somewhat handy with a command prompt or terminal, ADB and Fastboot to get it done.
If you're interested in going through with obtaining S-OFF on your own Droid DNA, hit up the source links below. Remember that while the process seems to be working, no tool is perfect and there are risks associated with any hack of this level (above and beyond the warranty issues).

S-Off Now Available For The HTC One X/L, And Droid DNA–Here’s How To Do It
So, you want S-Off on your One X/L, or Droid DNA? Done and done. Thanks to a crafty new “hack” by jcase and beaups, S-Off can easily be yours. As always, however there are a few pre-requisites, as well as some caveats to be aware of.
Firstly, you must have working adb and fastboot. If you don’t know what that is, a quick Google search can answer it, and tell you how to get it. Your device must also be rooted and have SuperCID, no exceptions. This is requisite.

Droid DNA to receive incremental update with several fixes and enhancements
The newest addition to Verizon’s Droid family, the HTC Droid DNA, is set to receive a minor update OTA relatively soon. It’s not a major update to 4.2, unfortunately, but it does contain quite a few other enhancements WiFi, Bluetooth, and audio quality, among other things. Regardless, updates are always a good thing. No official word on when this update is going to roll out to devices, but since Verizon has officially put up their support page, it shouldn’t be too much longer.
