[Q] Nube Rooted Question

Hey guys
I have been rooted with the Apex 1.4.1 rom for some time now. Recently, I read that the droid X will possibly be getting updated to gingerbread. If this is true, will I have to unroot to receive the update?
Thanks in advance!

No you don't have to unroot but you will have to flash back to stock in order to get the update OTA (it will unroot you by updating). You can do so with a nandroid, sbf, or maderstcok. Or you could just update manually when the update is released, assuming that there will be an update soon.

is there isny way to downgrade to 2.1 in RSDLite?

i want to downgrade my droid x back to 2.1
i have the 30.04 bootloader

It's impossible to downgrade to 2.1. You can, however, downgrade to 2.2 if you're on 2.3.

No, it's impossible to go to 2.1 overall. It uses a different bootloader version.

oh many thanks,
yeah thats what i was thinking,
could you help me on making it go to 2.2 or refer me to a post.

Search for a '2.3.340 SBF' file, and a program called 'RSD Lite'.

You cannot go back to eclair. It just won't work.

Google droid x sbf linux cd and you should find the easiest method to get back to froyo.

Google:
"fre3vo downgrade root mytouch 4g"
Or just read the first couple of pages on the forum. It has been mentioned already a hundred times, probably.

To reroot at this point you may have to downgrade then select a gingerbread sense rom from the dev section. Some of them are pretty good. If you still don't want to, you'll probably just have to wait it out.

One way would be to sbf to froyo and then upgrade via ota. I don't know if there is a gingerbread sbf out there. Search the forum for how to sbf and google for the file.

The 602 file is rooted stock. On the tbh app or at mydroidworld or probably on here. Sbf to froyo,root,bootstrap, install 2 part 602. Stock rooted.

2.2?

Hi guys. I am in the process of flashing a ROM for my wife's D2. From all of my reading on here, it seems she should be on 2.3. However her system is still 2.2. Am I misinformed? I've hit the system update on her phone, but it says her phone is up to date. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

2.2 = Android verion
2.3.2 = Verizon update

I'm in the same situation, I'm on android 2.2 and system update says no update available. ..

You can be rooted and still receive an update, correct? I know you would lose root privledges, but I am trying to remember if I had to unroot or not.
I'm not able to get the update either (which is basically all I should be writing in this post), but I'm going to just attribute that to my flashing the tbh all in one back to froyo.

I think you need to be unrooted and have all stock apps.

So what's the update really I mean,i have android 2.2 and I think the gb is not released officially am I wrong?i have ee4

Android 2.3.3 aka Gingerbread is now available to all via OTA.

Since when, cuz a few days ago I was stock on ee4 now I'm on gumny and never saw any update msssage

I'm rooted, and the update downloaded by itself. Of course, the only way I'm gonna install it is when a version of cm7 GB is out that has amazing battery life.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App

Which that wouldn't even work bc its not rootable.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App

The CM7 has a version for the OTA GB. I've been running it since I ran the OTA.

Root using D3 method, then install the latest CM7 Nightly. I'm running it right now, overclocked to 1.3ghz. This phone is stupid fast and the battery life is killer.
