Guys,
I was wondering if it possible to unroot My Droid X that has 2.2 OTA from Verizon? I tried to unroot with a few root/unroot problems but once I reboot the Black Ninja is still there and I'm still rooted. The only reason why I want to know just in case I might have to return my phone to Verizon . Thanks in advance.
There may be an easier solution but why not use RSD and the OTA 2.2 SBF. I know it is not a complete SBF for OTA 2.2 but it should reload the OTA 2.2 system files thous removing root and restoring the phone back to OTA 2.2.
Do you know where I might be able to get the 2.2 OTA ? THanks.
If you follow this link you should be able to get RSD as well as the SBF file needed.
The 2.2 sbf file is just the system files without any apps? Would I be able to get the official 2.2 ota once I flash with the.2.2 system only sbf?

The SBF should be the system files so I would think it would have all the stock apps with it as well. To be honest I haven't tried using it to see what it restores but like I said I would assume all the stock apps should be reinstalled with it I would imagine.
Then what's the difference between the official 2.2ota sbf that isn't released yet?

I'm on the 2.3.320 leak, not going to .340 until an SBF comes out.

if you're on tranq 3.5.1 you're already on .340
I guess I am glad I didn't upgrade to .320
Sort of....
I had no idea Tranquility 3.5.1 had 2.3.340. I donate to several ROM teams (why not) and I am looking to see what Team DeFuse does with Fission 2.3->2.x build, hopefully it will include 2.3.340 soon. I really like the speed of their ROM.
so basically this .340 update is the same as the leak version? so if i manually somehow updated to this .340 am i able to use the latest sbf file?
3.40 is not the same as 3.20!
Personally, I'd like to know what the difference is between the two. I have the 3.20 leak and the 3.20 sbf but can I use them once i go to 3.40?
If there is any difference in .320 and .340 (beyond Madden of course) it isn't readily apparent. Someone can try doing a diff on the system files between Tranq 3.5.1 and stock .320, but the bootloader and kernel are the same. The baseband hasn't changed at all since 2.3.15.
When is the update going live?

As per Droid Life>>> DROID X 2.2.1 Update Will Be Available Tonight?
My question is, will I see the update?
I have flashed the leaked VRZ_MB810_2.3.32_1FF_01.sbf, I am not rooted and haven't removed any apps.
If u updated with TBH leak version you will have to wait for there patch or fix or whatever it is they are doing before you will be able to get the OTA.
I just got the DX update. I never signed up for the feedback network either. I pulled it.
Anyone know if we should hold off? dont want to lose root for good....
can you post the zip please?
Installed the update and lost root. It's also rebooting into clockwork recovery after powering down and back up. Reboot system option works. I was just rooted, no ROM or themes.

if clockwork mod is working then maybe you can reroot with an update.zip?
someone i follow on twitter @bandroidx says he has the update.zip
thanks but I mean a download link for the update.zip like @ megaupload/etc. He just says he got the update thats all. I keep getting download check not available.

Afraid I don't have this. I do have a nandroid backup and the .320 sbf. Can I restore the backup or flash the sbf if need be? Don't want a bricked phone...
Am pretty sure that I am booting into recovery because of how koush's bootstrap works. It was installed and since I don't have root it can't complete it's thing. In this case it might be a good thing
Z4root is supposedly working, try that.
I want to get off 2.3.13 and go to back to OTA updates, Ive tried searching and finally gave up........I want to download a SBF to get me back to stock so i can get the latest version. I believe my phone was on 2.2 OTA, bootloader version is 30.03.
I have RSD 4.8, Im rooted, have root explorer.
Long story short I deleted some factory .apk's and I flashed this SBF (2.3.13) to update OTA......not realizing it wouldnt fix my problem. Learned my lesson and to turn them to .bak's next time.
please help!
If it's some bloatware you can always get it back on the moto page

I have all the bloatware on and working.......i think that 2.3.13 is one of the leaked versions and it wont allow me to OTA update......it doesnt even show me an update is available now with the 2.3.13 build
If you're on the froyo leak, you need to flash back to 2.1, then take the OTA updates
If you are on boot loader 30.03, then you need to flash the sbf 2.3.15
oops, didn't see the bootloader was posted, my mistake, 2.3.15 is the correct sbf
I thought there was some bootloader problem thats why i put the info in the post.
Thank you guys, can someone PM me some info on where to find the SBF for 2.3.15.........Ive had no luck googling it.
now officially bricked the phone trying to fix this.
Im in need of some serious help here. I can still flash SBFs but it says mem-map blank service req'd. I downloaded the SBF from
from phoxus gift 2
I have no idea what to do now

+1 on that
Did a little digging, but can't find my exact problem.
I'm on the leaked 2.3.340 using the update to 2.3.320 update, followed by the SBF to 2.3.340. I would like to update to the OTA, but need to know if it's necessary. I've seen posts about updating the kernel, radio, and stuff. Did the SBFs not update these files?
I attempted to use the 2.2 OTA SBF to go back and update, but that failed. My old nandroid of the 2.2 OTA is failing to update (it downloads, but reboots saying failed update). What should I do?
Is it just the patches that you want?
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...ystem-baseband-2-3-340-kernel-bootloader.html
Awesome, thanks. I'll scan that thread to figure out what and how to update.
I used the 2.3.320 SBF and then used the system updater in that link I provided for. 340. I don't know if it makes a difference since we both got to 340 in a different way.

Well, because of my upgrade method all I had to upgrade was my kernel. Working like a dream now.
Perfect. Glad you got it working.

I am currently running a leaked version of 2.2.
Does anyone know if I will be able to get the ota update to 2.3 that's rumored to be coming out soon?
Thanks
From what I read, no, you cannot go directly from a leaked version to OTA. You will need to sbf back to stock froyo (will all bloatware intact) before you can get the OTA update. There is a link somewhere in the forums to the sbf files.
My kernel is 2.6.32.9-gfb07887
android version: 2.2
system version: 2.3.9.mb810.verizon.en.us

Wow. To be honest, I have never seen that system version. Anyway just go to the site I mentioned above and look for the droid x. You also could probably use a file called madderstock.zip which will accomplish the same the but I do not currently remember where to find it
U can find maderstock file here... Its a flashable .zip ... Same as sbfing your phone just apply using dxbootstrap

Google search sbf droid x 30.01. Lol that was my bootloader when I permanently bricked my first DX. But thats a different story.
You could try the newest sbf file as mentioned above. I actually am not sure if it will update your bootloader, but I haven't tried it so I would trust the person who posted it
Here is the info you need:
http://1kds.net/SBF-Page.php
You will have to get to system 2.3.340 to get the official update. You will need to be stock (you can have root). You have to have all bloat replaced, no bootstrap, and odexed. An sbf will do all this for you.

US Verizon Droid X running Froyo
Rooted last year using z4root.
Now I want OTA Gingerbread.
unrooted using z4root.
Check for updates. Download. Reboot. Shows Android unpacking animation, then yellow !. Reboots into Froyo. Update failed.
I have never frozen anything. I'm going to try setting keyboard back to stock (update: update still fails). Do I need to uninstall any root apps (Wireless Tether, Titanium Backup, Swype beta, AdFree, Webkey)?
I don't want to do a factory restore if possible.

The files are more than likely still there from when you rooted.
Backup the thing you need (not including system data) and SBF back to 2.3.34.
From there you SHOULD be able to restore your backed up things, or you can take the OTA then restore.
WARNING: If you take the OTA it may take you to .621 which I DONT recommend. You shoud probably just SBF to .602, reroot, and stay there.

Thanks!
I found this guide to SBF from 2010... is there a more current process you recommend?

Can you explain a little bit why not go to .621?

You can't flash any roms or root from .621. And it is impossible to downgrade from .621 to any other firmware.

Can you point me to a current step by step guide of how to SBF to .602?
From what I've read in the 2010 posts, it seems pretty advanced and didn't always work. Maybe it's been streamlined by now?

He could SBF to .602, run OTA Rootkeeper, then take the .621 update.

yes but thenwhat if while flashing roms he happens to bootloop... then it is sbf to .621 and no more root. The general consensus is to avoid .621 like the plague until an exploit is discovered.
Thanks everyone. I think I'll try SBF to .602. I found a video tutorial here:
youtube.com/v/QkYsD4w8rHg
I'm still not sure why I can't get the OTA .605. It downlaods and reboots, but keeps failing to install. Otherwise, my phone is relatively fine (currently on Froyo). I am having trouble getting root back since I removed root (used z4root). I just wanted to backup some things before going to .602
