i guess no repplies or no ideas well let me upgrade my post so i did factory reset .. and my phone didnt go back to 2.1 stay on 2.2 it did clear all the other applications but im missing the ones i deleted .. blockbuster .. and voice mail. and verizons.. those kinds .. i try to do OTA and it fail... do i need to find applications witch the phone came with and try to upgrade or how can i go back now to 2.1 stock ... ???
A factory reset does not reinstall stock apps, all it does is delete user data and apps. You need to sbf or find a stock odexed rom.
I had the same problem. I downloaded the "back to stock odexed".zip from 928droid.com and was able to install the new OTA update afterward.

ok that helps more. ill try to find the odex rom and try to donwloaded like you guys said see if that works thanks ill keep you updated ...
im not rooted right now can i used these two ways .. iether with odx or sbf ???
I believe you have to be rooted to install themes/roms. (in reference to the 928 back to stock odexed).
Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

Right, you must be rooted to flash
If you're not rooted there shouldn't be any problems accepting the OTA
I tried to do the 928droid back to stock to do the update and it didn't work and I didn't remove nothing.

So I have a quick question. I have a rooted DX still on 2.2 leaked (not official). I have the bootstrap and Clockwork updated as well as busybox. I also have the BlockModz status bar from ROM manager installed. So here is my question.
Can I .sfb back to 2.1 and not cause any issues or do I need to do something to get me back to STOCK 2.1 . Any help would be appreciate. Thanks Nick
If you have never applied the 2.2 official OTA update then I believe you can sbf back to 2.1. However, I think you need to make sure you wipe data and cache after the sbf completes. You should be able to search for the complete procedure to sbf back to 2.1 from 2.2 leak.

I know how to flash back to 2.1 with sfb using lite4.7 . I have no issue with that. I just have never done it after installing a custom ROM so I wanted to make sure the ROM wouldnt cause any issues.
Ok, being the noob that i am i didnt back up the original stock rom on my phone so now im looking for the verizon stock rom for 2.2 Android. I bought the phone in December. Im not sure what version but i think it was the 2.3.9 not sure since i didnt make the back up. Anyways, if someone could find out the original baseband and system version for 2.2 and post it for download I'd be very greatful.
And for those of you wondering...yes i did use the search function and tried to look for the answer myself and heres what i found:

http://mydroidworld.com/forums/droi...ystem-baseband-2-3-340-kernel-bootloader.html
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:Motorola_Droid_X.png
but anyways this is what i need to know:
1) which of these do i use abover where do i download the Verizon Original Rom i Had on my phone when i bought it in December?
2) what tools do i need to reload it and with instructions.
(**currently i have the z4root/droidx root recovery from koush)
Well if you are root then down load rom manager from the market inside that koush made a stock, but rooted rom of 2.2 inside there. Other then that I would need to know what is the bootloader version, and the system version to help any further.
Yeah I finally got my phone restored to factory but it still shows the 2.2 .1. Version intead of the 2.2 but at least my phone ia working proprly now...I may just back this one up instead and run my themes and stuff

hi guys, i have a rooted droid x running froyo 2.2. today i got the option to update to 2.3.340 but when i go to install the update i get an error message saying it failed. Ive done some research before writing this thread. I have all the bloatware, nothing has been deleted or renamed. should i unroot and try again? thanks for your help. Adam
You can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869007 you have to flash each image one at a time. Or you can sbf the version your on and do the ota update and then reroot.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
thanks for the reply. the link you sent me is a little confusing to me. given i may brick my phone i dont think im gonna try that. do you by any chance have a link giving me the files needed to sbf the version im on?. thanks, Adam
I can't link but they are on drewgaren . com in the category sbf and root.

So the gingerbread update is supposed to come out tonight, and one of the suggestions from moto. Was if your rooted to flash back to to stock software, im on the stock rom and stock everything but with a few rooted apps installed. So should I flash back, or can I just unroot with z4root unroot button. Thanks for the quick reply
sent ftom my rooted droidx
If you care about root, I wouldn't accept the update until they root it. No one knows for sure what exactly will keep the update from working on your phone. If you want the update, Froyo stock unrooted is the safest bet.
There is a thread on what you need in this forum
Thanks for the reply I do want the update, im on the stock froyo with stock kernals. with some rooted apps installed, so I can just hit unroot on z4root and it will uninstall rooted stuff?
sent ftom my rooted droidx
Yes, did you ever flash clockworkmod or bootstrap?
If all you did was root, use z4 to unroot.

Yeah never flashed with clockwork or anything, the most I did was change the boot animation using root tools but I put it back to the stock one, been waiting for gibgerbread for awhile lol

Cool thanks for advice, unrooted my phone and will wait for update

You may not be able to get it rooted however. Be careful
Still telling me update not available .. I'm guessing its due to me deleting the bloat wares.. I've not flashed or cloaked worked anything.. Just root. Delete wares..
Before Froyo, I was rooted and stock everything. (I really just wanted wi-fi tether and titanium backup). the OTA still worked fine, obviously I lost root, but I didn't lose anything else. Assuming you haven't flashed a new rom nor deleted stock apps, you should be fine. I don't think there's a way for the OTA to differentiate phones if they have the same basebands...
Ok this explains a lot...
If people aren't able to update.. this maybe why..

Be careful. You won't be able to upgrade if you deleted bloatware as it checks for system integrity before updating.
Thanks for testing it for us! Running nice and stable on apex, going wait and see if the new "bugs" are worth updating to.
Hello guys sorry if im posting in the wrong place but anyway. Is the official gingerbread stable enough/no bugs and **** to use daily?

I would really like to use a custom rom but im a bit scared that i would break my phone.. Is it hard to install the Aurora ICS? Is it ok for daily use? Also i dont know if im the only one but when i try to install almost any app from play store i get a" couldent install app on USB memory or SD card" error. Phone is unrooted.

just follow the guides and you will be fine..
some apps need rooted phones to work properly so you need at least to root your phone then you are fine...

Downgrade from 2.3.5 back to 2.2.2
1) Download U8800 V100R001C00B138SP04 (Overseas General) Android 2.2.2 from HERE.
2) Extract the "dload" folder and copy it (along with its contents) to the ROOT of the SD Card.
3) Turn on your U8800 while holding [VOL-] and [VOL+] and the Android 2.2.2 install should start.
4) Once finished you should be back to 2.2.2.
5) If you phone does not boot correctly power on phone while holding [VOL+] to boot into recovery and Reset to factory defaults.
6) Delete the "dload" folder from the SD Card.

Btw when i upgraded to 2.3 i used this one here and it went pretty smoothly.
Well now i installed Aurora 4.1 how do i install the update 1a now? Also i have Saunalahti how do i do that with the connectbot? Didnt really understand it :S Calling is working atm i think.. but mobile internet doesnt
Download connectbot and open, Click ssh left side bottom and select local and use a nickname when the terminal opens type
su
setprop persist.eons.enabled 0
And reboot.
To install update 1a just flash it with cwm.
I tried the connectbot but do i have to save it somehow after i wrote that or just home and reboot? Also i've checked my APN settings they are as they should for Saunalahti :/ Got an R over my signal idk if im roaming :/ im at home internet wont work *_* Im on Aurora 4.1 atm u think it would help if i flashed 4.1 update 1a?
You can try but since you had this prob from the official update you better try reinstalling the official again
Also try this see if your net connects when you turn on data roaming if it does that means you are on roaming some how

umm what official should i try then? Im from finland so.. Is it just to do the exact same thing as when i upgraded from 2.2.1? Or do i need to go back to 2.2.1 first or sumfin like that?
first try a master reset if not helpful then just try doing it without downgrading if that doesn't work try it with a different official update and if that too doesn't work then try downgrading and upgrading again.
How do i do a master reset? Also i saw the downgrade guide on that root ,CWM etc.. but the link is dead
settings>backup&reset>Factory data reset
