hey all-
looking for someone who might have a wiped (factory reset/data) OTA 2.2 nandroid. i was stupid, jumped the gun and flashed sbf back to 2.1 and ran the OTA update... didn't have any issues with the update but the phone just ran like crap after... dropped calls, random reboots, wifi fighting with 3g ect... i luckily saw the info about NOT flashing back to 2.1 from the ota... but doing some "trouble shooting" with a verizon rep, when he had me do a battery pull i noticed i booted to bootstrap recovery, i rolled the dice, hoped a nandroid backup would cause the issues a 2.1 sbf did and went back to a leaked 2.39 froyo. phone has been flawless since, but im starting to wonder if im forever stuck in "limbo" and if i get to the point of returning the phone, id like to be able to do that with the ota... ive seen several clean nandroids of the 2.2 leak and thought if anyone was running a stock 2.2 ota... factory reset and nandroid?

i could make that for you, it will be rooted of course, with some slight build.props in there.
Check my thread. >>> Deodex OTA 2.2 <<<

I'm currently on the leaked 2.3.15 and wanted to know if I restored your nandroid for only the system, would I be running the OTA without updating anything else like the bootloader?

thanks a ton... is this with a factory wipe, or do i need to wipe after boot?
and wouldn't the stock OTA be odexed? would verizon be able to tell the difference?

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?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
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've read some Android Forums but I can't seem to get my answers...
I need help updating to 2.3.340
I'm new to rooting and deoxeding my phone so I apologize If I have alot of questions....
I am currently on 2.3.15 , rooted and deoxed. My phone keeps prompting me to updating to 2.3.340.
Questions:
1. Should/Can I allow the update to take place automatically?
2. Will I lose my root access and will my phone not be deoxed?
3. Do I need to revert my phone back to stock then update automatically?
4. Is there a link on how to update to 2.3.340 when you have a rooted phone?
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
I'm also curious. I'm on the 2.2OTA-Rooted and my phone wants me to update.
1. Should/Can I allow the update to take place automatically? NO!!! not while it is as you have it now.
3. Do I need to revert my phone back to stock then update automatically? YES and be sure to uninstall any program related to rooting your phone before reverting to stock.
Kapi187.. Hope you don't mind if I add some questions to your thread... It seems our questions are running along the same lines.
I too have been reading quite a bit about the upgrading process and am trying to figure out a few things.. Likewise, some of them may sound "noobish" but please bare with me...
My understanding is that the 2.3.34 update is available OTA (I am currently running 2.3.15 as well).. Is it necessary to revert to a stock sbf (what does sbf stand for?)?
A breakdown of my current setup:
system version 2.3.15
Android version 2.2
Running JRummy V1.0 Rom
Odexed
rooted (obviously)
clockwork recovery installed (also obvious)
image available from pre-rom condition
How should I go about updating to 2.3.34? Is it necessary/ is there a purpose? What are the advantages to doing so?
I have a friend with a Nexus One and he doesn't need to update any system version so we have been discussing back and forth trying to understand the droid x/verizon system.
All help is greatly appreciated... And hopefully this will help others.
Not at all p3p... ask as many questions as you can... helps me out too..
I too would like to know what .Sbf and the other one stand for... lol I can't remember what it was...
So after we revert back to Stock.. (any link as to where to find the stock file?) Update automatically... then we follow the same procedures to re-root the phone?

What I would do is SBF using the full .320 file and then do the .340 system only SBF and you will be on the most current version. Then download z4root its a one click root app which will give you root obviously. Then customize your phone to your liking.

Um - if you are running 2.3.15 I would not recommend doing the sbf with the .320 file. I am just trying to be helpful -not a butt.
I would use the full sbf released for 2.3.15 which can be found at...
http://rootzwiki.com/index.php/Main-Page/Droid-X-Full-2.2-SBF.html
I just posted the guide I used to sbf here for another member...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901934
Here is my understanding of your situation. You are getting prompted for the update. I THINK that even if you said yes and tried to run it - that you would just end up with an error - because the update checks your system to see if all the proper files are there and if they are not it will not run. I think.
So I think the best thing to do is sbf then take the update. You will loose root. and you will not be de-odexed. You will have to reroot. But like the other member said - get z4root (link in the other thread with the sbf instructions) and run it after you do the over the air.
I make no guarantees. Just sharing to the best of my knowledge.

Flashing the .320 full SBF then the sys only .340 SBF would be the same as the .15 SBF to OTA. Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

SBF stands for SmartBroker Data File, but that doesn't matter, it's simply a backup file. It's not necessary to upgrade to .340 unless you use custom ROMs, because anything made for .320/.340 isn't compatible with .15. The Nexus One doesn't have a system version because it's pure android; the android version is the system version. Other phones have a separate system version because the carriers feel the need to bog the phone down with bloatware and their custom launchers.
SBF files can be found here, and make sure you make a backup immediately after you're re-rooted, so you can just restore it to accept the next OTA.

Excellent information! So when utilizing my own backup (or the SBFs presented above), do I need to uninstall clockwork or root before going after the OTA? I am figuring the OTA isn't looking for that information but want to avoid the infamous brick situation at all costs.
No, you can leave everything installed. An SBF is similar to the factory reset disc that comes with computers; it formats everything and then installs the OS on a clean slate. An OTA won't check for root, but it does check for the bloatware. If any of it is missing/renamed, it won't install the update.
I know I'm new to this form but nandroid backups have always got my nexus to where it needed to be. So if any one could upload a CWR Nandroid of stock 2.3.4 rooted that would be awesome.
I'm on GRI40 if that helps, but I'm sure different versions would be appreciated.
Then you would have access to their gmail account and contacts... unless you are asking for someone to completely wipe their phone and create a nandroid just for the express purpose of uploading it here for your convinience.

If you have GRI40 and the i9020 version then you can do it yourself
Just download the manual update.

I flashed the 1.83 sbf using rsdlite and then flashed greyblur 2.1 over it, now in the "about phone" section it says I'm running 1.57 and always askes me to update.
Help?
This is happening to me too
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Is it the same update pop up that was on stock? I had an update in my notification bar but it did not say what it was or let me cancel it.
It's the OTA 1.83 update for users that are on 1.57, but i already upgraded
Yeah this happened to me too. I was rooted on 1.57 and updated. Ran afterupdate and got root back. Than I installed GreyBlur and im back to 1.57 now.. :-/
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Its because greyblur isn't compatible with 83 yet. A lot of psuedo roms make changes to /system, and that include their own build.prop file. That makes it look to the phone that its on 57 and not on 83. Wait until greyblur gets updated or dive into the zip yourself and make your own changes.
Sent from my screaming Atrix *4G* using the XDA App
I'm really having a hard time here with this. This is my first custom rom I've installed. If I should wait for 83 compatibility. How do I uninstall the rom? If I accept the OTA update will it uninstall the rom for me?
Should I settle with GingerBlur instead? I really hate sounding like a newb here, but I've been digging deep into the forums and not really finding a clear answer about this issue.

Did you make a backup in Tenfar's recovery before you installed the rom? If so, its a simple process of restoreing the backup. If not, I personally would flash using the sbf available to whatever version. That basically will just reinstall your system, but keep your data (I.e. music not apps). I don't know what will happen if you update on greyblur... maybe try it? You could fall back on using the sbfs if needed. Gingerblur is great, although there are mixed repotlrts on bad batterylife with it. I'm personally on stock with LauncherPro until the next gladiatrix comes out.
Its good that you are asking questions before doing things.
Oh, P.S. you could use titanium backup to backup your apps.
Sent from my screaming Atrix *4G* using the XDA App
Actually I think this more to do with the fact that GreyBlurr came out when 1.57 was the current firmware version. It has that listed in the build.prop file. So the phone thinks it is 1.57 even though it is really 1.83. If you have root explorer you can safely edit that file to show the correct version (its the top line).
If you don't want to do that and you have Titanium Backup, you can freeze the Updater app.
Thanks for the advice Tyler.
I ended up flashing back to 1.26 and just rerooting again with GladRoot.
I now have GingerBlur installed and am very pleased with the results. =)
I've only had this phone for a weeks and it's my first droid, so I'm definitely learning a lot.
