How to unroot 2.2 OTA?

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?

2.3.23 Full SBF on MDW Now

http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/droid-x-discussion/5633-droid-x-2-3-32-full-sbf.html
I've not flashed it, but the links are currently working.

There's An App For That
For those of you who don't make it in time to get the SBF before it's taken down, don't worry. If you have the TBH app, you are good to go. Not only do they have the 2.3.32 update, but also the 2.3.32 SBF in case you wish to go back. Thank God for TBH. Way to go guys - don't know what I'd do without you.

Enjoy everyone! You're welcome.
We normally discourage openly posting the content from the TBH app but this is an exception in order to make this file available to anyone who might need it.
Thank you for posting links back to MDW and promoting the use of the TBH app.
Good luck and happy droiding!

does anyone have the 2.3.23 update.zip, all the links are dead on MDW. i got the new 2.3.23 sbf file but need the update.zip so I can get onto 2.3.23

I need that zip too. I was able to sbf to 2.3.32 but the bootloader version stays on 30.01.

email me if you need the update file, i think it was pulled

You can also get it from the TBH app, with the nice upside of supporting TBH

Does the tbh app have the full. 320 sbf available?

yep

z4 worked for me after i flashed the sbf if it helps anyone.

just flash the sbf without updating, worked like a charm coming from my bricked DX.
remember to pull the battery after you update when the droid x animation begins to boot loop. then hold the home button when booting up again, then data/factory reset from the recovery and select reboot system now.
z4root works, confirmed. just installed Fission 2.3 just minutes from sbf'ing 2.3.23.

It's important to remember that flashing the SBF will not update the bootloader whereas the update.zip will update to 30.04 but will not update the baseband.
That is the primary difference as well as the update.zip being rooted and deodexed with busybox installed.

what baseband? there is a baseband update in one of these? why not do the update.zip and sbf in that case?
i thought p3 posted on twitter there was no baseband update in either of them.

not true, sbf coming from 2.3.15 updated it all.

did you confirm that by going to stock recovery? i have not experienced that myself. only way to update bootloader was with update.zip

The SBF has a baseband update in it, but for almost everyone it won't matter because the baseband hasn't changed from 2.3.15. I think only people still on eclair or the froyo leak were the only ones who are behind on the baseband.

Droid X 2.3.340 Update

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?
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.

Full 2.3.340 SBF????

Any news on when this is gonna come out so i can SBF fully back to stock any info would be appreciated thanks

You can do this currently by combining .320 and .340 SBF files. I have not heard anything yet on a full .340 being released.

Isn't this essentially a full SBF?
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...ystem-baseband-2-3-340-kernel-bootloader.html
It contains the system-only SBF, as well as individual patches for the bootloader, kernel, and baseband.

I dont think so. I believe a full sbf overwrites the full phone image from /* in other words there is more to the OS architecture than just /system.
If im incorrect, anyone that has more info/corrections, please feel free to chime in.

Could you explain this process? Im running rubiX Focused on my 2.3.15 version and from my understanding, having the newest system software would be beneficial in installing and using newer roms etc.
I have both a nandroid backup of my stock albeit rooted setup of 2.3.15, as well as the system 2.3.15 sbf. I also have the 2.3.32 sbf file. I realize that if I sbf back to a clean 2.3.15, I can just accept the OTA update to 2.3.34.
Two questions from here:
Which method for updating would be best? From the OTA update to 2.3.34 would I be able to sbf back to 2.3.32 or would i be stuck until a 2.3.34 full sbf is released?
Sorry in advance for jacking the thread

*bump* would like to know this as well.

Tge limitation on whether or not you can go back is based upon the version if the bootloader that the sbf wird I believe. I have not used anything above the 2.3.15 sbf so I'm not sure if the sbf you're speaking of includes a bootloader version
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

If you use your 2.3.320 SBF you said you have, you can then use this update: http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/09/droid-x-2-3-340-system-sbf-released-for-2-3-320-leak-users/
It should get you fully updated to 2.3.340. It does involve flashing your phone twice, but after that you should be good (as far as I know with my still limited knowledge of these things...)

Can't you just flash the 2.3.13 sbf then get the OTA update again? Any risk in doing that?

I don't think you can flash 2.3.15 once you have passed 2.3.320 as your bootloader will have been upgraded.
I recently flashed a full SBF of 2.3.320, then the Kernel, Baseband and Bootloader zips, then the 2.3.340 SBF. Bam, I have a stock phone that looks like it just came from Verizon. Its got all the preinstalled apps, blur, etc... it's basically stock 2.3.340.
For about 30 seconds until I rooted it and loaded Fission 2.4.3 on it...

nvrmnd..........

I had done this also, but I couldn't see to stop the phone from booting into Clockwork on a battery pull.

Which SBF Do I need?
I just bought a DX and am coming from a D2. I know how to do everything but it is confusing finding out which SBF i need. I need to know which SBF, or SBF's i need to unbrick phone if need be. Info for phone is as follows.
Android Version 2.2.1
Official OTA 2.3.340 (Guy updated to 2.3.340 at Verizon Store before i left with it.)
Thanks for any help.

I'm in the same boat willjohnson, which sbf was the correct one? TIA

If you are already on .340, you do not need anything more than the .340 System-Only SBF released by TBH. Until Motorola has a new update that modifies the bootloader, or other components, no ROM you install will change these.

Bricked DX
has anyone ever seen the following:
Bootloader
30.04
Err:A5,70,70,00,1F
MEM_MAP Blank
Service Req'd
Ive been trying to flash this thing back to stock after botching a tranquility install and rsd lite wouldn't recognize my phone, then i tried to flash it anyway using a .340 sbf and then this is what i ended up with.
Please let me know.
thank you

That is just the system sbf, you are flashing. You need to be flashing the full sbf 2.3.32, if you are on bootloader 30.04.

Update everyone! I just started a thread in Development subfroum about a full 2.3.340 update zip that can flashed as long as you can access clockwork recovery. I recommend checking it out and downloading the file for safe keeping. It was put together by Maderschramm.

Getting ready to upload the full 2.3.34 sbf from a verizon retail store. Not sure if it's safe to put the direct link here. If not, send me a pm, should have it up by tonight at the latest. this is the official sbf and can be used with rsd lite.

bricked? I need some help

Hi i just recently bought a motorola droid x. It had 2.1 android on it. So i uploaded the 2.2 spl file thorugh rsdlite. I just found out the bootloader version is 12.03. Now i tried flashing 2.1 and 2.2 both. after it says manually restart the phone. i restart it and it gets stuck on motorola screen. i tried clearing cache and factory reset it keeps getting stuck at the motorola screen. can somone please help me out here :/. Please help asap

Not sure about the bootloader as 12.03 . When I had 2.1 the bootloader was 30.01, then it changed as updates for 2.2 and finally 2.2.1 . Now the bootloader is 30.04 .
Do a little more research before flashing this, but the newest official built for a SBF file is 2.3.340. You can find it by google. This will change your bootloader to 30.04 and bring you up to date.
Good luck.

What OS are you using?

+1 on the bootloader. That is an odd one, unless that phone didn't originate in the U.S. I think the chinese x had a bootloader of 80.something.
I would start here however:

Well upon further research i found out it was a preproduction droid x :/... i can not find the sbf for it anywhere. Can anyone please help me with this? I'd really appreciate it

bump ^ anyone able to help regarding this please?

are you using the full sbf? not system only sbf

I am not positive, but you should still be able to use the 2.3.340 full sbf to get up to date. You just can't use an sbf to go backwards.

im downloading the files right now, but i dont think the boot loader gets updated when i try i tried once already but its worth another shot or as many as it takes :/
