I apologize if this has already been answered already elsewhere....I looked around in other threads and didn't see anything.
I've flashed my phone with the full 2.3.32 sbf available online (system version now reads Version.2.3.320.MB810.Verizon.en.US, all Verizon bloat is installed, etc). If I try and do an OTA system update to pull .340, I'm told the device is up to date. I was under the impression that from the full .32 sbf I would be back at stock and able to OTA to .34 -- is that not the case? If I want to get to .34 do I need to use the system-only .34 sbf over .32? And why is that?
Thanks for your help.

I believe that .320 is a leak from TBH, and was not a public update from Verizon. So my guess would then be (based on this assumption) is that since you don't have a "verified" version release, Verizon is not showing your phone as needing an update. If you still have the bootloader version 30.03 (when you turn phone on, hold "volume down, camera button, and power), this will put phone in bootloader. If it says 30.03, you can use the 2.3.15 full sbf to go back to 2.3.15 and then do the update via OTA to 2.3.340. If it says 30.04, then yes, you will need to use the .340 system only sbf to update.
just an educated guess... The reason there is a 2.3.320 sbf is because people tbh saw people bricking their phones, and wanted a recovery method for devs and the public alike *(again another assumption).
Hope this helps
Yeah, I had seen some other information that indicated the .320 sbf was a leak, so what you say about it not being recognized by Verizon makes sense. Unfortunately I already had the 30.04 bootloader so that sbf seemed my best option. Hopefully the combination of .320 full + .340 system is enough to make the phone recognizable for future OTA updates.
Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.

Yes sir.
.320 + .340 will get you completely stock.
A Verizon rep wouldn't even be able to tell.
Your phone will, indeed, receive updates.
I'm in the same boat, I have 2.3.320. I have a .sbf file (named SHADO_X6_2.3.34_SYSTEM-ONLY.sbf), am I correct believing that flashing to that file should bring up to the latest official version?

Bootloader

Err:A5,70,70,00,1F
MEM_MAP Blank
Service Req'd
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
That's it...All I really want it to be completely unrooted with 2.2.1 on my Droid X. Can somebody please help me/point me to a guide that could help resolve these issues?

well pull your batt and see if it will boot up if it will not it and you never flashed the leak or took the ota as of yet then you can still use the 2.2 sbf and then once you get going update with the .340 ota and you will be unrooted on 2.2.1,here is the 2.2 sbf with instructions if needed

now remember you can only use this if you never flashed the .320 leak or took the .340 ota yet and if you did then you need to use those sbf

I believe that you will have to SBF to .621.

When you say you upgraded to gingerbread how exactly did you go about it...if you took the ota upgrade then you're most likely on .621 and you'll have to use the .621 SBF file but if you used on of the methods where you flashed a zip file or two in CWR then you should be able to just use 1KDS's Linux SBF method and you should be up and running again. But if you did do the ota and are running .621 then DO NOT by any means use any other SBF then the .621 SBF or you'll be back in the same spot you're in now.

Please bear in mind, there are different SBFs for 30.03 and 30.04 bootloader version. Be aware of that when you download the .sbf file.
Hello,
Yesterday I rooted my new droid x. I used titanium backup to backup, then remove some of the apps that I didn't need. However, then I received the ota update, and it fails to install. Im assuming it is because I have removed the city id, amazon mp3 store, and backup assistant. I try to restore, but I find I cannot restore them jacques they are non market apps. Where can I find them, then install them?

Theres An .sbf I Used To Get The Update Easily
Just Make Sure You Back Up Everything
(.sbf Is Used By RSD Lite Just In Case You Didn't Know)
hmm...
Ok, well, im not all that familiar with what your talking about...
I soppose I kinda did the opposite when it comes to removing integral apps on the phone, but from what im reading, im mostly hosed aren't I?
How do i find this .sbf and how would i use this RSD to restore?
I apologize in advance for being such a noob.
Time to start learning about your Droid X. It's all here, in this forum and in the development forum. Check out the Wiki first. There's a link to it on the first post of the android development forum.
Your problem is easily solved btw.
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/d...oll-your-320-dx-back-2-3-151-now-you-can.html
Download the backup there, boot into CWM and restore from that image. You'll get all the crapware back and will be able to OTA. Alternatively you can go to 928droid.com and download the clean DX image.
I called Verizon about not being able to update with the OTA and they are sending me a new phone lol!

I did a little research and found that i have the 30.04 boot loader. My attempts at locating what i guess is referred to as a "system only SBF" have been futile. Is there somewhere i can find this? what is the name of the file i need, i know links cannot be posted.
I attempted at restoring the apks to the phone via adb (applied proper permissions etc). I got the apks back, and the apps running properly (backupassistantclient.apk ... etc) however, to no avail it still will not update.
hmmm 30.04. TMK only the leaked 2.3.320 SBF and the official OTA use that bootloader. Are you sure the update didn't work? Maybe your brand new phone already has the update? Settings->about phone->Android version should tell you. 2.2.1 = the OTA.

Actually, I've had that bootloader on 2 separate X's; one I bricked on a system only leak of .320 and one I ended up using the leaks to get to .340(wouldn't OTA, possibly because I forgot to fix permissions). I know because at one point I SBFed the phone from .151 to .15 and I saw the bootloader version.

Sleuth is correct--there is a full (as opposed to "system only") 2.3.32 SBF that works with 30.04. As has been previously suggested, all of the info on finding this file and installing it are contained in the wiki (which is located on the xda droid x dev page). It really isn't a big deal to resolve your issue. Learning to unbrick your phone with RSD will be extremely useful to you in the future, as will the time you spent screwing around with ADB.
I give you props for trying to resolve your issue yourself, rather than crying to Verizon the first time you ran into trouble
ok, so i got it to SBF finally! it worked. now i have 2.2.1. But i no longer have root access, gaaha! what gives! anyway... any good tip to restore root access?
I am glad i know how to do the SBF processes, im not so leery about installing custom roms on my DX anymore... which is my end goal now that i can do the SBF for this boot loader.
However, how to do i get root access again?
Reroot your phone however you did the first time.... I used z4root, took some time to get it work... but eventually got it to work

Anyone know if the 2.3.40 SBF file for OTA has been released yet? I own a very pretty DX brick. Verizon is sending me a new one - I told them my phone lost power during the OTA. They said they didn't have the file to flash it yet so they'd send me a new one. When they flash it, they'll find Superuser permissions, Z4 Root and Wireless Tether. Then the jig is up.
the .32 full sbf will work on the .34 system...they are compatable
Any ideas if it will work if my bootloader is 30.04?

Yes the bootloader is the same for 2.3.320 & 340
All you need to do is flash the .320 full sbf and you wont have a brick anymore.
Flashed the SBF I got from here Droid Life. I'm new so I can't publish links. I finished and RSD Lite said passed, but it didn't reboot the phone, and I'm still stuck in the bootloader screen... BRICK.
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/09/droid-x-2-3-340-system-sbf-released-for-2-3-320-leak-users/
That's where I downloaded the file from. Ran it twice, no dice. Guess I'm bricked. New phone from Verizon arrived. Should I ship the brick back or hold out?
Head over to mydroidworld and get the FULL sbf for 2.3.32 and try flashing that.
Thank you! Thank You! Thank you! It worked. No more brick I promise not to flash ROMs at 3am anymore so that I don't do something stupid again...
So I've been on rubix focused for a while and I didn't really want to update to 2.3.320 (leak) but now I heard we have 2.3.340 (official). Can someone explain how I can get to this from 2.3.15. And will I have to update the rom I'm using or would it work? Sorry I tried to figure this out myself and almost bricked my phone. So now I'm kinda stuck and need some help
Thanks!
I am in the same boat. I am on 2.3.20 . I'm not really sure how I got to this version in the first place. I'm on rubiX 1.8.6 . How do I update to the latest and greatest, and what version is that actually?
Thanks in advance.
There are going to be plenty of people here that will chime in to help...but I just got done (literally) doing this today. I was on 2.3.15 OTA (rooted) running ApeX and wasn't even going to go through the hassle. But...ever since the Gingerbread sdk was released and all of these fresh new roms & themes are popping up...I finally said F it and did it. The basics of it go like this:
1. Backup everything etc...
2. You need to find yourself a copy of 2.2 ota stock, download to pc and flash that to your phone using rsd lite 4.9
3. Then you can pull the update down from your phone (takes 5 minutes from beginning to end)
4. Use Z4root and root your phone (was able to get root on my first try in under a minute)
5. Create another backup and be sure to name it 2.2.1 stock so you now have a starting point to fall back on when you start tweaking your phone.
This is my personal fave go to page that I use as a guide to any and all of my X mods. It doesn't get much better than this if you ask me!

If you don't have a stock backup with all bloatware intact, it'll be easier to SBF. If you have a stock backup, flash it, ensure all bloat is there, and download update and install. I removed bootstrap to be on the safe side.

Am I correct in assuming that once weve updated to 2.3.34 we cannot flash back to a backup that we were running 2.3.15 on, nor can we SBF back to 2.3.15?

why would you anyways???
okay, after all the reading i've decided that i should sbf instead of trying to figure out all the bloat that may or may not have been removed from my wife's X. That being said, once in bootloader, is it possible to get out of the bootloader without flashing anything? I want to verify the bootloader version to make certain that i have to proper .sbf file.
yes, i do have a backup of the original 2.2.....does that help?
i made this process more difficult than i had anticipated by installing another rom before trying the .340 update. now it starts the install then reboots and says "update failed". anyway, any tips or pointers that can be given are greatly appreciated....thx
I have a question I'm running 2.3.15, rooted with rubix ROM+theme---- already at 2.2.1 / what are the benifits of updating to. 340, and I'm guessing i can't just flash the sbf without starting over, rooting, ROM etc. Just not sure what of a difference there is for going to. 340 when I'm already at 2.2.1 anyone? ?

Hi all. Several months back, I rooted and flashed the very first leak of 2.2 on my friends DX and haven't done anything else to that phone since. Recently, I flashed Liberty 1.5 and now he can't play any type of media. I figured this is probably due to outdated software since he hasn't been able to receive any OTA updates. I'm confused on where to go from here.
He has bootloader 30.01 with which, to my understanding, we won't be able to SBF or MADERSTCOK "SBF". Any suggestions?
P.S. I did a nandroid backup prior to flashing Liberty 1.5

There is a full 2.3.340 SBF out there now. Maybe you should SBF to 2.3.340 and then install Liberty. Before you SBF there is a zip file that will update your bootloader to the current one so you can SBF to 2.3.340.
Here is the link to the full SBF:
