[Q] What should I update to? - Droid X General

I am in between going to GB and staying where I am at.
My issue is that I am on a version of 2.2.1 Stock that I obtained through TBH around the holidays....file was literally called "happy holidays from TBH" however, this was the 2.3.320 version of the OTA update, not the 2.3.340 version that everyone seems to have.
So the real question is, can I jump straight from 2.3.320 to GB? OR do I need to flash to 2.3.34 since when I check for OTA updates the phone tells me that I am currently up to date.
If I flash to 2.3.34, then I should probably just go straight to gingerbread rooted. However, how would I get the OTA gingerbread when it comes out? Otherwise I would be right back where I am now in about a month or so.
I need to either update to the current froyo and wait for the OTA release of GB, or update to current froyo (2.2.34) and then update again to the new rooted 2.3.3? Right? can someone confirm?
PS. I already have the 2.3.340 .sbf file (445MB) and the 2.3.3 rooted file from p3droid so I am good to go there if necessary.

if you have the 2.3.340 sbf go ahead and flash it first just to be sure...then gingerbread the whole process will only take u 30 minutes its really not that big of a deal

I might as well go ahead and update to 2.3.340 however, I am now seeing on droidxforums that there is another version of 2.3.340 called maderstcok...can't post a link but here is a partial url: droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-hacks/15666-maderstcok-ota-2-3-340-update-zip.html
The one that I have is from xda via the noobs guide (links to mydroidworld), so I trust that one more... however, this file is an update.zip, not an .sbf. So it could potentially be easier to do?

I would also like to know if it makes any difference if I use the 4.8 version of RSD lite versus 4.9
I am currently using the 4.7.1 drivers as well, pretty sure that that is right, but if there is a newer version, let me know

bump, just want a second opinion

Maderstckok will get you to where you need to be (2.3.340) I've used it 10+ times it's a great file. Then reboot, reroot, and flash GB.

I used 4.8. It'll work fine.

Ditto - 4.8 worked like a charm.

thanks guys, downloading now and will update to 2.3.34, gonna check around for some more ideas on whether or not to go ahead and get GB or wait for the OTA...i have seen some threads with issues with wireless tether, which is one of my reasons for rooting in the first place

so far so good, rooted with z4 after updating to 2.3.34 with maderstock....awesome file, best experience yet with the clockworkmod going to stock. Will update to GB tomorrow. Some of the deodexed roms look really good!

done...on GB, added the deodexed and got the stock BWC theme which is working great. Will maybe flash more custom roms later as they become more mature for GB. otherwise, freezing bulr apps.

Holy Hell this update is fast

Well, I had to jump through some hoops to upgrade, but I finally got the 2.2 OTA and it is FAST.
It's even faster than the leaked version I previously had on there.
The hoops:
I was on a rooted 2.2 leak so I had to flash back to 2.1, only the Windows flash utility failed at 97%.
Then I reset, cleared the cache and re-flashed (but this time in Linux) and it worked fine.
I booted into stock 2.1, re-activated my phone and then looked for the OTA.
It was there so I downloaded and installed.
I just finished reinstalling my apps and everything's good to go.

overall speed-wise? i'm thinking to update mine. I'm on 2.1 stock with root. I'd be bummed to lose root since real HDMI is a godsend. do i have to unroot first?
i wouldnt upgrade if youre rooted. i tried and got stuck at the m logo and bootloader is changed so you wont be able to flash back the 2.1 so id either make sure you dont have any rooted apps and youre unrooted or stay with 2.1
Gotta say, with 2.2+LauncherPro I don't even miss root or custom ROM's.

Same here, this is my setup too and it's awesome.
If you're rooted or on a 2.2 leak, I would definitely go through the processes of reverting to stock 2.1u1 (via SBF - http://rootzwiki.com/index.php/Smartphones/Motorola/Droid-X/Droid-X.html) before attempting the OTA update.
I hoped to see the OTA this morning but it wasn't there. So I checked for updates & there it was. It loaded fast & with no issues. I had factory 2.1 without root. I love it so far.

That's partly due to you clearing off your phone. I sbf'd back to 2.1u1 last night and reapplied the leaked 2.2, root, 2.3.15, tranquility, then serenity, and HOLY SMOKES this is faster than it was before I did this. Like, WICKED fast! And yeah, that's without the bloatware-filled OTA. Got the same system as you do too: 2.3.15, just leaked and deodexed
Except your missing the new radio and kernal Also im running the legit 2.2OTA, and have rooted it via the droid2 method..now just have to manually deodex it and ill be all set

Just a heads up, I was running full stock 2.1, however I was rooted, and I did the OTA update with 0 problems. I lost root, but used the Droid 2.2 method and got it back. No issues whatsoever.

Problems with update
has anyone had any issues after update? A friend of mine has the Droid X, he was running original ROM not rooted, and he did the OTA update and is complaining that his phone is running slow and crashes periodically.

All im saying, is why bother with incomplete leaks? Why not take the little effort and do the real OTA?? I SBF'd back to 2.1.. Then did the OTA 2.2 Update, and then did the automatic 1 click Droid2 Root method.. and had a rooted, legitimate 2.2 update in less then 30 minutes after the initial SBF back down
What your doing is like buying a car with no doors on it.. Why run just the leaked system folder, when you can just get the total package that comes with an updated Radio and Kernal along with it? Why have an incomplete update with some components missing, when its not even that big of a deal to get the actual, 2.2 total package and have it rooted in 5 minutes anyway

I think you over-estimate the value of the kernel (which is actually the same version - just a different build-string) and the radio (which is a very small incremental bump in version).
The downsides to the upgrade (for hackers/themers) is that there is no sbf for 2.2 right now and it's been reported that once you OTA, you can not flash back to 2.1 via sbf or you'll brick.
If you're a 'stock' kinda guy, then OTA is probably the way to go. Those that like tinkering a little deeper, need the safety net of an SBF.
I agree. I personally think it would not be smart to OTA at this time if you have the desire to run anything other than stock on your phone (whether you can get root or not). I hear the new OTA doesn't run wireless tether for root users (not sure about this).
I'm still running the original 2.2 leak rooted. After all the problems I've been hearing about with tranquility, I would like to wait until I hear less complaints. Although from what I've read, most of the problems come from user error and people not following the instructions so I'm definitely not knocking P3Droid or Team Black Hat.
We have a system sbf file now for 2.2, that's all youll ever need unless you try something crazy, I have the OTA, rooted and also manually deodexed it myself and running my old theme I liked before.. Adfree is also working fine on my OTA unlike some others... What im saying is im not missing anything over the leak, If anything I have more. The 2.3.15 deodexed leak gives me nothing I don't already have because I was able to deodex and root the official myself.

Very strange, I haven't had a single problem with anything, and I've used everything you listed...,im even pulling 1490 in quadrants
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
And I was pulling similar quadrant scores from the leaks which have the SAME STUFF as the OTA. All they did was increase the version number for the radios and kernel. Even the sbf TBH released isn't the full complete sbf I'd like to have for a safety net (though I trust them when they do say that it is good for everything except folks trying to get out of brick b/c they sbf'd to 2.1u1).
Besides, getting to OTA may be quick, but getting back to where my phone is NOW but with the OTA kernel would take HOURS. No thanks. Not till it is optimized and deodexed and cleaned up by TBH.
Running the OTA, and wile everything works, I'm not seeking an overall speed increase. Some individual things are definitely faster: the browser, gmail, lock screen. But, others are the same, and some, occasionally laggy (may be that's due to my apps? ADWlauncher?).
It's not that the system is slow, just that I don't see any overall boost (certainly not the JIT impact written about in the Froyo coverage).
Compared to 2.1, those things are much snappier. Also, clearing the cache helps with this too.

Question about updating to 2.3.340

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.

Upgrading from 2.3.9 to 2.3.340

Ok, I know I have been really slacking with updating my phone. I'm still running the first rooted version that came out after the phone was released. I'm just getting back into tinkering with my phone and want to check out gingerbread 595.
With that said, I'm looking to find out if I need to sbf or flash (I can do either, I'm competent in both) any versions previous to 2.3.320 before I flash to 2.3.340 and then 595? I've been scouring all of the Android forums for the past week and I can't find out if I can flash directly to .320 from .9... can anyone help me out?

I'll feed you baby bird...
edit:
Oh.. yeah I went with the leak and ended up having to sbf back to previous stock at the time. Then went and OTA'ed... from there you can start over and look into the GB. Although a word of caution, from what I read, going to GB now you might regret. Seems like you try GB and then end up wanting to go back to froyo and have all sorts of issues. You will be in the same position... I will wait... pretty satisfied with my Liberty 2.0.1!
Look for maderstock.340 update.zip
That will get you into froyo.340
Find and flash gingerbread.588
Then your good to go straight to .595
The only issue with GB is the free tethering is for the moment, dead.
Stock GB is as fast or faster than any custom froyo I have ever flashed. And I actually prefer the new blur to AOSP.
Go with gb, you wont be disappointed.

4.5.602 official ota sbf

is there one out?
i dont want to have to sbf to 2.3.340 or sbf 4.5.596 just to do the ota to get back to 4.5.602 each time?
there should be a 4.5.602 by now shouldnt there?
There's never an alloted time between when an update gets released and when we get the SBF file.
We can hope that it will be leaked soon; however, it may just be as well that you use the .596 SBF then update as the update file isn't large, and you wouldn't be able to obtain root either way.
If you're interested though the hour that one becomes available I will announce it here on Droid X General =D

i dont know.
if you are on 2.3.340 (OTA) and you then check for updates....does it find the .602 update and update you directly from there or dies it update you to .596 first then restart your phone and check for updates again and finds .602 and updates you and restarts your phone again?
if it goes straight to .602 from 2.3.340 with only one restart then that would mean there is a single sbf for .602 that is probably around 110MB wouldnt it?

I agree with the above post, it doesn't seem that a large SBF file would be released for such a small update; however, with Big Red you can never be sure. Until someone such as p3droid can confirm or deny that we will be getting an SBF file we will just have to wait.

your download time was QUICK because you were on 4.5.596
try it from 2.3.340
no offense but if i'm going back down to 2.3.340 i might as well install CM7 so i'd rather not.
I did notice a strange thing though, the white 3G icon is useable since I updated to 602. Its almost like its a weaker 3G indicator but still 3G and then there is the normal blue 3G icon. and yes the 1X still shows up so its not a replacement for that.

well then dont imply that since the update was a small update that it must be 2 seperate updates and then i wont say go back to 2.3.340 to see if there is only one update to 4.5.602
i already know that.
that is why i started this thread.
no need to get snippy, I can imply what everyone is saying and has posted, its a minor 11mb update for GB. So if you are on Froyo it will do nothing because it updates issues within GB. Just like if you were on Windows XP and a minor update for Windows 7 came up it would not affect you or bring you up to Windows 7.

When .602 first came out it was a seperate 11 mb file for anyone coming from 2.3.340.
So if you checked update on froyo you downloaded the large .596, rebooted, checked again then it downloaded .602. Now if you do the same, it will download the large combined .602 directly if your are on froyo.
I would like an SBF also.

i dont know.
if you are on 2.3.340 (OTA) and you then check for updates....does it find the .602 update and update you directly from there or dies it update you to .596 first then restart your phone and check for updates again and finds .602 and updates you and restarts your phone again?
if it goes straight to .602 from 2.3.340 with only one restart then that would mean there is a single sbf for .602 that is probably around 110MB wouldnt it?

It now goes straight to .602 from Froyo. The first week or so it went to .596 then .602.

I can confirm this.... I've now taken the .602 ota update straight from an sbfed .340 twice on my way to CM7 DX GB.... and the Droid 3 root method (on linux or windows) works flawlessly on the .602 ota

[Q] Updating to .621 OTA?

Hi my friend's droid x was on a leaked version of gingerbread (4.5.588) and since it's been incredibly buggy I convinced him to try to update it to the latest version. Being a leak, obviously system updates won't work.
I found this file online of the .zip: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/60354155/Blur_Version.4.5.621.MB810.Verizon.en.US.zip
The thing is it's only 15 MB, which makes me a little hesitant if it's a good .zip
If not, could anyone direct me to the official .621 update.zip? Thanks.
Edit: Actually, does someone have a link to the .602 official update? I can't find it anywhere online since a lot of the links were removed or on megaupload.
Actually, you should probably SBF to .602.
It will make sure that your phone won't have any leftover files after upgrading, and will ensure optimum perforemence.
Just Google "1kds 602 Linux SBF" and it should lead you to the files and instructions you need.
One last thing, instead of upgrading to .621, you should stay on .602, root, and flash one of the many great roms available.

Well I'm updating him to .596 right now. Will that allow system updates since that's official?
