Just to clarify for several out there new to leaks. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone:
Going from "unrooted" GB leak:
1. unstall RSD Lite and Drivers, Run RSD Lite
2. Hold volume down+camera+power until screen flickers and release and you should have the white lettered bootloader screen.
3. plug phone in and RSD will see it and run the full .340 sbf
4. Phone will reboot when done into old .340 stock
5. Run z4root and then bootstrap in to install new rom.
Going from "rooted/deodexed" GB:
1. Use droid 2 bootstrap (or dx bootstrap with usb debugging disabled) to boot into clockwork.
2. For good measure clear data/cache, dalvik cache, battery stats.
3. flash maderstock or monster 340.zip
4. Immediately reboot only as to not brick
5. Run z4root and then dx bootstrap in to install new rom
**No you can not install a .340 rom directly from GB rooted or otherwise. You must flash back to .340 first**
Thats what I understand is that RSD was only used for the unrooted GB leak due to the fact we couldn't access clockwork. Hope this is correct and helps out.
Hm. It seems that it is easier to get back from deodexed GB than I thought. Yesterday I did it via RSD Lite – it was a REAL PAIN.
Sorry for noob question, my camera doesn't work and I can't play any MP3 file
anybody could help me, please
why wont it show up in rsd lite
my phone isnt being detected in rsd lite any suggestions. i have every possible driver i can think of installed no errors just not working.

How did you rsd yours back to .340. I cant get mine to be detected by rsd. all appropiate drivers have been installed and have recieved no errors of any sort phone just not being detected by rsd.
Not sure if I answered this in the other thread or my browser didnt update. To get my rsd lite to see phone in bootloader go config >device id>first come first serve.
Make sure you have all the needed Motorola Drivers. rsdLite would not see mine untill i installed all the latest drivers...then a piece of cake

I got a DX a few months ago, rooted it, etc. About a month ago I decided to go ahead deodex it. Installed CWM and did a backup first, then deodexed. During the process the instructions said to copy the guava.odx file out of the modded fileset, so I did. Everything seemed to work OK, rebooted, been fine since.
Early this week I got the update notice for 2.3.340, so I restored the CWM backup, downloaded the update, and tried to install. The phone rebooted and began installing the update. A few seconds into the install I see what looks like a yellow triangle around the progress bar, and it bails out. Once it finishes rebooting I get a message that the update failed.
I haven't removed any bloatware apps, so I don't think it's that. I suspect it's either 1) that I'm rooted, althoughs others here have updated while rooted; or 2) that guava.odx is missing and I'm not sure where to put it back.
Any ideas on my next step? Grab the 2.2 SBF and start over?
THanks.

Um - sorry. I did read the post wrong.
I am rooted and was able to install. So I don't think that is it. After you rooted - but before you made your back up - did you mess with any system files or remove any bloat ware? You need to have all of that stuff to successfully install the OTA.
I don't remember messing around with anything. I had originally thought I'd remove the bloatware, but ended up not doing that.
Where would I find the stock 2.2 SBF? I can restore that, then update and re-install all of my apps, etc. Can someone also provide the instructions on how to install the 2.2 SBF?
Thanks.
Head over to mydroidworld.com and check out their thread on the update. You can flash it via cw recovery along with the baseband, bootloader, etc.

A full SBF (2.3.320) via RSD cures all then start all over ***MAKE BACK UPS !!!** Then do 2.3.340 via phone.
If you want to really do it right copy your SD to you PC format the SD with your phone and only add back to the SD files you need and know that way you get rid of any old data files that may haunt your phone.
So I hit MyDroidWorld and found the 2.2 SBF thread. Downloaded the file along with the RSD Lite version. Update the Moto USB drivers to the latest 4.8 drivers, and installed RSD Lite. Plugged my X in, making sure it was set for PC mode and Debugging - but it doesn't show up in RSD Lite. What now? Or did I manage to overlook a crucial step?
Thanks.
Found that I had to put the phone into 'bootloader' mode. Did so, and the phone now shows up in RSD Lite. I can select the .SBF file, but the 'Start' button remains grayed out.
<sigh>
It shouldn't be this difficult, should it?
Do I have the wrong .SBF file? The bootloader shows 30.03, so I think that's the correct one for the 2.2 SBF....
Thanks.
Found an approach to flashing the 2.1 SBF here - http://rootzwiki.com/index.php/Smartphones/Motorola/Droid-X/Droid-X.html
This seemed to work (RDS List showed 'Passed' as the final status), but when I go to reboot it is giving me an error. Here's what's on my screen -
Bootloader
30.03
Err:A5,70,70,00,1F
MEM_MAP Blank
Service Req'd
Battery OK
OK to Program
Transfer Mode:
USB
Help! What do I need to do next?
Apparently needed the 2.2 SBF. Flashed it and the phone has re-booted successfully. Whew. What a pain in the a.....!
Thanks.
PS - RSD Lite has a status of 'Please manually power up this phone.', progress is 'Executed; 100%', Result is 'In Process...'. THe phone is powered up, although I do have this odd little blue triangle in the status bar next to the signal strength. If I click 'Close' in RSD Lite I get a message "Application is currently busy. Closing application may DAMAGE the attached device.". Needless to say I'm a little unsure about this. Is it OK to unplug the USB cable and close RSD Lite?
PPS - OK, needed to *228 it. Still not sure about close RSD Lite though...
PPPS - Success! Went ahead and unplugged the USB cable, then closed RSD Lite. Did the 2.3.340 OTA, rebooted, and everything appears to be OK. Need to get my root access back, but that shouldn't be too bad.
I am an hd2 user and am new to native android rooting.
I'm trying to root my friend's DX and apparently i just can not figure out how to do it. I rooted it just fine with bootstrap and z4. i unrooted it fine as well. now when i want to install the OTA 2.3 update, i can't. i can't figure out how to go back to an official ROM so that i can do this. I've been searching for hours on at least ten different sites and nothnig has REALLY helped me. so can someone PLEASE tell me what to do.

Make sure you have sbf 2.3.340 I had a couple mistakes when doing this procedure and that was one of them.

I've rooted a Droid X before.
Personally you can find a ton of guides that will explain it step by step. (google)
But generally what you do is:
Download RSD Lite 4.8 (from Motorola)
And the Droid X Windows drivers (from Motorola)
Download a *good* SBF .340
Unzip the SBF
Open RSD Lite
Put Droid X into bootloader (turn it off, hold Home button and power button and down volume, let go of power button once its on but keep home button on until you see /!\. Press Search button)
Connect to computer via high quality USB (or preferably official droid x usb)
Put SBF in RSD Lite
Droid X should show up in RSD Lite once connected (might show up as S Flash ..etc.)
I forget what the button is called but basically install the SBF on to the droid X.
Make sure not to touch the DX, disconnect the DX or do anything to the DX until the point where RSD says "Manually restart phone" or something like that.
It should be done...

No it didn't... There is no OTA... I just checked. Verizon said it hasn't pushed anything yet. A manual update yes, OTA stands for Over The Air. There isn't an OTA yet and for all we know the manual update may differ from the final OTA they publish so at this point no real reason to update.

Yeah, at this point i think i'm going to do the same. Thank you all for your help, i did search plenty but nothing was n00b enough for me. I still can't find RSD 4.8 download so i'm just going to play the waiting game.
Again, thank you all for your help.
Noob Question...
I am on Darkslide 4.2. A month or so ago, immediately after I first rooted, I made a nandroid backup using Droid X Bootstrap Recovery. If I restore back to that backup and then unroot, am I back to stock? Can I then get this BG update? Or do I really have to sbf?
Thanks
From my experience, I still had to SBF since bootstrap messed up the file, logwapper. I tried to uninstall according to directions found on the web but no luck. Found rsd lite 5.0 and SBF 2.3.340 after a few minutes googling.

While in the bootloader, there is a message that says "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command"
and when i connect it to the computer, it doesn't make the sound that it connected or show up anywhere.
Any help guys?
i'm trying to SBF, then update to the newly rooted "OTA" update.
To get into bootloader you use vol dwn + camera + power, not home button.
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
Here is the link to the new update to install just rename to update.zip place on the root of your sdcard then reboot recovery and install update.zip
http://www.4shared.com/file/ov_2h3JM/Blur_Version2320A955VerizonenU.html
Why would someone need to download this, shouldn't everyone be able to update over the air.
FYI really like 2.3 runs very nice on droid2
To answer your question, I would. I recently left verizon and now I cannot get the OTA update. I still use my Droid 2 for android development. I just don't use it for a phone.
That said. I can't use the above update. I SBFed my phone back to stock Froyo System version 2.3.20, installed z4root to load clockworkmod Droid 2 recovery, and finally attempted to flash the above file from the SD card. I get the following error:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "cdma_droid2" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "cdma_droid2"
blah blah blah
(Status 7)
From the failed assertions I'm assuming this update doesn't recognize my phone as a Droid 2 and refuses to install the update. Does anyone know why that might be? Like I said I restored to stock before attempting this.
Wait a second. The file linked is called Blur_Version.2.3.20.A955.Verizon. That's the stock Froyo version. Is it called that because you need to be on that version or is this just an older file? I'm confused. Is this or isn't this the just released Gingerbread update?
It's an oddly named file, but the last time I saw that one linked it was the OTA. I still feel one is better off SBFing to stock and downloading it that way.
What's going on, I was following the steps on theunlockr but when I tried to extract the OG firmware my laptop said it was probably damaged, any way I can get the firmware somewhere else? I am running on Fission right now and want to go back to stock so I can scoop this update, it looks pretty nice. Please help me out if you can, thank you.
If you want to go back to stock to force the update the right way, the above file won't help you.
1. Get RSD Lite http://www.multiupload.com/HL0ZAL9GK8
2. Get Moto Drivers http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7632904/USB_Drivers_bit_4.7.1.zip
3. Get Froyo SBF http://bit.ly/dir7fq
Install the Moto Drivers on your pc, then boot into your bootloader and connect via usb. Then run RSD and load the SBF file. Once you complete that, reboot the phone and go to settings > phone info > check for updates. The new GB should be waiting for you, all official like.
Good looking out fam, will check in when finished!
Despite the odd name it is the correct file. But do not use CWM or bootstrap to flash it! Rename it to update.zip on root of sd card then use Stock recovery to flash it.

You're right it worked! I'm finally gingerbreaded. Thanks so much everyone.
Hello again, so my phone is just stuck on the Droid loading screen (Droid followed by the red symbol) I have no idea what to do although I followed the steps stated above.

So I was able to fix this problem by wiping the cache as well as my data, thank you all!

I tried this exactly as stated and I cant get me droid 2 to be seen in the RSD. I get a drive letter when I reboot to recovery but nothing shows in RSD. Any ideas? I tried wiping data and cache and did a factory reset still nothing.
Back to a rom manager backup from yesterday atm.
Make sure your phone is in PC Mode (and possibly Debugging Mode) so RSD can recognize it.

Must have missed it the first time I read the thread I will try to install it as update.zip through the standard recovery and see if that works.
Ok I was able to get this on my phone with RSD the trick is to have your phone in PC mode and NOT to reboot it yourself the program will do it automatically. I got my phone updated but now it wont even give me the option to download the update OTA.
Yea I could've told you not to manually reboot. So you did a SBF to 2.3.2 and went into Settings > About > and System Updates and got nothing?
Correct I redid the sbf twice more to make sure it took.. when I go to settings > about > and system updates its greyed out.
UPDATE: I dededeee it, forgot to reactivate my phone after sbf the 3rd time. trying the OTA now
Ok phone is upgraded and rerooted.
1. sbf with RSD 3 times till it took
2. upgrade with OTA
3. rerooted with One Button Root
4. replaced progs with titanium
phone is fast right now, lovin it.
Glad you FINALLY got it working. Try out CM7 for GB. Do a backup before doing so and see if you like it. If not you can always restore back.
I think I may have done something wrong. My phone works but it restarts randomly, is there a way I can get it to stop this? Should I start from scratch or just get a different ROM?
I think I flashed the wrong bootloader and messed everything up.
Phone has been bricked for about a week now.
Been doing research and tried a lot of .sbf's.
Nothing is working.
I think I need to clear my cache and/or wipe data, factory reset.
However I cannot get into stock recovery, just goes straight into bootloader.
This is the bootloader error code.

the stubborn 2.3.4
I was on 2.3.4 and got the same error when I tried flashing to 2.3.3
2.3.4 is currently still locked up tight and wont allow backwards flashing. I ended up flashing back to 2.3.4 and everything worked out fine, except the fact that i can't even root, of course.
Hello,
hope you can help me.
today i tried (noob as i am) to downgrade my phone from JB to GB. for some reason i needed (wanted) to flash the kernel and somewhere in that process when i connected my phone to my pc in the wrong way, windows told me to better format it. i was unable to connect to RSD lite and tried a bunch so i deceided to do so. and all was gone. stuck on motorola logo and stuff. finally managed to flash kernel with rsd but now i cant install any roms. im not alowed. and have the most basic bootinstaller ever (only 4 options).
i feel like i need to root my phone again but cant figure out how. or maybe the solution is something else i dont know. can anyone help me with this?

are you able to put your phone in bootloader mode ? and witch version you use to flash your phone with RSD use one of those
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_milestone2/list.php
yes i used the retail british 2.4
i am able to flash sbf file but it still wont go past moto logo and stock recovery cant install any roms. not allowed to install or something like that.
1 get to recovery mod (x button+power) do a wipe data then full reset
2 update the last boot loader with rsd
3 repeat step 1
4 sbf your phone with retail 2.3.6 like retail brazil then be patient and your phone will power up after many reboot (before that prepare (bootstrap.apk) in memory card)
5 root your phone using super one click then install bootstrap and get bootstrap recovery and you can install CM10 now it will make your phone boot normally
