My DroidX rooted 2.2 flyX rom won't flash anything now. I tried to flash the 2.3 keyboard and once I flashed it I couldn't get past the motorola boot logo. Also when I tried to restore my nandroid backup It wouldn't restore all the way. Can anybody help?
It could be because of FlyX. That ROM was like the first one for the DX and was released before the OTA FroYo. I would suggest SBFing and getting FroYo then trying one of the newer, supported ROMs.

Thanks for the information. Now if you could provide me with the information on how to back up all my apps and text messages and information and how to sbf and get me the file I would be very appreciative. Once again thank you.
A quick search on Google will provide you with everything you need.
Can you get Cyanogen for the Droid X?
What is the best way to go from a rooted 2.2 to a rooted 2.3?
Dan
I'd love to also, sadly it's not here and may never be.
Just install the OTA update it doesn't matter if you are rooted or not.

I updated to 2.3.340 while I was in the Verizon store when I got home I tried a slew of one click roots and the only one to get the job done was z4root it worked the first time

im on 2.2 rooted, but when i click to check for updates it says im up to date. what gives?
you have to be totally stock before it will let you update, if you're build.prop is far enough off it won't even show there is an update.
how do i go back to totally stock on 2.2? I renamed the bloatware .apk's back to the original files, what else is needed?
Hey XDA, relative noob here.
Currently running Liberty 1.5. With the donate Liberty toolbox can I go straight to the liberty gingerbread update? Or do I have to go through Liberty 2.0 then 2.0.1? Also, does the gingerbread liberty update include D2 bootstrap or do I need to get that now?
Thanks in advance.
Short answer....yes. There are basically 2 files located in their "Nightlies" ROM list. The first, "Full Install", is for users on Froyo (I'm sure that includes users that are running ROMs other than Liberty on Froyo). This .zip file will not only get you Liberty Gingerbread, but also get you updated to 2.3.3 (Gingerbread). The second is for users on the leaked Gingerbread. Hope this answers your question.
By the way, DX Bootstrap will work on Gingerbread. You should have to go to Settings/Applications/Development and uncheck "USB debugging".
So it won't matter what version of Froyo liberty I have? I can just flash straight to GB?
That is correct. First file, "Full Install", will get you both Gingerbread AND Liberty. Second file will get you Liberty for users already on leaked Gingerbread.
You are a saint my good man.
One last question, does the toolbox automate the process after the zip file is downloaded or will I have to go through clockwork manually and wipe data/cache and install zip?
I think it does take you through the process. However, I would install it manually, going through ClockworkMod Recovery (Bootstrap). Also, "wipe data/factory reset" 5 times then install from SD Card. It's always a good idea to do this to clean the heck out of the phone. Especially since you're upgrading to Gingerbread via a .zip file. Just talking from experience. Hope everything goes well.
By the way, it might take a while for the phone to boot, so make sure your phone is fully charged and give it like 10 minutes after it goes into the boot animation. Hope this helps.
If I already have rooted GB and I want to install Liberty, I will still be rooted after I install liberty correct?
Yes. In fact, that's how I installed it to try out the ROM. I was on the pre-released gingerbread, rooted, without any ROM. Then installed the 2nd file located in their 'nightlies'. It's ok, but I like Broodcomb 2.0. I'm sure once Liberty is fully up and running in Gingerbread, I'll switch over.

I was wondering why I could not do a back-up. Every time I tried to get to recovery I would have to pull or even once sbf. Thanks amzing how much info if you dig.
Hmm, not sure. I've been on Gingerbread now for a couple days without any issues backing up my data. Sorry to hear you're having issues. If anyone out there is having issues running Droid X Bootstrap on leaked Gingerbread, please respond.
I've gone from Liberty 1, Liberty 1.5, to 2.0, and now, Liberty GBv0.1
Absolutly STUNNING rom. It's continued to be the best ROM I've come across. Each update that comes brings with it a smoother experience. I love my Droid X like I love getting a new phone each time.
Amazing work by the Liberty team!
The only issue I had with DX Bootstrap was during the actual installation of Gingerbread. It bricked my phone both times I used DX Bootstrap, but when I used D2 Bootstrap it worked perfectly.
Ok. I am a huge liberty fan but I went to the GB leak as soon as it was rooted. I would really like to go ahead and get back to Liberty GB but I have a question. I have never updated to the. 588 build. I am still running the. 573 build. Is the new Liberty GB compatible with that version?

Good question. The Liberty ROM Manager doesn't state specifically which version of Gingerbread you need to be on. So, with that said, I can't imagine that it would matter between .573 and .588. I'm sure what's important is that you're on Android 2.3.3. Any reason as to why you wouldn't want to jump on the latest build? I'm sure there were some fixes addressed on .588.
Just never took the time to SBF back to Froyo...... This build has been very good to me.

Similar here...I installed the Original Rooted and Deoxed Gingerbread....Used it for a couple of weeks while trying to decide if I wanted to update to the "Official Version"...Then the Liberty Rom came out.....installed it over the Gingerbread version I had....and all was well.....I can't say enough good things about the battery life on Gingerbread....it is double what I was getting before (Liberty 1.5)...
Also fwiw...I was not able to get the Liberty Automatic install to work..I had to Manually boot up the D2 bootstrapper and do the usual process from there.
Well, to follow up on my post, I took the plunge. Its only been a few hours but everything seems to be working very well. Decided this morning to just dive in and see what happens....... And, just in case someone has the same question I did, I installed directly over .573 rooted, non-deodexed, and experienced ZERO issues with installation. Latest nightly also installed with zero issues....

Glad to hear everything went well. Sometimes you gotta do, what you gotta do, and play guinea pig.
Hey,
I'm coming from a rooted Thunderbolt and I understand a bit about flashing different roms, but this seems different.
My little brother decided that he wanted to update his Froyo X to the leaked gingerbread before it was rooted. Well, he did. But now he's getting random reboots and wants to either move back to Froyo or just move to something stable. What exactly needs to be done to do this?
Like I said, I have a rooted thunderbolt so I was exposed to using adb to get root. Would the process be similar in this case? Also, is there a way to flash back to Froyo without doing a full data wipe? He said he didn't do a wipe when he installed gingerbread.
Do a search on how to SBF for the Droid X. You can "sbf" back to stock froyo and reroot with z4root app. From there, he can upgrade to stable rooted GB or stay at froyo. If you'd like to know how to upgrade to a rooted version of GB, visit mydroidworld.com and there's lots of info there on how to do so and all the files you need.

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.

My question is why wouldn't you just install a ROM like Liberty and let them get you the most recent Android version?

Because as they said they are on an older version and haven't been keeping it up to date. They may have just been satisfied with how things were on their system version
