I have been out of the loop for a while in Afghanistan.
Could anyone please tell me the correct SBF order to upgrade my DX from 2.3.15 to .595/6. maderstcok OTA will get me to 2.3.340 but what is after that?
Thanks for the help!
SBF to .340, then you will have to wait for the OTA update.
SBF to 340 and you can take the OTA or wait for TBH to release the rooted version
You can download the rooted version right now (12:30 PM, EDT) if you have the TBH app installed on your Droid X.

Thanks again for the help, that's what I needed to know. I'm about to download the TBH app right now.
Im running 595 deodexed Zapx custom rom.
Can I just flash the deodexed 596 version over what im using now without wiping ? Will my custom rom still work?

Can I update ota if I rooted my phone, flashed a new rom, added a theme? Haven't messed with deleting bloatware.... if I can't update ota is the only way to update to .340 is downloading the update.zip right?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Root doesn't matter. The rom and theme are probably going to kill you. Try getting a stock odexed 2.3.15 rom from somewhere. I'm pretty sure you could get it from the TBH app. If that doesn't work and you really want to go the OTA method, you'll have to SBF back to 2.3.15.
The other method would be to get the 2.3.320 update.zip (for the bootloader+kernel) from TBH, and then flash their system only 2.3.340 SBF.
My buddy with a Droid X that I rooted for him and installed GummyJar on went in to rom manager and tried to install a Gingerbread-based ROM. I assume that you can't do that until you upgrade to stock gingerbread first because it didn't like it.
Now it appears to be in a boot loop and I can't get in to clockwork recovery. What do I do?

Should I do the OTA upgrade after the SBF?

No because you will lose root unless you don't want to be rooted. The OTA is unrootable at the moment

This will help
Follow the instructions below to return to froyo or upgrade to gb rooted or not.
Check out these links.
Link 1 makes a linux CD that you can use to SBF back to Froyo in about 10 minutes. This is a very easy method to get back to froyo. If you can burn an iso file to a CD then you can do this method.

Then you can use z4root and install pre-rooted GB using the 2 flash method at link 2. Make sure that you use Droid 2 bootstrapper and not Droid X bootstrapper to install the rooted GB.
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/05/28/download-official-droidx-gingerbread-4-5-596-for-rooted-users/
Follow the instructions closely for ensured success.
This can all be done in about 30 to 45 minutes depending on your computer skills.

Gingerbreak does not work with .596 (OTA version of gingerbread). Must install pre-rooted version.
OK, you're the boss but glad it was written so others would know. So many details needed to be said. Thanks
I flashed the 2.3.6 TIM Brasil im my device, and they told me in a blog that i could not change to any custom rom anymore, so i thinked it would be a good idea to ask before trying... To install this rom(ms2ginger) i can use only the droid2bootstrap to recover the zip file or i need to follow the downgrade tutorial before?
(Sorry for my poor english...)
Edit:i flashed the ms2 ginger without using the tezet downgrade sbf and it worked!But camera preview is not working!It takes photos but i cannot see the preview... i must reflash the rom again and flash the downgraded sbf?

Edit: Since i flashed a full 2.3.6 rom does this mean that i will not have 720p recording in the ms2ginger?

Actually, as long as you don't update to Vivo 2.3.6 or the Personal 2.3.6 (argentinian carrier), you can go back to Froyo and install any custom rom you want, there's a tutorial in the Android Development section. Sorry I can't help you with ms2ginger, I haven't used it yet.
And why do you say that you'll not have 720p recording? I'm pretty sure it works.
720p is only working on official roms and argen2stone and ms2ginger coz this 2 roms are based on official roms, debloated and deblurred,

I already have seem the downgrade tutorial but i wanted to know if i need to downgrade before flashing ms2ginger since it is based on the stock roms but i will try to flash it and see what happens.
PS:i had asked about the camera because in his post walter79 said: "* via greenbreadmod 2.0 and if you never flashed a Android 2.3.6 full sbf" and I got a litlle confused... so thank you by the answer .

Hello,
I want to know if anybody knows a way to install custom roms on a rooted Droid 2 (2.3.4) with the latest bootloader. I've been trying, but I'm facing an annoying little problem. In order to root my Droid 2 with the latest bootloader, I needed to used the patched 2.3.4 firmware. Whenever I try to install a custom rom through CWM, I get an error telling me that the installation has failed. It says right before the error that I need to make sure I have the OTA update and not the leaked version. I can't get the OTA though because I'll be unable to root that one.
So, does anyone know a work around for installing a custom rom on a non OTA firmware? Any tips, suggestion, apps, links....just anything would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
CJKurow
Update:
I found a solution that I felt was risky, but I took the chance and it worked

official cm7 is the only rom that has a kernel check
removing it is not that risky
edit: other gb roms should install fine

& cm7 is based on 2.3.3/ 4.5.601
that's why kernel doesn't match
