My setup -froyo, rooted and themed (no rom). 07 bootloader.
Tried to go to. 588 by three step process..... FAILED (error 7)
Tried to go to. 596 tbh 2 step method..... FAILED
Tried to sbf....... FAILED ( used 2 diff versions of rsd and downloaded full sbf 2 diff times)
Tried to take the OTA...... FAILED
The only good in all of this is the fact that I could restore my backup with nandroid, and I really don't mind froyo. It's been pretty good to me. For the love of God what have I done in a prior life to deserve this

What OS are you trying to sbf on? I had to rename the sbf and place it on the root of my C drive to get it to work
XP, it runs fine, sees my device, runs the sbf and fails at the end.

I would have to agree. I have done it twice now without any issues on my Ubuntu box. If you don't want to actually install Ubuntu you can run it off a thumbdrive or even a cd.
No idea what that is but I will do some googleing and give it a try. Thanks.

Why would Ubuntu make the sbf work? Also what is the process for doing the sbf with the operating system? Seems crazy but if it works, what the hell, I'll try it.

Because it's linux. And designed more for this kind of thing than windows.
It is incredibly simple because you enter one command in the terminal. And it just works. Pm me if you (or anyone here) want a link, the admin doesn't like me posting the site I use

Ok I've managed to get my device rooted and overclocked, I have Bootstrapper and Clockwork Mod. My question is am I deodexed and am I ready for themes now
No, you have three options:
1) Manually deodex your phone
2) Install a Rom that's already been deodexed
3) Download and flash your stock files for deodexed ones
Ok how do I know which themes have been deodexed already and how do I know what apex I have

If you browse the droid x themes and apps section of xda, the theme creator will tell you what has been deodexed or not. I know the 928 blackglass theme is deodexed already but I do not know of many themes that come deodexed. Of you wish to deodex your phone, search google for "xUltimate 2.2 Manually deodex your phone".
As for apex...this is a custom ROM, so this will not be running on yout phone yet, you would have to install it of this is the ROM you wish to run.

I have a feeling that after I deodex I'm still not done ...lol I actually tried loading the DXred theme the other day and it worked ..then I noticed that the dialer button didn't work then it killed my service ...ya think that happened because I was not properly deodexed?

Probably. After you deodex you should be ready for loading up a custom theme. Be sure to read any instructions specific to the theme you apply.

Ah, ok. Xultimate is an application that runs on your computer, not your phone.
If you have your phone rooted, and know how to use the Droid X bootstrap to install .zip files, then download this file:
http://www.mediafire.com/?gvvgnum0uma2huk
Run this with Droid X bootstrap and you will be deodexed, and not need xultimate.
Ok after a lot of research I finally understand the whole thing.....most if the themes I see on line you need a custom ROM to run them which of course I'm running stock therefore I have to choose from the stock ones which is cool. I found a pretty cool one called Executive Red and it's working perfect. Thank you very much for all of your help

No problem. Glad to hear you got where you want to be. I would recommend just doing some research, and when you feel like you're comfortable, try out one of the custom ROMs. I regret not jumping into one a little sooner. They really have a great advantage many times.
Look into themes from Bignadad. He does themes for liberty, rubix, and did one for the original 2.3.15 OTA. Check him out on twitter as well, and you can keep up on what he is working on. I would recommend Bignadad by far, he is in my opinion the most thorough with his themes, and they always look amazing.

Yes, it will say its there, but you cannot use it without paying (kinda). There is another mod, where you start the program, then put the plane in airplane mode, then disable airplane mode and it works as if you had subscribed to the service...
or there is the tbh hack.. which they say is unethical, and they don't condone, so please read the whole page before using this... just a disclaimer.

Hi I have been trying to flash SBF for about 2 weeks now. Can someone please point me to the 1.5.7 sbf that they know works. I have tried about 4 different files. And it either goes straight to processing and finishes in about 2mins then gives error, the other file goes fine and takes about 35min to finish but then gives the error cannot flash file.

Got this DX from a friend, thinking it might just be a SBF flash away from being fixed.
Won't boot past 'M' and couldn't even access stock recovery. I don't know what he did to it.
Anyway, I RSD'd it and it does it thing. RSD says phone rebooted and everything passed, but the phone is back at the bootloader. I pull the battery, put it back in and the bootloader is still there.
I do another RSD flash. This time it actually tries to reboot, but hangs at the 'M' again. I let it sit for about 20 minutes and it never changes and RSD says reboot manually. I do another battery pull and reboot it. Still stuck. Tried it with a different SBF for the X, same results. Battery is dead now, gonna charge it with my roommate's X in the morning.
Just wondering if anyone has come across this and knows a solution, if there even is one. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Note: I'm using RSDLite 5.5
I recommend trying an older version of RSD Lite. Try 4.8 or 4.9.

4.8 always worked for me. You should look into 1kds linux disc as well. Once you burn it you'll never use rsd again.

Press both camera buttons after attempting to access stock recovery by holding power and home. sbf using rsd lite 4.7 grab the full
flash sbf 3.3.340 /not system only file! Should be about 486,000mb. (Might need winrar to extract file before flashing with
rsd.)
Instruction: (1)Sbf 3.3.340 full flash
(2) When rsd says manually power up the phone. Disconnect from computer, and pull battery.(3) Boot holding home and power button. Click both volume keys down to access stock recovery.(4) Wipe data factory reset.
This worked for me! Good luck.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
So I tried using an older version of RSD (4.8) and got the same results, although I'm now stuck at the older white 'M' as opposed to the newer red one.
I used VRZ_MB810_2.3.34_1FF_01.sbf and still cannot access the stock recovery. I'm starting to think the phone is fubar. Anymore ideas?
Gonna try the linux way in a few.
Since you have the white motorola its on 340, so thats a good sign. Did you try to burn 1kds? Google stuck at white moforola. I'm pretty sure your phone isn't fubared

I'm nearly positive an SBF is the only remedy. The issues everyone seem to be having with SBFing is very odd.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
use linux ... its easy
I's guessing your sbf file is not right in the head somehow. I would try redownloading the sbf and make very sure it is for the version of bootloader you are on. ALSO might try an sbf from linux. I have had lots of problems with RSD Lite in Windows that seem to solve themselves in linux, plus with linux there are no drivers to install. I will private message you with some good instructions with a type of ALL in ONE process. let me know if u have any problems..

This is not really a root method. This flashes Milestone X rom on the Droid X, which does actually root, but the baseband is incompatible and will not work in the U.S. So you can have a rooted phone, which you can't actually use. It might be possible to CWM over the Milestone X ROM and flash a new baseband.. if I could find one.

This method works. My DX's version is 621, you can remove RADIO in MB809_2.3.5.SBF use "SBFCodec.exe", remove RDL1 and CG3, save this file as no radio SBF, flash this to your DX, your DX will run under BP_C_01.09.15P, this is Verizon's baseband.
yup, it works.

This method does work. If you use the linux sbf_flash method it will not overwrite the baseband and you will keep your data connection. If you use RSD_Lite in Windows it will overwrite the baseband and you will lose your data connection capabilities.
I made my laptop a dual boot with Windows and Ubuntu just for this because I was stuck on .621 without root and had tried to flash the Milestone X .604 via Windows and couldn't get the data to work (I could've called Verizon support and had them reset it but I decided to give flashing in linux a go). So I followed posted instructions at the other sites and flashed it in linux and got root back with baseband still active.
Now I'm test driving a CM9 beta on it I got off of Rootzwiki. I am already up for renewal for my Verizon contract so I can get almost any phone they have for free or perhaps $100 out of pocket after all the discounts (new every two, loyalty, trade in of current phone) but I am waiting for the Droid Fighter to drop in about a month. It's rumored to be a quad-core Motorola phone with a 4.7 inch screen and 4G.
User 1KDS over at DroidXForums is working on making a bootable linux image (he already has a bunch) that will incorporate this Milestone X sbf for those of us that do not or did not have a linux machine handy.
Does petes root tool not work on this version?
