The 2 part that takes you to .596 should work fine.

hey all-
looking for someone who might have a wiped (factory reset/data) OTA 2.2 nandroid. i was stupid, jumped the gun and flashed sbf back to 2.1 and ran the OTA update... didn't have any issues with the update but the phone just ran like crap after... dropped calls, random reboots, wifi fighting with 3g ect... i luckily saw the info about NOT flashing back to 2.1 from the ota... but doing some "trouble shooting" with a verizon rep, when he had me do a battery pull i noticed i booted to bootstrap recovery, i rolled the dice, hoped a nandroid backup would cause the issues a 2.1 sbf did and went back to a leaked 2.39 froyo. phone has been flawless since, but im starting to wonder if im forever stuck in "limbo" and if i get to the point of returning the phone, id like to be able to do that with the ota... ive seen several clean nandroids of the 2.2 leak and thought if anyone was running a stock 2.2 ota... factory reset and nandroid?

i could make that for you, it will be rooted of course, with some slight build.props in there.
Check my thread. >>> Deodex OTA 2.2 <<<

A clean OTA 2.2 Rooted Deodex Nandroid should be completed shortly.
Sounds GREAT!

I'm currently on the leaked 2.3.15 and wanted to know if I restored your nandroid for only the system, would I be running the OTA without updating anything else like the bootloader?

thanks a ton... is this with a factory wipe, or do i need to wipe after boot?
and wouldn't the stock OTA be odexed? would verizon be able to tell the difference?

its already wiped, but if u have problems just wipe again... and no they can't tell unless they check into the system files which they don't need to touch at all.
I need this File but it is no longer availiable on rapidshare
Hi this is just the file i need to revert my droid 2 to stock because i was too stupid not to back up my droid before i put a crazy amount of rooted things on it so now i cannot update it, but i really just want to revert it back to stock n im pretty positive that i need this file. Please can someone reupload this file. Thx
NM i was to blind to see that this was for droid x thx anyway
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.

I would like to use this post to document any way to manual root .596 gingerbread. I know p3droid is doing awesome work building prerooted updates but having a manual route is always nice.
Thank you everyone.
Edit...mistyped version number.

Its .596 ................
I did. Since I was on the .595 and I had the older radio, I had to SBF back to 2.3.340 first and because of that I had to lose my recent data (last froyo nandroid was two months ago). Anyways it seems to be nearly identical to the .595 once it is up and running. My two cents
I have an X that's running stock Gingerbread, and I'd like to root it. So a manual root method that doesn't require SBFing back to Froyo would be very welcome...
Why does everyone act like SBF'ing is so hard? It takes ten to fifteen minutes and has the same amount if not less risk than flashing a rom
It's not that it is hard, but at least I would hate to loose all my data & time spent setting up the phone.
But if this is the only method of getting root I will be sbf'ing soon. But I wonder what this means for the Droid X2 which I assume is already on GB 596 out of the box. So can the X2 not ever be rooted since there is no 340 to go back too???
I am also curious about manual rooting. I don't have a problem SBF'ing and have done it many times. I would like to learn more about Android and its internals.

I used Titanium Backup to backup all apps and user data, then restore after the upgrade to GB. Don't have to spend a ton of time setting up the phone.
It's the configuring the phone, not the SBF that's the issue
I concur -- SBF is simply, straight forward and quick. The problem is the amount of time it takes to get the phone set up again, especially moving from one flavor of Android to another. I've got 15 minutes to SBF. I don't have the hour or two to fiddle with the apps, configurations, etc.
So I second the call for a method to root stock Gingerbread. I miss my ad blocker...
I have read that gingerbreak works intermittently on some but not all .596 droid x's.
Current method to root works fine thanks to P3droid method 2. If you already have a prerooted 2.2 running the latest OTA you just need two files to install and you will have a .596 rooted droid x. If you jumped the gun and installed the OTA... then yes you need to find a way to root your .596...
Setting up SBF for the first time is not difficult just a little scary. Luckily there are alot of guides out there to help and the bootloader didn't change. Good luck!

its kinda weird but the droid x2 shipps with 2.2.2, just the newer form of blur like the gingerbread droid x has. Also, it has been able to be rooted by gingerbreak so i guess there's some hope.
Going on 2 1/2 hours now.. Nothing but problems... I got all the way to installing Liberty, restarted, and got stuck at the Liberty boot logo.. Now I'm having to SBF back to 2.3.340, root, back to GB leak, then try again... I wanna pull my hair out and throw my phone against the wall...
Did you clear data the first time?

Yea, I've done it all. Nothing seems to be working. Sbfing back to 2.3.340 AGAIN!
Are you trying to flash a deodexed or odexed version of GB? if so you need to flash a rooted version of the official ota updated before flashing the custom GB.
If you are SBF'ing back to 2.3.340, then you might as well give CM4DX (CM7 for DX) a try. The beta was released yesterday, but of course, there are bugs that still need to be worked out.
I'm really loving it though...
Isn't 3g broken on it?

I'm gonna wait until they fix all of the bugs. I just got Liberty last night, but didn't realize there was a new version for GB. I just posted a thread about an error I'm getting trying to sbf to gb. Anyone know what this could be?

So for the last few days I have decided to root my phone but it is so confusing for me.
Droid x specs: 2.3 gingerbread... 596
baseband ends in 12p
my friend told me to use clockwork reset or reformat... something like that and then use clock work root.
ive been googling and using this website forever and i need help.
I would appreciate it if somebody could walk me through this. Thank you

thx bro do i get boot strapper from online? and for titaniium back up and stuff how do i do the rom back ups sorry for being stupid im just new to this
Thanks
Also, on the app store bootstrap says " YOU MUST BE ROOTED TO USE THIS APPLICATION. FOR DROID X ONLY."
and u said use this then root... im confused.
If you dive into this before your really ready, it's likely that you'll end up with a brick and not know how to back out. The only solution is to search and read until you are comfortable with the entire process. Google tutorials on how to root gingerbread stock. It involves SBFing back to froyo, rooting with z4root, installing bootstrap, and flashing, but that is only the broadest of summaries. You really should understand the whole process BEFORE jumping in. That said, it's not really all that hard with a little research. Good luck!
i got my dx about a week ago. i am rooted running cm7 nightlies now. i came from the inc and ran new roms every week on that and kernels and new recoveries all the time. it took a day or so to understand how the dx works...
this is what i found
my dx came with 2.3 on it. i tried z4root and gingerbreak and neither worked. after reading alot i found sbf looked like the best route. I sbf'd back to 2.2 (Froyo) I then ran z4root and bang I had root. rebooted and i used dxgbrooted stock image. i downloaded both dx bootstrapper and d2 bootstrapper. d2 is for gb based roms, dx is for 2.2 based. i had a bunch of trouble with the bootstrappers and it was annoying. i continued to run the dxgbrooted rom and i hated it, it so freaking slow and crappy. i then flashed a nightly of cm7 and i bootlooped, so i had to sbf and root the thing again and reinstall cm7 nightly, i havent been happier since. these stock based roms and cool UI features motoblur and sense, they suck IMO and i like vanilla or cm7.
