Before some one lights my keister up over this being a repeat I did search and did not find direct information.
I have 4.1.83 and want to upgrade to 4.5.91.
I have glad root installed. (I love it) And want to know what steps I need to take to get my phone ready to do the update.
Thanks in advance for your help.
I am stupid...
Forgot to unfreeze my bloat...
Updated last night now trying for root...

I hate to do this because it might be somewhere else but I have 2.3.15 on my X and I want to get back to stock so that I can get the OTA .340 to start clean. The reason I'm posting on here is on all of the guides I've read about sbfing I am a little confused and see things about bootloader 10.03 and .04 and I have .01 and don't wanna brick obviously so I was wondering if someone could tell me what steps I need to take to get to stock so I can OTA?

I'm in the same boat, but the wiki doesn't give this n00b quite enough detail. I want to learn, but there's so much information out there, the pace of development is so fast, and there are so many 50-page threads full of "dude this is awesome!" posts, it's hard for me to make any sense of it.
I'm on 2.3.150, rooted with Z4 -- just got the phone two weeks ago. I like where my phone is, for the most part, but I'd like to experiment with some custom ROMs, and they appear mostly to be built on 320/340. I've got Titanium Backup installed, with much of the bloat frozen.
I deleted the 340 OTA file with Root Explorer a couple of times, because I'd seen a couple of people post on here that they quit getting the Verizon nags about installing the update.
Not only has that not worked (I'm still getting nagged), but the phone keeps downloading the update again. So, I'm just going to go ahead and jump to 340 with the rest of the DX world. But I need to know how to get from where I am now through the update and back to a rooted phone.
Do I need to go all the way back to stock first? Can I just unfreeze all the bloat, un-root, and let the install proceed? Once I've installed the update, then, how do I get back to where I am now?
There are so many threads with so much differing information, I don't have any idea where to start or what to expect. I don't want a $300 paperweight.
Help me, Obi Wan, you're my only hope!
As long as bloat is not removed, you can just un-freeze it and update. You re-root in thi same way you did on 2.3.15

Why do people keep making posts about rooting? It's easily done with GingerBreak.. the only thing you won't be able to do with 1.8.3 is install GreyBlur, GingerBlur, or Gladiatrix.

What he said!
Already a thread about this!
Ok a little help here guys, My DX is currently running ApeX1.4.0 Froyo and earlier today the Gingerbread update got pushed to my phone, now with my knowledge about rooted phones tells me that rooted phones DONT get official updates OTA and Im kinda freaked out that it will ruin my root or brick my phone at this point its downloaded to my phone and keeps asking me to install it, help me out here people!
If you want to stay rooted than do not install the ota! There hasn't been any method found to root the official version yet

What? No.
Op, it will just try to install, and then fail. Then you're all set. Nothing bad will happen
Thanks Jmoney47,hanone I was getting worried for a second there
Even if you did get it, you can still get back to froyo, but you don't have to worry
I realize I could probably find the answer to this question by digging around but just really quickly can someone tell me... if I have rooted my atrix and am running on ginngerblur... am I able to just download the update and install it with no consequences(besides losing root which sux ass)... because I am seeing all this RSD lite and soft bricking stuff which I am not familiar with at all.. so with a simple yes or no can someone please tell me if it is safe to just download the update thank you.. VERY much in advance...
yes it is safe to update, but it can/will be unsafe if in the future you try to downgrade. This is just the way the new update works is you go for the official update you will lose the ability to downgrade. If that does not bother you then go for it.
I think gingerblur adds mods for the hdmi mirror and webtop with out a dock. So I dont think it will update. It will probably fail to install. Could be wrong though because new update include webtop etc...

I think I read that the over the air method won't work..
Yes, if you have a PC just go this link and follow intructions... Only downfall after update to the GB is YOU WILL NOT ABLE to DOWNGRADE by any MOTO standard (RSD/MSU) but if you unlock the bootloader you can do what ever you want go back and foward....

You need a clean 4.1.83 to ensure being trouble free with the OTA.
ANY mods can cause the upgrade to fail. Motorola has said this over and over.
As stated above, I would do the hard wire update. I created a thread with a link here"

I'm the guy that got the update and posted the pictures. I'm in the process of rooting and getting S-OFF prior to running the update. But before I run the update, is there anything I can get off of my phone to help out the developers? The phone says it has downloaded and verified the update. If I can help, please tell me how. I'm not a complete noob, I have a rooted Nook and I previously installed ROMs on my Eris. But I would need the basic steps to get you what you need.
Thanks,
Todd
Edit: just saw that you posted in that thread toddsts

I don't know the precise steps but it requires having the phone hooked up to a pc, adb running, and run logcat when you accept the ota. You will then be able to find the internet address to the ota in the logcat file so that others can download it.
I can't believe this has been out for an entire day and no one has it posted yet. I'm so spoiled.
