I'm on the 2.3.320 leak, not going to .340 until an SBF comes out.

if you're on tranq 3.5.1 you're already on .340

I guess I am glad I didn't upgrade to .320
Sort of....

I had no idea Tranquility 3.5.1 had 2.3.340. I donate to several ROM teams (why not) and I am looking to see what Team DeFuse does with Fission 2.3->2.x build, hopefully it will include 2.3.340 soon. I really like the speed of their ROM.

so basically this .340 update is the same as the leak version? so if i manually somehow updated to this .340 am i able to use the latest sbf file?

3.40 is not the same as 3.20!
Personally, I'd like to know what the difference is between the two. I have the 3.20 leak and the 3.20 sbf but can I use them once i go to 3.40?

If there is any difference in .320 and .340 (beyond Madden of course) it isn't readily apparent. Someone can try doing a diff on the system files between Tranq 3.5.1 and stock .320, but the bootloader and kernel are the same. The baseband hasn't changed at all since 2.3.15.

When is the update going live?

As per Droid Life>>> DROID X 2.2.1 Update Will Be Available Tonight?
My question is, will I see the update?
I have flashed the leaked VRZ_MB810_2.3.32_1FF_01.sbf, I am not rooted and haven't removed any apps.

If u updated with TBH leak version you will have to wait for there patch or fix or whatever it is they are doing before you will be able to get the OTA.

I just got the DX update. I never signed up for the feedback network either. I pulled it.
Anyone know if we should hold off? dont want to lose root for good....

can you post the zip please?

Installed the update and lost root. It's also rebooting into clockwork recovery after powering down and back up. Reboot system option works. I was just rooted, no ROM or themes.

if clockwork mod is working then maybe you can reroot with an update.zip?

someone i follow on twitter @bandroidx says he has the update.zip

thanks but I mean a download link for the update.zip like @ megaupload/etc. He just says he got the update thats all. I keep getting download check not available.

Afraid I don't have this. I do have a nandroid backup and the .320 sbf. Can I restore the backup or flash the sbf if need be? Don't want a bricked phone...

Am pretty sure that I am booting into recovery because of how koush's bootstrap works. It was installed and since I don't have root it can't complete it's thing. In this case it might be a good thing

Z4root is supposedly working, try that.

Got the Offical GB OTA for my Droid X, How do we root??

So I got the official GingerBread OTA (Build 596) last night but I can't root it using gingerbreak and I use my phone to tether wirelessly on my tablet all day.
So my question is Has anyone rooted these build of GB and how?
Thanks

Does it cost mony to tether with the dx?

I'm in the same boat as you. (got a replacement phone today and the wife updated it before I got home) I assumed there would be a simple way to root after the OTA but it looks like for now that isn't the case. I'm just going to wait a few days and see what happens.

Luckily .596 uses the same boot loader as froyo .340 so you can simply sbf the phone back to .340 then reroot and update to the prerooted .596 that p3droid posted on mdw.

SBF and root. Then you can flash the rooted version. Pm me if you need instructions on how to SBF.
Tethering using the official app costs money but there are other tethering apps

Oh ok, so like where can i find the other apps, n are they free? Also my phone was rooted n i was runnin the stock rom but i just sbf'd the fone and updated to 2.3 ota, can i still root my fone with the z4root? Or do i have to wait for something else?

Sbf the phone then follow instructions here (video tutorial included)

No one ever reads the first sticky?
I wonder if people are put of by the word "Noob" in the sticky, maybe it should be renamed Everything you need to know about the DROID X.
Everything is explained in there up to Froyo and SBF

I sir was not put off by the word NOOB in the thread
That thread has saved my arse dozens of times so far and Im not to proud to say ive it bookmarked and reference it a lot. Thanks a million for that thread

The GB OTA is not rootable.......yet. If you want 596 and root SBF back to 340 and install the pre-rooted 596,or wait for the devs to get it.

[Q] z4 Rooted Droid X to Gingerbread

I have a Droid X that I have rooted using z4 Root. Will I have any problems if I un-root and then download and install Gingerbread? I realize that z4 Root can't root Gingerbread yet, but I was wondering if I could just un-root and then install the update and just wait to re-root it when z4 Root can do it? It seems like people are having issues with the X even though they un-root before they update. Why is this? Thank you all for your time. I appreciate it.

People usually have problems updating because they have deleted or frozen bloat in their system folder.
If you unroot, and replace any bloat you may have removed, you should be able to update without a hitch.
After you download the OTA Gingerbread you won't be able to gain root again. The only option is two flash a two part prerooted install of .596 Gingerbread provided by Team Black Hat.

Thank you much. I shouldn't have any problem then because I haven't frozen or deleted anything. Is the z4 Root developer going to try to make a version of z4 Root that will root Gingerbread?

I for one hope so. I want to be on Gingerbread, but the OCD in me wants the OTA.

Question- OTA? What does it stand for?

Over The Air.

I unrooted with z4 Root and did a wipe and a restore to factory reset. I tried to update to GingerBread 4 times but all four times it failed. Somehow, even in the return to factory wipe, ClockworkMod Recovery stays on the Droid X. Why? I think it is the ClockworkMod Recovery that is preventing me being able to update to GingerBread. Do you think that might be the cause? In other words, resetting it to factory condition doesn't really reset to factory condition. How do I fix this? Should I just stay rooted with z4 Root and wait for a way to update to GingerBread from you guys? I'm just not sure what to do. Thanks for your time. I'm running Android Version 2.2.1 with a System Version of 2.3.340.MB810.Verizon.en.US.

Root froyo with z4 then follow directions on this thread

Hello...Noob here. Question I did not indoor my DROID b4 downloading 2.3

i thought you wanted to update to gb? why would you want to stop it?
why dont you just update to the pre-rooted gingerbread. see here http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...-5-596-release-thread-something-everyone.html

I want to stop it because I have tried to install it 4 times and it has failed to install on all four attempts. It won't install so I don't want to waste the time and the data.

The link is not working for me either

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.
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/d...-solution-your-windows-rsd-lite-problems.html
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.

U can go directly from rooted froyo to rooted gb using TBH GBroot flash. Flash just like u would a rom, and u might need to install the update the kernal depending if you flash a rom. Its easy, just follow my link and scroll down to my post it gives u the steps

[Q] Noob trying to root. I need help!!

I'm currently running the System Version 4.5.602 on my DX. Never rooted before!!
My question is, where can I go to find out how to root my phone? Any links for the version I'm running? Or will I have to downgrade my version first? If so, where can I find out how to do that.
Much Thanks!!

a little help.
Look under pete's motorola root tools thread on this forum. everything u need is in there.....hope it helps.

Droidmodderx is a good one too
TappaTappaTappa

Google searching does wonders. Unless its something specific to this forum that I'm looking for, I usually google all my problems. Just add "droid x" to the end of your search so you know its for your phone.
As said before, Pete's Motorola tools is a good one.
On a side note...if you ever mess something up on your phone and need to SBF, MAKE SURE you have the .602 sbf file. I used to have 602 on my droidX and i ran an SBF for another version and none of my backup/restores prior to the SBF would work.

z4root also works.
You can also download it from the market (or from a google search)
edit... z4root may not work with a fresh .602 sbf (previously I sbf'ed to the previous release.. rooted then updated and that kept root)
Looks like pete's motorolla root tools is the best option right now

Also there are custom roms too. Find one you like follow directions. You'll be fine

[Q] Going from 2.2.1 to Gingerbread

Hello XDA, it has been a very long time since I have upgraded my droid x, and I have decided to finally take action.
I am currently running an old build of Liberty Mod that I installed a very long time ago for Android 2.2.1.
I have heard negative things about the newest update, so I was just wondering where I should find the correct update file for upgrading to the current rootable OTA and installing cyanogen.
All help is appreciated.

I was in a similar situation myself so I might've able to help. What I did was sbf to 2.2 (not sure of the sbf file name) then took the OTAs till I got to .605 (this was before the .621 was in soak test). Then I rooted and flashed cm. now since the .621 OTA is live you will have to be careful. I would suggest doing what I did except watch the name of the OTA VERY CAREFULLY. If you get prompted for the .621 do not take it as it is unrootable currently. I can get you links later when I'm at my computer if needed.

Thank you for the response. I see what you did worked, but I also found an interesting post on rootzwiki that would imply all you have to do is wipe, install the .605 AIO and then install the current CM4DX-GB. Should I just follow that guide?

Upgrading to .605 is really unnecessary. You can flash all Gingerbread and ICS roms from .602.
You just need to SBF to .602. From there you will be able to root and install CyanogenMod.

Thank you for your response. I went ahead and formatted, installed the team black hat .605 AIO, and then wiped again and installed cm4dx-gb. I'm really loving CM7 and Gingerbread. Thank you very much for all of the responses. This thread can be closed now.
