Some users report that the OTA update (Android 2.3.3) is live right now.
Check your updates Settings>About phone>System updates and report issues.
It is, got it last night on the wife's D2.
Have they rooted it yet? I need to get titanium backup on there and restore her apps, she's freaking out!

Sadly, this didn't work for me. Has the droid 3 method worked for anyone else?
It didn't work for you? Did you follow the instructions correctly? No one has reported any problems with it so far

Had to try it twice, first time didn't recognize it. Worked fine.
Working great for me. I SBF'd back to stock from the gingerbread leak, downloaded and installed the update over wifi in about 10 minutes. Rooted using the D3 method and flashed the latest CM7GB. Working like a boss.

Ran it several times, I see the SU binary in the system/bin directory and busybox, but barnacle and titanium are unable to obtain root.
Well I changed the script from xbin to bin and it seems to work now. Still unable to get Barnacle going, but closer.
That figures. Day after i leave big red and get my g2x, gb goes live for the d2 lol. niiiiice

This worked for me to root after the OTA.
How come says its rooted but when I use WiFi tether it says I'm not
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Go to your app drawer and look for a skull and crossbones Superuser app. Click it and see if you can add wifi tether to the list. If that icon is not there, you're not rooted.
It's there but when I press to turn it on it says I'm not rooted

I would run one click root again, if that does not work, SBF back to stock and then re-flash GB OTA and root once more.

Yeah, Z4Root worked for me on stock Eclair. It just took a couple attempts for it to finally work. The first time it just sat there forever, so I pulled the battery, booted back up, tried again then it worked.

Well, it doesn't work on mine.
Netflix no longer works on either of my DX or my Optimus, used to work on both.
I cannot see the "stock" app in the Android Market, but I did run it from a link, the Netflix selection comes up, but when I play a video, after "Loading...."I get an error 1101 "sorry we could not reach the netflix service."
I have also tried running a modified version that did work previously for some, just not for me.
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks.
Thanks got it to work again. I dont know if i used that file on that link i posted a couple different places and download 4 diff suggestions 1 of the 4 worked. Like I said it worked fine up untili yesterday since i put it on then out of blue sorry new version available and sent me to market but nothing in market cause of droidx.
I updated to the 595 leak when it first came out and so i lost root. I know i could gingerbreak it but i installed gingerbreak but didnt run it until i decided somem came accross me where i needed root access . so mines not rooted and ive been running for weeks up until yesterday but its back up again !!
Thanks to eveyrone who contributed in this section !!!!!

None work on my rooted gb leak either, I just get the white screen on start up. I made it to the log in page once and that was it. I tried all the first page links in the big one in the apps section, and all the updated links in the later pages
Try the one at the droidmodderx link it works on my .596 gingerbread

You need to uninstall the old version first....then load the updated...I've done about 10 phones since the update, all working fine, (most are DX).
Works perfect.
Netflix was just updated today (June 16) and it now natively supports the Droid X. No more hacks! Just search for it on the Market and enjoy.
Got my atrix today. Still tryna get used to a 4 inch screen. Havent rooted yet (usually root my devices the second they get there first charge) but seems as if everything is beta rite now. Question though, would the updated motoblur launcher work without root? Like sidload the apk?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
use gingerbreak to root and the launcher probably wont work, havnt seen anyone mention it anyway
No you cant sideload apps out of the box. You first need to root with gingerbreak method and then use the gladenable script to enable sideloading.

I was thinking of using the side loading wonder machine. And to root,dont I have to rsd sbf 1.8.3 first? Anyways,thanks for the answers
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Congrats! Ateix is a great device. Easiest way to install Nonmarket apps is to go to Android store n purchase "Non Market apps Enabler" created by fellow member here. Only costs 1 dollar somethn. Enables the checkbox n options to enable non market app installs. Works instantly. No side loading n all that needed. Saves a ton of Time n hassle. I got it n was installing non market apps instantly with it!
If its a UK spec one, you can side load without doing anything... Otherwise rooting will be required

Seriously, it's stickied man.
You're going to have to SBF him to .340 first and then follow that thread.
I suggest backing up his apps with this https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rerware.android.MyBackup&feature=search_result
first...but he'll lose all of his app data since he isn't currently rooted and can't use Titanium.
If you're super crafty and patient, maybe you can try using ADB to pull the data for him...and obviously push it back once he's up and running again.
Sorry, I sent this from my phone late last night, I haven't rooted a phone in a while..
I am a noob, what is ADB? I know the term, I just forgot..

Edit: also, if I do the method posted above where I downgrade to froyo, then manually upgrade to gingerbread, will I be rooted once I'm back on gingerbread?

My assumption is he has a new stock X fresh from VZ running 4.5.596... You can sbf back to froyo from an OTA? huh... news to me!
