Having two different issues with my phone.
SBF'd with .596. Rooted with Z4, using Droid2 bootstrap.
For one: I can't reboot into bootstrap through the app. I have to use the old fashion way.
For two: Any time I try to install any update zip files, I get an exception error. Doesn't matter what type of update it is.
Specifically, I've been trying to flash a wugfresh wireless tether update so I can use it on the stock .596, but no dice.
What could be wrong, and what could I do to remedy?
Your problem may be that Z4root can't root Gingerbread.

These are the steps I followed essentially.

SBF to Froyo. Root with Z4. Install D2 bootstrap. Flash two-part blur zip files. Done.
I used Z4 to root froyo, and install GB over it. Not to root GB

I have unrooted reset all the factory software. Everytime I try to install the update it gets about 25% and errors and reboots. It says Failed to update.
Anyone have this issue?
Nowhere near enough info provided. Are trying to update via sbf, if so what OS. Trying to use the update manager from phone to upgrade via ota? Trying to flash the update.zip through recovery?

trying to update using the update manager via OTA.
I had this issue. I had Koush's Bootstrap (clockworkmod) installed, and I'm assuming that interfered with the process. Even when I unrooted and uninstalled, I think the recovery was still modified.
I was able to SBF 2.3.20.
I am sure this is going to be a stupid question but what is sbf and how do I do it?
I am new to droid but not new linux. Thanks for all the help so far.

System Boot File. Check this section out on how to SBF. It explains the Mac, Windows, and Linux instructions.

For this you need to be running the ROOTED Gingerbread leak on a Droid X.
IF YOU HAVE MADE MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR FRAMEWORK-RES.APK, DO NOT USE THIS FILE. You'll have to make your own.
All thanks go to the guys in this thread for directions. This is just the finished framework-res.apk
Flashable zip:

I posted this in the other thread as well. I created a zip that you can flash from clockwork.
1. download to somewhere on sdcard
2. boot into clockwork
3. make a backup
4. install zip from sdcard, etc.
5. reboot

Anyone have any idea why my Clockwork Bootstrap is not working?
I'm on the leaked rooted GB, trying to bootstrap recovery to install CRT animation.
I know my root works because I've used root explorer just fine.
I load up Koush's Bootstrap Recovery, Bootstrap, get the Success message (first time I ran it I approved Superuser permissions), I then Reboot Recovery.
Upon reboot, I get the red Motorola logo followed by nothing but a blank screen. It requires a battery pull at this point, upon which it then just boots normal afterward.
I've rinsed and repeated several times and I've uninstalled and reinstalled Koush's Bootstrap as well....same issue.

I believe you have to use the droid 2 bootstrap to be able to get into recovery

Ahh...so I have to purchase the Droid 2 Bootstrap now too...
Yup would have to use D2 bootstrap, its too bad that since already had dx bootstrap purchased .
Why doesnt the dx bootstrap work ?

You can get it for free from the Gingerbread prerelease thread on My Droid World

Free? Is this sanctioned by Koush, or did someone just illegally post a pirated apk up without the author's permission? I'm all about free stuff, but I'm not looking to rip anyone off.

Koush gave away both apks free on his website, but the links are broken now.

Just wanted to let folks know who may be interested in trying out the new CyanogenMod 7.2 rc1 Shadow for our Droid X that you may experience a problem like I did when you try and flash this build.
I had already taken the .621 OTA update (which made me lose root) and then flashed the Milestone X .604 sbf file (which leaves our baseband radio alone for data) using sbf_flash in linux, then using the zerg root tool to regain root on this phone, then used the Droid 2 Bootstrap to get to clockwork recovery.
When I flashed this build I get the dreaded bootloader error screen after the reboot. I've tried this CM7.2rc1 twice now and each time after I reboot it shows me the bootloader screen with an error code and doesn't go any further.
It didn't give me any problems when I flashed an unofficial CM9 beta though. It's running fine on this phone.

I don't remember the version if you're asking for the version of cwm recovery the droid 2 bootstrapper installed on my phone before I flashed the CM9 beta.
However, there are a lot of folks reporting the same issue over on RootzWiki about not unnecessarily this CM7.2r1 but with flashing any non-2nd-init roms after going from .621 to .604.

Full process (assuming you know exact details to do each step)
1: SBF 621 with RSD Lite to make sure you have 15p Radio
2: SBF 604 in Linux to install 604 Rootable system.
3: Root with Zergrush V4
4: Use Droid 2 Bootstrap to bootstrap recovery
5: Install ROM Manager
6: Install latest CWM (Droid X version NOT DROID X 2ND INIT) using Rom Manager
7: Copy your ROM zip or previous nandroid backup to SD card.
8: Reboot into recovery from Rom Manager
9: Clear User data/Factory reset
10: For good measure, wipe cache as well.
11a: Install zip from SD card, install your rom
11b: Restore previous 602/605 GB nandroid backup.
12: Reboot and eat bacon with your awesome phone

Looks like you need the latest DX CWM.
So the official Droid X nightlies are finally on the Gingerbread kernel?

Not working for me. I've done every step in that list over the past day and no luck, I'm still getting the error when I try to flash cm7. I'm using CWM 5.0.2.0, the one that ROM Manager updated it to for me and still nothing.

This may still be based on the Froyo kernel. I haven't heard otherwise.

How can I safely update 4.5.91 to latest ota? My bootloader is locked, my phone is rooted with something called fastboot.
The ota update notification is getting annoying. Please help.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
Just an FYI, "fastboot" is a protocol used to flash system files:
http://www.androidcentral.com/android-z-what-fastboot
Either way, if you want to stop the notifications you can use a root file manager (such as Root Explorer) to freeze the "Updater.apk" (or Upgrader.apk?) in the /system/app folder by adding a ".bak" to the end and rebooting.
You can maybe try "rootkeeper" and do the OTA but I don't know the extent of your modifications so I really can't recommend that.
Or you can take the leap and unlock the bootloader and flash custom ROMs.

Or he can use the Automatic Update (PC Only) from here if he wants to stay stock:
http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-EN/Android_Products/ATRIX-4G_Software_Update_Page
That will flash the 141 sbf onto your phone so you will lose root
Then you can re-root using the preinstall method using Fastboot again.
or just root / unlock and load a custom rom They are FAR superior that any stock atrix firmware! period!

ok, i was able to unroot and run OTA using these directions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22723943&postcount=15
how can i root now? is there any method other then preinstall method?
hello all, I am a noob when it comes to modding my smartphone however I am somewhat tech savvy. I have a problem getting cyanogenmod 7.2.0 to install on my rooted milestone x. I have been told that a milestone x is just another droid x port. I have already rooted my phone with super one click 2.3.3.0. I have backed up my phone with Titanium Backup Premium and installed ROM Manager Premium. I followed the instructions on various webpages but I get an error when trying to install the mod. The error is:
- Install from sdcard ...
Finding update package ...
Opening update package ...
Verifying update package ..
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Now here is my specs:
Model - milestone x
system version - 4.5.604.MB809.ACG-nTelos.en.US
Android Version - 2.3.5
Kernel version - 2.6.32.9-geadffa3
[email protected] #1
Build Number - 4.5.1_57_MX2-34
Now I will tell you I was trying to flash the rom in the stock recovery because I didn't realize until later that it wasn't in clockworkmod recovery. Herein lies the problem, I can't get into CWM recovery no matter what I've tried on the net searching for answers. I have downloaded droid 2 bootstrapper as well. I can't find a working link to droid x bootstrapper. Am I just stuck with my stock X or is there hope?
official cm7 has a kernel check, use a version with kernel check removed
but your log post did not show that
dx bootstrap only worked with 2.2 froyo

now i seem to be stuck at a red M logo after opening droid 2 bootstrapper, click on bootstrap recovery, click on ok at the success prompt, click on reboot recovery. only way to move past this is to pull the battery then it will reboot no problem into stock 2.3.5. if i hold power and hard home key it will go into stock recovery every time but still no CWM recovery. I have no idea why this is everyone else seems to have no problem getting into CWM.
I don't remember anything special, needed for the MX
which D2 Bootstrap, the one from market?
I would remove bootstrap app from menu>settings>applications>Manage applications>Droid 2 bootstrap tap force stop then uninstall
using a file manager/root browser with root access go to
/preinstall/recovery select recovery.zip rename recovery.zip.bak
then install the Modified Droid 2/X Bootstrapper, or Droid 3 Recovery Bootstrap
