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.

[Q] Can't Flash Anything

My DroidX rooted 2.2 flyX rom won't flash anything now. I tried to flash the 2.3 keyboard and once I flashed it I couldn't get past the motorola boot logo. Also when I tried to restore my nandroid backup It wouldn't restore all the way. Can anybody help?

It could be because of FlyX. That ROM was like the first one for the DX and was released before the OTA FroYo. I would suggest SBFing and getting FroYo then trying one of the newer, supported ROMs.

Thanks for the information. Now if you could provide me with the information on how to back up all my apps and text messages and information and how to sbf and get me the file I would be very appreciative. Once again thank you.

A quick search on Google will provide you with everything you need.

Can you get Cyanogen for the Droid X?

[Q] cant update to 2.3.340

hi guys, i have a rooted droid x running froyo 2.2. today i got the option to update to 2.3.340 but when i go to install the update i get an error message saying it failed. Ive done some research before writing this thread. I have all the bloatware, nothing has been deleted or renamed. should i unroot and try again? thanks for your help. Adam

You can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869007 you have to flash each image one at a time. Or you can sbf the version your on and do the ota update and then reroot.

thanks for the reply. the link you sent me is a little confusing to me. given i may brick my phone i dont think im gonna try that. do you by any chance have a link giving me the files needed to sbf the version im on?. thanks, Adam

I can't link but they are on drewgaren . com in the category sbf and root.

Rooted Deodexed update

So I couldnt find a thread that quite answered my question. I have many ideas, but no sure answer, and I dont want a brick.
I have a rooted and Deodexed X on 2.2 that couldnt update to 340 for whatever reason. I want to update to OTA 340 and run the ApeX 141 ROM on that. Should I undo the root and reodex the phone before updating? Can I update it somehow as is and not have a brick? I saw something about doing an SBF, but Im not entirely sure if thats what I do...
Ive been away too long... ha

You could do an sbf, it is not too hard but if you don't know much about it you might as well try to stay away from it. What system version are you on exactly?

If you end up doing an sbf back to stock there are a few videos on youtube that walk you though the process. I watched xdroidroms and it worked perfect for me.

If you decide to sbf it will automatically put you on 2.3.340. Just download the full version not the system only file. After that z4 to root. Install bootstrap make a backup and flash away. Good luck. Don't worry doing an sbf is not hard. Just read and read some more.

I'm running that now, it's awesome.
2.2.1 rooted apex 1.4.1 honeybread v2

What I ended up doing was the Materstcok method. Seemed to be a lot easier then trying to learn sbf. Unfortunately I ended up having to do an sbf anyway because I tried deodexing for some reason. Haha. It all worked out in the end anyway. Loving the ApeX ROM as well!

Sbf wasn't as difficult as I thought, I used it to get back to stock in order to be able to flash gingerbread.
Droid X 2.3.3 Rooted

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?

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.
