I flashed the Deodexed .596 onto my phone back when it came out. Is there anything newer to flash too? I have constant problems with .596 it is terrible, it lags like crazy, will literally stop responding to my inputs for 30 seconds randomly reboot it just never ends.
I do use Launcher Pro and have nothing but problems sometime I will go to my app drawer and it will be empty etc. I have had to put some of my shortcuts on my main screen since sometimes I cant get them from app drawer. Half the time when it boots it crashes LP and Force Closes it.
Any help would be great.
The latest OTA version is .605.
I would recommend SBFing to .596 (just to be safe) then taking the OTA. This will make sure that everything is right where it's supposed to be.

The newest sbf is actually 602... You can do that... And no real need to ota to 605... In my opinion anyways... because the only real difference is a keyboard fix for the stock keyboard
Post script: 602 is way better then 596... I wasn't able to stand that build... Or even the roms that were based off of it
We have nothing to feat but running out of beer
Is there a Rom I can flash to get to .602?
If you have either premium versions of Rom Manager or Rom Toolbox from the android market...
There are .zips to take you from any kernel up to .602.
You'll have to do that or SBF to 602 (my recommendation) before flashing any 602/605 based rom.

Ok so I have an issue where i was flashing the ROM Tranquility for my droid x and it was difficult to get it running but now it seems to be going ok. But now I'm trying to restore all my apps using Titanium and for some reason as soon as i try to restore even one, the phone quick reboots. PLEASE HELP, becuz i have a TON of apps that i just dont really wanna go reinstall every single one
I had the same issue with tranquility...
Not sure what went wrong.
I was also unable to install apps from the market.
Buuut...I personally wasn't all that thrilled with it anyway...and went back to Apex rather than bothering with it.
I hope you find a fix though!
EDIT:
I found our problem...with a quick search.
I haven't tried yet (I prefer apex anyway) but the install is this...
SBF 2.3.320
Then SBF 2.3.340.
The .340 isn't a full sbf and merely updates the files that are intended to be updated by...the update.
We were essentially installing over mock stock.
Then, I heard you must wipe your phone 2-4 times. Not just once. As an added precaution.
So, everyone has heard that team black hat has released the new moto gingerbread for D2 and DX. Has anyone gotten theirs to work properly? I'll list the problems.
1. I literally waited for my phone to actually call out for fifteen minutes after dialing a number and tapping the send button.
2. All around sluggish and slow like honeycomb.
3. Motorola stock launcher will not open. Period. And most blur widgets and actions will automatically shut you out when you try to access them. Sometimes even text messaging!
4. Desk clock takes about three to five minutes to actually show up after placing the phone onto the dock and then three to five minutes for the phone to realize that it's been taken off of its dock.
These are just some that I noticed. Am I doing something wrong or is team black hat's material simply junk? I tried the rooted version and overclock to 1.3 GHz and it still did not work, by the way. So if anyone has some good advice or tips or anything, let me know. And I would like to know if this has happened to anyone else. Thanks!

When you upgraded, did you clear the cache and the data in recovery?

You know I don't know that I did... Are you running on the team black hat?
I wiped everything and now it seems to be working perfectly. Thanks!
I'm glad to see that you got it running so smoothly, hope your enjoying it

No. I'm not on Team Blackhat. The instructions are that you clear the cache and wipe the data in the bootloader before applying the update.
Soooo.... Is anyone out there running any GB rom > 2.3.3 4.5.153? If so... How the F* did you do it???
Tried loading the Deodexed 4.5.595 from the STOCK VRZ_A955_2.3.20.sbf flashed phone... and upon reboot, All I got was a string of errors on the boot loader.
I also tried loading 4.5.588 and I can never get past part 1 of the 3 part zips. The beginning of the script looks for an app that should have come with the device (which it can't find) and then proceeds to fail the installation.
I have not tried downloading an accountandsyncsettings.apk (the file it is looking for) and dropping it into the app folder.
Installed multiple 2.3.20 sbf files
Downloaded part 1 of 588 from all 3 mirrors (MD5s are identical on all 3)
maderstocked the phone (I know it was a dx firmware) and cooked the bootloader
All 3 zips were in the root of the SDcard.
4.5.153 is actually working perfectly... I just like to keep things current is all.

As far as I know, .153 is the current working leak for the Droid 2. The Droid X leaks have gone up to .595 I think, but not compatible yet with Droid 2 completely.
Honestly, .153 IMO is the best you're going to get until the OTA for Droid 2 arrives, which should hopefully be sometime soon after the Droid X and Droid X2.
I'm running.588 buy whenever i try to flash .595 it continues to boot loop then I have to sbf back and flash everything again any suggestions i tried everything

I had similar issues getting to .588
My solution was to redownload everything and I found that one of the links (the one from the upgrade video I think) was a bad file of Z4root - I used a different link and after that everything worked.
Guess what I'm trying to say is re-download everything and use a different source because one bad file will kill you.
Isn't there a .591 you need to update to first? At least, that's the route I took.
It is worth noting that the .591 I used had a flawed root, but I still managed to get to the bootloader for the .595 step without fixing the problem.
Also, make sure you don't use the ODEXed rooted version of .595, as it will cause boot loops the first time you try to access the bootstrap. The deODEXed rooted rom is what I am using.
You can go from .588 directly to .595. I've done it. Just make sure you use the dodexed version. The odexed version has problems.

So i was on liberty rom 2.0.1 and wanted to upgrade to the latest version in the nightlys. So i SBF back to version 2.3.320.MB810 and when i go to settings -> about phone -> systems update, it says i am already up to date. Can i get to gingerbread from this version or do i need to sbf to 2.3.340 to get to gingerbread.
I think you have to be on. 340, but I wouldn't encourage you to take the OTA to GB, download a prerooted .596 GB (team black hat...) then go from there.

So i sbf to .340 and tried to install the tbh .596 GB update, with the part1 and part 2 files. When i boot into recovery and try to apply the zip it give a error code of 7 during validation of the current system. According to the instructions the only thing i am not doing exactly is i am using the droid x boot straper not the droid 2. would that cause this. dont see the need to spend 3 bucks on something i already have
Try turning off USB Debugging prior to booting into recovery. I think I read somewhere that Droid X bootstrapper works fine as long as you do that first.
Ok so i hope someone can help me out on this i finally got to a TBH rooted GB install.
My next step is to get back on liberty because i just cant stand motoblur, gingerblut is a bit better than what came with froyo but it still sucks. the battery life is terrible and i cant stand all the bloat ware and crappy widgets.
I am not sure what issue i am having 3g data worked fine in liberty GB0.4 but if i ever moved past that it would stop working. So i spent a day and sbf to .340 then installed the TBH rooted stock GB. I then downloaded the libertyGB0.8 did a data wipe and installed it. No 3g data. I really love liberty have donated to them buying the pro toolbox and such. I really want to get back to liberty but i guess if i have to find a different rom i will . Anyone have any idea as to why if i go past liberty 0.4 i loose 3g?
Ok so this issue has expanded past just liberty. I tried to flash apex 2.0 rc1 with the same issue no 3g data. Phone calls and all of that work but no 3g data. i would really like some help with this dont want to get stuck on moto ginger. Will more than likely just go buy a different phone if i cant get this to work
You just need to flash the updated kernal. I had the same problem, and fixed it. let me see if I can find the thread with the info. All u need to do is download the zip file, put on sd card and flash. and itll work just fine. Ill look it up and post back. The 591_kernel_update.zip is what you need
Here is the file:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/liberty-rom-dx/151857-no-3g-liberty-gb-0-7-a.html
I've been running Liberty on my Droid X for some time now and love it compared to the stock Blur interface. But it's gotten to the point where I'd like to update from Froyo to one of the more modern versions and see if that can liven up the phone again. So my question is this - from what I've read before I can update Liberty (or any other ROM for that matter) from a Froyo based version I need to restore the phone to a semi-stock state, update via an official OTA release, re-root and go from there. Is that true? If so, any convenient guide on how to do so? I did a bit of searching and couldn't find much and while I'm pretty technically inclined my skills do not extend into the phone region and back when I originally modified the phone there were many handy guides and videos to walk me through it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If your bootloader version is 30.04, SBF to 4.5.602. From there you can flash any Gingerbread or ICS rom of your choice.
If your bootloader version is 30.03, SBF to 2.3.15 and take the OTA update.

Let the stupid questions begin...
Ok, I confirmed that I'm running 30.04 and I found a site that maintains the correct 4.5.602 file so I downloaded that. Is there anything that I need to back up before installing? Also, I read that a special program is required to install the SBF files so any assistance there would be appreciated as well.
Thanks!
Ok, so I managed to track down RSD-Lite and got it to recognize the device and start loading the sbf file however the phone couldn't get past the "manually power up the phone" phase (or something like that). It just kept showing the boot animation over and over again regardless of what I did - it would cycle between the red eye and the DROID text. I tried pushing and holding the power button, no good and none of the other buttons did anything either. Nothing worked. So I'm rerunning it again and we'll see if the second time is a charm...
Well crap, I got through the SBF install process and got the pass message from RSD but now my phone is stuck at the animation and won't go any further. I've left it running for the better part of 10 minutes and it just hangs. I'm now performing a manual factory data wipe to see if that will help.
EDIT: It appears that the factory data wipe got me through the locked animation. Still having minor issues getting through the programing and setup phase but I think it'll work eventually.
Thanks again for the help.

Minor question/problem for you, sir.
Wouldn't the OTA take you all the way to .621?
Wonderful...yet another thing we need to worry about that damn update <_<
OP:
Glad you got it worked out.
Well, it's sort of worked out.
Everything is up and running but ROM Toolbox isn't able to load any ROMs. It gets granted Superuser permission so I'm pretty sure that I've got the X rooted correctly but when it tries to boot into Clockwork it appears to get an error (icon with an exclamation point) and reboots into the regular Blur interface. I'm going to have a go at loading something like Liberty Gingerbread or 3.0 via zip file but it makes me nervous that the Toolbox Pro App can't get this done.
After determining that the Toolbox App was not booting into Clockwork I downloaded and installed the Droid X Bootstrapper App and got that running. It was able to correctly boot into recovery from which allowed me to install the Liberty 3 ROM. I'm now going back through the process of setting the phone up with the new ROM so we'll see how that goes. It appears to be working, but only time will tell if it's stable. One thing is for sure, a few hours on Blur'd Gingerbread and I was ready for something else again.

I was actually wondering whether it would or not, but I can't think of another way to update the bootloader.

Ok, so here's an issue that I'd appreciate some guidance on. After installing Liberty 3.0 it appears as if the phone can't fully charge. It was plugged in for 10hrs last night and yet this morning the battery only reads 61%. I don't know if it would be best to boot into recovery and wipe the battery stats not knowing if it's fully charged or not.
Thoughts?
