Sorry for the stupid request, but I accidentally deleted my backup of the stock .605 Droid X build.prop. I tried searching, but no dice. Could somebody please point me to someplace I can download?
Thanks.

NOTE: Corrected version number.

I need help updating to 2.3.340
I'm new to rooting and deoxeding my phone so I apologize If I have alot of questions....
I am currently on 2.3.15 , rooted and deoxed. My phone keeps prompting me to updating to 2.3.340.
Questions:
1. Should/Can I allow the update to take place automatically?
2. Will I lose my root access and will my phone not be deoxed?
3. Do I need to revert my phone back to stock then update automatically?
4. Is there a link on how to update to 2.3.340 when you have a rooted phone?
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
I'm also curious. I'm on the 2.2OTA-Rooted and my phone wants me to update.
1. Should/Can I allow the update to take place automatically? NO!!! not while it is as you have it now.
3. Do I need to revert my phone back to stock then update automatically? YES and be sure to uninstall any program related to rooting your phone before reverting to stock.
Kapi187.. Hope you don't mind if I add some questions to your thread... It seems our questions are running along the same lines.
I too have been reading quite a bit about the upgrading process and am trying to figure out a few things.. Likewise, some of them may sound "noobish" but please bare with me...
My understanding is that the 2.3.34 update is available OTA (I am currently running 2.3.15 as well).. Is it necessary to revert to a stock sbf (what does sbf stand for?)?
A breakdown of my current setup:
system version 2.3.15
Android version 2.2
Running JRummy V1.0 Rom
Odexed
rooted (obviously)
clockwork recovery installed (also obvious)
image available from pre-rom condition
How should I go about updating to 2.3.34? Is it necessary/ is there a purpose? What are the advantages to doing so?
I have a friend with a Nexus One and he doesn't need to update any system version so we have been discussing back and forth trying to understand the droid x/verizon system.
All help is greatly appreciated... And hopefully this will help others.
Not at all p3p... ask as many questions as you can... helps me out too..
I too would like to know what .Sbf and the other one stand for... lol I can't remember what it was...
So after we revert back to Stock.. (any link as to where to find the stock file?) Update automatically... then we follow the same procedures to re-root the phone?

What I would do is SBF using the full .320 file and then do the .340 system only SBF and you will be on the most current version. Then download z4root its a one click root app which will give you root obviously. Then customize your phone to your liking.

Um - if you are running 2.3.15 I would not recommend doing the sbf with the .320 file. I am just trying to be helpful -not a butt.
I would use the full sbf released for 2.3.15 which can be found at...
http://rootzwiki.com/index.php/Main-Page/Droid-X-Full-2.2-SBF.html
I just posted the guide I used to sbf here for another member...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901934
Here is my understanding of your situation. You are getting prompted for the update. I THINK that even if you said yes and tried to run it - that you would just end up with an error - because the update checks your system to see if all the proper files are there and if they are not it will not run. I think.
So I think the best thing to do is sbf then take the update. You will loose root. and you will not be de-odexed. You will have to reroot. But like the other member said - get z4root (link in the other thread with the sbf instructions) and run it after you do the over the air.
I make no guarantees. Just sharing to the best of my knowledge.

Flashing the .320 full SBF then the sys only .340 SBF would be the same as the .15 SBF to OTA. Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

SBF stands for SmartBroker Data File, but that doesn't matter, it's simply a backup file. It's not necessary to upgrade to .340 unless you use custom ROMs, because anything made for .320/.340 isn't compatible with .15. The Nexus One doesn't have a system version because it's pure android; the android version is the system version. Other phones have a separate system version because the carriers feel the need to bog the phone down with bloatware and their custom launchers.
SBF files can be found here, and make sure you make a backup immediately after you're re-rooted, so you can just restore it to accept the next OTA.

Excellent information! So when utilizing my own backup (or the SBFs presented above), do I need to uninstall clockwork or root before going after the OTA? I am figuring the OTA isn't looking for that information but want to avoid the infamous brick situation at all costs.
No, you can leave everything installed. An SBF is similar to the factory reset disc that comes with computers; it formats everything and then installs the OS on a clean slate. An OTA won't check for root, but it does check for the bloatware. If any of it is missing/renamed, it won't install the update.
I recently tried to change roms on my droid x, but I forgot to mount system before installing and now my phone is bricked. I was running the 2.3.315 system build when i did it. Does anyone have the file or a link to where i could find this file? Or would it work if I simply flashed the 2.3.340 release?
Thanks for any and all help, I really appreciate it

here you go ...the download link with instructions if need be...flash this then ota then reroot ,,,etc....
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...droid-x-2-2-full-sbf-leaked-download-now.html
Thanks
I did what you told me and it worked very well. I am updating to the latest software version now. Thank you very much
Would this also be the route for me to go if I'm still on version 2.3.9?
I haven't checked out any new stuff for the phone in a while and would like to get to the newest .340.
First i'm going to say sorry as i know this isn't the first and probably won't be the last thread posted about removing droid X bootstrapper. With that said thank you in advance for helping me.
Before i go on i'll preface by saying i am no expert but with proper instruction i can learn very easily. I rooted my DX using z4root and used droid x bootstrapper to create a nandroid and flashed the Fission Rom. I am new to the DX, came from the DINC, and the only reason i rooted was because my phone was rebooting randomly and i thought maybe that would fix it but it didn't so i was able to get a refurb DX which is working better already and so now i have to send my old back to Verizon. Problem is i unrooted it and restored to defaults and Bootstrapper, Terminal Emulator, and SU were all still there. so i researched the boards since this community has made me excited to be an android user, and tried both methods of Root explorer and Terminal emulator, and even flashed maderstcock340.zip but again upon restoring to defaults, all 3 apps showed up again.
I need help, i didn't want to ask for help because i dont want to bother anyone but i need the help. Even a link to something else that i should try would be a great help.
I mean even if anyone is willing to skype with me and help me out that way i'll buy you a 6 pack.
EDIT: Will using the .340 system only sbf work to remove it? and if not will using TBH's 2.3.32 fix it??!?!
Have you tried unrooting with z4, you can uninstall the other two in the market. If z4 fails to unroot, you might have to flash a sbf. Its easy find " how to's" in the forums.

Well i thought that is what maderstcoks340.zip was supposed to be. A flashable sbf? can you direct me to a link where i can download the .340 SBF and the right version of RSD Lite
I'm currently at work and on my phone...so you'll have to find the links yourself...
But flashing the .340 won't get you completely back to stock. You'll need to find a link to the .320 sbf...I think there is one on droid-life.com
Apply the 320 and then the 340.
340 sbfs are easy to find...but you'll obviously need that too.

After doing the Netflix patch I am unable to do a OTA update.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16663461&postcount=60
The build number is now reading
HTJ85B.US_epad-8.6.5.6-20110726
When i do a check for update i get this message
Fota Download
build number error!!
HTJ85B.US_epad-8.6.5.6-20110726
Please, any way to revert? Of course, being the noob that I am i did not make a backup of the files that were edited by the patch.
luckily when it updated to 3.1 I took a picture!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15399268&postcount=202
So given that I now know what build i had on here could I go to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878\
and with this package
Acer_A500_4.010.22_COM_GEN1 : http://vache-android.com/v1/download.php?fileID=63
extract the Update.zip and potentially revert my iconia?
Thoughts before I go ahead and do it?
Oh great!
The .22 build is no longer there!
Found this though, but would prefer a verified file.

I believe all you need is an original build.prop from the correct build you were running. If you can find a download of .22, you can extract the build.prop (in /system folder) and swap it back.
Thanks!
I grew a pair and decided to try flashing a rom. I flashed the newest .38 (i think that was the update number) build of stock and we're all happy.
Sweet, I was just gonna say that if you did a nand backup revert back in recovery.
ya, sadly i did not to any backup, except my full backup i did before putting in the new roms.
silly newbness of me.
I had reverted to the .22 build that is available through clockwork, but it still would not allow me to do the update. it downlaoded but failed on install.
I saw what version it was updating to so i just installed that through CWM andthen reapplied the netflix patch. so i'm still sitting at that stupid Xoom version number until i decide to try the next update.
Sigh.
i just wish Netflix would recognize our tablet, #assesoffire.
Something went wrong when I tried flashing a ROM and now I can't get past the motorola logo. I tried looking for the original SBF file for India Moto Defy but sbf droid is down. Can someone please send me a link to this?
Thanks

Something similar happened to me too. I am, or rather was, using the Defy+ MB526.
And now the SBF file is not available for download.
Somebody, please help.
