2.3.340 Leak to OTA

Did a little digging, but can't find my exact problem.
I'm on the leaked 2.3.340 using the update to 2.3.320 update, followed by the SBF to 2.3.340. I would like to update to the OTA, but need to know if it's necessary. I've seen posts about updating the kernel, radio, and stuff. Did the SBFs not update these files?
I attempted to use the 2.2 OTA SBF to go back and update, but that failed. My old nandroid of the 2.2 OTA is failing to update (it downloads, but reboots saying failed update). What should I do?

Is it just the patches that you want?

Awesome, thanks. I'll scan that thread to figure out what and how to update.

I used the 2.3.320 SBF and then used the system updater in that link I provided for. 340. I don't know if it makes a difference since we both got to 340 in a different way.

Well, because of my upgrade method all I had to upgrade was my kernel. Working like a dream now.

Perfect. Glad you got it working.

[Q] What should I update to?

I am in between going to GB and staying where I am at.
My issue is that I am on a version of 2.2.1 Stock that I obtained through TBH around the holidays....file was literally called "happy holidays from TBH" however, this was the 2.3.320 version of the OTA update, not the 2.3.340 version that everyone seems to have.
So the real question is, can I jump straight from 2.3.320 to GB? OR do I need to flash to 2.3.34 since when I check for OTA updates the phone tells me that I am currently up to date.
If I flash to 2.3.34, then I should probably just go straight to gingerbread rooted. However, how would I get the OTA gingerbread when it comes out? Otherwise I would be right back where I am now in about a month or so.
I need to either update to the current froyo and wait for the OTA release of GB, or update to current froyo (2.2.34) and then update again to the new rooted 2.3.3? Right? can someone confirm?
PS. I already have the 2.3.340 .sbf file (445MB) and the 2.3.3 rooted file from p3droid so I am good to go there if necessary.

if you have the 2.3.340 sbf go ahead and flash it first just to be sure...then gingerbread the whole process will only take u 30 minutes its really not that big of a deal

I might as well go ahead and update to 2.3.340 however, I am now seeing on droidxforums that there is another version of 2.3.340 called maderstcok...can't post a link but here is a partial url: droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-hacks/15666-maderstcok-ota-2-3-340-update-zip.html
The one that I have is from xda via the noobs guide (links to mydroidworld), so I trust that one more... however, this file is an update.zip, not an .sbf. So it could potentially be easier to do?

I would also like to know if it makes any difference if I use the 4.8 version of RSD lite versus 4.9
I am currently using the 4.7.1 drivers as well, pretty sure that that is right, but if there is a newer version, let me know

bump, just want a second opinion

Maderstckok will get you to where you need to be (2.3.340) I've used it 10+ times it's a great file. Then reboot, reroot, and flash GB.

I used 4.8. It'll work fine.

Ditto - 4.8 worked like a charm.

thanks guys, downloading now and will update to 2.3.34, gonna check around for some more ideas on whether or not to go ahead and get GB or wait for the OTA...i have seen some threads with issues with wireless tether, which is one of my reasons for rooting in the first place

so far so good, rooted with z4 after updating to 2.3.34 with maderstock....awesome file, best experience yet with the clockworkmod going to stock. Will update to GB tomorrow. Some of the deodexed roms look really good!

done...on GB, added the deodexed and got the stock BWC theme which is working great. Will maybe flash more custom roms later as they become more mature for GB. otherwise, freezing bulr apps.

[Q] OTA update fails

US Verizon Droid X running Froyo
Rooted last year using z4root.
Now I want OTA Gingerbread.
unrooted using z4root.
Check for updates. Download. Reboot. Shows Android unpacking animation, then yellow !. Reboots into Froyo. Update failed.
I have never frozen anything. I'm going to try setting keyboard back to stock (update: update still fails). Do I need to uninstall any root apps (Wireless Tether, Titanium Backup, Swype beta, AdFree, Webkey)?
I don't want to do a factory restore if possible.

The files are more than likely still there from when you rooted.
Backup the thing you need (not including system data) and SBF back to 2.3.34.
From there you SHOULD be able to restore your backed up things, or you can take the OTA then restore.
WARNING: If you take the OTA it may take you to .621 which I DONT recommend. You shoud probably just SBF to .602, reroot, and stay there.

Thanks!
I found this guide to SBF from 2010... is there a more current process you recommend?

Can you explain a little bit why not go to .621?

You can't flash any roms or root from .621. And it is impossible to downgrade from .621 to any other firmware.

Can you point me to a current step by step guide of how to SBF to .602?
From what I've read in the 2010 posts, it seems pretty advanced and didn't always work. Maybe it's been streamlined by now?

He could SBF to .602, run OTA Rootkeeper, then take the .621 update.

yes but thenwhat if while flashing roms he happens to bootloop... then it is sbf to .621 and no more root. The general consensus is to avoid .621 like the plague until an exploit is discovered.

Thanks everyone. I think I'll try SBF to .602. I found a video tutorial here:

I'm still not sure why I can't get the OTA .605. It downlaods and reboots, but keeps failing to install. Otherwise, my phone is relatively fine (currently on Froyo). I am having trouble getting root back since I removed root (used z4root). I just wanted to backup some things before going to .602

[Q] Going from 2.2.1 to Gingerbread

Hello XDA, it has been a very long time since I have upgraded my droid x, and I have decided to finally take action.
I am currently running an old build of Liberty Mod that I installed a very long time ago for Android 2.2.1.
I have heard negative things about the newest update, so I was just wondering where I should find the correct update file for upgrading to the current rootable OTA and installing cyanogen.
All help is appreciated.

I was in a similar situation myself so I might've able to help. What I did was sbf to 2.2 (not sure of the sbf file name) then took the OTAs till I got to .605 (this was before the .621 was in soak test). Then I rooted and flashed cm. now since the .621 OTA is live you will have to be careful. I would suggest doing what I did except watch the name of the OTA VERY CAREFULLY. If you get prompted for the .621 do not take it as it is unrootable currently. I can get you links later when I'm at my computer if needed.

Thank you for the response. I see what you did worked, but I also found an interesting post on rootzwiki that would imply all you have to do is wipe, install the .605 AIO and then install the current CM4DX-GB. Should I just follow that guide?

Upgrading to .605 is really unnecessary. You can flash all Gingerbread and ICS roms from .602.
You just need to SBF to .602. From there you will be able to root and install CyanogenMod.

Thank you for your response. I went ahead and formatted, installed the team black hat .605 AIO, and then wiped again and installed cm4dx-gb. I'm really loving CM7 and Gingerbread. Thank you very much for all of the responses. This thread can be closed now.

605 update failing. Is there a latest stock I can just flash

Have a rooted Droid x.
The 605 update keeps failing. The phone was factory reset and I believe the bootstrapper was removed. I am having no luck figuring out why.
Is there a latest stock ROM image I can just flash.
Thanks

Has your phone received the 621?
If so I don't believe you will be able to go back to a previous version
If not, the file could be corrupted, if this is allowed, pm I can post up a good 605 zip. Mods if this is against rules please post up.

I am running rooted pre-605.
I only want rooted stock + wifi tether.
I assume it is worth updating the phone to the latest but I can't get 605 to install. I assume with rootkeeper I can restore root as I move forward (assuming I can get a working update

Just apply the 1kds .605 sbf. I used it today while updating my radio.

Best check under settings>about phone to see if you are running .621. You may have had it flashed as the rooted .605 stock but it coulda pulled a fast one on you and OTA updated. If its .621 and you try to sbf to anything older you could have a few problems.
Otherwise heres a link to the sbf discs. .605 is the newest you would want to use. Stay away from the .621 sbf if you ever find a link to it.
Ha just kidding I guess I can't post links yet since I don't have enough posts. Just google "droid x sbf disc". It will be the first link.3
