The new update downloads, but after rebooting the phone, it decompressed the update, then flashes an exclamation point and sends me back into my regular Android, saying the system update failed.
I am rooted, but thawed all the bloatware (Amazon Kindle, Blockbuster, City ID, NFS, Skype, Swype, and VZ Navigator).
Would my best bet be to do a factory reset, or is the update even worth getting?
Thank you.

I wouldn't suggest updating if your already on gb. If you're on froyo update. The newest gb update breaks root.

http://www.droid-life.com/2012/04/1...es-security-patch-and-handful-of-other-fixes/
this update likely blocks, using SFBs
So becareful, till someone tests that, or new SBF is leaked
root with care
Why would you not suggest updating?
This update contains a fix for the camera settings that I've been wanting.
Blocks rooting, and likely SBFing

What is the best way to go from a rooted 2.2 to a rooted 2.3?
Dan
I'd love to also, sadly it's not here and may never be.
Just install the OTA update it doesn't matter if you are rooted or not.

I updated to 2.3.340 while I was in the Verizon store when I got home I tried a slew of one click roots and the only one to get the job done was z4root it worked the first time

im on 2.2 rooted, but when i click to check for updates it says im up to date. what gives?
you have to be totally stock before it will let you update, if you're build.prop is far enough off it won't even show there is an update.
how do i go back to totally stock on 2.2? I renamed the bloatware .apk's back to the original files, what else is needed?
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.

So obviously the GB OTA update for the DX is coming soon. But my question is that im on stock 2.2 but i AM rooted. So will being rooted block the OTA update when it is finally pushed?
thanks
In past DX updates it has not blocked it, but you would have to re-root. I am not sure about the next update but I assume it will be similar

To get root you need to use the zip files that p3droid posted and install from froyo. And yes you can sbf back
All,
Given that AT&T has made this update to 1.8.3 about as confusing as humanly possible I was curious whether we yet had any confirmation on whether the 1.8.3 SBF files that are floating around the forums (ending in "_Service1FF" rather than the usual "_1FF") are in fact bit-for-bit or otherwise identical to what is going out OTA.
Fundamentally I suppose my question is whether the SBF that users have been using to date is a beta or a final (despite it being signed).
Yeah I want to know that too. I noticed that on the update message from att is saying that the update is somethin like 26 MB. And the sbf is 1.4 gb.

Update is just that......an update. SBF is full system flash. OTA update is released to public today and is final.
BTW, AT&T never made anything confusing. All they did was release the update. The community started all the other files flying around.

1.4GB files is the full sbf of Atrix.
update.zip or OTA update is about 29MB. just contain update file.
wouldn't applying update.zip over the already 'updated through sbf' devices solve the issue?
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?
droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-rooted-help/100038-complete-droid-x-sbf-flashing-guide.html
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
