CM7 on .621 - Droid X General

I have dx2 but my daughter just got a DX. Cm7 wiki says to downgrade is their a way to do this, from what I'm reading it's not possible on 621

Unofficial cm builds are for gingerbread kernels.(your phone)
Official cm builds are for froyo builds.
Rootzwiki has them.

If u need to root, look in the droid x development forum on xda.

Yes, it's possible. Do a light SBF (Google: 1KDS Linux SBF Method) to .604 while keeping .15p radio band. After that, root .604, install Droid 2 Bootstrap, bootstrap recovery, then install CM7.
Hope that helps.

Also, to get to 2.3.340 should i sbf the system only file or will that mess stuff up?
The new Droid 3 root method worked on my Droid X stock OTA .602

+1 on the Droid3 root method. Took the OTA for 602 on my son's stock DroidX and then ran the update right after. No problems.
I used this.

You can root via the instructions above but to get on MIUI you must first SBF to 2.3.34 (Google for more instructions), then root via Z4root, install Droid 2 Bootstrapper, then flash the MIUI rom via ClockworkMod Recovery.
Good luck! =D

i have droid-x and i have flashed so many roms (offiical and pre-root) and CM7 amd MIUI etc...
right now i am currently on 4.5.602 pre-root (the zip files that are part 1 and part 2)
i have my phone setup pretty much how i want...uninstalled a ton of crap with root uninstaller....already made my nand backup.
just wondering what i do from here to get OTA .602 installed and rooted and then what about all my data/apps that i have setup?
thanks

[Q] Noob trying to root. I need help!!

I'm currently running the System Version 4.5.602 on my DX. Never rooted before!!
My question is, where can I go to find out how to root my phone? Any links for the version I'm running? Or will I have to downgrade my version first? If so, where can I find out how to do that.
Much Thanks!!
a little help.
Look under pete's motorola root tools thread on this forum. everything u need is in there.....hope it helps.
Droidmodderx is a good one too

Google searching does wonders. Unless its something specific to this forum that I'm looking for, I usually google all my problems. Just add "droid x" to the end of your search so you know its for your phone.
As said before, Pete's Motorola tools is a good one.
On a side note...if you ever mess something up on your phone and need to SBF, MAKE SURE you have the .602 sbf file. I used to have 602 on my droidX and i ran an SBF for another version and none of my backup/restores prior to the SBF would work.
z4root also works.
You can also download it from the market (or from a google search)
edit... z4root may not work with a fresh .602 sbf (previously I sbf'ed to the previous release.. rooted then updated and that kept root)
Looks like pete's motorolla root tools is the best option right now

Thanks!!
SBF w/ newest .605 SBF, then root w/ the D3 1 click root method. Done.
Titanium backup
Droid x bootstrapper
Rom manager
Root explorer
Busybox
Should at least have those.
Also there are custom roms too. Find one you like follow directions. You'll be fine

[Q] Droid X .621

I was just wondering is there any ROMS for the Droid x .621 I have tryed multiple ones from Rom Manager and I always get bricked. I cannot seem to find any one this site specifically for .621. Can anyone help me?
did you install d2 bootstrap first, and run it then update cwm with dx 2nd init from rom manager
edit: any gb rom should work on 621

[Q] Gingerbread downgrade?

Hi all,
Just wondering if someone could help me out or at least link me to somewhere that will. I haven't been able to find anything.
I just want to downgrade from ICS to a good Gingerbread ROM. I've always owned HTC phones before so doing anything to this droid scares me.
When I bought the phone it was on stock .621
I have the latest CWM flashed.
Let me know if any other info is needed.
621 is gingerbread
you need d2 bootstrap first
read how to install and use bootstrap

Thanks but!
is there another simpler way?
not really, you can flash milestone 604 ezSBF then root with zergrush
you still have to burn the ezSBF to CD or USB flash drive

The root cd/iso that sd posted isn't that difficult. Make a bootable disc. Boot your computer from said disc. Follow the on screen instructions.
I've done it 5 times now. three dx, one d2, and one d2g.

I have not been able to get it to work, but if you want to try it...
only two people have reported that it worked, and they both had Droid 2s
