So, my Droid X is going to be a hand me down to my younger brother. Problem is, It's rooted running Rubix. I need to revert it back to the stock Verizon software so the phone can be activated. Does anyone know where I can find that software? Is it even out there anymore?
Any help would be fantastic. TIA!
never used rubix, but on most roms you can activate
if you have a verizon account, go on line, select line or phone you want to replace
Enter esn code, from under battery
Then dial *228
If you really need stock rom, and a nandroid was not made before flashing custom rom
Try ezSBF for dx in my list

I am on Cricket. I was only able to find one guide for setting up the Droid X to work on Cricket. Is there a way to back up all of the cricket settings so I can switch roms and then restore them once the rom is loaded? Thanks
You should still be able to use droid x bootstrap to backup. Here's my how to and a free download over at droidxforums. http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-hacking-guides/13485-how-use-droid-x-bootstrap.html
I am referring to just the cricket settings. So If I install a different rom i can restore only the cricket settings to the new rom. For example if i go from the Flyx rom to the Rubix rom I want to restore the cricket settings only

The one thing that you need to do is download apn back up and restore and back up your apn's. Also I personally would copy your telephony.db file. As far as your basic talk and text flash that stays regardless if you flash a different rom.

just wanted to say that i rooted the (mb809) alltel milestone-x rom on my vzw droid-x (mb810)
just gonna give a run down of BASICALLY what i did
i SBF SHADO_X6_3.1.39_SHADOW_BP_C_02.06.00R_AP_BP_Flex_20_signed_secure_alltel_1ff_P3_USERBLD.sbf
to my droid-x
i then rooted with superoneclick 2.1.1
i then droid2bootstrapper
all is good
NOW LISTEN there are alot of steps i did not include
im just listing the basics and that it can be done for sure
you will need to research a little more
the reason i went to the alltel rom is for a couple reason
the hdmi out
the "use gps satelites" only works on the alltel rom and cm7 roms when you do not have the phone activated with vzw
i also needed root for some apps like snes and more
anyhow the alltel rom is clean....like it alot
Can you explain a little bit more as to the purpose of this? I know of the Milestone X, but what does its ROM offer over the DroidX? Is it stock GB or what? I'm very interested here.
ok:
vzw roms 2.2.340 and 4.5.596 do not allow "use gps satelites" when you do not have the phone activated.
so if i wanted to use standalone gps i had to use an AOSP rom like CM7 or the ALLTEL rom for the milestone-x.
if i wanted to use CM7 i would gain my GPS but lose my HDMI out through gallery or videos
if i wanted to use the alltel rom i would lose root so no super user for installing apk`s i like.
so i figured out how to root the alltel rom and now i have a really clean rom that has HDMI out and "use gps satelites" and rooted.
its really the best for me.
the alltel rom is the cleanest rom i have seen and i think that even includes cm7
Maybe a silly question: can you use this and still be on Verizon?
that is a good question.
i really cant tell ya cause i dont have vzw.
maybe someone can test it for ya
it IS a very clean rom
hey i did the same thing as u... i bought a droid x and switched it over to alltel but now with the rooted milestone x rom do u think i can install custom droid x roms without any problems?

im really not sure.
i have not been brave enough to flash straight over to CM7 from rooted alltel.
the android OS is the same as it is on 2.2.340 from vzw but im not sure about the kernel.
if the kernels are the same it "should" work but i really dont know.
be the brave one
i think the worse that can happen is SBF back to 2.2.340 but i really not even sure about that.
hi guys I have a HTC BOLT , familiar with that phone. Now my gf have a droid x which I'm not too familiar with. Its rooted and flashed to Cricket. I want to ask if I flash it to a custom Rom would i lose the Cricket flash also ? If not then how do I flash a custom Rom? If anyone is willing to help I'll paypal ya =) . Its for my gf so I really need to do it hehehe.

I'm not really familiar with what android version Cricket currently has on the Droid X, but I just picked up one this week from C Spire. My best suggestion would be to just root and uninstall any preinstalled apps that you couldn't otherwise if you don't have to sbf for your carrier and android version readily available. I'll actually be returning my phone this morning because I made the mistake of trying to flash Liberty3, and it somehow has FUBAR'd the bootloader on my end (absolutely no luck with the sbf using rsd lite or sbf flash on ubuntu).
Coming from the HTC Hero, I can go ahead and tell you that the way these two companies do bootloaders are entirely different beasts. The Hero was an absolute breeze to root and flash roms on, but that may also have been because of its huge userbase at one point as well. Anyways, I'm not sure exactly what you mean by losing the Cricket flash, but the original rom will be completely replaced if you flash the rom correctly (wiping data, cache, and dalvik from the bootloader).
edit:
After Googling some terms for the Droid X on Cricket, I don't think you'll have nearly as much of an issue if you follow the guides available. Just read carefully and always do a nandroid backup if possible.

You will not lost the flash unless you SBF, or upgrade to gingerbread if your not currently on it. The worst part about flashing custom ROM's is getting everything working again. What I mean about everything working is MMS, and web. MMS is the hardest. Try my thread here http://www.cricketusers.com/verizon-motorola-droid-x/12264-working-apn-mms-apk.html#post21416 and see if you can get it working. Before doing anything make a backup so you can fall back onto a working rom.

I'm just a noob beginner but alot of the guys i work with love looking at the latest features of the roms i keep switching up on my nexus. One of them brought me a Droid X he wants to use for streaming music in his home network but the phone has "unheard messages" on his voicemail that keep interrupting the stream. I have found no way to clear this interruption. This X has the .621 update so it seams from my reading there is no sure way to root and flash a new rom. If I try a factory reset will it be forever stuck in the unusable mode of waiting for activation?
BTW...I'm really enjoying running MUzzys on my GNEX!

yes 621 can be rooted
magic md5 method or ezSBF milestone 604 method
and activation can be skipped with 4 corners method

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
