Hey guys, I was trying to root my phone for a school project and I was unable to do so. I took it to a local computer shop that said they could do it and they failed. They were kind enough to let me use one of their computers out front to try to root it. I was in there for four hours until I decided to just install 2.3.3 or go back to Froyo after hearing that 2.3.4 was unrootable. I tried many rooting programs and all failed. I downloaded the correct SBF file and tried to flash it. Got boot looped. So now it has several errors and it says something like MEM_ MAP BLANK and everytime I try to flash a new SBF, RSDlite says that it passes but on reboot, it is still boot looped. I would GREATLY appreciate any help. I just want to install 2.3.3 or Froyo so I can root it. Thanks in advanced :laugh:
once on 2.3.4 you can't downgrade
use ezSBF to unbrick and root
magic md5 root for d2, d2g, dx, & dx2

Droid Newbie Here, trying to Root my DX on original 2.2, I am trying to root on the easier 1-2-3 Droid Root, and I even went onto youtube, and saw the video by Dark Onion on how to do this, I followed the instructions step by step, and I get this error message
Ok, here is what I get now, "Error 06, Failed To Give Proper Permissions System File" Root Failed.
Any suggestions as how to fix this?
Thanks!
You need to search for the droid 2 or rageagainstthecage. Its a adb method. I think its only way to root 2.2

i rooted my phone 2.2 with one click check here http://alldroid.org/default.aspx?g=posts&m=9209
i have root now so give this method a try
Alright, so I rooted my droid and couldn't figure out to unroot it, so I Googled it and found out how to get the 2.2.1 OTA. I followed the guide on Droid Life and now I'm stuck in the bootloader. I'm totally lost...But I can tell you exactly what the boot loader says:
Bootloader
30.03
Err:A5,70,70,00,1F
MEM_MAP Blank
Service Req'd
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
That's it...All I really want it to be completely unrooted with 2.2.1 on my Droid X. Can somebody please help me/point me to a guide that could help resolve these issues?
Thank you so much!!

well pull your batt and see if it will boot up if it will not it and you never flashed the leak or took the ota as of yet then you can still use the 2.2 sbf and then once you get going update with the .340 ota and you will be unrooted on 2.2.1,here is the 2.2 sbf with instructions if needed
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...droid-x-2-2-full-sbf-leaked-download-now.html
now remember you can only use this if you never flashed the .320 leak or took the .340 ota yet and if you did then you need to use those sbf

I believe that you will have to SBF to .621.

When you say you upgraded to gingerbread how exactly did you go about it...if you took the ota upgrade then you're most likely on .621 and you'll have to use the .621 SBF file but if you used on of the methods where you flashed a zip file or two in CWR then you should be able to just use 1KDS's Linux SBF method and you should be up and running again. But if you did do the ota and are running .621 then DO NOT by any means use any other SBF then the .621 SBF or you'll be back in the same spot you're in now.

Please bear in mind, there are different SBFs for 30.03 and 30.04 bootloader version. Be aware of that when you download the .sbf file.
Hello,
Yesterday I rooted my new droid x. I used titanium backup to backup, then remove some of the apps that I didn't need. However, then I received the ota update, and it fails to install. Im assuming it is because I have removed the city id, amazon mp3 store, and backup assistant. I try to restore, but I find I cannot restore them jacques they are non market apps. Where can I find them, then install them?

Theres An .sbf I Used To Get The Update Easily
Just Make Sure You Back Up Everything
(.sbf Is Used By RSD Lite Just In Case You Didn't Know)
hmm...
Ok, well, im not all that familiar with what your talking about...
I soppose I kinda did the opposite when it comes to removing integral apps on the phone, but from what im reading, im mostly hosed aren't I?
How do i find this .sbf and how would i use this RSD to restore?
I apologize in advance for being such a noob.
Time to start learning about your Droid X. It's all here, in this forum and in the development forum. Check out the Wiki first. There's a link to it on the first post of the android development forum.
Your problem is easily solved btw.
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/d...oll-your-320-dx-back-2-3-151-now-you-can.html
Download the backup there, boot into CWM and restore from that image. You'll get all the crapware back and will be able to OTA. Alternatively you can go to 928droid.com and download the clean DX image.
I called Verizon about not being able to update with the OTA and they are sending me a new phone lol!

I did a little research and found that i have the 30.04 boot loader. My attempts at locating what i guess is referred to as a "system only SBF" have been futile. Is there somewhere i can find this? what is the name of the file i need, i know links cannot be posted.
I attempted at restoring the apks to the phone via adb (applied proper permissions etc). I got the apks back, and the apps running properly (backupassistantclient.apk ... etc) however, to no avail it still will not update.
hmmm 30.04. TMK only the leaked 2.3.320 SBF and the official OTA use that bootloader. Are you sure the update didn't work? Maybe your brand new phone already has the update? Settings->about phone->Android version should tell you. 2.2.1 = the OTA.

Actually, I've had that bootloader on 2 separate X's; one I bricked on a system only leak of .320 and one I ended up using the leaks to get to .340(wouldn't OTA, possibly because I forgot to fix permissions). I know because at one point I SBFed the phone from .151 to .15 and I saw the bootloader version.

Sleuth is correct--there is a full (as opposed to "system only") 2.3.32 SBF that works with 30.04. As has been previously suggested, all of the info on finding this file and installing it are contained in the wiki (which is located on the xda droid x dev page). It really isn't a big deal to resolve your issue. Learning to unbrick your phone with RSD will be extremely useful to you in the future, as will the time you spent screwing around with ADB.
I give you props for trying to resolve your issue yourself, rather than crying to Verizon the first time you ran into trouble
ok, so i got it to SBF finally! it worked. now i have 2.2.1. But i no longer have root access, gaaha! what gives! anyway... any good tip to restore root access?
I am glad i know how to do the SBF processes, im not so leery about installing custom roms on my DX anymore... which is my end goal now that i can do the SBF for this boot loader.
However, how to do i get root access again?
Reroot your phone however you did the first time.... I used z4root, took some time to get it work... but eventually got it to work

Anyone know if the 2.3.40 SBF file for OTA has been released yet? I own a very pretty DX brick. Verizon is sending me a new one - I told them my phone lost power during the OTA. They said they didn't have the file to flash it yet so they'd send me a new one. When they flash it, they'll find Superuser permissions, Z4 Root and Wireless Tether. Then the jig is up.
the .32 full sbf will work on the .34 system...they are compatable
Any ideas if it will work if my bootloader is 30.04?

Yes the bootloader is the same for 2.3.320 & 340
All you need to do is flash the .320 full sbf and you wont have a brick anymore.
Flashed the SBF I got from here Droid Life. I'm new so I can't publish links. I finished and RSD Lite said passed, but it didn't reboot the phone, and I'm still stuck in the bootloader screen... BRICK.
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/09/droid-x-2-3-340-system-sbf-released-for-2-3-320-leak-users/
That's where I downloaded the file from. Ran it twice, no dice. Guess I'm bricked. New phone from Verizon arrived. Should I ship the brick back or hold out?
Head over to mydroidworld and get the FULL sbf for 2.3.32 and try flashing that.
Thank you! Thank You! Thank you! It worked. No more brick I promise not to flash ROMs at 3am anymore so that I don't do something stupid again...
I've been trying to root this Droid 2 all day now using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782556
Watched the video as many times as I need to.
I've rooted phones before so I'm not sure what the problem is here.
It just hangs at the finding device screen or if it does find the device, it fails to root, then can't find the device again.
I've tried two different root tools on two different PCs, USB debugging on, PC mode on for the 1 click and charge only for the other like it says.
No luck.
Running stock 2.3.3.
try Pete's Motorola Root Tools
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258599
old root tools don't work with gingerbread
I ended up getting it, the last 48 hours, I've learned a lot coming from a DINC.
I had to learn how to sbf, how to use stock recovery, all from trial and error haha.
Did you try Z4root?

Z4root currently doesn't work for 2.3.3 unless it's been updated for it.
