Hey guys.
I have a droid pro with the verizon sbf on it and no service. How do I upgrade it to 4.7.3 on it. I am rooted and have done this process to root it:
1: I sbfed back to 4.6.8
2: I rooted using pete's tool.
i have sbfed up to 4.7.3 but the ota rootkeeper does not remember the backup. I sbfed down for root.

I can just sbf from it?! >_<;
Also, to get to 2.3.340 should i sbf the system only file or will that mess stuff up?

+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
Hi, i've just received a 2nd Droid X.
It's on stock 4.5.602 with 30.4 bootloader, and i've tried many ways to get root on it but unsuccesfull. Everytime i RSD to froyo .340, it stucks on APEX logos.
Please guide me to root my Droid X

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
Hello, I've just re-rooted my Droid X. I lost root a couple days ago because I slipped up and took the 4.5.621 update and lost root. After figuring out I could not root on .621, I used the Linux method, and got Milestone X .604 ..Now, is it possible to update from .604 back to .621 WITHOUT losing my root? I've downloaded root keeper but I just wanted to double check. If anyone knows, please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you in advance.

First off, I have a rooted GS2SR with CM9 and InstigatorX kernel. I have some experience rooting but my buddy's Droid X is throwing me for a loop. It's running FroYo 2.2.1 unrooted stock. He wants to upgrade it to ICS. What program do I need to get to interface with it to root it? He tried to do it himself and it was stuck in a bootloop. Had to sbf back to froyo 2.2.1 for it to do anything using RSD. These forums are a bit outdated and searching isn't working. Is it really just as simple as loading a .zip to root, loading the bootstrapper, flashing cwm, flashing the rom and voila? Modding my G2SR was easy, but this seems a bit more complex. Or if someone could simply link me to a thorough CM7/CM9 root-how-to forum that would be terrific. Thanks!
He needs to take the latest OTA update, then follow this guide:

Thanks for the info!
No no no! Do not update firm ware until you root your phone!
Root your phone via Pete's then dl voodoo Rota rootkeeper follow directions THEN do the ota.
And make sure read about any issues before flossing any Rom.
