I have a DX with Version.2.3.151.MB810.Verizon.en.US, rooted.
1) My phone keeps trying to force me to update, and it then fails the update. I rooted my phone and deleted (no backup) several pieces of bloatware. I put blockbuster and amazon mp3 back on from the marketplace, but I can't find CityID or DLNA there. Can I update to 2.3.340?
2) I do not know how to make a failsafe backup of everything in the event that I totally screw stuff up. I've been looking through posts for hours, and have seen people suggest backing up a million times, but I cannot find out how to do that. Can anyone link me to something showing me how to back up my phone, and how to flash that backup back on?

I just downloaded the programs I am missing, and I cannot instal the DLNA stuff. I am assume it is because the odex stuff isn't there, and I can't put the odex stuff in the app folder because it is write protected. How can I change the permissions on the app folder?

If you flash this file through bootstrap recovery, then you will be on the latest OTA and ready to go.

So does maderstock do the same as sbf?

It says coming from a non blur rom will surely boot loop your phone. Is liberty non blur?

Okay, so I can download that file, flash it from recovery, and have an updated phone. It says to make a backup, how do I do that? Would that backup be another .zip file to flash? If I do back up my phone, update it with the maderstcok file, and if it screws up, I would be able to simply go into the recovery and use the backup zip to fix everything?
If you have DX Bootstrapper, open up that app, select bootstrap recovery, wait for the "Success" message, then select reboot recovery.
Your phone will reboot into the bootstrap menu... Use the volume keys to go down to backup/recovery and select that with the camera button. You will get another menu, and just select backup using the volume and camera keys....
The phone should now spend a few minutes backing up... when its done, use the power key to back out to the main menu, and then install the .zip.....
If the install screws up your phone, then boot into bootstrap recovery using any of the methods, go down to backup/recover, and select recover.. There should only be one file, and its the time-date that you did the backup.... Select that, then "yes" and let it do its thing.... Your phone will be back to the exaCT condition you backed it up in..... including any unread text messages.... enjoy
You all are amazing. Thanks a million times!
I updated my phone with maderstock, and it works.
The problem is that I now cannot root my phone again, and am stuck with all of the bloatware. Can anyone help with this? I cannot download z4root through the market (will not show up in Market), and when I download it through a browser, it won't work.
and the phone keeps trying to update, and telling me that the download failed.

download the .apk from a computer and then transfer it to you computer via USB cable.
i finished rooting my friends Droid X. after i flashed CM7 for GB. i used bootstrap for droid x to get into recovery but now im stuck at the M logo. i did a battery pull and now im still stuck at the M logo. any suggestions?
If you used bootstrap on CM7 you need to SBF back to 602 and reinstall CM7. You're not supposed to use bootstrap in CM7, you use ROM manager that installs with CM7. Make sure to use the DroidX 2nd Init version.

Hey thanks a lot for your response! but how do i SBF back to 602? im new to droid X since i have a tbolt, and even on my tbolt, all i knew how to do was root and flash my 1 rom i put on it so im still kind of a noob. sorry =/
Nevermind, i researched on sbfing the phone back to 602 and it worked wonders.
Ok so now i have a new issue. before flashing CM7, i backed up my stock+root. after flashing CM7, i needed to access old text from the phone being stock so i tried to do a nandroid recover. however when its restoring "data" somewhere in the middle it always freezes on the same file. is there a way to get passed this? thanks for any reply.
Which recovery are you using when in cm7? I don't believe that a backup made in 2.5.0.7 is compatible with recovery 4.0.0.5. Try restoring the older recovery version in Rom Manager then boot into the older recovery through Rom Manager and see if you can restore the nandroid.
I'm wondering if its having problems because the old text messages are through moto's text app and the blur framework is not in CM7. Like when i tried restoring my backup assistant to retrieve my contacts. Luckily i could log onto VZW backup assistant and export my last backup of contacts.

I don't have the answer but I think the question is "how can I browse the contents of my nandroid backup on my workstation?"

Well in theory that may cause an issue, but the op said he's trying to restore a nandroid to go back to stock and get a text, not access a text made in blur from CM7.
Even if that were the case I would have a hard time thinking the blur messenger app would cause an issue, since one can use a 3rd party sms app on any rom.
Btw, I would say the backup assistant issue you had isn't really related since vzw backup assistant is a blur bloatware app, and isn't available on the market... I personally use google to back my contacts up because it works on ANY android phone.
I rooted my defy and using Titanium backup I stupidly deleted the Gtalk app thinking it was safe , and now i get a gapps.com error on bootup, but worse the Market now longer works! I have the gtalk.apk which I downloaded from here but because my defy is on 2.1 it has no app installer, so I need a way to get AppInstaller from somewhere other than the market. We do have a spare samsung phone running 2.2 (GT-15500) that does have the app installer but because its not yet rooted I cant move it to SD!Any ideas where I can download the app installer from?
Cheers
Larry!

Google it. And make sure next time you start playing with your phone as root, do make a backup.
Sorted it now. I put a stock 2.2.2 ROM on it with RDSLite software, andf re-rooted it. Works fine now.
I'm trying to install smart briefing.apk but it says installing, then says xapp not installed. Thoughts?
I've got the goldeneye room flashed and I got this apk right from the rom zip.
Thanks!

Do you already have the app installed? This sounds like what happens when you try to install an update with a different signature than what is already installed.
If this is the case you need to wipe app data, uninstall, reboot, & then install the new one.

Hi, please help. I flashed my misse's phone with stock android and have somehow broken the play store! Normally when you first boot up all apps etc auto download, well this one hasnt. If you go to an app that she had before, say facebook, it shows it as installing but never actually install.
Tonight i have wipped and installed slimkat and have the exact same issue. I can go to the playstore online and ask it to download and nothing happens. If i go to an app, stop it, start it and then reboot that one app might install but the rest dont then start.
Any ideas... im getting it in the neck lol
Lesson learned, I never mess with my wife's phone. It's not worth the headaches. lol I'm not sure how you flashed the stock image but I'd try flashing it again with fastboot. Try that and see if it works out the issues with installing apps. You should not be having the issues you are.
