I have the Blur_Version of 4.5.91 on my phone now but the BEGINNERS (N00B) GUIDE points me to GingerBreak and GladRoot which appear to not support anything past 1.83. Other threads warn of bricking your phone if you downloaded the blur version and then try to go back to 1.83. So here I am with a 4.5.91 blur version Atrix and an install of SQlite that is useless to me until I root this phone again.
Where do I go from here?
Go with preinstall method by eval

That did the trick. I can use my w-fi hot spot again.

this might belong in q&a, but do you have tenfar's cwm yet?
No I don't have root yet.

you don't need root to flash tenfars cwm, you just need an unlocked bootloader.

did you try searching? maybe a search. searches work good.
Also definitely needs to be in the Q&A forum. Basically if the header of the thread ends in a question it doesn't belong in this forum.
Such as "Root in 4.5.91 stock?"
Hell, you could probably even ask it in the General forum as people would be more warm and fuzzy there as well. I realize I'm propagating this thread to the top of the list in the forum, but these questions really irk me. I've said this before, but it'd be sweet if there was some way to automagicaly move threads that end in a question to the Q&A forum.
Check the dev forums. The preinstall method will get you root then there is a tether thread that tells you what file to edit to get the mobile hotspot working.

I had unlocked my bootloader previously and had kens safe 4.5.91 upgrade. Then sbf back to 1.83 so I could get the official upgrade. I did the ota update and then used the preinstall method to root and sqlite to enable tethering. Everything is working perfect!!! Still have to try my webtop stuff but loving the phone and new stuff alot! Battery has been great so far..
For those of is who are unable to sbf back to stock. Does gingerbreak work on ota Gingerbread or is there another app?
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA Premium App
No way to root gingerbread as off yet but as far as sbf back to stock its no problem even if already on, unrooted gingerbread. Just read the tutorials. From there you apply patched gingerbread update from p3droid to have rooted gingerbread, all instructions are in forum.

Thanks.. would I be able to boot into stock recovery and apply rooted update.zip over current unrooted Gingerbread?

No, need to sbf back to stock froyo then root with gingerbreak 1.2 , install the system recovery app. Then apply update in the system recovery after booting into its tells you how to when you open app. Make sure rename p3droids patched update to just " update.zip" and place its on root off sdcard. Go to development forum if need the instructions all there. The patched update is at "my droid world.com " everything else you need is in this forum somewhere. Just to let you know I also was on ota gingerbread was able to sbf and update to rooted, alot off us were but its all works easy.

I have unlocked my 2.3.5 bootloader. It only works from a specific situation so far though.
-I have NEVER done an sbf
-My Electrify was shipped with 2.3.5, not updated from 2.3.4 via OTA
If you fit both of these qualifications go to teamuscellular .com, electrify development forum and the thread titled 2.3.5 locked bootloader work around/fastboot and follow the guide in post #72. (sorry, can't post links yet)
I would encourage reading the entire thread, its a bit confusing but worth it.
Had 2.3.5 .418 originally. sbf'd down to 2.3.4 .380. Rooted using Zergush cause cudnt find a working link for Petes one click method. So now i want to install eclipse, i tried to flash back to 2.3.5 .418, but since Zergush deleted google maps, the flash failed. Installed google maps & it still failed. What are my options?
Your best bet would be to sbf back to 2.3.4. Then update to 2.3.5. Then root using the magic md5 method. Flash Eclipse and enjoy.

I was hoping there was some kind of easy fix like remove the battery, make a wish, put it back, & there ya go. :laugh: Thanks.
Well you could try that! Not sure how effective it would be, but it's worth a shot.

Or skip the extra step and just sbf to 2.3.5

Ive been searching for a clear and concise how to for flashing the X2 rom i have the cm10 port and it fails something to the extent of wrong kernel
the X2 was givin to me so i dont know the history
The specs are as follows
system version 1.3.418.Mb870.verizon.en.us
Android Version 2.3.5
Baseband N_03.13.31P
Kernal version 2.6.32.9-00008
id read somewhere about having to sbf down to froyo before rooting is this the issue?
all roms are flashed on 2.3.4, with exception of eclipse, which is flashed on 2.3.5
flash back to 2.3.4, using sbf and rsd lite,
reroot, install bsr, install cm10

this is how i sbf my phone to 2.3.4, it seems to be the easiest. just make an iso disk, restart your computer with the disk inside, sbf. heres the link http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x2-hacks/41697-tool-ezsbf-dx2.html , although i think it is the same link that shadow gave you. just making sure you saw the ez sbf disc option. good luck.
Your best bet would be to SBF and run a ROM like CM7 or Eclipse 2.3 or Liberty3 (most stable roms)

So..I rooted my phone on 2.3.5. If I SBF back to 2.3.4, can I use RootKeeper to get root back?? Or will that cause problems?
flashing a sbf rewrites all system files, there will be no rootkeeper backup

just dial *228 if you don't get an activation screen.
it's an automated call just press 1, when prompted.
Sent from my XT862 using xda premium
you should just use ezSBF DX2 2.3.4
less likely to cause reactivation problems
