I'd like to use P3's GB update on my DX2.. I have a ton of apps frozen and a lot of tweaks and settings I really don't want to have to recreate.. Do I have to unfreeze all of my frozen apps before doing the bootstrap and update from ext-SDcard?

Here is a link to the apps that you can safely remove. The easiest way is thru titanium back up. I highly recommend that you read the tips and guide sticky in the general section. You will save yourself a lot of headaches.

Download an app in the market called Titanium Backup....there is a PRO version which is the best..but the free one will do for now..you can use that to uninstall/delete certain apps that you dont want (ie bloat)....
yuo may also find this sticky thread useful

Find the "Delete the Bloat" section...and be careful of what you delete/uninstall..
Helo guys, I used to own a Samsung Galaxy S, and last week I got the Droid X2 from Verizon. So now I'm seeing new terms being used like sbf, debloat, freeze, etc...
My DX2 is root and I also have the V6 Supercharger, and I still can't get the GB update.
I believe many users on this forum have the same case as mine, so can anyone give us steps to follow in order to get the update.
Thank you so much
sbf back to stock using rsd.
download the gb update, flash in recovery
look under general in Droid x2 forums

I came from a similar situation. I just got the x2 as a replacement for my fascinate due to repetitive missed call issues. I updated to Gingerbread today using the tips on this forum & the file posted to the mediafire link. The first thing you'll need to do for this update to work is undue all the non-stock modifications you've done.
Unsupercharge
Unfreeze or replace any stock apps you may have uninstalled. This is where the sbf comes in, it's the stock image that was loaded when it left the factory.
Unroot, might not be necessary but its better safe than sorry. Especially since this update is unrootable atm.
Rename the downloaded file update.zip & put it in the root of your sdcard-ext.
Flash from the stock recovery & you should be good.
Whatever other info you need, search these threads-its in there somewhere.

So the sbf brings back the DX2 to its original settings and apps?

The SBF does infact restore you to stock 2.2.2
It should also be the first thing you do when you get the phone (before rooting etc) It blows my mind that people would mess with their device without doing an SBF at least once.
The SBF will usually require you to battery pull at the end, go to stock Android recovery and wipe data and cache. (unless you did that before running the SBF)
On Vista and Windows 7 make sure you right click RSDlite and choose to "run as admin"
Everyone who did the OTA or the 2.3 update from here at XDA and wants p3droids rooted update is going to have to SBF momentarily. We should get rooted 2.3 this afternoon according to p3's twitter
I unrooted my phone and uninstalled the Supercharger, I sbf'd back to stock Froyo successfully, and still I can't get the update. What else should I do?

GREAT, you have completed step one. Do not load anything else on your phone. You will not be getting a over the air update.
You have more work to do to get 2.3.3 on your phone.
Just follow the direction at this link.

Just to be clear.... He should eventually get an OTA update if he waits long enough. But he won't be able to root it. So follow the link above, and do those steps to install the rooted version of the update from 3Pdroid.
(Yeah I know that's obvious, but the title of this thead DOES include the words, "I'm Totally Lost". )
Thanks all, I'm on the pre-rooted GB now
Much appreciated
Is it possible? I've heard of one click root process, but I can't find that thread with the directions. If there is one, can someone link it for me? Thanks.

There is also a sticky right here in general forum made by moonshadow.
Easy as pie.
And we don't have a sbf that gives us root anyway. If u sbf at all u r going to need to use the rooting methods again to regain root

Let's be clear. It's called Pete's Motorola Root Tools. ...and hyperlinks are your friend.
And just to clear some things up, SBFing has nothing to do with rooting. You don't SBF to root or root to SBF. One does not require the other.
SBFing means putting your phone back to a particular stock install which makes it no longer rooted. Hence, if you SBF to a stock image (2.2.2, 2.3.3, 2.3.4), you'll lose any root privileges you had and you'll have to re-root your phone.
SBFing requires having an application called RSDLite as well as a particular SBF image (Froyo - 2.2.2, Gingerbread - 2.3.3 or 2.3.4).
Rooting requires running an application such as Pete's Motorola Tools that allows you to have root access to your phone. This means you are unlocking the phone so you can perform various other functions, such as running Titanium Backup so you can backup not only applications, but the data associated with said applications. It also allows you to make other tweaks under the hood to help make your phone run better, such as running Zepplinrox's turbo charger scripts, adding the init.d hack to allow you to run various startup scripts when you reboot and last, but not least, it also allows you to flash ROMs on the phone.
Hopefully that clears some things up for you.
This goes against most thinking in regards to Jelly Bean, but it seriously screwed up my phone when I got it. I had to have Verizon send me a new device because it was unusable. plus loosing my wifi tether just sucked.
How can I stop this stupid update? I don't want it to auto download, I don't want it to install and I'm getting sick of getting notified about it.
Please help me
Verizon Rooted Stock Droid Razr Maxx.
I have never used a custom rom, but if that is my only option at this point, can someone please point me to the most reliable and some seriously detailed info on how to install one...I've never done any of that, just rooted to get rid of bloatware.
thanks

If you screwed up your phone, just reflash your system version's fastboot file using RSD Lite. It will reflash all of your system files, no root needed. You also can easily update to jellybean because there's already a fastboot file for the update

You have a cdma phone, I would go for one of these two roms.

I have been using these two roms for ever, and im always coming back to them after trying different roms.
These two roms are really tweaked with a lot of nice customing and NO Blur, marvelous battery and speed!
Simplex has more customations but is a little bit bigger and comes with Apex Launcher in it. Eclipse is a little bit smaller and comes with a smaller ''eclipse launcher'' baked into the rom. Eclipse also have reverted colours in calendar and gmail, this means black background instead of white. I would go fro Eclipse rom with maybe Nova Launcher, the standard launcher can be uninstalled with Titanium Backup. If you do not really care about customation just go for the rom clean
The two roms are so stable that I run them on my stock:slot in Safestrap, no worries...
- You need Safestrap to install, read this thread and install!
(with safestrap you can do a nandroid backup of your whole room when everything is just the way you want, this way you will never loose anything!)

A simplified answer is just remove a Motorola app and the JB download will not install because it requires ALL original Motorola apps to install. Even if you hit install it will not. That's what I did on my 2 razr's.
So if you removed the bloat it should not install anyways.

If you hit install, It will try to install the JB update but it will fail half way through the install process and giving you the message "update failed, operation aborted" or something like that. I did it on both my razrs. The only way for me to install the JB update was to use the RDS lite and fast boot the original ICS files.
