When I received my phone, it was on GB 2.3.3. I got the OTA for 2.3.4. I am now rooted, and running Eclipse 1.3, with Speedy 7. I was trying to follow the steps to flash Eclipse 2.0.3, but when I tried to SBF to 2.3.4, it hangs on applying update in bootstrap. It just stays there, and never progresses to install. Is it supposed to take a long time to apply the update since my device was originally 2.3.3? I really want to update to the newest Eclipse, but this troubles me. It is possible I'm doing something wrong, but it does seem straight forward. Any help would be appreciated.
It hangs om applying update in recovery, just to clarify.

Make sure to apply update to 2.3.5 (.412 build) is applied using stock recovery not bootstrap. Phone off. Power and volume down button at same time. Volume down until you see stock recovery then volume up. When you see the triangle hit both volume buttons at same time. From stock recovery you install your update zip. Make sure to rename zip file to update first. Good luck.
Am I flashing 2.3.4 through bootstrap recovery, or stock? That's my issue, I do it through BSR, and it never applies the flash.
I know I need to SBF, but it never works.
To SBF, you need to use RSD Lite in Windows to flash 2.3.4. Once you've done that, apply the 2.3.5 update in android recovery. No need to to root until you've updated to 2.3.5. After you've applied the 2.3.5 update, root, install BSR and then install Eclipse using BSR.
Have a look at the first post in this thread. It looks like a lot but it's not as big a deal as it looks. You can just download the 2.3.4 file and use that. There's no need to do 2.3.3 first.

What does not work? Are you turning your phone off and powering it up and volume up at the same time to start your phone up in rsd mode. If not rsd it will not recognize your phone.
Also, before you SBF, boot into stock recovery and do a factory reset/data wipe.
After that, reboot and using RSD lite to SBF back to 2.3.4.
If you're new to SBFing, here's a link to a great tutorial to help you out:

Followed the directions, and I'm proud to say I am now running Eclipse 2.0.3! Thanks so much for your help!
Congratulations and enjoy. Dont forget to do a nano backup now and then you can play with some themes
Also i would highly recommend v6 supercharger. Moon shadow wrote up a good tutorial on how to install with 2.02 but it is the same for 2.03. If you are interested i can find you the link.
I have Speedy 7 installed, can I put in supercharger as well?

You would need to remove the 97 memory charger script from speedy 7.

Okay, so I see there are many people that have the same questions I had yesterday trying to apply this update with a custom ROM already on my phone. Here is what you'll need and how to get your phone updated. This isn't the only way to do it, but it's what I did and it was pretty easy. It was harder finding out how to do all of this, and in what order than actually doing the process.
It will take a little while to do this, roughly 30-45 minutes.
Here are the steps I had to use being on 1.5.7 with GingerBlur:
Here is what you'll need after backing up your apps/files to the SD Card, in this order:
Download RSD Lite 5.0
Download 1.8.3 sbf
Gingerbreak
GladEnable
Tenwar's System Recovery
GreyBlur 2.X (Or insert custom ROM here)
1: Flash the 1.8.3 update on to your phone using RSD Lite, this will reset your phone completely to stock.
2: Run GingerBreak to root the device.
3: At this point I was unable to install Tenwar's, so I used GladEnable to sideload it.
4: Installed Tenwar's and loaded up my custom ROM.
5: Restore your backup.
This should get you all updated and with your custom ROM installed.
Awesome! Thanks man
quick question: how do we make a backup (Ti Backup?) on our current setups? And will restoring the backup we make bring back all apps and settings and everything?
Thanks a lot for this....

Yes, use Titanium Backup to backup your User Apps and Data, not the system apps or data. And make sure to backup to your SD Card as the flash with wipe your internal memory and your backup will be lost. I had that issue and had to reinstall all of my apps. It's minor, but still a pain in the ass.
Flashing 1.83 should not wipe anything; as far as apps or info. goes. Some people have had a problem with gingerbreak wiping some things though. I flashed 1.83 and ran ginerbreak with no problems, except for having the bloatware re-installed and loosing my root, but that's to be expected.

When I flashed 1.8.3 through RSD Lite, it completely put everything back to bone stock. It wiped the entire internal memory. So I'm not sure if it should or shouldn't, but it did. I know it wasn't GingerBreak because you flash the update before installing GB.

Maybe because I was on 1.5.7, and flashed 1.8.3 instead of going back and OTAing the phone. That would make sense because the OTA process probably does a backup/restore during the process. As mentioned in the OP, it's only one way to do it, but there are other options.
the sbf download is sending me to Motorola site,, dont I need the sbf not the exe??

I've updated the link in the OP so you can download the correct file. My apologies.
Regarding 1.8.3 sbf, which of the sfb files from the link you provided is it? They vary in size. Thanks.
You want the one with the most hits and the ridiculously long filename.
It actually has 1.8.3 buried in the name of the file. It's a few from the top.
THANK YOU this has been a big question mark for me ever since 1.83 came out. Fantastic guide.

Did the GingerBlur 3.1 get fixed when it comes to the Webtop mod? Cuz I read something about it having a problem with actually working on this Rom? Maybe that was on the 3.0, so I figure 3.1 fixed it?
PLease just a simple "yes it works" or "No, it doesn't" will suffice
Thanks
Just wanted to post my initial experience with using RSDlite to update afterting and gingerblurring it.
I followed your how to as much as I could (You should provide a link to RSDlite instructions, I had to search for it because I didn't know how to do it exactly... not a big deal but it would make it easier/idiot proof)
When I first updated via RSDlite, something must hve went wrong. At first, A triangle and lil android was haunting me on my screen... so I went to reboot.. **** [I thought I bricked it]... Then I restarted it again... DOUBLE ****... Couldn't load into recovery... I restarted a third time and it loaded up(**** YES). But for some odd reason, it said I still had to update (even though it said the firmware was @ 1.8.3.)
Everything seemed to work fine, and was able too root and ginger blur it. About a few hours later, wifi seemed wonky (kept randomly disconnecting and the update dialog came up every 15 minutes).
I ended up reflashing to 1.2.8 and OTA's all the way up to 1.8.3 and then re-rooted and blurred it. No problems since the full refresh
Hopefully everybody elses experience goes better than mine!
Also, Random question. How do you remove Tenwars System Recovery app after using it to load up a rom?

You can use Uninstaller for Root (I found it on the Market), and you can uninstall from there if you wish. Personally I see no real reason to remove it, but you can if you need to with the above referenced Uninstaller. There are a few others that can do it, but UfR is free, which is clearly a win.
564mb for the sfb??? Thats freaking huge
GreyBlur on 1.8.3
After following the steps I still show
"System Version 4.1.57MB860.ATT.us"
rooted and sideloading enabled by gladroot then flashed greyblur 2.1....little help for the n00b?
I'm sorry if somebody already posted that, i swear I had a look
I have a SIM unlocked AT&T MB860 Atrix with gingerblur 4.5, and I would like to try some real gingerbread goods, which means bootloader unlock and 2.3.4 HKTW.
Do I have to flash back to 1.8.3 stock sbf before actually unlocking and installing gingerbread? I heard people saying is not safe to flash sbf for SIM-Unlocked Atrix because it can cause Wi-Fi problems, is it still the case?
Second problem: I had my phone rooted, but now I don't have an external micro SD card, so I wouldn't be able to root with gingerbreak-similar methods, is this a deal breaker or there is another way to complete the process all the way through?
Thanks a lot
As a general rule, it's best to flash back to stock before flashing anything else. Because Gingerblur requires Tenfar's recovery to run, I believe this will be the best way to do this. If someone else could chime in about the SIM-unlock/wifi issue, that would be great.
As for the rooting method on 2.3.4 HKTW, it works by installing a ZIP through recovery. In my own experience, it only seems to read external SD cards. If you can make it read the internal somehow, then you should be able to root.
i was on GingerBlur 3.1 (rooted via GladRoot), and did the following over the weekend
- flashed the unlocker SBF (still on 1.8.3)
- flashed the new CWM onto the phone via fastboot
- flashed GingerBlur 4.5 using that CWM, just for a few days
- flashed the 2.3.4 IMG using the Windows x64 guide in the general forum.
ran into no problems, and the GB build was already rooted when it booted up.

I just did this tonight, and for some reason, I had some problems flashing the 1.8.3 SBF directly. So I downloaded the 1.2.6 (shipping) firmware and just did the updates.
So I am trying to install the Stock Deodexed ROM and i've wiped and all but when I got to install the zip, it aborts. It says failure at line 7. I have backups of Stock 2.3.4 i can restore to, so I can get to my goal of being at 2.3.5 for the Eclipse update tonight, but I'd rather a clean install. Why is the install aborting?

This has happen to me before. I had to sbf and then it was fine for a while. But recently I had the same iussue again but I had already made a back up of eclipse 1.3 so I am also hoping eclipse 2.0 goes ok for me as well.
Finishing up a restore of my stock, then to update. The only reason I am is because i installed the mash up rom and my signal was amazing for a day, and then today, it has picked up miniscule 3g, dropped it, and remained on low 1x.
Flashing the deodexed rom is unnecessary, all you have to do is sbf to 2.3.4, root, use rootkeeper (if you want), update, and flash eclipse when released.

Nitro suggested I update to 2.3.5 before I go about installing the Eclipse 2.0 update this evening. Well whenever I try and flash a zip from SD card, it aborts and gives an error. It happens with the Update, and installing ROMS. I fear that I won't be able to update to 2.0 this evening because of this error. Any ideas to fix it?
Try and sbf and get a clean start. If you heave not done that then do that first. Which update did you use? .412 or. 413
Which recovery are you flashing the update from? I flash it from my external. See if that makes a difference. And as said you have to be bone stock 2.3.4 for the update to work

Updated with android recovery. The last time I tried to flash molten it aborted but I did not care since I already had backup of eclipse 1.3 I just updated to 2.3.5 with android recovery and restored root with rootkeeper app.
The best I have done is sbf the leak then flash the 213 ota from folder "1 235" in my fake mp3 http://www.mediafire.com/file/4loqisamcd4y8ya/1_to_4_235isAzip.mp3 just change it to .zip.
Ah this sucks. I flashed eclipse 2.0 and it aborted line 294 permission error crap again. So I sbf back to 2.3.4 and re rooted. Re did the update and then tried again. Same error. Man I dont understand it will flash everything else except on the roms. When I went to 2.3.5 I flashed the drop down toggles and battery fix. This only happens when I flash roms. I have work tomorrow so i guess I will sbf one more time and re root so I can get back to my back up of eclipse 1.3 and mess with this again on my next day off on Sunday. Maybe I will try to go back to 2.3.3 and do OTA updates? I am at a lost and have not heard of any fixes for this out there yet!!!
Still having the same problem here, too. I just sbf'ed to 2.2.2 instead of 2.3.4 and took all OTA's. Did a NAND on 2.3.4. Getting ready to update to 2.3.5 via stock recovery.
Well that was a fail, too. Currently on stock 2.3.5 rooted. Guess I'm not sure what to do now. I still have my nand of Eclipse 1.3 but would have to sbf back to 2.3.4 again and go through it all just to restore it. This sucks!

What did you do it get it to work? Did it fail last night for you also or was this your first time trying?
Well I SBF'd and factory reset from stock recovery. Then I updated to 2.3.5 from stock recovery. Then I rooted with ZergRush, and then I flashed 2.0.1 Eclipse with x2 Bootstrap.
There have been issues with Root Keeper. So if any of you are using that, dont. Follow these instructions and use these files:

Okay I used this tutorial RSD my droid x2 to Gingerbread 2.3.3 so that I could root it using the "Click to root your DROID 3.bat" tool. Not sure if it was the RSD (or sbf?) to 2.3.3 or the root that I'm not doing right but I get several process errors. I can not go to the camera roll because I always get a "process com.motorola.gallery has stopped working" error. I also cannot listen to music on my x2 because "The application Music (process com.android.music) has stopped working".
I just want a clean device without all the Verizon pre-loaded apps on it. I've followed that guide twice and still getting errors. What do I need to to do get my device working again?
Thanks in advance
I wouldn't use that guide, as it is much older than the ones I have followed.
Try using this guide instead. Note that it is based off of 2.3.4, but the process should be the same.
If that doesn't work, I would try 2.3.4 anyway as it is pretty much the latest and greatest.
For rooting, make sure you use this guide.
Yeah you don't want 2.3.3 you want 2.3.4, sbf to that one instead, boot into stock recovery and wipe data and cache. Reboot your phone, root with super one click. Install our BSR and pick a ROM

Second I need some help installing a custom rom. I like the look of Eclipse but have read that cryogenmod is good as well. Which rom would you recomend? (Doesn't have to be one of those two). Also aware that Eclipse is for 2.3.5 which im not currently on so wondering what I need to do to get there. Thanks

You don't really need Busybox installed as it just provides some useful tools for development. However, if the icon isn't showing up I would uninstall it, reinstall it and apply a older release (newest is 1.20.2, try 1.20 or older).
As for ROM's, CM7 is extremely stable and fast. I used to use it until CM9 was released, which looks and feels like ICS which will never "officially" come to our phone.
Eclipse is pretty great I have heard, never used it myself though.
Browse through the ROM's and see which ones interest you. Give them a try, but make sure to follow the directions very carefully
Shadow...don't link to another forum with an older version, nitro puts his stuff right here and its 2.3, and if you wanna link to something else go directly to nitros eclipse page, that being said I think you should do CM7 First, make a Nandroid backup of it then after a full week go try Eclipse 2.3 for a week.

Not sure exactly what this is, there are alot of apps on the play story but not sure if any of them are what I'm supposed to install. Little guidance? Also looking for a tut for step 9. Flash Eclipse.
Bootstrap is a .apk. You need to download it, unzip it and use package installer to install it on your phone. Its system recovery for the x2. Not available in play.
