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

One more question, will I need to go through the activation process with my carrier after SBF flash?
which carrier?

just dial *228 if you don't get an activation screen.
it's an automated call just press 1, when prompted.

you should just use ezSBF DX2 2.3.4
less likely to cause reactivation problems

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.

So I've read the instructions 10 times over for how to get from my current state to installing CM7.
Two questions:
Do I have to install a 2.3.4 SBF then unlock/root then install the rom? Or can I unlock my 1.8.3 and proceed to install CM7?
Second, in the IHOP thread, it seems I should be flashing the 2.3.4 SBF with pudding/root already included. But those links are down. Where can I download the needed SBF to flash?
Thanks!
Just flash the unlock SBF. you dont need to update.

Does it matter if I'm currently on greyblur and my phone thinks it's on the one before 1.8.3?

The title says it all. I'm on a Droid X2 flashing eclipse and it ran into an error so I rebooted. Now I'ts constantly stuck on the M Motorola screen. Any suggestions?
You'll probably want to SBF back to 2.4.3 and start over.

HowTo: Perform a SBF ("factory restore") of your Motorola Droid X2
Sent from my XT862 using xda premium
Lol, should've proofread. I meant 2.3.4. But if you check the post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317707
That will give you directions to SBF to 2.3.4. Then follow the directions provided on the eclipse page.

or use ezSBF for dx2
no rsd lite, or moto drivers needed
find in my list

there is a 2.3.5 sbf
then root with magic md5 root
both in my list
Also make sure not to use ota rootkeeper. If you have it installed on your phone after you're rooted, uninstall it or when you try to flash eclipse from 2.3.5 it will fail. I ran into that problem.

I personally would recommend using RSD Lite to SBF back to 2.3.4. ezSBF uses linux and could be confusing if never done before, plus using RSD Lite you literally just plug your phone into your computer and hit Start. I am new so can't post a link but i guess u can PM me and I can send you the link that way if you would like. Good luck!
links to 2.3.4 sbf and rsd lite are also in my list
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

you can install eclipse 2.3 as phone is on 2.3.5
if you soft brick, do not use rsd lite, it will wipe radio settings
you should be able to use DX2 2.3.4 ezSBF or flash SBFs with 'sbf_flash'
links in my list
sd_shadow's [Collection] of Links: FAQs, Guides, Rooting, SBFs, ROMs... - Google Docs
good idea to back up apn settings, using 'apn back up and restore'
and make a nandroid in DX2 bsr (bootstrap/ system recovery)
There is a very good flash to Cricket tutorial over on cricketusersforums that will guide you through the flashing process... I had to reflash my X2 so many times I became a pro lol... Just in case you have to sbf you won't be totally screwed.
