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?

That's my understanding. But I haven't done it so I can only go off what I've read here.

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
Pete's One-Click Root Method works on the OTA. Just make sure you enable USB Debugging.
---------------
New Kernel (2.4.4): 2.6.32.9-00005-g2440aba [email protected] #2
Old Kernel (2.3.3): [email protected] #2
Build Number: 4.5.1a-dtn-150-30
---------------
The update (downloading and installing) took about 15 minutes for me. The new version is indeed 2.3.4.

Motorola has released their newest soak test today, at 12:12 EST. (atleast for me)
People living further west can expect the update to come later, Matt (@Motorola Forums) said.
Rooted phones cannot update. you must SBF to 2.3.3 stock to install the update.
I'll update this thread as more information is found.
If you get the update please remember to post at the project's forums over at Motorola.
Hey guys, I've been running the new 2.3.4 sbf since last weekend. There is a bug related to the battery reporting that I've noticed and from talking with other users here and at droid forums it doesn't seem to be an isolated problem.
Could you guys that get the soak test check and see if your battery reporting changes when you reboot the phone?? Mine can change 10-20% with each reboot.
It's not a huge deal, but something that is annoying and if we point it out before the end of the soak test maybe we can get it fixed before the official release.
Hopefully, this is just an issue with the SBF and the OTA wont have any problems, but please check because thats a bug we could miss if we aren't paying attention.
Thanks guys

Just rebooted my phone a few times, battery hasn't changed.
I was rooted on 2.3.3 and was able to upgrade to 2.3.4 but root is dead now.

Pete's one click method didn't work for you? The kernel is the exact same as the leaked SBF build, could be slightly altered to kill root with the official update. I'd grab the SBF if you want the latest kernel + 2.3.4 rooted.

I've rebooted many times with the sbf and never noticed. Now on Eclipse 1.0 and haven't noticed either. When I come out of cwm and reboot my battery reads wrong...a couple reboots fixes it.
EDIT: Just rebooted and it's reading 10% higher than b4. First time I noticed it.

So what is the verdict on being able to root the ota version? Did it get patched or is rooting with Pete one click doable?

I've found it does it more when you wear down the battery some, it reliably does it for me after going from a full charge down to around 70%. After reboot it will jump back up to 80-90%.
Anyways, its just something to look for when doing the soak test. It'd be great if the OTA didn't have this issue.

You can root with Pete's 1 click root.

Pete's one click failed the first time for me, but it automatically reattempted and it worked the second.

Nope, I've tried wiping battery stats, cycling the battery fully (fully charged to completely dead without charging in between), a few times now and haven't been able to get rid of it yet.

Same here!
So once again somethings broken on an update? Looks like I'll wait a little bit to see how this goes. Was just about to upgrade too.
Downloading Update...on rooted phone. Scared to install...
Edit...update failed to install...good i didn't want to install, my phone is running great right now...so i guess rooted phones can download but not install...it keeps bugging you to install so freeze "BlurUpdater_VZW.apk" i just renamed it "BlurUpdater_VZW.apk.BAK"
Ok after getting root by following the thread on rooting I proceeded to deodex my files, I have attached a link to them with instructions. I will work on a tutorial so you can do it yourself when I get a chance. Please leave comments and remember I am not responsible if you get a paperweight. Working great for me seems more responsive.
rooting:
Install SuperUser from Market then follow the below link look at last post omit last command :

Thank you very much for posting this, to clarify Metter has a Milestone X2 this doesn't necessarily completely apply to the Droid X2.

Did you allow superuser access ?
It did not even ask me for super user access.
Just did it successfully on my Milestone X2 2.3.6 (freshly rooted, my carrier is Bluegrass Cellular).

Damn. Sorry. The atrix is confirmed to be working, but it doesn't say which version is confirmed. Worth a shot.
Even with that error, keep following the instructions. I used the same guide, kept going even after it saying command not found and I still got rooted.

So I rooted my phone about 3 days ago using a not so popular method i think. I rooted my phone without using a computer or a dock and pushed the tmp file with terminal emulator. That's not my issue though. My issue is that I attempted to install cm9 but I F**cked up because i am new at this kinda stuff. Now My phone is bricked and all it says is "failed to boot 2 starting RSD mode" I cant do anything though. I am downloading 1FF sunfire user 2.3.4 zip i have RSDLite 5.5 I cant seem to find the SBF for it.
If someone could help me by giving me step by step instructions it would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
I need Urgent Help as I am leaving out of town this weekend and I need my phone working by then. PLEASE HELP
Thanks,

Mario did you do the OTA to 2.3.5? If so you have a expensive paper weight. The new OTA doesn't allow flashing.

No worries, you'll be fine. Sounds like you're having the same problem as another gentleman we've been helpin for the past couple days. You've flashed a rom that you can only use while having an unlocked bootloader. Please refer to my post in his thread right here for a link to an sbf and video directions. This will only work if you rooted while you had 2.3.4. If you took the recent ota update from moto that put you on 2.3.5 then I can't help you.

You can root 2.3.5 just fine. You just can't install custom ROMs if you had it. No you're not bricked, it would have just been an easy fix if you tried this while having 2.3.4 installed. If you had 2.3.5, you just made it extremely difficult on yourself. Hope isn't lost, your just out of my area of expertise. Should have read around the forums a bit more, the 2.3.5 issue is common knowledge round here.
