Dang! Okay so just follow all those instructions... I know its early but of the FEW roms available, do you guys like eclipse the best??
seems like a lot of work lolol...
You do not have to go back to froyo. As a matter of speaking, it will not work if you go all the way back to froyo because you still need a gb kernel.
Never mind. I'm wrong for not reading. I didn't realize that you were on stock gb. With stock gb, yes you need to go back.
Once you are on rooted GB, you can use the bootstrap recovery to flash any of the custom roms available for GB without going back to froyo every time. The real chore is getting rooted.

Sweet so we can always switch roms! nice, dang, I wish I could have someone root my phone lol
Okay, so here is basically what you need to do.
1. sbf back to froyo
2. Go find the link to p3droid's pre-rooted gb update.
3. Install bootstrap for your phone.
4. Find your rom that's right for you.
5. Use bootstrap.
6. ???
7. Profit!
Hope this helps
Sent with pre-rooted gb, and swype 3.0 both of which are awesome and sexy.

What do you mean by bootstrap. When I first rooted I had an app that let me boot into recovery. Is that bootstrap? If so once i updated to p3's gb I don't see that app anymore. This is probably a really lame issue, but some clarification would be greatly appreciated!
Once on p3's GB, reinstall the bootstrap recovery app, and use it to flash the eclipse rom.

What he said. reinstall the system recovery apk.
I don't know if you can do it on a mac, because I don't have one, but I'm almost positive that android sdk works on mac, so I want to day that you probably can. In addition, I wanted to post a link to a helpful thread on sbf to froyo: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193818

Nvmd. I made a rookie mistake. I thought that the driver had installed but instead it installed both the 32 and 64 bit which was screwing me up...Got it! Thanks K33pw1shen and Tim. Now, my next question. I know v2 of eclipse is coming out anytime now, should I wait til v2 or is it easy to dwnld v1 and upgrade to v2?

I guess if they aren't updating then I get why you posted, you do need to PM them though to get anything added. We don't have a mod dedicated to x2 forum. But seriously mike, if they don't read that they won't read this either, that is a totally moot point.

I think it might be a good idea to show which versions of roms need to be flashed over 2.3.3 or 2.3.4
Split the GB section into two subsections?

Thanks for the great post. It's nice to have everything in one place (in a post that is updated more frequently than the sticky)
You might also want to include the following:
X2 SD Storage flip-flop

Maybe under "Utilities", or common patches etc. as this is useful for some of the new roms that don't include it already.

Most of the ROM's are in there now except the new liberty.. just need to update some of the patches and root methods..
The roms are broken down by sbf they are based on in the wiki.

Did you sbf and take the latest OTA? The current version of the Eclipse will function only on that version of gingerbread.
yes but ill try it again just to back track my steps. I have factory reset had to sbf after Miui and before. I always sbf and wipe no matter what I do I am kind of OCD and have to start new Ill give it a go right now.
I have also tried new SD cards as well. I have been messing with dev. for a while so I know a lot about it I also read everything and more before I do anything (OCD) Been working on my A100 and its been easy and was easy flashing Miui dont know what I missed
I have the correct 2.3.5 (412) build so I dont get it

If you are trying to flash Eclipse 2.2.1, you must be on the OTA 2.3.5 (418) build. Also, you have to root 2.3.4 and backup root using Voodoo before updating to 2.3.5.
and remove voodoo's su backup, before flashing eclipse
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Latest official is 418. Latest eclipse won't work with 412. That could be the problem.

That isn't the latest build. 418 is.

I'll remove voodoo but I DL Eclipse that was with the 412 file in the same thread unless I did not see It right. I tried to flash this a week ago and had to stop messing w/it I was editing band pics in PS & LR so I just now picked it up again. I DL the Blur version 412 should I kick that to the curb and DL 418? I was under the impression that the GBP7v0.5 would work with 2.3.5 412 though if so that would not flash as well

Correct me if I am wrong Eclipse did work with that version at one time or no? I saw Eclipse 3.0 but have not read the forum yet and I have been working on my Acer tab more. When I was on 2.3.4 I had no issues with Miui I had to sbf to 2.3.4 from OTA Leak 2.3.5 b/c I was not to fond of that rom at that time I will flash it at another time. I really dig the Eclipse Rom so if I need to start ov and it looks that way then I will have to read up on everything so I know what I am doing and not half assing it. I hate doing that.

I saw the 3.0 version for the Bionic and I have 418 DL now I am going to read some and flash the 418 and try Eclipse then if all is good take care of voodoo and hope it works. However I have some reading to do before hand. I am sure if it foes not go right I'll complain about it even if it is an operator error I'll still have to blame my DX2 for any errors. I think thats how it works

Edit: See post below.
You don't even need voodoo anymore. Just take ota and root using motofail.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Did ya get it?
LaserChicken, those steps are incorrect!!
In order to flash eclipse 2.2.1 just do this...
-SBF to 2.3.4
-Root using Petes 1 click method
-Download VooDoo OTA Rootkeeper from play store
-Backup root & TEMP UNROOT (do not delete backup yet!!!!!!! )
-Settings>About Phone>Software Update> DOWNLOAD 2.3.5 OTA
*After downloading 2.3.5 from system settings the phone will reboot to stock recovery and install 2.3.5 kernel.*
-Reboot
-Open VooDoo, restore root
-NOW DELETE SU BACKUP FROM VOODOO
-Once you restore root & delete the backup < IMPORTANT! from voodoo you should be able to flash eclipse from BSR

Straight from nitro in another thread. Sbf, take ota, root via motofail, install bsr and flash eclipse then profit. So much easier than the previous method.

Ok, I just grabbed Motofail, gonna sbf and try it myself.
I am about to try this one more time I have been dealing with my psycho fish giving birth to about 80 swimming eyeballs so its been a crappy day and I hope my DX2 does not feel the wrath. I have Factory Rest the phone with and without Voodoo I have also let it OTA and that was with the Stock version 2.3.4 MOTO sent installed on the phone. I have missed a little step and I am going to do what well...all of you guys said and ill let ya know in about 30. Also you guys F-Ing ROCK!!!!
I just found my Droid X2 at the back of a drawer and want to see if I can give it a second life. The phone was factory reset and I can't go through the activation process. Verizon always says the programming unsuccessful. I'm just wondering if there is anyway I can use the phone either bypassing the activation or flash a different rom (which is preferred) and be over with Verizon.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

cm7 and eclipse 2.3 are pretty stable, but only android 2.3/ gingerbread
there is a cm10 (Jellybean) but not as stable
nothing has been updated in a couple of years.
because of the locked bootloader:
if you are installing cm7, cm10 DX2 should be on stock 2.3.4 system version 1.3.380
for eclipse 2.3 should be on stock 2.3.5/1.3.418

Hi All,
I have a Motorola Droid X2 with android 2.3.5. I really want to upgrade to the latest version of Android.
I did a google search, and find this link that has lollipop available for Droid X2,
rom-lollipop.org/mp3-0/motorola-droid-x2-3959.html
I tried to download the files from the provided link. The "ROM Part I" was successfully downloaded to my computer,
however, the 2nd and the 3rd parts just won't be downloaded successfully no matter what tricks I tried, and how many times I tried.
Has anyone here try this link to see if you can successfully download the lollipop and install it to your Droid X2 ?
Or it is simply a fake link not worth of our efforts at all.
Thank you very much !!
