DROID X2 OTA/Leak 2.3.5 fails

Thanks in advance for any help. This is kicking me hard in the hiney.

Been working on this all night, trying to get Eclipse 2.0.2 on this DROID X2. The recommended way of getting root is using the v3 toolkit on the 2.3.5 OTA/Leak update, and this has seemed to work for everyone who has tried it, because I cannot find anyone who has the same issues I do.

Hellions with Blue Flames plague me.

I can root the 2.3.4 SBF without issue, but the 2.3.5 has failed a GREAT many times in the last 12 hours. Again, this is the same process known and loved by millions to install nitro's Eclipse 2.0.2 on the DROID X2, so I am kind of at a loss...

Procedure

SBF stock 2.3.4

activate

reboot

install 2.3.5 OTA / Leak update.zip from SDCard using stock recovery

reboot

run v3.0 toolkit
