What exactly did you edit in build.prop?

what did it fix??

Ever since I installed 2.2 I've been having random reboots and screen freezing
[Droid X Android Development] bignadad:
i did what you posted on thread in this section

Open system/build.prop with text editor

Go down to media.stagefright and turn them all from false to true

Thats seemed to just help with speed.. along with ridding my live wallpaper.

not getting any reandom reboots or screen freezing.. i would try sbf

Droid X 2.2 Rooted
[Droid X Android Development] arstinince:
Newb here

Hey all, I know this question has been somewhat answered already, its just that I don't quite understand some of the technical stuff involved with rooting the phone. I just brought home the droid x and want to root it. I don't have incredible exp doing this sorta thing so if someone can help with a walkthrough I'd appreciate it. I have windows 7 and the phone is completely stock. The problems I've been having with some of the instructions are the parts where it tells you to run "insert cmd here". Not sure where to run these from or where to get the programs to run them cuz of my lack of exp (esp with linux). I would hate to brick the phone cuz I misunderstood something. Thanks in advance!
[Droid X Android Development] smithkjnc:
When I try to update to 2.2 it constantly gives the following:

assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/cityID.apk" , "81d07cc602a57404cb92263e450af09046661c45" , "b205c8ce92e20e1bd54d752884ca00b4942e8ae1")

Any Ideas?
[Droid X Android Development] bignadad:
I would try a sbf (factory reset)

Instructions are in post 1

Hello somebody nice help me....i have droix x rooted with easy root and downloaded the boot strap application....so in this point what I have to do to upgrade....
[Droid X Android Development] notaxdaadmin:
rename CityID.bak to CityID.apk
[Droid X Android Development] smithkjnc:
I tried to flash the SBF but it keeps failing also....argh

I think that I removed the cityID when I originally rooted it. Is there a way to reinstall it?
[Droid X Android Development] smithkjnc:
The error I am getting when I try to flash the phone is:

Got it.....just needed to update the RSD and all went through.
[Droid X Android Development] Joe92T:
I dont know why people are having stability problems with 2.2... for me the froyo release has been bugfree and has given me absolutely no problems or trouble.. even less so then the factory 2.1 did
[Droid X Android Development] inzandity:
Actually I was having this issue as well. I ended trying different computers, OSes, versions of RSD, different "gifts" and everything. Found out that it was because of the battery was under 50%. Which explains why it must have worked for you later...your battery had a few minutes to bump above 50%
[Droid X Android Development] arstinince:
trying to figure this out here

hey again, ok so is this root a bit more difficult because it isn't a rom?
[Droid X Android Development] denpad2010:
Why nobody help me......i want upgrade to froyo but I'm scared to mes s my phone....i have rooted droid x and have bootstrap application installed to boot on recovery mode what I need to upgrade??
[Droid X Android Development] DivinityCycle:
You "need" to read the instructions already posted at the very beginning of this thread prior to posting questions which have already been answered. From Post #1, here's the relevant part:

"If you have Koush's recovery installed, follow these steps BEFORE attempting to update to 2.2:

1. UNINSTALL the Recovery APK in Settings, Applications

2. Reboot

3. Run "adb shell"

4. Run "su"

5. Run "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system"

6. Run "cp /system/bin/logwrapper.bin /system/bin/logwrapper"

7. Reboot"

You could do this same process via Root Explorer or Terminal Emulator directly on the phone. You're basically just needing to remove the bootstrapper temporarily. Once you've got 2.2 installed, you can reinstall it, it works fine on 2.2, just causes the "update.zip" to fail.
[Droid X Android Development] cray1000:
why does the first post thank rainabba / birdman for this froyo release?

I am not on a side in this whole thing, birdman is awesome, but i was pretty sure they ahd nothing to do with the 2.2 release? it says it on like the 3rd line, so its pretty prominent too, did i misss something?

(sorry i didnt have tiem to read this thread to see fi this has been brought up before, i did flip through the 33 pages and didnt see anything)

[Droid X Android Development] microdot:
Question fro everybody that is already using the leaked froyo version. With froyo are you guys able to watch hulu? i know techinically you should be able to but heard rumors that hulu still blocks it some how.
[Droid X Android Development] thelionelking:
Is the update.zip file from the 4shared link in the OP, one that can be simply flashed through the bootloader? Or does it have to be done through ADB? It's strange that the one link still active has a file size of 69.185 MB and the original update.zip I downloaded via MyDroidWorld on the first day of the leak has a file size of 67.56 MB on disk.

Once Motorola issued MyDroidWorld the C&D the link I found here is the only active link with an update.zip file that I have found. The Mediafire one is dead already. I'm trying to get Froyo out to my other friends with an X that were slow to update.
[Droid X Android Development] bignadad:
I just used the update.zip from post 1 yesterday without a problem.. i followed steps in post 1 as well.. works great :)
[Droid X Android Development] thelionelking:
Yeah but the instructions in the 1st post involve ADB I'm talking about just going into bootloader and running the update.zip is that what you did?
[Droid X Android Development] harsaphes:
ok guys i need help. I have downloaded the file. If i try and run terminal on my phone I get an error that i dont have permission. I have the correct system version. I have Bootstrapper installed.

What am i doing wrong?

Thankyou.
[Droid X Android Development] SiXiam:
Thanks for the guide, now running Froyo!

Had a little bit of trouble because I deleted city id & a few other apps, so I had to use the spf file. I did decide against wiping after I reinstalled the update. Just used *228 to reactivate the phone. Might screw me up, but I didn't see the point in wiping.
[Droid X Android Development] harsaphes:
Ok I removed Bootstrapper. I still get an error message when trying to use terminal. typing adb shell yields a permission denied error.

Ideas?

thanks

Ok I am in the terminal..yeah..but now if I type adb it says not found. If i type the next line ..mount ect it says mount -o not found.

Thanks.
[Droid X Android Development] arlan_jacob:
I have the same problem phone works but have m logo all the time verry hard to use but you can unlock and recive calls if you know where to tuch the screen. I have tryed sbf-ing 6 times each time was sugsesfule and 2.1 would work fine then after following all instructions one click root adb comands then recovery and install update.zip wich works then boot and back to the m logo. i did the sbf on windows 7 64bit and 32 bit. any one fiend a fix for this yet would like to try froyo. thanks
[Droid X Android Development] MXMike:
Just tried this and it doesn't work...bummer
[Droid X Android Development] denpad2010:
I gonna wait for the ota...so my next question...i have phone rooted...with bootstrap...i will be able to receive ota...thanks
[Droid X Android Development] arlan_jacob:
Ok so I figured something out for anyone with this problem phone works if battery is removed for 5 min then put back in and turned on. phone will boot and screen works. The only problem is when you turn the phone off and back on your rite back to the moto logo again you have to remove the battery for five min. so every time your phone is turned off or reset you have to remove the battery for five min don't short it wont work then it will work fine. I hope someone fiends out y this is happening and can come up with a permanent fix.
[Droid X Android Development] sp1kez:
There is a fix for hulu, you gotta download an edited version of flash player or edit your browser string
[Droid X Android Development] jsmuli2:

[Droid X Android Development] bignadad:
What method of rooting did you use?
[Droid X Android Development] MrDanger:
Finally got my Droid X today. As soon as I got it, I rooted and install Froyo.

Recieved Froyo at 4pm... rooted with Froyo at 4:33 pm.

Thanks for the simple post OP
[Droid X Android Development] bignadad:
No Prob :)

I really value clear simple directions

Easy root than i update to froyo i am supposed to be rooted right...when i open easy root it say i already rooted but apps say i dont
[Droid X Android Development] dr154:
thats because when u updated to froyo you lost root access, but its still rooted, just forgot to move su to xbin to bin or vice versa. thats all
[Droid X Android Development] denpad2010:
I will try thabks....

Mmmm i remember i used to have root explorer but dont remember i paid for it...cause i foind in market but i have to pay...
[Droid X Android Development] KILL3RSTI:
Ok, I am having some problems.......I rooted my phone, did everything to make this work, and it worked, than I started realizing I couldn't find all the apps on the market, so I started to do that fix, and it wouldn't work......I have no idea why, it was all of a sudden acting like my phone wasn't rooted anymore....so I tried to root it again, and it didn't work at all, so I reset the phone to factory specs, and was going to do everything again....but the 2.2 firmware stayed with it, and didn't reset back to the 2.1, and now its not letting me root it at all. I do the 1 click method and it says you have been successfully rooted, but no root apps work on the phone, and I cant get access through CMD. I tried the other root process as well, and got an error on that one as well.

Can somone please help me get this all resolved?
[Droid X Android Development] KILL3RSTI:
when I do this on the long way

adb push exploid /sqlite_stmt_journals/exploid

it says failed to copy 'exploid' to '/sqlite_stmt_journals/exploid' no such file or directory
[Droid X Android Development] KILL3RSTI:
nevermind.....I just reset back to 2.1 and than rooted, I think I'll stay here for a while lol
[Droid X Android Development] Joe92T:
One annoying thing i hate about the 2.2 update we have is that there is NO SILENT whatsoever... it goes from Ringer Volume.. and then it goes to Vibrate.. there is NO silent feature whatsoever, like there was with 2.1.. certainly comes in handy when your in a meeting at work and your phone wont stop vibrating because theres no silent feature so its always going to annoy you somehow
[Droid X Android Development] denpad2010:
I didn't realize...its right but I don't care cause I don't use that feature anyway but some people do
[Droid X Android Development] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Use Curvefish Silentmode widget ... it's a 3-way toggle .. Normal/Vibrate/Silent.
[Droid X Android Development] chris6551:
but remember if you haven't already run super user you need to type in "su" after "c:\android-sdk-windows\" and your "$" will change to "#

Im lost on the above statement,t if you are running this on your pc then #1 how would you run superuser on your pc and two how and where would you input it.

will this work

open rootexplorer

navigate to the /system/bin folder and hold down the su file, then select move

navigate to the /system/xbin folder and press the menu button (4 squares)

select edit and then paste

sorry for the newbe question but when I run adb shell in on my phone in the emulator in get adb not found. so I tried it on my pc terminal and same thing I just can not seem to figure this out. lol I have never really had a problem when it came to rooting or flashing roms but this step really has me stumped, and I cant find a answer in here anywhere. If someone could help me I would really appreciate it.

Upgrade to froyo 2.3.13!!

[Droid X Android Development] joe7dust:
DISREGARD, I MISSED THE STEP WHERE IT SAID TO COPY/REPLACE THE EXISTING .INI WITH A NEARLY IDENTICAL ONE

Sorry if this has been answered, but with no visible thread search and 37 pages it is hard to tell...

I get the error code 0x703B (Phone is not compatible with multi-interface super-file.)

This is a Droid X that had 2.2 but got stuck in an endless reboot loop after flashing it for another carrier, and then making some manual programming changes to attempt to get the internet to work.

I notice after loading the SBF one of the file properties says "Platform: 4G OMAP" but Droid X isn't 4G compatible... probably unrelated to my error but worth mentioning I guess.
[Droid X Android Development] joe7dust:
Semi-bricked phone from this...

I had 20-30% battery when I started this guide, and after about 5 minutes of flashing it popped up flashing BATTERY LOW / CANNOT PROGRAM

Now after charging it from the wall-adapter overnight it still says the same thing and appears to not be charging at all, because it won't turn on unless plugged in.

I also tried 1-2 hours of charging on 12V from car, USB from PC last night.

I'm going to buy an external charger if they make one and try with a fresh battery.
[Droid X Android Development] thepolishguy:
I am just curious as to what it is you are trying to accomplish? Trying to make sure I know what it is you are doing. Are you trying to do the SBF? You have a phone that was running 2.2 OTA? And you are trying to do the SBF to restore it? Or are you trying to accomplish something else?
[Droid X Android Development] joe7dust:
Droid X stuck in endless reboot loop after changing manual programming settings for internet username/password. Phone was already flashed for MetroPCS Voice/SMS but was just trying to get data working.

Once I turned the wifi on it just started rebooting over and over. It was recommended that I manually flash to factory defaults using this guide.
[Droid X Android Development] thepolishguy:
Ok- well I am not sure who recommended that and I am not downing them - but I do not recommend that. The full SBF is available for 2.2 ota and I would recommend you do that. I will double check the OP- but if you have an X that was running the 2.2 ota udate - then you want to run the SBF to restore your system.

Of course I could still be having some communication problems. Maybe you were trying to use this method so you would not mess up your flash to MetroPCS? If that is the case then I have no idea.

So - are you trying to get your phone working again on Verizon? Or are you trying to keep Metro?

Sorry for my moronness. Just trying to help. Because if you just want to restore- with Verizon- I can point you to some instructions I used recently to "unbrick" my phone.
[Droid X Android Development] joe7dust:
Plan to keep it on metro, but if this method means I have to re-flash it afterwards that is fine.

Anyways I hope the OP reads what happened and adds a big, red letter disclaimer at the top. CHARGE TO 100% BEFORE STARTING THIS!

I had 30% or so and my **** got bricked or semi-bricked we'll see after my new battery and external charger arrives.

Go ahead and link what you were referring to I'll use that if I need to to get it back to where this guide will work.
[Droid X Android Development] thepolishguy:
Here is a link to the guide I used. It is for the 2.1 SBF though.

http://www.intomobile.com/2010/09/21/droid-x-stock-android/

Here are the instructions with my modifications for 2.2...

IMPORTANT!!! - the directions are for restoring 2.1 so you do not do some of the steps! They were the best I could find. I followed them except for things that did not apply.

instructions:

1. First off, choose the right version of Motorola USB drivers for your computer and install them (32bit) (64bit)

2. Download & install RSD Lite 4.7 (download)

I did not use 4.7 as it is not current. I used 4.9

You will need to patch this after installing. There is an .ini file included in the folder that needs to be placed in your install directory. /Program Files/Motorola/RSD Lite

I used 4.9 and did not have to patch any files- the above step was unnecessary.

3. Download the Droid X Android 2.1 SBF file, which you can find here

of course I used the 2.2 SBF file here...

http://rootzwiki.com/

4. Unzip the SBF file to your desktop

i did not unzip mine to the desktop- i put it where i stash my android files- it made no difference.

5. Run RSD Lite, and click the “…” button, then find the SBF file that you just unzipped to your desktop and select it.

Starting here i followed the directions to the "t". Went through all the steps. !!!!!MAKE SURE YOU START WITH 100% BATTERY!!!!!! It takes a long time and if your phone dies during the process it is a nightmare.

6. Plug your Droid X into your computer and power it down

Go into the Bootloader (with phone off, hold the CAMERA button and VOLUME DOWN, then hit the POWER button)

After holding for 2-3 seconds, release the buttons and RSD Lite should recognize your Droid X

7. Click the start button to flash Android 2.1 to your phone.

of course we are flashing 2.2

8. When the flashing is complete, unplug your phone

The Droid X will likely not boot up all the way, so pull the battery out

Put the battery back into the phone and reboot into Recovery mode ( Hold the HOME button and press POWER until you get an exclamation mark. Release the HOME button and press the SEARCH button)

Using the VOLUME UP/DOWN buttons, navigate to “wipe data/ factory reset” option on the screen, and press the CAMERA button halfway down to execute.

When complete, choose to reboot your phone

9. It takes a while. Hope this helps. And I hope it goes smoothly. It was nerve racking for me. After you have finished the process you will not be rooted. Use the market app "Z4root" or which ever method you prefer.

good luck.
[Droid X Android Development] joe7dust:
Why don't you recommend using the original guide? I can't do either of these until after my external charger and 2nd battery arrive. My DX doesn't charge any more.
[Droid X Android Development] thepolishguy:
Well- the original guide is SBF for 2.1. If your phone is running 2.1 then by all means use the 2.1 SBF and this guide.

But again- I was just under the impression that you were using 2.2. If you are running 2.2 then you cannot do the SBF using the 2.1 SBF - it will not work.

Also the original guide says to use RSDLite 4.7 and then patch a file blah blah blah. Why would you want to do that when RSDLite 4.9 is available and does not need any patch?

So - if you are running 2.1 - then yes - use the 2.1 guide. If you are using 2.2, uhhh, then I would not follow that guide exactly how it is written.
[Droid X Android Development] joe7dust:
This step should be super easy considering it goes to the bootloader screen regardless of how I turn it on. ;) Downloading 2.2 SBF now...

edit: For whatever reason, there is more of a delay before Wi-Fi kicks on now so I was able to get it to stop constantly rebooting without doing a factory wipe. I just went and turned wi-fi off and now its not rebooting, so I should be able to undo the data-related manual programming I did that started all this. BTW I have a hunch that instead of doing all this bootloader junk, I could have just gone into recovery mode by holding home then power -> select factory wipe.
[Droid X Android Development] thepolishguy:
Yeah - my bad. I assumed if you were doing this than you had already tried that. I had a teacher tell me, "Never 'assume' anything. To 'assume' makes an 'ass' out of 'u' before 'me'.

I guess that makes me the 'ass' in this scenario. If I wasn't such a newb I would have come up with the factory data wipe. Sorry.
[Droid X Android Development] joe7dust:
I think its a blessing I didn't do that because all my apps are still on the phone. This SBF slowed down the boot process on my phone long enough to disable wi-fi and then manually undo the programming that was causing wi-fi to reboot the phone constantly.

Of course I lost root, and my metroPCS setup... but it isn't taking too long to redo that stuff.

Anyone know of a QPST guide for the Droid X? I need to use it to edit some UM/AN settings to get data working, more info here: http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...rnet-talk-tex-working?p=14132642#post14132642
[Droid X Android Development] joe7dust:
Nevermind, I got the UM/AN stuff settled in QPST.

My only issue now is Email doesn't work. I can use the Ymail App, but Gmail app doesn't work so I can only view it through the browser or connect wi-fi.

I don't like using the Ymail app, because the Universal Inbox works great for gmail/ymail/texts all in one. (but only texts if I'm not connected to wi-fi)
[Droid X Android Development] suzook:
Remove the app....its gone.
[Droid X Android Development] barry1685:
What do you mean?
[Droid X Android Development] suzook:
The hack is gone once u reboot out of recovery.
[Droid X Android Development] barry1685:
Oh so the app isn't on the phone once you reboot into recovery?
[Droid X Android Development] mattyboy1013:
sorry, i just saw bunch of people saying thanks as if you were koush, didnt want to stir up trouble
[Droid X Android Development] phoenx06:
Actually, I just tested thy theory. I uninstalled the app, and rebooted. I then reinstalled the app and clicked reboot bootloader and it it went into Clockwork recovery. So, this means whatever files were added when you clicked Bootstrap Bootloader are still there.
[Droid X Android Development] suzook:
No, The app is there....but the "hack files" are gone.
[Droid X Android Development] Ezun:
Reading though how this was done they talk about the fact that the files are placed there for the session you're in and they delete once you reboot. So they will always "appear" to be there if you bootstrap.
[Droid X Android Development] malac0da13:
You only have to do the boot strap once though. So doesn't that mean that the boot strap does some thing that is not reversed once the phone is rebooted?
