[Droid X General] EtherBoo:
Hi guys,

I'm a bit lost and unsure what to do.

I installed GummyJar, and like an idiot, didn't read that I need to be on 2.3.320 or 2.3.340.

I was previously on ZapX for 2.2 (purchased phone in early October). So I'm not sure what to do. Is there an SBF that will directly put me on 2.3.340? Would it be wiser to flash to my original SBF (the_gift2.zip I believe), and let my phone automatically get the OTA update?

I'm not really sure what the best thing to do is.

Thank you for any advice and help.
[Droid X General] thepolishguy:
Did you create a back up before you installed Gummy? I know that is praobably a stupid question since you are asking how to SBF -but I thought maybe you didn't think about restoring your backup?

How to perform the sbf:

I did this. It worked for me. I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF THIS DOES NOT WORK FOR YOU OR IF YOU MUFF IT UP.

ok- so here is the link that I used as a guide - 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.

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

instructions:

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

You probably have already done this.

2. Download & install RSD Lite 4.7 (download)

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

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7782384/RSD%20Lite%204.9.rar

3. 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.

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

of course I used the 2.2 SBF file. Make sure you use the right sbf file or you will really be hosed!!! if you are on 2.2 you can get the full sbf file from here...

http://rootzwiki.com/index.php/Main-Page/Droid-X-Full-2.2-SBF.html

5. 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.

6. 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.

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

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

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

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

of course we are flashing 2.2

11. When the flashing is complete, unplug your phone

12. 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)

13. 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

14. 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.

15. good luck.
[Droid X General] EtherBoo:
Thank you very much. An extra question to go along with this.

Once I SBF, I'm assuming I'll be back at stock (ick). How long will it take for the OTA to apply? Can I manually update it from there?
[Droid X General] thepolishguy:
Well- of everything goes right you should be able to go to your phone settings, scroll down to the bottom to "About phone", then "System updates". You should be able to manually update from there.

If you get a "your device is up to date message," then something went haywire. Hopefully that won't happen.

Oh yeah - here is the link for "z4root" -you can use it to root your phone after the update...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7782384/z4root.1.3.0.apk

If your phone won't manually update, there is an update.zip floating around here. I have it - but not on the computer I am currently working from -sorry.

Again I want you to know - I am not an expert at this - if something goes wrong I will not be able to help you fix it (probably). I just followed the guide and it worked for me. So if something happens when you follow the guide -I am sorry but I won't be much help.
[Droid X General] EtherBoo:
Thank you. Everything took about 2 hours (SBFing, downloading and installing update, reinstalling apps, etc), and I have the newest Kernel version from the OTA update, and GummyJar 2.5 back on.

I had a bit of trouble SBFing, it kept failing for some reason, but I found a fix via googling around the various Droid forums.

Thank you again, you've been extremely helpful.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chogardjr:
I would switch to RA-evo-v1.8.0 and try that one. If that doesn't work then you could make a nandroid and then flash the FORMAT_ALL.zip file to make sure there wasn't something that didn't get wiped correctly. It will erase all info including some that recoveries don't offer. It is safe to use and does not touch your sd card. It was something I got from AmonRA.

All other big carriers for the U.S got or is going to get a second galaxys phone but there is no news on one for sprint. Verizon=continuum. T-mobile=nexus s. AT&T=infuse. What about sprint?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian2220:
i think sprint has something else up its sleeve besides the evo shift :p
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InfDaMarvel:
I doubt it, sprints slow to the punch when it comes to nw phones.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtuansdiamm:
I thought so too.so does any body have any rumors? This is probably the reason the galaxy s phones have such have bad support, they were prototypes of the real deal maybe I think kinda probably most likely. But since specs of the infuse have already come out I'm expecting the epic 2(I'm calling it that until a confirmed name us found) to have way better specs
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muyoso:
It would be dumb to launch another Samsung hummingbird phone at this point. Tegra 2 is clearly where the future is in Android phones and tablets, and the 40 million amazing super phones being unveiled at CES right now are evidence of this.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtuansdiamm:
Well they're launching the infuse aren't they
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smark72:
It seems like all the awesome high powered phones are going to at&t and verizon. What the hell? Why is sprint so slow with the new phones? I mean the EVO shift 4g, come on. Piece of crap. They seem to be more geared on releasing mid grade crap than getting some high end stuff out there. I just looked over engadget about some of the phones at CES and didn't see anything new being released from sprint. Did I miss anything? Did anyone else see any new high end phones coming to sprint?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gTen:
isnt mezmerize the usc varient of the galaxy S aka a fascinate renamed..

to be fair Verizon will have 3 galaxy s phones...Fascinate, Continuum, the 4g phone

and knowing sprint they wont release another top tier phone after the shift for at least 3 month >.>

Oh my bad I just keep on getting the names mixed up. Nice catch
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aneirin:
This is just a continuation of Google working with different hardware manufacturers with each version of Android. HTC/Qualcom snapdragon with Nexus One and Froyo, Samsung hummingbird with Nexus S and Gingerbread, and now NVidia Tegra 2 with Honeycomb. The dual-core hummingbird can easily go toe to toe with the Tegra 2. It just wasn't Google's partner for this current iteration of android development.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muyoso:
Yea, I dont know what Orion is capable of, but I am pretty damn sure that Tegra 2 is awesome as hell from what I have seen.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gTen:
That only shows that the Tab will be using the Tegra 2...for the cellphone they may go with Orion for it..

If I remember correctly the Orion is 32nm..while Tegra 2 is 40nm..so the Orion should be more energy efficient then and a better choice for cellphones...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muyoso:
If the Blackberry Playbook is using the Orion, then I am impressed. There is no indication that it IS using the Orion, but it could be. Until I see an Orion processor do what a Tegra 2 can do, I will be rooting for the Tegra 2 to come to Sprint.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gTen:
The Orion has an ARM Mali GPU is the rumor..

According to Samsung it dishes out 267Mtri/s & 1.6Gpix/s..which seems pretty good to me :/
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sauron0101:
We're gonna need benchmarks of real world applications like games to verify this. Triangles and gigapixels is not representative often real world performance.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gTen:
We don't even have a real world performance of the Tegra 2 chip..so far only real performance we got was on 1 core and we don't even know if it was optimized or not or anything for the matter...while it may not be an indication that the Orion is better then the Tegra 2..its a good enough indication to say its at least on par...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sauron0101:
On the contrary:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4054/first-look-viewsonic-gtablet-and-tegra-2-performance-preview/2

GPU performance is not that impressive compared to the Hummingbird, but CPU is.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gTen:
The CPU scores are expected because its a Cortex A9..any Cortex A9 will always be better then a Cortex A8..still those scores are not optimizing the Hummingbird 100% and probably not optimizing the Tegra 2 either..and is using a single core..

Each CPU in the Tegra 2 also has its own GPU so you can estimate 1.6-2x the scores its getting now minimum

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InfDaMarvel:
Whats wrong with the Evo Shift? I assumed it was just a variant of the Desire Z, G2?

Which Id like to mention, while clocked at a lower speed than the Evo(If not faster), is actually as fast as the evo. Meaning you can overclock it just as well.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
You assumed correct on the first point, but you're a bit wrong on the second. I was having the Evo VS Evo Shift conversation and decided to look into the dev section of the g2/desire and here is what I found:

1.8GHz Kernel

That is a Kernel for the g2 which overclocks it to 1.8GHz. Having spoke with Shabbypenguin about this particular kernel it seems the only real downside is that your phone does get hot. Nothing melts, nothing fries, it just gets hot. Also, from speaking with Evo owners the highest overclock speed they've been able to maintain was 1.2GHz. For all those who think the shift sucks, I was wondering what the highest stable overclock kernel we'd gotten for the epic?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gTen:
We were able to get 1.6ghz and some phones are capable of probably going up to 2.0ghz..BUT it was noticed that increasing the mhz was also causing a timing issue after further investigation (so the kernel needs to be rewritten)..I asked in the g2 thread whether or not they have any timing issues or not and no response yet :/

So far Highest Galaxy S without timing issue is 1.4ghz..
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeisRisen:
We never achieved a true 1.4 on the epic much less 1.6.w
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenvan19:
Ah thank you! I hope you didn't think my question was rhetorical as I actually did not know. As to the question you posed in the thread, Shabbypenguin didn't mention any timing issues to me just that it got pretty hot.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gTen:
Not on the Epic no..but TeamWiskey supposedly has a kernel for the Vibrant called Destroyer Of Worlds that has :/

Well boils down to whether he realized it or not...I'm not saying it is the case and that there are timing issues..but its also possible that they also have the same issue and just didn't realize it yet...hence I asked in the thread, hopefully he will respond to clarify.

Seeing as Honeycomb is for tablets only and not for phones, what're the chances well actually see it?

I really don't think you'd be able to sue them, since the product they sold you was 2.2 as they advertised.

some other android devices never have had official updates.
[Galaxy Tab General] knightnz:
Um, it's called the "Galaxy Tab", pretty sure Samsung perceive it as a tablet, and the fact that it's a 7" "phone" relegates it to Tablet status at any rate.
[Galaxy Tab General] knightnz:
Does it say on the box or on their website "upgrades to Gingerbread and Honeycomb to come soon!"? No? Then stop whining.

Also, good luck trying to sue a Korean company from Italy because they didn't perform to your expectations regardless of the fact they've promised nothing and the device works perfectly well as it stands and performs as advertised.
