i aint buyin it

It could but most likely isnt true but who knows maybe big red will actually release something before it is due out

 

[Paycer]

We should have it early one way or another, regardless of whether or not this is true.

If this is just a leaked version, it won't be touching my phone...not after us Eris leakers got shafted by Verizon who skimped out on giving us the official OTA.

Froyo for Droid X leaked

I don't think its a hoax. P3Droid is an established developer. He has done a ton of good stuff on the droid 1

Here is the official timeline for releases, though Droidx is stated for later this summer. Some of the Motorola Mods stated September is what they consider late summer. I am sure most of you have seen this already though.

Looks legit. Pretty cool. Hopefully the process for applying this won't require a million lines of code.

LOL, I know this... Some of the people on the Motorola forums fail to understand that concept though, they think it should be out now.

This image is photoshop job, notice how the system information is a lot clearer than the rest of the information.

I am really sorry....buth I have no faith here.

It looks like a huge push to get "donations". It is also from the same source that started a thread there on 7/27/10 about the DX having 2.2.

I see what you're talking about and I went ahead and checked it under Photoshop CS5, as well as looked at other System Information screen shots for the DX.

You're correct about the actual information under, "System," being sharper and clearer than the rest of the text, but I do not believe that it is photoshopped. This is simply how the information is displayed. The information section's title is in bold and the actual information following the title is not. This is why the already blurry picture in the link you quoted appears photoshopped.

Take this image for example. It is from PocketNow and I did a simple Google Images search to find it.:

As you can see, "System," "Device," and, "CPU," are all in bold and appear to be almost out of focus. The actual information following the information title type is not bold, so it appears to be clearer.

Thoughts?

EDIT: Just realized that the image may not have originated from PocketNow, but that's where the image is linked at. Sorry.

I don't see it. Looks legit to me.

The upper part of the screen is better focused than the bottom and over exposed (like the bold titles that Paycer mentioned).

You will all have your answer tomorrow at 9am est. That's when the guy is promising to deliver.

Froyo for the X have Fun!! http://bit.ly/bCOjM9


Will be uploading to secondary servers ASAP (Momentarily)


---------------------------------------------------



PRIVATE SERVER DOWNLOAD:

Update.zip

Please Read Directions Before Proceeding:

Hello, we know that other sites will post this thread on their site. We respectfully request that you link back here, if you do not honor that request we would ask that you include both posts 1 and 2 and a linkback. BUT PLEASE DO NOT JUST POST LINKS TO DOWNLOADS OR MIRRORS

IMPORTANT:

Step 1:
This is a leaked ota upgrade in the update.zip format. This is not a ROM or a port. This will upgrade both your baseband and your system. You will not need to wipe date.

1. The only way this update will work for you is if your phone is back to stock (you MUST be rooted already if you want to be rooted after the upgrade).
2. If you have themed your phone you need to convert it back to stock
3. If you have removed bloatware you must put it all back.

Step 2
Do you want to be rooted?

1) If no skip to next step.
2) If yes and already rooted skip to next step.
3) If not go here and follow these direction. -----> how to root - thanks to Birdman/rootzwiki


STOP: YOU MUST VERIFY THAT YOUR SU IS LOCATED IN THE XBIN NOT THE BIN
I suggest using Root Explorer as it is the easiest was to do it: Get it in the MarketPlace

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

Step 3
So have you gotten back to stock:

If Yes proceed to step 3,
if No then proceed below.

If you don't know which files you need or which ones to put back, you can use the sbf to put your phone back in a stock state. You can go here to get details of how to return to stock via sbf file. ------> Droid SBF

After you return your phone to its stock state go to step 3.

Step 4

Now we need to download froyo for the Droid

Place the file you have downloaded on the root of your sdcard.

Step 5

Reboot your phone in recovery mode:

1) Hold down the home button and the power button.

2) When the triangle with the android appears press the search button (far right button)

3) Select apply sdcard:update.zip

4) sit back and wait (5 - 10 minutes)

5) restart your device.


Your phone will now be running 2.2.6 (Froyo Rooted)

Thanks goes out to:
