GrandMasterB,

My bootloader is 30.03. How will that affect me?

 

[droidSPARX]

GMB

@GMB

I'm all updated now.........my bootloader still says 30.03 though, I thought it was supposed to change to 30.04?

Am I missing something?

Why should he sbf rather than update.zip?

just gonna fully charge my phone

I'm in the same boat, let me know how it goes!

GrandMasterB,

I know I'm not GMB, but I can tell you that 30.03 and up is good to go for update.

 

[MikeAce00]

I downloaded it, but I'm drunk (figgen' Jamaican rum)...I'll figure out this confusing mess later. For now I stay with Froyo OTA, ApeX, and NexTheme.

Good call on waiting- Drinking and Flashing has been known to cause problems

 

[GrandMasterB]

GrandMasterB,

My bootloader is 30.03. How will that affect me?

Not at all. That is the 2.2OTA Bootloader and you are good to go! 30.03 or 30.04 are fine.

@GMB

Yes, the SBF does not update the bootloader. If you want to update the bootloader you need to run the update.zip. I don't see any reason to at this time however.

Why should he sbf rather than update.zip?

Personal preference I suppose. I SBF between Roms almost daily. I just prefer it. I am lazy and I like to click the button and just let it go

Just in case you guys weren't aware TBH released the update.zip on 11-20 and there were many people who didn't follow the directions properly and it resulted in bricks with no possible fix. As the numbers of bricked devices became higher and higher TBH continued to try to find a solution. This leak that we are lucky enough to have today is that solution. It wasn't originally intended to be released but this seemed to be the only way to recover these bricked devices.

If you flash the update.zip be extra sure you follow the directions properly or you may end up with an error-ed boot loader. Luckily we now have the full SBF to recover if it happens but you still need to be careful and follow the directions closely just to err on the side of caution.

GrandMasterB and Steven58,

You guys rock! Thanks for the time you guys put in here!

Any chance of having a problem upgrading to the next OTA if we go ahead with this leak? I know the last leaks didn't change the bootloader so we were safe, but can they somehow make it so that anyone who is on this updated bootloader can't get the new OTA (if it's an even newer bootloader?)

 

[MikeAce00]

I am still on 30.01. How are you folks on 30.03 or higher? What did I miss?? I upgraded from the full sbf from rootwikis to get on 2.3.15. Any suggestions?

Like you I never installed the OTA. I updated to 2.2 with the Full 2.2 SBF but my bootloader didn't update. I installed 2.2.1 using this thread last weak.
http://androidforums.com/droid-x-al...w-leak-tbh-android-2-2-1-build-2-3-320-a.html

This updated my bootloader from 30.01 to 30.04. Install was butter (i did factory reset, wipe data and cache to be safe)

Now running Apex 1.2.1. Downloaded the new 2.2.1 FULL SBF just to have in case its ever needed.

What program are you using to root your phone? I just tried superoneclick and doroot and neither worked. Now it can't detect the phone. I am trying resetting the phone again.

 

[MikeAce00]

Z4Root in the market! Super easy

GrandMasterB and Steven58,

You guys rock! Thanks for the time you guys put in here!

GMB deserves all the credit. But thanks!

YES. As far as I know this may prevent you from being able to take the next OTA. We don't really know for sure yet but it stopped the people that updated to the 2.2 leak from getting the official 2.2OTA. Hopefully when that time comes TBH will have a solution. I am counting on it anyways!

Use Z4Root. Its not in the market anymore but our Friend Steven58 has it

[Steven58]

I used z4Root. It just kept working the first time through and wouldn't reload, so I shut down, started up the phone again and z4 worked like a charm.

For some reason, the second time seems to be the charm.

Thanks for the link..........got it running Fission 2.2.2 now

 

[adrianl623]

RSD and Windows 7 64 bit was such a pain in the ass but I finally got it.

 

[DoubleEagle]

Ok I downloaded the full sbf and have my rsdlite 4.8. right now I'm running stock froyo 2.2 and apex 1.0.2.2. What is the easiest way to gget the new 2.2.1? do I download a rom for 2.2.1 and that will install it or do I have to use rsdlite to install 2.2.1?

What is your bootloader? Should be 30.03 if you are 2.2OTA
