Help Droid X. Model Version A854.. Update Problem. Really need help!

[Jon123Droid]

I have a very old droid X. around 2 years old now and i have gotten an iphone since then... I have changed service and no longer use verizon which is the service of the droid. Well used to be. I gave my son the phone to use as an ipod touch kind of thing. Almost like an android Ipod touch, i guess. I tried to update the phone for him and found out, it won't update. It say's cannot connect to the server.. I was wondering why this happens? I talked to a motorola person and they said it should be working with wifi, but i have tried everything to get it to work. Does anyone have any idea why the phone won't update. P.s. the phone is stuck on the Eclair version. So no google play market!

Hello Jon123Droid and welcome to Android Forums.

I think the reason why it wont update is because you're no longer with Verizon perhaps.

Sorry, I'm not a very techie person.. and thank you! Is There any way to upgrade it then or am I stuck with it?

You could root it and install a more up-to-date ROM.

 

[Jon123Droid]

is there any video/site with instructions on how to do all of this. This technical stuff is very confusing for me.

I believe there are stickies in the Droid X - Root forum that tell exactly how to do that.
