Soo I just got a Droid X and I want to load up Froyo. I downloaded the update.zip from here "intomobile.com/2010/08/22/leaked-droid-x-android-2-2-rom-prompts-a-cease-desist-from-motorola/".
I am a developer so I am not so worried about the technical stuff, but I want to do this safely so I have come to the experts.
Here are my questions / concerns that hopefully someone can alleviate for me.
1) What steps should I take first in going to 2.2?
2) Should I root my phone before running this update?
3) Will I be able to get the OTA update if I do this? unkown?
4) What can go wrong?
5) If something does go wrong how hard is it to restore to 2.1 and what would give me a chance of bricking my phone.
I have moded a wii and my old bb storm so I am vaguely familiar with some of these methods, just want to do things properly. Thank you to anyone that can respond to any of these.
