I'm on Fission 2.2.2. Can I install these, wiping data, and be on official? And then reroot and instal Fission 2.3?


UPDATE:

I installed them all, wiped data/cache, and did a factory reset then installed Fission 2.3.1 all in one reboot.

Don't.

I got stuck at bootloader. I SBFed, updated, rooted with z4, installed 2.3.1, then installed the Gingerbread theme. Worked like a charm.

Same thing here. You can't even go from .315 to .340, you have to first SBF the .320 full version, then the .340 System only until the full.340 SBF is out... Lame but worth it. Apex 1.3 rox!

I have went from 2.3.15 to .340 no problem.

I believe this is the suggested way since you will not get the updated kernel otherwise. If you move from .15 to .320 you will be stuck with the .340 kernel. Even if you SBF the .340 SBF, it is only a SYSTEM ONLY SBF. Which sucks, yet I'm still grateful for.

I was running ApeX - and all I did was load my CLEAN nandroid of 2.3.15 and pushed the OTA through the settings. I lost root so I'm trying to reroot it again. (Isn't everyone doing the Z4 root method now?) I'm trying to find that because it's not in the market, and if that doesn't work I'll do the D2 method.

My Kernal is the 2.6.32.9-gca645...blah.blah.blah one. And I am meaning not to use the Updater. If I should have yes just went back to my clean .315 then went the official OTA, but I didn't, and I don't want anyone else to do the same thing and get a bootloader error. But .320 is the same as .340 except for the system items, so it works all the same. And right now with .340 and apex 1.3 my phone is running Amazing! 1.3ghz seems so much faster than .315 and apex 1.0.2.2.

Welll then!@@
I forged ahead, did all of them and did a format system / mount system, installed .340 updater and then let it sit.
took about ...10 minutes to boot, BUT IT MADE IT!
and no app loss!! =D I couldnt be happier!!!!!!
Made me a little nervous sitting there spinning back and forth but it worked by golly!! WOOOT!
So - instead of wiping data, try formatting the system partition first

dang i was on .340 tried to apply the kernal update and got caught in a bootloop. trying to restore a backup now may have to sbf again :(


EDIT: ok i dont know how to explain this but when i tried my backup it worked. but the weird part is my phone is now on the newest kernal. may be worth a try if anyone else gets caught in a bootloop when trying one of the above files.

I updated to 2.3.40 with the system SBF in the TBH app. My kernel version starts with 2.6.32.9, but the rest after the "-" is different from the kernel version in this post. Are they the same kernels? Do I need to update?

I already replied to you on MDW but for anybody else here curious...

The system SBF only updates the SYSTEM and nothing else and that is the reason you still have an old kernel. The purpose of this thread is to give non OTA devices the option to update other components like the kernel.

So, I'm kinda interested here... I thought that one of the biggest problems facing the customization of the Droid X was that we had to boot to the kernel in order to launch Clockwork Recovery (i.e. the bootstrapper), thus making it impossible to update the kernel and therefore making real custom ROMs problematic.

So, while I understand that these are Motorola-supplied files and meet the signature requirements for, say, updating the bootloader, how is the kernel getting replaced while booted into Clockwork Recovery?
