Root New Official Gingerbread 4.5.602 for Droid X

colchiro · Aug 14, 2011

Seems a little drastic to sbf/wipe data just to get a little GB update.

I'm not interested in formatting data.

I wonder if a rooted/deodexed version is in the works that can upgrade 596 to 602.

OR... I wonder if you can create a nandroid, sbf, update to 602 and in recovery restore just the 596 data to the new 602?

The only way it seems to work is to SBF and start over. The directions posted by TBH said you could flash both the .340 all in one installer and then this new all in one installer before leaving clockwork. I couldnt get that method to work and neither could many others so SBFing seems to be the only way to go for now.

Thanks

4) One of the widely reported issues is still there. The camera defaults to widescreen instead of the setting of which you have left it.

Wow, if this is the final, then that's both stunning and inexcusable.

They have known about it and have confirmed it sometime ago based on the post I made on the motorola forum.

There's no way it could be that difficult to fix.

Tried to flash the radio zip but gave an error, no go........

Agree 100%. I am no Android expert but I can't imagine why this still isn't fixed.

P3Droid said on twitter that you can recover the data from 596 to 602. I am SBFed out for tonight but I will try it tomorrow and see if it works. As far as getting it deodexed a vaguely remember Bo saying he would have a zip to deodex this build by tomorrow afternoon. :eek:

I'm starting to get really annoyed with this. I've SBF'd a number of times, redownloaded the damn zip twice (came up as the same file size both times) and I still get this in the D2 Bootstrap ""E:Can't open /sdcard/602-0dexed-AIO.zip (bad) Installation aborted.", Ugh.

What is the file size?

186,163 KB (181mb), I'm assuming that's wrong otherwise this would work fine. I wish P3 would post up some links. D:

1. Download a MD5 generator from market and check the zip. Should be: 312b5...4e5809 (file size is 181.80MB (190,630,036 bytes) per Root Explorer.
2. SBF back to .340
3. Hold down "Home" and wipe data on first boot.
4. Go to "About Phone" and verify that you're on .07p baseband.
5. Install D2 bootstrap and z4root (Enable usb debugging)
6. Reboot (z4root never runs without a reboot)
7. Run z4root (for permanent root).
8. After z4root reboots, run D2 bootstrap
9. Install the AIO via CWR

Those are the exact steps I followed. GL

That's the same file size I have and it works for me. Are you moving the file from the TBH folder?

I've tried both leaving it there and moving it to the root of the sdcard.

Did you delete the old files before you tried a new download? I had a bad download the first time I tried and when I went to download again it didn't write over the old file.

Yes I did, but I don't think it matters if the file size is matching up correctly..

Will try this, but if this fails I am so done with this damn thing. Six is my limit on SBFing for one night.

Metfanant · Aug 15, 2011

Hopefully tomorrow ill get a chance to get this flashed...my phone has gotten progressively better with each newer version of Gingerbread...so im pretty excited for this one...

cheesebeard · Aug 15, 2011

Still not working, I'm starting to wonder if my SD card has gone bad.
EDIT: Nope, installing 596 just fine. I think I'm gonna stay on the rooted 596 for awhile, so done with this crap for now.

MalikBear · Aug 15, 2011

Got this up and running last night, waking up this morning I realized how much I loved DSX. I'll try it for a few days tho.

colchiro · Aug 15, 2011

Is the release code or just a leak?

It's not drastic if you are plagued with randomly losing all connectivity.

cheesebeard · Aug 15, 2011

Man this is weird, I woke up and figured I'd give this one more try. Did things exactly the same as last night, only today it installed fine. Strange, but at least it's installed fine now!

Greavous · Aug 15, 2011

I flashed the radio update last night without any problem. Plugged in the phone for a good charge when I crashed out. Woke up early (4am) and as of 10:30am my extended battery is down to 56%. Oh dear....

I'm not even running this, and I don't plan to either. I'm happy with Liquid 2.6 right now, and don't plan on ever going back to blur. In over a year I used the camcorder (720p) maybe once or twice and I never once used HDMI so I don't miss those features.

I'm sure TBH or someone else will release a deodexer soon enough.

+1 to this.

Can anyone confirm this contains the bug fixed Moto is soak testing soon?

Coolguy71261 · Aug 15, 2011

Updated radio cannot send messages now, ideas? I'll sbf if needed
