Root Beginners help with Gingerbread

[jmoney1353]

Alright guys, I got my Droid X a couple of months ago and rooted almost immediately with help from RoOoLeR and people on this forum but I haven't flashed a ROM yet. I see that it is possible to get gingerbread now and I would love to update to it. I have made a Nandroid backup and have all my apps backed up through Titanium. What do I do next?

I appreciate all the help with this beginner question.

All i did was google search gingerbread droid x. Find the ine that has root already. Dl it and place it on the root of your sdcard. Then use bootstrap to get into recovery and install zip fr sdcard, pick zip etc. You should wipe data and cache, atleast i did. There should be a thread on gb, i would read up a lil first.

I have the leaked gb and love it.

Good luck

I hated the stock launcher for froyo but I love the stock launcher with GB.

Here are some screen shots

will my apps still be backed up through titanium or will i need to download them all again?

never mind i see now that I can just use Titanium backup... stupid question

It worked for me the first time but after 24 hours ish my phone locked up. I sbf'ed back to froyo and tried again. Second time i download all my apps without titanium. I don't know why my phone locked up tho but its working great now.

Oh, one more thing that is different is i did not deodex this time.

 

[jmoney1353]

alright i'll probably just start from scratch with gingerbread and re download all my apps without TB

Im sure if you have questions someome with more experience than i will chime in.
