Well that was a pain in the ass. The update wouldn’t play nice with my SBF flash back to 2.2. I tried redownloading a couple of times and nothing worked until I reloaded maderstcock340, now it’s loading. ---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 AM ---------- Blah. The damn thing is booting into the boot loader now. I think one of the 3 finger salutes fixes this but I can’t remember… ---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ---------- There we go, reflashed the SBF, then installed the gingerbread update and it booted. ---

If you’re on stock 340 then you’re good to go. If you’re waiting for the rooted release then you’ll need to be rooted to install it anyway. Team black hat is supposed to have the rooted deal out late tonight. They say it’s a 3 part deal that has to all be done at one time from clockwork recovery. If you don’t do all three in the same recovery session then you’ll have to SBF back to stock and try again. You’ll have to use the Droid 2 bootstrap. Not the droid x bootstrap. ---

I’m on the DX, but waiting for the Fabulous - Apex rom to be leak supported. There is a leaked theme that works but it’s kinda meh ATM I nuked my DX on Sunday, and when my replacement came in I remembered how ghey the stock Android software was. ---

honestly 90% of the people that root will see no real benefit from rooting, not to be an ass but you are probably one of them. there are very few things you can do with root that you cant without, the ability to flash roms would probably be the big thing IMO but i have not found a rom that I cannot live without and does not have problems that piss me off to no end [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-android-thread/75430.md?page=75) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/official-android-thread/75430.md?page=77)
