So it seems that there are a few that still want to know how to upgrade their Droid X to 2.2.  We’ve all seen the Motorola post attempting to discourage people from using the leaked version of 2.2. … No one cares.  There is always a way to upgrade … Sanctioned or not.

If you can’t wait for Motorola to drop the official 2.2 update (they’ve been wrong about update releases before) and you understand the risk you are taking … then proceed with the following:

** Not responsible if you break/brick your device or if your dog gets diarrhea**

• Download the gift that was released from mydroidworld.com here
• Copy the update.zip file to the root of your sdcard and shut down your Droidx.
• Restart your Droidx in the recovery console … Power+Home until you see the moto logo.
• Once in recovery, press your search button to bring up the recovery options.  Use volume to navigate the menu and the camera to confirm a selection.
• Select apply update.zip and have fun … the update.zip already has flash 10.1 included.

Oh boy!  Looks like Skype was updated recently to allow calls over WiFi.  Oh the joy!  The innovation!  The convenience!  The … wait wut?  This had the potential to be huge.  <Sigh>, now for the fail detail.

You still need to have a cellular signal just to login to Skype.  If you are in the basement of a 16 story building that doesn’t get reception, this update probably doesn’t do you any good … Even if you “has the WiFis” down there.  It still needs a cell signal to authenticate who your carrier is and your phone number.  You might be able to get away with running outside to authenticate then run back into the building … might … but I doubt it.

Second fail I noticed.  Even though you are calling through “the WiFis”, It’s still counted against your regular minutes according to your plan.  That awards the new and improved Skype android app for Verizon a “Double Failbow” in my book.  Full on double failbow all the way.
