Droid X manual update to leaked 2.2

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.

MyDroidWorld released their Dorid 2.2RC … All rejoice!

If you haven’t yet … Go and download the rom.  Its the release candidate that their source has been showing on their site @ MyDroidWorld.com.  Its 75MB and available in nandroid backup.  One disclaimer is that WiFi doesn’t work.  They generated a new kernel.  Seems the ROM’s kernel was where Motorola would track who was the leaker of this delicious Droid froyo.
