Weeks ahead of their official Froyo launch, Droid X Android 2.2 leak has been spotted online. Droid X Forums has the leak up on their site available via .zip file by the way of mediafire and is ready rooted and non-rooted devices. Hit the link below to get started upgrading your Droid X now, if you dare. The directions are below after the jump.
Step 1:
This is a leaked ota upgrade in the update.zip format. This is not a ROM or a port. This will upgrade both your baseband and your system. You will not need to wipe date.
-
The only way this update will work for you is if your phone is back to stock (you MUST be rooted already if you want to be rooted after the upgrade).
-
If you have themed your phone you need to convert it back to stock
-
If you have removed bloatware you must put it all back.
Step 2
Do you want to be rooted?
1) If no skip to next step.
2) If yes and already rooted skip to next step.
3) If not go here and follow these direction. —–> how to root – thanks to Birdman/rootzwiki
STOP: YOU MUST VERIFY THAT YOUR SU IS LOCATED IN THE XBIN NOT THE BIN
I suggest using Root Explorer as it is the easiest was to do it: Get it in the MarketPlace
open rootexplorer
navigate to the /system/bin folder and hold down the su file, then select move
navigate to the /system/xbin folder and press the menu button (4 squares)
select edit and then paste
Step 3
So have you gotten back to stock:
If Yes proceed to step 3,
if No then proceed below.
If you don’t know which files you need or which ones to put back, you can use the sbf to put your phone back in a stock state. You can go here to get details of how to return to stock via sbf file. ——> Droid SBF
After you return your phone to its stock state go to step 3.
Step 4
