Yep. It is apparently the only way right now.

Dang! Okay so just follow all those instructions... I know its early but of the FEW roms available, do you guys like eclipse the best??
seems like a lot of work lolol...
You do not have to go back to froyo. As a matter of speaking, it will not work if you go all the way back to froyo because you still need a gb kernel.
Never mind. I'm wrong for not reading. I didn't realize that you were on stock gb. With stock gb, yes you need to go back.
Once you are on rooted GB, you can use the bootstrap recovery to flash any of the custom roms available for GB without going back to froyo every time. The real chore is getting rooted.

Sweet so we can always switch roms! nice, dang, I wish I could have someone root my phone lol
Okay, so here is basically what you need to do.
1. sbf back to froyo
2. Go find the link to p3droid's pre-rooted gb update.
3. Install bootstrap for your phone.
4. Find your rom that's right for you.
5. Use bootstrap.
6. ???
7. Profit!
Hope this helps
Sent with pre-rooted gb, and swype 3.0 both of which are awesome and sexy.

What do you mean by bootstrap. When I first rooted I had an app that let me boot into recovery. Is that bootstrap? If so once i updated to p3's gb I don't see that app anymore. This is probably a really lame issue, but some clarification would be greatly appreciated!
Once on p3's GB, reinstall the bootstrap recovery app, and use it to flash the eclipse rom.

What he said. reinstall the system recovery apk.
I don't know if you can do it on a mac, because I don't have one, but I'm almost positive that android sdk works on mac, so I want to day that you probably can. In addition, I wanted to post a link to a helpful thread on sbf to froyo: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193818

Now, my next question. I know v2 of eclipse is coming out anytime now, should I wait til v2 or is it easy to dwnld v1 and upgrade to v2?

Helo guys, I used to own a Samsung Galaxy S, and last week I got the Droid X2 from Verizon. So now I'm seeing new terms being used like sbf, debloat, freeze, etc...
My DX2 is root and I also have the V6 Supercharger, and I still can't get the GB update.
I believe many users on this forum have the same case as mine, so can anyone give us steps to follow in order to get the update.
Thank you so much
sbf back to stock using rsd.
download the gb update, flash in recovery

I came from a similar situation. I just got the x2 as a replacement for my fascinate due to repetitive missed call issues. I updated to Gingerbread today using the tips on this forum & the file posted to the mediafire link. The first thing you'll need to do for this update to work is undue all the non-stock modifications you've done.
Unsupercharge
Unfreeze or replace any stock apps you may have uninstalled. This is where the sbf comes in, it's the stock image that was loaded when it left the factory.
Unroot, might not be necessary but its better safe than sorry. Especially since this update is unrootable atm.
Rename the downloaded file update.zip & put it in the root of your sdcard-ext.
Flash from the stock recovery & you should be good.
Whatever other info you need, search these threads-its in there somewhere.

The SBF does infact restore you to stock 2.2.2
It should also be the first thing you do when you get the phone (before rooting etc) It blows my mind that people would mess with their device without doing an SBF at least once.
The SBF will usually require you to battery pull at the end, go to stock Android recovery and wipe data and cache. (unless you did that before running the SBF)
On Vista and Windows 7 make sure you right click RSDlite and choose to "run as admin"
Everyone who did the OTA or the 2.3 update from here at XDA and wants p3droids rooted update is going to have to SBF momentarily. We should get rooted 2.3 this afternoon according to p3's twitter
I unrooted my phone and uninstalled the Supercharger, I sbf'd back to stock Froyo successfully, and still I can't get the update. What else should I do?

Just to be clear.... He should eventually get an OTA update if he waits long enough. But he won't be able to root it. So follow the link above, and do those steps to install the rooted version of the update from 3Pdroid.

For starters, you'll need to sbf to 2.3.4 before thinking about flashing liberty. Look in DX2 development for the thread, I can't link you from here.
Assuming all that works out you'll want to:
Root your device using Pete's Root Tools
Install bootstrap recovery
Put the Liberty ROM on your external sd card
Boot into recovery
Wipe Dalvik, Cache, and data
Scroll down to "install zip from SD card" the hit the liberty file
Let it install, go back to the main screen, reboot and bam, you have liberty.
That is a rather general outline. I can provide more details in bursts if you need them.

Did you sbf and take the latest OTA? The current version of the Eclipse will function only on that version of gingerbread.
yes but ill try it again just to back track my steps. I have factory reset had to sbf after Miui and before. I always sbf and wipe no matter what I do I am kind of OCD and have to start new Ill give it a go right now.
I have also tried new SD cards as well. I have been messing with dev. for a while so I know a lot about it I also read everything and more before I do anything (OCD) Been working on my A100 and its been easy and was easy flashing Miui dont know what I missed

If you are trying to flash Eclipse 2.2.1, you must be on the OTA 2.3.5 (418) build. Also, you have to root 2.3.4 and backup root using Voodoo before updating to 2.3.5.
and remove voodoo's su backup, before flashing eclipse

Latest official is 418. Latest eclipse won't work with 412. That could be the problem.

I'll remove voodoo but I DL Eclipse that was with the 412 file in the same thread unless I did not see It right. I tried to flash this a week ago and had to stop messing w/it I was editing band pics in PS & LR so I just now picked it up again. I DL the Blur version 412 should I kick that to the curb and DL 418? I was under the impression that the GBP7v0.5 would work with 2.3.5 412 though if so that would not flash as well

Correct me if I am wrong Eclipse did work with that version at one time or no? I saw Eclipse 3.0 but have not read the forum yet and I have been working on my Acer tab more. When I was on 2.3.4 I had no issues with Miui I had to sbf to 2.3.4 from OTA Leak 2.3.5 b/c I was not to fond of that rom at that time I will flash it at another time. I really dig the Eclipse Rom so if I need to start ov and it looks that way then I will have to read up on everything so I know what I am doing and not half assing it. I hate doing that.

I saw the 3.0 version for the Bionic and I have 418 DL now I am going to read some and flash the 418 and try Eclipse then if all is good take care of voodoo and hope it works. However I have some reading to do before hand. I am sure if it foes not go right I'll complain about it even if it is an operator error I'll still have to blame my DX2 for any errors. I think thats how it works

You don't even need voodoo anymore. Just take ota and root using motofail.

LaserChicken, those steps are incorrect!!
In order to flash eclipse 2.2.1 just do this...
-SBF to 2.3.4
-Root using Petes 1 click method
-Download VooDoo OTA Rootkeeper from play store
-Backup root & TEMP UNROOT (do not delete backup yet!!!!!!! )
-Settings>About Phone>Software Update> DOWNLOAD 2.3.5 OTA
*After downloading 2.3.5 from system settings the phone will reboot to stock recovery and install 2.3.5 kernel.*
-Reboot
-Open VooDoo, restore root
-NOW DELETE SU BACKUP FROM VOODOO
-Once you restore root & delete the backup < IMPORTANT! from voodoo you should be able to flash eclipse from BSR

Hi, my name is Travis, I've been a verizon slave since 2009 with the bb storm. Moved to a droid then x and x2. I'm currently on an incredible 2 and I hate it. Through much push and pull, I got to keep my service on the incredible and also keep an x2 along with a free extended battery.
I rooted 2.3.5 on the x2 and now looking into roms. My software learning curve isn't steep so I thought I'd send a shout out to the devs and members here. Looking into finding a great rom for the x2 withing the next few day.
Oh yeah, I'm leaving in a month for basic in the AF, going into cyber surety(basically legal hacking) and looking forward to it.
Thanks for reading, I'll be around!
Welcome. Every one here is awesome and will help if you need it.
Most all x2 roms are built on 2.3.4
Eciplse is on 2.3.5 though, and is a very good, stable rom.
If you want more excitement than try some of the ics, cm9 based roms. Just know that they are buggy and being worked on. Aokp, paranoid android, and of course cm9.
Cm7 is much more stable then th ics builds and could easily work as a Daily driver.
Good Luck.

I was thinking about the eclipse rom, It looks really nice. It will take a bit. I'm still reading and this forum is huge. I haven't found the "how to" thread yet on roms. Sure I'll find it. Thanks for the warm welcome.
I would check out the Cm7 rom thread. It has some good links to the guides you want as far as sbf, root, nandroid backup and bsr(aka cwm recovery).
Eclipse won't let you down.
If there is anything I can help you with, then don't hesitate to pm me.

Welcome aboard sir, and as an AF vet good luck with your service and thank you for stepping up.
As for roms you will find much more action happening with the 2.3.4 build as others have already mentioned. CM7 & 9, PA, AOKP are all based on 2.3.4.
You will absolutely want to find the "How to SBF" thread and get setup for doing an SBF. To my knowledge no dx2 has ever been "hard bricked" but "soft bricking" can and does happen which means SBF is your salvation as of course is nandroid backup. And my last piece of advice would be to make a nandroid backup of 2.3.4 Stock/Rooted, particularity if you are a"flashaholic" as some of us are on here...lol
Anyway welcome to the friendliest forum on XDA. :beer:

+1 for eclipse since it is the most stable and sounds like you wont have much time for figuring out any bugs that may occur on the ICS based Roms since you will be serving our country lol. Good luck, and thanks.

I like cm7 for the customizations, I have used eclipse for awhile and it's fantastic as well but i always find myself floating back to cm7. Just curious, there seems to be great roms for the dinc2, what about it did you not like?

First off...welcome! And now on to your question.
After rooting, protecting root with voodoo, and temp unrooting:
Just take the OTA update to 2.3.5 by going to System Updates in Settings-About Phone. Then restore root using voodoo and delete backup.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
System update is the easiest way but to answer your question yes you can just use rsd to get on 2.3.5 b418 because 2.3.5 is now rootable. You don't have to do the long method via voodoo ota rootkeeper any more.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda app-developers app
Wow I feel like I've been struggling for nothing. I was already on a rooted version of 235
I also want to ask about the eclipse pack, it should be an unzipped file on my sd card correct? I'm reading around and I see "zipped" and "unzipped." This is my first rom so I need to be sure.
Thanks again.

If you have already SBFed and are going to do it that way then yes. Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317707 for any future questions about SBFing or just ask. If you are already on 2.3.5 then there is no need to sbf because you can just root 2.3.5 now.

Wow I feel like I've been struggling for nothing. I was already on a rooted version of 235
I also want to ask about the eclipse pack, it should be an unzipped file on my sd card correct? I'm reading around and I see "zipped" and "unzipped." This is my first rom so I need to be sure.
Thanks again.

All flashable roms should be a. Zip file on your sd card. Don't unzip the rom file.

Yup just leave it zipped and placed on sd card not in a folder. Boot into system recovery and "install zip from sd card."
Thanks, going to try this out!
Grrr. I'm getting
E:signature veridication failed
Installation aborted
WAIT WAIT, don't tell me. I can figure it out. I'll post back soon
Thanks
