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.

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

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.

Dude you need to read at least a little...
Assuming you are already rooted and all:
Just get a Webtop from the Fruit Cakes and flash it through RomRacer's Recovery.
It's a lengthy flash so go grab some munchies

Edit I am num I thought this was in the dev forum sorry.
Thanks! Ill give this a shot... Apologize for not searching more thoroughly.
Did you try the dx2BSR.apk?
No, dont know anything about that .apk lol
I pasted the files and set the permissions appropriately and powered off then plugged in to wall and CWR in. Since I dont know of any roms I just did a backup and rebooted.
Are you 235 or 236?
oh sorry... 2.3.6
Need 235 for wifi on our 235 roms. Most roms don't do a kernel check. Do my Miui nandroid of Ace's rom. One guy did it but no wifi . You could hack in the needed 236 sys apk but if the problem is in system/framework forget it.
Do Eclipse you would get more help hacking the wifi.
What sort of hack? Im kinda reluctant to take many chances being this is a work phone. If it was mine I could take it back to CSpire as I bricked a Milestone X a few months back and had no problems with a warranty exchange
Do eclipse you can just nand back. Some in that thread may come up w/ a fix. IDNK. IT would be trial & error for me . I'm no Dev.
Thanks for you prompt replies and help...
Just wanting to be 100% sure... So I can flash Eclipse 2.1 from where I stand now or I need to restore to your MUI nand first then Eclipse?
Post in their thread. Just one at a time. Eclipse is 235. While Miui is 234. When eclipse was 234 a mx2'er did it on 235 and all was good but wifi.
BE SURE and flash ReRecovery b4 you leave cwr if you wipe data or flash a rom as you have no sbf . Read all my thread.
Thanks again for your help, It was easy to just follow steps with the desire but motorola has crap so locked down, its made me a bit more cautious and active these last couple days lol. Ill pay more attention courteously with the posts
EDIT: Oh so now with cwm loaded all I have to do now is flash the rerecovery zip instead of copying & pasting and setting permissions? Thats what I want sure about earlier.
The zip does the same as you did (or the apk) but from cwr. Do you have a sbf? You are really putting RR to the test (relying on it) if you don't.
No sbf. Dunno where to get one.
Sent from my Milestone X2 using xda premium
So be sure to do the BU, data wipe, Flash RR and restore testing in the mx2 section.

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

Straight from nitro in another thread. Sbf, take ota, root via motofail, install bsr and flash eclipse then profit. So much easier than the previous method.

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:

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.
