Related video tutorial available at: http://tiny.cc/UpdateDroidXToFroyoVideo (1080p HD version still processing as of 12:56 GMT-7 but should be ready soon)



XP Users having ADB trouble, check out THIS post for a possible solution. ( HERE are drivers you need for XP. )





Part A: UPDATE FROM A CLEAN, UNROOTED PHONE (running 2.1).



(Run means type the command in quotes [but not the quotes] then press the Enter key)


  1. Download THIS ARCHIVE and expand it to a folder you can find (eg. c:\DroidXRoot_v2)

  2. Set up ADB (Step-by-step guide for Windows Vista/7 HERE. <-- USE THAT THREAD FOR ADB SUPPORT PLEASE.)

  3. On the phone: Home, Menu Button, Settings, Applications, Development: Make sure the "USB debugging" option is enabled/checked.

  4. Status bar, USB connection: Make sure "PC Mode" is selected.

  5. Open a command prompt (Windows: Start, Run, "cmd", OK; Linux: Terminal)

  6. Run "adb devices". If you don't see your device listed under "List of devices attached", return to step 2 and follow the link to setup ADB (use that topic for support) and return here when "adb devices" lists your X.

  7. Run "CD c:\DroidXRoot" (or where ever you expanded the archive)

  8. Run "adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk"

  9. Run "adb push su /sdcard/su"

  10. Run "adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox"

  11. Run "adb push exploid /sqlite_stmt_journals/exploid"

  12. Run "adb shell"

  13. Run "cd sqlite_stmt_journals"

  14. Run "chmod 755 exploid"

  15. On your phone, navigate to a screen where you can switch wifi/bluetooth on/off easily (settings, or a home screen with a widget)

  16. IMMEDIATELY after executing the next step, toggle wifi or bluetooth off and back on

  17. Run "./exploid" and follow directions on screen. Once this completes you'll be back at a shell prompt.

  18. Run "rootshell". You'll be prompted for a password.

  19. Type in password "secretlol" and press Enter then you are root! (You'll know because your prompt will now be a "#" instead of "$")

  20. Run "cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk"

  21. Run "cp /sdcard/su /system/xbin/su"

  22. Run "cp /sdcard/busybox /system/xbin/busybox"

  23. Run "chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su"

  24. Run "chmod 4755 /system/xbin/busybox"

  25. Run "rm /system/bin/rootshell"

  26. Run "exit" to drop from root to a non-root user shell (on phone still)

  27. Run "exit" to drop back to your machine command prompt (instead of phone)






Part B: UPDATE FROM A ROOTED PHONE (running 2.1):



If you have Koush's recovery installed, follow these steps BEFORE attempting to update to 2.2:


  1. UNINSTALL the Recovery APK in Settings, Applications

  2. Reboot

  3. Run "adb shell"

  4. Run "su"

  5. Run "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system"

  6. Run "cp /system/bin/logwrapper.bin /system/bin/logwrapper"

  7. Reboot




IF YOU SKIP OR OTHERWISE DO STEP 4 INCORRECTLY, YOU WILL NOT BE HAPPY. PAY ATTENTION TO IT AND STEP 5 TO CONFIRM. I've been told that the Droid 2 root process will work if you miss step 4 but I've not confirmed it. If you end up in this situation and can confirm success, please let me know via gmail @rainabba. HOW TO ROOT DROID X RUNNING FROYO (thanks to Kellex at Droid-Life).


  1. Run "adb shell" (you need adb setup and working from a command prompt. If you don't have that, see the ADB support link in Part A)

  2. If you don't see "#", run "su" (you will see it if you've installed and run Koush's recovery bootstrapper)

  3. Run "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/system /system"

  4. Run "cp /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su"

  5. Run "ls /system/xbin/su" and make sure the results are `/system/xbin/su` and NOT `/system/xbin/su: No such file or directory`. If you see the later, repeat the previous step.

  6. Copy the update.zip to your sdcard (see below for mirrors as they become available. update.zip released to the wild by P3Droid at MyDroidWorld)

  7. Run "exit" to drop back to non-su shell.

  8. Run "exit" to drop back to your terminal

  9. Run "adb reboot recovery" to reboot into recovery mode (Thanks for the reminder Myanth)

  10. Run update.zip


To update Superuser.apk (2.3) and su.


  1. Download the attached file to your computer to a location you'll remember (suggested C:\ or ~ for linux users)

  2. Open a terminal/prompt and for windows users run "cd c:\" for linux users run "cd ~"

  3. Run "adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/"

  4. Run "adb shell"

  5. Run "su"

  6. Run "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system"

  7. Run "cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/"

  8. On the phone, open your launcher, locate Superuser, and open it. You will likely be prompted to allow access then update su.


 

If you have /system/xbin/su and /system/app/Superuser.apk, but cannot use "Superuser" (no prompts from Superuser app, "permission denied" when you try to run "su"), just do the following:




  1. Run "adb shell"

  2. Run "/system/xbin/su"

  3. Watch your screen for Superuser app to prompt for permission and click "allow"

  4. Run "mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/system /system"

  5. Run "cp /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su"

  6. Run "chmod 4755 /system/bin/su"

  7. Open the SuperUser application on the phone (app launcher) and make sure that "superuser" isn't listed and denied. If so, "forget it" and return to step 2. If you can't find SuperUser, it's not installed and you should download from this posts attachments and "adb install Superuser.apk"

  8. [optional] Run "mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/system /system"




MIRRORS















For Motorola Windows Drivers (adb, and whatnot)









File Attachment(s):
Superuser.apk (192kb) downloaded 856 time(s).

I cannot get the update to apply with your steps. Says the logwrapper is wrong.

Okay, I have all the adb drivers installed but how do I "run adb"? I didn't have to go through this before because the day I went to root is the day the one-click root came out.

I have a couple of questions:



1.  Does anyone know if this build of froyo have the JIT in it?  (I remember hearing that the JIT required a kernel module, and that nothing about the kernel (so far) can be changed do to the bootloader).



2.  Is it possible to get back to stock motoblur in case I have to (take it in etc. etc.)

So if I've removed bloat apps, do I have to get a stock image to be able to flash 2.2?

This is stock motoblur [2.2]. This is a signed update from Motorola, not a community ROM.

For what it's worth, I updated to 2.2 and got stuck at the motorola logo when I rebooted. I tried pulling the battery and trying again.... There were no errors while the update had been installed.

I wound up formatting the cache partition again and it booted right up, no further issues so far.

Just figured I'd share.

Those with logwrapper problems. You don't need to reflash.



You need to connect via adb and remount your system folder with rw permission.



Go to /system/bin



remove the hijack link to logwrapper and rename logwrapper.bin to logwrapper.



I was extra safe and made a backup of hijack, logwrapper, and logwrapper.bin. Then I:

rm logwrapper

cp logwrapper.bin logwrapper



Then exit adb.



Currently flashing now.

From drhill of android forums.



I did this and my update is now working as I type.



No more error status 7!

I was able to complete the update successfully. However, I no longer have root on 2.2. I did confirm the following before updating "Run "ls /system/xbin/su" and make sure the results are `/system/xbin/su`" after running "cp /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su" Any ideas?

Do you need to start at a stock image before you put the froyo update on? I have removed all the bloat apps like cityID and other shit, Will I need to put those apps back on before I can change over?
