We’d heard the Motorola DROID X could receive Android 2.3 Gingerbread this weekend, but that was only a rumor. We didn’t hear about a Motorola DROID 2, though, but the folks at MyDroidWorld have leaked the upgrade for all to apply and enjoy on both MOTOBLUR phones from Verizon.
It’s not the official OTA but it’s proof that Motorola’s looking to get things moving along soon. Here are upgrade instructions for the Motorola DROID 2 if you’re rooted and would rather not wait for the OTA:
1. Download this file from the TBH app (public release in 72 hrs)
2. Use Bootstrap to get your phone into recovery.
3. Create a backup (This is not compatible with new firmware)
4. Install the Firmware using recovery
1. select install zip from sdcard
2. choose zip from sdcard
3. navigate to teamblackhat folder
4. select the file you downloaded
5. Restart phone
6. Re-activate your phone
1. dial *228
2. select 1
You’ll need the TBH app from the Android market which costs $1.99. (A free release will go out in the next couple of days.) After you download that and retrieve the file you’ll need, those instructions above should get you going. You DROID X folks can find instructions for your device below. The file you’ll need is in the TBH app, but you can also get it from the mirrors listed here.
Installing Firmware
1. Download this file from the TBH app or one of the mirrors below
2. Use Bootstrap to get your phone into recovery.
3. Create a backup (This is not compatible with new firmware)
4. Install the Firmware using recovery1. select install zip from sdcard
2. choose zip from sdcard
3. navigate to teamblackhat folder
4. select the file you downloaded5. Restart phone
If your phone bootloops you need to enter recovery and wipe data:
1. hold down power and home.
2. when you see the triangle hold down both volume buttons
3. select wipe data/factory reset —press power button to select
4, reboot system
Be sure to let us know what you think of the upgrades after you’ve tried them out. [Thanks to everyone who sent this in!]
Lucky bastards lol.
Since thats Gingerbread for the X and Droid 2, that means its coming officially soon.
And I thought Motorola didnt …..naw never mind. I said it enough already. lol
You said all.
I hope it comes too for Original DROID!!
I take it there won’t be anything for the Milestone 2 any time soon :/
What about milestone 2?
It works, trying to get used to not being rooted :-p thanks to all its like having a new phone!
Waiting for roofing mehthods to b confirmed then ill update
How about some gingerbread love for my incredible!! Wanna see something official for that
Do I have to root my Droid x before I do this?
yes
Someone walk me through this with alittle more discretion.I rooted but am new to rooting.
Also I thought the bootloader was locked?
The TBH app states that the leaked upgrade for the X is currently unrootable, doesnt’ seem worth it.
Help
Very interested in this untill I saw it makes you loose root.
I will wait on a rooted version.
Actually Before my Original Droid died, I was running Honeycomb.
Anyone working on Honeycomb for the Droid X?
if they have those two in the pipe- wonder if their contemporary – the Droid Pro – has one too…
I tried installing this stupid thing like 10 times and it wont go I did everything they said rooted,installed bootstrap, yada yada yada and it keeps saying the zip is bad and installation has been aborted. Am I doing something wrong?
Download from a different source. Had the same problem and the file should be quite large. Download and it should take a while. If not, it’s not a good file. running fine on my phone now
Ok. Anyone loaded this rom yet? I did and my Droid X is no longer rooted and cant seem to re root it. I was trying to use my Droid Overclocker. Any ideas?
Just installed it. It’s definitely all I hoped it would be.
Can you install this iif you are not rooted?
Can you install this iif you are not rooted?

Is there anyway to get the update.zip file without using TBH App? I can’t find it anywhere.
I don’t know if anyone else has noticed but my droid x battery life has improved at least by 200% since I installed 2.3.3. I’m glad google is finally realizing that management of background applications is a very important thing to users. Maybe this will make it so we don’t have to use task killer apps anymore.
