Be sure to install RSD Lite before booting your phone in bootloader.

sorry for the late response, didn't see the comment.

I followed this guide from Droid Life, I think, but basically you need to have Android SDK installed on your windows PC, along with the Moto Drivers for your phone. After that you can then boot your phone in bootloader, plug into computer, then flash the SBF to your computer using a program called RSD Lite.

Hope this makes sense.

I noticed after updating my DX it doesn't hold a charge very well…..it'll last half a day now. Also for some reason it gets really hot to the touch like it has a little Droid fever sometimes lol. Anyone having issues like this?

took me all day to get update and fix problems after the update. All for what you ask? to add extra bloatware, a new dialer, a little more responsiveness,and a few other minor things. Now i am Back to root with the update and no roms compatible with the new update as of yet (that i know of).

I was running 2.2 rooted deodexed with Darkslide v3.2.1 blureless.

-I had to return to stock odexed using 928 back to stock odexed.
-unfreeze all system apps (bloatware) in Titanium Backup. (if you renamed them or deleted them you need to get them back on.)
-wipe cache & data and factory reset
-the update finally worked.

after update i had root but it acted like i didn't (busybox was giving me issues)

-had to download z4root 1.3.0 and rerun to fix root issue.

when restoring with Titanium backup "do not" restore system apps. i ran into constant sync issues and some other issues because i restored everything.

I just wanted to post this for people to consider before they try to update. If you want to keep the phone from auto updating i read that you can freeze the updater.apk with titanium backup.

hope this helps. follow at own risk. this is just my experience with it and is for reference.
