Ok Ive done everything exactly as it says above. Then I get to step 17 and after rebooting into recovery and doing the install of dxgbrooted and it keeps saying that no such file is found? What am I doing wrong?

Will this work on a DROID X without the OTA release of GB?

First off, this is a very helpful article. With one exception: Step 4 should be to go to this link (http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-EN/Support-Homepage/Software_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers) and download the drivers for Windows to recognize your phone. I was going insane with trying to figure out why RSD Lite wouldn’t recognize my phone until I came across a forum post saying that they had downloaded drivers from Moto and finally got it to work. Other than that, I am in the middle of flashing the SBF to my phone and hopefully I don’t hit any other snags.*Fingers crossed*

A little confused. The second to last step says that you need to run DX2 bootstrap for it to work on Gingerbread. But do you only need to run the DX2 version if you want to load a custom rom or something? Because I have gingerbread running as of step 20. So what is the point of running DX2 bootstrap afterward?
Thanks, -aj

You have to bootstrap your recovery using DX Bootstrap. Once you do to and then boot into recovery you’ll see the install update from zip option
