I’ve got the same problem on my X. No root method yet?

Of course it will, it’s like SBFing your phone.

Liberty ROM. Way better battery life than cyanogen

I have clockword mod installed on the phone. I would remove if I knew how. I don’t need it anymore as I am no longer interested in SBFing.

Anyone successfully rooted after this updated? I was rooted and lost root. No big deal, as I was expecting that to happen. I was hoping to use the Droid 4 root method and have attempted twice without gaining root. The root tool tries to copy all the files and says “system is read only” Any other way to root Droid X after applying this update?

So if i have a deoxed rooted GB installed, will this update work? Im not concerned with losing root, im more concerned with stability.

I was running rooted 605 and downloaded “voodoo ota rootkeeper” before accepting the update. I let it try to update but it went into clockwork recovery and when I rebooted it said update failed. I still have root and I’m still on 605 but now everything is going haywire… LPP and the browser become unresponsive every couple minutes. I cleared the cache but I’m still getting FC’s left and right.

I would recommend staying far away from this one.

I immediately signed up for the Droid X soak tests when I first got my X two years ago. I then was permitted to participate in two subsequent soak tests. I gave them terrible ratings and unflattering feedback in both soak tests because both of the updates were just — terrible. The updates glitched out my phone, all but ruined the camera, added yet more bloatware, diminished battery charge life significantly, and otherwise they all-around simply sucked.

Motorola never let me participate in another soak test again ever since.

That is Motorola.

After this update rolls out and the Droid X is finally relegated to ‘unsupported’ status, my teen son will be given my Motobloata Droid X. I will be saying good-bye to Motobloata forever. It does not matter what device they contrive in the future. If it’s Motorola branded, it’s destined to be crap.

I don’t do a lot of pics with my X, but I don’t have any blurry or grainy issues. Still waiting for the Note to come to Verizon (or something better that’s as big).

On the upside, that usually means an update is forthcoming.

I tried the Droid 4 method on the 621 update and it failed (arrgggg). Here is the dump:

The only thing I used root for was to keep ADW EX in memory. I have seen some lag painting widgets after closing applications so I would really like to get my phone back the way it was, with ADW EX Launcher in memory full time.
