The update is installed by the stock recovery, not CWM.
To restore your system to pre-CWM state, you need to root, and use something like Root Explorer to go to /system/bin/ and check if there's logwrapper.bin in there. If there is, delete “logwrapper” there, and rename “logwrapper.bin” to “logwrapper”.

from further trial and error...it seems to be a issues with the "sd card program" every time i connect my phone to the computer and my sd card undocks...i lose the apps on my page...and still can't find titianum backup pro..even thought it says it's installed on the phone...
update:
used move to SD card program...confirmed that all apps on SD card are not accessible once moved AND said apps "vanish" from page when card is docked and do not reappear when undocked...will be calling verizon techs later this week

This was already discussed @ motorola owners' forum.
Any homescreen shortcuts to apps installed to the SD card will disappear on unmount.

Given the outrageous amount of memory dedicated for installing apps on D2G, there is absolutely no reason you move apps to SD card with this phone. Simply move all apps back on phone storage and you will be fine.

yes BUT they returned when the card redocked.. the deletion never happened until this latest update...i went to 3 different stores and confirmed that they are aware of the situation and a new update will be released sometime in november

Then, per your message, especially since I haven't really done anything else with my phone except freeze some apps, which I've un-froze, where is CWM, aside from in Droid 2 Bootstrapper which I thot was frozen, and how do I get rid of it? Do these apps, at least z4Root, D2Bootstrapper and Superuser have to be physically removed from the phone?
And another question, do I need to download SBF and do all of that if I delete those 3 apps and the only non-stock thing on my phone is Go Launcher EX?
Hello, total noob here, but im on an Droid2Global, with z4Root, Bootstrapper, and Superuser installed on my phone, all in order to get AndroidTether to work with my 3G network. Its essential for my job, and i use it every day.
After about 3-4 days of trying, today, i finally got the damn update to download. It needed a super strong WiFi signal from my home computer to actually get started. Took 20 min, then it said, reboot in order to install. I clicked reboot now. Phone went black, came back on and displayed Update has Failed. Did not Install.
Ok so what the hell happened? Im a noob, I dont even know where the update downloaded to.
Do i need to unroot, and delete all these apps, and go back to Vanilla Android like the day i bought it for this update to work? and if so, after the update is installed, will i be able to download all those apps again, and get my android tether to work properly so that i can work?
Whats the best solution here? should i just ignore this update and get left behind in the update department? because i really dont want to have my Tether down for more than maybe a day.
Thanks
