Trying to go to gingerbread

[Aiwa]

Hello everyone,
I just recently rooted my phone and I like it a lot. However a bit new in this and now I am trying to go for gingerbread because I see that most themes today are build for that and I read in other threads that it is worth it.
I think I have Froyo but it says my version is 2.2.1
All the forums explaining how to go to gingerbread say upgrade from froyo 2.2.2 to gingerbread but my question is how can I go to 2.2.2 first so that later I could do the gb update

The 2 part method works great and its pre-rooted so you can still use your root apps. I just recently installed the it and then flashed Liberty GB v.08 and have not looked back since. If you need links or further help with it, just pm and I'll be happy to help. If you decide to stay stock with out root, then the OTA update works as well. I don't think it has been rooted as of yet, but I'm sure it will be eventually.

Hey man thanks for your response that's exactly what I need. I like my rooted phone so if I could go all the way to liberty gb it would be awesome I want to at least try it. However what is this 2 part method that you mentioned above? I google but can't find it. I think I could do the gb liberty but I think for that flash I need the 2.2.2 right? If you have a link on how to go to 2.2.2 it would be great

Here is a link to GB Liberty, [ROM] Liberty Gingerbread and this Download: Official DROIDX Gingerbread 4.5.596 for Rooted Users - Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog has the 2 part method you need. Just make sure your on a bone stock Froyo phone. No other ROMS or anything else. Once you download the 2 files, just simply boot into recovery and flash part 1 then part 2 and bingo bango, you're on the GB leak thats rooted. After that, just flash the GB liberty ROM and you will be all set to have fun. Need more help, just PM me or do a search. Oh and make sure you're using D2 bootstrapper not DX because it dosnt work well with GB

If you need specific instructions, here:

From Liberty 2.0.1, Stock, Apex, CM7, etc. (ANY ROM) to Liberty GB

Thanks for those instructions too its much more detailed. I have one question for either of you though;
I starte with the process of rooting not even one week ago and I had to purchase the bootstrap recovery for Droid X. Now that I am using Froyo rooted I feel like there is nothing for froyo anymore because everyone is already on GB and all the cool ROMs and themes are only for GB. But what concerns me is that now everyone is telling me to get the bootstrap for Droid2 for GB but that just sucks a bit because I JUST bought the droid x bootstrap and I feel like I should just use it more before I buy the new one in so that I can make my money's worth. I know it is very cheap but its still kind of annoying tha I just bought the other and I should've read more before I got it. My question is do you guys still think it would be worth for me to just buy the D2 bootstrap and upgrade it to GB, even though I just got the Dx one?
One more quick question is about the ne GB I heard it is coming out soon which are fixing many bugs and if I do upgrade I would have to go through the whole process to get the new GB again. Should I wait for this new version or just go for the old one bc it is good enough?
Thanks but I just need to read some opinions before I jump to getting a new bootstrap

1. Wait for the new update to go public.
2. You can get Droid 2 Bootstrap for free here:
Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap v1.0.0.3.apk

So I tried downloading and it seems like it downloaded a .txt file. When I try to open it, it tells me to open with a program and I tried with all the ones I have available and none worked. Sorry if this is a noob question but if this does work it would be amazing so could you point me to the right direction to intall it?

The file link I posted is an APK. You stick it on your SD card and install it from your phone.
