    I was trying to download the OTA froyo 2.2 update this morning and when it rebooted a sign came up and said update failed. Anyone else have this problem that I am having. I know people say go back to stock, but my phone is stock and the only thing I have done to it is rooted the phone. Can anyone please help

    You and I are having the identical problem. I even went back and changed everything I did to the original settings. Have you figured anything out?

    Do you think if I do a factory reset then I will be able to get froyo? I don't really have much on the phone and I can just download the apps again. I just don't feel comfortable flashing the sbf because I don't really know what my issue is right now with not being able to update the software.

    I am having the same problem. I un-rooted and changed my .bak's back to .apk's and it still did not work. I also have to inquire what do you mean flash the sbf and then re-download?

    Would just doing a Factory Data Reset fix the problem? That SBF Flash stuff looks a bit too complicated for me

    I would try a factory data reset. If that didn't work I'd bring it to Verizon, it's their update let them fix it.

    Yeah but my phone was rooted when I tried, so I figured that was causing the error in the update

    Yes it indeed is a Verizon update but he has root. Not really a Verizon issue at this point.

    I would suggest as Hook said, the factory reset. If that doesn't work it looks as if flashing the SBF file is the only other option. Yes the SBF will get you back to "true stock" and you will be able to accept the 2.2 update.

    Now, if you can hang on you will be able to flash a Droid X rom soon. Blackdorid is working on it now. That would leave you will root capabilites and have a unique blazing ROM for your X

    Oh Yeah.....forgot one thing....

    GO BIG RED!!!!!!!!!!

    So I see. I also see that apparently people haven't got the word that if you are rooted the update won't take..
