Newb HELP!

Ok here is the link for the stock GB update.
Official Gingerbread for the Droid X2 - 2.3.3/4.5.1A-DTN-117-15 (Rooted)

It also has instructions for the pre-rooted GB but follow the other link I posted for that because the other link has a more detailed instructions.

Oh also one last thing when it says rename the .zip to "update.zip" rename it to "update" (without quotation marks) only. the .zip gets placed automatically most of the time.

One last question. How do i get into stock recovery?! lol

 

[Alucard103]

Ok, What you do is, with the power off, hold the power and volume down keys until you see the words fastboot near the top. Now keep pressing volume down key until you see android recovery then press volume up key to select it.

 

[DustinSK925]

[Alucard103]

[DustinSK925]

[EvilTim]

it did some things for about 5 seconds then aborted

I would try going into recovery and doing a factory reset then try again

 

[DustinSK925]

it says when i press apply. Verifying update package. E: failed to verify whole-file signature. Signature verification failed. installation aborted

 

[EvilTim]

Redownload it with Firefox or chrome

 

[DustinSK925]
