How To – Droid-X – Upgrade from 2.320 to 2.340

I’ve ran into this problem where I was running a leak 2.320 and wasn’t able to get the OTA (Over the Air) update. I needed to get to version 2.3.340 in order to get Liberty v1.5 to flash correctly. Thanks to TBH (Team Black Hat) I was able to flash my device via ClockWorkRecovery instead of trying to find the SBF for 2.340.

What You Will Need:
- Root Access
- ClockWorkRecovery
- Droid-X Boot Strapper

Step 1. Download the upgrade 2.340 .zip file Download via P3Droid.info
Step 2. Place the “2.3.340_system_updater.zip” anywhere on your SD-Card, DO NOT EXTRACT this zip file! Just copy it.
Step 3. Boot your device into ClockWorkRecovery via Droid-X Boot strapper.
Step 4. You maybe want to Wipe Your Data (If not you may get a boot loop).
Step 5. From ClockWorkRecovery choose “Install ZIP from SD-Card“, Select the “2.3.340_system_updater.zip” that you placed on your SD earlier, Then Choose “Yes“.
Step 6. Once the update has completed, Reboot your device.
Step 7. On your device select “Settings” -> “About” -> Make sure you are on the 2.340

Other Files: (These are also flashed using ClockWorkRecovery)
BP_C_1.09.07P Baseband Updater – Some people have found it difficult to move from the 1.09.06P baseband or have refused official Verizon updates. This file will upgrade your phones radio file to the newest 1.09.07P Baseband.

MetaMorph – Notification Animation – Yellow

This MetaMorph has only been tested on Droid-X and the Droid-2. When you are on a call on your Droid-X or Droid-2 and you press the “Home” icon your call is still connected and the Notification Bar will normally start flashing/fading “Green”. I have modified the images and switched them to a fading Red. Check the screen shot for more information. This will not work for DROID-1 devices, do not try to install!
