Help Can't manually install 4.5.621 update on non-contract Droid X

Hey, all. I'm trying to manually install the 4.5.621 update on my Droid X using SwiFTP. Anytime I try to update using Settings --> About Phone --> System Updates, I'm told that I'm already up to date, but I know for a fact this isn't the case.

By the way, I bought my phone off of Amazon without a contract, so I'm doing all of this via WiFi.

After I place the file in the SDCard folder (renamed "update.zip) and initiate installation, I receive this message:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installing update...
asset failed: file_getprop(?/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "verizon/shadow_vzw/cdma_shadow:2.3.3/4.5_57_DX5-35/110820:user/release-keys" I I file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fiingerprint") == "verizon/shadow_vzw/cdma_shadow:2.3.4/4.5.1_57_DX8-51/120111:user/release-keys"
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

Can anyone tell me what to do? I already tried a factory reset and I still get the same message. Thanks in advance.
 
If you really want 621, you could always SBF it. See the stickies in the All Things Root section for instructions. I know the SBF file was posted somewhere in there, but not sure where.

Thank you for the replies! I appreciate your advice. I'm a recent convert from the Apple camp, so I'm not wise in the ways of RDS Lite. Can you offer a brief description of how to access that program, and how to load the .sbf file onto my phone? You guys have been very helpful!
 
You are such a champ. I followed your links and now I have Liberty 3.0 running on my Droid X. Thank you so much for taking the time to help!
