Help Problem updating to 4.5.605

[mjoecarroll]

Hi,
I have a Droid X (8GB) that I purchased off of eBay with a bad ESN. Whenever I do the update, it fully downloads and starts the update, but about a fourth of the way through, I receive the exclamation mark failure notice and it shuts down. At first, I thought that it might be because my phone was rooted, so I unrooted it. I thought about doing a manual update by downloading the rom, but my phone has a broken camera button so that is out of the question.

Is there any way to update my phone?

.621 is a pain to root. There are also fewer roms available for it.

Are you sure you want to update?

You could sbf to .621 via the rooting guide: http://androidforums.com/droid-x-al...ad-602-sbf-root-process-updated-9-9-11-a.html

The problem is, however, that my phone has a bad camera button. Every single guide requires a working camera button for programming to work.

Yup, sorry, I missed that.

Where are you now, can you boot into your phone or not?

With a tear-down guide and a little cleaning, you might be able to fix the button.

O/w, I'd forget the update, if you're able too. When I had an X, it worked just fine on .605, running MIUI. If I still had that phone I wouldn't be updating to .621.

Right now it runs smoothly like you'd expect it too. The only problems are that one button and that it won't update. I don't know what it is on now, but it is trying to update to 605. Android OS is 2.2.1. I seemed to notice that when I pressed the camera button it had a two-click system.

I'd disable that update check and stay where you're at. I think you just have to rename a file.

Hi,

How would you recommend that I accomplish that? What filw needs renaming?

And I'm soing te update just so I can get the latest Android version.

I'm currently at 2.3.340

Turn OFF OTA Updates

Fix your camera button and you should be able to update. Someone stated all they had to do to fix one of the buttons was to open the phone and do a little cleaning.
