Everyone wants Android 2.2 on their Motorola Droid X, right? Well, a leaked Froyo build is now available for your device, it’s up to you how bad you want it. This process will only take a few minutes and then you’ll be enjoying Froyo just like your Motorola Droid brethren. If you are running a rooted Droid X, then you should hit up ROM Manager.

AndroidSPIN is not responsible for damaged done to your device. You are doing this entirely at your own risk.

*Note*

Once you update your device, there’s a chance that will no longer be able to revert back to Android 2.1, keep that in mind.

Update.zip

1. Download the update.zip from above and place it on the root of your SD card. (Not in a folder)
2. Turn your phone off.
3. Boot into recovery but holding the Home key and Power at the same time.
4. When a triangle with exclamation mark appears, release buttons and press the Search key once.
5. Using the volume up/down switch, scroll down to “apply sdcard:update.zip.”
6. Once highlighted, press the camera button to apply the update.zip.
7. Your phone will work some magic and if finished correctly will say “Successful.”
8. Scroll back up to “Reboot system.”
9. You phone should now reboot running Android 2.2.

If the installation is aborted due to a “logwrapper” error, head HERE for the fix instructions.
