Upgraded DROID X Software to System Version 4.5.596.MB810.Verizon.en.US

I have upgraded my DROID X software from the issued version of 2.2 to 2.3.3.  Unfortunately directly after the upload completed my Droid started to turn itself off and on.  Powering it down by the Power Button wasn't an option as that function did not work.  I had and still have to remove the battery in order for it to remain on without stalling and restarting over and over and over.

 

Speaking to Verizon reps at store level:  I was insturcted to do a Factory Reset.  Thata should clear up all issues as it is possible that an application that was not compatiable with DROID's upgrade was present. 

 

The Factory Reset failed to correct the problem as well.  I removed all apps that I downloaded and, again, did a factory reset.  My 2nd Factory Reset was logged.

 

Does anyone know of a solution without returning the unit for replacement under warranty?

 

Thanks in advance!

eliminate all the apps you added before the upgrade and see if the problem goes away.

there are tons of posts about problems with the upgrade in "search'

Have a look here and here

 

This is a pretty comprehensive list of problems people are experiencing with the GB "update" and about the constant restarts - grab a cup of coffee - it's a long read, with good information. Unfortunately, the original poster and many others have given up on the DX and switched to another phone.

I was switched to a Droid X2 and while, in my opinion, the Gingerbread update is a bit better here, its still plagued with issues. I'm sure Motorola and Verizon will issue a software patch in the next month or 2 that will sort out a lot of these issues. Unfortunately, we have to wait until then.

Motorola released a new software patch to refine the Gingerbread experience on August 15, 2011. Your phone will be notified of the update when available to your phone. Find the update information here.

 

Thank you and have a great day!

Remember, folks, this most recent update is for the X, not the X2. Not yet, anyway.
