“Official” Gingerbread Leaked to Motorola Droid 2

Motorola Droid 2 owners who have been waiting for some Gingerbread love are getting their long-awaited dessert from Team Black Hat.

They say they’ve gotten hold of an official release of Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread), and posted it for download.

How to Install Gingerbread on Your Droid 2

You will need to have koush’s Droid X Bootstrapper installed on your phone before you can run this update. You can download it here.

As with any major tinkering under the hood of your device, we can’t remind you often enough that you’re treading where dragons dwell, and may turn your beloved Droid into a brick. But for the heroic ones out there who will take the plunge, I’d love to hear about your experiences in the comments section below.

Here are the installation instructions and download links:

____________________________________

1) This build has not been able to be rooted, this is not unexpected as we have not been able to root any of the other versions of Gingerbread that we have.

2) I am working on a solution so that when you do get this you will have root. (community will work on it now)

3) You can sbf the 2.3.20 zip file from TBH to get back to stock to take the update whenever verizon pushes it out.

4) YOU WILL NEED TO ERASE YOUR DATA IF YOU BOOTLOOP.

Firmware will be released as a flashable zip file (sbf flashed to phone through bootstrap recovery). No sbf file will be made available.
