In desperate need for help on Gingerbread upgrade

I have an unrooted D2 Global and tried to upgrade to 2.3 yesterday. I did download this stupid update but it just wouldn't install. The install bar would stop at 20-30% and then reboot, and then tell me the upgrade fail. I downloaded the patch for over 6 times already. I tried clearing the cache and everything else. I didn't try SBF as I don't think that's necessary yet.

Could anyone help me solve this problem?Thanks a lot!

I am thinking about going back to iPhone after this one. My experience with Android has compelled me to stay away from this danger software.

By "unrooted" do you mean it was never rooted, or was it rooted in the past and now unrooted? If it has been rooted, and there is a chance something has changed, you probably need to SBF. If it was never rooted, I might be tempted to do a factory reset and try that first. So no more specific error message?

It was rooted and then I unrooted again. If I were to SBF this phone, where do I find the SBF files?

Thanks a lot!

I don't think that they will want those links posted on this forum. But a google search will find them. (Search for "Droid 2 SBF" or "Droid 2 Global SBF" depending which phone you have, but make sure you apply the file for the right phone, applying the wrong one can really brick the phone)

Thanks any ways.

This seems a risky buisness.

Never did I know upgrading a phone or remove an preloaded garbage on a phone I paid $$ for would be so hard.

Perhaps, I can just SBF the phone to 2.4.330 and then see if that flush all the wrong files out.
