My DroidX rooted 2.2 flyX rom won't flash anything now. I tried to flash the 2.3 keyboard and once I flashed it I couldn't get past the motorola boot logo. Also when I tried to restore my nandroid backup It wouldn't restore all the way. Can anybody help?
It could be because of FlyX. That ROM was like the first one for the DX and was released before the OTA FroYo. I would suggest SBFing and getting FroYo then trying one of the newer, supported ROMs.

Thanks for the information. Now if you could provide me with the information on how to back up all my apps and text messages and information and how to sbf and get me the file I would be very appreciative. Once again thank you.
A quick search on Google will provide you with everything you need.
Can you get Cyanogen for the Droid X?
I have had my X for around 6 months and have wanted to flash a rom but have been scared to say the least! I have a nandroid of my phone which is up to date OTA, rooted, overclocked, and otherwise stock. My question is if I flash this rom and for some reason don't like it, can I restore with my nandroid and get my phone back to the way that it is without any issues? Also, does this rom delete my contacts and other information? I really like the backup assistant for all of my contacts (over 500). Thanks in advance for any answers and advice!

As long as you take a nandroid backup you are safe =) I recommend syncing your contacts to google...then no matter what rom you use, you can always pull your contacts back down. So yes, it will wipe out your contacts.
Let me know if you have more questions! =)

Yeah if you didn't like the liberty rom you could restore your nandroid backup and it will literally be exactly the same when you backed it up... regarding your issue about contacts...when you flash a new rom... once its done installing and boots up its like the first time you turned your phone on so yes everything will be deleted... if you're worried about apps download titanium back up pro and back up your apps and data.. or it will download all yours all from the market...your issue about contacts, personally i used the back up assistant first but ended up just using google contacts because its the easiest way to restore contacts when you flash roms every so often... that's my opinion, i may be wrong...and if you're scared about flashing a rom... i think everyone was on their first time... you just gotta go for it!

Just wanted to thank you guys for your input. I went ahead and installed the rom, used Titanium to back up my apps and so far I LOVE IT! It is ALOT faster than stock, just have to get used to the new UI. I also took the liberty since I was experimenting with something that I can't live without and did the uncapped data mod. I am hoping that it will make a difference as well. I have alot of new things to test and play with tonight, just hope that I can go to sleep so that I can make it to work tomorrow!
A special thanks to the developers for this rom, it is AWESOME!
Don't just limit yourself to liberty...i agree when people say roms are a personal choice... so give all of them a chance!

If I use titanium to backup my apps can I load my apps into the rom I decide to flash? And how do you go about it?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Yeah if you back up your apps with titanium pro..you just restore them once you flash the rom...ill make a nandroid of roms i like... but i always stick to apex... i like some blur stuff...
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I recently took the leap and flashed my first rom a few days ago too. I ended up going with Apex and like it much better than stock so far. I am thinking of doing like hullie said above and trying out some different ones in the coming weeks like Liberty and GummyJar. It's definitely scary at first, but once that first boot up was complete, the look on my face was like a child on Christmas morning.
I agree-was scared at first like getting my first xxxxx! Lol-anyway, now its second nature as long as you have your backup. Try darkslide rom. Two versions. Blur and blurless..

Correct. By default I don't believe any of the custom ROM's (just a guess..can't recall for sure) come with google maps installed. You must pull this down yourself.
Thanks guys

Yeah, installing your first ROM can be quite nerve-racking, but once you've done it you say to yourself, 'that's it? i was so worried about that for nothing!".
I'm currently on my first ROM, which is Liberty, and although I love it, I can't use the camcorder for some reason to record movies. I tried installing both the aosp camera and blur camera, but both just FC.
the very minute before you install the rom make a nandroid and remember to ALWAYS wipe the phone before installing the rom. if you dont like the rom, reinstall dxbootstrp from the market and recover your nandroid.
as for your contacts: screw backup assistant. sync ALL your contacts with google and they will be automatically on your phone as soon as you sign in with you google account.

You should prolly do some digging around the web to see if anyone else has had your problems.... i used liberty for about a week and a half and didn't have issues with the camera stuff.....

Did you update to the 2.3.340 update before installing LIberty? I was running Liberty on top of 2.3.15 and this is due to an incompatible library (.so) file in /system/lib
If you want the files for 2.3.15, let me know. I have them laying around someone :looks around:
The latest update I did was the one ota that included Madden. Is that 2.3.15?

No you are on 2.3.340. I'm not sure why you are having problems with the camera. If it really bothers you, I would suggest re-flashing liberty.

I'll try that out, do I need to create another nandroid backup before I re-flash Liberty?
Hey there,
Broke the screen on my EVO (but it still works) and have a new one coming from Asurion today.
I had rooted my phone a while back and installed Mikfroyo.
Can anyone tell me the quickest way to make my new EVO just like my old one?
I purchased the pro version of Titanium Backup and installed on my old phone. Do I use this or NAND to make a full backup?
Do I have to root my phone, then install Mikfroyo and then restore from backup? Or is there an easier way?
Thanks for any help here!
Use titanium. It isn't a good idea to use a backup from one phone on another. (Recovery backup) just have titanium backup your apps and you should be good. If you don't have tour contacts on your gmail you'll want to back up those too.

Yeah especially because you don't want to accidentally copy over your old phone's RSA keys as they will be disabled when they get the phone.
Thanks guys! So, just to confirm, I do, in fact, have to root my phone and then install MikFroyo again, then restore my apps via Titanium?
Can I restore my email configs, wallpaper, and all that stuff?
Thanks!
If your staying with the same rom version sure. I wouldn't otherwise as it could cause problems. Yeah you will have to do all of it again.

Mmmm... ok.. well looks like I will just build a new phone then. I don't really have that many apps. Was more wanting to save my email configs and other misc things.
I rooted my first phone many months ago and sort of forgot which method I used to root.
Can anyone kindly point me to the recommended way to root these days? I would be very grateful for a link. Thank you.

Does a stock rom image for the continuum exist that can be flashed with Odin and not CWM? I dont think my phone is bricked cause I can get into the download and recovery screens. I just cant do anything from the recovery screen its stuck.
Im either gonna fix this or smash this phone to pieces. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Lol, chill... I'll go on my computer now and share the link with you xP

Ok so I might not smash it but boy is this frustrating.
Thanks for your help lol =)))
Ive done some extensive searching and I havent found a single stock continuum rom for odin anywhere. So if you could create one or point me in the direction of where I could download one I would appreciate that.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967165
Check that out.... Flash with Odin.. Then find (in the Continuum Android Development section) the DL17 update zip, and put that on your sdcard (named update.zip)...
Then you should be good to go...
However, i highly suggest you getting CWM working... Recovering is a lot easier with it... If you are having difficulty go log onto the IRC (http://webchat.freenode.net/) with the #Samsung-Continuum and i will help you out
You are my effin hero... All I needed was the kernel and it fired right up. Ill be keeping these files close cause Im sure Ill need them again.
Thank you!!!!
Justin
Lmao, no problem man.. haha.. Thank imnuts too for all of his development
BTW: If you stop by the IRC i will help you get cwm up and working.. Then you can flash themes, make backups, and flash my awesome Softkey Modifications
Any idea why I cant access data? Im on the phone with verizon but still no luck..
Also cant access the sd card from my pc and wifi on the phone will not connect..
Verizon is stumped they told me to take it back to the store for a replacement..
What a long day lol =)
Also voice service works I can make calls and send/receive text messages just no data. No 3g indicator.
Nevermind I got it figured out.. Everything is running normally with the DL17 clean rom.
Thanks again

Lol, with Nandroid backup, it makes a compleeeete backup of everything.... Which means it backs up your email logins, facebook logins, GOOGLE logins, everything... Which means they could buy apps on the market using your account..... Not good, lol..

I'm getting ready to restore my stock backup on my at&t impulse 4g (U8800-51) to 2.2.2 and I was wondering if anyone had an opinion of some tools I can use on a stock rom to make my phone smoother, faster, nicer looking, and/or more fun to show off.
I currently use titanium backup for restores, and es file explorer. Any tips would be appreciated.

I have this phone, but want to restore to Android 2.2, as well. However, I have no idea where this would be. I just upgraded it, w/the official 2.3.5 firmware update. Unfortunately, it's not working out. So, I've been calling my phone service & Huawei & frantically searching, online, for this "downgrade". Your post has been the closest to finding it. If you'd be so kind as to sharing...I'd certainly appreciate it.
Thx, I hope...

Just reviewed that post, which is a bit overwhelming. I'd really hate to make it any worse. My main concern is that it no longer shows a service network & won't connect the wi-fi. Also, there's no APN settings, even after I tried relisting, as "new". Everything else, seems to function, as long as it doesn't need any network/service...got any other advice?
Thx,

OK, since you've got this same phone, what exactly are you running, on it. If it's GB 2.3.5 or higher, does EVERYTHING work, correctly? I've been reviewing other forums, as well, which I've seen numerous issues w/upgrading. Are you familiar w/a method, of upgrading, by removing the battery & just connect via USB to PC? Also, should I leave my SIM card in/out, while upgrading?
Hope this isn't a bother...I'm just trying to figure out what's best/simplest.
Thx,
T
