[Q] Removing a theme

Just curious, i installed a theme ion my phone and it is already boring me. How do i remove it?

If you made a backup like you should have before you put on the theme, boot into recovery and restore back to before you had the theme. If you didn't make. A backup I think you could just factory reset the phone

The method of install would be helpful. Ie metamorph, zip flash, or adw/launcher theme.

@ skipwagner - i didnt do a backup(i know, way to go noob). i did a factory reset and the theme was still on it.
@zibrah3ed - Installation
1. Download file and place on the root of your SD card.
2. Use Koush's Bootstrapper to reboot into recovery.
3. Install .zip from sdcard, choose zip from sdcard.
4. Install Kangerade Blue Theme.
5. Enjoy!
it was the Kangerade Blue for the Droid2

You will have to SBF it back to original

Thanks to everyone who made a post to help me out. @MNDuke - I will definitely try that next.

I would backup your data with titanium backup, after that flash the rom you are on back without wiping data or cache. That should get you back to stock. Think sbf flashing it is a bit over the top, but may be needed.

Clockwork backup

What's the best way to create a full backup before flashing a rom? I have clockwork recovery installed and Droid x bootstrap. I flashed the clockwork recovery but it wont reboot into the recovery or create a backup of my current rom.

On Gingerbread: I ran into a similar issue. In order for it to boot into bootstrap recovery for me I had to install Droid 2 Bootstrap recovery and bootstrap with that one for it to boot properly. I had issues with Clockworks recovery from Clockword mod and Droid X bootstrapper. Try Droid 2 Bootstrapper and let us know if that works.

I'm not sure what you're using to make a backup but here's a way that should work for you. Using Droid x bootstrapper, click bootstrap recovery and then click reboot recovery. If you're on the GB leak disable USB debugging and it will work. Then when in CWM, use the up/down volume keys to navigate to backup and restore, and press the camera button to select it. If you need to go back you can press the power button or back key. After selecting backup and restore, select the first option and it will backup everything on your phone. It will take about five minutes or more, just be patient. When its done you can flash a rom or reboot

I am on the regular Verizon rom with the latest update. The phone wont boot into the recovery either through bootstrap or clockwork GUI.

You are rooted I presume? I would try installing bootstrap and reinstalling as well.

What buttons are you using to boot into recovery? It should be just power and volume down

You can only make a backup by getting into cwm. It sounds like you are still getting into stock recovery. Follow the instructions by jmoney above and you should be good. There is a way to boot into cwm from a powered off state. Just search the forums if you feel like going that route.

Thanks for the help guys i got it working. something was fubar with the installs, so i wiped the cache and wiped the application data on bootstrapper and clockword and reinstalled. worked like a charm.
thanks for the help guys.

Droid 2 Miui 1.9.23 CWM Troubles

This is my first time using MIUI and its quite different than what I'm use to. I rooted the d2 then used d2bootstrap to flash the recovery. I then made a nandroid backup. I flashed MIUI 1.9.23. I flashed cwm with rom manager. Tried booting into recovery from rom manager and just reboots my phone with a factory reset. I tried the same thing from the power menu and wipes the phone completely every time. i've tried booting into recovery by waiting for the blue led but it never comes.
I don't know what sbf is. Could someone please help me through this? Thanks again.

One, make sure you have the version for the D2/Global.
Secondly, don't use Rom Manager to do the install. It doesn't play well with the D2.
Download Droid 2 Bootstrapper here: https://market.android.com/details?...vbS5rb3VzaGlrZHV0dGEuZHJvaWQyLmJvb3RzdHJhcCJd
Rom Manager may work for some, but in general it's just screwy with the D2
Install the MIUI Zip in the SD root directory so it will be easy to find.
You must be rooted. Run boostrapper, Bootstrap Recovery, then Restart Recovery.
Wipe cache, then wipe data. Go into advanced options and wipe dalvik cache.
Choose install zip from sd card, select your MIUI zip, and the phone will do the rest.

What ever you do, DON'T use ROM Manager to install CWM recovery.
-Now use RecoveryInstaller to install CWM recovery.
-If you want to save data use Titanium Backup or similar app
-Download the ROM file you want to use and put it on the micro sd card
-Boot into CWM recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache
- Choose "Install from zip file"
- "Choose zip file from sd card"
- Select the zip of the ROM file
- Choose Yes to install your ROM file
-After the flashing process is done, Reboot
-Enjoy
