Yeah its hard to root a device when your confined to a locked bootloader... If we had a real recovery we could just open up the update.zip and throw root in it and not worry about it being signed

i thought root only had to do with the /system partition? plus i thought you could preroot a rom before installing it
P3's on the cutting edge of this stuff, besides being a premier dev for the DX. He'll get there. On another note (probably should be in another thread), this will be my absolute last bootloader locked device. Htc will get my business going forward, if moto doesn't amend their ways.

Locked bootloader or not I have had many HTC devices including G2 and Mytouch 4G and HD2, and motorola just makes much higher quality devices for Verizon. Build quality vs. Locked Bootloader, build quality wins.

I've had HTC devices and have not complained at build quality to be honest
Now although I don't see the root ninja, I do see a folder for TBH. So knowing how good P3 is with this stuff, I wouldn't be surprised if it's not rooted.

You must never have had some of their older WinMo stuff. Terrible build quality, a lot of people here would go through 5+ devices over 2 years. It's gotten better, definitely, but I love the build quality of the Droid X.

I had an Incredible for awhile. I liked it but the screen was too small and the battery didn't last long enough. The radio seemed pretty close the X, maybe a bit worse.

I had the x6800 and the TouchPro 2, and I think I may have had one replaced once... A guy I worked with at the time had his replaced several times, but that's just because he was an idiot and kept dropping it. I hated WinMo, but the devices themselves were pretty solid. But I agree with previous posters, I'm not getting another device with a locked bootloader. Not sure if it'll be an HTC phone or what, but probably not Motorola (though granted, my phone is SO much nicer now that I'm running Liberty 1.5...)

Yes, once the X2 gets an upgraded screen-locked bootloader I assume though - it will still be nice. The 22% larger screen that iPhone really makes a big difference. Looking at 3.5" screens reminds me of when digital cameras first came out and touted 1" LCD screens......
Droid X or HTC Incredible
Stupid question! For sure we will have a Gingerbread Leak rom for our Droid X?
If not it will be a good decision take it HTC Incredible?

Hey guys, the fun with my Eris was fun while it lasted despite the bugs. slowness, freezes, trackball stopped working etc. Plus i really missed having a physical keyboard. So I ended up falling and cracking my Eris screen which really pissed me off. I called verizon cancelation department multiple times threatening to go to sprint and get the HTC Evo for 200 bucks from raido shack, it took 3 seperate calls and 2 different supervisors and finally they gave the option of any android phone they have available at the new customer rate (so DroidX, Droid2, Droid Incredible0 for 199.99 minus 100. So I went with the the Droid2 not realizing its not rooted yet, and doesnt look like it will be easily rooted. So should I keep the Droid2 which i REALLY want cause of the the physical keyboard and Froyo2.2 that isnt hacked together like it is on the Eris, and real Flash 10.1, or should i cancel and go with the DroidX. My guess is the Droid2 will be rooted and we will be able to put custom roms on soon, is this true or just a pipe dream.
Any real decent well thought out feedback would be appreciated.
droid x may be rooted but it dosen't have custom roms yet...
Well I got my Droid2 via FedEx today and I really don't care that the phone isn't rooted, this phone frickin' rocks.
Agreed. I had to exchange my LG Ally out to something faster. And I am glad I did go to the Droid 2. Its really fast.
I just upgraded my eris to a droid 2 and the droid 2 is incredible!!!
I've used the droid x a few times and the droid incredible a few more times and the droid 2 just blows them out of the water!
Also I love the new keyboard and if you use launcher-pro (with the new update) the phone feels even faster+ you still get the cool ninja-blur widgets without the annoying launcher.
it's just an awesome phone.
I don't want to be a party pooper but I was tired of the buggy Eris as well. I rooted, installed a fantastic froyo rom, and am completely satisfied now. Fast, stable and badass! I wouldn't say no if someone gave me a Droid X/2 but I certainly will not be pushing for one.

Well Veri$on is sending me a Droid2 because I have had 4....let me count them...1...2...3..4....phones. (I wanted a Droid X but no dice)
I have been reading about how to root and install Bootstrap Recovery. Can someone guide me to a FAQ and suggest a good ROM? I know that the Droid2 comes with Froyo 2.2, and I read that there is a 2.3 update for the Droid X. Is there one for the D2?
I have rooted my old Eris but it seems to me that the D2 is a little bit complicated.
Thanks!
2.3 was the Motorola version, not the android version.

I personally love this phone, even with 2.1 it still amazes anybody I show it to. Of course I must have been lucky cause I suffer no lag issues or any other issues other users post on here. I score a 930 on quadrant stock and mid 8's in linpack which doesn't prove anything but it is what it is. A friend of mine with the droid x (which I like also) can't believe how much snappier my fascinate is even though he runs 2.2... This phone will be hard to beat for a while IMO of course!
I think a good phone fit you to try is John's phone. You'll never have to worry about updates
This phone is fine without froyo. This thread is pointless. And has nothing to do with the fascinate.
good day.
I think you are confused about which virgin mobile got the update.

Hey guys! Don't know how many of you were watching, but the nexus one got its gingerbread update! Why does this matter? Well, the nexus one would have to be the first phone to receive the update and now that it has the floodgates are open! This is particularly good news for us g2 oowners, as we are running stock android and are one of the next in line for the update. Wooo!
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
We already have a very stable version running on our phones so realistically its not that great news, its good but nothing to be shouting about haha sooorrry.
Indeed, but for those without stock this is good news and those with it can expect performance increases in custom ROMs when it comes out from the drivers it will provide. Kinda win win.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I really wish it was that simple but its not the case. Just because it "looks" like stock doesn't mean that there's tons of different from AOSP. Plus, the nexii phones don't need their updates to be carrier approved unlike the G2. IMO we won't get official gingerbread until mid-summer. Totally sucks but realistically it's what we'll have to put up with. I'd love an updated .35/.37 kernel from HTC though. CM7 is so amazing though that I wouldn't even worry about it.

Apparently samsung has "confirmed" Gingerbread for the galaxy s phones in march. (Check the galaxy s I9000 forums) By that logic, we should be getting it before then, unless tmobile botches their "pure android" marketing component for the G2.

I have been using Ultimate Droid rom, and it's so much better than CM7. It's way more stable, and offers more customization.
I wish it had the following Cyanogen does, because it would be nice to have some other Evo users to help support and exchange ideas.
I think Evo is probably dead last in groups using UD. It's popular on Motorola Droid series phones. You guys should check it out. http://www.udrom.com/forum/index.php?/topic/1218-evo-ud-325/

Have you tried CM7 final? I haven't tested UD so can't compare, but CM7 has made me a believer and I'm definitely off the Sense wagon. Anyways, I noticed that UD incorporates wimax source from teamwin/cm so that's gotta say something for CM.

Yah its the HTC passion.
lots of people with Evo's, and Sprint won't release 2.3 = people looking for other ROM's.
Well, now that most of us have FroYo, I thought that we might be lacking something to WILDLY speculate about... sooooo GINGERBREAD ANYONE!?
Some of our friends in Europe already have gingerbread on their Galaxy S's, so the question is, when do we get ours?
Now I know that it took us over six months to get FroYo, but that was due to some sort of disagreement with Verizon and Samsung (most likely over Bing). However, since we now have 2.2, I would *assume* that they have gotten past that and that any future updates we get will most likely come in a more timely fashion.
If things go accordingly, and Samsung and Verizon play nice, then I would assume that we would be getting gingerbread around September or October (based on how long it took FroYo to be distributed to other carriers).
What do you guys think?
P.S. I'll post any major updates that appear in the media.

OP: I think the gingerbread update is going to take even longer than froyo because the gx2 and the charge are going to be out. Samsung is most likely going to update those before they even think about us.
Unfortunately, the truth is: we don't know when the heck Gingerbread is coming for the Fascinate. And with Samsung's somewhat random updates, its really hard to guess even a general date.
If we can get CM7 and maybe officially supported by CM. who cares about stock GB. If JT and PK's work becomes bug free, and it looks like they have done great job, I think we might see gold.

Completely untrue. The droid name means nothing. Carrier and manufacturer are the same. Hardware is the exact same as a the fascinate other than the fact that it has a 4g radio. Its a last gen phone in the very beginning of a new generation... No one cares about it. If anything, its twice the orphan than the fascinate was.

How much do you want to bet the Droid Charge will see Gingerbread and more minor updates than the Fascinate just because it's in the Droid lineup? Both phones are nearly identical when it comes to software. Nearly every phone in the Droid lineup has had great support(except for the Eris and maybe the Pro).
I honestly don't think the fascinate will ever see gingerbread in any sort of official way.
