I am considering flashing over to 1.5 from 1.0, but was wondering if there would be any problems with just installing over 1.0 with 1.5, any ideas out there? I love Liberty and want to upgrade, but don't want to cause issues with D2 either.
Thanks in advance for any help.

It says in the liberty thread that they highly recommend wiping before upgrading, however I did see a post where someone flashed over and had no problems. Worst comes to worst, make a backup first.

So currently I'm running on liberty x1.5 and when checking system phone updates, it says it is up to date. I'm sure it's not however since I see news of 2.2 laying around the net if I'm not mistaken. Do I have to revert back to factory to update my phone or how exactly does the process go about. Do I even benefit from the new version if I am running liberty or will liberty have it's own updates... sorry I am new to this whole rom scene and seeking guidance, thanks in advance.
If you put a rom on your phone you won't be able to pull any updates ota... the 2.3.3 update is a leak that tbh put on the net... in order to put it on your phone you need to sbf, and then install the 2.3.3... there are guides on doing this at mydroidworld.com

There is no new OTA yet. It's a leak also OTA's won't come to your phone on anything other than stock.
Thank you very Much guys. I don't want to trouble by making a new thread so ill ask here. I tried restoring to factory form from both reboot clockwork and on settings privacy but it just leads me back to liberty rom.
So to make things clear, there is no official 2.2 jslust a leak. Plus would I even benefit from any updates if I'm running a modded rom?

Official 2.2 is the version that liberty is based off of. doing a factory reset from within the OS will not take you back to factory stock ROM. Did make a nandroid backup before flashing liberty? if so then you should be able to do a restore and you will have a rooted stock rom. If you didn't make a backup then you will need to SBF (I SBF between roms anyway).
Pretty sure he's just confused with version numbers.
Froyo = 2.2
Gingerbread = 2.3
The only available gingerbread rom at the moment is leaked stock and is version 2.3.3. 2.2 is Froyo and has been officially out now for months, it is what all the custom roms out (liberty, fission, rubix etc) are based off of.
so does this mean im automatically running on 2.2 because im using liberty? if so why does it say 2.1.2 on the about phone in settings? does it matter?
I'd be willing to bet it doesn't say 2.1.2 and it actually says 2.2.1. Am I right?
(To answer your question, yes you are running 2.2 Froyo. There are minor update builds to each major release, hence 2.2.1 and for Gingerbread, 2.3.3).
Hey XDA, relative noob here.
Currently running Liberty 1.5. With the donate Liberty toolbox can I go straight to the liberty gingerbread update? Or do I have to go through Liberty 2.0 then 2.0.1? Also, does the gingerbread liberty update include D2 bootstrap or do I need to get that now?
Thanks in advance.
Short answer....yes. There are basically 2 files located in their "Nightlies" ROM list. The first, "Full Install", is for users on Froyo (I'm sure that includes users that are running ROMs other than Liberty on Froyo). This .zip file will not only get you Liberty Gingerbread, but also get you updated to 2.3.3 (Gingerbread). The second is for users on the leaked Gingerbread. Hope this answers your question.
By the way, DX Bootstrap will work on Gingerbread. You should have to go to Settings/Applications/Development and uncheck "USB debugging".
So it won't matter what version of Froyo liberty I have? I can just flash straight to GB?
That is correct. First file, "Full Install", will get you both Gingerbread AND Liberty. Second file will get you Liberty for users already on leaked Gingerbread.
You are a saint my good man.
One last question, does the toolbox automate the process after the zip file is downloaded or will I have to go through clockwork manually and wipe data/cache and install zip?
I think it does take you through the process. However, I would install it manually, going through ClockworkMod Recovery (Bootstrap). Also, "wipe data/factory reset" 5 times then install from SD Card. It's always a good idea to do this to clean the heck out of the phone. Especially since you're upgrading to Gingerbread via a .zip file. Just talking from experience. Hope everything goes well.
By the way, it might take a while for the phone to boot, so make sure your phone is fully charged and give it like 10 minutes after it goes into the boot animation. Hope this helps.
If I already have rooted GB and I want to install Liberty, I will still be rooted after I install liberty correct?
Yes. In fact, that's how I installed it to try out the ROM. I was on the pre-released gingerbread, rooted, without any ROM. Then installed the 2nd file located in their 'nightlies'. It's ok, but I like Broodcomb 2.0. I'm sure once Liberty is fully up and running in Gingerbread, I'll switch over.

I was wondering why I could not do a back-up. Every time I tried to get to recovery I would have to pull or even once sbf. Thanks amzing how much info if you dig.
Hmm, not sure. I've been on Gingerbread now for a couple days without any issues backing up my data. Sorry to hear you're having issues. If anyone out there is having issues running Droid X Bootstrap on leaked Gingerbread, please respond.
I've gone from Liberty 1, Liberty 1.5, to 2.0, and now, Liberty GBv0.1
Absolutly STUNNING rom. It's continued to be the best ROM I've come across. Each update that comes brings with it a smoother experience. I love my Droid X like I love getting a new phone each time.
Amazing work by the Liberty team!
The only issue I had with DX Bootstrap was during the actual installation of Gingerbread. It bricked my phone both times I used DX Bootstrap, but when I used D2 Bootstrap it worked perfectly.
Ok. I am a huge liberty fan but I went to the GB leak as soon as it was rooted. I would really like to go ahead and get back to Liberty GB but I have a question. I have never updated to the. 588 build. I am still running the. 573 build. Is the new Liberty GB compatible with that version?
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
Good question. The Liberty ROM Manager doesn't state specifically which version of Gingerbread you need to be on. So, with that said, I can't imagine that it would matter between .573 and .588. I'm sure what's important is that you're on Android 2.3.3. Any reason as to why you wouldn't want to jump on the latest build? I'm sure there were some fixes addressed on .588.
Just never took the time to SBF back to Froyo...... This build has been very good to me.

Similar here...I installed the Original Rooted and Deoxed Gingerbread....Used it for a couple of weeks while trying to decide if I wanted to update to the "Official Version"...Then the Liberty Rom came out.....installed it over the Gingerbread version I had....and all was well.....I can't say enough good things about the battery life on Gingerbread....it is double what I was getting before (Liberty 1.5)...
Also fwiw...I was not able to get the Liberty Automatic install to work..I had to Manually boot up the D2 bootstrapper and do the usual process from there.
Well, to follow up on my post, I took the plunge. Its only been a few hours but everything seems to be working very well. Decided this morning to just dive in and see what happens....... And, just in case someone has the same question I did, I installed directly over .573 rooted, non-deodexed, and experienced ZERO issues with installation. Latest nightly also installed with zero issues....

Glad to hear everything went well. Sometimes you gotta do, what you gotta do, and play guinea pig.
Hello,
I have a MT4G, s-OFF, running eViL 4G-HD v.0.3.3 ROM with the Sense Kernel 1.0.
I am having very poor data connectivity issues. My 3G will only send out data (upstream) but no down stream. This will go on for 5-10 mins sometimes and then 4G will kick in and everything works fine for a few minutes. If the phone 'tries' to hard to gain connectivity it will freeze and reboot itself. Its becoming a pain in the ass... I have done alot of research on this and people on XDA say that a Sense ROM shouldn't have these issues, yet I am. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated!
I had the same issue. All I did was revert to my latest nandroid backup.
Would be nice to find out what the issue is.

Yeah, I'm curious as to what the issue is. Customer Support is worthless lol
Me and my brother are having this. Same issue running orange glacier rom and faux bfs lv kernel rc3

Ok I found a fix for the problem, what I did was completely wipe the phone, EVERYHTING! Flash on a new rom, sense or not, download the stock radio image from the link provided. Flash the stock radio onto you're device from H-Boot. Please follow all directions given in that thread to ensure your phones survival.
At first its a tad slow but picks up speed and data will remain constant. This worked for me and may not work for others but give it a try, hopefully this will fix any data/cell signal loss!

Where is the leaked mySense rom? And what is it? I've been away from the forums for quite some time. Trying to play catch up is taking a while.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem about a month ago. I used the pd15img to restore completely to stock, rerooted and flashed back to my rom of choice and everything worked perfect.
I can't for the life of me downgrade my PRI from 1.9 to the infamous 1.7. I download it to my SD card and flash it how I do everything else in CWM and I go back into my info and 1.9 still remains. What am I missing? I am nand unlocked and s-unlocked.

Switch to Amon Ra recovery. Cwm gives trouble flashing radios and pri for some reason. Amon is a far better recovery anyways. You wont regret making the switch, and won't have any weird troubles like what you're experiencing now. It just works.

I downgraded PRI and NV to 1.7 and my phone is running HOT. Back to 1.9 I suppose.

When you say hot, you mean physically hot? Try giving it a day, and you sure its not psychosis?
Ever since the downgrade of the two I've had nothing but WORSE battery problems. So back to the current ones and to the custom kernals I go! Thanks for all the help though.

Hope all works out for you. Some roms run better on different pri, and cooler for that matter. Keep in mind
thanks this worked for me!

Make sure that when you flash the downgrade you go ahead and reboot. this is the way i did it in Clockwork recovery. Then i flashed rom
This is MY opinion, but I had 1.9, went to 1.77 for a few months, then back to 1.9 when I realized that downgrading reminded me of going from Windows 7 to Windows Vista. And then I found out that PRI has ZERO to do with battery life, and maybe when an official update comes out, it may actually be that's it's better than the old version.
For about a month now I've been very interested in rooting my R2D2 Droid 2. I think I know how I'm going to do it, by using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764950 however, I am unsure if it would work considering that I'm using Gingerbread 2.3.3. Another question I have is when I flash a custom ROM to my phone, will it replace the R2D2 animation on the startup of the phone that I've come to know, love, and hate? Also, any advice as to I should add to my phone after rooting would also be greatly appreciated, especially apps, Custom ROMS, and anything you guys can think of.
Thank you so much!
Rooting is pretty simple. If you are on the OTA GB update then you will want to use the Droid 3 One Click root. The instructions I used are here:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/3216-roo...-click-added-for-windows-linux-osx/#post75934
As for ROMs I would definitely try a few out. I am currently running Rev's CM7 build. I uses the GB kernel unlike the official CM7 nighties. Once you are rooted download ROM Toolbox and you will find it in there. I would also highly recommend Boot Manager. This app lets you install different ROMs to your SD card. Great for trying out new ROMs without messing up your current installation. I am running CM7 on my phone with Apex and MIUI ICS in two slots on Boot Manager.
Just be careful, there are some ROMS that run on the Froyo kernel and others that run on the GB kernel. If you flash the wrong one you may end of having to SBF back to stock, reroot, etc. Not hard but it is a pain.
Good luck!
Hey thanks! I really appreciate your reply. I'll be sure to try all of this stuff later tonight. I'll just post here if I have any problems. (hopefully not)
