A noob question, I just received my A7 and went to do the Dexter update. One thing I noticed was I was not able to boot as instructed, so I saw as option to "update" within the A7 it's self. Was this wrong, I did not see any option of doing a full wipe, did I just over lay the new OS from Dexter or should I have done the full wipe and is so how? Thanks.

Dude, You have to follow the instructions AS POSTED for installing Dexters' mods else you invite a whole lot of rant about "beating a dead horse" or something. That means no shortcuts!!!

Hello all,
I really want to get this installed by way of Dexter's Mod...but I am not well versed in this sort of thing. In fact, I know next to nothing about computers.
But I believe I know enough to go through the simple steps outlined in all the posts on this forum...problem is the Mod file appears to be damaged or something everytime I try to save it to my computer. I've ran tests on the file and it looks like something is wrong. Could someone provide a little insight on what I might be doing wrong??? Is there something wrong with the downloads on this site?
Thanks so much
A7
I thinks the file is damaged and I would suggest sending another thread since noone bothered to answer this one. I am pretty savvy and I have had elocity about two weeks and cant get to load dex rom or mod. I would suggest trying another link or seeking advice elsewhere!! good luck!!! Even I have had no luck yet!!

You do realize this post is from January? And the link works fine for me from Dexter's OP, you are downloading elocity mod 1.41 correct, if you still have no luck downloading it I'll repost the zip
Thanks, I did realize it was from January, please post the link!!!! I would appreciate it Im not sure what I may be doing wrong. let me know............
Check contents...
Some of the updates need to be extracted before renaming and loading. Be sure to have a look with a zip utility of some kind, if you see a text file and another zip in the file you downladed...extract then proceed.

Sorry it Took So Long i been busy with the evo and the new synergy rom, but the zip is attached, hope that helps, PM me and questioned should be answered quickly
I feel kind of odd for asking this, but see, I am going on a long roadtrip Monday and the Boinix v 1.3 rom i was using the battery kept going dead so fast no matter how much i re-flashed it. So, I decided to use odin to get back to stalk and wiped all user data and cache and now I am stuck at stock 2.1 update 1.
How did you get Bionix on your phone in the first place?
Just look thru the stickies. It contains all the info you are looking for.

All of this talking, and not many answers.
Mini kies is what you used to get stock froyo, officially.
since you have root, I would backup, wipe, flash a new rom (trigger), and recalibrate your battery. All of which is in my signature.

Ty, I think I will do that because Trigger seems to be one of the best out there as of now.
Non -productive...
Why is the insulting and no-productive comment tolerated here. Te users should not make the decision of if the is the right place for a Question, but rather help and move along. There is a reason that there are forum moderators. I just wish that people knew their place, rather than try to be the forum police.
Glad the answer help, and I hope you have fun on your trip.
just like the title says,
flashboot flash beta.zip
is that right, or do i need something else?
(I used mramirez's auto-script to unlock it, if it makes a diff)
and does anyone know for sure if CM7 has that f%&! motoblur removed?
i know how to use search, but i'm tired and i've been reading all night to get this far, just hoping for a couple of quick answers. If anyone knows i'd appreciate it...
Thanks
impatience is what kills devices.
what exactly do you think CM7 is? of course it has nothing motoblur in it!
as for your flashboot command....ummmm no
follow the directions for flashing a ROM and for the love of pete, read and actually understand what you are doing. dont just blindly follow some damn walkthroughs and expect to be able to get out of any jam
Yes it has ALL motoblur removed. To install do the following
*NOTE* BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING BACKUP YOUR APPS USING TITANIUM BACKUPS, YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA
1. Download Rom manager from the market.
2. Flash Clockwork mod recovery image(first option in the app)
3. When you successfully flashed the recovery(it'll tell you) click the the second option "Reboot in recovery"
4. MAKE BACKUP! In backup and restore ( use volume keys to go up and down and power button to select.)
5. When backup finishes, choose Wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache, then in the advanced menu, wipe dalvic cache.
6. Choose install zip from sd, and choose beta.zip and gAPPs.zip.
7. Then reboot system now and you should boot in to cm7.
haha, i was actually trying to edit my post when you replied cuz i realized that that was a stupid question. my head is tired.
but yo man, i'm doin pretty good for never having picked up a droid until a few hours ago, so i don't wanna hear it. im a big boy if i wanna brick my phone i'll brick my phone.
now starting over...
its the .sbf file i need, and rsdlite, correct?
the problem seems to be that i cant seem to find any .sbf file anywhere related to any of the cm7 beta posts
do you know which post i should be downloading it from?
thanks the info on cm7 tho. thats what i thought cm7 was, i just didnt remember it saying that specifically, but at the time i read it, i didn't really even understand what motoblur was because i had never used a droid before.

aww, dude javi, yer the man...
those were the steps i was looking for for where i am in the whole process
i think i just kinda lost my place
My advice to you is to be careful with yer phone. Flashing stuff, especially if it's CM7 which is not based on anything that the other ROMs are based on, is not something to do lightly. It's in beta, and it has bugs. If you want a working ROM that's similar to stock but deblurred and fast, run Homebase. CM7 is in a testing stage and even though it's a great ROM, and is my daily driver, it's going to have things about it that may bother you if you just want a ROM that works like stock.

have you unlocked your bootloader yet??
thats the first step.
you are definitely quickly on your way to a brick, if you are going completely out of order
and this isnt a 'droid'. its an android phone/device. 'droid' is the name that verizon gave some of their android devices...and has forever tainted the rest of the android devices lines....people keep calling them 'droid' without knowing what it means.
yeah man, i know what i'm doing for the most part. i'm comin from a windows mobile view of things, so its a bit of an adjustment. What about alien? how does that fit in in the whole spectrum of whats available?

step 1. unlock bootloader
step 2. flash recovery (use the fastboot flash recovery method to bypass having to root it)
step 3. flash ROM
step 4. get bored with ROM, flash new ROM
step 5. see step 4
dude, yeah, its unlocked, and yeah, i know what android was. i tried to put it on my htc620 a few years back but couldn't ever get it to boot right with harrier
i do appreciate your concern tho and am grateful for the advice and info i have gotten from u guys already and if ya have anymore please share
sorry: i meant what android is, obviously, not was, and i have actually been around here for a while, i was away for a cpl years and now i cant remember what my screenname was, and my old work email i registered under is disabled, so back to 4 posts, lol
'droid' is one of those pet peeves i have.....one of many
you need to read up on what motoblur is, understand what options the different roms provide you, and pick for yourself.
personally, my atrix sat around collecting dust for months, while i waited on unlocked bootloader and CM7. its running CM7 and i have gone back to using the atrix as my daily phone for now. i couldnt stand motoblur
well, yeah, prob is i wanna get this phone up as quick as possible and yall know it takes a lot of time to go through every suggestion on wut the best method is and then havin to weed through the problems ppl had and try to determine which are actualy problems and which r ppl just bein dumb, and thats just before u start even doing anything.
so just tryin to see if anyone felt like helpin me save some time
---------- Post added at 11:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 AM ----------
dude, nevermind, i just found the right section to be in. I hadnt found the development section yet. thats why i couldnt find any of the official build posts.
hey, its been a while, aiight?
I'll be waiting for this guys first post in the Q & A reading : "FU%K plz help me I bricked my phone!?!" ...I know that's kinda mean, but the fact that the thread is titled Flashboot instead of Fastboot started me thinking.

Right there with you. I verbally corrected someone the other day because they kept saying it repeatedly. Very annoying.

Sorry for hanging out in the Fascinate section, As i am loyal to my I4G... But i have to get my 10 posts before i can post to dev sections regarding my phone and rom... So anyway im gonna flash rom on my brothers fascinate and would like opinions on reliable, stable, Gingerbread 2.3.4+ based rom. Thanks for your understanding.
I am running yesterdays CM7 Nightly (63) with the latest Glitch Kernel and it's hands down the best android experience I've had to date.
Can you provide me with links to a step by step process for this "experience" Please! Thanks you Rudacris

Scroll down to "First time flashing CM 7 to your Fascinate (or coming from another ROM)?" and follow the instructions there.
When you get to step three download the files below
ROM- Download the latest nightly here.
I'm running 63, but I doubt there are many major differences with 64.
Kernel - Latest Glitch Kernel. I'm using the V12 Beta, Medium Voltage
Then follow the rest of the instructions.
I think your quick fuse and assumptions have led us down a path i dont want to go down, i sent you a fried request because I felt like a jack ass? I also corrected the post where i call myself a noob and inflected with italics and underline showing I AM A noob! So can you help me? Thanks for your patience as i am a noob!
EDIT: i think our posts are crossing paths, Ill leave it as Im sorry, and I accept your appologies droidstyle. I am here to learn and have monitored this site regularly, while only recently needing to post in the dev section of my I4G for bug issues, i needed 10 posts to do so... And I learned how to flash my brothers fascinate at the same time! Thanks for your help everyone, and droidstyle is on my "im not mad with" list

thanks you very much!!!!! You rock~
here is a great guide for installing any mtd based gingerbread rom such as cm7,miui, aosp, vgb. The title states its for vanilla gingerbread but it works for any of those roms, just replace vgb v6 with the cm7 nightly build of your choice. The links rudacris posted are spot on also.

when you have a stock kernel it deletes the cwm after reboot.
Follow steps in droidstyles instructions.
sum it up:
Download latest cm7 put it on your sd card
Odin CWM located in post for CM7, on first powerup three finger boot
delete data and cache then go advanced delete dalvik cache
then flash Zip from SD card. when that is done Boom reboot and welcome to CM7
Hi everyone,
Right now I am running the Nyssa Nexus Rom 2.3, but the latest version is version 3.3.1.
Will I be able to update the ROM version without performing a full wipe of my system?
I do not want to go through the hassle of re-installing all my apps.
