Froyo 2.2

Alright so I am trying to install the new leaked version of froyo 2.2 I need to upgrade my radio to 2.x I have followed all instructions and when i boot into recovery i just get a bunch of green warnings one of which is imagine not found or something like that it moves to fast to read. Any suggestions someone? I have tried to post this in that forum but its way to busy and it just gets lost with no response.

Did you root the leaked Mota before trying to apply the zip?

Neither do I. Typo. The stock keyboard sux. So you are rooted? That should clear up problems. If not, then it wont work.

Unroot, apply ota , reroot, apply froyo.
Ps. Apparently Mota is the autocorrect for ota on my phone.

You're probably having the same issue I did at first...plug your phone in to your PC, mount your sdcard, save anything off of it that you need, and reformat it as FAT32...the phone formats it as straight FAT. Reload PB31IMG.zip onto the root of your card and try again.
Have fun.

I just switched to a different msd card and it work now im stuck on getting the radio flashing after I unrooted i swear this phone has it out for me
EDIT!
All is working perfect now I am now running Froyo 2.2

Gbread 595 Anyone?

Morning all,
Is anyone running the Gbread 595 leak yet? I am thinking about trying it out this morning, as everything I read indicates it will be the launching point for what could be the official 596 release on the 13th.
Let me know if you have any observations on this.
Thanks,
Steve

I downloaded it yesterday, and am running liberty v.5 on top of it and I love it. It is really fast, and other than a few bugs with my contacts syncing up with facebook, I am having no problems.

Im gonna wait it out, till we get the official release... Apex2.0.0 is pretty sweet for now

I agree. Apex is amazing. I will wait for it to update

Weird issue I am running into....
I upgraded to 588 with no problems from 340 Froyo. I used DroidX recovery to accomplish this. When I rebooted 588 I tried to go to 595. I tried using DroidX recovery but this did not allow me to boot into recovery...it only gave me a blank screen. When I got back to 588 I uninstalled DroidX recovery and then installed Droid2 recovery. I was then able to reboot into recovery and try to install 595. The install aborted saying it was looking for 3 arguments and got 4.
Any ideas? Which recovery should I be using thoughtout this?
Thanks,
Steve

Both recoveries (AFAIK) are the same clockwork recovery, it's just a different method of "bootstrapping" so that you can get into the recovery. Droid2 bootstrap works on gbread unless USB debugging is disabled, then droidx bootstrap works.
Sounds like you got a bad file.

Just redownload the file and it should work

Yes the one I downloaded yesterday was bad, and a new one was uploaded. I just downloaded the new one and am going to try again to move back up to 595. Once that happens I am hanging on til the 13th.
I would assume once this official update comes out then VZW will no longer support the DX with official updates. We really need to get Moto to unlock the bootloader for us, so we can continue to develop for the DX.
Steve

I have made it successfully to 595. I am having a problem with Gingerbreak 1.2, so I am betting there is something in 595 that doesnt allow it to root.

P3Droid released three different versions of .595: full stock, rooted and odexed, and rooted and deodexed.
You can try flashing one of the rooted .595 releases.

Yes it looks like the rooted ones will accept Gingerbreak. I may go back to .591 and hold there until the official OTA version comes out.

You shouldn't need Gingerbreak on the rooted ones, as they are already rooted.

If you are going to flash a rooted version what do you need gingerbreak for?

So you're not running it at all then... lol. You downgraded it back to .591 when you installed Liberty.

Curious, I'm running .573 now, if I flashed the latest rooted & deoxed, do I really have to sbf back to Froyo before hand like I've read in other places? OR can I just flash over it and roll on?

You only need to flash back if you don't have root, I believe.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

Not having luck.
I tried to install, initially from my rooted deoxed stock .340 to rooted deoxed .595, first got a corrupted file report....would not upgrade.
Next got boot loop (repeating M), so SBF back to stock 340...Rooted and tried again with the same file and got a very unstable phone, reboots etc.
The only thing I can think of is that the phone was stock rooted but not deoxed, so when I tried loading the deoxed version it didn't like it? no idea.
I did a wipe before each load but can't seem to get it to work on my phone. My phone is very new.
SBF'd back to stock unrooted and I'll leave it like that to see if I can get the update from VZW.

I believe you have to start at .588 (or .573) then flash .591 over it, then flash .595 over it.

I'm on 2.2 and waiting. Just not convinced about 595 and getting the update. How do we know its going to be 596.

Not completely accurate.. I went from .588, to .595 without any adverse effects. Phone is a bit snappier than before too, app drawer scrolls more fluidly, etc.

Got the Offical GB OTA for my Droid X, How do we root??

So I got the official GingerBread OTA (Build 596) last night but I can't root it using gingerbreak and I use my phone to tether wirelessly on my tablet all day.
So my question is Has anyone rooted these build of GB and how?
Thanks

I'm in the same boat as you. (got a replacement phone today and the wife updated it before I got home) I assumed there would be a simple way to root after the OTA but it looks like for now that isn't the case. I'm just going to wait a few days and see what happens.

Luckily .596 uses the same boot loader as froyo .340 so you can simply sbf the phone back to .340 then reroot and update to the prerooted .596 that p3droid posted on mdw.

SBF and root. Then you can flash the rooted version. Pm me if you need instructions on how to SBF.
Tethering using the official app costs money but there are other tethering apps

Oh ok, so like where can i find the other apps, n are they free? Also my phone was rooted n i was runnin the stock rom but i just sbf'd the fone and updated to 2.3 ota, can i still root my fone with the z4root? Or do i have to wait for something else?

Sbf the phone then follow instructions here (video tutorial included)

That thread has saved my arse dozens of times so far and Im not to proud to say ive it bookmarked and reference it a lot. Thanks a million for that thread

The GB OTA is not rootable.......yet. If you want 596 and root SBF back to 340 and install the pre-rooted 596,or wait for the devs to get it.

[Q] z4 Rooted Droid X to Gingerbread

I have a Droid X that I have rooted using z4 Root. Will I have any problems if I un-root and then download and install Gingerbread? I realize that z4 Root can't root Gingerbread yet, but I was wondering if I could just un-root and then install the update and just wait to re-root it when z4 Root can do it? It seems like people are having issues with the X even though they un-root before they update. Why is this? Thank you all for your time. I appreciate it.

People usually have problems updating because they have deleted or frozen bloat in their system folder.
If you unroot, and replace any bloat you may have removed, you should be able to update without a hitch.
After you download the OTA Gingerbread you won't be able to gain root again. The only option is two flash a two part prerooted install of .596 Gingerbread provided by Team Black Hat.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

Thank you much. I shouldn't have any problem then because I haven't frozen or deleted anything. Is the z4 Root developer going to try to make a version of z4 Root that will root Gingerbread?

I for one hope so. I want to be on Gingerbread, but the OCD in me wants the OTA.

Question- OTA? What does it stand for?

Over The Air.

I unrooted with z4 Root and did a wipe and a restore to factory reset. I tried to update to GingerBread 4 times but all four times it failed. Somehow, even in the return to factory wipe, ClockworkMod Recovery stays on the Droid X. Why? I think it is the ClockworkMod Recovery that is preventing me being able to update to GingerBread. Do you think that might be the cause? In other words, resetting it to factory condition doesn't really reset to factory condition. How do I fix this? Should I just stay rooted with z4 Root and wait for a way to update to GingerBread from you guys? I'm just not sure what to do. Thanks for your time. I'm running Android Version 2.2.1 with a System Version of 2.3.340.MB810.Verizon.en.US.

Root froyo with z4 then follow directions on this thread

i thought you wanted to update to gb? why would you want to stop it?
why dont you just update to the pre-rooted gingerbread. see here http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...-5-596-release-thread-something-everyone.html

I want to stop it because I have tried to install it 4 times and it has failed to install on all four attempts. It won't install so I don't want to waste the time and the data.

The link is not working for me either

Follow the instructions below to return to froyo or upgrade to gb rooted or not.
Check out these links.
Link 1 makes a linux CD that you can use to SBF back to Froyo in about 10 minutes. This is a very easy method to get back to froyo. If you can burn an iso file to a CD then you can do this method.
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/d...-solution-your-windows-rsd-lite-problems.html
Then you can use z4root and install pre-rooted GB using the 2 flash method at link 2. Make sure that you use Droid 2 bootstrapper and not Droid X bootstrapper to install the rooted GB.
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/05/28/download-official-droidx-gingerbread-4-5-596-for-rooted-users/
Follow the instructions closely for ensured success.
This can all be done in about 30 to 45 minutes depending on your computer skills.

Gingerbread rom updating question.

Hey guys, I have a question about upgrade to other Roms from a rooted gingerbread ver. 4.5.573
I already have Droid 2 bootstrapped and have this version rooted. So would I be able to just upgrade via bootstrapped straight to a new rom?

Do u have clockwork recovery installed? If not, download "rom manager" from market place, and install clockwork. And from there u should be set, however u may need to update to a newer version of gb, the newer roms are running on to of .595 & .596.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA Premium App

at this point you may really want to consider getting up to a .596 base before flashing a newer rom. liberty for example is only going forward on the .596 build, they even pulled earlier gb versions (v.01-5) from their toolbox as those were all built on the earlier gb leaks
once you make a reliable .596 backup you should find it much easier to switch between roms, tbh app now has a one step zip to take you to .596 rooted from any other framework.

OK, now HERE's my question. Cause I have NO CLUE what I'm running anymore -.-
First thing: I'm running system version: 4.5.573.MB810.Verizon.en.US
So does this mean I have a order cracked version?
Second thing: I have a droid strapper backup of rooted froyo, so if I do need to go back to froyo, can I just load up this backup?? or do I need to sbf back?

Thanks, Yeah figured out that my sbf was corrupt re-did it with new file and now working on .596
AND JUST AN FYI to those people who are wondering about the recovery for the 2 part gingerbread update: you choose "install from .zip file" not install update.zip
Do that 2 times, part1 then part2. If it doesnt boot up the first time after you exit, pull battery and reboot again. worked for me the second time
