So the time has come that I need to do an SBF on my phone. I've done it before (most recently back in Febuary when I had bricked my phone), but that was when my phone was running Froyo. My question is, can I use the same process I used to Sbf my phone when it was running froyo to one that is now running GB?

There isn't a SBF for GB, you have to SBF back to Froyo, then root, then reflash GB leak....if wanted.

So I went ahead and did an SBF on my phone back on Tuesday. Things seem to have gotten worse. I receive most of my text messages more than once (I received one yesterday 26 times), my phone is chronically low on memory (never more thamn 20% available) and it runs super slow much of the time. What gives? Oh, and I'm running Zombie Stomped 1.7 if that helps.

sounds like after you sbf'ed you didn't go into the stock recovery and wipe data and cache.

I'm runnning fission overclocked at 1200 and its running fast as hell, but when I flash any other rom with cache and data wipe the screen will freeze and a battery pull is required. I've done a full sbf and still a no go, but after I restore my backup I made w fission its running like a top again, is there something else I can do to fix this

What ROM are you flashing? I had this problem when I tried Liberty, both versions. That's why I just went back to fission. I like some of the other features liberty has, but if there are stability issues that's a deal breaker for me. For example, my phone would reboot while on phone calls sometimes.
If for some reason you were suspecting the overclock, I had these issues stock.
I'm running liberty 1.5 and it is the most stable rom i've ever used, so I would count unstability out. Have you tried redownloading the ROM? Perhaps something happened to it during download.
Happened to me but when I tried to flash Fission .....went back to Liberty

Yes it was liberty, I found once I formatted the sd card and reflashed all problems solved, thanks for the response guys.

Is it safe to nand flash back to stock-rooted FroYo from leaked deodexed Gingerbread? I ask because I keep reading about folks needing to sbf to get back and the inability to flash other ROMs from the leaked GB. I guess what I'm not clear on is what the bootloader version matters, especially related to nand backup.

That's a great question.. I would like to know, too.
from what i have read on another forum, you need to sbf due to the fact that the kernels are different.
No it is not safe you will brick your device.

You flashed from gb 2.3.3 leak, back to froyo?
Rooted Droid X loving Gingerbread...

He flashed the madderstock.zip file. This is almost exactly the same as an sbf except it is in zip form. You CANNOT flash anything else from froyo or you WILL brick your device

If he got it from the TBH app it is the full system 2.3. 340monster zip. It CAN be flashed to get back to froyo BUT:
1) Maderstock zip CANNOT? They are two different filrs.
2)) if you want to go back to Gingerbread and you used the monster zip, you MUST sbf before doing so or you will likely soft brick your phone.
All this has been tried by experienced folks so the rest of us don't get surprises.

One way would be to sbf to froyo and then upgrade via ota. I don't know if there is a gingerbread sbf out there. Search the forum for how to sbf and google for the file.

The 602 file is rooted stock. On the tbh app or at mydroidworld or probably on here. Sbf to froyo,root,bootstrap, install 2 part 602. Stock rooted.
Across the airwaves via DarkslideX in 602 limbo.......
Hi guys. I am in the process of flashing a ROM for my wife's D2. From all of my reading on here, it seems she should be on 2.3. However her system is still 2.2. Am I misinformed? I've hit the system update on her phone, but it says her phone is up to date. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

2.2 = Android verion
2.3.2 = Verizon update
I'm in the same situation, I'm on android 2.2 and system update says no update available. ..
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
You can be rooted and still receive an update, correct? I know you would lose root privledges, but I am trying to remember if I had to unroot or not.
I'm not able to get the update either (which is basically all I should be writing in this post), but I'm going to just attribute that to my flashing the tbh all in one back to froyo.

I think you need to be unrooted and have all stock apps.
So what's the update really I mean,i have android 2.2 and I think the gb is not released officially am I wrong?i have ee4

Android 2.3.3 aka Gingerbread is now available to all via OTA.
Since when, cuz a few days ago I was stock on ee4 now I'm on gumny and never saw any update msssage
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App
I'm rooted, and the update downloaded by itself. Of course, the only way I'm gonna install it is when a version of cm7 GB is out that has amazing battery life.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
Which that wouldn't even work bc its not rootable.

The CM7 has a version for the OTA GB. I've been running it since I ran the OTA.

Root using D3 method, then install the latest CM7 Nightly. I'm running it right now, overclocked to 1.3ghz. This phone is stupid fast and the battery life is killer.
This may be silly, but I'm interested in upgrading from the Froyo Kernel to the Gingerbread Kernel on my rooted droid x. I really wanna play around with roms that are based off of the gingerbread one. What's the easiest way of doing this without having to sbf?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I'm not sure that you can without SBFing. You may be able to use a Gingerbread AIO.

Why are you afraid to SBF? its easier than flashing a rom
Doing an SBF scares me bc if I do ONE wrong step it can brick they phone. Flashing a rom might do something glitchy to your phone, but it won't comepletely brick it. Not to mention if you can boot into Clockwork mod you're always safe. Anyway, I HAVE done Froyo SBF's a couple of times when I've done stupid things to my phone in the past, but I always wait to use that as a last resort.

If your SBF messes up.. Just SBF again.
The Droid X cannot be bricked. Anything that goes wrong with your Droid X can be fixed with a simple SBF. It's easy and only takes fifteen minutes.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
The SBF process really isn't any where near as complex as many make it seem.
The "OMG RISKY" warnings are likely for their own protection and so that they don't get chewed out JUST IN CASE you brick your device.
-Reliable Cord.
-If using a laptop, make sure it's charged.
-Make sure your phone is charged.
And you'll be fine.

Rom Toolbox by Jrummy has an AIO updater file that will work.
