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.

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.

Could you link me to that zip? Cause I have black hat release but the version says its: 4.5.573_MB810 is there a newer one?

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?

pull battery, enter stock recovery, wipe data, reboot
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

Did you make a backup? You should be on the 2.1 kernal if you got 2.2 from rom manager.

If you havent updated to the 2.2 OTA you shouldnt have any problem using the 2.1 SBF as far as i know.

The 2.2 in Rom Manager is a leak, you need the 2.1 sbf

I'm on the 2.3.320 leak, not going to .340 until an SBF comes out.

if you're on tranq 3.5.1 you're already on .340
I guess I am glad I didn't upgrade to .320
Sort of....
I had no idea Tranquility 3.5.1 had 2.3.340. I donate to several ROM teams (why not) and I am looking to see what Team DeFuse does with Fission 2.3->2.x build, hopefully it will include 2.3.340 soon. I really like the speed of their ROM.
so basically this .340 update is the same as the leak version? so if i manually somehow updated to this .340 am i able to use the latest sbf file?
3.40 is not the same as 3.20!
Personally, I'd like to know what the difference is between the two. I have the 3.20 leak and the 3.20 sbf but can I use them once i go to 3.40?
If there is any difference in .320 and .340 (beyond Madden of course) it isn't readily apparent. Someone can try doing a diff on the system files between Tranq 3.5.1 and stock .320, but the bootloader and kernel are the same. The baseband hasn't changed at all since 2.3.15.
When is the update going live?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
As per Droid Life>>> DROID X 2.2.1 Update Will Be Available Tonight?
My question is, will I see the update?
I have flashed the leaked VRZ_MB810_2.3.32_1FF_01.sbf, I am not rooted and haven't removed any apps.
If u updated with TBH leak version you will have to wait for there patch or fix or whatever it is they are doing before you will be able to get the OTA.
I just got the DX update. I never signed up for the feedback network either. I pulled it.
Anyone know if we should hold off? dont want to lose root for good....
can you post the zip please?
Installed the update and lost root. It's also rebooting into clockwork recovery after powering down and back up. Reboot system option works. I was just rooted, no ROM or themes.

if clockwork mod is working then maybe you can reroot with an update.zip?
someone i follow on twitter @bandroidx says he has the update.zip
thanks but I mean a download link for the update.zip like @ megaupload/etc. He just says he got the update thats all. I keep getting download check not available.

Afraid I don't have this. I do have a nandroid backup and the .320 sbf. Can I restore the backup or flash the sbf if need be? Don't want a bricked phone...
Am pretty sure that I am booting into recovery because of how koush's bootstrap works. It was installed and since I don't have root it can't complete it's thing. In this case it might be a good thing
Z4root is supposedly working, try that.
i have Motorola droid 2 on 2.2 rooted with bootstrap recovery, everything was workin fine till i decided to install custom rom, which was unleashed epic 2.5 (by mat) and now everytime i turn on my phone it goes into a loop reboots and never turns on all the way.
i have tried using sbf RSDlite to restore it, tried using linux ubuntu(newk8600 method ty btw) method as well to restore it, none seems to work i keep getting errors whenever i try to do it.
however before i installed the custom rom i did full backup using bootstrap recovery but the only way (that i know) to get in recovery is using bootstrap app, so is there a way i can manually get into bootstrap recovery so i can restore from backup?
please let me know, or if you have different method i'll appreciate your help. thanks in advance.
Which version of the software did you have before you installed epic unleashed, and which SBF did you use?
From what I have heard, Epic Unleashed will "brick" your phone if you try to install it on the 2.3.20 build. Since your phone did get bricked, it's likely that you are running 2.3.20 and not 2.2. You might want to make sure you are using the 2.3.20 SBF to flash your phone, and not the 2.2 SBF (which won't work because the kernel changed between the two)...
What type of errors do you get?
i always have luck getting into clockwork recovery by having my phone plugged in and within the first few seconds taking out my battery forcing it to take along time booting after the M logo and hence putting it into clockwork. I hope this helps
after you get passed the M pull the battery then boot back up it should come up in to recovery
thank you all for your help, however i tried all of these steps already, but i found another way to get it workin, here is the solution to whom got the same problem as mine.
its not letting me post the link for some reason, anyway just search for (Droid 2 Global SBF File (2.4.29) Full and RSDLite ).
just got relased today , big thanks to team Black Hat and MyDroidWorld
hope that helps.
Glad you got it fixed. Let me ask you something though. Before you installed the custom rom, did you wipe data and cache? Not doing so could result in a bootloop.

Sounds like the OP was trying to install a ROM for the original Droid 2 on the Droid 2 Global. It wouldn't have worked, no matter what install steps were used.

It's all good people need to read where they are posting this is in the D2 General section not the D2 Global general section. That's half his problem, he's been looking at ROMs for the original D2 not the device that he currently uses.

More than likely you'll have to AND back to froyo
Anyone seeing a failed update? It made it through the download and rebooted probably went a quarter of the way and the triangle with exclamation point rebooted and reported failure.
went back to froyo and now im running .596 ,,,,, kind of a hassle but im good to go now

Are you serious????? You were too Damn lazy to search the forums and google on how to fix it? This is the reason we have locked bootloaders. NEVER root your phone again if you aren't going to try to find out how to fix it if it breaks

There's no root available for the OTA.
I am on a Thunderbolt but I am helping some friends today upgrade to a rooted version of GB using P3droid's method listed previously in this Thread. My question is, during the install while in CWMod recovery do I need to format system/data/ and Cache and then Mount system before installing the individual zips? It isn't clear to me in the instructions. A response would be much appreciated, Thanx

Hi everyone, I been reading on this forum for a quiet some time now but never felt the need to create an account to post any questions. because i always find informative threads that help me solved my problems but not this time.
i been helping my friend to tried to install a custom rom on his D2, i wouldnt say im very experienced, but i have done it to couple other phones including a droid x so im kind of familiar with what to do.
so i rooted it, bootstrapped, using rom manager to install cwm, then bootstrapped to cwm recovery, from there wipe data / cache, then install zip from sd.
i tried with cyanogen mod first, but it didnt work, it would get stuck on the m logo after rom is installed, so i sbfed it and repeat the whole process and installed the liberty this time but same thing happened again, so i repeated the whole process again and i tried liquid smooth just now, and it still didnt work.
is there something im missing?
You need to make sure the phone is on gb. Also wipe data/cache/dalvik once before you flash and twice after.
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium
so it has to be 2.3 and above? the system say its 2.2 right now, but the sbf file i used its "vbz a955 2.3.20_1ff" so i assumed it was on gb. is there specific version of gb i need to upgrade to?
thanks for the suggestion
To flash cm7 or any gingerbread rom you have to first be on the ota 2.3.3
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium
ooohh thanks! whats the best way to update to 2.3.3? do you have a link? all the links i see is for 2.3.0
thanks alot hope if works
The best was to update is to sbf to stock 2.2 then accept the ota update. Then once you update you can root, bootstrap then install cm7.
