Hi people,
I've just got my sgs i9000, but it's still running 2.1!!
And it's running BVJM1..
How do I go about getting it to 2.3?

as i understand it 2.1 and 2.2 are the same(in the upgrade method to 2.3) so as i see it you have 2 options.
1. do it with kies.
2. upgrade to gingerbread stock or any custom rom with odin so to get the gingerbread bootloaders.
here is a link to a guide to get gingerbread 2.3.4

I just got my EVO and I want to get Froyo 2.2 on it. I haven't accepted the OTA update from sprint. I want to root my phone and get a custom Froyo 2.2 rom without Sense on it. What would be the best process for me to follow?
Root the phone first and they apply a 2.2 rom, or could I just put one of the custom 2.2 rom's on it as is. Thanks.

Root first! Don't apply the update.

Ok so I will root it, is it better for toast 1 or toast method 2 for full system root??? After that I can flash one of the Froyo 2.2 ROM's that have been cooked since the official update realeased today?
I'm coming from a TouchPro 2 so I have to get used to this process now. I got Froyo 2.2 on my HD2, but that's about to be returned to T-Mobile since I got my EVO.
Thanks.

Hey guys quick question,
After reading on several sites about the android 2.2 for the epic that was released on googles servers I flashed to that. So, I'm on android 2.2 now and 1) am wondering if it was a real rom or if it was just a leak and 2) why didn't we get the puzzle piece lockscreen like the captivate vibrant etc.?
Thanks for your help
Edit: I'm currently on dk28

1) leak, it isn't "official" unless sprint provides it
2) different pieces are scattered between galaxy s phones, find someone to port it as an add-on
Thanks so much for your help. One last question: will I receive the"official" update ota even though I'm on this leaked rom? Do I need to flash back to stock 2.1?

Have to be on 2.1 to get the ota.
Have a question. I'm running a rooted Droid X on Verizon wireless running Android 2.2.1. I'm currently running Liberty 2.0.1 right now on the device. Is there a way to put a gingerbread ROM on my phone so I can be running gingerbread? Right now verizon doesn't have an update to push my phone to a 2.3, but is there a way I can manually do this? I only ask cause I also have a HTC Desire running cyanogenmod7 and it made my phone go from 2.2 to 2.3 and I'm curious if there is a way for me to do this with the droidx on verizon and if so where can I download it from?

Liberty for gb will take u from froyo to gb, but u will have to purchase donated toolbox from the market, well worth it if u ask me

Do you want liberty gingerbread or just stock gingerbread. Google gingerbread and you should find the last update. I do know it went public and you just flash it like a rom. I read about thus today on an android website just not sure wich one. Might of been android central.

You can find the gingerbread files on google, or check the site in my sig for the files. It's a 3 part file, is pre-rooted, flashable in clockwork mod recovery. There's also an update (.591) to the 3 part file listed on there, but must be flashed after.
Hey,
I'm coming from a rooted Thunderbolt and I understand a bit about flashing different roms, but this seems different.
My little brother decided that he wanted to update his Froyo X to the leaked gingerbread before it was rooted. Well, he did. But now he's getting random reboots and wants to either move back to Froyo or just move to something stable. What exactly needs to be done to do this?
Like I said, I have a rooted thunderbolt so I was exposed to using adb to get root. Would the process be similar in this case? Also, is there a way to flash back to Froyo without doing a full data wipe? He said he didn't do a wipe when he installed gingerbread.
Do a search on how to SBF for the Droid X. You can "sbf" back to stock froyo and reroot with z4root app. From there, he can upgrade to stable rooted GB or stay at froyo. If you'd like to know how to upgrade to a rooted version of GB, visit mydroidworld.com and there's lots of info there on how to do so and all the files you need.

I just had a shift 2.3.3 and spent a day or so bringing it back to 2.2 with root and the clockwork boot manager.
But how do i get a 2.3.3 or newer ota or as close to factory rom as possible to work with root?
I saw a rom called synergy which looks similar.
Sparksco has a rooted ota ROM in ROM manager 2.3.4
mik 2.1 executive edition

If you want the newest OTA 2.3.4 just rooted. Then Sparksco has the newest Rom in Rom Manager, as turkbot stated. Although if you go that route you will not have WiFi / USB Tether. You will just be on the Newest OTA 2.3.4 and Rooted. If you want a Rom that's based off the newest OTA but very close to Stock. Then newSense is what you want. Very close to Stock with extras, and very reliable. MikShifted G , not Stock. Many extras, and very reliable.
