HELP With Installing Froyo 2.2 on R00TED Wildfire...

Right so as far as I am aware I have just r00ted my phone with unrevoked3.
I need help in installing the custom 2.2 Froyo ROM and also advice on how I'm able to check if the phone has been successfully r00ted? Apologies if similar threads have been started before but I couldn't find anything relating to this via the search tool. I have access to both Windows 7 and Mac so which ever OS is easier to use just let me know...
Thanks Peeps!

If you can see the superuser icon in your app drawer then its rooted

Thanks for your reply Michealtbh...
I noticed that SuperUser with a Ninja Icon, also I am able to do... su <enter> in a command terminal and the result I get is #
Hopefully everything is okay with r00t but how do I go about putting Froyo 2.2 on it? Do I need to flash it with a custom 2.2 ROM as I debranded my Wildfire a while ago as I got it from T-Mobile.
Any help with putting 2.2 on my Wildfire would be appreciated!

The reason for me upgrading to 2.2 Froyo is I had an over the air update which was pushed to my phone. After installing this firmware update my phone no longer works on WiFi and the only net connection I can get is through 3G/HSPDA. Prior to the update my WiFi worked fine, I do not have an option to enable my WiFi through the settings menu as it is not highlighted an will not allow me to select it as an option. I did a factory reset and this did not fix my problem with the WiFi and now T-Mobile are saying to send it off for repair/reflash.
I take it this over the air update needs a follow patch to fix the bugs but I might as well just r00t my phone an upgrade to 2.2 Froyo (if possible) instead for all the messing about its worth...

Yeah you'll need to flash a custom rom to get froyo. There are many guides on how to do that here in the forums. There are also quite a few different roms to choose from, have a look in the wildfire development section and see which one appeals to you

Thanks again m8, big help Bro!

I have now managed to upgrade to 2.2 Froyo with the help from Michealtbh and the threads on this forum. Mod can now feel free to delete this thread. Thanks once again!

New to android, have a couple of quick ROM related questions.

I'm new to the Android experience and I'm loving it so far. But I wanted to ask about ROM's. I understand they're a modified version of the android OS (no?). What I wanted to is that if you needed an external storage to install a ROM on your phone. If so whats the minimum size? Also does adeo work with 4.1.57? or are we still waiting for a developer to release an update?
Thanks for any sort of help you can can give me =)

you do not need any extra space, it replaces the existing software/build.
However, the likelyhood that you will see any true ROMs for this phone are close to zero. The real thing to realize is that you really don't need them. Unless you like modding your phone for fun, or overclocking, or whatever it isn't needed. You can mod a lot of stuff with just root, and honestly most of the stuff people want, can be done without whole new ROMs.
as far as adeo, no idea, check the thread on it. Never touched it myself.

I'm trying to get GingerBlur on my phone, apparantly I am required to have adeo for that.

Why do people think that? You do NOT need Adeo for Gingerblur. How did your get that idea????

Adeo and gingerblur do not work on 1.57 there is a way to deodex 1.57 and I think they're working on or already have the recovery/reboot options available for 1.57 also I believe Ken is working on gingerblur to work on 1.57 as far as ROMs with the CWM there might be ROM development in the near future using the current kernel

GingerBlur 1.1 works on 1.5.7. However, you need the bootstrap recovery apk from the Android Dev section. The Gingerblur installer auto-deodexes your phone. However, you need an SD card to put GingerBlur on
This phone doesn't need all of the ROMs people want. It's a super fast phone, even without overclocking. My other two phones, the Captivate and Inspire, needs to be modded to function well. Says a lot about the quality of the devices
The true ROMs (Cyanogen, Cognition, Serendipity, whatever else there is) might never, ever be usable on this phone. This device has a signed bootloader, and we can't install custom kernels while it is signed. One of the only ways we might get around this is if Motorola pulls their heads out of their asses.

Is there any threads that go over how to install bootstrap recovery? How large does my SD card need to be?

I would recommend at least 4 GB. Anything less will probably get filled up quite quickly. I bought mine from buy.com for an extremely cheap price. Hell, you can get a 16GB for ~$20 on Newegg.
This is the link to the CWM recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1019143
You need to have sideloading enabled. That isn't hard, just follow this second link to root and update to 1.5.7 correctly.
You need to be rooted, and at 1.5.7. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016060
This is a guide to getting root on the newest update. This is the direction you must use:
1.2.6 SBF Flash -> Root 1.2.6 (using retainroot from the second link) -> update your phone OTA with 1.5.7 -> run the afterupdate.bat from retainroot -> install CWM recovery -> put GingerBlur.zip on SD card -> boot into CWM recovery and install zip from SD card.
It seems complicated, but you'll get used to it.
This si the micro sd card I purchased: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ..._re=16gb_micro_sd_card-_-20-211-379-_-Product
It's a Class 6 - 16GB, for only $28. It's almost criminal not to buy it! Mine works great so far

[Q] Liberty Toolbox Donate 2.2 ???

I have not have much good experience with GB in the past on different phones... so i am wondering if i can use the donate version to put the Liberty 2.2 ROM on my Droid X, until I am comfortable with GB enough to go for the latest version. I have a stock 2.2 rooted and have seen and heard all the good that comes out of liberty.... i am just wondering if (given that i will do a Titanium Backup) if i can just use the donate version to install the ROM with out having to go to through a computer....
I do know that if i ever need to go back to stock i will have to SBF back but i just hear some many good things about how easy this app is to do the ROM, but i see no mention of anyone starting from stock.
Any answers that y'all would have would be much appreciated
Thanks for everything
-Allmaechtig

You don't need to buy the donate version to get froyo liberty. It is in the free version and you can find the download on several sites

If you only want Froyo, then just the free version will do. (just wipe data/cache and back up first when asked)
If you want GB, donate is best since New updates come once in a while. But a mayor update was getting faster 3g access when upgrading to GB

Should I update my ATRIX ?

Should I risk to update my unblocked, rooted and sideload enabled ATRIX or not (on the next possible update) ?
As the ATRIX is my first smartphone, I am still not so experienced on the smartphone / Android level. So I would would like to hear your opinions and experiences and ideas.
Would like to give some explanations first. I spent quite some time reading the xda threads and implementing these ideas. Result: my ATRIX is in a very "nice" condition now: Unblocked, rooted and sideloading enabled. I cleaned some annoying apps, did some fine-tuning (all thanks to the xda forum) and I am really happy with this nice little masterpiece of technology.
There are two update possibilities I am talking about:
- Build number (actually on my phone OLYFR_U4.1.8.3)
- Android version (actually 2.2.2)
According to the threads here in the forum, already the build number will get me back to unrooted. Can imagine what a Android version could do.
- So is it really worth ? All the hussle again after the update.
- How can I prevent (just in case) an update ?

Updating to 4.1.83 will also put you on 2.2.2.
You will lose root.
If you have uninstalled any Moto apps you will have to sbf 4.1.26 or 4.1.57 first. If you have frozen any Moto apps, you can just thaw them.
Personally I would back everything up, screenshot your home screens so you can set them up the same in worst case scenario of a wipe,, then go for it.
What all have you done to your phone up to now? i.e. gingerbreak, gladenable, theme......

What update are you asking about if you have 4.1.8.3? Are
you asking about the Gingerbread update? I won't update it
until the functionalities that I currently have are available on
that build.

If you already have it, why are you asking if you should update to it???

For safety, unroot your phone first

+1 It sounds like you are already up-to-date. The version you posted is the same one your running.

Will explain my idea better
Sorry. As English is not my native language, I noticed that I explained wrong. Let me try better:
Yes. I am up to date. If I am updated, I do not know, but my ATRIX is ;-). 4.1.8.3 and 2.2.2. But ...
... as we read a lot about an upcoming Android Gingerbread for our Atrix, I am sunk in thoughts what should I do (when it happened !).
Actually everything is perfect on my Atrix, after a potential update probably not anymore. So will it be worth to update ? And to get everything back to "normal" (rooted, sideload, ...), the risk to brick the phone ...
Of course nobody really knows now, but how was it in the past with other Motorola smartphones ? For example the update from 2.1 to 2.2 ? What was your experience ?
Anyway. There is still my question, how can I disable an automatic update ? Would be happy, if somebody knows.

Solution for disable update 2.2.2
Just found a solution (already prooved if working ?) by WiredPirate in the xda forum
Titanium Backup
<backup/restore< "click to edit filters"< filter by name: "updater"< apply< updater2.2.2< freeze!

DO NOT FREEZE UPDATER
Sorry for caps - I've done it before & my battery life was shocking - Although i did freeze it after i started to get notifications to update

So what to do ?
- Update (when an update will be availiable) ? and all the work to get it back to rooted etc
- No update ? and to keep the Atrix like it is (as it is running fine)
Tell me.

I plan on waiting for the update to be out for awhile and read what others are saying about it.
Once they know how to get root, I'll update.
Keep in mind Titanium Backup can backup/restore just about everything after a wipe so it wouldn't be too much work..

I think this next update will be very much worth the hassle of rooting it again (you won't have to worry about sideloading - AT&T is going to enable it). I've read somewhere that for the gingerbread version, motorola's priority was for performance and this next version of motoblur isn't as bad as froyo's. Not only that, but gingerbread can make the 2 cores on the atrix work on every app, not only dual-core-optimized ones, and of course bug fixes, optimizations, etc. "Everything" should improve overall.
I'm in the same boat as you are (sim-unblocked, rooted, sideloaded) and when it goes live, i will wait a couple days before updating to see what people say about it. The only case i won't update it is if it removes sim-unblocking, which i doubt it will. Enabling root will be done eventually, these devs are awesome.

When Gingerbread for the Atrix comes out, you'll lose your root if you update. However, Gingerbread will enable sideloading, which is a huge reason for many AT&T users to root anyway. You will have to go back to stock 2.2.2 in order to receive the OTA update to Gingerbread. It's your decision as to update or not, but I think that the benefits of Gingerbread outweigh the downsides of losing root, etc.

I would say wait for the update, let others who knows what they are doing do the update and root etc. then read the thread and update if/when needed. At least that's my approach. I like Gingerblur 4 on my Atrix.

[Q] Please look at it. Is it only way to get a rooted droid pro??

Hello there,
I'm in S.Korea where is too difficult to use droid pro, but I got it because it looks awesome.
Anyway, I have some questions.
1. Paying TBH is the only way to get a rooted gingerbread??
If so, I'll use froyo otherwise. Sorry, I don't have paypal account.
2. Is TBH a team which made some kinds of crack for droid pro??
3. What is GB? CM7? SBF?
4. What is the version number for Froyo and Gingerbread??
Mine says 2.2.1, is it Froyo?
If so, what is the highest number within Froyo?
I have been a iPhone user, so I'm not familiar with Android.
Thank you in advance.

1. Yes so far
2. Yes. Minus the crack part. It's just a rooted ROM.
3. GB GingerBread, CM7 CyanogenMod (ROM still in Alpha stage), SBF: A file that has a complete ROM image.
4. Froyo 2.2.2, Gingerbread 2.3.3
Now do some research in the forums XDA is an awesome source of information.
