My WIFI network at home is visible and it showed full connectivity until I connected to it. It took a while but finally connected then showed no signal and disconnected, then showed full again, then tried to connect again, you get the idea. I have tested this with AOKP and Gummy with the same result. ALSO, I prefer to keep the network hidden but on setup, I hit "Save" it says "Setup has Stopped Working." I have seen this problem on AOKP and Gummy, the two ROMs I prefer at this time.
Root and ROM process I use:
- Started with stock Droid X (.621), SBF'd .604 through Linux (actually Windows the first time then had to call Verizon to fix. They were less than helpful until I got mad. I won't do that anymore)
- Zergrushv4 root through Windows
- Installed Droid 2 Bootstrapper
- Booted into ClockworkMod and formatted the various data's
- Installed ROM (AOKP build-39 is latest)
- Installed .604-to-.621-kernel-update (same result without doing this) <-- Currently running 15p radios if that matters.
- Installed Gapps
- Reset and performed initial setup
For sht's and gigs, I also tried installing the WIFI lib fix (I know it is for Blur) but that prevents AOKP from ever booting. It just sits on the rotating unicorn splash screen until I get bored and cut it off after 10 minutes. From there I have to go back to Linux and SBF .604. Ideas?
I was a noob as of last week but have learned a lot because of these forums. This is the first time I have had to post to get a question answered because there is so much good info out there. I appreciate the mostly accurate and educational information that is openly shared in this community.
EDIT: I tried SBF-ing .621 through RDS in Windows and then .604 in Linux. It is acting the same with Liberty (tried the wifi lib fix), and Cyanogen 7 and 9.
Does it connect to the network when on stock based roms or Gingerbread based roms?

It connects fine with the .621 and the .604 .sbf's
I just tried CM7 and that wouldn't even install (after a fresh .604 load)
I need to find another good Gingerbread to load and try that. Suggestions? Pref not blur
I got Vortex working with the WIFI. I would REALLY like to get away from Blur though. Suggestions?

Vortex is about as close as you can get to a blurless stock based ROM.
Have you tried MIUI to test the WiFi?
There is a Gingerbread version and an Ice Cream Sandwich version.

OK, crisis averted. I don't know 'why' but it is.
Before, when I was trying to get everything working the ROM Manager load of Clockwork wasn't working at all, I was stuck using the Droid 2 bootstrap. For whatever reason I tried using the ROM Manager again to load Clockwork and flashed AOKP to find that everything worked out of the box.

I did try MIUI a while back but didn't care for the UI.
Stupid Noob question. Will it benefit me at all to install the .604 to .621 image update with 2nd init ROMs?

Just bought new Atrix phone and unlocked/rooted flashed CM7.
Before flashing CM i backed up stock ROm which came with phone since i kinda liked it so i can use it later on maybe.
I tried to restore it now and in ClockworkRecovery it started to restore it but somewhere in the process it got stuck saying "cannot restore /system" and leave me no choice but to use custom ROM.
What can be the problem and how to solve it?
thanks
There's no way to answer this question accurately without knowing more information about your setup. Like for example what version of cwm are you using, what version of android were you using....

Currently i run latest CM7 (2.3.7) for Atrix and latest romracer's CW 5, all latest software.
about about loading a blur type rom? like alien? its essentially the same as stock with some upgrades and changes... maybe look into that as well?
nah, i'd stick with stock for a while..

Original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1125944.html
Hi,
I just purchased a used Droid X to replace my mom's OG droid. I read as much as I could on rooting the DX and all that jazz (completely different coming from an HTC by the way... holy hell and I am sorry).
I have already rooted the Droid X, installed boot strap... etc.
Made a backup using recovery.
I searched the forum for "most reliable ROM" and came up with rubix 2.0
I flashed it through recovery and ended up stuck at the boot motorola logo.
Panicked and stressful I have to say! WTF! Now I understand why it sucks so much to have a locked bootloader. You CAN'T boot into recovery to flash your back up! Well at least I couldn't. I tried the home button, search button boot up method and didn't work. I was getting worried....
After reading more... I SBF'd it which is a completely new thing to me. It ended up being easy but it's really lame coming from the Incredible and Thunderbolt. Again, I now feel your pain!
Anyways, I really DO NOT want to go through that again. Do you have any idea how hard it was to find a downloadable SBF file due to the megaupload shutdown!!!! I have just re-rooted after using the SBF file found here: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/09/06/droidx-gingerbread-4-5-602-sbf-released/
So after all that I am just going to ask.
What is the most reliable ROM and what SBF file do I have to download to be compatible with it???
Remember... this is for my mom... I need a reliable, stable, bug free ROM. This ROM will likely be the one she will use indefinitely so please choose one that is as stable as can be.
Thank you for all your help.
That SBF is perfect for the newest roms.
The DX is on .605...but the kernel doesn't change at all so there is literally no change if you accept the OTA or not.
Stable GB Rom...
I haven't messed around with 1st init (blur based) for a long time...so I can't say for certain.
But as far as 2nd init goes...
I'd choose MIUI.
She'll love it.
Actually, I flashed MIUI to my mom's X (who is completely tech-retarded) and she has been on it for a good 3-4 months now...
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/11858-ro...charge-led-updated-bootmenu-charge-while-off/
The newest build includes a working "boot menu" that can get you into CWM from a power-off state if you ever need it.
Also...
Once you flash...
I'd HIGHLY recommend using said bootmenu to set her overclocking speeds / cpu governor.
I assume she won't be to worried about speed...
So I'd either underclock her a tad...
Or leave her at stock.
But be sure to set the CPU governor to "SmartassV2"
The phone sleeps like a champ.
Literally the second you turn the screen off...the phone sleeps...and stays asleep until a notification/screen is turned on.
FANTASTIC battery life due to this.
I mean...stellar battery.
Also, it's VERY stable.
No bugs what-so-ever...
My signature also has a DX specific rom install tutorial if you'd like a refresher on the DX.
The stock ROM isn't bad. We have a few users in my office that still use it and they have no problems at all. I like to flash a lot and I am currently on MIUI (ICS) but I am thinking about going back to Vortex. It is by far the most stable ROM I've found on the Droid X.
The best Blur ROM I flashed was Liberty 3 v2, great speed, battery etc. CM4DXGB is the best ROM I have ran, I have tried most of them and CM7 is my go to daily driver. Great overall performance, very fast, great battery once you get settled in and awesome customizations. I flashed it on my dads phone and he loved it, my Mom still has a flip phone! Haha

I wouldn't try liberty as a new user, there is a lot of customization that can confuse someone IF they aren't experienced. Apex has two days of battery life when calibrated so i would choose apex. no bugs and incredibly smooth!
Edit: Posted this in the wrong forum - removed.

I am currently using MIUI 2012.2.1 after trying liberty and one other. I really like it, but as is expected after rooting, i want to play around. Although after reading your post, not so sure. MIUI really is great. I can go 2 days without recharging if i shut down at night. I did manage to get into a boot loop requiring an SBF etc. This was traumatic, but now i know how my phone works!
So I would like to try CM7. I downloaded the latest for the Droid X. I guess MIUI does not let rom manager install roms so i have to use clockwork. No problem. Is there any thing i need to do special since i am on a 2-init rom? Do i just do a dalvik wipe, then install the zip?

Hello forumites. I did have a thread on the dev forum regarding this but it got deleted (don't know why?) and had little - no - response. Here's hoping this thread bears more fruit... I mean, surely I'm not the only one trying to get this app running?
Bottom line in case you don't know is that you need to use this version of the app and use OTA Voodoo Rootkeeper to hide the root before using the app (Sky has blocked rooted phones from working).
Problem No. 2 seems to be that Sky checks for custom ROMs and kernels so it is very hit and miss as to which handsets will work. So far I have tested MIUI (unsuccessful), MS2Ginger 3.0 (successful but didn't like the ROM) and stock UK GB (via santi's Nandroid backup - unsuccessful). Some guy here has managed to get the app going on a stock ROM so I'm currently flashing the SBF via RSD Lite to see if I get any more joy.
Anyone else here had a go at getting Sky Go working? If so, which ROM are you rocking?
I can assure you it works on the stock rom with Voodoo, eventhough the ROM is pants while Skygo works I will keep it!
I have a Argent3.0stone... I will try
I have MIUI, i will try too..
Managed to get it running by flashing a UK GB SBF but the stock ROM is god-awful. Anyone tried running it under CM9? I know that ICS isn't officially supported but I have heard reports of it working.
Don't use the universal de-blur script because Sky Go doesn't work anymore, only news no sport, it thinks its rooted even with voodoo :-(
i bought cheap milestone 2 and wanted to try CM on it
rooted, installed CWM
tried to flash CM 7.2 RC3 and it fails after "checking kernel version..."
so i guess my 2.2.2 is too old
went back to wiki, tried to flash their downgrade rom VRZ_A955_2.3.20_1FF_01.sbf hoping that it will get me to the right spot
no joy here as it fails (running as admin etc.) with "Phone is not compatible with multi-interface super-file."
any suggestions what to do now, as this is where i start worrying that i might do\flash something stupid and brick it
Hello!
Sorry if I'm wrong but, wouldn't be needed do update to 2.3.6 first?
Yet, this could help:

It says that you can update from Froyo.
actually it was just me being dumb as i tried to install
update-cm-7.2.0-RC3-droid2-signed
instead of
update-cm-7.2.0-RC3-droid2we-signed
as WE in filename means that this is rom for global, gsm version (that i have)
it updated ok, but all i get now is motorola logo and then black screen, i can't even get CWM to start...
Hi, first you may know, there are two different phones Droid 2 and Milestone 2 (A953), maybe you are trying to flash wrong sbf to your phone.

yup, just figured it out, had to flash back to 2.2.2 with
MILS2_U6_2.4.24_SIGNED_UCAMILESTONE2B1B80E100E.0R_UCXMILE20RTGB_P040_A013_HWp2a_Service1FF.sbf
and is working now...
for some reason i thought that droid 2 global = milestone 2
what should i look for if im interested in most stable rom for milestone?
Indeed, be sure of the sbf version.
Try going back to stock and do it again, cleaning data, cache and dalvik before and after update.
*didn't see that it worked hehe
Most stable roms, IMO are MIUI 2.5.25 and CM7
Now i'm trying CM9 (20120602) and i'm enjoying, still checking. Seems like it's worth the try.
Still some issues to solve, like recording, etc... but looks like good for daily use.
People say that MIUI tends to give some compatibility issues sometimes. And Cm7 fails to run some apps... like ShadowGun (well, in my Miles it fails hehe).
I'm very happy with MIUI from Will5, check it. It has very good battery life, the rom is smooth and stable and very addictive =D. I got small amount of forbidden crashes. I'm trying other roms as well but always come back to MIUI until better rom comes out, if it happen sometime. It has froyo kernel and i dont have any strange touchscreen bug, but the touch responsive is a little less then newer kernel, thats no problem for me.
trying it now, installation hints states "Flash UPDATE_2.5.25.zip from cwm 4.x.x.x or greater"
how to get cwm 4x?
all i found is 2.something in cm wiki and 3.1 in bootmenu
anyway i installed it with 3.1.0.0 and it seems to be ok
I installed it as you without any problems, I think it can be flashed from recovery from droid2bootstrap. If you dont like MIUI you can try another ROMS maybe original 2.3.4 sbf, in developer section is manual to get out the blur (and bloat) from stock roms. I test it someday but Im happy with MIUI.

miui installed fine, it looks great, but after some basic configuration launcher start FC, as i dont have time to experiment just now i flashed latest CM7 i found (cm7-120221-1901-NIGHTLY-Milestone2.zip) and it is working perfectly, just as good as on my LG P990
I have a Samsung Fascinate from Verizon Wireless.
Up until two days ago, it used to work perfectly on Android Froyo Superclean 2.8.
I had that ROM for about a year and a half and never thought of updating my OS up until two days ago.
At first, I discovered that I could get Gingerbread for my phone (not a stock version though).
I looked on the internet and I ended up flashing C-Spire Wireless Gingerbread 2.3.6 by accident.
When I finally finished all of the updating on that, I tried to go on the internet but it was not functioning the way it used to.
Most of the time, my phone could not connect to the 3G network, and when it did, it was very slow and disconnected every minute or so.
So, I then flashed the stock version of Gingerbread 2.3.5 for Verizon, but when I finished doing that, I still found that my internet was extremely buggy.
I also tried to install some radios on my phone to see if that helped, but it did not.
Shortly after, I stalled Superclean3 milestone 2 but the internet issue was not solved.
After that, I installed TSM Resurrection 2.2. The internet problems were still there.
Then, I went and installed ICS. Internet was still buggy.
I then got Jelly Bean from Cyanomod. The internet was still the same.
Then I went back to the stock Gingerbread 2.3.5. My internet is still really annoyingly horrible and I don't know what to do.
Any solutions please?

To go back to stock you need to flash the the pit file to repatriation and put everything back in order. Found the forum in fascinate android development about going back to stock Verizon rom. I had a 3g issue when I first flashed AOKP b40. Going back to stock worked perfect to fix data. Then back to ics on AOKP. And if your gonna flash an ics rom make sure you flash THS build 2 first to lay the ground work for the next ics rom of your choice.

Maybe your radio got corrupted somehow? Try flashing a bunch of different ones to see if it helps... all that info is found in droidstyle's guide
edit: Oops sorry, somehow I skimmed over that part saying you already tried different radios. I agree with the above though, go back to stock via droidstyle's guide and see what happens...
I just stumbled across something that may help you... read this and try it out... some people have reported data issues being resolved after doing that update. I've never done it myself, but I think I'm going to start making it a habit
