I just rooted my friends R2-D2 phone, and im wondering if their are any Roms for it. all that i have seen have been made for the regular droid 2
I don't really belong in the droid 2 forums, but last time i checked the r2-d2 is the same as the regular droid 2.
There are version differences, droid 2=2.2.0 and the r2d2=2.4.5 (I think), and I think (don't quote me) some bootloader changes they made. The sbf for the regular droid 2 won't work for the r2d2 and the roms are the same way (I think). It's best to wait for the r2d2 sbf to be released before anyone flashes roms or they could end up with a bricked r2d2 droid 2.

I've never seen a description of differences, it's possible there is no clear cut description anywhere yet of whats different between the D2 and the R2D2. However, on every ROM for the D2 it generally has a disclaimer stating that you will probably brick your R2D2 if you flash it, so I'd leave the ROMs alone for the time being, unless you are very brave
This is my bad day . My Droid 2 Global got stuck on M logo when I tried to root and install the new ROM . I have tried alot of SBF from the Droid 2 but it's seem nothing fix my phone. So, anyone can help me with the new SBF for Droid 2 Global
Which SBF did you use? I'm not aware of one being released for the D2G and using the one for the D2 will certainly screw up your phone.
There isn't a SBF for the D2G yet. You should have waited for it before trying anything like this.
If the sbf did work after you sbf you need to:
1. Pull your Battery.
2. Replace battery and power on while holding down the X key.
3. Wait for the android triangle to load.
4. Press the Search key (the magnifying glass)
5. Use down arrow and navigate to wipe data/factory reset and press OK.
6. Reboot phone.
If that doesn't work than you might be SOL.
If you get the M logo and you have a backup. (always try and restore a backup before you SBF)
Pull your battery and place it back in after 5 seconds or so (we just want the phone completely off)
(while completely off) Plug your phone into the wall charger.
Then turn your phone on. If you get the charging screen press power again.
now you should be in clockwork recovery so you can do a restore if you made a backup.
I've used all the sbf that I searched in this forum but it wasn't work. I think there are a different SBF for Droid 2 Global.

I assumed so but I also assumed that if the boot loader hasn't changed one could /theoretically/ flash the 2.3.2 sbf and /possibly/ be okay. I wouldn't recommend any D2 G users to flash ROMs or anything until the SBF specifically for the D2 Global is released. I would suggest rooting and getting a backup made if the user want's to eventually flash ROMs.

Did you make a backup with koush's bootstrapped clockwork recovery? if so you should try and restore it. otherwise you might be out of luck until the sbf drops.
Maybe I'm out of Luck . But is there a chance to update the new ROM using the stock Recovery ? . I saw there are the option apply: update.zip
It will only work if you have the rom signed with moto's keys or it won't get through. That's why we use koush's bootstrapped clockwork. Because it doesn't have signature verification. Well it does but we can toggle it off.

I have the same problem with the droid 2, except i mistakenly flashed with the droid 2 global without really thinking about it. I'm stuck at the M logo, and i've tried doing all of the above but i cannot get into clockwork recovery. Any suggestions? if I bricked my phone, how would i go about getting it fixed from verizon?
I remembered that i install the stock ROm deodexed for Droid 2 Global . But why my phone bricked ? Is that the problem from my phone?

You should sbf your droid 2 with the 2.3.2 sbf. Search in droid 2 android development section. There are two ways to flash it. One in windows the other in linux. I made a tool so people can use any computer to flash in linux. Search in the android development section for the droid 2 and it's there if you need it. I recommend reading and reading and reading then flash it. You'll be wiser and you'll know each step before you do it. It's not difficult and if you are going to flash ROMs you need to need to know how to sbf.
If your phone boots it's not bricked. And read every post here before trying to return it to verizon. If you have the desire to flash ROMs to your phone you can to the research to fix any mishaps. If after you read every post and you still have no idea or the methods applied haven't worked then you have my permission to take it back to verizon with the excuse that the update messed up your phone. Thanks and happy fixing!

The phone is Droid 2 Global. There is no sbf available for D2G yet. More and more users are getting confused. Please vote in the thread for dedicated section for D2G @XDA!

I was not commenting to hamabucon I was talking to dotmike who it seems has an Orginal Droid 2 (not global) and the advice is NOT for the Droid 2 Global. I'm sorry if it's confusing he posted in a thread about the D2 G and I was trying to help him where he posted his problem. I have not suggested that there is an Sbf for the D2 G. Sorry for the confusion but if we all read what each post relates to will help.

Yes, apologies for taking over a thread with my question, however to newk8600, I didn't know that holding the up key on the keyboard booted into the bootloader! I managed to sbf from there since RSDLite read the phone then.
Apologies for any confusion, and thank you again for the help.
I was just given a rooted Droid X.
currently it is running MIUI 1.9.9, it is running BP_C_01.09.13P baseband and 2.6.32.9-g55626e1w30471 as the kernel.
I'm brand spanking new to this device, and there is a ton of information regarding different updates issued for it. I've searched but I cant seem to find a clear answer...
can I flash any Droid x rom on this device as it is right now?
is there any need to .sbf to something first?
I've read some contradicting information and would rather as than soft brick it.
thanks in advance.
It appears you are on 340 which is the froyo kernel. Most roms have moved to the gingerbread kernel (602 or higher)
Depending on what rom you want to flash you will need to sbf to 602 and optionally take the ota to 605 and then reroot. Use the d2 bootstrapper to get into cwm and then flashed away.
There are plenty of guides with more details about this.

Hi. I want to download a ROM of Bumblebee 2.4 onto my newly rooted Droid X, but I can't find anything on any website. The closest I came to getting it was this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053842
The trouble is, I can't understand it, because I'm new to rooting, and I don't even know if it'll work on the Droid X. Can someone help me out here?
That is not a Droid X rom.
You can find roms made for the Droid X in the Development section over on Rootzwiki.

Hey all:
So I'm really interested in changing my rom, but everywhere I turn I'm told I can't do so because the bootloader is locked on the droid x. I had always been under the impression it was the same for the milestone x since they're both motorola, and basically the same phone except the milestone is debranded and used on smaller cdma networks, rather than verizon... However, as I scour the web in search of enlightenment, I find a discussion about the bootloader, where it was implied that it was verizon, not motorola, who wanted the bootloader locked and that on the non-droid (non-verizon) x's this isn't an issue. Can anyone verify that the bootloader is indeed unlocked on the milestone x, our give me a "safe" way to do so? And if so, what roms would work?
Thanks
I haven't seen anything that says that the bootloader is unlocked on the Milestone X. Verizon may not want an open bootloader but I doubt the smaller carriers do either. At least mine wouldn't.

Hey, another kentucky boy. I'm assuming that means you're on app wireless, which means we should have pretty much the exact same phones. Did you take the 2.3.5 update around the end of last year? Have you tried any custom roms? found any that work on the milestone?
Yeah, I'm with Appalachian! Wireless. I played around with some custom ROMs before the Gingerbread update, but I haven't risked it since. I may give it another go once I'm closer to my contract being up. Now that would probably change if I could get a good SBF image to fall back to if I break something.

Yeah its pretty crappy that Appalachian has never released an sbf.. They're sort of weird about stuff like that... But I saw somewhere on the interweb something about a "generic north american milestone x sbf". Our phones don't seen to have any sort of model customization for app wireless, so maybe that would work?... I hear that the ics gummy rom works on the milestone x, but I haven't tried it yet. I'm new to all this hacking and modding stuff.. I finally have it rooted and found this ics launcher in the market called holo launcher that works pretty well, and I've been experimenting with some metamorph themes (got the r2d2 lock screen...oohh yeahhh...lol), so I don't know if I'll risk it. Maybe when my contact ends in november and I'm during outside the store at 4 in the morning waiting in line for the black friday sale, I'll cave and give it a shot... Lol

After successfully flashing my Milestone X with CyanogenMod I noticed my Google Market was not included. I found it and renamed to update... and placed it on my sdcard. No go, I later tried to replace the bootloader and bricked my X. They gave me another one and now I have Gingerbread. From what I read in the wiki I would have to do all suggested backup apn stuff and flash back to froyo or previous version.
The problem I had when I flashed the Shadow ROM, the kernel was not updated, so I decided there was no real benefit to all this and it might be easier to just keep the latest carrier update and install a new theme.
Good luck,
Elliot

I'm pretty sure the bootloader has not been unlocked. The kernel will remain stock no matter what rom you flash.

The generic .SBF won't work on our phones. It would sort of work prior to the Gingerbread update but after it will brick your phone. I think I have it saved somewhere though if your feeling adventurous.

Thanks, but no thanks. This phone has got to last me another few months, so adventure will have to wait.
So, if I use this vortex rom, and it turns oit I don't like it or it somehow interferes with my phones functionality, I can revert back to my old settings via nan droid backup, right?

Yes, you don't even have to wipe anything when restoring a backup.

One last question, just to be on the safe side.. Installing this rom shouldn'thave any effect on my baseband/radio/data coverage/etc, should it? Sorry if its a dumb question. just gotta be careful until my contact runs out.

It should not, and in the event something should go wrong or not work correctly, you always have the option of restoring a backup or SBFing.

Root first, then use Droid 2 Bootstrapper to install recovery, update recovery via ROM Manager, then install CyanogenMod and Gapps.

Hey! Sorry for the long delay. To give you an update, I WAS able to flash vortex RC1 without a problem. However, I wasn't crazy about the design and I couldn't get the Wi-Fi to work even with the Wi-Fi lib fix, so so I was forced to Nandroid back to stock. However, I tried vortex reloaded and not only did I like the design better, but the Wi-Fi worked!! I used it for a while, then did a Nandroid and downloaded and flashed liberty 3 v2, again without a hitch. I can't decide which I like better, so I just go back and forth between the two. I'm so indecisive... lol... but if you're you're interested, you can download liberty and RC1 from the same place. Just Google "blur-based roms on .621/.604" and click the top result, which should be rootzwiki. You can also find an apex rom there. As for vortex reloaded, you'll have to do a little more digging, but it shouldn't be hard to find...
As for choosing a rom, it's all personal preference. But the one thing I can NOT STRESS ENOUGH is that, when using a milestone x, the rom needs to be modified for the .621/.604 hack. As for 2nd-init roms, I have no idea because I've never looked into them. Hope this helps!!
2nd init roms can be used on .621/.604.
