[Q] Roms & Kernel - Droid 2 General
Hello everyone, i was hoping someone can help me out on a problem im having flashing roms. I was using cm7 up to yesterday. Whenever i try to flash a droid 2 rom it'll say failed kernel check and it aborts. Now ive read around about some roms needing to be gingerbread based. But im not sure how to do that. Im rooted 2.3.4 .621. Is there anything i can do or are there any roms that work on. 621? Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you

Hey shadow thanks for helping me once again. I looked over your list of roms and i really liked the steel droid custom ics. Whenever i try to flash it tells me this :
asser failed: run_program ("/temp/check_kernel")
==0
error in /sdcard/sd2_gb_3000.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted
that's the problem i have been facing when i try to flash other roms also. Any clue as to what's wrong?
1. check which version of cwm is it 2.0 or 5.0?
2. you are choosing Install zip from sd card, not apply sdcard: update.zip?
---------- Post added at 10:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 PM ----------
if cwm recovery is still 2.0, and rom manager will not update it correctly
even if cwm recovery is 5.0, you may need to remove it
remove d2 bootstrap app,then use a root browser, and delete /preinstall/recovery folder
then install the modified D2 bootstrap that has updated to 5.0 cwm

are you running stock 621 now?

ok your right about steel droid, it has a kernel check
so can't use that, without removing it
there several other roms @ Droid 2/R2D2 Development

yes i sbf back to regular stock 621 plus the root.
I did as you said of removing d2 bootstrap and using a root browser to delete recovery folder.
cwm is 5.0.2.0
tried reflashing steel droid and it gave me the same results.
would you like a screenshot of my phone info?
you may have missed my last update
I may try to remove kernel check on steel droid
if it works I'll post a link to it
which other roms have failed?
can you post file names and where you found them

That'll be wonderful if you can.
I was randomly searching droid 2 roms last night.
I'm not sure which were the two i tried, but i'll search for them again and see if i can remember which two they were and post them.
the best 621 roms are @ Droid 2/R2D2 Development
ok I got the "SD2_GB_3000.zip - Custom ICS"
edited, resigned, installed and it booted
first time I've done that
so I will upload and post the link, when its ready
note: it's not really ics, it's 2.3.7 gb, themed like steel droid ics
looks and runs good from what I can tell

Wow cool ! Thank you very much
I really liked it when i saw it onyour list so i was excited
Thanks so much for this 621 re-signed version! Runs great and I really love the visual improvements you have made over the stock CM7.

if anyone wants to flash a rom like official cm7 with kernel check for 2.3.3
I've written Instructions
[How To] Remove Kernel Check on a Rom for a Droid
for those devices on 2.3.4
---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 PM ----------
no signing required
Thanks, never ran into the kernel check issue before and suddenly I am running into it everywhere. Good to know how to work around it

Need twrp backup
Would anyone be willing to post a twrp backup, minus user data? It doesn't matter what rom.
i can make a backup of hashcode's ics test roms.. you want cache too?
sure, thanks
uploading now via mediafire, give it 30 minutes or so. wifi isn't working in the rom for some reason though, so you might wanna reflash. ---------- Post added at 01:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ---------- hashcode's ICS build 3 with build 5 of the kernel flashed. no wifi. everything but data, twrp 2.1. mediafire . com / ?x5tqvpgsqsal8ct
[Q] Can I unroot Motorold Defy running on CM9 without losing CM9?
Is it possible to unroot the phone and still continue to use the CM9 build that is already installed? I want to do this to be able to use my phone securely for enterprise email using 'Good for Enterprise'. Please suggest.
Install cm10. Its already more stable and has an option in settings for this. ---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 PM ---------- Its in development>root access.
The same option is there in cm9 also. Would that make it safe enough to use with enterprise? Can I then say that the phone is not rooted when the root access check box is unchecked? Sent from my MB526 using xda app-developers app
Where are the ROMs??!
Just got a Motorola Droid R2D2 (OTA updated it to GB 2.3.3, installed root and recovery). Could not wait to change the ROM on this thing. Well I guess I'll have to!! So far, I can't find any ROMs at all for it?! All the links lead to dead sites! I even tried finding them on Google, or other forums like DroidForums.net, no dice! Here's what I want to try, in order of preference: 1. Galnet MIUI 2. Liberty 3 v2 3. Apex ROM 4. Fission ROM I realize its a 2010 phone, but so is my HTC Desire, and I can still get ROMs for that. Any clue here? Thanks.
most of the links for the roms have been removed due to the stop of development. theres only a few thats still working. rom manager and rom toolbox has cm7. goo manager has some. liberty rom still works but was never finished so theres still a lot of bugs. theres an miui rom on there website. and liquid smooth has an ics rom thats pretty cool. hope this was helpful.
The links were not removed. The file sharing sites were taken down by the FBI and files were never reuploaded Many working links in my list sd_shadow's [Collection] of Links for: Droid 2 (a955) Sent from my XT894 using Tapatalk

I really wanted MIUI on the D2, but no answer from them on where I can find the ROM when I posted on their site. Not sure if the D2 will do ICS as smoothly as GB, bit I'll try and find a working link to Liquid Smooth.
Have you tried looking on rootzwiki or droid forums? I believe that is where liquid smooth and the miui rom are.

Well crap lol. and yeah i noticed that myself wonder what the deal is.

Yeah thats the one i have on mine. the video camera doesnt work on the stock camera but if you use a different one from the play store it works. evertything else is pretty stable. ---------- Post added at 10:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 AM ---------- do you know of anyone @shadow that may have some dinc2 files?

Checked now...and the aren`t sound,mobil data,camara... A lot of bugs.... :crying:
Xperia Z3 D6603 so all the needed functions are broken and bugs still exist throughout the system. Dear Santa, All I did throughout the year is being a good boy but how come my present is an unlikeable.
Ive switched to Slipstream for the time being, cause without phone and mobile data, the Z3 is useless to me

I got all excited about it, but it's still full of bugs. Well, waiting for development is the price we have to pay for getting the newest, shiniest phone.
I can't even download it. I get an error when I first try it, then I try again and it says I've reached the hourly download limit.
What about Xperia Z3 D6653 So if i'm using Z3 D6653...i can't use it?

Hello, The new update is very nice. The performance is buttery smooth on stock. Given the way that the three files must be manually flashed via fastboot, are there any confirmed working recoveries at the moment? If I could flash a gapps package, I would gladly use this as a daily driver.

Click to collapse You can install the latest build (boot, system, userdata) then flash the andro kernel boot.img. Boot into TWRP. Flash gapps, and then reflash the original boot.img. Boom Gapps. Any chance to see a working camera and working video playback for youtube soon? Would love to run this instead of cyan****
