Ok now before I start... I did search and all that but im still kinda confused. Ok so I got a droid x and I want to root it and install the jrummy rom. I got z4root but im confused on the boot strap and how to install and how it works.... im not new to rooting as I rooted my droid 1 and droid incredible in the past. All info is welcomed and thanks in advance.
The bootstrap allows you to take and restore backups. You can also use it to flash update.zip file for themes/roms/mods
If you google koush dro id x bootstrap and search around on the forums here u can probably find the answers you are looking for. If you have specific questions post back here and I will do my best to help out!
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I am by no means an expert at android. I was really into Windows Mobile until the last couple of months but was fed up with what MS did with Phone7 -so I just made the jump to android.
Root with Z4root first. then first thing create a back up so if something goes haywire - you are covered. I actually create 2 just in case.
To create your nandroid backup go to the android market and get Droid X Bootstrapper...
1. Open Droid X Bootstrapper.
2. Click "Bootstrap Recovery".
3. Get the "Success" message. Click "OK".
4. Click "Reboot Recovery".
5. Your phone will reboot into recovery (not the factory recovery -a hacked recovery).
6. Use the volume rocker to move down to "-backup and restore".
7. Use the red camera button to hit enter.
8. A new screen will open and your cursor will already be on "Backup".
9. Use the camera button to hit enter.
10. Your phone starts the backup process (black screen with a small open box and a little android). It takes about 5 minutes to complete the backup.
11. When it is done you will get a "Backup complete!" at the bottom and will it will automatically go back to the first page and your cursor will be highlighting the "-reboot system now" option.
12. Press the red camera button to hit "enter".
13. Your phone will reboot.
14. You have created your nandroid
If you dont have the app "Root Explorer" you need to give up the couple of bucks or whatever it is and get it. You can try some free file explorer apps and see how they work for you -but Root Explorer is worth the $ and I will refer to it in instructions.
Flashing the rom... I will use an example for this rom...
Apex 1.3
It is the rom I am using. It is stable and functional. It uses the ADW.Launcher as a home replacement for Blur.Home.apk -so if you are not familiar with it it takes some getting used to (a little complicated as far as all the settings). It also uses the AOSP text messaging which I do not like (but it can be changed back to Blur.
You can use whatever rom you want- but the instructions will not be exactly the same. Whatever rom you decide on -MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THEIR INSTRUCTIONS NOT MINE! Usually the first post of the rom thread will contain pretty clear instructions.
START WITH A FULL BATTERY!! I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY BLAH BLAH BLAH...
For example from the above thread...
-Place file on your sdcard. Bootstrap recovery and reboot recovery
-Navigate to mounts and storage. FORMAT data, and cache
-Return to previous menu and install .zip from sd card
-Choose ApeX and install!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. Download the rom.
2. If you use rom manager to download -you will have to find the rom which will be in a .zip file and it will be in some weird place in your phone's SDCard like
/sdcard/clockworkmod/download/fabdroid.com/downloads/
so you will have to move it to the root of your sdcard (meaning not inside any file folder -just on the sdcard.
3. So if you dont want to deal with that you can download from your computer and then place on your sdcard.
4. Open "Droid X Bootstrapper".
Click "Bootstrap Recovery".
5. Get the "Success" message. Click "OK".
6. Click "Reboot Recovery".
7. Your phone will reboot into recovery.
6. Use the volume rocker to move down to "-mounts and storage".
7. Use the red camera button to hit enter.
8. Use the volume rocker to move down to "-format data".
9. Hit enter (camera button).
(From here I am working on memory as I do not want to physically reflash the rom - so the instructions will not be quite as 100%)
10. You will get a "Are you sure?" message.
11. Go down to it and hit enter.
12. The phone will take a moment to format the data.
13. Use the same process to "-format cache".
14. Use the back button (the physical hardware back button) to return to the previous screen.
15. Go down to "-install zip from sdcard"
16. Hit enter.
17. Now all the files on the root of your sdcard will be listed. It is crucial that you placed the rom file on the root of your sdcard so that you can now choose it from the list. If there is no file to choose -you just completely screwed up and will have to perform the sbf. So hopefully you don't do that.
18. Use the volume button to select the Apex rom.
19. Hit enter (the camera button). I can't remember if you get a warning here - if you do - of course you want to confirm.
20. The new rom will load up.
21. If it does not automatically reboot then "-reboot system now".
The first boot up will take longer than usual. You will have to set up your phone all over again. If you have set up your phone properly then all your apps will download from the market automatically. If you have not set up your phone to do that than you will have to manually find your apps and download them.
Hopefully you are using Google to store your contacts and not Backup Asistant and the regular phone contacts. If you are using Google then your contacts should automatically be added back. If not then you are on your own bc I don't mess with Backup Assistant.
That is the best I can do with out physically flashing the rom and...
EVERY ROM HAS ITS OWN SPECIFIC INTRUCTIONS
You can use this as a guide but make sure you do what the rom developer says.
He pretty much explained everything you need to know, LOL
I personally like Darkslide V4. It is a very sweet ROM, but try different ones out and see which one suits you best.
I rooted my phone this last Monday with great success, and have been happily flashing ROMs ever since. I have had a few friends/aquaintances asking me how to do this, so I thought I would post this here to help them, and hopefully a few others here.
Special thanks to evilecho. I just added a few “noob” steps to his amazing tutorial.
If installed, uninstall HTC Sync. This is very important!
Backup anything you need backed up off your phone. Most things on your phone will be safe but back everything up just to be sure.
Download SuperUser zip & Amon_RA’s recovery (if you don’t want to use the Clockwork Mod recover that ships with Revolutionary)
Note: Many people are advising that people new to rooting use Amon_RA’s recovery. Amon_RA’s recovery is very simple, reliable, and very solid and does everything you need to flash a new ROM, if you would like.
Copy both to your root of SD card
Download and install HTC Drivers
Download Revolutionary: S-OFF & Recovery Tool
Note: The download link is at the bottom of the page. You will need to enter your EVO’s Serial number which is located under the battery. Make sure you to copy/write down the beta key. You will need it later)
Copy the beta key to Notepad or a similar app
On your EVO:
Enable USB debugging mode: Go to Settings –> Applications –> Development –> check box for USB debugging [/INDENT]
Disable Fast boot: Go to Settings –> Power –> check box for Fast Boot
Connect your EVO to your PC with a USB cable - Select Charge Only
Unzip the Revolutionary tool and run it as admin (to run as admin, right click and select run as admin)
Open a command prompt (Start -> Run -> cmd)
Navigate to the folder where you unzipped the Revolutionary tool
Type revolutionary.exe
The tool will recognize your device
Enter/paste the beta key that you pasted into Notepad
Note: to paste into the command prompt, right click on the top bar of the window -> Edit -> Paste
The phone will fastboot twice
It will ask you if you want to install the Clockwork Mod recovery. Select Yes.
Note: Instructions to switch to Amon_RA to follow.
After Revolutionary is complete, boot into the bootloader (if not already there) by turning off the phone, then hold the power button and the down volume button for a few seconds. You should then see “Revolutionary” at the top, and “S-OFF”.
The phone should now ask you if you want to update the recovery (by recognizing the PC36IMG.zip file that we downloaded and copied to the SD card of the phone). Select yes. This will update your recovery to Amon_RA's.
Use the up and down arrow keys and choose “Recovery” by pushing the power button
Choose “Flash zip from sdcard”
Choose “Choose zip from sdcard”
Use the up arrow key to move you to the bottom of the list, then look for “su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip” and push the power button to select
Push the power button again to accept
You are now rooted!
At this point, I would recommend going to this awesome thread by sekigah84, which will walk you through creating a Nanroid backup and flashing ROMs. Enjoy!

How to dual boot: ONLY FOR GALAXY S2
Warning: This procedure doesn't really work anymore. It only works with Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and Siyah Kernel v 5.0.1. Later versions of either won't work. Consider this guide archived, and use it at your own risk.
If you want to test B2G from time to time but continue using Android as your main OS and you have a Samsung Galaxy S2, you can choose to install B2G in a separate partition (which is already present on the phone) and choose where to boot into when your device starts.
Prerequisites
In order to dual boot Android and B2G, you have to meet these prerequisites:
You have to have built B2G for the Galaxy S2
You have to download the Siyah kernel v. 5.0.1 for the Galaxy S2
You need the tool simg2img, that you get automatically if you build B2G following the guide on MDN
You need the heimdall tool, best if version 1.3.1 as you may encounter problems with version 1.3.2
One-time operations
There are several operations to do in order to get a working dual boot. The following ones need to be done the first time only.
In order to use heimdall without requiring root access, you should create a file called android.rules (the portion of the name before the .rules extension is arbitrary) and place it in /etc/udev/rules.d. The file should contain a line line the following:
Code:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666"
In order to activate this rule, you should restart udev:
Code:
sudo service udev restart
and then unplug and replug in the phone. The above rule will also allow adb to access the SGS2 without requiring root privlidges.
Flashing the Siyah kernel
The Siyah kernel is mandatory for the dual boot, because it is this kernel that manages it. Once you have downloaded and decompressed the tar file, you'll be left with a file named zImage. In order to flash it on your phone you have to follow these steps:
Switch off your phone
Reboot in download mode (press together volume down + home + power buttons and then, when asked, volume up button)
Use heimdall to flash the kernel with the following command (your phone needs to be connected to your PC):
heimdall flash --kernel /path/to/zImage
Once the kernel is flashed the phone will reboot.
Preparing the B2G rom environment
Once you've installed the Siyah kernel, it's time to use its functions to prepare the environment to install your B2G image in the secondary partition. Follow these steps:
Switch off your phone
Reboot in recovery mode (press together volume up + home + power buttons)
In the CWMR Touch interface, go to dual-boot options -> Wipe 2ndROM data/cache -> Yes - Wipe. This operation will take some time
Once the operation is finished, select Go Back and then reboot system now to reboot your phone. If you check, inside the internal SD card of your phone you'll now have a .secondrom directory with inside two files named cache.img and data.img.
B2G update operations
The following operations need to be done every time you build a new version of B2G.
In order to simplify command line instructions, it's advised to copy all needed files in a same folder of your choice. These are the files that need to be copied inside the folder:
Code:
simg2img, found in B2G/out/target/product/galaxys2/system/bin/
system.img, found in B2G/out/target/product/galaxys2/
userdata.img, found in B2G/out/target/product/galaxys2/
Once you have all the files in one place, do the following:
Create a data.img file out of the sparse file userdata.img. You can do it with the following command:
Code:
simg2img userdata.img data.img
Put the data.img file on your phone's .secondrom folder. You can do this either by enabling file storage mode on your phone and connecting it to your PC or, if you have USB Debug active, you can use adb:
adb push /path/to/data.img /sdcard/.secondrom/data.img
Switch off your phone
Reboot in download mode (press together volume down + home + power buttons and then, when asked, volume up button)
Use heimdall to flash B2G firmware inside the second partition:
heimdall flash --hidden system.img
Once the flash is finished, your phone will reboot and at boot time you can boot into your second rom (the B2G one) by pressing the home button during the bootloader countdown. If everything has gone right, once you've finished booting B2G you'll have a black screen on your phone. You now have to install Gaia.
Note: Depending on how you want to test B2G, you may not want to put a new data.img file on the phone every time you update B2G, as it will wipe all of your preferences, installed applications and in general pretty much everything you've done while using B2G.
Boot operations
The following operations need to be done every time you boot inside B2G.
Unfortunately, there's no simple way to put Gaia inside the system.img B2G image, and it get lost when you switch off your phone, so you'll need to install Gaia again every time you boot inside B2G. To install Gaia, type the following on a console after you've booted your phone inside B2G (so you have a black screen) and have connected your phone to your PC:
cd B2G/gaia
GAIA_DOMAIN=foo.org make install-gaia
After the upload of Gaia is completed, on your phone's screen the B2G interface will appear.

Introduction
Hey guys, I recently flashed Android 4.0.4 on the SDCard of my HTC HD2 to revive it from the dead and it worked! Although, when I was working on it, it wasn't necessarily easy and the ressources were incredibly hard to find. So I am sharing this handy guide here to make it easier for any begginers that want to bring their HTC HD2 back from the dead. Since I am also a beginner there could be mistakes or complicated sections in my guide which I would be very glad if they get pointed out below in the comments!
Happy Flashing!
Dan6erbond
NOTE: Flashing Android to the internal storage (NAND Flash) is easier and runs smoother. The HTC HD2 unfortunately only has 512 MB of internal storage which makes it almost a must to do a NativeSD Flash if you are interested in installing apps on it. If you are going for the NativeSD Flash, make sure your SDCard is at least a class 6 for a usable experience and has a capacity of >= 8 GB. I recommend using a Version of Android older than 4.0.4 to get the smoothest experience.
Steps
Unlock Bootloader with HardSPL4
NOTE: Make sure your device has more than 50% battery.
1. Turn off any Anti-Virus Software in case your Anti-Virus Software blocks any of the programs you try to run or files you try to download.
2. Download the HardSPL4 Package and save it in an empty folder you've prepared for all the files you will need.
3. Load the Bootloader on your HTC HD2 by turning your phone off and turning it back on while holding the volume down key until a RGBW screen appears.
4. Connect your phone to your Windows PC and wait for the white section of the RGBW screen to say USB.
5. Run HSPL4.exe
6. Read everything and click next.
NOTE: If you plan to use MAGLDR, make sure to select HSPL2.08 in the HSPL4.exe program.
7. Once the phone has rebooted you can turn it off for now.
8. Done!
Install the latest Radio
You need to install the latest Radio on your HTC HD2 to ensure that all your communication devices such as bluetooth and WiFi will work afterwards.
NOTE: Make sure your device has more than 50% battery.
1. Download the latest Radio available for your device (currently 2.15.50.14).
2. Extract the contents of the downloaded ZIP file.
3. Load the Bootloader on your HTC HD2 by turning your phone off and turning it back on while holding the volume down key until a RGBW screen appears.
4. Connect your phone to your Windows PC and wait for the white section of the RGBW screen to say USB.
5. Run CustomRUU.exe from your Radio Folder.
6. Read all the instructions and click next.
7. You will see an Update button, click on it.
8. Wait till your phone reboots.
9. Done!
Flash MAGLDR to the Device
1. Download MAGLDR 1.13 to that folder created earlier.
2. Load into the Bootloader just like you did earlier.
3. Extract the contents of the MAGLDR ZIP folder and launch the ROMUpdateUtility.exe. Make sure you are logged in as Administrator or launch the App as Administrator.
4. Tick the box labeled confirm and click next.
5. Repeat step 4.
6. Select update.
7. Verify the image being flashed say 2.00.000.0 and select next.
8. Read the process list and select next.
9. Once the process is done your phone will reboot.
10. Done!
Flash an Android ROM to the internal storage (NAND Flash)
NOTE: For this step you will need an SDCard. 4GB should be enough for most Android ROMs.
1. Download any Android ROM you wish to install on the HTC HD2. Make sure that it's compatible with your device. In this case I am using the Android 4.0.4 ROM by tytung which runs excellent on the internal storage as well as of an SDCard.
2. Copy the downloaded ZIP folder to your SDCard.
3. Load the MAGLDR Boot Menu Screen by turning on your phone and holding the power button until you see the MAGLDR Boot Menu Screen.
4. Press the volume up/down button to navigate to the option AD Recovery and select it by clicking on the call button. (Far most left of bottom hardware buttons)
5. Navigate to Update from SDCard and select it.
6. Select select ZIP file from SDCard and select the ZIP file that contains the ROM.
7. Select YES...
8. Your phone will now install the ROM and ask if you would like to Reboot. Select Yes and your phone will boot Android after showing a menu in which you do not have to do anything. The first boot might take a little longer.
9. Done!
Flash an Android ROM to an SDCard (NativeSD Flash)
NOTE: For this step you will need an SDCard. I recommend at least 8GB Class 6 or higher SDCard for most Android ROMs to run smoothly and properly.
Install 4EXT Recovery
NOTE2: You might need to install the 4EXT Recovery on your device. Please comment below if you needed to but here is how it goes:
1. Download 4EXT Recovery and copy the ZIP file to an SDCard.
2. Insert the SDCard into your device and launch the MAGLDR Boot Menu.
3. Select Services.
4. Select Boot Settings.
5. Select AD SD Dir.
6. Select the ZIP file you just copied to the SDCard.
7. Go back to the MAGLDR Boot Menu and select Boot AD SD.
8. Done!
Install the Android ROM to the SDCard
1. Load the MAGLDR Boot Menu Screen by turning on your phone and holding the power button until you see the MAGLDR Boot Menu Screen.
2. Press the volume up/down button to navigate to the option Services and select it by clicking on the call button. (Far most left of bottom hardware buttons)
3. Select Boot Settings.
4. Select Boot Source.
5. Select Android from SD.
6. Navigate back to MAGLDR Boot Menu.
7. Select Boot AD Recovery.
8. Select advanced.
9. Select Partition SDCard.
10. Select remove all partitions and start from start.
11. Set the size of the EXT partition to the largest possible.
12. Set the size of the SWAP partition to 0MB.
13. Select Yes - I'm sure.
14. Wait for the progress to finish.
15. Reboot the device from the MAGLDR Boot Menu.
16. Hold the power button to get back into the MAGLDR Boot Menu.
17. Download the Android ROM you would like to use. In this case I am using the Android 4.0.4 ROM by tyugen which works well from an SDCard as well as the internal storage.
18. Copy the downloaded ZIP file to the SDCard you are using.
19. Insert the SDCard into your device while it is off.
20. Boot back into the MAGLDR Boot Menu.
21. Select AD Recovery.
22. Select install from SDCard.
23. Select choose zip from SDCard.
24. Select your ROM.
25. Select YES...
26. Wait for the installation page to show up and then tap NEXT.
27. Select install to SD-EXT and then tap NEXT.
28. Select RMNET Connextion. I suggest deactivating the soft keys. Tap NEXT.
29. Once the installation is done tap NEXT and make sure that your device is set to reboot.

12. Go back to the "Platform Tools (Name of your OS)" folder and once again, drag the "fastboot" file into the terminal
13. Leave a space and type the words "erase system"
14. Hit enter
15. When the process is finished you should see the words "finished" and "total time" in the terminal
16. One last time, drag the "fastboot" file to the terminal
17. Leave a space and type "flash system"
18. Go to the folder that you previously downloaded (the one linked above) and look for the "Pixel 13...Beta3.3.img" file
19. Drag the file over to the command window and hit enter
20. Wait for the file to be flashed (this might take a while)
21. When flashing is finished you will again see the message "finished" and "total time" in the terminal
22. Go back to your phone
23. Click on "Reboot"
24. Click on "System"
25. Wait for your phone to restart with the new ROM
ENJOY !!!!
