So bottom line... if you want the newest thing, here it is... if you are happy with 2.2 with some rom then you should stay? Correct? I don't see the reason to head to 2.3 considering all the problems.

Party Pooper Please remove yourself from the "all things Root " threads

I kid. Seriously this is only a minor update at best and probably the final. With that said I'm sure the method to update will get refined in the next few days so waiting might not be a bad idea. Just know that all the real men and one Bot are updating now LOL

As soon as my backup is done I'm flashing.....maybe I can be a wuss sometimes and besides I like my theme.

So where are the root directions that are supposed to be in the OP?

Droid 2

Just don't use their SBF if you have trouble

Please share.

Is this stock? None of your apps or data? Is this could be a nice way to update.

So did everyone just slap this on top of FlyX or whatever else they had going at the time? In other words do I just pull the trigger on Choose zip from SDcard?

I have a clean nandroid backup of 2.2 and I'm thinking it may be best to go back to that and then update. What do you guys think?

 

[odiej34]

Not to get off topic, but if I create a nandroid backup will this copy all system settings, apps and such? ( I tried the search first but nothing specific).
Thanks!

As soon as he uploads it I will add it to the Op

tried fly x yesterday and it made my phone lag, i believe birdman is releasing a new one and P3 finished tranquility 2.3rc so he will update later today i guess

alright i managed to get a 2.2 nandroid of the new froyo with root. you might have to factory reset once you apply the nandroid. this is fresh the only app i downloaded was mybackup and no data restored

MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

Added it, will make better directions when I get home. But if you only restore system they wont have to worry about doing a factory data reset.

oh cool i never knew that im still a noob

The kernel version is still .32 which I thought was 1 rev short of the>256 mem fix as well, so I think this is just VZ fixes only. MMS time is fixed for me though

this has been discussed a lot on here and again the android sdk 2.2 states this:

2.6.32 kernel upgrade

• HIGHMEM support for RAM >256MB
• SDIO scheduling and BT improvements

there is no mention of .33 anywhere neccessary

This is what I'm planning to do once I get it downloaded and have a chance to mess with my phone. Has anyone used Retrokid's nandroid yet? How did it work?

I think I'll wait for he ROMS and Themes to be updated before I jump ...

So is anyone else having trouble re-rooting? Using the Droid 2 method, when I start to push superuser.apk I get the error "failed to copy "Superuser.apk" to /system/app/Superuser.apk: Read-only file system" If anyone could help I would really appreciate it!

I'm going to do the same. No harm in waiting

 

[SimsDelt]

If I use the nandroid above and just advanced restore just the system, will I keep my themes?

I think so. Give it a shot and report back to us. Just make sure you do yourself a favor and backup your current setup first so that you can revert back in case it doesn't work like you expect.

 

[Retrokid223]

well guys themes work im running nextheme

I think the framework is in /system/framework so it would get over written unless the person who made this backup had the same theme I think it would be gone.

uhh, is jit disabled in this? im not even getting 1000 in quadrant and i was around 1500 previously

edit: nevermind, for whatever reason on the 5th plus attempt (i did wait for it to warm up) im getting 1475+ consistently

Everyone seems to be having problems. I had 2.2 rooted w/ flyX and tranquility 1.5 and REVOlution theme on this and it installed fine. I cleared cache and data first install. Root wasn't lost. I still haven't any major problems upgrading and such either, thank god.

The only dumb thing I did was go to install flyX again, which put it back to the old leaked froyo. I realized I shouldn't have did that halfway through it's installation.. but i just installed again over it, cleared cache, but didn't wipe data and everything was working again. I also reinstalled REVOlution theme and put the modified build.prop I got from rom manager back on(at least I don't think I hallucinated this, I did it at 7am with no sleep.)

You need to redo the mount step (its usually one of the first steps) and pay attention for errors.
