Root New D2 ROM leak: 2.3.15

[Redflea]

MDW and TBH present: 2.3.15 for the Droid2

Leaked D2 OTA upgrade in update.zip format, deodexed...no change log or any sort of summary of changes yet.

Do a nandroid backup first, of course.

If you've themed or applied a ROM and want to try this you'll likely want to wipe /System to avoid potential conflicts.

Have you noticed any differences yet?

So what is the advantage to doing this rather then waiting for the OTA? Not losing root?

If you followed all the steps your apps and settings are supposed to be gone...that's what happens when you wipe data and cache.

All your apps and settings should be restored automatically - just wait and you'll have them all back - you'll have to add your email accounts back in manually.

Advantages:

1. Being first
2. Keeping root easily
3. Maintaining a deodexed system (better for theming and can/should help performance)

 

[pballa2099]

okay, so i'm guessing all of my downloaded apps will have to be reinstalled manually, and that everything will sync from gmail?

does anyone else's dialer screen look weird like mine? and yes i wiped data and cache first... haven't tried reinstalling yet just thought i would see if I am the only one...

 

[roboots21]

Hmm .. that is exactly how my screen looks with stock Droid 2 ROM. ???

 

[Redflea]

I believe I have found one fix so far that is nice - the problem I was having w/accounts w/facebook linkages not showing phone numbers when they have status updates appears to be fixed. Can someone else confirm?

For those installing and wiping data, all your apps and settings should reinstall automatically - can take a while, but that has been one area where the D2 has been perfect for me so far.

Check the orientation of the numbers on the dialpad..something's not right there.

apparently he didn't look at that picture good enough

I tried reinstalling and this time i formated system first and it works fine now.. something was completely wrong with my dialer app. after I would call someone and hang up the signal would completly go out then switch to 1X for a minute then back to 3G... but all seems good now

 

[bishang]

Has anyone lost their root installing this?

 

[Redflea]

Nope, not me, zero root issues.

 

[lazarus2297]

if you have to use the "format system" option then you will lose root

 

[pballa2099]

my dialer is messed up as well, anybody find a fix for this issue?

Try clearing data for the Dialer:

- Settings>Applications>Manage> All Apps, select Dialer, clear data

If that doesn't work and you really need to fix it, you may have to reinstall and wipe /system as a part of the install.

Assuming you've already done things like a battery pull..

 

[roboots21]

Ha, oooops .. I looked at the picture again .. something is def messed up

 

[J.C.Sugrue]

Ha, oooops .. I looked at the picture again .. something is def messed up

I had the exact same problem yesterday, I ended up going back to 2.2.0

 

[RJT185]

Any change logs for 2.3.15??

 

[Redflea]

Nope.

 

[RJT185]

Nope.

C'est La Vie!!

Yeah...kinda a bummer they didn't leak a change log as well.

I haven't done it yet, but since 2.3.15 leaked for the DX as well, you could check out the DX 2.3.15 leak discussions and see if they have any info. Will likely be some DX specific stuff, but likely a lot of commonality between the DX and D2 releases.

2.3.15 was officially released for the DX. This is the first version of froyo that they got. Since they did not have a previous version of froyo idk if they will have a change log.
