Root **Official GB leak 2 thread** (was Anyone get OTA 4.5.588? Possibly Gingerbread OTA?)

[lexluthor]

I'm on the Froyo OTA, rooted.

If I install this using the method shown, will I retain all of my settings, programs and program data?

 

[gmenfan83]

For anyone interested I just .sbf'ed back to stock Froyo and then did a System update search, "You device is up to date! No update is necessary at this time." I expected as much, now back to custom ROMs.

EDIT: Then again, with what is being reported about them "silently" pushing the OTA to phones it kind of makes the update check worthless anyway.

Posted in the other thread but I have it fully installed running good so far and is rooted

Should , I installed right over froyo without wiping and all data etc is still there

you will bootloop. you need to wipe data and cache. only data from a GB rom can be restored.

No boot loop here Tom , although I would usually agree

From what I understand, no, you will not lose anything...as long as you do not wipe. That is only if you are on official Froyo and follow this step by step though.

So which is it?

gmenfan83, no persistent sync icon for you like some reported?

I guess I'm going to try. I have a current Titanium backup I can use to restore programs, if necessary.

Nope no sync icon ,,,I may run into problems later but right now smooth as buttah baby

So, none of you guys got the Netflix app on the update? I have it on mine and it Logs in, searches and goes all the way till you can select a movie to stream. Then it says

"Sorry, We could not reach the Netflix service. Please try again later. If the problems Persist please visit netflix.com. (12001)."

Also, I think I did something wrong because my Gingerbread is not stable. I have no music player and can not see my Media Gallery. It Forces Close a lot and even reboots a lot. It lags and in general I am going to just go back to Froyo. If anyone can help me please let me know what to do. BTW. I'm a noob with Android. the X is the first Droid I owned.

Very cool. it is acting just like an OTA then. i stand corrected.

Lol I could never correct my teacher,,,,remember you saved me from my first boot loop at 2 am one night many moons ago lol

 

[tom108]

i am just so used to doing a wipe before every install. i may try to restore my GB data after i install.

(as long as u know how to burn an iso image, you can use that & it does it all for you)

 

[PACAnesFan]

As soon as I get off the phone, I will be trying this.

Yeah I'm in the habit as well but I saw p3 said only 15% of testers wiped so I assumed his testers came from stock/root froyo since those were his main instructions so I went with it ,,may bite me in the arse though we wil see

 

[gmenfan83]

Steven/Mods can we get this thread merged with the one in the root section,,,please and thank you

 

[lexluthor]

Ok. Did the install. Rebooting now.

How long should I be at the red M before I start to worry?

 

[gmenfan83]

I can also say so far I'm making a backup of gb in dx recovery , USB debugging is off

 

[CaucasionJ]

Ok so I tried to load my 2.2.340 from clockwork it went to the screen with the droid and the unpacking icon and stopped loading about 1/4 of the way. I had to battery pull. Then tryed to get to my files via bootstrap and when I click on my 2.2.340 back up it say no data or someting along them lines.

 

[gmenfan83]

I've never used the Droid 2 Bootstrap recovery before.

What's the process? I load the program, then which option do I click? Then where does it take me to load these 3 files?

Use d2 the same as dx recovery , load the 3 files on the root of your sd card , go into d2 recovery then
Install zip from sd
Choose zip
Scroll to zip part 1 and install
Zip 2 install
Zip 3 install
Make sure to do them all in order and do not leave recovery until all 3 are flashed

 

[lexluthor]

Ok. Stuck at red M for too long. Now what?!

 

[gmenfan83]

Give it a second it may hang for a few but if it does not something went wrong and you may need to sbf

 

[VoidedSaint]

anyone else get bootloader on this?

 

[JustJosh4]

I'm running it. Downgraded to .340 and upgraded to the new leak no problems. Advanced restore of data worked fine. I can confirm that the CRT lock animation is working too. Just flashed the .zip.
