Root Problem installing GB leak.

finnaginagain · Apr 21, 2011

So i followed the guide and im on android 2.2.1, and when i go in to recovery to install the zip from sd card it tells me its bad. I used droid x bootstrap to do the recovery and this is the error message.

Ive already made a backup the install from sd card gives me this

(bad)
installation failed

Can anyone help me out here? i really wanna try out the new leak and have followed the guide multiple times with the same error message PLEASE HELP!!!!!

not a newb btw never used .sbf tho

Good question! Glad you asked it. It's relatively easy! There are directions here: http://androidforums.com/droid-x-al...ide-root-unroot-backup-rom-sbf-overclock.html

Section 4 tells you all you need to do. Make sure you d/l and use the full 2.3.340 sbf and you're golden. If there's something you don't understand, feel free to ask here. We'll keep an eye on this thread for ya!

Trust Steven on this. You don't want to use maderstock to try to get to GB. You will find yourself in a real mess when you do get to the leak. Make sure you SBF the file entitled: Android 2.2.1 System Version 2.3.340 Full (VRZ_MB810_2.3.34_1FF_01)

At what point in the process? Where did you get this error?

finnaginagain · Apr 22, 2011

Rsd life executed the first part fine then when it goes to the next part that's the error I get

Look in the top of the RSDlite program. Which version are you using?

4.7 multi-flash

bbuck002 · Apr 22, 2011

redownload the sbf. I had a problem flashing the first time I tried and decided a fresh download would fix that. It did. Sometimes the files go a little wonky during the download.
to answer your root question, if you upgrade through the 3 patch method from p3droid then you will be upgrading to a rooted GB.
There is a 1 click root on the horizon but I wouldn't suggest it for you right now. No offense but I think you probably need to learn more about sbf'ing and flashing. Just as an example, I can do all these things, but I'm staying away from the new root method until people that know much more about programming tell me its safe to use.

4.9 is the latest.

finnaginagain · Apr 22, 2011

i got it, it was the 4.7 updated to 4.8 and it worked fine. Yeah im not a total newb i usd SBF on my original droid to get back to stock ive just never used it to upgrade so i guess thats why it caught me off gaurd. the only reason i would want to have GB rooted is for the simple fact of overclocking so i might just hold off on it.

finnaginagain · Apr 22, 2011

i def. appreciate all the help guys thats why i come to this forum and no where else! if i have any other problems i will post em here.

alprazolam · Apr 22, 2011

Nevermind...you solved your own problem.

finnaginagain · Apr 22, 2011

yeah that was the first thing i did was realize old was old lol

finnaginagain · Apr 22, 2011

ok so im updated to 2.3.340 and i used z4root and it worked fine im rooted as before. But what im wondering are what are the improvments in GB right now im not noticing a whole lot

Steven58 · Apr 22, 2011

Personally, I think the entire gb experience is a quantum leap over any .340 froyo feel. I recommend it. If you don't like it you can always sbf back to .340..

finnaginagain · Apr 22, 2011

Well I thought I was on gb lol im not. I followed the instructions on the gb leak 2 thread and it just sits at installing update in recovery. Im rooted and on 2.3.340 any help? Really want to try out GB

It does sit. It takes a few minutes. Don't disturb it. It's in three parts and the last part is the quickest.
