Root Birdmans new rom flyX

[madAdam]

Nice. I wish I could restore my Nandroid backup and try again. But without root I'm back to square one.

Any FlyXers try 2.3.13 yet?

I want to, but I'd hate to lose root. I'm not too savvy with ADB since I rooted my phone originally with the universalandroot method.

Can't beat just 1 simple click.

I went from FlyX to 2.3.13 using the nadroid backup and did not have any problems at all.

Where can I find it? I wonder if it could help me restore root.

Decided to give the new leak a try. Unfortunately, I lost root and the XDA Developers Droid2 method isn't working for me.

Anyone running FlyX having the same problem?

i didn't.. i just used the nandroid backup that was provided.. its the latest froyo leak with root..

Currently im running The tranquility rom and want to give FlyX a shot. Can i just install it over it or should i go to a backup and then install it? Thanks

Got root back, but had to copy su and busybox to xbin instead of bin. Using xda-developers method, I was getting "too many symboic links error". Found this fix. After running ./rageagainstthecage substitute xbin for bin:

cp /sdcard/su /system/xbin/su
cp /sdcard/busybox /system/xbin/busybox
chmod 4755 /system/xbin/su
chmod 4755 /system/xbin/busybox
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

Hi guys, bit of a noob here. I decided to try and root and upgrade my phone to froyo 2.2 yesterday. I have never done anything like this so it was a bit scary since i wasn't sure I could fix it if something went wrong. I now have froyo 2.2 root and fly x running on my phone.
Everything is going great but my only concern is how do i go back to stock 2.1 if i need to. I mean if i want to update flyx rom later on if birdman makes a new one how do i do it. Some insite from you professionals would be great thank you.

To go back to 2.1 -> rootzwiki.com and download 'The Bomb'

If FlyX makes another ROM (which he is currently) - he will make it so you can do so from 2.2 - don't worry about going back to 2.1

You will only need to go back to 2.1 if you want the official OTA update or you want to return the phone and don't want to be denied service based on breaking your warranty. If Birdman or anyone makes a new ROM it will be based on 2.2 and you just move forward so to speak. Birdmans next ROM will probably add to FLyx final, Tranquility will add to what he has done. You shouldn't need to return to 2.1 to apply new ROMS.

However if you do find yourself needing to revert to Stock 2.1 you will need to learn how to flash the SBF file using RSDlite.
