Support Need some advice on path to updating to Froyo

1. To get into recovery mode, make sure you disconnect from the PC and press and hold Camera+Power until M appears, release power. Triangle appears, press Vol Up and Then Camera. If that does not work try pressing X on the keyboard and power until the triangle shows up.

2. To apply update.zip you first have to flash vulnerable recovery through RSDLite. It does not erase the phone or anything and takes 30 seconds. To do that go to bootloader mode (press up button on the dpad and power to get there) and connect the phone to PC, flash with RSD.

3. If you are going to use GOT 2.2.1 ROM then also use GOT OpenRecovery 2.0 as it already has some fixes needed for 2.2.1.

If you are rooted you can also use the app called QuickBoot which allows you to reboot, reboot into recovery, reboot into bootloader.

 

1. If you have GOT OR it will only make it easier.
2. I can only recommend GOT because it is the one I am using.
3. GOT's OR has some fixes preconfigured so it needs less fixing on your own.
4. The procedure to install it:
a. Make sure you backup your stuff, but read about restoring the backups on GOT's website.
b. Use instructions on GOT's website on checking and writing down your Android device ID to save yours. (The *.db file is located in data/data/com.android.sproviders.settings/databases/settings.db - this is where you check it before flashing and here you add it after flashing).
c. Go to GOT website, carefully read the instructions there and download the appropriate file.
d. Use RSD to flash the phone.
e. Boot into recovery and apply the fixes, remove stock apps, root the phone.
e. Restore your Android device ID you wrote down in step b.

Enjoy the new 2.2 ROM.

P.S. If you have any questions on anything that is not described clearly on the GOT website post in this topic and I will try to help you (I think epecially the part with Android ID may be tricky).
