Use an SBF.

I am novice when it comes to flashing, rooting, SBFing, etc. I spent endless hours trying to figure out how to get my rooted VZ Froyo to GB. Finally I found a great download that allowed me to boot from a CD on my computer and flash the SBF back to my phone. It worked great I didn't even have to wipe the cache. The phone updated and GB was running. I got it rooted and thought all was going well. Now the only reason I root is to run wireless tether, here is where things went awry.
I find out that it is a big hassle to get tethering to work on GB, thanks Google. So i decide to try and revert back to Froyo. I use the same CD method that worked before, but this time it gets stuck in boot loop. Now I have to wipe the cache and lose all my settings and apps. Finally I get it all back together, minus many apps, I will have to remember them as I go along and re install them. All is all a serious pain in my ass, but a good learning experience.
Now, I wanted to ask a question about Bootstrapper backups. After the SBF and wipe, I rooted again and added Bootstrapper. Then I noticed that some of my backups where still there, (presumable on the SD card). So I tried to load on but it didn't work and the phone got stuck on the Moto icon boot. At this point I thought I had bricked it, but was able to do the CD SBF thing again and just start from scratch. Would there be anyway I could restore one of my backups successfully.
Use Advanced recovery and only restore /data.
Can you tell me what application you used for installing GB? Mine won't update and I don't care that much about tethering.
There's no “application” like that. There's OTA update that can be installed either automatically or via the stock Recovery. You must have your /system FS intact, however. z4root is OK, Droid 2 Bootstrap Recovery isn't. Removing CWM was discussed multiple times, google for “logwrapper.bin” or something like that.
#1 a backup from gb won't work with froyo & vice versa.
#2 tethering is NOT a problem on gb. (After rooting) Just use "open garden" free in market.
#3 I think I know which cd program you are using, it does not install the official ota but a rooted leak (I could be wrong)
There are guides on how to sbf (reset to factory out of box).
And there are guides on rooting and roming

I recently was playing with one of those bloatware freezing apps. I froze only the obvious ones like buddies now etc. Something happened though. After I was done the icon tray was gone, and the home buton did'nt work at all. The phone was basically a brick because I couldn't get to any apps. So I did a factory restore. It did it and some of the apps were still there but crashed. So I uninstalled everything and reinstalled it back through market.
Now things kind of work but everytime I load some apps I get messages like it was installed for the first time even if I ran them before. None of the preferences are saved. If I leave them in RAM they remember but if I go to the task manager and flush RAM when I restart all preferences are gone again. Nothing is being written or saved to the system like it should be. The theme chooser in Astro file manager doesn't work at all.
What the hell is going on and how can I fix it? I am using the stock ROM and rooted.

dave,
if a factory reset didn't fix your problem,
you will have to flash your phone back to stock.
you can use gtg's ultimate unbrick - stock froyo
h8rift root and 3e recovery - stock froyo, rooted with 3e recovery or
adam outler's heimdall one click to gb leak, uckj4 stock.
you can find these in the dev superthread or some of my quick links

Hi,
Sorry I screwed that up. I couldn't get into the interface to do a factory reset. So what i did was flash back to stock with odin. After I did that the apps were still there but many didn't work. I uninstalled them and re-installed and they worked as stated with glitches.
Maybe I needed to flash to stock then do a factory reset to clean things up?

yeah, if you wanted to clean up everything, do a factory reset. Take off all the files and pictures you want from the phone including your micro sd card if you gave one.
Go to settings. Privacy. Factory reset.
Put phone into download mode.
Use gtg's ultimate unbrick if you want to go back to stock froyo. Then do the ota update.
Hey,
So I was a victim of not enough reading and doing to much at one.
I had a rooted stock GB ROM on my D2G and through easy enough, BootStrap, CWM via Rom Manager and flash CM 7.1. All should be good.
WRONG
I got hung up at the red M logo and try various things to revert to stock b/c there was no way I was getting into the CWM recovery console again.
After failing at every corner a random and 10,000th battery pull I ended up in CWM.
Since the one thing I did right was a nandroid backup I was restored it and the phone booted. I then shut down, dropped in SIM (rogers) and booted back up.
Now everytime I reboot it takes me to CWM. Forcing me to hit reboot system now otherwise it sits in recovery.
Any way to have it not boot into recovery? Just boot normal?
Thanks.
First, if you are on Rogers in Canada - do not bother trying CM7 - doesn't work properly on GSM. Stock firmware will be much more useful.
Second - There are two CM7's (if you are determined to try it) - one is Froyo base (the one found on CyanogenMod site) and the other one is GB base. It seems you flashed the Froyo based one on top of Gingerbread thus you ended up stuck on red M logo. To fix the problem - you have to either try flashing GB base CM7 from CWM or (better) SBF and start over. Again - if you want Froyo based CM - use the 2.4.29/2.4.33 SBF. If you want to try the Gingerbread based one (check rootzwiki for more info), flash the GB SBF that was recently made available or flash 2.4.29/330 and OTA to 4.5.608. Root, CWM and so and so. But pick your CM7 package carefully!
But if you are not on CDMA - you better don't waste your time with CM7.
Thanks for the reply. The phone boots fine now.
One question tho.
I have some how lost the Accounts and Sync Option.
If I do a factory reset (from phone settings not recovery mode)will I loose root and will I loose the Gingerbread OTA update that was done on the phone before I got it?
Or do you know how to recover something like Accounts and Sync?
I am going to be sticking with the Stock ROM
Have you disabled any system apps? This could be a reason for broken accounts.
As far as factory reset, either from phone menu or from recovery, will not remove root or any other changes you might have made in /system. It simply deletes /data partition.

Thanks I discovered that I had deleted the "Setup.apk" without backing up.
Retrieved that app from another member and all is well.
if i update to ICS.. i then i would like to get phone back to stock like it's new froyo.. is there any trouble? what about Gb BL's?
Pd: even if you are using a custom rom.. does Kies have to recognize my phone?.. because mine doesnt..

1st i wouldnt recoment using Kies to anything with the Infuse
2nd read up on how to use Odin or Heimdall for the infuse
theyre the quickest and possibly the safest ways to jump from diff firmware
3rd GB BL shouldnt affect anything once you have the GB ones i believe
but i strongly recommend either Heimdall and Odin
Search GTG Ultimate Unbrick
and why froyo when you ve got amazing GB Roms and a pretty good ICS rom??
just curious
After flashing ICS if you want to go back to froyo/gb simply use Heimdall one click/Odin. Done and done. I've done it several times, no errors, no consequences

Malisiousintent's post above is perhaps the best way to go back from CM9. Here is an alternate way that may be more comfortable for some (respectfully submitted) After wiping data, cache, and dalvik as usual go to mounts and storage and format system, data, and cache. (You can not do a restore at this point) Do a fresh install of the rom you want to go back to and reboot. If you do not have a restore then set it up as you wish and you are good to go. If you have a restore, skip through the setup, let the media scanners finish then reboot into recovery. Wipe only cache and dalvik - go to backup and restore and choose the rom to restore. Obviously it will be a version that you customized of the fresh install you just did. Reboot and all will be like it was pre- ICS. Have done this and it works fine.
You can't go all the way back to Froyo from ICS - there is no way to revert the bootloaders. You can go back to Gingerbread easily.
"stock" on the Infuse is now Gingerbread anyway, now that UCLB3 is official.
currently have phone rooted and want to reset phone to factory conditions. whats the easiest way? thanks. want to trade phone in for $$ and thinking it needs to be back to factory settings.:good:
RSD Lite back to stock. Resets everything back to stock, including recovery.
