So I want to do the new sw update but can't because I deleted some stock apps so the checksum wouldn't match and a hard reset won't restore them I guess so I would flash a stock rom but am I right thinking there isn't one yet? So how can I get to an original rom and then update or maybe make the new update work?
D2G stock rom
I don't know if the update will be compatible or not but from my understanding this is pretty much the stock rom that Motorola handed Verizon to put all their bloatware on then release the phone. I did load this rom on my d2g and it works flawlessly. Might be worth a try, not a direct link but will get you headed in the right direction. The rom manager gives you the opportunity to load the barebones stock google rom or the Vanilla based version, it just downloads and flashes, works perfect I didn't even have to re-activate. It is already pre-rooted so maybe the update won't work but I just wanted to make you aware of it. I work at verizon and did the update to the floor model and my dad's stock d2g also and didn't notice any difference really. I think vzw is just fixing some of the bugs that they created anyway so having the stock rom may end up with the same result, a rom that functions perfectly, good luck!.......droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-roms/106629-rom-fission-2-4-droidx-vanilla-generic-android-aosp-like-fission-rom-manager.html
@evil yeah im kind of in the same boat, let me know if srensber solution works for you.
I froze a bunch of apps with Titanium Backup and renamed some stuff with Root Explorer. I recently just re-named everything i changed back to the factory stuff (bak -> apk) but it still doesnt seem to do any good.
I did create a number of back ups using Rom manager but i cant seem to find out where they are located and how to restore them. hmm. Not sure what to do.
Ah i realize what ive done wrong ... i didnt know you had to have bootstrap installed along with clockwork recoveryy in order to make a backup hmm. Going to need a rom of stock d2g lol.
clockwork recovery installs a boot hijack, which might be the culpirt

I cant seem to find the download link anywhere... and after you loaded this rom did you try to update to 2.4.3 ?
If anyone else has any input about this please help!
I rooted my Samsung mesmerize and deleted some apps.
Now I have a blank screen and can't find no apps. I've
tried everything, Took out battery with no luck.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
You gotta be careful deleting factory apps.
If you made a backup first, try restoring that. If not, your best bet is to perform an odin flash back to stock (though if you're gonna do that, you might as well flash the EC10 release and have froyo).
From there, if you want the stock experience but less bloatware, just flash the pick-n-pack rom in the development forum (just make sure it's the same baseband version that you flashed via odin). The pick-n-pack rom is a stock rom with everything that can be safely removed pulled out of it, and has been modified to support third party themes. There are also addon packs which can be used to add back in whatever stock apps you might still want.

As of right now I have flashed CM7 from this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142872
1. Since when one flashes CM7, the file systems are converted to MTD... If I decided to flash MUIU, everything should still remain intact correct?
2. In the thread mentioned above, it says that I should not flash ROMs through CWM anymore after flashing CM7... What other methods of flashing ROMs can one use besides Odin? Why is this the case? and is there any other method to flash ROMs just using my mesmerize and not a computer?
3. If I were to flash MUIU, is there anyway to keep all of my apps, the accompanying data (settings, stored data, etc..) with the apps, contacts, old text messages, and so on??? Can I use this data interchangably between ROM flashes?
Thanks in advance...
As for flashing. What that means is not to use the three finger method anymore and to only use the recovery gotten to by holding power. Choosing reboot then choosing recovery.
As for MIUI what I would do is make a backup in the recovery I mentioned above. Then you can use an app like titanium backup to backup your apps before flashing MIUI. You can then flash MIUI in the same recovery mentioned above and your apps should be fine. If not. Then you can restore them with titanium backup.
Then in the event you don't like MIUI. You can go back to recovery and just restore the backup you made previous and be back on cm7

Thank you so much for your help. I am about to give it a try.
which version of MUIU would you recommend??? I see that there are issues with WiFi.
Honestly man, I haven't tried MIUI personally. I would recommend reading through the thread and just seeing which version most people are staying with. I wish I could give ya more but without trying it myself that's the best I can tell ya.

where would I find my contacts in titanium backup if I want to restore it individually and not using batch?
I would use Google to back them up. I personally don't use titanium. I used the advanced restore option in CWM. But for contacts. I would let Google sync them. That way as soon as you sign in on your.phone they restore.

If that doesn't do it,
Use titanium backup.
Batch backup all your user apps.
Wipe data and factory reset your current rom.
Verify the problem exists before re installing your personal apps (don't use the market app untill the end of this process).
If the problem exists, I would sbf back to stock and start over from scatch.
If the problem goes away, start restoring your user apps/data one at a time in titanium backup to try to replicate the problem. It could be just one or more apps conflicting with each other.
If you can identify which app(s) are causing the problem, uninstall the app(s) and download them again from the market (or other source) to install them fresh.
This may solve your problem. If not, then either try using other apps or doing without the problem apps (assuming you can identify the offending apps).
After this go ahead and enter the market app for your other/paid apps
As always, every device is different (even the same model, running the same rom, with the same apps installed) and sometimes there are unusual problems for individual phones.

Question posed by ME
I have been seeing this on multiple threads so I want a clarification. Please.
Cm7 comes with cm recovery baked in (froyo & gb?). Rom Manager won't work with out flashing cwr. For that flash droidx 2nd init.
1) If you are not going to use rom manager, do you need to flash this?
2) bootstrap recovery conflicts with cm7 and MIUI. How do you get to cwr if everything fracks up? When you bootstrap you can get to cwr by doing battery pulls.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Answer from bikedude880 @ rootzwiki
It is highly recommended to install cwm via Rom Manager as CM7 /removes/ bootstrap entirely on install. Newer version can restore older, but not the other way around. Battery pulls are still applicable.

I have a couple questions.
#1 can I flash a nandroid of a different device to recover this one if things go wrong?
#2 when updating the cm7gb revnumbers kang, do we have to factory reset and wipe data/cache?
#3 can you reflash on top of the current rom to reset the system software/settings etc. (To get rid of scripts and mods and be fresh) without factory reset and wipe data/cache? So as not to loose apps and settings etc...

There are no non-US D2Gs. Use the stock 4.5.608 (or 4.5.629 if it was somehow updated to 4.5.629).
Either try ezSBF or RSDLite the proper official 4.5.608

Naturally, on CM7, the device cannot be unlocked.

Edit: saving this space...
most stable rom?
This is a great collection, thanks for the legwork.
Noob Question, if I may: I'm currently on Hexen/Froyo and wanting to upgrade to GB. Is there a general opinion on the question of "Most Stable GB Rom", currently? Or some sort of high-level pros/cons discussion? Searching the forums doesn't really yield good results - mostly it's people with problems, or folks who don't know how to sbf. I'm basically interested in finding out which one crashes the least, or conversely, the one that "you just like, even w/ the occasional reboot".
I reckon the following are on the table: Apex, Liberty, MIUI, & CM7; not sure if either Venus, or the VZ stock GB are even worth considering...? (What's the skinny on Venus? I read it's garbage/banned, and then I read elsewhere that it's just fine... big wtf there.)
Thanks in advance; long time reader, 1st-time poster. Have a good one out there.
Stock Gingerbread is very stable. Unlike stock Froyo, it's not as slow as well; the Gingerbread version of Blur is a lesser resource hog.
Stock 2.3 will also give you the best battery life so far, according to my research. (I get up to 36 hours on a single charge with GPS and WiFi on 24/7.) Just root it, and freeze some bloatware. You can also use a 3rd party launcher instead of the stock Blur one.
Random reboots happen with the stock ROM, however not quite often. For example, my phone usually reboots itself after 400-450 hours of uptime.
MIUI and CM7 are only stable for CDMA users. On GSM, there are numerous issues with WiFi and mobile data.
I honestly only have experience with Hexen(froyo) which was great and CM4D2G-GB (CM7).
CM7 has lots of great features but imo is not quite as polished as hexen yet. Stable for the most part on cdma but some users complain of bluetooth issues(think its the bt devices not the phone or rom. There are sooooo many different kinds out there it is hard to build for all.) Also remember we are still in nightlies for cm7-GB. It will get better...
Still both are better than blurstock.
Follow the links I provided if you want a more in depth look at the roms...
Droid2 Global CM4D2G-GB-20111217 ***CM7 RevNumbers Kang***
Thread stuck
Ran through 'em all quickly
So just a quick report - I decided to get really friendly with RSD Lite today. Overall results:
- no CM7 (what's this 2nd-init business? Maybe I missed something here)
- Apex installed fine
- Liberty installed fine
- MIUI looks kinda freaking AWESOME, but it wouldn't reboot for me, after I'd tried to install Droid 2 Bootstrapper.
I performed the following sequence many times, except when switching from Apex to Liberty, that was the only rom switch that went gracefully. All others required:
- SBF to Froyo .330
- apply upgrade.zip (.607)
- Rooted w/Droid 3 one-click
- Installed Droid 2 Bootstrapper
- - Bootstrapped recovery
- - Rebooted recovery
- Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe Dalvik
- install rom from zip.
Let me know if you think I missed something in that process, w/r/t CM7 or MIUI. Tired of flashing though, probably just gonna settle on a coin-toss between Apex & Liberty.
One more step. After all that and maybee after you get your base of personal apps going, fix permissions.
I am not sure if it makes a difference if you do it in recovery or through rom manager(or another app).
_______________________________________________________________________
Once you flash cm7-GB you no longer should use bootstrap recovery. There is a conflict of some kind. Get around this by installing ROM Manager and flashing ClockworkMod Recovery (droid X 2nd init). After that you are good to go. I have had no problems. If you want more info on this, follow the link to the cm7-gb thread and read, read, read.... it is in there or the dev thread (which is linked to in the OP of the users thread)

You must not install Droid 2 Bootstrap on MIUI. MIUI includes CWM. CM7 also includes CWM.
And CM7 installs like every other ROM.
Not sure why would you flash the SBF image every time. You only need to flash it in case you are unable to enter CWM.

that was the case, i was unable to get into CWR at all. For example with CM7, I did all that, rebooted, and it just hung at the red "M" logo, and I could only get back into the "Android Recovery <e3>" area. i tried a few different ways of re-installing the O.G. gingerbread update.zip (.607) file, but nothing would work, so I just wound up SBF'ing then running update.zip, then re-rooting, then re-installi.... you get the point.
But again, this is only the 3rd rom I've ever tried, and the first 2 were on Froyo and both ran perfectly fine. Thanks for the tip on not installing Droid 2 Bootstrap onto MIUI... hah, "duh" says me.
On ICS MIUI, press Volume Down when you see the LED light up (blue) while the red Motorola logo is still displayed.
This will take you to the boot menu, and from there you can access CWM.

Hi Gasai,
I am also a GSM user... but I suffer from terrible battery life possibly because of the number of apps I have installed. Do you have very few apps installed ?
Also I understand that our only real option is stock blur minus bloat . Or is there anything else ?
I run stock because it's the most stable 2.3 ROM I know as of this moment. Neither MIUI nor CM7 developers care about GSM anyway.
Battery life varies for me from 18 to 32 hours, but I rarely use my phone for more than 1-2 hours a day.

Droid2 Global CM4D2G-GB-20111217 ***CM7 RevNumbers Kang***
I have a D2G and I used to run Froyo-based CM7, but since the Gingerbread version is further along in development I went back to Gingerbread by SBFing. So I'm on 4.5.608 and neither of the two times I tried to flash CM7 did it work. I had to SBF twice. The first time, I got the file from Rootzwiki, and the second time I got the "7.1 Stable" file from Rom Toolbox. I used the same Google Apps package on both attempts.
So my questions are:
1. Can a Google Apps package get you stuck at the boot logo?
2. If the problem is my file, where can I go to get a good one?

The first time, I got the file from Rootzwiki, and the second time I got the "7.1 Stable" file from Rom Toolbox. I used the same Google Apps package on both attempts.
So my questions are:
1. Can a Google Apps package get you stuck at the boot logo?
2. If the problem is my file, where can I go to get a good one?

In order for a Gingerbread ROM to boot it needs the Gingerbread Kernel. Are you booting with a white Motorola logo or a red one?
If it's still white and you're trying to boot Gingerbread CM7 it may be worth it to try to grab the .608 Gingerbread kernel from the TBH hack and flash that in. I've attached it to this post just in case.

7.1 Stable is probably the “official” CM7 build 7.1.0, from the cyanogenmod site.
That one is for Froyo (i.e. can only be installed over 2.4.x stock firmware).
As for RootzWiki builds… did you wipe data prior to or after installing the ROM via CWM?

Red. The SBF file put me in this situation:
System version: 4.5.608.A956.Verizon.en.US
Android version: 2.3.3
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-gb092e69w360842ca25rhe92 #2
Build number: 4.5.1_57_D2G-38

Yeah, the reason is didn't download the stable one first is because I thought as far as anyone had gotten was 7.0 nightlies. I'm just baffled right now as to why I can't get the Gingerbread CM7. I hate stock haha
Before I flash, I backup, reboot, factory reset, wipe data, cache, dalvik, and even battery stats. Then I install CM, then gapps package, then reboot.
Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it!
Could you specify the file names for both CM7 and gapps you're using?
And you're wrong about RW builds being 7.0; they use the current CM7 source tree, and the “stable 7.1.0” is basically one of old Froyo builds by revnumbers.
Actually, I got everything from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1297517.html
I used the latest version "update-cm-7.1.0-DROID2WE" and the "gapps-gb-20110828".
The second time I used the CM file from Rom Toolbox and the same Google Apps package. So if a bad gapps package can eff you over, that's probably it. I just don't want to waste my time and try again before I have some xda-genius opinions haha
This is the Froyo-only “official” build. It will never work with a Gingerbread kernel.
As for ROM Toolbox, I have no idea. The gapps package seems to be the right one, however.
Head to http://ez-netsolutions.com/synik4l/x13thangelx/D2G/cm/ for the latest build of CM7 for the D2G. x13thangelx is currently the lead developer working on this project.
Thanks a lot!!!!!! You're the best haha I'll let you know if it works.
Refer to this thread on RootzWiki for more information: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/3069-dev-threaddroid-2-global-cm7-with-gingerbread-leak-kernel/; note that the opening post hasn't been updated since forever, so you won't find the current build there.
And use this thread if you have any questions: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/4922-cm7-for-droid2-global-users-thread/
Not necessary haha, but I got it and it's working and beautiful and every setting has been adjusted and I'm super happy again!=D You're my hero.
