Rooted giingerbread leak available on TBH app

Just wanted to tell everyone that TBH released the rooted gingerbread leak on their app a while ago, here's the steps to install it:
1. Sbf to be completely stock, you must have all the stock apps and be on the 2.4.330, so if you sbf to the .29 firmware, update it to the .330 firmware
2. Root your phone and install bootstrap, don't boot into recovery yet!
3. Install the TBH app (if you don't have it, donate to team black hat to get it) and download the 2 files for gingerbread, there's a part 1 and part 2, don't rename them.
4. Boot into clockwork recovery using bootstrap
5. In bootstrap, flash part one of the update, then immediately after without restarting, flash part 2.
6. Restart, you should get the red M logo and boot into gingerbread, if you bootloop boot into recovery by holding the x button on your keyboard when you turn it on and then hold the vol up+down buttons to unlock the menu, once in the menu do a factory reset.
Rooted GB is pretty fast and stable, haven't encountered any bugs yet, battery life is pretty solid (a bit better than froyo), I'm in the process of freezing apps, its difficult now that they added a lot more bloatware that, I have to figure out which of the new apk's to freeze without breaking anything, just a heads up.
Hope you all enjoy your leaked gingerbread!
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL running Leaked Rooted Gingerbread!

I installed the non rooted version of this and it's been working perfectly since last night. No issues at all so far and the battery life seems better but it's still too soon to tell.
All in all, I'd say this is a great release and appears to be better than Froyo even with a ROM. I'm just currently waiting for a way to root it that doesn't involve me having to flash it again and starting from scratch.

You may wait a long time. ..
Any method that can root this without using TBH's files will require a new exploit for GB.

Dumb question, since I'm currently running a DINC2. What's the bootstrap? I've still got my old D2G, and want to put it to use now that this is leaked, but need to learn some of the terminology over here.
Thanks!

Guess it would help to answer you question. Bootstrap is how you reboot into CWR. Its cuz of the locked bootloader from what I gather that its needed

not gonna happen, currently the only way to get a rooted version on the other moto droids (except the OG droid) are to install a rooted version, theres no way to root from within gingerbread.

Hmm... I didn't know that last part there... I guess I should install the TBH version now then before I do any more customization on it. That way It doesn't hurt so much to SBF again.

so basically no need for the TBH root app?

I've seen that posted on some other sites as well since this morning. Apparently it's the same files from the TBH app. I believe you only needed the app initially to download them and nothing else so now you can flash them on your own.

the rooted version on the tbh app was released first, if you know tbh you know that when they have a leak, they like to release it on the app first, then maybe a day or so later release it to the public, when i made this post it was only available on the app.

I've been asking on My Droid World, but I haven't gotten any replies yet. I need the /system/etc/security/cacerts.bks from the new release, because I altered my cacerts.bks to add CAcert's root and now the checksum doesn't match, and therefore this won't install. Can someone send me their cacerts.bks?

There you go.
But this is from stock 2.4.330 version which I presume is what you actually need for the verification to complete.

Which files are missing? You don't need to extract the ZIP files on your PC, just flash them.

use the 2nd mirror i had no trouble with it

Way to go Team Black Hat... GB is such an upgrade over Android 2.2!
For anyone else having trouble booting CWM: I finally realized I needed to ditch DroidX bootstrap for Droid2. I'm quite happy TBH gets to keep my second donation/payment on Market.

Ok I am pretty busy this weekend, how ever below is a few files for you guys. I know some doesn't belong here but since I nabbed them I figured I would throw them in the post also. Now since I am not familiar with the process of flash recovery with the htc unlock. If someone would be kind enough to post the commands, it would save me some time. How ever be warned this does not have the wimax stuff in it. As it has been a good while since I played with a shift 4g. In turn I almost forgot all about the wimax stuff.
Any way here goes.

I have no idea if it will work, but don't see why it won't at least boot. Since I don't know what issues you guys had to begin with. Not sure what the recovery may have issue wise. Let me know if it boots and if keys are mapped correct. Functions you can test though be warned to do so at your own risk.

[HELP] CM9 Issues..

So I've upgraded to CM9(cm9-droid3-20120216-2345) which went fine.. However I have no service, no market, and for some reason the USB/Portal doesn't work the same with CM9.. So I can't flash my phone, and when I try to use backup/recovery to Clockwork Recovery through safestrap I am getting "Couldn't open directory. No files found."
I know the files are there, I can see them when I go to 'Install zip from sdcard'.. At this point I just want to get back to SuperCharged_V_5 and I have been beating my head all morning over this.. I have no idea what else to try from here as RSD Lite does not pick up my phone anymore.. What do I do guys

I guess I didn't read the fine print, but yea at this point I just want to get back to SuperCharged_V_5.. Any time I try to restore it doesn't find my SDCARD but I can see everything if I go to Install Zip from SDCARD

It does not work for our phone yet. lfaber06 and I have been working on it and CM7 for SEVERAL months now. The issue with CM9 is finding a radio for our phone that works with ICS (which is what CM9 is based off of). Go take a look at the post in the development section on it.
For those that would like to take a look at flashing it, you MUST use safestrap, which is having issues right now, and is very low priority since we have CWM through bootstrap and the CWM on boot hack.
Here is where the CM9 post is located, but I advise that you read the WHOLE thread, and if you would like to help you can start looking for a working radio that is similar to ours that is already on ICS.

Okay, so how do you put safestrap on the atrix 2 because i tried to flash the barely alpha cm9 to my atrix 2 and i bricked my phone, but now i realise that i had to have safestrap. i really want to try this rom so can anyone point me out to how to get safestrap?

The port does not work period. It was only posted for our dev team to help get it working. It is not going be working anytime soon.
I am working on a new CM9 compile specifically for our phone. I already have most of CM7 working as well, will be getting that out soon. CM9 will be a couple months away.

If you can go fastboot mode, then you should use the restore 2.3.5 fastboot script look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1539167

In the meantime if you absolutely must mess around with ICS on your phone, all the Droid 3 4.0.4 AOKP nightlies will flash via bootstrap, but again, radio doesn't work.

Atrix 2 ics leak #2 stuck on cm10 boot!

Okay, so here's a long story short. I flashed AT&T ICS leak #2 when I first got my replacement due to a brick. I ran SCV7 for a week or so and decided to try out CM10. I restored my backup of stock/rooted backup. Uninstalled highjacks, packages and app (bootmenu) itself. I then installed our OG A2 bootstrap, installed fine, installed CM10, played around with it for awhile. Realized I didnt reinstall the OG A2 Bootstrap so went ahead and did that. (without booting into recovery yet) I then later in the day decided to REBOOT my phone to only find me stuck on the CM10 boot animation. I battery pulled, plugged in to see if any recovery would show, none, just the battery charge percentage. I then battery pulled again, got into stock recovery, tried a data and cache wipe to no effect. My problem is, there is NO FXZ for the AT&T leak #2, I have no recovery besides stock and the only thing I can do is take my 32GB SD card out and add/delete files/everything. I saddly did not make a copy of the system.img but was wondering if anyone else possibly did? This would be greatly appreciated as I am stuck with a soft brick until then or a new FXZ to work with AT&T leak #2. Any suggestions or help is very much appreciated. Thanks all for reading and I'm praying for a miracle in my phone right about now lol!

Hey, and sort of welcome back...
But I hate to be the bearer of bad, bad news... you have a softbrick, and there is NOTHING you can do.
Next time, read everything in an OP... LOL, look who I am telling this to....
The CM10 installs come with their own CWM built in, and flashing bootstrap is what bootlooped you, so after you get another warranty replacement (yes, you HAVE to do this), I would install leak #1 ONLY, then flash cm10 with bootstrap, then do not reinstall any boot hijacks or CWM "like" recovery (bootmenu), because all you have to do it hit the vol down button right as you see the blue led flash during the M dual core logo.

Or enter the CM10 recovery menu and so on and so forth.
This is how I got out of a cm10 boot-loop.
I just restored from bootmenu backup via adb.

I will get with alteredlikeness and see if we can possibly think of something together on this one. The first thought would be to try an mearet/searet fxz for 2.3.6 since they can fxz back with out any mods to thier 2.3.6 or 2.3.5 fxz from thier ICS leaks, but I am thinking that will still brick you, but interested to see anyhow.
So I will see if alteredlikeness and I can think of some other way to try. He or I will PM you either way.

OK, so finally I recovered my phone from flashing an unsigned system.img on the 67.21.125 ICS (The second version).
I'll go into detail later but here is what I did:
First, I flashed everything included in my fxz minimal.fastboot files.
Second, I flashed the 2.3.6 boot, system, and webtop partition (DON'T FLASH ANY OTHERS RATHER THAN THE boot,system, and grfs img's or you will hard brick your device).
Third, I entered recovery and applyed the first ICS leak, then it went into fastboot and complained about recovery and cdt so I flashed it from the minimal fxz's. And then I re-applyed the ics leak and then Something unreal happened, it booted :laugh::laugh::laugh:.
Last, I OTA'ed to the .125 leak again and everything was back to %100 normal.
And thats the end of the story, someone can write a tutorial from there .

Accually, It is not downgrading to gb but getting ics working again. If you try to boot gb instead of going to recovery, then you would boot loop.
So if your bricked, then this is the solution to fix it.

Well, a few things are not so clear yet - give us a little while to try and come up with a more direct way - or for tcf to put together a guide - but this is my understanding (please correct me or add if necessary, tcf):
He's talking about the minimal fxz package he put together from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912035 (which only has a linux script I believe - but you could flash them one by one through the command prompt in windows - or, we could get a batch file made up also).
Then, the system.img, recovery.img, and grfs.img only from 2.3.6 (found in the 2.3.6 fxz from here or the same are in the leak#1 2.3.6 fxz).
Then he applied the leak#1 ota package.
Got thrown back into fastboot.
Flashed the cdt.bin again from the minimal fxz package (which is actually from ICS leak#2/soak package) -- but not sure if he flashed recovery.img from there again also..
Then he re-applied the leak (#1?) again - and it booted to ICS.
So, I am not sure about the timing of things or how it exactly worked out yet, but I notice the linux script for the minimal fxz package doesn't have a reboot-bootloader before the cdt.bin flash - also there should probably be a pause after the reboot-bootloader lines to allow it to reboot completely before attempting to flash the next file. That may be partial reason for the multiple flashings of the cdt.bin.. but, again, maybe not - maybe it's all in some magical order... though a few of us will be digging a bit deeper into this I'm sure.
Thanks again to tcf38012 for pushing this thought of upgrading back to the leak - we were on that path at one time, but the pieces of the puzzle weren't fitting together..

Well, a few things are not so clear yet - give us a little while to try and come up with a more direct way - or for tcf to put together a guide - but this is my understanding (please correct me or add if necessary, tcf):
He's talking about the minimal fxz package he put together from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912035 (which only has a linux script I believe - but you could flash them one by one through the command prompt in windows - or, we could get a batch file made up also).
Then, the system.img, recovery.img, and grfs.img only from 2.3.6 (found in the 2.3.6 fxz from here or the same are in the leak#1 2.3.6 fxz).

Thanks for trying to clarify this. It seems like it would be time consuming for me to try since I'm a windows user. I am glad that he did find a way to get some of our soft bricked users back on track.

thanks for good job, waiting your instructions....

Yeah, this great man! I got an A2 that is stuck at the boot logo from a screw up on the second leak. I have a Samsung skyrocket now, so I'm the perfect guinea pig to try out what you need! Eagerly awaiting further instructions!

Did Anyone tested this?

I'll write a tutorial after school which I'm about to go to (High School). I get home at 3:45 - 4:30 and I get done my homework at 5:00 - 5:30 so I'll try to write it at 5:45.
Just hang in there!
Cheers!!!
