Is the gb rom worth it??

im starting this thread so that everyone can discuss the GB rom that was released to us.
just so everyone knows if you didnt already, the GB rom we were given is not a real release by samsung and has many errors with it.
samfirmware devs made the GB rom compatible with our phone so its a dev build
as of right now we cant us CWM nor can we customize the rom at all
so in personal opinion maybe everyone should stick to froyo with all its mods and tweaks
also flashing the GB rom causes the GB bootloaders which are really i9000 bootloaders to stick even after flashing back to froyo :/ so maybe the noobs should stay away from the rom until the devs finish building it correctly

So if i flashed this am i screwed with the bootloaders even if i oden back to froyo?

your not screwed its just gonna be a pain in the ass SOMEWHAT to get you back the right bootloaders

You can get the bootloaders back once you flash KC1. Not the deodexed rooted version but the stock one that is with the md5 files.

Be careful everyone. I just want you all to be aware. There have been 3 or 4 hardbricks already. They all came to be because of flashing sbl. Chadster went down last night, so before everyone gets flash happy, please know what you are doing. Just putting it out there.
Oh ya.....and no, gb was not worth it, at least not this build.

Totally worth it now you gotta decide if u want a sense base GB or ASOP...I'm currently running Kings Alliance GB and it fresh to death

alright.. unfortunately all of us who flashed the leak GB ROM will not be able to enjoy what is coming out.. and made it worst I have a nice paper weight sitting on my desk right now.

That's scary to hear! Well I like gb but with the stuff I've been reading, so far to me its not worth dipping your feet in the deep end until a more solid GB is released. I'm always happy to test but the leak GB hasn't been worth it. Just my opinion.

Wow. That's pretty discouraging.
So let me get this straight...
If you flashed the leaked GB Rom at any time you will not be able to enjoy anything else coming out, say, via CWM Recovery?
There's a lot of confusion IMO about this release of GB. I know you'll say, "READ!" Because of how fragmented the information is, do you think it would be helpful to have a compilation of all the known pros and cons, risks and rewards, broken and working components in one stickied post? I would do it, but I'm not sure about everything that is working and not working (and my job could consume any time available to update the post at any moment). I'm using the deodexed version, but I'm walking as if on eggshells with my app usage so as to not break anything (I use it for half personal and half production... I know, illadvised, but could not resist GB).
EDIT: Sorry if there is such a post that I'm suggesting. I just have not seen one. I'm trying to piece together myself what works and what doesn't and the hows.

When I saw how you all were having problems at the very beginning I stayed away and just watched. I'm glad I did. I'm noob.
THANK YOU All for testing people. You saved some of us. Remember that.

Do we have a Odin flashable STOCK KB5 FW somewhere that contains the original boot.bin and sbl.bin files? that really would be the better FW to go with as it was the original that came with the device. Anyone wanna chime in on this theory?

No it's not the same, it's not rooted or tampered with, and the installation method is different. If you want to completely unroot your phone go flash the stock ruu
We don't need people like you complaining about roms you don't like, but you don't see me posting about that now do you?

You did ask if we needed another. A RUU is essential for every official update IMHO

Yeah TBH, I just made this for myself to safely flash the official ruu to see how it runs without loosing my eng spl and custom recovery. And I must say it does seem to run very well for me

No you will not loose those things. The first post describes how to get into bootloader after flashing the update. Only your system partition (rom) and kernel will be the official ruu images.

I just noticed there may be a problem with the name of the .zip. There is a gap in the name so you will probably have to rename it and delete the gap in order for the recovery to be able to flash it.
I will work on fixing it later on but for now renaming it won't hurt the update at all

Thanks again, you have just created my new "fall back plan"...

Yeah this is good to unroot back to the latest factory update
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA Premium App

This is also good for devs to get a chance to try the stock ota if they want to mess around with it. That was the main reason for this update. Hopefully someone will help to get the bootloader unlocked for people who buy a new evo shift . But luckily this update doesn't already have the locked bootloader in it

I just flashed this, and with all my problems, it flashed, but when i reboot, i get to the sprint splash screen, and it just blinks there. So I am currently restoring back to my problematic rom. How can I get the blinking away? That's the only problem.

Are you wiping your system partition?

the updater-script wipes system, data, so that is strange.

sweet! good to know it's finally out there

great work football

Thanks a bunch as usual Football. I always wait for full RUU's these days instead of OTA updates.

I don't have an evo, I helped someone root there's and have them on sprintlovers ROM. I did try to find a clearcut answer but will ask here anyway.
Would running this set the phone back to stock, unrooted with s on? They need to take it back to sprint n im trying to give them an easy method as I haven't had a chance to meet with them to follow the unroot method... Thanks for any help/explanation

No..OTA will turn S On but this is rooted RUU so you can flash it like you normally would
Edit: sorry for some reason I thought i was commenting in the thread with the stock rooted ruu by virus. Anyways it will unroot your phone but will still be S-OFF

Hi,
Just to clarify, I do not believe this is rooted. Football is providing the RUU so this is the untouched OTA for development purposes.

Ok.... So this will return phone completely back or no?? Sorry just some conflicting info so....???
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App

This is stock ruu. For turning phone back to stock, unrooted state.

2.11.605.2 ruu

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...build-2-11-605-2-ruu-for-the-htc-thunderbolt/
Anyone deodexing and rooting this?

Nice find.
Hopefully its the released version of GB for the Tbolt and will work its way into a vartiety of ROMs, such as NonS3ns3.
Do you know what radios go with it?

Is it safe to flash this if I am rooted, running gingerbread with s-off? I know I would lose root. Thanks.

As it stands right now, if you are currently rooted then do not flash this ruu.
Wait until the devs gave time to build and test.
Once a Rom can be pulled from this build, we may get an opportunity to try it out ;-)

Still have the time bomb issue in this rom with Talk and the camera. Must not be that new.

I'm pretty sure he didn't mean the other way around. Think about it... If you take the camera libs from 605.2 put them in a 605.0 ROM you have added all the changes from the new version without creating another virtually identical ROM.

Debloated not necessary. I'd prefer completely stock just rooted.

[Q] What ROM do you guys have?

Since there are 4 or 5 ROM's for our phones... what ROM are you guys running? Stock? Curious

There are that many? Lol I am on a rooted stock, but play with Erik's customized ROM.

Im on Stock too. :silly:

Running stock and unrooted until T-mo/Samsung release ICS for this phone.
I rooted my previous phone (Exhibit 4G) and got rid of the T-mo bloat, can't wait to do the same for this phone. Only reason I haven't rooted is I worry something may interfere with the OTA update whenever it's released.

HA! Me too! On both counts! Got rid of the exhibit and got the blaze instead. Never got voicemails on that undeveloped thing. It's too bad as besides the voicemail issue I had it was a solid phone.
You should be able to get an OTA update even rooted with CWM (it is still the stock rom after all) - but you may end up needing to download the zip and do it yourself. It shouldn't be too hard to find the zip here on XDA for the stock release once it's out. I actually prefer doing it that way- it's faster -as with other devices I've owned the OTA update wouldn't go through until 3-4 days after its release (sensation 4g, streak 7). I have rooted and got CWM on my phone and removed the bloat and LOVE IT.
Coming from a 1st gen Exhibit 4G makes me thankful that so many great devs are actively developing for our Blaze. Thank you!

I still come to wonder.. What happened to the guy who was building a ROM before the blaze even released.?
