[Q] Droid 2 Global flashing Gingerbread ROM

I recently rooted and have been working on modding my D2G (Froyo 2.2). Found the Gingerbread ROM and flashed it using RSD Lite. When I rebooted, I was back in an UNrooted Froyo 2.2
Thoughts?
Edit: Umm, I might have just done a really n00bish thing and flashed a stock 2.2 ROM DROID2WE_X6_2.4.29_FULL.sbf (Got off of TeamBlackHat app). Is there a Gingerbread ROM for D2G out?
Thanks!

Not yet but soon

Looks like an option to me:
But I can't post links until I have eight or so posts...

the droid2 and droid2 global share different basebands and the same radios wont work. I tried it... until someone can unlock the basebands on the global with GB, we're stuck on froyo.

[Q] Anyone getting the KJ6 update today? update: confirmed

Saw some chatter on Twitter about a possible update for our device (@TMoNews was the source of it all).
Anyone not rooted and noticing an update? Curious if there is an official GB update rolling out. Seems fitting given all of the leaks recently.
Thanks,

The tweet is from TmoNews: "Any Galaxy S 4G owners seeing an update today?"
At least one person has reported something being delivered.

so what would i have to do coming from one of the first ICBINB roms? i'd like to just run the stock GB if possible. can i just update it? or would the custom / rooted rom not allow me to?

Yeah, I'm wondering how to do this from a froyo rom too. I'd love stock Gingerbread.

i just wonder if you plug in the rooted / custom rom'd phone it would have a chance to brick it , etc etc. i know with my hd2 anytime you flashed a stock rom (wm 6.5 lol) it would simply override everything

I'm on audiophile. I'll try the upgrade and let you guys know how it goes

Thanks, I am running Linux on my Laptop and Kies doesn't work through VM so this will definitely help me.

I upgraded through keis with two.sgs4g phones. One had trigger kd1 ROM with root voodoo cwm the other was never modified just kd1. Both you need to press speaker twice during call to get mic working in a call. How do I fix ? I did factory reset too.

[SBF] "Bug Solver" 2.2.1 for Israel Devices

I have been getting complains from people with a Yellow Cellcom Sim card, that they cannot use ROMs like CM7.
I found a ROM that works great with all of this, even better than the NORDIC when it comes to CM7.
This is a leaked 2.2.1 with MOTOBLUR, will upload a nand later
Download:
http://depositfiles.com/en/files/tjnmh6d98
Instructions:
Power off your phone
Hold Volume Up and turn on your phone Battery must be 90% and up
Flash via RSD Lite, make sure you have the proper drivers installed
The phone will turn on by it self, unplugging while flashing will cause a permanent brick.
Flash any Custom 2.3+ Rom

You don't have to flash any SBF. Your DEFY+ comes with a Gingerbread firmware, right? (It's Android 2.3.x?)
You just need to use the "plus" version of the ROM. There are various names for those versions - jordan plus, defy plus or MB526.
(The standard (jordan/defy/MB525) versions are for phones with Froyo firmwares (Android 2.2.x).)

Its defy plus after i flashed it as mb526 instead of 525 is it matters?
And how can i download the right version of quarx for me?

This is not the right thread for your question(s). If you want to install CM10.1 or CM10 they both have Support threads in the Defy General Discussion forum
P.S. Quarx is a guy named Nicolas, are you sure you want a version of HIM? :silly:
P.P.S. Here's the answer anyway - CM10 and CM10.1 are now 2ndboot ROMs - they have a custom kernel contained within and because of that they are universal, the same ROM is used for both DEFY and DEFY+!
Now please stop psoting in the wrong thread

Using the Infuse on stock ROM. Do not want to install Custom ROM. Queries

I have just bought an Infuse from ebay (not received yet) and this is for my younger brother. I am just evaluating whether i need to install a custom ROM and give him the phone or just give him on stock ROM. I will be unlocking and rooting the phone as need to use with an Indian mobile service.
My brother is not a power user and do not care anything about over clocking etc etc. He has no knowledge of ROM installation or anything.
Also we would want the USB to HDMI adapter thing to work with the phone.
Are there any known issues with stock froyo which hamper the day to day use of the phone ?
Does the MHL adapter work on custom ROMs (which are based on leaked GB) ??
Can i remove the AT&T bloatware after rooting the phone ?
Any other information that you would like to give me ?

I personally had huge issues with battery life and performance before flashing a custom ROM (that one being CM7), but if you can work with/around that, you should be fine.

Bloat can be removed after rooting, I did it with titanium backup. I believe the stock leaks do have working hdmi but I don't know of any custom roms that have working hdmi righ tnow.

Battery life sucks on froyo. Look into flashing a stock gingerbread leak using odin. The KL2 leak is the best. If he is not into doing too much to his phone this is the way to go.

+1 Battery Time is terrible on Stock Rom - I hope AT&T release Gingerbread soon ( I was hoping that it would be released by now but now i have lost hope and i think AT&T might just skip this phone for upgrade ).

Ok so is the Gingerbread leak for this phone bug free ? (not the derived custom GB ROMs).
Also i would appreciate a link to the most stable official GB leak for the Infuse.
And does the HDMI work well on it ?

Hers the link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390339
Yes it's stable. As long as you use the stock kernel, hdmi works. Also read through this link first.

Definitely above - you need to flash the bandwidth - either the fix or flash newer. Lots of threads here about that. I got lucky and had done the update through LG before starting with custom roms and it updated it for me which allows me to use ICS and JB roms with no issues. I was also extremely impressed with the increase in reception with the new baseband. I can now stand in the middle of my house and make a call while hubby with his Blackberry stock Torch has to go stand on the porch!
