Okay this is a headache - Droid 2 Global General

Here's a strange one guys and gals.
So I'm a former D2G user; (started with the og D2). I have a Rezound now but I want to play with cm9 and aokp on my D2G. The kicker is, I sbf'ed my phone to 2.6.32.9, which isn't even the most recent froyo update let alone gingerbread. Long story short, I can't update the phone unless its activated. Can I run a gb sbf and do sort of a forwards sbf?

what is your current system version

If you don't know how to bypass the activation screen, just touch the corners in a clockwise fashion starting with top left.

I know how to bypass the lockscreen, but system update is greyed out. I'm on the first version of froyo that this phone shipped with. System version is is 2.4.29 and kernel version is 2.6.32.9 as I stated earlier.

I don't think there should be a problem doing a GB SBF. Going forward usually isn't an issue (for example, carrier unlock users do that, taking care to preserve the .330 radio).
Since you have a choice, I would go with 4.5.608, where you can easily root and SBF back if needed.

[UPDATE 11.22]2.32.651.2-rootable!! + info-

2.32.651.2 is available. I got a new hero today and updated OTA to the new software. then I applied this root method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804296
ive been deleting much bloat. the update has a new baseband, new software, new PRI. kernel is the same. im sure theres more that i dont know about.
This update makes it feel fast and responsive. To me-a little smoother than the last .7 official.
sprint zone is in here...SprintZone.apk
I havent flashed clockwork yet but i intend to...right now

sorry i can't tell you one or the other; however, i was curious why you're jumping on a hero instead of something like the lg optimus s which is cheaper and has gotten great reviews?
one obvious negative of picking another device is that the community isn't quite there for it yet, but... i know it is rooted at least.
also, if it's a matter of price, two of my brothers ordered their evo's from this site:
http://ordersprint.cellbenefits.com/ind/sprint/devices.html
the prices seem unreal, to be honest. but it might be worth looking at what they have available. much cheaper than direct from sprint and the lg ends up being $50 in your pocket after contract, rebates, and/or giftcards.
anyway, just a thought. i do love my hero, but this late in the game, i'd be looking to snag a slightly more modern device. or, maybe you could find one to buy from people in the forum. i know a lot of people have been upgrading recently (i'm up in a week or so, but plan to wait until after ces before i buy a new phone).
sorry for the off-topic question!
/rant
they replaced my hero with a new one
UPDATE
Updated op
Ah.. I see.
Well, thanks for the update. Good to know that root is still available!

i flashed nfinite's .7 update 3.1 odex version after all that. device retained the baseband and pri versions. if i try the ota update to the new software, i get the triangle exclamation point. when i press menu, im at clockworks menu. id like to have the latest software but a new baseband is good too.
Any way to get the update other than OTA?
I'd like to have the new PRL and Baseband as I run CM.
Thanks.

prolly not until someone extracts it. i dont know much about it.
I knew about 2.31.651.7 OTA, but didn't realize there was another. I am still running .6 with an odexed basically stock ROM (see sig).
So, really better performance, or just a bit? Any difference on mflops, or other specifics?

I have finished rooting the new update and I can say that the SuperOneClick method works as well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Rom Manager went on fine too.
Edit: My bad, I lost root after booting. I will try your root method. Sorry
Getting the S-off again is now trickier due to the new radio baseband.
why not pull the update off your phone change the script a little sign and flash through recovery
so the new update is worth keeping? I was planning on rooting my device to get the wifi sharing option that 2.2 has but i wasn't thinking and let the new ota update go through the other day. the only difference i've seen is more lag and more battery usage. opinions?
The only way to get WiFi sharing on the hero is through rooting the hero does have a native usb tether but u have to pay for any data u use on it

Super One Click
Super one click worked to root the phone after the update to HTC Hero (Sprint) Maintenance Release 2.32.651.2.
Got the download on this site, just search for the super one click method.
Thanks XDA.
So lets see if I get this right;
I'm using cm6 exblue. If I want the new baseland and prl I have to go back to stock sense unroot apply the update and then root again with super1click and flash my cm6 backup. Is that how it goes?

no. you can flash the radio through either s-off bootloader or recovery, and there isn't a new prl. 60671 is still the latest.

Sadly, I haven't found anything related to unlocking the bootloader in the boot image.
This is the fxz for the chinese ME865, one would be crazy to flash it to one's american MB865 (though I would be interested in the results )
Shouldn't it still work even though it is the Chinese FXZ. Although you might need a translator to work your phone right LoL

Yeah I was just joking around about the language LoL. But with all said and done right now we would flash using RSD lite correct. Could this be made into a flashable zip that we could use with our bootstrap?

Thinking about flash it on my, Cuz AT&T version doesnt have Chinese display. That made some of my apps can't work right
Anybody flash it yet? I'm restraining myself from doing it, because I feel there's a chance it may have the unlock for the bootloader, If memory serves me correctly, it was from a leaked China based firmware for the ATRIX, that revealed the unlock for the OG ATRIX. I maybe mixing it up with the Photon, but who knows.

With the original Atrix there were some issues with international builds not commpatible with USA builds, and there were some bricks along the way. There were even bricks with trying to roll back firmware after the gingerbread update. Patience for me, I am not ready to brick mine.
You can flash just the boot loader if interested... I would but I am working on another bootloader hack to break the current bootloader open, or I would flash just the bootloader, that is one thing that can be tried.... Who still has time on their 30 day return left, that wants to try this:
using the android SDK run the following using the boot.img from this Chinese image
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then boot into the boot loader with holing the volume down buttom while powering the phone on
Then
fastboot oem unlock ( this should give you output that gives your id )
fastboot oem unlock #### ( the ####'s are the uid you recieved from the command above ).
Then reboot the phone. You may have to erase your userdata with:
fastboot erase userdata
Hopefully you won't have to do this...
This might be worth a try.

Could this be ics? Bootloaders unlocked?
Sent from my MB865 using Tapatalk
Do you have a link that you can share?
No. The Chinese update to fix the -75dB issue is 2.3.6.
Also it breaks the root method but supposedly it's possible to keep root with an app "OTA Rootkeeper".
I'm not 100% sure but I don't think the Chinese bootloader is unlocked.
(poking around here with machine translations can be... unclear )
Saw a story on there that Motorola engineers were actually dispatched to the poster's house to test the fixed baseband with the customer.
I wish we could get that kind of service in the USA.

I tore this apart, and this has the same bootloader as our MB865 with a couple minor differences due to what looks like a slight hardware difference on the ME865.

You can flash a rooted version (such as the CWM Deodexed rooted release in Development), or you can just flash su directly. I would avoid flashing a full EP4D Odin for now because we don't have a dump of the CDMA modem, so you would be overwriting the CDMA modem with an older version by using the Odin.
Flashing imoseyon's kernel from Rootzwiki would also give you root, as well as lagfix and some other extras, but be aware that it is based on a slightly older kernel. I haven't had any problems with it yet, but it's something to be aware of.

Do I want the 2.3.6 update?

I just got my Skyrocket and tried to get the update to 2.3.6. However, my phone says that I have the latest version of Android. Did AT&T stop the OTA updates?
Also, I read somewhere on this forum that you can't do the One-click or easy root if you're on 2.3.6.
I'm very new to all of this. So the questions are: do I want/need the 2.3.6 update and should I apply this update?

Only update you need is ICS and I believe Att&t pulled the 2.3.6 update...
Thanks. My next decision to make is how to root this baby and whether or not I should go with one of the custom ROMs.
What's the easiest way to root the Skyrocket? Can it be unrooted in case I want to return or exchange it? What's the slickest ROM to use right now (I recently read about Mervin's)? What do I need to do in order to ensure I can go back to stock 2.3.5 when I want to?
Sorry for all the questions. I've been reading a lot, but much of it is over my head. The only thing I've rooted before is my nook, and I downloaded a custom ROM with STEP-BY-STEP instructions that a child could follow. It worked great, but I have very little understanding about what I actually did.
My skyrocket updated to 2.3.6, and I have tried a couple of the one click root methods, and they dont seem to be working for me. I don't know if thats just me, my specific phone, or the fact that it upgraded to 2.3.6. I don't see any difference between 2.3.5 and 2.3.6, so I might avoid it for the moment and use the one click root methods. Those will let you unroot too if you want to upgrade to ICS or such when they become available.
On that note, anyone know how to root 2.3.6?
Use Odin root method from dev. section.

Yeah, I'm aware of the Odin method. But its def not as user friendly. Seeing as I don't know alot about how it works, and since no one seems to agree about if it triggers the ROM counter, I was hoping there was a simpler way. Dumb 2.3.6
If you're on 2.3.5, you can easily root with Shortfuse SuperOneClick 2.2 package... Then try to do the OTA 2.3.6. That's what I did and I didn't lose root after the 2.3.6 OTA. You need to be on stock 3e recovery (I was). I read a few folks couldn't take the 2.3.6 OTA when they had CWM Recovery.

To answer your question, for me the 2.3.6 GPS performance is much improved from 2.3.5 (and I thought 2.3.5 was already good!). After upgrading to 2.3.6, my I727-SR started recognizing(In View) 23 satellites and locking 13, with accuracy to 9ft, within 4 seconds... crazy fast and accurate.
No 2.3.6 OTA for me either, newly acquired SR on Dec 6, 2011.
Does anyone know why the OTA update was pulled? Or how to get an answer to this?
I'm running Alien 4 based on KK1 2.3.6 and it is running great aside from some issues with Bluetooth in my car. Call quality is improved and data speeds are much faster.
2.3.6 was buggy.
I use my SGSII for support for my company. We have an Exchange server for Email (Outlook) and use Outlook 365 profiles now. By policy, for security reasons, only administrators have web access, we can access Email through our secure devices - meaning corporate laptops and our cell phones (which are secured via Exchange policies).
The 2.3.6 update broke the Exchange Email support entirely, if you are an Outlook 365 user at minimum.
This is all devices running 2.3.6.
My skyrocket updated to 2.3.6, and I haven't had any issues (there is a funny bug in auto brightness at 10% battery, but thats all I've noticed). It has always seemed stable to me. Some people have speculated that the update was for specific phones (with certain IMEI codes) instead of pulling the update for issues.

I've also reverted back to the original recovery before attempting the kdz flash. Once done with it, I had the Videotron branded android and the baseband with OCT 24 2011 date. I tried a simple mobile sim card with it. After adding an APN, the data seemed to work. I was able to receive a call from my other phone. Then, I've flashed the CM recovery (as it was back to stock) using nvflash and then from the CM recovery I've flashed Owain's ICS on it.
I also have a copy of the files that .kdz unpacked (though I'm not sure if its complete).
That's about it.
Oh, yeah, before I had JUL 15 2011 baseband after the GB upgrade.
Also take a look at this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1180331
To use the KDZ_FW_UPD you need to disconnect the phone from usb, remove the battery, hold the Vol down button while plugging-in the USB cable. This will force the S/W Update screen on the phone, and the tool will work.
I also reflashed V21E_00.01.kdz with that KDZ_FW_UPD tool and the baseband went back to JUL 15 2011.
Awesome!

Just to simplify things, the thread I've pointe to has all the tools/drivers. But it is a bit murky about the flashing process.
As long as you are on the stock recovery, it should be possible to just remove the battery, unplug the usb, push and hold Vol down and plug back the usb. At that point the S/W Upgrade screen should show up and KDZ_FW_UPD tool should be able to pick up your phone and apply the .kdz
Sweet hopefully it place nice with T-Mobile apn's... will probably give this a go on Sunday.

Before flashing do a backup with CWM. Then flash the Videotron KDZ file. After verifying if the SMS issue is fixed you can reflash CWM and then flash back the CWM backup to got back to T-Mobile Gingerbread. No reason to reflash a KDZ as this is the latest baseband available for the P999. I might do it to mine just to get the new baseband. I moved on to another phone due to band issues (needed 850 3G support for a carrier here in Thailand) but I have not gotten around to selling my G2X yet.
You saying to do a backup of any rom or flash back to 2.3.3 ota version? I assume any rom, which isn't an issue as I have about 10 on my PC lol...

Whatver your current rom is if you want to go back to your phone how it is. The sms problem is not in the rom so restoring the rom won't change anything if updating with the patched baseband fixes the issue. All you care about is getting the new baseband. Up to you if you want to restore current rom or flash something else.

Okay I figured that much... I don't really care about restoring so much cause I don't do any super customizations to my phone and only use 10ish applications and no games to worry about save points.
