I did not do this, I only remembered it from when I had my nexus, so I thought I would share here, because I'm sure many of you do not check the nexus forum. It works, 100%, I've tested it myself on build 7 of CM6 nightly.
All credit goes to rcxquake.
Here is the link to the original thread... HERE
Here are his instructions. I just renamed the file so it was a little shorter. my changes are colored.
This is a modified flash apk file that enables you to watch hulu on your rooted, froyo-running android device. It is my project to return to the community. Please only use this fix if you know what you are doing, as I am not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.
Instructions:
1.) UNINSTALL FLASH
2.) Download the .apk
3.) adb install nexusflash.apk (or your preferred method of installing the .apk)
4.) apply the ABOUT: DEBUG fix if you haven't already (both fixes are required) (Alternative option provided below)
5.) watch hulu!
The about:debug fix is that in the browser address field, type 'about:debug', without quotes, and then hit 'go'. then, in the browser settings, at the bottom of the settings list you will see 'uastring'. change it to say 'desktop', instead of 'android'
Adam B. has requested I link to his post on a .apk that automatically applies the useragent (step 4), so you don't have to. Find it here. Install his .apk just like you installed nexusflash.apk.
Changelog:
June 17- Updated to Version 10.1.72.7
June 09- Updated to Version 10.1.72.4
Enjoy!
If you don't understand the directions, I suggest you use the SEARCH function. I will absolutely NOT answer questions that you can find the answer to on your own.
QA:
Q: I upgraded to FRF72, and the flash.apk isn't working. What is wrong?
A: You lost root. Root your phone to get this .apk working again.
Q: I am running Froyo on my droid / other non-nexus phone. Will this flash.apk work?
A: Maybe. This apk appears to work on recent froyo roms, but not older.

in the browser address bar, type 'about:debug', then hit the return key, or go, or whatever to enter it and make the browser process it like a web address. then, hit your hard menu key, go to settings, and all the way at the bottom is an option to change the uastring. change it to say 'desktop'

You gotta install the nexusflash apk first bro.
Just wanted to say it works perfectly and I didn't even have to uninstall the old flash. Just installed right over it and did the debug fix.

How to install:Important!
You will need to download Koush's bootstrap application and bootstrap your recovery. Then you can boot into recovery via the same app or you can install via ROM Manager(by rebooting into recovery, not via install rom from sdcard). Once you boot into recovery do a FULL nandroid backup and then you go to mounts and storage and mount /system manually to avoid more issues. Install zip from sdcard and toggle signature verification to disable. Now you can install the zip from the sdcard. Once this is done, reboot.
Now after reading all that here is your download!

Thanks for using Epic the first DROID 2 rom! Say thanks if you like it
I am trying to buy a domain name to host my files. All I need is $15 dollars. You do not have to do this if you do not want to. It is just to help me out a little bit Please donate as little as $1 to my PayPal [email protected]. Thanks if you do!
NOTE: Updated September 7th, 2010. Added additional steps to the process. Reread to reapply the Epic Unleashed 1.1!
Please READ each direction CAREFULLY and BEFORE executing each step. I can not stress how many mistakes are made because someone did not READ the directions carefully. So... yeah, once again, READ THE DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY!
How to Apply EpicUnleashed 1.1
Credits: The ROM was created by Matt4542. Tutorial was written by me with some simple directions from Matt. You'll need to be rooted in order to run the Droid 2 Bootstrapper.
The fine print: Matt4542 and/or I (DarkOnion) can not be held responsible if you mess up. If you mess up, you mess up. That's why I wrote the .sbf recovery tutorial. Matt has also written one. More simple, but requires Linux.
Here we go.
1. Download Koush Bootstrap here.
http://koush.tandtgaming.com//motorola/droid2/Droid2Bootstrap.apk
2. Download Epic Unleashed 1.1!
http://www.epic.grrmode.com/Epic-Unleashed11Deodexed.zip
3. Move both files to the base of the SD Card. Best way to do this is to plug your phone into your computer and move it like that. Make sure you phone is in USB mass storage mode. To change it, pull down the notification blind, choose USB connection, and choose USB Mass storage. Now copy and paste the two files to the new removable drive that showed up in your My Computer. The Epic-Unleashed11Deodexed.zip needs to be at the base of the SD card, and not in any folders. After moving all the files over to the phone, change the connection type back to Charge Only. Notfication blind -> USB Connection -> Charge only.
4. Install Koush Droid 2 Bootstrapper. Using an app installer, Astro File Manager, or equivalent, navigate to your SD card. The folder in Astro File Manager will be called sdcard. Choose Droid2Bootstrap.apk and install it. Follow the directions.
5. Now that it is installed, open Droid 2 Bootstrapper located in your applications section menu. It'll probably ask you for Super User access, say yes.
6. Press Bootstrap Recovery. It'll probably ask you for Super User access, say yes.
7. Next, we want to back your system file up by making a system image. In the Droid2 Bootstrapper, which you are already in, choose Reboot Recovery. Your phone should restart and load up into the bootloader.You should see some green text with various options, and a little lower than the middle of the screen, it says ClockworkMod Recovery.
Notes for navigating through the system. You need to use the keyboard to navigate. "Enter" will select. "Del" will cancel/go back. and the arrows are movement.
8. Using your slide out keyboard, scroll down to backup and restore and press the enter key. It should take you to another window. Choose Backup. Let it runs it's course. After it is all said and done. Reboot your phone by choosing reboot system now. (I don't think the rebooting is necessary, but I am just going to do it be safe.)
9. After you are done rebooting, if you did this, go back to the Droid 2 Bootstrapper, and choose Reboot Recovery. It'll reboot, and you'll eventually be back at the screen with the green text.
10. Using your keyboard buttons, choose mount and storage. And then choose mount /system. After that, press del to go back to the main menu.
11. Using your keyboard buttons, choose install zip from sdcard.
12. You need to make sure signature verification is off. Choose toggle signature verification and make sure it is off. At the bottom, under ClockworkMod Recovery, it'll say whether or not signature verification is enabled or disabled. You want it to say that it is disabled.
13. Then choose install zip from sdcard. Choose Epic-Unleashed11Deodexed.zip. It'll ask to confirm. Scroll down to Yes, and press enter. You'll see some commands going and eventually say it is complete.
14. Now navigate back to the main menu by pressing "Del" on the keyboard. And restart your phone by choosing reboot system now. It'll reboot and that's it! You've added EpicUnleashed 1.1.
Note: Your first boot will take a little while, up to 10 minutes. PLEASE BE PATIENT. You know that you corrected updated if your start-up animation is different.
If you need to undo this thing, boot back up into bootloader using Droid 2 Bootstrapper -> Reboot Recovery -> Back Up and Restore (after the reboot) -> Restore.

If anyone comes across and problems with instructions, please let me know. I am going to try to keep this thread updated and easy to use.

Maybe you can put the launcher2.apk for 2.2 as the main homescreen. I downloaded it from the droid incredible forum on my phone and everything is working alot snappier on my end. Still using stock just looking and waiting until everything is figured on this rom.

As a test for now just try to install your recovery from ROM Manager and boot into recovery that way. It is untested but it is worth a shot.

Actually all of the bugs have been ironed out. It is a problem with the recovery. It may affect you, may not. I would put the stock Froyo launcher but I am not going to risk screwing with blur and causing more problems now. I will do it in a later release.
ya i installed it, but i did it from my downloads folder, it took like 3 seconds and nothing is new lol, i will have to try from the root i guess.

Yes and no. It'll is suppose to help clean up some of the junk that is on the phone. Have you rooted yet, because if you haven't... you need to do that before you flash a fixed version.
Yep I have already rooted it but I am in the stage where it says to make sure that my signature check is disable mine is enable how do I get it disabled sorry for being such a noob lol i got 5th in the state of Minnesota for computer repair but I I haven't done this kinda of stuff before

Hello My Friends I've Heard You Are Having Troubler Installing The New Upgrade Or Understanding What Is Needed To Be Done.
Note: THIS IS A WINDOWS BASED HOW TO AND WILL WORK ON WINDOWS ONLY
Before I Start I must Say, This Is a combination of process and I have not created any of those files or own the right to them so all the links are the same links found on other posts from where i got the info, so by downloading those files you are, supporting them not me i take no credit for this work
Well Here Is the quick Easy Guide In How To Do This
-Fist we Need To Get The Tools To Perform This Operation
pulled From This Tread we need
1. Motorola Drivers For Either 32 or 64 Bits
2. RSD Lite, witch is a tool for flashing your phone.
3. The GOT Open Recovery ToolUpdate: Added Latest version from G.O.T.'S Blog

EDIT: G.O.T. Has Added the burnerable open recovery to these sfb files so no need to flash it latter
-Now That We Have The Stuff We Need We are going to do it, fist i must say that unlike other roms that are applied by a backup restore (corect me if im whrong) this is a full flash and its going to reset everything so no apps will remain no setting will remain and is highly recommended that you uninstall every app you have, don't back them up(except for apps some apps that have a create backup file, those seem to work) just uninstall them, and when we are done have them installed again, Here Is A Tool That Will Help You Get There Faster
1.ok you have everything uninstalled right? now time for some action
2.install the proper divers (32 or 64)
3.install the RSD Lite tool
4.unzip the 2.2.1 FIRMWARE FILES you downloaded and you will find a ".sbf" file
5.now connect your phone to USB cable and turn it off
6.boot it in boot-loader mode (press the D-PAD UP key while pressing the power button), some night need you to release the button after a minute, a black screen will be shown on your phone and you will see the divers being installed on your computer.
7.when drivers are done open the RSD Lite tool and your device should appear you can click on it to see details.
8.now click on the "..." buttons that are close to the start button and look for the ".sbf" file, after a couple of seconds it should be ready to start
9.press the start button and do not unplug the cable or let your computer show the screen saver or go to sleep, the posses must not be stopped while it has started .
10.when the posses is done the devise will restart and voala, you have 2.2
-As GOT stands there are some bugs on the firmware and they have developed a fix to them and get root and overclock, here is what you have to do.
1. unzip the got open recovery tool into the root of your SD card
2.check this quote
NOTE: On some devices, we have encountered that rooting directly after flashing without rebooting after the initial flash can bring some issues with RootExplorer not asking for root permissions. To be safe, reboot after flash so that the “welcome to milestone” menu comes up, set up the device in general, then reboot to recovery and root the device as well as apply our 2.2.1 tweaks with Launcher, Services.jar fix and Wireless Tethering app.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
this means if the fist time your milestone got restarted and you saw "Welcome to Milestone" Message You are good an you can root.
but if you didn't then restart you phone and see if the message comes out, if not , a factory reset should have that scree message shown.
3. open the open recovery by pressing camera and power button at the same time while the device id off. you should see a scree with a "!" symbol on it then press fist volume rocker up button a leave it pressed then press camera button, some letter will pop out.
4. using the pad scroll down to "apply update.zip", after a couple of seconds the GOT menu should pop out (everything from now on uses the pad)
5.root your phone (why not)
6.go down to "Launch 2.2.1 Menu" Option.
7.Here you will see the "Fix Bugs They Are Talking About
One of the first things you should do is use the “Fix 2.2.1 bugs” selection in the new OR 2.2.1 menu after you flash the sbf file.
This tweak will fix some of the issues with the generic sbf build such as dual USB notifications, replacing some stock Motorola applications such as the old launcher/mediagallery and adding the Wireless Tethering application.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. there is the overclock too.
Now your device should have all the things you need to start playing with it,I encourage you to check on some tweaks the GOT team might have, and you might want.
I Hope This Was Helpful enjoy ^_^

something i don't get
I updated the firmware with RSD Lite, and used the one click tool, because:
whenever i try to hit update.zip i will get an errormessage, stating that these blocks couldn't be found -> ergo, the card not be mounted.
The HTC stuff i always managed, but this one is a mistery to me. Also, i did format fat32, pushed the stuff and then straight on bootup trying to hit the update.zip, without success.
I've read about how other people solved that problem, none of those approaches helped me.
Any hint is more than welcome.
2 bugs i've discovered so far: Battery drain like almost to be declared useless, some market apps "vanish" after installing them. I suppose those fixes would have done the job. I might attempt to use root explorer and execute the scripts like that, still I'd like to know why I'm unable to get the update.zip, resp. the G.O.T or any other "intelligent" boot menu installed.
Edit2: Even when installing the vulnerable sbf, i still get the error: E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 ....

I'd like to add something for Linux users:
Using a virtual machine (virtualizing WinXP) that has USB support (eg Oracle VM VirtuaBox, since VirtualBox OSE does not support USB forwarding) can do this pretty easy. So no worries when trying this via a VM.

weird...
This is the "OP" or the Original Post #1....read it before asking any questions that my be answered in this post or in any of the following links!
Background: I started this thread because of the explosive growth of MikFroyo's Roms. The thread got so clogged with total new user's questions that it became difficult to find real answers to real problems. Not that new users can't learn, but I wanted to try and create a place for people who don't depend upon RomManager to control their lives!
Look, the way I see it, if you were smart enough to root your phone and start flashing new ROMs (that is the correct way to spell it btw, not roms, it is an acronym after all!), then you deserve concise answers to your issues based upon my experience in flashing phones that I have gathered in the past 3 years since I first started flashing things for my Razr phone.
I will assume you know how to use, and have properly setup, adb on your home computer. Yes, many of the commands you may see me or others post could be done through a terminal window on your phone, but your life will be much easier and more efficient if you have adb setup and working correctly on your home computer or laptop!
Here as a begining are some of the more useful posts I and others have made regarding flashing MikFroyo ROMs and some of the issues associated with this endeavor:

This is not my work, but a good starting point is provided at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694250
Browse the entire thread if you like, but the download links are in the 1st post. Thanks for the guide goes to joeykrim.
I just flashed mikfroyo, got it working, then flashed the kernal that you suggested.
My wifi turns on for a second, does not connect, then turns off and says unable to scan for wifi??? I did do a full wipe, cache and dalvik before flashing mikfroyo.
Any suggestions?

I want u to flash this zip ima link u too.
Flash the zip and then wipe everything again twice then from there flash the rom n kernel all in one recovery visit..
So
One- flash the formatall.zip
Two- wipe cache dalvik n data n sd ext two times
Three- flash rom
Four- flash kernel
On the same recovery session.
By the way what kernel u using?
Heres the formatall.zip link
http://db.tt/VKtEHjt
flash cache after format all......i don't think so...... i always boot into ROM before i do the kernel just in case, but i am paranoid haha

Good Luck buddy! Enjoy your time w the rom, its a beauty.
Installing ADB
First off I am not the originator of this guide, it can be found here and was created by nephron. I just updated it with some updated links and instructions. The newer version seemed to do a lot of the steps that were in his guide therefore I didn't need to do them to get adb to work.
Another guide I borrowed some stuff from can be found here and was created by joeykrim. If you are using a mac or linux machine go to this thread for the download links.
Again I want to give credit to those guys because they really created the original threads and I just borrowed some from both of them to create an updated install guide. This is only an install guide and if you have ADB command questions you will be better off going to those threads and asking in there or searching XDA for your answers.
Link to the Android SDK site, you might check here to see if there is an updated version of the SDK that I have link below(installer_r10)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Things you need:
Android SDK - Download
7-zip - Download
Win 7 Drivers- Download-thanks shep 211
HTC Sync-The one that is in the SD card that came with your phone will work
Windows PC
USB Cable
A Rooted HTC EVO
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Setting up the Android SDK
I installed the drivers and htc sync first, I am not sure if that matters or not.
Download the file SDK file from above and accept defaults to install it.
Once installed make sure the box is checked that says "Start SDK Manager" and hit finish.
Once SDK Manager opens click on the accept all radio button and hit install. Be patient it will take awhile.
Any problems or questions go here.
Once completed take the "android-sdk" folder and move it to the root of your hard drive (C:\).
It will be located in c:\program files(x86)\android, it's large folder so it might take a little while.
Right click on My Computer and click properties
Select the Advanced Tab or Advanced System Setting (Vista/Windows 7)
Select Environment Variables...
On the bottom half (system variables)
go to PATH and edit it to include C:\android-sdk\platform-tools
Make sure to separate it from the rest of the ones in there by a semicolon
Hit Ok
*The reason for this is so that you can run adb from any folder on your drive so that you don't have to copy your files to the tools folder. Big thanks to jadeboy and coiledwire for helping me figure this out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preparing your phone for ADB
If you are running MikFroyo it should be checked by default but you can double check it if you want.
Go to Settings on your phone
Select Applications
Select Development
Make sure 'USB Debugging' is checked
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing Drivers
Plug in your phone through USB and it should automatically install the drivers. I've done this 4 times and every time it finds the phone just fine.
If not check out this thread here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check if your phone is detected by ADB
Open up Command Prompt (Go to run, type in cmd, press enter)
Type in
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk\platform-tools === Press Enter
adb devices === You should see your device listed
adb shell === you should see # in the next line
Now you are all set to run adb commands. Go here if you want to learn/test some of the basics, it's in joeykrim's thread. His push/pull of test.apk won't work because that file isn't in there. However you can just create a test.txt file on your c:\ and push/pull that to your phone. That's what I did to test that.
Easiest one to test is
Code:
adb reboot
Note: for a list of commands type in 'adb' in cmd
CONGRATS YOU NOW HAVE ADB FULLY RUNNING!

Hey you might stick this in your popular solutions OP.
Link
Slow Market.
Thanks to Mitchellvii
JK you can just link to his post on this if you want since he actually found it. Here's the link
POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO SLOW MARKET:
As you use your Market, your /cache appears to fill up with .apk files call Download-1, Download-2, etc. Why Market chooses to just continually add these without deleting the older ones is beyond me. It eventually just eats up your /cache and slows Market Updates.
From what I can tell, there is absolutely no harm whatsoever in deleting these. You can delete them using Root Explorer + Multi-select or you can boot into Recovery and Wipe Cache. I am not sure if wiping /cache also clears Dalvik Cache if it is on /cache. However, if your phone takes a long time to reboot after wiping /cache then I would assume it does since your phone has to rebuild Dalvik. Either way, nothing is damaged.
I have looked at the various "cache cleaners" on the Market and have not found one that clears out these "Download-#.apk" files. If someone knows of one, please share it with the room.
The act of going into Applications and clearing MikMarket Data & Cache does NOT delete these extraneous files.
CONCLUSION:
If your Market is being unresponsive, use:
1. Root Explorer to delete all of the "Download-#.apk" files from your /cache (root), or
2. reboot into recovery and wipe cache.
After this, your Market should become much more responsive. Option #1 is easier.
Is there anyway of using swype on this phone without going through the root process and loaded a custom ROM?
TIA
You can sign up for the beta at http://swypeinc.com, but since the phone is locked down to keep you from installing non-Market apps, you won't be able to install the file they send you. If you can get your hands on the .apk file for the installation, you can use Sideload Wonder Machine to install it without needing root access.
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-inspire-4g/60295-guide-installing-swype-beta-htc-inspire-4g.html
I don't know if it requires root, but I have root and I got mine. lol
Thanks, I will give it a shot
I tried every trick known to man .. lol ... the only way you are going to get swype if it is an ATT phone is to root the phone otherwise they have blocked the option.
I was able to install it via Side Wonder Machine. I must say, it's amazing.
Install APK's easily
This is the best way at least for me. Super easy and the software has many other uses.
(P.S. I stole this... it's from some android forum)
1. Download Droid Explorer for your system. http://de. codeplex. com/ (remove spaces from link)
2. Now, go to your phone. Settings> Applications> Development > USB Debugging.
3. Make sure you downloaded the drivers for the captivate then plug in your phone and select PC connect and mount the phone.
4. Now open Droid Explorer and connect the device. Right click and select batch install.
5. Now a screen should pop up and you should select the APKs you would like to install and it is self explanatory from there on out.
Go here

Register and follow the instructions.
This was posted in the other thread about keyboards for the inspire. It's exactly what I did and My phone is 100% stock. No root or anything.
Followed the AndroidCentral method last night and it worked great!
It works like a champ!!!!
I love this forum!
How have I managed to live without Swype?! Just got it installed yesterday and its amazing!
Install using sideload wonder machine. If this isn't cool to post just let me know and I will remove it.

Thank you so much, I could not get Swype on my Inspire. I was sent invite for the Beta, but when I click on their link I got message this is not an Android Phone. Awesome Job thanks.
No problem at all. Always happy to help

Thanks as well. I should be getting my Inspire tomorrow. I'm so used to swyping on my captivate this should make my life easier. Can't wait to sideload this on.
Does anyone know if its possible to use the swype from the motorola's? Like the atrix, droid x etc. I really like the theme of that one.
Nope, none of these worked
The Android Central method--i don't get past the ADB command, computer doesn't know what to do with that...
I can sideload fine and got the installer on my phone but it won't download the actual swype.apk. Instructions say to wait even though it's an error... Waited half hour and still no swype.apk appeared in downloads folder.
Took the swype.apk provided in this forum. Installed fine but out of date... which is fine. I'm happy to get officially from Swype. Tried the swype installer now I have swype (out-of-license) installed. Installer said you need to update license. Ok fine. Great! Tried and came up with error.
I love swype that I had on my captivate. I would pay for the app. Just not sure I'm willing to root my two day old phone just to get swype on it...

I used the androidcentral method. Worked fire me, no root. Just sign up for the beta on swype's website. Then go from there. I think I was stuck in the same part as you. Basically you just continue on with the process don't worry about the part that says wait or error.
You will get the updated installer direct from swype website.

I got swype before the update. So I removed swype and swype installer. Then went to http://beta.swype.com/android/get and went through the android central method again.
