[Q] A little help on flashing ROMs - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Alright, so I have a Verizon Droid 2, flashed over to Cricket. What I want to know is if I try to flash a ROM to my phone (like Steel Droid or CM) would it affect my cell phone service or anything? Also, are there any working root techniques for the Droid 2 anymore? If it helps, I'm running 2.3.4 and I can't find one anywhere.

[Q] - Confused D2/DX SBF, which is which

I've been really having a hard time following the DX and D2 differences in this forum. It seems as though the DX and D2 are able to use each other's SBF. I wanted to confirm if I flash 2.3.320/2.3.340 to my D2 in addition, will it allow me to install the latest ROMS?
Thanks.
Neither one is for the D2, you want 2.3.20...
Do you have a D2G? You posted this question in the D2G section. The D2 has two different SBF's the old 2.2.0 and the newest 2.3.2.0
If you have the Update from verizon (2.3.2.0) then you shouldn't need to flash anything to install the roms and even if you didn't have the update the ROM would update your phone and you should be fine. The only thing you shouldn't flash are old roms from when we had the old Verizon base 2.2.0 because those will mess up your phone if you have the update because the update changed the kernel and some other stuff which won't allow the old one to be flashed.
But if you have a D2G, the D2G doesn't have an SBF out yet so D2G's have to be careful.

Holy crap! I didn't realize I posted in the D2G section. I have a D2, NOT the D2G. The D2G needs it's own area, not the D2 area. They are "different," so shouldn't they be separated?
Thanks for the tips. I'm gonna flash some ROMs tonight. I miss this stuff since my poor Eris took a crap.

[Q] Droid X 2.3.340 SBF Help

So I SBF'd my DX to 2.3.340 successfully with RSD Lite... but it keeps coming up with 4G after the SBF. Since I have 3G, I cannot use internet or connect to Google or anything! How can I SBF to 2.3.340 with 3G? Or is there an easy fix I'm not aware of?
Umm...what? What do you mean it's coming up with 3G? Did you use the correct SBF file?
Forum mod, please move this to the appropriate Droid X forum also, probably...
It doesnt come up as 3G (which I need) It is an SBF for 2.3.340 4G. I have downloaded about 10-15 different SBF files and all are 4G. Do you know of another one for 3G? Because I have looked for about 5 months now.
curious
That doesn't seem right considering the only "4G" motorola devices are with sprint and not verizon do a bit more research it shouldn't be too hard to find.
**SOFTBALL**
Google 2.3.340 sbf for droid x first site click and you're good to go

[Q] Verizon Droid Razr HD:bootloader/flashing

I'm currently with the Galaxy S3, but been having signal issues and had my phone replaced 5 times so far...The CR asked if i wanted another phone and i told her that I didnt see one that i liked so far, so she said i could wait until the Droid Razr HD comes out,due to motorola having better radios...I just have to ask a couple of questions that I dont know
1. Can the bootloader be unlocked?
2. If the bootloader cant be unlocked can you still run custom roms?
3. Was there a lot of devs on the previously Razr/maxx?

[Q] Alltel SCH-R760 Help (Flashing)

The other day I let the Samsung Company lead me when they said there was an update for my phone. Thinking that I would enjoy the lovely 4.0 ICS as a change from the Nice 2.3.6 GB. I let Samsung talk me into flashing my alltel phone. Low and behold they gave me a USC flash to replace my current Alltel network. This is the first time doing something this drastic to my cellphone and now I don't have any data communication on my phone. Does anyone know where I can find an alltel gingerbread flash for the Galaxy S2 SCH-R760. I've searched (what I feel as) Everywhere and can't find anything. My phone is only 2-3 months old so I would prefer not to root it.

I am trying to root.. I also have Alltel Samsung Galaxy S II 4.52 inch Model SCH-R760.. It's also running stock Gingerbread 2.3.6, and since there won't be any OTA Official updates for this particular model, I am going to try to root and update to ICS or Jellybean.. I have looked at several forums, and I have never root before.. Yep I'm a NOB.. Can anyone help me, who has this device and successfully rooted..
Of course I would rather not root, but to the best of my knowledge, it's the only way I will be able to get ICS or Jellybean..
