Oh ok so I was rooting it wrong.

I easily rooted the phone using Pete's Motorola Root Tools. I realized that Rom Toolbox Pro accesses clockwork recovery when the phone is rebooted instead of the phone just restarting fully. But, I still want to start fresh and do everything from the start again. Please let me know if you have any suggestions in the way or order I am doing things. My phone is currently up rooted at 4.5.596 and rooted by Pete's Motorola Root Tools but I want to start over from the beginning so here is what I am going to do:

Note: Before I do anything I am going to format my SD card for a fresh start.

1. Use RSD_Lite 4.9 to Flash my phone back to 2.3.340 using a file called VRZ_MB810_2.3.34_1FF_01.sbf. I always do this part with no problem.

2. Do a hold power+home then search and do a system wipe/restore. Then Activate service, sign into gmail etc.

3. Now that the OS is loaded (the old version with the grey bars 2.3.340) I am going to root my phone using Petes Root Tools. (I hope I can root it with this tool when the firmware is this version.)

4. Put the 3 zip files I have on my SD card to upgrade to GB 588. Also put my GB 596 file on here.

5. I will download 1 app. D2BootStrapper. Bootstrap recovery, reboot into recovery. Install all 3 zip files from SD card. Now I boot up in GB 588.

6. Now I go right back into D2BootStrapper. Bootstrap recovery, reboot into recovery. Install GB 596. Now I have GB 596 rooted and loaded.

7. After this, shouldn't I be able to download Rom Manager Premium and Rom Toolbox Pro and test as many roms as I want? always reverting back to my original backup.

I noticed after installing liberty I was getting all kind of force close popups. And the phone wouldn't connect to service. But then I just held power + home then hit the up/down arrows and did a wipe/restore and it loaded liberty and everything works. Is this normally what has to be done when installing roms?

If there is anything wrong with my process please let me know. Whew I can't believe all that I learned in 1 day.
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
You've got a lot of steps there that really aren't necessary. When you install a ROM like Liberty, it replaces EVERYTHING in /system. Thus, about all that is left from a .596, .588, .602, etc install is the kernel. The Kernel doesn't change very often in Motorola builds. The last change was on .602. Thus, for your purposes there is no difference between .602 and .605 (FYI, .605 was just a keyboard fix over .602).

So, if you search around, you should find an SBF or AIO flash file to get you to .602.

Or you can simply take the OTA update from VZW after SBF'ing to .340

Once you've flashed your Rom, be sure to clear data/factory reset. You should then start with a clean system.
[Droid X General] HunterT:
Alright, if you don't mind can you please let me know what steps I can avoid.

I didn't think it was possible to have a rooted .605 but I guess I was wrong.

So my goal should be to get to .605, then root it. Then install roms from there?
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
On your first post you said you were on .605. I'm assuming that is still the case.

If so, then root it with pete's tool (I think you've already done that).

Install D2bootstrap, then ROM Toolbox and install your rom from there.

I have to be honest, in that I've not used Liberty in a while, nor have I used Rom Toolbox. It shouldn't be a problem, just make sure that the version of Liberty you are using is for the GB kernel. Some of the older versions of Liberty (Which I did use, and like) were for the Froyo kernel (in that case, stay on .340 and do your upgrades).

Make sure you wipe data in recovery after installing the ROM. Lots of 'Boot Loops' are due to not wiping data after flashing a new rom.
[Droid X General] HunterT:
Yeah

Yeah I read up on all of that. I actually might not end up going with Liberty. Going to try others like ICX. But before I do any of this I need to get to .605.

No I am not at .605 I believe that's where my phone was before I started all of this.

Right now I am flashing back to 2.3.34

Once I am back up and running there. Can you please recommend the easiest way to get to .605 and that will be my final question.
[Droid X General] Droidmoder:
.605 should update automatic. If not you can disable the updater using titanium backup by freezing system updater.

1. Use petes tools install cwm as well

A. Droid x bootstrap get this

B. Titanium backup. Backup your apps

2. Make a backup using cwm and backup apps with tb

3. Put the rom zip files on the sd card.

4. Reboot to recovery. Reformat system data etc

DO NOT REFORMAT THE SD CARD.

5. Wipe cache davik etc.

6 flash rom. And reboot.

7 run tb for your apps

Should be a smooth and clean install. The roms are already rooted so no need to worry about that. Hope this helps

We aren't supposed to link to other forums, so expect this link to get removed.

http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?399-UPDATED-GUIDE-LINKS-DX-SBF-s

I would point you to a link here, but couldn't find a quick/easy link to what I wanted.

In this list is an SBF file for .602. Since you seem comfortable with doing SBF's, I would just SBF straight to .602 and root it from there.

Don't know much about ICX, but would encourage you to look at the CM7DXGB thread over at Rootzwiki as well.
[Droid X General] HunterT:
ohh, well I just went to Settings > About Phone and its auto updating to .605

Am I not going to be able to root it after this update or should it be fine.
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Pete's Root tool should root .605 just fine.
[Droid X General] HunterT:
One last thing

As far as Clockwork recovery goes.

Should I always be in the latest version 5.0.2.0 (the blue version)

Or the old version 2.something (the green version)

Why is there 2 version and why would I ever want to flash back to the old version 2.something?
[Droid X General] Droidmoder:
Pete's will work on .605 I did two the other day
[Droid X General] Droidmoder:
Couple things most of the updates are to add support fix minor bugs etc.

I run the one from petes all the time I forget which version. I haven't had problems.

On my mt4g slide I had to flash a modified verson of clockwork due to my phone being newer and not as much support

With that said its not a difficult process to get a new recovery image. You would need terminal emulator and root explorer. Couple of great guides on here on how to do so. Also other methods as well.

All in all the ones that pete's give you should suffice. Unless your one of the extreame types of people who want the newest or like messing around.

Just remember backups can make the process and hassle of soft bricking your phone much easier to fix and takes a few mins to do.

Look around the forums lots of great information from the devs, experts, etc
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
The newer version changes the way backups are stored. The new format is smaller and quicker.

Among other issues/bug fixes as mentioned before, but the backup issue is important as the new version will not restore the old style backups.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wh101:
Hi All,

I am too Confused,

I am not sure which is better : Samsung 10.1 or viewpad with two OS : android and win 7.

I am not sure how the touch works with viewsonic?

Can any one please let me know which is better overall?

The issue is, I am afraid of viewsonic in the touching screen speed, The processor speed, the screen resolution,the overall performance,the available apps,games.

The main thing that is making me thinking of viewsonic is the WIN 7 thing,Which will help me open my work application on it like the notebook,but I am afraid of the above concerns.

Can you judge on that?

Thanks,

Wael
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJR0D:
Im not TOOOOO sure on the comparrision..but i do know GTab has Tegra 2 Dual Core...which is the best out there now. The BIG Tablets have this. So for speed..its there.

Touch Screen is Capacitive....which is very good. It just ships new with the TanNTap thing. Which sucks. But when you load one of the ROMs on it...its wayyy up there with the good Tablets. At least they say this on the net.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aabbondanza:
This probably isn't the best place to ask the question since this is gTablet forum & not a Viewpad 10 forum.

The dual boot Viewpad 10 is totally different from our gTablet. The only similarity is that they are both sold by Viewsonic. Viewpad has an Intel Atom(x86) processor (that's how it can run Win7) while the gTab has an Nvidia Tegra 2 (Arm) processor. Viewpad is running Android 2.2 X86 (android ported to run on Intel processors) while gTab is running Android native. Viewpad has 2G of DDR3 memory, gTab has 512M DDR2. Viewpad has either 16 or 32G SSD (solid state drive), gTab has a 16G emmc (embedded multimedia card).

While there may be a few users who have used a dual boot Viewpad, probably the vast majority here have not (as I have not).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJR0D:
I must have missed that. Thought he typed GTab. Yea..since it was a GTab thread i assumed that. Missed the Viewpad word he typed.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wh101:
Thank you

Thanks for your answers. Yes, I am talking about the viewpad 10 and not the Gtab.

Do you think that no one tested it because it's not good?

Should I buy Samsung 10 or viewpad 10?

I have been searching for a solution to get my phone to backup all contents of the phone and sd card to a specific folder on my pc. I just want to not worry about having to do everything manually all the time.

I want to come home, have my profile manager turn on the wifi, phone detects home wifi on which my pc is, starts to backup all new content ontto the specified folder immediately.

I am mostly concerned about images, videos etc. Looking for a similar solution that eye-fi as / wifi card provides.

I was wondering if it's possible to create an app or integrate into wifi tether, for a user to connect to your wifi tether and once they connect they will be redirected to a link you prefer. Would be beneficial for an area which doesn't have open wifi networks (like where I'm at) and once other people connect to the users wifi tether, It could direct them to the hosts site as advertisement (android apps,products, etc..). Before they can surf the net.

You have to load recovery from fastboot before you can flash a rom, and unzip the rom on your computer and flash the boot.img through fastboot also.

Not sure if both steps are required or if it would work if you only did one. I just do both because its easy to do and you have to be in fastboot either way.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpcdeux:
Thinking of making a rom. Based on cm7. (NO BLUR CRAP!) I like features of a lot of roms but HATE all the god awful theme crap people put on everything like these battery circles and all the ****ty looking mish mash of crap. I want my phone to look Android. Not like a ricer Honda.

So:

What features would you like to see in a rom?

What are you favorite features that you commonly use but don't see in a rom that looks good?

Keep in mind this will most likely be cm7 based with a lot if extras....
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnyutah22:
I love cm7 beta but here's what I'd like to see changed:

1. Push button to answer phone instead of swipe to unlock, or at least a settings to choose either.

2. a better 1% batter indicator, as of now, cm7 has the number next to a small green bar, I'd like to see the number inside a battery icon.

3. email client is weak, especially direct dial from email. Currently can't direct dial number included in header. This sucks for business users

4. a cleaner sms user interface. why do I have the droidbot in every text I send, would like to see it streamlined.

5. Vlingo assistant is years ahead of google voice search and should be used as the default voice search.

6. Keep Theme Chooser and all mods under Cyanogen Settings.

Thats all I can think of now but will add more later if I think of any.

Go into the email app, and then your account settings and check the sync schedule. You have change it there and even set it differently for peak/off-peak times. Like my work email I have it set to push m-5 from 5am-11:59pm then all other times and weekends I have it check every 4 hours. There is an option "Period to sync email" which controls how far back it pulls the email. ie.. 3 days, week, all
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LordLugard:
I don't think the stock email app "pushes" anything, just lets you choose intervals to check for email, which is why i use K-9 mail instead (despite the arcane U.I). I have 2 email accounts that support IMAP IDLE and K-9 supports IMAP IDLE push. Works great.

If you have Exchange then push is an option.

Ah yeah that's what I meant just checking the intervals. Although I don't know what the difference is between the two lol. I'll check out the k9 app though.

Thanks for the reply guys. I just realized I have to go into each email account individually to to change the interval settings. My two primary email accounts are gmail and hotmail.
