[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
does phone ask for unlock code, when non votafone sim card is in phone?

if yes, you need a sim unlock code try ebay

if no, phone maybe sim unlocked already, now you need to band unlock it

see links in my list look under d2g section

sd_shadow's list of links for Droid FAQs, SBF, Rooting, ROMs....

---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 AM ----------

before you band unlock please post system version

go to menu/settings/about phone/system version does it have 4.5.629, 4.5.608 or other like 2.3.330

Band unlock Droid 2 Global with 629
[Droid 2 Global General] tone4life:

I got pass that but when i put sim card in it is locked needs code i try contact them see if Verizon gives it if not i found ebay seller works are money back.. my version on these droid 2 global is system version 4.5.629.A956 1st phne2nd phne is 4.5.629.A956 thats both phones there sim locked also. i try get them unsimed
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
Verizon only gives unlock codes to costumers

1 Your account has been in good standing with VZW in the past 6 months.

2 The phone in question has been activated on this line for at least 60 days (can sometimes be circumvented).

3 There were no other SIM unlocks performed for your account for the past 10 months.

so unless you want to go through that, try onlone sim unlock codes
[Droid 2 Global General] tone4life:
I'll try online lock code and see what they do... Whats next steps after i get them unlocked? thank u so much for the help u have gave really great
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
if you get unlocked, just use band unlock link I posted

if unlock codes fail, best option is to sell the and get a different phone

ezSBF & Root 2.3.4/ 4.5.629 219Mb file to cd and i dunno what to do once i restart my pc its in boot recovery mode not sure what to do then i see i gotta download d2boot strap once i click there i see these one i believe i suppose to download Am i suppose to be on my phone doing rest of these steps? not sure lol

install

Root: 2.3.3 use Pete’s Root Tools, 2.3.4 use Magic Md5 method

download Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap (market) or here Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap

Go to App Drawer

Tap on Droid 2 Bootstrap app

Tap on Bootstrap Recovery,

When you see superuser popup (allow/deny), select allow

Tap on OK when you see popup that says Success
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
Reboot PC

Hit F12 (sometimes F8 or esc) during boot to go to boot menu (possibly google search how to boot your specific pc from CDROM)

Select boot from CDROM (or USB if you used a flash drive)

Hit enter at the yellow "boot baby... boot" screen

You will see yellow dots for 3-5 minutes then the script will start

magic md5 root is the 2nd option on the ezSBF cd

finally after waiting it came to boot thingy i choose 2 now it says daemon started successfully HEHE and daemon not running starting i on port 5037 now what do i do thank u for your help so much also.... im greatful
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
you need to run, option one first

phone needs to be in bootloader for option one

after option one is done, use option 2 to root

phone needs to be running normally (not bootloader) for first step of root option

---------- Post added at 05:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------

if you didn't use option one yet, reboot pc
[Droid 2 Global General] tone4life:
i clicked option 1 flash 4.4.629 says unzipping files

killed

[Droid 2 Global General] tone4life:
i believe my boot screen may be stuck..? i removed the usb and cant get off screen and i removed battery same thing and i meant 4.5.629 version flash up above post,
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
flashing 629 should take about 10min

not less than 8min, not more than 30min

doesn't look like it worked,

did you verify md5 checksum of iso file

if it's ok,

do you know how much memory your pc has?

less than 1 gb, may not work

---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------

bootloader?

does it say mem blank or low battery?
[Droid 2 Global General] tone4life:

I im using the rsdlite again 2.4.33 to redue the start process see what it does i guess
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
if bootloader says memblank

629 has not flashed correct, use a different pc, a usb flash drive, different usb port, different usb cable

if it does not say mem blank,

disconnect usb cable

, reboot phone to android recovery, and wipe data

---------- Post added at 08:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 PM ----------

that will not change, how 629 works

doesn't really matter if 2.4.33 flashes correct, for 629 to work
[Droid 2 Global General] tone4life:
Well maybe i dont have enough memory :( an either of my pcs.
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
well maybe not, if you just want to flash 629 with rsdlite, you can

but will not be able to band unlock, but phone will be working again

but when you want to band unlock, you will have to flash 2.4.33 again
[Droid 2 Global General] tone4life:

on phone check usb debugging (settings/apps/development)

on phone select charge only usb mode

on pc press continue

program will use adb to push

Code:

data/local.prop /data/preinstall_md5/magic.md5

program will prompt you to

manually reboot phone to bootloader, To put your D2G(/D2) in bootloader mode, power down and power on while either holding both volume buttons, or the up arrow on the keyboard.

program will flash repacked sbf (less than 50mb)

program will reboot twice, very important (reboot just replaces the local.prop, but the old local.prop is still in memory, till second reboot)

adb pushes su,superuser, and busybox

program will reboot to recovery,

manually press both volume buttons when you see !, triangle, & android andy

manually select wipe cache

manually select reboot

rooted

Hello my sis got a droid 2 4.5.608 is it same steps as it was mine? if so thats what im gonna go by it flash i know there a 608 flash to why i asking thanks
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
your choice, but with 608 and lower, you can flash, 2.4.29-2.4.608 with out bricking

629 has very little features, that are not on 608, and all roms that can be flashed on 629 can be flashed on 608

once phone has 629, that is only stock software that will work

so

fully charge battery,

1 flash 2.4.330 sbf with rsd lite

VRZ_A956_2.4.33_1FF_01.sbf.zip (254.1 MB) md5:

use ezSBF 2.3.3/ 4.5.608

flash 4.5.608 (if pc does not have at least 1gb of memory, it may fail)

2 root your phone with pete's root tools Instructions

install d2 bootstrap

Optional: At Clockwork Recovery, make nandroid, not require, may want it later

At Clockwork Recovery, Wipe Cache and install TBH Band unlock.zip thanks to The Black Hat Team

Reboot phone then it should be able to use AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon and enjoy
[Droid 2 Global General] tone4life:
If i flash the 4.5.608 to 4.5.629 after thats done with rsdlite do i have to flash it again to 2.4.33 ? like i did with the 629 to do the linux cd flash and root?
[Droid 2 Global General] tone4life:
never mind wouldnt do the bp pass im gonna keep it at 4.5.608 then
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
if you want to band unlock

you don't need to flash 629 first

start with 2.4.33

then you can use ezSBF 608 or 629

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 PM ----------

likely to late for that
[Droid 2 Global General] tone4life:
to late for that? then what do i do now then...? im trying rsdlite 4.5.608 flash right now
[Droid 2 Global General] tone4life:
What im gonna do it rsdlite flash 2.4.33 then use my 4.5.629 boot linux cd then flash step 1 on it then go to step 2 root on it.... that work then..?
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
all you have to do is

1 flash 2.4.330 sbf with rsd lite

VRZ_A956_2.4.33_1FF_01.sbf.zip (254.1 MB) md5:

2 use ezSBF 2.3.3/ 4.5.608

flash 4.5.608 (if pc does not have at least 1gb of memory, it may fail)

3 root your phone with pete's root tools Instructions

4 install d2 bootstrap

5 Optional: At Clockwork Recovery, make nandroid, not require, may want it later

6 At Clockwork Recovery, Wipe Cache and install TBH Band unlock.zip thanks to The Black Hat Team

7 Reboot phone then it should be able to use AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon and enjoy

but you tried 629 sbf, so 608 may fail now (mem blank error), if so just use 629
[Droid 2 Global General] tone4life:
well i tryed to flash rsdlite just back to factory its went through says pass but still in bootloader and MEM Blank error

a min ago i flashed it to 2.4.33 then i used my 629 boot cd went through the flash process then it came back up fdroid but they wasnt nothing there
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
what?
[Droid 2 Global General] tone4life:
I flasheed it to the 2.4.33 then after it pass through rsd i went to 4.5.629 linux boot cd did the flash 4.5.629 went through worked and after it brought droid back up they wasnt nothing there like it been deleted are something so know i i rsd light 2.4.33 again but im using 4.5.608 linux cd i skipped my sound card options lol what ever that was nowing its loading files up so i see what that does.. its doing the cg35 cg39 etc update right now using the 4.5.608 boot cd
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
you only have to flash 2.4.33 once, as long as you don't flash again with rsd lite

just use 629 ezSBF, 608 likely will not work, because you already tried 629

once you flash 629, 608 will not boot up
[Droid 2 Global General] tone4life:
i did the 4.5.608 cd but after it completed never restarted my phone still in boot loader and blank mem yes and it went to next step to root on that cd i just turn off pc Not sure
[Droid 2 Global General] tone4life:
ill try the 629 cd again see..
[Droid 2 Global General] tone4life:
okay i did the cd 4.5.629 boot it went through it brought it up droid and all at the slide bar but the background is blank nothing there no apps no nothing and all i see is usb connection connection detected all i see is batery charing wifi and stuff at top other part is white as in whole back ground is black nothing there...?
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
ok, guess you can try the 2.4.33 again

I would wipe data in android recovery again

your using same cable, usb port, and pc as last tiime?
[Droid 2 Global General] tone4life:
yes same pc and laptop to do the cd but yea i wanna try to just whip everything off and go back to like it was...
[Droid 2 Global General] tone4life:
to whip data and android i use rsdlite and use these VRZ_A956_4.5.608_1FF_01.sbf.zip to restore to factory? right
[Droid 2 Global General] tone4life:
i did the rsdlite 4.5.608 it pass but stock in bootloader screen after the reboot. Hmm
[Droid 2 Global General] tone4life:

try opening play app, while connected to wifi
[Droid 2 Global General] bhigham:
sd_shadow, nice concise writeup, just wanted to mention one option that could come in handy for some people who have spent a lot of time getting their phone how they like it. If someone would like to preserve their current setup, they could actually root the phone as a first step, install bootstrap and create a nandroid backup. Then follow the steps as you have them laid out, and restore the nandroid as a final step.
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
thanks, I'll add that, as an optional first step(s)
[Droid 2 Global General] tone4life:
