Instructions to Apply Fission 1.1 Final

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 Fission!!

Credits: The ROM was created by AngDroid and Matt4542 and some other peeps. Tutorial was written by me. You'll need to be rooted in order to run the Droid 2 Bootstrapper.

Information on how to root the Droid X and Droid 2 can be found here:

The fine print: Matt4542, AngDroid 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 (for Droid 2).

2. Download Fission!

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 custom recovery. You should see some green text with various options, and a little lower than the middle of the screen, it says ClockworkMod Recovery. We are going to call this the main menu.

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. You can also use the Volume Up/Down to navigate, the power button to cancel or go back a menu, and the photo trigger as okay.

8. Using your slide out keyboard or the volume control buttons, scroll down and choose backup and restore. It should take you to another menu. Choose Backup. Let it runs it's course. After it is all said and done, you will now have a back-up. If it does not bring you back to the main menu after this backup press the power button.

10. On the main menu choose mount and storage. And then choose mount /system. The option will become unmount /system after choosing it. After that, go back to the main menu.

11. Next, at the main menu, you'll need to wipe cache and then wipe data. First, scroll down to wipe cache partition and choose it. It'll take you to another menu confirming. Choose the yes option. It'll wipe. Go back to the main menu again, and do the same with wipe data/factory reset. Confirm by choosing yes.

12. Now you need to mount data. Go to mount and storage and choose the second option which is mount /data. The option will become unmount /data. Make sure that both /system and /data are mounted.

13. Next, go back to the main menu and choose install zip from sdcard.

13. Then choose install zip from sdcard. Choose (TheVersionOfFissionYouWant).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.

15. Next, at the main menu, you'll need to wipe cache and then wipe data AGAIN. Scroll down to wipe cache partition and choose it. It'll take you to another menu confirming. Choose the yes option. It'll wipe. Go back to the main menu again, and do the same with wipe data/factory reset. Confirm by choosing yes.

14. Now navigate back to the main menu. And restart your phone by choosing reboot system now. It'll reboot.

Note: Your first boot will take a little while, up to 10 minutes. PLEASE BE PATIENT.

15. After the reboot is complete, you need to do a factory reset inside of Android. Press the menu button in the bottom left of your phone (image of the 4 squares), choose settings, then privacy, then choose factory data reset. It'll give you a warning and ask you to confirm. Go ahead and confirm. The phone should factory reset itself and then reboot.

16. After reboot, you need to enter your Android information again. Just follow the onscreen user interface until completion like when you did when you first got your phone.

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, and choose the restore file you want to restore to. The files are named by the date you
