COPIES from DroidLife writtn by Knolly

Re: [ROM]Fission Vanilla 1.1 - Droid2/WE/X/Pro

First up, a question, is there any way to get the "CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_MAC" feature in the Linux kernel of the ROM? I've never been able to get Wifi Tether's Access Control to work on my Droid X and I'm fairly sure that's why.

Secondly, here's my attempt to revise the instructions slightly in an attempt to idiot-proof them. And by idiot-proof them I mean I would have been able to have less hiccups if they were like this, haha.

Kinda-Sorta-Idiot-Proof Installation Guide Written by a Kinda-Sorta Idiot:

Should work for Droid X or Droid 2, I only use my Droid X but I've adapted it in the appropriate places.

Installation Requirements

1. Rooted Phone: If not already rooted, use SuperOneClick to Root Device.

2. Download the Fission firmware for your device to the root of your SD Card.

3. Koush's Recovery Bootstrap for your device, you can either buy this off of the market for $2 to support the developer, or he also offers them for free here:

Droid X Recovery Bootstrap

Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap

To install these: From your homescreen, click the Menu button, tap Settings, tap Applications, and make sure "Unknown sources" at the top is checked. Then open your browser and enter the URL of your device's Bootstrap (from the links above) in the address bar to start downloading it. When it is completed, open your notification bar and tap on the completed download notification. Tap Install to the Bootstrap and then tap Done.

On Current ROM/Firmware

1. Open Application Tray

2. Tap "Droid X Bootstrapper" or "Droid 2 Bootstrapper" to open it

3. Tap "Bootstrap Recovery"

4. If prompted, tap "Allow" to grant Superuser permission

5. Tap "OK' on "Success" screen

6. Tap "Reboot Recovery"

Your device will reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery

In ClockworkMod Recovery

To Navigate the Recovery Menu:

Move Up/Down on Menu - Volume Buttons

Select Highlighted Choice - Camera Button

Return to Previous Menu - Power Button (Also Back Button on Droid X)

Hide Menu - Menu or Home Button on Droid X

[Ed Note: Can someone confirm whether or not the Back, Home, and Menu buttons do anything on the Droid 2?]

1. Go down to "backup and restore" and select it

2. Select "Backup," your device will create a backup on your SD card. When the backup is done, you will automatically return to the ClockworkMod Recovery main menu.

3. Go down to "wipe cache partition" and select it. Scroll down and select "Yes - Wipe Cache."

4. Go down to "wipe data/factory reset" and select it. Scroll down and select "Yes -- delete all user data."

5. Go down to "mounts and storage" and select it.

6. Select "mount /system." If it is properly mounted, the first row should display "unmount /system."

7. Select "mount /data." If it is properly mounted, the second row should display "unmount /data."

8. Return to the Main Menu.

9. Select "install zip from sdcard"

10. Select "choose zip from sdcard"

11. Find the ROM zip file, if you saved it into the root of the zip card, you should be able to scroll down and select "DX_Fission_FRF91_V1.1.zip."

[Ed Note: This file name will obviously change with later versions]

12. Go down and select "Yes - Install DX_Fission_FRF91_V1.1.zip." After installation you will be returned to the main menu.

13. Scroll down and select "wipe cache partition" and confirm it like you did before.

14. Scroll down and select "wipe data/factory reset" and confirm it like you did before.

15. You should now be at the main menu with the top option selected. If not, scroll up to the top and select "reboot system now" to reboot into Android.

In Fission ROM - First Time Through

1. Skip through the Android intro as needed and skip logging in with a Google ID (you can log in if you want, but it's a waste of time as you'll see in a few steps).

2. From your home screen, click the Menu button.

3. Tap Settings on the menu that pops up

4. Scroll down and tap Privacy

5. Tap "Factory Data Reset"

6. Tap "Reset Phone"

7. Tap "Erase Everything"

Your phone will reboot, reset the factory settings, and eventually boot back into Android.

In Fission ROM - Final Time!

1. Go through the Android intro as needed and log in with your Google account, choosing whatever settings you would like.

2. Open the Market application and search for "Superuser ChainsDD"

3. Only one application should show up as a result, tap it and Install it.

SHAZAM. You're now good to go. Or should be unless something went terribly wrong.

And yes, I apologize since this guide was probably annoying to read due to redundancy of simple things like "go down" and whatnot, but I really wanted to do my best to idiot-proof it. G'luck to everyone!
