[Q] Stock 2.2 to Bionix V - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Stupid question, but I'll ask it anyway...I'm running stock 2.2 but I want to go to the new Team Whiskey Bionix V...do I need to ODIN back to 2.1 and then root to do that, or can I flash the ROM from stock 2.2?

Here are the steps I followed after receiving the official 2.2 update via Kies:
Gain root access here:
Full Steps to Acheive Root + ClockwordMod Recovery with new KA6 2.2
Then install the latest Bionix through ClockwordMod Recovery like any of their previous roms.
Hope this helps!

I'd try redownloading the zip.
Worst case scenario, I'd Odin flash to JFD (I always repartition...not sure if it's necessary or not) and install CWM/Bionix from there.

I'm not sure if you can install it with the stock recovery because I use the ClockworkMod. You should just get Rom Manager from the market and flash it. It's simple. For Ext2 you can use it on a stock kernel fine with OCLF in the market. For Voodoo (Ext4) you need to flash a kernel that comes with it on a Rom that supports it. Like Bionix.

Whoops. Learn something new everyday. It didn't work for me on stock JI6 though, so I figured you needed a compatible ROM.

You will have to odin back to stock and check repartition and efs clear.
The 2.3 roms are still a bit buggy and are not complete, if you do not have Moderate to advanced flashing skills, then I would not recommend.

You can't Odin back to red cwm recovery, or you don't want to?

Flash in cwm to go back to red.

MIUI is compatible with edify.
EDIT: The kernel it includes will flash an earlier version of CWM.
For future reference, this goes in Q&A.

What is your end goal? You can't really flash cwm because it's built into the kernel.
If you're trying to go back to a Samsung based rom, you *NEED* yo Odin back to jfd and start from there (there is no other way, it must be Odin/heimdall and jfd).
If you're trying to flash to miui or a later nightly, "flash" vibrantmtd, or better yet, flash the rom by hand in recovery.

I read some where I needed to use ROM Manager to update CM7, but if I just have to download it, copy it to my phone, reboot into recovery, then GREAT!!

People suggest rom manager all the time, but really it's just a gui to the recovery, with the ability to download roms.
Yeah, just flash while in recovery.

You will need to use Odin. No way around it. And you will need to flash back to stock 2.1 then you can use the cwm recovery update.zip from the esental hard to find files thread and that will install cwm once your on 2.1 then you can download what ever ROM you want and flash it. FYI you will need to flash the ROM twice. Once will give me the jb recovery then the second time will install the rom
