How long are Nandroid backups supposed to take? I tried doing it today and it was stuck on some black screen with a URL in the middle for over 15 minutes -- I had to pull the battery because I needed to use my phone.
They can take a while!

When u did a backup, were u stuck on the screen that I have described or did cwm offer progress updates?

Same as you... I thought mine was stuck too but I just let it go and it finished.

GingerBlur has nothing wrong with it, but you would imo be better to unlock your bootloader and head on over to GB like most of us and get some of the goodness from the work the devs are doing for it.

Im personally waiting for more complete ROMs before i make the switch. I read to many inconsistencies. I'm going crazy tho...
All you got to do is do a nandroid backup and restore if it messes up B)

Okay, quick question. I've made a back up in CWM recovery. (Unlocked, Rooted yada yada) If I RSD the 154 SBF can I flash back recovery? It's home base ROM or would I need to reflash it? Thanks.

I think if you flash any SBF, you'll lose CWM...So you'll probably need to unlock and reflash CWM afterward.
Yeah. I did that . Knew I would have to. I also found running home base with alien theme and doing a restore after sbf I got some fc's and no service. So unless I missed something this isn't possible with the setup I'm running.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Ahhh that sucks...so you tried updating to the latest sbf and then unlocked and flashed cwm and then tried restoring? Sorry if im confused...but I think because home base was based on an older build it probably wouldn't work..just a guess...

Tried it from the 198_7 and the 154_5 builds both failed. And yes you got it.

I remember asking qbking a similar question about alien...he said if I tried updating phone and then tried to flash alien rom there would be problems. I didn't ask for details, and can't be sure what the issues are...did u just want to keep over clock?

I wanted to keep the theme. It wouldn't work with 198_7.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
You can flash the de-odexed 198_7 stock based rom and run alien theme over it, cant you?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Tried that. Force close issues

Damn...yeah..well I wish I knew how to theme...i might read up tomorrow..it seems like such a lame thing, but I guess I really liked the menus and the dialer..the blacked out look was sick...this stock blue dialer makes me want to yack.

That is why I am on home base with the Alien theme. I like it. I agree though. The black and green is sweet.

Looking for directions for flashing this over stock rooted .181.
I tried one I found on another site and our did not work.
I've searched, maybe not in the right places, but can't find anything detailed.
Thanks in advanced!
Mods please move to correct forum if this isn't it!

If you had safe strap or boot strap installed before your gonna have to fast boot and try again it works I just did this two days ago. I started over fast booted 181 again then followed directions exactly and it worked. Its not a bad idea to fast boot anyway first that way you know your setup to revert back for upcoming ota.
I had a similar issue, trying to update from GB .181 to ICS 79 leaked rom.
Had to reflash .181 all over again because I had previously uninstalled some VZW crap software from phone (and when trying to flash ICS i got the exclamation point after a while)
Afterwards, root, rom manager, es file explore - permisions, and all went ok
Tried it again. This time was a success! Thanks for all the help!

Does this ROM brings the GSM support in Network Settings????
I think the only one that has it is .206 but once flashed your stuck from returning back to GB.

Not on stock from the DND (diddle-n-drool); you have to install a leak-based ROM like Axiom or Black Widow, which include GUI tools for changing the setting.
Mine is set to "LTE/CDMA/GSM auto prl".
So...Yes, it does.
Global phone, FTW.
Haven't tested it, but it's set to that.
Had 2.3.5 .418 originally. sbf'd down to 2.3.4 .380. Rooted using Zergush cause cudnt find a working link for Petes one click method. So now i want to install eclipse, i tried to flash back to 2.3.5 .418, but since Zergush deleted google maps, the flash failed. Installed google maps & it still failed. What are my options?
Your best bet would be to sbf back to 2.3.4. Then update to 2.3.5. Then root using the magic md5 method. Flash Eclipse and enjoy.

I was hoping there was some kind of easy fix like remove the battery, make a wish, put it back, & there ya go. :laugh: Thanks.
Well you could try that! Not sure how effective it would be, but it's worth a shot.

Or skip the extra step and just sbf to 2.3.5

Ive been searching for a clear and concise how to for flashing the X2 rom i have the cm10 port and it fails something to the extent of wrong kernel
the X2 was givin to me so i dont know the history
The specs are as follows
system version 1.3.418.Mb870.verizon.en.us
Android Version 2.3.5
Baseband N_03.13.31P
Kernal version 2.6.32.9-00008
id read somewhere about having to sbf down to froyo before rooting is this the issue?
all roms are flashed on 2.3.4, with exception of eclipse, which is flashed on 2.3.5
flash back to 2.3.4, using sbf and rsd lite,
reroot, install bsr, install cm10

this is how i sbf my phone to 2.3.4, it seems to be the easiest. just make an iso disk, restart your computer with the disk inside, sbf. heres the link http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x2-hacks/41697-tool-ezsbf-dx2.html , although i think it is the same link that shadow gave you. just making sure you saw the ez sbf disc option. good luck.
Your best bet would be to SBF and run a ROM like CM7 or Eclipse 2.3 or Liberty3 (most stable roms)

So..I rooted my phone on 2.3.5. If I SBF back to 2.3.4, can I use RootKeeper to get root back?? Or will that cause problems?
flashing a sbf rewrites all system files, there will be no rootkeeper backup

which carrier?

just dial *228 if you don't get an activation screen.
it's an automated call just press 1, when prompted.
Sent from my XT862 using xda premium
you should just use ezSBF DX2 2.3.4
less likely to cause reactivation problems
