Someone wants to buy my gf's phone but it has clockwork installed with a custom rom. Is there a way to install the original 2.2 rom without the long procedure? Is there a very stable 2.2 clockwork rom with very small modifications?
Thanks

You can install original (rooted) stock 2.3.3 ROM, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140862
I was looking at that but the replies were somewhat negative... I'll give it a try! Thanks

Shrug. You wanted stock with very little modifications. The only mods there are root + a2sd support. (Oh, and removed FB+Twitter junk).
(There is a nandroid backup of 2.2.x posted somewhere here, but I cannot find it and IMHO if you want stock ROM, it is pointless to flash 2.2.x now).
I´ve just bought a Vibrant Galaxy S and I was thinking in updating it to gingerbread. First I thought there was an official release since most of the galaxy s have gingerbread now but to my surprise no gb for Vibrant. After reading this forum I have come to no conclusion whether I should update to 2.3.4 by using CyanogenMOD because if I read it correct it seems:
1) that Cya 7 drains battery faster than samsung stock 2.2 rom.
2) Also, it seems that all the samsung stock apps doesn´t come with Cya7. What app does it comes with for SMS, dialing, etc?
3) Why can´t you use roms from Samfirmware.com, there´s a I9000BVJJW4 2.3.3 there, is it incompatible with Vibrant?
4) What about the Dark Rom which also features 2.3.4, what´s the main difference from cyanogen? does it comes with touchwiz?
Thank you guys.
1) it drains faster because the source is not for the vibrant, its made to work on the vibrant
2) the dialer is the same and the mms is about the same but cm7 does have the dsp manager to raise the music quality and rendering effects but if you like twiz or stock widgets so much just flash a twiz gb rom like
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192438
3) the i9000 source does not work but is ported to work on the vibrant in fact that's probably what some roms are based on
4) I don't know I couldn't find a link to it but if you've seen it just read the op it will explain everything and whether or not it has twiz
people flash gb roms for the speed and customizeability not for battery life and there are gb roms that look like stock gb (cm7), or sgs2 (revolutionRom), or are one of a kind (MIUI), you can back up your phone in clockwork now, then flash each gb rom and restore back if you don't like it as many times as you want until you find the one that's perfect for you but if battery life is most important stick with 2.2 but give gb a try

I´m thinking on trying the MIUI, do I have to update my bootloader before? I have the stock 2.2 firmware in it.
I'm not sure what uploading your bootloader means but no you don't need to flash the gb bootloader or froyo bootloader just do some wiping and flash the rom .... the gb bootloader is just to get rid of rainbows and having the wrong bootloader doesn't brick your phone so it doesn't matter .... saying bootloader so much sure made this reply long btw I think MIUI still uses the froyo bootloader so flash away

Jvp roms should not be flashed with gb bootloaders because the external sd stops mounting but MIUI no longer says jvp and I believe it got updated so yes update to gb bootloaders after you wipe and flash the rom the worst that could happen is your external sd stops mounting and you'll have to flash the old bootloaders back enjoy MIUI
here's a link to the gb bootloaders, the same thread also has the froyo bootloaders just in case

revamped has everything stock MIUI has but comes with the tk's glitch kernel with rom so you won't have to flash it and waste time and it also has clocks, a nice calendar, live wallpapers (stock MIUI has no live wallpaper pre-installed), build.prop tweaks and more just read the op in the thread my other reply has links
absolutely no gb bootloaders for miui and cm7
is there a new version besides 2.5.1.2.
every time i install a theme it gets stuck at vibrant start up screen. i have tried different themes and it has the same result. I'm thinking it's the CWM. any ideas?
The CWR version has zero to do with it. More than likely you are trying to flash themes that are not compatible with your rom.

This is true you need to check as now with GB, and Advanced Froyo as well as standard froyo,,,, different varieties of bootloaders etc. alot of the themes are rom specific. Also,
Try booting into recovery manually by using the vol=/- method this is the best way to get into recovery anyway, if it doesn't work using that method then it never will. BUT 1st thing make sure what you flash is compatible with your Rom
i have the stock rom should i flash a different one?

I don't think any themes work for the stock Eclair or Froyo ROMs.
Is bootstrap recovery the same as clockwork recovery? Are they one and the same?
Also I'm on kernal 2.3.4 do I have to do anything special if I want to load a 2.3.5 rom?
Sorry I'm new to playing around with motorola phones.
I thought they were the same when I first started hacking my phone. But it turns out they are not the same.
As for updating your phone to 2.3.5, if you are on stock 2.3.4, all you need to do is root your phone, install bootstrap recovery and flash the 2.3.5 ROM using bootstrap recovery.
There is a nice guide someone put together in the dev. Section.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Basically, yes - those recoveries a almost the same. They are both used in the same way, which is to backup/restore, wipe data and flash a ROM. So there's no real difference.
As for the 2.3.4 kernel. SOME people can get away with flashing a 2.3.5 based ROM on their 2.3.4, others can't. Either way, I'd recommend just updating to 2.3.5 to safe. Plus (to me), 2.3.5 seems smoother and faster.
To Update to 2.3.5, just download the update.zip from here: http://www.multiupload.com/0ZT7FTOW0R
This is just the update file, so all you need to do is flash that, but I won't get into much about that.
If you need a guide on updating it, then you can look at this one right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391824
That's the one I used.
Ok so I'm currently on Molten 2.2 wich is a 2.3.4 romand was looking at liberty rom wich is 2.3.5 rom. So all I would need to do is just clear the needed data and flash it like any other rom?
The reason for asking about if it was clockwork was because in one of the roms the instructions says to use clockwork and I never saw a like to clockwork in the dev section
Yes I looked in the stickies first and these were just the questions that popped up that I didn't see the answer to it. I may have just over looked it but I figured I would ask before I borked my phone lol
looks like while I was writing a responce some one answered lol thank you all for your help
U don't need to root to install 2.3.5
It is signed by moto so we can flash in stock recovery
(actually that's how you SHOULD FLASH 2.3.5)
And our BSR is a hacked/ported cwm
To update to 2.3.5 you WILL need to be STOCK (you CAN be rooted but it will take away root when u flash it....just root again with zergrush...)

Just so you know, Liberty is a 2.3.4 rom. Have a look at the OP in that thread. If you're on Molten, just wipe data and cache and you should be set.
I am a little confused as I read thru forums stating instructions for installing cwm/twrp. As I have pretty much gone thru every thread and basically realize i am pretty much stuck with safestrap twiz roms. Not a happy camper. Is there a work around or a thread I have missed?
I have had this schi545 for a week now. Is there light at the end of this tunnel? as I am not a big touchwiz fan due to themeing limitations..
anyone above the first firmware MDK, can only use safestrap and roms running on the TW kernel. I recommend you look into eclipse if you dont like TW. Its aosp themed and feels like it, but runs off the TW kernel.

That is correct. The original MDK bootloader is the only one that could be exploited (through a process called loki) which allowed flashing a custom recovery. VZW locked things down after that and there is no exploit available.
