[Q] Clarifying switch from 2.2 ROM to P3 pr-root GB
Hey guys, just want to make sure I have the process down for my switch tonight. I read through few other threads and didn't see this addressed directly.
So I am running the affinity 2.2 ROM and would like to upgrade to P3's pr-root version of Gingerbread. Since the rom is debloated and deodexed I can't xo a direct update because I am pretty sure some system files will be missing. So the question is do I have to SBF back to stock or could I just restore the android backup I made before updating to the ROM? From what I know so far (but I am new to this) doing so would fulfill all the requirements for the P3 upgrade.
Thanks in advance.

Its probably best to err on the side of caution and sbf to avoid any unforeseen events

I don't have SBF so I used a regular backup. Might be good to get the 2.2.2 system dump just in case you deleted a few apps that will make you error on upgrading.
I'd make a backup of your apps/data (Titanium Backup, or whatever equivilent you may use). SBF to stock, boot up, re-activate, re-root, and install the recovery app. Slap P3's update.zip on your sdcard-ext root, boot into recovery, and apply it. After that you can re-install your backup program and restore your apps.
That's what I did. I don't think anyone has put out any custom ROMs for this release, but I'd only assume they are coming shortly.
i didn't sbf before i flashed p3s gb and everything has worked great.
i would flash the orig backup. restore all apps. restore the build.prop to the original. delete script manager to get rid of any scripts that you were running.
wipe data, system restore, wipe dalvik, wipe cache and flash the p3 gb. that's all i did.

Im still new at all this but that seems like more work than just doing a sbf, wouldn't it just be easier to sbf the phone?

Thanks for all the replies guys.
H_10 hit the nail on the head about what I was going to try. But EvilTim might be right in that it may end up being a little more work that way. I just never had SBFed before (coming from blackberry) and figured I knew this route better. I guess it wouldn't hurt to learn how to SBF now anyhow but I thought I saw some people having some weird problems SBFing.
the sbf problems are why i stayed away from sbf. i've used sbf on my OG droid w/ out any issues but reading about all the issues w/ the x2 made me shy away from it. it's entirely up to you. it was that much "work" to restore the phone for me since i wasn't running a rom. just unfrooze my apps, re-stored orig build prop, deleted 99supercharger from init.d folder, and uninstalled script manager. took 5 mins.

I am currently running stock 1.8.3 and rooted. No other mods. What is the best reliable app or tool for backing up & restoring my current Atrix ROM? I always keep a current TI full backup on my computer just in case, but have not backed up the ROM.
The last 1.8.3 update gave my phone a bit of a boost in that the screens load a bit faster and the phone seems a little more responsive.
My biggest wishes are:
1. Get the built in FM radio app from Motorola
2. Want Skype to enable video chat
3. Get rid of the white status bar. God I hate the white background, but am hesistant to use any of the mods because of the known bugs and for fear of screwing up future OTA updates. I have been on XDA a long time and have seen a lot of screw ups so I am very cautious.
I have about 420 apps installed so far, with about 83 processes/widgets running and the phone just steams ahead and takes everything I throw at it.
Anyway if anyone has experience with a ROM backup would appreciate any info
thanks
bump question
Nandroid, which you can access through tenfar's recovery.
Swyped from my Motorola Atrix 4g using XDA Premium App
I don't think nandroid will backup a rom in its entirety in that you can't use it to restore once you flag another sbf but it will backup LLC the user an system settings to be restored on your same sbf. So if you need to recover, keep a copy of your sbf around, and your nandroid backup (on your computer obviously would be safer, especially if you use gingdrbreak to root) and reflash, root, install cwm, then restore nandroid
Stock Bell Atrix on Rogers with updated radio, Rooted, deodexed, Honeycomb theme, and frozen!
Now I have real problems with TB. Hope someone here can help.
TB has been acting strange for me ever since I went to the pre-rooted Gingerbread. Now it locks up and FC's 30 seconds after loading, no matter what it's doing.
I want to redo everything and start over, but the problem is, I have dozens of modules frozen by TB, with no way to defrost them because of the lockup problems. I know from previous experience that doing a factory reset without defrosting everything first brings problems down on my head, so what do I do?
I need some guidance here. Is redoing the SBF the best way to go?
Full GB sbf, then root it yourself using the new one-click method on this forum. Then do yourself a favor & don't restore any data with TiBu, only the apps themselves.

Well, I found the source of the TiBu problems -- another 32GB sd card going bad!! But I still want to redo everything, so I will take your advice and SBF the moto GB and root it myself.
Thanks for the help, appreciate it.
Happy to help.

Just got started rooting, etc, a couple of weeks ago on the wife's X2, and got an early Christmas VZW Droid Razr!
To play it safe, I just rooted using Zedomax's method and it installed the Bionic Bootstrap Recovery; and I've did one backup just to be safe.
After researching here, I found there's a newer razr bootstrap here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341578
This one uses Zergrush V2 root method but doesn't install the Bootstrap Recovery as the Zedo method does. Nitro has the thread to install the RazrBootstrap.apk which I assume is a newer version here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347767
I also see that Hashcode has Safestrap available which I assume is another backup/recovery method.
My goal right now is to have the razr rooted so I can get rid of the bloat plus have secure/stable backups in case I start experimenting and screw something up.
Is there any benefits to removing the Bionic Bootstrap and installing the Razr Bootstrap? Or using the Safestrap version?
Sorry for the noob questions; and I appreciate any feedback.
THANKS!
Since I'm not getting any feedback on the OP, I'd like to ask if a system restore to my initial backup would cause a particular app to not function properly?
Got an issue and it's really got me stumped.
ANY feedback would be truly appreciated!!!

Is it a system app or a blur integrated app that's the issue?

Not sure. When I click on the Contacts app, and tap a contact I get this message:
SORRY!
The application Contacts Storage (process com.motorola.contacts) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Force close
Talked with a guy today that seemed to be well informed; and he thinks my restore of the initial backup made with Bionic Bootstrap recovery method is missing some data compared to the stock data or has corrupted a file.
THANK YOU for any help!
Have you debloated any of the blur related contacts stuff from system/app? For some reason removing the yahoo contacts or work contacts hoses things up. In the themes/apps section someone posted a link to a full TiBu image of the stock apps if you need a specific item. Factory reset might be the only fix though, or possibly trying to restore only the system partition of your nandroid if its not corrupted.

Have not removed/froze any of the necessary apps that I'm aware of........
After initial root, did a nandroid bu along with a full bu in TiBu Pro. When I started having issues with the contacts, I restored back to initial nandroid along with TiBu. Also used TiBu to extract/restore all the apps from the nandroid bu.
TiBu is currently showing 246 user and system apps. Can't look at the image of stock apps you mention above (at work), but will do that later.
My only resort may be to unroot, and factory reset.......
VZW Replaced Razr
Sharing the results of the Contacts Issue:
Local VZW sales had my razr for a while trying to figure out the FC's when selecting a Contact.........owner talked with Motorola Support plus Verizon Support. Neither had any idea what was causing my issues. Told Store owner to replace it. Now have a new razr in hand!
I am NOT responsible if you screw up your phone...duh...but anyways...
First thing i want to say is that for this and any other type of edits similar to this I will be giving instructions for if you are using ROOT EXPLORER. These things can be done easily with other file explorers also. As long as you can browse as root and mount /system as r/w(read/write) . Root explorer makes this very simple and easy.
Now how to do this:
1.When you download an application it usually comes in an .apk format.
2.Using root explorer navigate to the .apk you have downloaded or extracted from a .zip file.
3.Long press the .apk file and choose "MOVE"
4. navigate to /system/app
5. Press the gray button on top of the window you are now viewing that says "Mount R/W"((it will be next to where root explorer shows how much space you have available for the partition you are viewing))
6. Press paste.
7. ::VERY IMPORTANT::you cannot skip this step. Go to the .apk you just pasted and long press it.
Now choose "Permissions"
change the permissions to be rw-r--r--....it will look like this in the boxes
(X=a checked box. _=empty box)
Owner:X X _
Group: X _ _
Others:X _ _
8. now simply reboot your phone and presto it is now a system app. and it wont be wiped away if you perform a data wipe.
If you would like to move an app that you have downloaded from the market to /system , just simply go to /data/app and long press the apk for the app you would like to push to system and follow steps 3-8.
this way you can make an app such as a launcher app your "system launcher" so it wont be wiped if u data wipe. And you could also delete your stock launcher or rename it to .bak and you can have just one launcher running at all times instead of two.
I would also like to state that I intend to grow this post and this thread into a collection of various how to's , including, but not limited to, Basic rom flashing instructions, Theme flashing instructions, definitions for the acronyms we use all the time, and any other general how to's anyone may suggest to us.

Also...don't forget to thank motcher as well if u like this thread...this is a collaboration thread between him and I.
General collection of tips, how to and questions.
####BACKUP your current system with BSR before doing anything!####
1. SBF or nand restore to stock 2.3.4 (if on completely unmodified and fully bloated stock 2.3.4 skip to step 2)
2. Apply 2.3.5 (412 build) in stock recovery after placing on external sd card root and renaming update.zip (reboot phone and hold down volume, press down arrow until you see android recovery, press up volume button, when on next screen press both volume buttons at same time. Wipe cache and flash update.zip)
3. Root using zergrush (with phone unpluged unzip and open zergrush program....make sure unknown sources in applications is checked and that debuggung is checkmarked. I also checkmark stay awake as zergrush recommends setting screen timeout for ten minutes. Connect your phone and then check it is connected as charge only. Hit spacebar and then the phone will reboot after the zerglings lol find a way in and your rooted)
***Rootkeeper has caused issues with some roms aborting install.***
4. Install & then boot into bootstrap
5. Wipe data, cache and dalvik
6. Flash 2.3.5 based custom rom from removable sd card & reboot when done.

Q.Can you reflash your current rom?
A.Yes you can reflash your current rom again. It will reset any theming you have done or flashed back to the roms presets. It will not delete your downloaded apps but will reset all system apps to the rom presets. You just need to wipe cache and dalvik in BSR before you reflash the SAME rom your currently using. This is generally true for updates to your rom unless there is a kernel change.
-------------------------------------------------------
Search Key as dedicated Camera Button Mod (Credit goes to robocuff for letting me know about this)
In root explorer or my favorite paid Root Browser
/system/usr/keylayout. Open the tegra-kbc.kl file in a text editor and find the line that says key 217 SEARCH WAKE_DROPPED and comment it out by putting a # in front of it. Then just add a line that says key 217 CAMERA just below it THE "K" ON BOTH HAVE TO BE LOWER CASE K's. Click save or just back button out. Reboot your phone and you should have it. Root browser creates a backup file called tegra-kbc.kl.bak to revert back just delete the tegra-kbc.kl and then take the .bak off the backup file and reboot.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. Can is nandriod back and forth from 2.3.4 to 2.3.5
A. You can nadroid back and forth however it will not change the kernel. If you restore a Eclipse 2.0.2 backup and even if the backup was on a 2.3.5 build you will be on the 2.3.4 kernel.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Advice: For what it's worth. I noticed when Eclipse 2.0 came out and peper pointed this out. Devs and mod makers create these things with instructions and make them based of certain recommendations/prerequisites and if at all possible follow the instructions and recommendations for use. The results they are intending to give you are based off of what they build them. If you want the best results from a rom or mod follow the given instructions. If you read carefully and follow the instructions to a "T" you'll get what you want. All these phones are the same so I am sure some issues people have with a rom or mod can be fixed easily by following the directions/recommendations /prerequisites given. That's why they are there.
Im not trying to discourage playing around with something just saying if you have an issue. Reread the provided instructions and retry it following them exactly. You'll probably find a happy result and less headache.
Happy flashing
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------How to change phone to 3G only
Open the phone app, dial *#*#4636#*#*, then go to phone information, then scroll down and change CDMA Auto (PRL) to EvDo only, then you are done Edit: This must be done again after a reboot. If I find a way that sticks after a reboot I will update this.

This is an outstanding idea for a thread.
I VOTE FOR A STICKY How about it mod
Thanks imgburn
Just wanna day that motcher and I are working together on this thread to try and create a general how to thread that can be linked to instead of having to rewrite the same directions for things over and over every time the questions get asked lol.
Also...to get this to be a sticky just pm a mod or "report" it with other and explain u think it should be stickied.(another how to? Lol)
But I don't feel this thread has reached sticky status just yet. Im computer less for a day or two but as soon as I get it back I will be adding more to this.
battery calibration, bump charge...and suggestions for better battery...basic stuff that gets asked a thousand times lol....
Great thread! Let's hope it gets read! Seeing as how most stickied threads don't get read (or so it seems) maybe it should remain unstickied...jk

Quick question on nandroid backups. I backed up my Eclipse 2.0.2 via BSR and then went back to stock 2.3.4. I'm wanting to go back to Eclipse 2.0.2 which is on 2.3.5.
Can I just restore my nandroid 2.0.2 without having to apply the 2.3.5 update? Or, do I have to do the 2.3.5 update, reroot, apply BSR and then restore my Eclipse 2.0.2 nandroid backup?

Nandroiding back and forth between 2.3.4&2.3.5 is not recommended..
It will NOT restore kernel going between backups.
This will eventually cause u issues.

Here is the other thing. Last time I sbf'd I nandroided to my Eclipse 2.0.2 which is on the 413 build and the kernel is 00005 so thats why I am wondering if it does indeed moved the kernel.

I nandroided after my last sbf straight into my eclipse 2.0.2 backup and my kernel is 00005 which I think is the 2.3.4 so its confirmed. Ash your not 99.9% right your 100 % right
Hey guys. Recently rooted my DX2 that was on the latest 2.3.5 update and flashed Eclipse. I love it and its amazing but I want to try other ROMs that have much more custom options, etc. However, I was wondering what the best way to go about this is. I know how to make nandroid backups and have one with eclipse as well as one from right after i rooted.
what's the best way to switch between these without losing data etc?
Ok well the nandroid is good but all the other ROMs for the X2 are based on 2.3.4. You will need to sbf down and unfortunately there is no way around this. If you ever wanna come back to eclipse though just take the 2.3.5 ota, root and restore your backup. The same process can be done for the ROM's on 2.3.4. Install one, make a backup so if you ever want to come back to it you can just restore the nandroid. Use Titanium Backup to backup apps so you can just restore them on the other ROMs. Don't back up system data though because it will screw up other ROMs.
if i have a backup of stock rooted i can just boot into recovery and restore using the backup? also, is there an up to date guide on how to rename them.
as for the 2.3.4 ROM backups, i'd have to be on 2.3.4 in order to restore them?
Yea you can restore the stock rooted if you want. To rename them just use a file explorer or something similar and rename to whatever you want. Don't add spaces though or it will screw it up.
And yea you don't wan't to restore a backup of a different version of android. I don't know definitively that it will not work, but it's just a bad idea in general.
What gets erased when I apply an update? My backups are on my external sd card so they'll overwrite the internal correct?
Ive had my internal reserved for mostly just mp3s (and recently photography books and vids), and it still hasnt been erased through months of data wipes and sbfs.. App data can be backed up with titanium backup pro and batch restored. Google backs up contacts, wifi settings, wallpaper sometimes. If using a non stock launcher, your home screen setup and setting can be transfered btw roms. Its just system data and customizations that you need to do for the new rom and thats the fun part. I skipped some details of course but Android is a really efficient system.

thanks for the reply. it looks like the /system and /data folder are the ones that get overwritten so everything else stays untouched from what i can tell.
i tried restoring an old backup i made and got stuck at checkin_mot.db file.. pulled the battery, factory reset, restored latest eclipse backup. not sure what went wrong or if i just wasn't patient enough lol.
I had trouble with a cm7 backup freezing at the same spot..had to delete it. The cm9 backup i tried afterwards restored fine and pretty fast.

The biggest issue when coming from Eclipse, is the kernel. You cannot use a nandroid backup to switch between a 2.3.4 and a 2.3.5 rom. The nandroid cannot backup the kernel due to our ****ty locked bootloader.
So the only way you can go to another rom is to SBF back to 2.3.4 then root, and flash a new one. And even then a nandroid of Eclipse is worthless without it's kernel.
So no, there is no easier way. Other than to avoid eclipse like the plague, and stick with 2.3.4 roms.
Please let me know if I'm a complete retard here, but this has been my experience for the last year and a half.
Well before JB CM10 came out I'd say Eclipse was the most stable and best DD... Lol "avoiding it like the plague" is a bit overboard. But otherwise you are correct. To go to any other ROM it's time to SBF.
I definitely love the skin and feel of eclipse but I would like some more flexibility in terms of options, without overloading the overall device and making it sluggish again like stock.
Are any of the CM versions entirely stable and does everything work? Or they all have force close/non working parts?
Cm7 is pretty stable. The ones with the most bugs would be the CM9 based roms. CM10 JB is incredibly stable for the most part. You would never know it is an alpha. It runs very smoothly. There are problems installing some apps from gplay until alpha 2 is released but if you have titanium backups of your apps you can restore most if not all of them. It's only a work around but its good for now. I'm using CM10 as my daily driver (came from Eclipse.)

that sounds promising. is it specific to the x2 in regards to the soft buttons? (as we already have hard buttons and the baked in ones dont really make sense)
