A user posted a fantastic MB860 AVD on the Developer forums @
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=983116
I originally assumed (stupidly) that to update this to 2.3, all you would need to do is unpack the latest SBF and replace the image files. Forgetting that the phones nor the world works that way, I thought I'd ask if anyone had ideas on making an update of the MB860 AVD to 2.3.
Thank you!
These are published by Motorola. I downloaded the new one a few days after the OTA came out.

Edit: I should note that I haven't gotten a 2.3 MB860 AVD to boot. It just bootloops. The 2.2 MB860 AVD works great for me though.
You're a beautiful human being. Thanks!

I found and put the leaked version of 2.1 on my droid eris and want to root my phone so I can put KaosFroyo 2.2 v39 on it. Is there anyway that this can be done? I jumped the gun and put the leaked 2.1 not knowing about rooting my phone.
Can anyone help? I want to be able to use different Roms.
Look for the One Click Root thread in the Android Development Section. It may be several pages back.

will do thanks!
Yup, root is completely universal for the eris now. The devs here are some of the best on xda!

Yes, its good to know that you are rooted and you have joined the community. I suggest you try froshedyo, tazzfroyo, or kaosfroyo rims. There are others, but these are my personal fave. I would wait untill maps releases v40.

Just purchased my 1st Android phone and am getting used to everything. Without sounding like a broken record and having spent some time on the forum, can I please be directed to or have answered how to root an Atrix 4.1.83 v2.2.2 without flashing back?
Does it make sense to wait for Gingerbread to come out or does it make sense to unlock the boot now?
Any input greatly appreciated.

Look for Gingerbreak in dev section to root.
I would unlock and flash Kenneth Penn's 4.5.91. The Moto release in SOAK will stop you flashing back if you want to.

If you wait and get an update from Motorola and you have your artix rooted on 2.2. How should one proceed? Does one just update and then re-root after that?
Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if I HAD to flash back in order to gain root. As much as I don't like the motoblur bloat, a few items are handy. Any ROMs to look at?

When I was running 1.83, I used a method from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138204
Check out the third post in that thread. You'll need ADB to get it done, but if you don't have ADB installed you may as well do that.
ROM-wise, I'm using CherryBlur, which is a modified version of the latest 2.3.4 ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160649
And I think it's great. The original HKTW 2.3.4 beta leak had a lot of bugs, many of which have been corrected by community updates and hacks, but Kenneth's 2.3.4 seems to be pretty clean so far. As to whether it's worth waiting for the official release, well... I think it's worth modding your phone just for kicks, and to gain a better understanding of how it works.
Thanks Obscene! Now all I have to do is find the time. In theory; to get bothyour methods done - how long should I expect barring no issues?

Ok guys so I've been off the forum for a while since im a truck driver and haven't had time to play around with things. So my question is simple I did a clean restore and updated to the new OTA update. Is there a root mod yet for this because I really want to get my webtop hack back and install backtrack 5 on here.
I've look through the dev posts but since all the new break through our wonderful devs have performed im kinda lost on what's what and for what mods and firmware.
I look forward to your response and thank you

I just got a new Optimus T in the mail today. EXACTLY identical to the Optimus T I had a week ago, that one I Rooted in 10 minutes with NO prior knowledge of this stuff with z4root and it worked fine. THIS device, however will NOT root
Z4root just closes ( not a fc though,just dissapears) two minutes into the process. None of the other ' one click simple roots like universal androot or easyroot they all just don't work after half a minute of thinking. I even got excited after I had successfully installed superoneclick. But even that program ended after 30 secs with a message that said FAIL (literally) WHAT AM I DOING WRONG??? Could it be the device itself? Could the manufacturer have patched the exploit?? please help me I can't be stuck with this matrix of the android community. My device must be unplugged!! Some be my Morpheus.

What version of Android is on your new phone? IIRC, my Optimus T shipped with 2.2.2. If you have Froyo 2.2.1 or 2.2.2, then use GingerBreak to root it.
ETA: Errr... I guess my phone shipped with 2.2 and I updated it to 2.2.1. Nevertheless, people with 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 should use Gingerbreak.
I had the same issue after the 2.2.2 update. I had to use Gingerbreak to root my old Optimus T
Alright thanks a whole lot guys I'm gonna give it a look see. I totally respect this community.

I like to encourage the use of your eyes. Often times if you have to find what you're looking for you will remember the solution later. Asking will get you the answer but the fun part comes from knowing HOW to get the answer.
I have the Fascinate and I love it.
But for the last few days I have tried many different roots, all work until I want to go into clockwork. What are the correct steps from step one to loading clockwork and load a rom, preferably miui. I had the og droid and was great at booting and loading rom's but the fascinate is throwing me for a loop.
Soo with that said I would like to make a request for anyone willing to do it, please show/tell me how to do this. I have seen posts on new roms, but not rooting updates and etc.
