If i install tenfar recovery and use that to flash a custom rom, is it possible to go back to bone stock rom and recovery? maybe using the sbf?
also are there rooting and custom recovery install options available on stock gingerbread now?
sorry if these are already answered elsewhere.
You could sbf to get to stock or just make nandroid backup of stock.
The only way to get on stock rooted gingerbread is using P3Droid's release that can be found on mdw.

Also Tenfar's recovery works on Rooted GB as far as I am aware of.

right thanks.
but if i nandroid restore from within tenfars recovery, it still wont go back to stock recovery.
also what is this news about people bricking when going back to froyo sbf - is it only a problem if u have gone to gb sbf or even going back from a custom rom to froyo sbf will brick the phone?
This is in the wrong forum. Thread closed.

Hey All,
I'm new here but I've been reading threads. I've had and OG droid up till now and was running CM 6.1.1.
I've rooted my fascinate using SuperOneClick and I was able to make a backup once using clockwork mod right after I pushed it to the phone with ODIN but since then it comes up with the stock recovery. I tried to use and update zip to push CWM but that errors out and I have to do a battery pull.
I wanted to post in the threads where I got the tar and zip files but can't since i don't have 10 posts.
All of that said does anyone have a link to a permanent CWM either as a tar or zip. Or am I not understanding how to do this with a samsung phone.
Thanks!
Joe
After you flash clockwork you have to flash either a new kernel or a new rom or recovery will reset to stock.

The stock kernel reflashes the recovery every boot, so after you enter CW you must flash a new kernel to keep it.
Correct

Ah...
Ah.. I will look around for custom kernels that work with the stock rom as I find it to be ok, when using ADW launcher...
Thanks!
This thread might have something that will work for you. I haven't used it, but it sounds like what you are looking for.
Looks promising
I will check this out tonight when I am back at my PC.
Thanks!

I just switched over to HTC TB last week. I rooted it and put in Tesla Coil 1.7.1., which runs magnificently.
But I feel I should update it to Gingerbread.
Would that be possible by just flashing a GB rom?
Or do I have to do a manual update first?
Thanks for the help
Everything is new to me now since I switched over from Droid X.
If you have a custom recovery, which you should...then you just flash the ROM (from recovery) and its recommended radio (from bootloader). Oh, and wipe data/cache obviously.

Yeah, I'm using Rom Manager to reboot to recovery.
So if I just flash the ROM and the recommended radio, my system will update itself to 2.3.4?
Would you happen to know how to REVERT back from 2.3.4 to 2.2.1 also?
Just in case things don't go well.

Just make a nandroid backup. Then if you don't like GB, you can restore your nandroid backup and flash the old radio back.

Oh wow, much simpler than Droid X.
For Droid X. I'd have to SBF back to Froyo from Gingerbread and only then am I able to reflash my Nandroid backup of a Froyo ROM.
Thanks for the advices!
Time to go ROM hunting
Need help! I tried running through the steps to install pre-rooted gingerbread on my dx2 and everything was going well till the reboot, now the phone won't get past the motorola M "dual core" screen. I can get back to stock recovery, I've tried wiping the phone but no dice, so I've sbf-ed back to froyo through RSD lite and then the phone starts up fine. Tried installing pre-rooted GB three times and it always ends the same :-( Probably just being a moe.ron but I have no idea what else to try. Thanks in advance for anyone taking the time to try and help!
-desperately wanting rooted gingerbread
Sbf to gingerbread and find the thread on one click gingerbread root method.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Gotta root froyo, then use the bootstrap to install that file. Now that we have the sbf for gingerbread and the one click root...you don't have to go to froyo and take all those unnecessary steps, just flash the gingerbread sbf. Just make sure you wipe data before the sbf...it usually eliminates a bootloop.

#1 If you made a backup or "nandroid" via CWM then upgrade the system you have to downgrade back to whatever base you made the backup on for a full restore. Also you if you install ICSa you can go into CWM and hit advanced restore and restore data only and it should restore all programs and settings.
#2 Do you mean Rom? usually you have to make sure the rom is on the same base as you ie. .748 ect..
#3 Battery Pull is hold power and volume- down together.
yeah I meant rom stupid auto correct. Thank you.

Hi,
I'm currently on 10.1 ROM but I'd like to try the last old stock ROM by Motorola and then go back to my 10.1.
Which are the steps should i follow?
I thought
1) nand backup from recovery (to save my actual cyanogen unofficial epinte-olympus 10.1)
2)searching on the forum i found this . I think I can flash this stock from recovery right? (i'm not english speaking language). Or should I take this? But this second is not flashable from recovery so Is safe? if i flashed this second one i lost revocery mode so i can't reflashed back the 10.1??
Thanks in advice

Did you make an initial backup of your stock ROM right after you unlocked the bootloader?? If you did, then you should be able to restore that.
1. Go into recovery
2. wipe data, cache, factory reset
3. go to backup and restore
4. and restore the GB backup.
if you DIDN'T do a backup initially, then hopefully someone here has an answer for you, because I don't. sorry.

This site has fruitcakes and sbf files.

Flash a fruitcake.
are you en att user?
If you flash ThE att fruitcake, it wont let you go to cwm.
if you want to go back to to cm10.1 you might install with fastboot The CWM, and reboot into cwm before it boots to att. If you boot into att it will kill tour cwm.
So fastboot tour cwm, and reboot directly un cwm.
Every time you boot ib att 145 it kills tour CWM.

145 had a recovery that reflashes the stock recovery after flashing a custom recovery. You need root access to delete the file that causes that to happen, then custom recovery will stay. Somewhere here on xda there is a page that lets you flash 145 like a fruitcake. If you don't want 145, you can do 141 with no recovery issues.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
i flashed the 145 fruitcake. the fruitcake is already rooted, right? so even the fruitcake flashed the stock recovery.
so there is a file to delete that stock recovery, besides de feuitcake itself?

yes. As i said, it will be in the system partition. I don't recall offhand what the file name/location was, but i do know there is a script called boot from recovery, it ties into what i'm refering to.
I believe 145 is rooted, but i was already rooted before i flashed 145.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
The definition of a "fruitcake" is "100% untouched stock system", therefore a real fruitcake will never be rooted.
what about bootloader?
i read that someone removed the bootloader lock from 145 ota, so you can update from 141 to 145 and your bootloader wont lock.
so that is not a fruitcake anymore?

That would be the method i used to go from 141 to 145. There was a thread with the zip file of the ota that can be flashed via cwm. As i said, i'm not sure if its rooted or not, but its a fairly simple process. The bootloader remained unlocked when i used this method
Fruitcakes never include a bootloader.

So that means that the alternate method of upgrading from 141 to 145 via cwm is a fruitcake, right?
