and here i thought i did...
It's just a system dump from the Motorola Electrify. It's more or less the same as our stock system dump.
Well let the rom making begin! I wanna root and flash my phone badly....but I dont wanna do it until there is a way I can go back to stock for warranty purposes.

Thanks for the hard work, guys.
I wish I were able to make roms.
Unfortunately I'm running into an error when attempting to flash via cwm.
Getting status error 0.

superuser in stock dump?
@shabbypenguin,
I was reading through your AIO root thread and it occurred to me that I had rooted prior to extracting the system dump that is posted in op as "Stock". Therefore, there is a version of superuser present in /app that I assume may not have been there as delivered. Of course, I may be making an incorrect assumption.
Is it appropriate then to call this stock, or is it a given that rooting would have been necessary to perform the dump in the first place?
I also don't know if this would affect your deodexed version?
Just wondering if this fact needs to be mentioned somewhere, unless I just did.

It's says in op that you can't flash using cwn

First off, thanks for all your efforts to provide us with this...
Second, root is a requirement for the dump and so even with the Superuser app, what you supplied is most definitely stock.
Unless of course you deleted anything in /system/ prior to the dump...

This is simply a stock from from the Photon's "sister," the Electrify. No one has even identified if there are any benefits/improvements hidden inside this ROM, much less how compatible it is with the Photon.
Just because something IS flashable doesn't mean you SHOULD flash it. OP was very clear - this is for devs only, not public consumption. If you don't know enough, then you're better off exercising some patience and waiting for further announcements.
actually im gunna guess that the man has an electrify and my cwm script is busted
I would venture to guess that you guys will have the same issue we do with the photon roms. As other members on my team verified that root, recovery, kernel and unlock work from the photon. The kernel needed wifi fixed which was pretty simple. In which I pm'd shabby about earlier. The roms also work but some things need fixed to get it working.
I don't know all the details besides what weasel told myself. But mms, 3g I believe works but going back to stock it wouldn't, eri says sprint, blur e-mail fc's and activation for sprint kept popping up to where you have to skip it. Weasel has fixed most of the stuff in the homebase port. I believe e-mail still fc's and mms is still broke.
But here is the first deodex rom weasel and myself did if you want to add it to the first post. http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=265
Then here is the kernel shabby did with wifi fixed ready to install. Only rc-1 since wifi was broke in rc-2. If the electrify people want to install it just grab it from shabby's thread. There was reports of 3000's+ in bench's. Not sure of rom it was on but I would venture to guess our stock rom. http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=118&t=334
Then here is the port for homebase weasel is playing with http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=268 if you guys wanted to look at it.
i would gather a lot of frameworks issues, as with services.jar would happen between the phones.
edit: you keep saying you fixed wifi. but the only way to fix it, is by rebuilding the modules using my config file.. which only i have...
unless im missing some other way to replace it?
Can you take a rom made for a different model phone and put it in another model? Example rom made for samsung put in a razr phone. I found a dark aosp rom i want to put in my razr. Will it work if i root?
yes you can but it has to be ported to this device...I want to also have some Roms i had on my EVO to be on this RAZR like a MIUI or CYANOGEn those were my FAVS the phone just came out give it some time it will happen in no time im sure
+1 for MIUI

First, IMO MIUI just looks like an iPhone. But the problem is the locked bootloader, without it being unlocked you can't install the custom kernel required by those ROMs. I have the Eclipse ROM installed right now and love the debloatedness of it. I will go back to stock once ICS is released so I can upgrade. But I think I will stick with this until then.

Really wouldn't recommend doing that, you will almost certainly bootloop your phone. Other devices use different hardware and need different drivers, it takes a fair bit of work to port a ROM.

Do you just want the theme? We can't really port a lot more than a framework to the RAZR thanks to that locked bootloader.
If it is the theme you want, extract the boot animation, sounds, fonts, framework-res, system UI, and any apps you fancy, and start extracting, signing, and comparing what's in the RAZR's stock files vs. your desired ROM. Steep learning curve if you're new to it, no overnight fix or instant answer, I'm afraid.

i want the whole rom...has bootloader fix...everything. wish that you all could just read what the rom has,,even includes ics. well thanks everyone for your time and efforts of trying to help
Hi guys,
I am one of galaxy s2 die hard fans and i love it! however currently, i am on GB, not planning to move to ICS due to all those bugs and force close thing.
I am planning to make a new ICS custom ROM base on official xwlp7(latest Russian release) and wanna share it with you all.
However, i need some opinions and advises from you all.
Example, what you want/need for a ROM that suits you. I am thinking of OTA thingy for ease of customization, but i might need to "rent" or host my own server for that. I am too new for that, and I don't think i can afford it.
Tell me what you want, like, need, must have and so on.
Btw, can i replace old bootloader for official ICS firmware for usb jig purposes?
What apk is a need and what not. I am still new on this, so my so-call future ROM might or might not come out. Hope i don't give up half way. I know this is gonna be tough for someone new to cook a new ROM like me. I love challenges!
So please leave a comment, i will try to evaluate and hopefully make a useful ROM for you guys. Let's keep the development alive! WEEEEEEE!
Yes you can include old bootloader. Thats what I do when repackaging firmwares.
Also, include the usual, Superuser, Busybox, CWM Recovery.
Personally thats all I would need but cosmetic changes are more my thing. So extra window animations and transitions would be great with a menu in settings to choose from!
Good luck!

I suppose so. You need bootloader to boot up your phone. That's why it is called bootloader!

Hi, my name is Travis, I've been a verizon slave since 2009 with the bb storm. Moved to a droid then x and x2. I'm currently on an incredible 2 and I hate it. Through much push and pull, I got to keep my service on the incredible and also keep an x2 along with a free extended battery.
I rooted 2.3.5 on the x2 and now looking into roms. My software learning curve isn't steep so I thought I'd send a shout out to the devs and members here. Looking into finding a great rom for the x2 withing the next few day.
Oh yeah, I'm leaving in a month for basic in the AF, going into cyber surety(basically legal hacking) and looking forward to it.
Thanks for reading, I'll be around!
Welcome. Every one here is awesome and will help if you need it.
Most all x2 roms are built on 2.3.4
Eciplse is on 2.3.5 though, and is a very good, stable rom.
If you want more excitement than try some of the ics, cm9 based roms. Just know that they are buggy and being worked on. Aokp, paranoid android, and of course cm9.
Cm7 is much more stable then th ics builds and could easily work as a Daily driver.
Good Luck.

I was thinking about the eclipse rom, It looks really nice. It will take a bit. I'm still reading and this forum is huge. I haven't found the "how to" thread yet on roms. Sure I'll find it. Thanks for the warm welcome.
I would check out the Cm7 rom thread. It has some good links to the guides you want as far as sbf, root, nandroid backup and bsr(aka cwm recovery).
Eclipse won't let you down.
If there is anything I can help you with, then don't hesitate to pm me.

Welcome aboard sir, and as an AF vet good luck with your service and thank you for stepping up.
As for roms you will find much more action happening with the 2.3.4 build as others have already mentioned. CM7 & 9, PA, AOKP are all based on 2.3.4.
You will absolutely want to find the "How to SBF" thread and get setup for doing an SBF. To my knowledge no dx2 has ever been "hard bricked" but "soft bricking" can and does happen which means SBF is your salvation as of course is nandroid backup. And my last piece of advice would be to make a nandroid backup of 2.3.4 Stock/Rooted, particularity if you are a"flashaholic" as some of us are on here...lol
Anyway welcome to the friendliest forum on XDA. :beer:

+1 for eclipse since it is the most stable and sounds like you wont have much time for figuring out any bugs that may occur on the ICS based Roms since you will be serving our country lol. Good luck, and thanks.
Wow. Thanks for all the warm wishes and thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'll be sure to post back about my Rom upgrade.
I like cm7 for the customizations, I have used eclipse for awhile and it's fantastic as well but i always find myself floating back to cm7. Just curious, there seems to be great roms for the dinc2, what about it did you not like?

Step 4 says "Apply 235 update in stock recovery"
Is this update through the android recovery on startup, or after I get into settings?
Thanks for the help!
I tried going into recovery from start up and it just held up with the android icon and exclamation point in the triangle...for a really long time. OR cant I apply 235 with RSD and achieve the same thing

First off...welcome! And now on to your question.
After rooting, protecting root with voodoo, and temp unrooting:
Just take the OTA update to 2.3.5 by going to System Updates in Settings-About Phone. Then restore root using voodoo and delete backup.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
System update is the easiest way but to answer your question yes you can just use rsd to get on 2.3.5 b418 because 2.3.5 is now rootable. You don't have to do the long method via voodoo ota rootkeeper any more.

Wow I feel like I've been struggling for nothing. I was already on a rooted version of 235
I also want to ask about the eclipse pack, it should be an unzipped file on my sd card correct? I'm reading around and I see "zipped" and "unzipped." This is my first rom so I need to be sure.

If you have already SBFed and are going to do it that way then yes. Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317707 for any future questions about SBFing or just ask. If you are already on 2.3.5 then there is no need to sbf because you can just root 2.3.5 now.

Yup just leave it zipped and placed on sd card not in a folder. Boot into system recovery and "install zip from sd card."

First, I'm not a developer, I've never made a rom now do I know how. Not that I can't learn. I'm just broke and have a horrible computer its so bad I haven't used it since I got my evo 4G. Anyway I'm not new to flashing, modding or anything to do with my evo. What I like to do is flash a rom as a base then find other tweaks and mods and flash them. remove things the developer put in and maybe replace them with other thing I find from other roms. Eventually I have a custom "rom" mostly unrecognizable from my original base. My question is, is it possible to nand my "rom" and turn it into a flashable rom to share with the community?

I believe you can use the latest version of clockwork mod to create a flashable update.zip of your current ROM that you could then share with people.
Edit: Option can be found under backup and restore options and is called "create image zip"

What about Ra? I guess I can check myself. If I rename the zip, would you still be able to flash it? Would it be considered a rom? Would I post it in developers section? With proper credit of course.

Amon Ra (I assume thats what you mean by Ra) is pretty old, I think its a CWM (Specifically clockwork mod 6 and above) only feature. Yes I'm pretty sure if your just renaming the zip and not modifying any thing else once you create the update.zip you should be able to flash it just fine. And yes it would be considered a ROM more of a cooked ROM since you didn't compile it from source, but still a ROM non the less. And yes since it's a ROM post you would post it in the development section (Not Original Development Section though), and as always like you mentioned proper credit is important :good:.

The easiest and most legitimate way to get enough posts if to look through the the various Q & A threads and try and answer some peoples questions, or you can look through topics that interest you and comment on them in some way that adds to the discussion.
Thanks for the tip. That's what I was going to to do. Thanks again for the info.
So I finally got my rom how I want it, I flash the latest cwm, and the option to create a flashable zip is not available for the evo 4g. Any other ideas?

Try doing a data dump (dd) of all the partitions on your device using commands along the lines of: (Can be done from ADB shell or terminal emulator)
$ su
# cat /proc/mtd
Also try "mounts" if that doesn't work
Then based on that output you dump the partitions using the dd command (Following is an example do not copy verbatim).
# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 of=/mtd/sdcard/system.img
Then take a meta-inf folder from a working ROM for your device, extract the contents of the system.img file so you have a system folder, and the boot.img once you have these three files zip them all up, and sign the Rom then flash in recovery.
Another suggestion, would be to just take the stock Rom or even Cyanogenmod for your phone and modify that using notepad++, Gimp, and 7-zip (PM me if you want some help with this).
Finally, you could look into compiling AOSP or Cyanogenmod from source for your device.
