Alright so I'm completely new to all the droid rooting and what not and I've been wanting to upgrade the eclipse v .7 ROM to the latest version which require you to upgrade the kernel from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4. So my problem I have no clue what so ever on how to upgrade the kernel. I've read a few posts on upgrading but they just don't seem to make sense to me.

2.3.4 SBF
How-to SBF
The How-to SBF I linked you to is a very simple one to follow. MN-Shadow done a great job with his but may be overwhelming for someone with little to no knowledge of what they're doing.
Keep this REF Thread bookmarked. Booked does a nice job of keeping it updated. A lot can be found in many of those links if one takes the time to read through some of them.
So first I would upgrade the kernel and then flash the 1.3 eclipse mod?

"Notes:
You must be on the latest 2.3.4 build prior to flashing this due to no kernel being included"
That quote is from the Eclipse 1.3 thread in the very first post, or OP...
So first you sbf, then after its on 2.3.4, root it with Pete's one click root. Then install the bsr (our hacked up clockwork mod) and flash eclipse with it.

The only way to upgrade kernel for x2 is via sbf or OTA.
follow the links xodus provides and u will be just fine....don't be afraid...its not as it looks
just be sure to do exactly what the how to tells ya to ...be thorough
...
You defintely want to upgrade to 2.3.4....this was the best thing that ever happened to my X2....I was only days away from giving up on this phone when the leak hit,now Im loving it......
I would also suggest making a stock nano backup of your stock rom for 2.3.4 it might save you from another sbf if things go wrong. Then you can restore your stock back up instead of doing a sbf. Just a thought.
There was even a unreleased 2.3.5 update, and ROM's are most likely heading in that direction very soon. Nitro, who created the Eclipse ROM, asked his followers on Twitter if they would like to see a release on 2.3.5.

That is the thread for all the TB roms and radios and kernels. I had das bamf remix on mine when I first rooted, and just last night took the plunge into gingeritis. A word of caution, you must flash the leaked gb radio to run any gb roms besides cm7, the radios have bricked tbs badly in some cases, read the disclaimers and pay attention.

i wanna do the BAMF 2.0-5 ... whats the different between the original and the remix?
so i root first ... and then install the rom ... im assuming the kernel comes with the ROM ....
is that the most stable ROm ... or should i stick with 1.7?
sorry for all the questions, but i want to make sure i have everything lined up before i do anything ...
I'm not sure of the differences between the original and the remix, as I have only used 1.7 remix for froyo. The rom you want to download is a gb rom so you need to flash the new leaked MR2 radio which you must do through hboot. Make sure you carefully understand the risks involved with flashing a leaked radio and if you decide to go on then great.
First you download the radio and put it in the root of your SD card, making sure you rename it per thread instructions.
Then you download and flash the gingerbread rom through roms manager. Make sure you do a nandroid backup.
After flashing this roms, the phone will reboot. Pull the battery so that the phone will not reboot into gb with the wrong radio.
Hold the volume down and power keys to go into hboot, flash the radio and your good to go. Don't forget to read the instructions carefully, my instructions are only a summary and are not detailed.
In regards to the kernal, I recommend imoseyon lean kernel for sense. DOWNLOAD THE RIGHT KERNEL for your roms. You don't need to do this, but its nice for overclockibg and undervolting to help with battery life. If you decide to do this read about the speedtweak.sh script carefully.
Or you can just flash a froyo rom without worrying about flashing any radios.

Is the gb Rom stable right now or should I stick with froyo
I need netflix. And to get rid of bogus pre installed apps. And better battery life
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I can't say of all roms how stable they are, but I can say that in the past 24 hours of running Gingeritis, I have had zero issues whatsoever. It also comes with Netflix preinstalled which is also handy. You could go to the alpha build of cyanogen mod 7, which means you don't need to flash a radio, and it will run Netflix its just that you need to look for the apk which is all over the boards.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
I put Gingeritis on last night and love having my Netflix back. I tried the latest CM7, and it also runs Netflix, although just a bit jittery. I'm trying the Th3ory ROM's next.
if you guys have used BAMF ( any version 1.7 or above ) and Gingeirits ... can you give me comparisons ...
im leaning towards gingeritis but dont konw yet
thanks "the kid escobar" ... didnt need to read any tutorials ...
updated radio .. running gingeritis ....
appreciate all the help ....
so now that i have the updated radio ... i can install any GB ROM . correct ... dont have to flash the radio again?
also ... how can i backup all my apps and settings now ???
dont want to re install everything all the time
I'm using BAMF 2.0-5 and it's great. Camera sucks but that's the only problem. I think you can flash the froyo camera and it'll fix it.
You don't need to flash a radio every time. It's separate from the ROM. To backup yours apps/data get Titanium Backup. Buy the full version or donate for a full license.
The only time that you would need to switch radios would be if you were switching between froyo and gingerbread. So as long as you have the GB radio you can run any GB ROM. Just as a warning you might want to be careful when it comes to backing up settings or system apps with TiBu or any other backup app. Sometimes it can cause FC issues that you dont want to deal with. But for apps you can use Astro, Titanium Backup (Pro is worth the $), MyBackup Pro and they should all serve the purpose you are looking for. Have fun.
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.
Hi, I just rooted my Droid X2 this morning on 2.3.4 and want to install Eclipse 2.0.2 and realized that have to be on 2.3.5. I saw this thread and was wondering if it was possible for me to just boot into bootstrap and flash 2.3.5 and install Eclipse 2.0.2 without having to SPF back to complete stock unrooted 2.3.4? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Edit: I also read somewhere that ROM manager does not work correctly with the DX2? If that is the case, what is the best alternative to this?

There really is no alternative to rom manager for what it does. You HAVE to use bootstrap recovery
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
If your running the STOCK 2.3.4, then you do NOT need to SBF to a fresh version. This is whether your rooted or not. You'll only need to SBF to stock 2.3.4 if you installed a custom ROM on, like Molten, Liberty, etc.
Personally, I would recommend SBF'ing - but that's just because I like a fresh, clean start with these things. Eitherway, it'll work perfectly fine.
As for getting to 2.3.5, it's recommend that you use the "Android Recovery" that comes with it to flash the update. Once your on 2.3.5 you'll need to reroot and install BSR to get the custom ROM on.

Yes it can be done
BUT
For people who are just trying to follow the directions for the ROM install, they will end up having issues, because no where in the ROM install instructions, for any ROM we have, does it mention deleting SU backup made by root keeper. So if they try to just flash a ROM after rooting w/ root keeper, they will get an "installation aborted error line 294" & if they aren't able to restore a backup before rebooting then it's just going to be sbf time anyways lol.
If you know what you are doing tho and have read into it and found what you need to do of using root keeper to gain root, then yes, go for it, but the "average" user here is going to have no idea why they keep getting installation aborted, when they could just use zergrush and be all good to go
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk
As it is, if I have to go to 2.3.5, I hold off rooting until AFTER I've updated to 2.3.5. No need to root if I'm sbfing to 2.3.4 and updating to 2.3.5. The root is only needed when I'm ready to install BSR and flash a custom ROM.
This is what I do:
SBF to 2.3.4
Apply 2.3.5 update
Root
Install BSR
Flash 2.3.5 custom ROM
Done
To me, Rootkeeper just seems to cause more hassles and it's just easier to root after I'm done updating to 2.3.5. No need to root at the 2.3.4 level.
Of course, if you are already rooted at 2.3.4 and want to update to 2.3.5, I can see that, but Rootkeeper has been proven to cause issues and it just creates more work to avoid those issues.

for making the most sense of any post on this subject lol
Just flashed hacksungs ics and wifi will not connect at all. Tried it on both build 2 and build 5, coming straight from an sbf. I read somewhere that wiping cache and fixing permissions solves this but it didn't. Fascinate is my old phone so I apologize if there is a simple solution to this, Motorola is a whole other demon..
Here's my process: sbf + install recovery (cwm4), root with oneclick, wipe data/cache, flash ROM and gapps.

Forgot to mention it's not a hardware thing, wifi is just fine when I go back to stock.

Something about your process doesn't seem quite right but I'm, not entirely sure what you are doing due to not being familiar with what an SBF is.
In any case I can tell you a few things:
Youshouldn't have to manually root. ICS ROMS come pre-rooted. Maybe something there is causing a conflict.
THS builds 2 and 5 are OLD. They may or may not still be recommended as an intermediate flash but I know THS is on at least B10 now. Personally I'd ercommend AOKP B38 but that's a person decision.
Also, make sure you are Odin-ing the correct MTD firendly CWM. It should be available in the THS threads.
Finally, THS doesn't really come round these parts no more. That ROM is based on rootzwiki and you may find betetr assistance and more THS users there.
Lastly, and most importantly, follow THIS GUIDE. It is tried and true and has worked for a ton of people learning on this phone.
My bad sbf must be a moto term - set back factory (Odin.) The root occurs before I flash the ROM while I'm still on froyo. Where can I find newer builds? Rootz only had up to 5 unless it was an old post or something. THS seems to be a pretty simple install which is why I'm not sure what's causing this, especially the same problem with multiple builds.

Hi, I successfully flashed my T-mobile Vibrant about twelve months ago to a custom 2.2 Froyo rom (Trigger 3.2 Final). It's a great rom and EVERYTHING works. However lately I've read rave things said about newer roms such as ICS passion. It's been a while and I'm still a noobie at this so my question is:
What is the easiest way to get to ICS passion from my current custom Froyo rom ? Thanks ~ Chris
hi,
Its very easy to get ICS running on your vibe. There may be various ways to proceed. I ll give you what I did (AFTER failing for 5-6 times )
Odin back to stock (It may be not necessary. But I started from the beginning which is better AFAIK )
Then stored ICS ROM (ICZen which in my case) and update.zip (CWM) on internal SD
then flashed GB Bootloaders (It also may/ may not necessary. But I did it b/c I already had many failed attempts)
Then flashed CM7 first
After that flashed ICS on top of it
Worked at last for me
NOTE: Please read relevant instructions provided by ROMs b/c flashing one may differ from flashing another.
You can find more information if you run into problems in my thread [SOLVED]Cannot install ICS ROM--please HELP

^^^ Truth
And I would suggest staying away from Passion. It is based on 4.0.3 and there was a pretty significant code upgread when ICS went to 4.0.4.
IIRC, Passion is the last ROM that still uses 4.0.3 and is probably why it is dead now (but for some reason lives in infamy on YouTube and Google Search).
Haarsh's way works just fine but here is another method as another option too.
Thanks
Thanks for the replies. This is why I subscribed to the forum.
mmm... I see a few pitfalls ahead.
Background info from me is that I can't use Odin on my Linux computer. Never really got into Heimdall. I flashed my first rom by downloading the rom zip file and put it on my phone's internal sd card then let clockwork do the rest, ie nandroid backup and flash the rom from the update zip. I'd like to do the same again.
Ok, it's my understanding that anything above 2.2 needs the GB bootloader so the first step is to install that over my Trigger rom. I think Trigger would still run with the GB bootloader at that stage. Next download an update zip of a rom of my choice, put it on my phone's sd, then flash it with Clockwork.
Seems to me that should work or am I missing something I wonder ?
You can flash the GB bootloader. Its backward compatible so it will work with any ROM currently available.
Download the .zip of the ROM you want, and any Gapps if applicable. Then just follow the instructions on page 1 of the ROM (OP).
The usual would be Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Clear Cache, Clear Dalvik. Flash ROM, flash Gapps, restart. The instructions will tell you all you need to know.
If something goes wrong, give us a shout. That's what we're here for.
