I want to go to the new Eclipse, but I am currently running CM7. Do I have to sbf back to 2.3.4, then install the 2.3.5 zip before I can install it? I know what to do after I sbf, just curious what I have to do when I start.

Some have reported success running eclipse on the 2.3.4 kernel. So you may be able to just wipe the big 3 and flash eclipse.
However, if you want to do it as it's meant to be done you will need to sbf. To flash 2.3.5 you have to be on stock 2.3.4.

Sbf is only option.
Tapin' the Talk on the xSquared
Yeah, if you want to do it right with the least possibility or amount of issues, SBF back to 2.3.4 stock and go from there.
Personally, I see no reason to upgrade to 2.3.5, I see no benefits between the two and notice no performance improvements. I am having the best luck with CM7.

I have 1.83 rooted and i flashed gingerblur, I now want to flash greyblur instead. Can I just flash it right over Gingerblur? Or do i need to wipe data first or install a fresh sbf and flash it over that?
Thanks
It worked when I flashed gingerblur over greyblur so I'm assuming vise versa would work. Worst case scenario you would have to sbf flash back to stock.
I'm running 4.1.83 and greyblur worked for me but switched to gingerblur because it supports 4.1.83. According to the op of the greyblur thread it was meant to support 1.5.2. I'm waiting for an update before I flash back to greyblur.

I too am patiently waiting for Greyblur .83. I loved what Kennethpenn did with it. I am all the way back to .83 rooted but running stock ROM till I get Greyblur back.
So does greyblur not work with 1.83? If I flash it over gingerblur 3.1 on 1.83 will it work correctly. I find gingerblur to have bad battery life compared to stock.

That would be a question best asked of Kennethpenn. I do not think it will work but I am also not the best person to answer.

I am still on the older HKTW 2.3.4 and now that the newer ATT leaked 2.3.4 is out there i would like to know the best way to flash it? And by best i mean safest . I know there have been a lot of bricked atrix's, so any help is greatly appreciated!
Additional info:
I have installed Clockwork recovery
I have rooted it
Thanks
The best way is to use Ken's cwm zip. The danger is in updating using the orange pulled from moto servers and then trying to sbf back to an earlier build.
Ken's rom and Dorian's red pill rom are both fantastic.
Edit: This assumes you have the unlocked CWM, which I would guess is the case since you are on HKTW.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
so can i just flash dorians redpill over my hktw 2.3.4, because he says you can do it if you are already on 2.3.4 but i am not sure if it will only work if you are on Kenns 2.3.4. WOuld the safest method be to flash back to 1.8.3, then unlock the bootloader and flash back to kenns 2.3.4 then to dorians redpill?
i'm running P3's rooted gingerbread. it's not running as flawlessly as rooted froyo (HDMI doesn't work, cloud version google music doesn't work). i have a nandroid backup of froyo. can i just flash the backup froyo rom or do i need to sbf? i don't mind sbf'ing but i would like to avoid the hassle of having to sbf, reinstall everything, re root, re debloat, etc.
has anyone successfully flashed a backup froyo from gingerbread?
thanks.
I have considered rolling back to my 2.2 nandoid backup myself. I have both 2.3 and 2.2 set up the same (supercharged, debloated, sd speed increas, vold.file to switch sd external read as internal) and honestely 2.2 was faster and less glichy than 2.3 has been. I "think" you shoul be OK to flash your 2.2 backup from 2.3, but I am not positive about this so wait until others have chimed in to this thread.
google didn't find many results so i read the droidx forum. there are several threads in that forum stating that the X could NOT flash a backup of froyo when on gingerbread. boot up gets stuck at M.
i would assume that it's the same w/ the X2. i think the gb upgrade installed a new bootloader and this is the reason why you can't simply flash a backup froyo rom.
awaiting confirmation.
You can't load backups cross versions. You would need to sbf to froyo first, root and bootstrap, then load your backup. Like wise if you wanted to load a gingerbread backup you'd have to be currently on gingerbread.

Unsupercharge and see how 2.3.3 runs for you. Kills froyo IMO
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA Premium App
2.3.3 had bad music skipping and pausing w/out supercharger. supercharger addressed the lag, for the most part. no way i could use 2.3.3 w/out supercharger.
anyway, i sbf'ed back to froyo, rerooted, loaded custom recovery, debloated, supercharged. i like it better than froyo. my hdmi out works. my cloud google music works. the music does not skip or pause. the only complaint is the screen lag coming out of sleep. i had forgotten about that.
now that i've tried 2.3.3, i'm staying w/ froyo.

Could you not sbf back to froyo, root and install bootstrap, then restore your nandroid backup?
definitely i could've. but i wanted to start from scratch and refreeze crApss and install supercharger. i like fresh starts.
For a sec I thought that said fresh farts HaHa

I've tried lots of variations. Supercharged is the best IMO.
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.
I just rooted my DX2, i intended to use rom manager to flash/backup my roms but that was not working. So i downloaded bootstrap (the little green arrow icon) and used that to make a backup of my stock system and then used titanium backup to backup all my apps.
What i wanted to know is when i finally install a new rom and do a data wipe how do i recover everything if it starts me with a clean phone? do i just reinstall titanium and bootstrap and will SU still be installed?
Also can you point me to a good guide on installing CM9 to my DX2?
Thank you,
Jake
A couple of things. What system version are you on? 2.3.4 or 2.3.5? Also Rom Manager doesnt work for us (as you know now.) Are you using the BSR from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318083 ?
When you install a ROM yes you reinstall the BSR (but if you are going on CM7-9-10 then you need the CM7 patched BSR once on the ROM.) and then Redownload Titanium Backup. All your backups are stored on your external card so a wipe doesnt get rid of them. Once titanium is loaded back up it will find them.
A rom comes rooted so SU and everything is part of the package. Install instructions for ROMS are on the original page of the ROMS. Just note that if you are on 2.3.5 the only ROM that will work for you is Eclipse. All the other ROMs are 2.3.4 based.

I am on 2.3.5, is eclipse a good rom?

Eclipse is a very stable and clean ROM. I used it for a long time. CM7 is also stable and a.lot.more customizable but you will need to SBF to 2.3.4 to get on it. Both eclipse and CM7 are gingerbread roms. Cm9, MIUI, AOKP Paranoid Android are ICS and CM10 is jellybean.

Thanks for recommending Eclipse, its a really awesome ROM. At some point i plan to SBF to 2.3.4 for CM10, but for now Eclipse is better than stock.
Thank you,
