BBv1.1

Step 1: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/hacking-help/37717-unroot-unbrick-using-sbf-post-ikithme.html

Even though this step has unroot in the title, you're basically following it to get back to 2.01 (a must in order to root).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


Step 2: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/hacking-solutions/35617-rooted-2-1-ota.html

This step roots you and updates Android back to 2.1.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 3: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/bu...east-v0-9-awsome-features-nexusmod-works.html

This step is for reference only and demonstrates how to flash Pete's ROMs using the Sprecovery / Nandroid method. Remember to do a backup first in case something goes wrong. Note that you will have to use the Nandroid method for now as you will be updating from 2.01.


EDIT**** IF YOU FOLLOWED STEP 2 ABOVE YOU WILL NOT NEED TO USE THE NANDROID METHOD BECAUSE YOU WOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN ON 2.1. INSTEAD YOU CAN SIMPLY USE THE UPDATE ZIP METHOD.

SORRY FOR THE MIX UP

--------------------------------------------------------------------------


step 4: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/bugless/41770-rom-bugless-beast-v1-0-ese81.html

This will get you to Pete's 1.0. Notice he doesn't have any instructions as he assumes you know how to do it following the method in step 3.

EDIT*****PETE RECOMMENDS BEFORE UPDATING TO 1.0 THAT YOU WIPE THE DATA AND CACHE IF USING THE UPDATE.ZIP METHOD (USING SPRECOVERY) EVEN IF YOU ARE ON 2.1. THIS ENSURES A SMOOTHER UPGRADE. YOU CAN DOWNLOAD TITANIUM BACKUP FROM THE MARKET TO MAKE EASY BACKUPS OF YOUR DATA AND APPS BEFORE WIPING.

REMEMBER: WIPING DATA/CACHE MEANS ALL DATA IS GONE!!!!! YOUR PROGRAMS WILL REAPPEAR AFTER YOU SIGN IN TO YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT ON THE NEW ROM





ALSO PLEASE READ THROUGH THE POSTS REGARDING THESE ROMS AS NEW INFORMATION IS ALWAYS APPEARING.


Also note that there could be easier ways to accomplish this and I'd recommend still looking around places like Alldroid.org etc.

I'm willing to help as best as I can if you need it, so feel free to post any questions here.
I got a question for u kinna dum but anyways how do I wipe data and cache I thought it would of asked me when I installed the rom but it didn't. How can I do it now? (I did it the update.zip way)
You don't see that option when you boot into recovery? One of the options is wipe data/factory reset

Oh is that what it is I thought a factory reset will delete everything even the rom doesn't it?
 
Yes it wipes all data except for the sd card where the .zip file is located so you will be able to install that right after the wipe. Anything backed up or saved to the sd card will still be there.
 
Thanks a lot for all of the helpful information. I will report back tonight with my results.

Also please forgive my misunderstanding as to the misleading title and such. I was under the impression BB was at v1.1. My apologies.
 
After reading these instructions I suppose I need something a little more through. These assume you know terminology and your way around the different programs and such. I need really basic ABC instructions in order to understand what I'm doing.

Also, if BBv1 has no instructions, yet I don't need to pay attention to step 3 because 2.1 can be rooted without reverting to 2.0 -- then how am I supposed to know how to install BB? Isn't making much sense to me.
 
Ok now I'm starting to understand but I can't get the damned thing to root. I keep trying to flash the phone with RSD lite and it keeps failing. File is on C:\ and all that garbage.. very frustrating..
 
Youtube has a series of videos from droid-life.com that will walk you through flashing sprecovery and making a nandroid backup. They are very helpful and it makes it easier to understand what you are doing.
