How do I go from 2.01 to LGB 0.5??

[barski]

okay, im on gingerbread .05 now, but when i first booted it said something about customize and it needed to be download. so it started download and the phone went to sleep, i then hit the power button and the phone froze so i removed the battery and rebooted.

Now how can i get that customize thing back to redownload or use?

Thanks

Since you are on stock Froyo, you will need to:

1. Root.

Thanks for taking the time to write that out! Any idea if z4root still works, or will I have to use another method?

This is where some people do it a little differently, but both should work. BoJatey refers to booting into v0.1, but I did the following. Again, either method should work.

So the way you did it you stayed in recovery rather than booting into .1, going to recovery, and then flashing .5?

Left hard button (looks like 4 squares with one being solid), more, settings, Liberty Settings, and it's the very top item.

You might/might not have the "more" listed above, I'm using ADW...You just need to get to settings and then choose Liberty settings.

Sorry, assumed you were rooted but Z4 will work and if you want to flash both at once, go for it. Becker laid it out a little better than I did but I think you've got the idea. Good luck.

Correct, I flashed v0.1, made backup, wiped, and flashed v0.5 without rebooting between the two. I believe others have rebooted between the two without problems. I just tried to save a step. I did make a backup after flashing v0.1 in case it didn't work.

I guess one last thing that I just thought of...check to make sure you are on the .340 version of Froyo (instead of say .320). I don't know if this will be a problem but in the past, the ROMs for Froyo were based off .340.

Sorry for being so wordy.

Liberty Gingerbread v0.5

Followed instructions and the result was flawless.
Thanks!!!

Can someone point me to a good guide for getting from the latest Droid X 2.2 stock to Liberty .5, starting with the SBF ?

I'm not new to rooting/roms (I've had a rooted OG Droid for over a year), but I am new to Droid X rooting/roms.

Thanks!

You are asking the same question as the OP. Buy the donated version of Liberty toolbox from the market. Go to Rom Manager/Nightlies and download the LibGB 0.1 full install for froyo and also the 0.5 update with updated kernel. Backup your apps with TiBU. Boot into recovery with D2 Bootstrap and make a Nandroid backup. Then do a data wipe followed by a cache wipe. Last, install the 0.1 zip and reboot. If everything checks out, download D2 bootstrap and boot into recovery again. Wipe data/cache and install 0.5 with updated kernel. When you boot into 0.5 and everything looks Liberated, restore your apps and your all set. Good luck.

Thanks to all who have offered their advice as this thread was pretty much exactly what I was looking for. I currently am running Liberty 2.0.1 on Android 2.2.1. Since it seems like Verizon is about to officially release the GB update for Droid X, I would like to have my phone as prepared as possible for when the update hits. Assuming my current setup and that I follow the directions above, how difficult of a process will it be when the official GB update is released? Also, I installed the Imoseyon mod and would like to get rid of it when i move to GB so would the above directions automatically get rid of it or would I need to specifically uninstall/disable it? Thanks again.

If you're waiting for the update you may want to stay where you're at. You should get it in a week or two. In the meantime, if you want to experience GBLib you should follow Becker's instructions in this thread. He laid it out a little better than I did. I forgot rooting which is step #1. Also, he stated that you can flash both zips in one recovery session. I suggested rebooting after the first because if you have a problem you'll know which zip it came from. Feedback for the devs. Right now there are only two ways to get back to stock froyo from the GB leaks to get ready for the OTA. First is to sbf. If you're unfamiliar with how to do it, you can get info when the time comes. The second is to get on the GB .595 build. P3 is kind of paranoid about posting his links so all I can do is give one for the TBH app.

If you buy it (you'll get a download link via email), you'll find the file there. If you don't want to shell out the $2, you can find it over at mydroidworld. Still some confusion over that build which gives you time to play around. Good luck.

thanks for posting a step by step. with the nightlies first came out i tried to flash GB but my phone bricked. i've got it back up and running but without some step by steps i've been a little scared to try it again. mostly because i don't want to have to go through the long SBF process. but again, thank you for the step by step. i will be giving it another shot using your directions.



EDIT: successfully flashed liberty GB 0.5 thanks to you. your directions are the best so far. thumbs up to you sir, thank you Team Liberty and JRummy for the GB!

You are asking the same question as the OP.

Thanks and sorry for the repeat question. I'd read in several places that you need to SBF first and I'm not familiar with that process. Is that first step you mention the SBF part of the process?

EDIT: I see a Droid X Bootstrap and a Droid 2 Bootstrap on the market. But you're suggesting I use the D2 bootstrap?

No, BoJatey is not referring to SBF'ing. You should only need to do that in 2 situations: 1) if you are on Gingerbread, but want to go back to Froyo (you can't restore your Froyo Nandroid backup once you are on Gingerbread) or 2) the install process gets severely screwed up (somehow) where you can't get back into Bootstrap.

Since you are on stock Froyo, you will need to:

1. Root.
2. Download Liberty Toolbox Donate (easiest way to get to v0.5).
3. Download Droid 2 Bootstrap (personally, I already had the Droid X Bootstrap and I'm not sure if you could use Droid 2 Bootstrap with Froyo but maybe start here). The reason BoJatey mentioned Droid 2 Bootstrap is because once you get to Gingerbread, the Droid X Bootstrap no longer works.
4. Download Liberty Gingerbread v0.1 Full Install (the one noted for Froyo users).
5. Download Liberty Gingerbread v0.5 WITH kernal
6. Reboot into Bootstrap.
7. Make Nandroid backup.
8. Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik (under advanced)
9. Flash v0.1

This is where some people do it a little differently, but both should work. BoJatey refers to booting into v0.1, but I did the following. Again, either method should work.

10. Make Nandroid backup (which is now Gingerbread v0.1)
11. Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik
12. Flash v0.5
13. Reboot.

Enjoy Gingerbread! How this works out for you.

Thanks very much for the reply. I'm still a bit confused but you have certainly cleared things up from where I started. So, let's say I make the jump to GBLib (eithjer via donate toolbox or other method) and I update to .5, what would I have to do when Verizon officially releases the GB OTA? I guess I'm trying to figure out the difference in upgrading to official GB between being where I currently am (Lib 2.0.1 on froyo) and if I were on GBLib .5. Thanks again.

I'm not 100% sure about this one, but the surest way to get an official OTA is to SBF back to stock Froyo. My understanding is that even if you are on a Froyo ROM (Liberty 2.01), you won't get an official OTA.

I'm under the impression that a developer (jrummy - Liberty) will make another ROM update when the official comes out which might be a simple update from his existing GB ROM release.

I thought it was awesome the way he made it a single step to go from Froyo to GB.

You can always wait, the OTA is speculated to be very soon.

Bojatey (or anyone knowledgeable I guess),
I would have thought between the .1 install and the .5 install that you'd need to run the Droid 2 Bootstrap, which is why the other guy (I think) booted up between the installs. At which point did you run the Droid 2 bootstrap since the Droid X bootstrap doesn't work on GB?

Or did you run the bootstrap while still on Froyo? (though you questioned if it would work on Froyo).

Just wondering as it seems this step is missing.

 

[fox_dye]

If you have the droid x bootstrap there is no need to buy the droid 2 bootstrap. Just go into applications/ development and uncheck usb debugging. Then the DX bootstrap works fine and if you have the liberty donate version the bootstrap is included in the toolbox.

[beckerfj]

Yes, Liberty Toolbox has bootstrap built in so if you boot after v0.1, just use this.

I made a Nandroid backup after flashing v0.1 so if something failed I could fall back on it, tried flashing v0.5 without booting and worked perfect for me.

Either way should be fine.

Liberty Gingerbread v0.5

 

[bkendrick]

So you guys are saying flash
.01 and .05(kernal) in the same bootstrap session? Thinking of flashing GB tonight. I was going to wait but I'm jealous of what I'm seeing!
