[Official] Liberty Info - PLEASE READ

[Chillout]

I'm still running 2.0.1 and I'm about ready to switch over to GB. Question since I can't seem to find the original GB thread or install instructions. If I get the liberty toolbox donate and go to the nightlies, am I able to download and install each of the GB versions there?

If so I assume I'd have to install each one .01, .02, .03, .04, .05. and now .06 one at time until I get to the latest?

Its easier than you'd think.

If your on 2.0, this is all you have to do.

1. Get LTB Donate.
2. Download and install Liberty v1. Wipe data /cache (If you are using DX Bootstrap, have USB Debugging unchecked. Yes DX Bootstrap DOES work on GB)
3. Wait for it to install....
4. Get LTB Donate back, and install Liberty v.6. Wiping cache isn't needed.


So you have to go from Liberty 2.0>Liberty v.1> Liberty v.6!!!

Oh nice! Thanks for the info! I wasn't looking forward to having to install/wipe/install/wipe 5 or 6 times back to back to back..LOL.

I may get on that this weekend then.

Its worth it.
I too was on Liberty 2.0.1 a few days ago, before I made the switch.
The only downside is that its more difficult to get themes onto it. And there not as many.

Hopefully within a few weeks, we might see them showing up in the toolbox.

So, even though it's recommended to be on Gingerbread 4.5.596, it's not necessary then? Any disadvantages to using your method instead of that one?

What is Liberty?

Liberty is a ROM for the Droid X and Droid 2. After installing Liberty ROM you and your device will become liberated from the lockdown Moto has placed on it. We believe you chose an Android phone because you love the ability to customize your phone. Liberty does this best from its customized & fast base, Liberty toolbox, settings, customizer, themes and much more.

=================================================

Common Questions and Errors:
(work in progress)

I have a Droid 2 Global and you guys don't seem to support me.

Yes, Liberty is only officially for the Droid 2 and Droid X. It's not that we don't like you but rather because we don't have your device to test on. Liberty would love to help get it ported better to these types of phones by working with the community though.

After moving to Liberty I installed bootstrap and now I get a blank screen. What's the deal?

Droid X bootstrap no longer works correctly on Gingerbread but Droid 2 Bootstrap works fine. Also, Liberty installs bootstrap for you! No need to reinstall it after installing the ROM.

The Liberty Customizer is pretty sweet but can I access it again?

Yes, go to Settings > Liberty Settings

WTF, Liberty Settings is force closing on me in 2.0.1. What's the deal?

You most likely installed a theme with the old Liberty Settings which doesn't support the settings fix. You can always access Liberty Settings by going into Liberty Toolbox, clicking menu button and then click on "Settings". In 2.0.1 there is actually a bug in Liberty Settings if you go through the normal settings menu so I suggest accessing it via Liberty Toolbox.

I updated to Liberty Gingerbread but now the Rom Manager doesn't show as much in Liberty Toolbox.

This is on purpose to hide things you should not install on Gingerbread.

[ldopa]

You won't. You'll need to get on the gb leak (596), then flash liberty gb from there. The latest nightly is based on the ota build so search for the tbh gb something for everyone thread.

How to go from Liberty 2.0.1 to LGB 0.8

What you'll need (google these if you don't have/can't find them):
1. z4root.1.3.0.apk
2. Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap v1.0.0.3.apk (Note the Droid 2, not Droid X.)
3. RSD Lite 4.9
4. VRZ_MB810_2.3.34_1FF_01.sbf
5. TBH's 2-part Rooted GB .596 (You'll find these here: http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/d...-everyone.html - find File Part 1 and File Part 2.)
6. Liberty GB 0.8
7. --A 100% CHARGED BATTERY.--

1. Copy the apk files, TBH zips and Liberty 0.8 to your SD card.
2. Install RSD Lite 4.9 on your PC (Windows only. If you don't have Windows, let us know.)
3. Put your phone in bootloader mode by turning it off then holding down volume down + camera button + power until you see white text on black background. (You might have to release after a few seconds and click the power button once really quickly to get the screen to come up.)
4. Connect your phone to your computer via USB.
5. Run RSD Lite 4.9.
6. Select your phone (it's the only item in the table), then select ... to choose the SBF file you downloaded, then click Start. Wait for your phone to reboot.
-- Problems: 1. If your phone doesn't show up in RSD Lite, let us know. 2. Your phone may get stuck in a boot loop. If it does, hold down the home key to get into stock recovery then wipe data/factory reset. If your phone gets to this point, the SBF was successful whether RSD Lite tells you it was or not.
7. Don't activate your phone. Press the 4 corners of the screen from the top left clockwise (bottom corners ABOVE the on-screen buttons) to skip activation.
8. Enable unknown sources in applications
9. Install and run z4 Root, should reboot your phone. If it doesn't do it yourself.
10. Install Droid 2 Bootstrap, then Bootstrap Recovery, then Reboot Recovery. Phone should reboot into clockwork mod.
11. Install Part 1 of TBH's rooted GB, then Part 2, then LGB 0.8.
12. Wipe data/factory reset.

I just rooted my DroidX using the Droid 3 Easy Root Script v7 and I was stock .605 before rooting. I was looking to install LGB, but this thread is several months since its last post. Any advice?
