Official Thread: Gingerbread Leak With Root! Get It Now!

So with this rooted version of GB, what roms can you use with it?

Sent from my DROIDX using DroidForums


well as of now, there's jus a couple of Roms out for the Leaked Gingerbread.
there's one from ZapX and a couple others?
...i'm pretty sure there's more Roms coming for the GB, jus keep ya head on a swival...:icon_ banana:
 
Ok I hope I can get some help, I know alot of you are pro's at this stuff so here it goes. I installed this official leaked gb, I installed it by doing a complete wipe using droid x bootstrap. It worked great for 1 day then it got really slow, I mean VERY slow. I tried to wipe it and do it again but it won't go back into recovery. I have also tried to manually go into recovery and I get a yellow ! and I was told to hit the search key but that doesn't work.
I thought it may have lost the root, so I unrooted and now z4 won't root it back.
Can anyone tell me how to get it to go into recovery or someway to restore my backup rom or my original is fine cause I think I have learned a lesson from this.

Okay buddy,

First u used DROIDX Bootstrap instead of the recommended DROID2 bootstrap to flash the leaked GB.

Secondly if encountered any problems like u just did with the performance, u had to go into factory recovery and do a factory reset...if the stock recovery doesn't work, there's a patch for the recovery where the original thread was posted..

Now at this point the only solution would be flashing a .SBF to restore ur phone back to stock Froyo....

Ok, i finnally got this running correctly and I like it. Bit, the one thingthat really bothers me is the hard key selections at the bottom of phone. They r way to bright in thesark and I would rather just have them turned off. Plus it makes it hot and I feel it while I'm holding the phone.
I'm not sure why motodoesnt give a option to turn them off!?

there is an app called adjbrightness and it lets u turn of the hard key buttons thats what i use
 
no option to install zip from SD

From system recovery, my options are:

reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition.

I did both wipes and tried the apply sdcard:update.zip option (which failed quick at first but then i renamed the dxgbrooted.zip to update.zip but then it fails for the below statement

E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.

HELP!!!

I wiped my phone and at this point I just want to get GB to work so I can restore with Titanium.

You need Droid 2 Bootstrap Recovery from the market. I believe it's $2.00.

I am having problems with the sync icon staying on my phone. I have tried to use Super Manager to go in and find the sync apk but cannot find it. Another thread on Droid-life said to wipe data/factory reset through bootstrap. All that got me was a infinate bootloop and a chance to get more familiar with sbf. Any ideas?

WooHoo!!! Finally got it figured out. Did a little searching and sure enough I found it. Your contacts should still sync through Google though. If not, there is always VZW Contact sync. Right?

I have a problem that unfortunately will force me to stay on froyo. The phone connects but there is no audio at all when using the integrated bluetooth in my 07 350z. It worked fine on froyo and the phone works fine when paired with my Jawbone headset but I would like for it to work with my cars bluetooth and such.

Any ideas? Is there anyway I could replace gingerbread bluetooth profiles and stuff with the ones from froyo?
 
I'm having so much trouble with this. I dwnlded the gb rooted (didn't jump on first leak) it starts working very good until I use titanium backup and restart my phone. I chose restore all apps w data. Then retryed w restore only missing apps w data. Both didn't work. Phone retarts about three times then two hours after restarting it works fine. Plz help!!!
