[ROM] Liberty Gingerbread v0.4 - Return of the Eagle

[almostsane]

How stable is this right now? Also, can I upgrade from 2.0.1 without sbfing, or do I need to SBF to stock GB first and then flash this?

I'm on a D2, but I flashed a stock Gingerbread leak normally (simply because I didn't know any better), and was able to then wipe and flash Liberty GB without a problem. Again, I'm not on an X, so your mileage may vary.

so you just flashed the leak like you would a rom (wipe data)? After that you installed Liberty gb by wiping too? Basically you didn't have to sbf? Just asking causeI would like to go from 2.0.1 to the leaked gb then to Liberty gb without sbf.

Correct. Wiped, flashed leaked Gingerbread, wiped again, flashed GB Liberty. No problems as of yet, but I make no promises, as the inner workings of Android are still beyond me. Maybe someone who knows more about it could explain (maybe the GB Leak updated the kernal automatically)?

Anyone know how to get the v0.5 version? I have Liberty donate but I don't know if the file I download is corrupt or not but it won't install. I know it's not public released yet but just wanted to know if the right people would confirm me somehow and get me the file to install to even see if the file is corrupt or something wrong with my phone.

Thanks

This is what I get for the md5 checksum of the v0.5 with kernal:
84e084593c299841dbe59bb7d4c6e8bf

Check it against your copy.

Liberty Gingerbread v0.5

I'm not getting that md5 checksum. I get this 4C87C0476EAA316C50880D5B2ABF53C2

Starting from scratch didn't help!

 

[BOA]

OK it appears I've made progress. I'm able to install v 0.5 now. Customizing at the moment and seeing if all goes well. Thanks for everyone's help thus far.

Where's the theme picker for Liberty?

Where's the theme picker for Liberty?

Great to see you finally were able to get to v0.5.

I don't believe the toolbox has themes yet. Also, there is only a handful of themes, like Honeybread, Moldybread, Blue-haze and Blue-haze minimal.

Liberty Gingerbread v0.5

As of right now, there only appears to be two verified themes for .05. The list is here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/liberty-rom-dx/144537-theme-list-liberty-gingerbread.html
They don't appear to be showing in the Toolbox yet, even the donate one.

Hey guys - I hit some major snags trying v.05 this afternoon. I'm on the .591 rooted GB leak (no custom ROM) and downloaded the donate toolbox. I went into the ROM Manager and installed the v.05, backing up my ROM and wiping data. I booted into Liberty no problem, but then I went into the market to try and get TB, D2 bootstrapper, and the Liberty Toolbox to get rolling in full, but nothing would download from the market. I just kept getting "download unsuccessful". I couldn't open text nessages either - it would snap closed immediately after opening. Now, I'm an LPP guy - never really got down with ADW, so I made LPP my default launcher. Is that the problem? As I couldn't install bootstrap, I couldn't boot into CWM. I did a battery pull and was able to flash back to my backup of rooted GB .591.

Any ideas?

I'm seeing the same thing. Droid X previously with Liberty 1.5, downloaded the 'donate' toolbox and flashed to 0.1 GB, erasing data and backing up within the toolbox (popup that came up).

Then it booted fine and started downloading all my applications (at work on 3G...), so i went through and cancelled most of the 75 or so apps it was downloading and finally got them all finished, although some still showed up as "purchased" or "free" so i had to actually click to download.

Thats fine, I installed the couple i needed (toolbox, root explorer,...) and flashed the 0.5 rom (with the kernel update) and again clearing data and backing up, and it booted fine and started downloading everything again. I didn't stop most of them , cuz i had wifi at that point, but they again showed up as purchased/free... i believe a few installed, because i see chrome to phone and a few others, but anytime i try to download any one of them, i get the "download unsuccessful" error.

I then went back to 0.4 using CWM, and created a backup there of 0.5 (which unfortunately was the market non working one) without clearing data this time. I'm still getting unsuccessful downloads though.

Anyone else get this problem, and did you fix it?

**Update on my issue....
Saturday morning (about 24 hours after I started this whole process), I noticed downloads start to happen again. I've upgraded to 0.5 since then and other than a couple minor bugs that i've found, im not having too many issues. No idea how/why this happened, but glad its working again

I was going to try and take another crack at this, but with the new .595 leak out and an OTA reportedly coming any day now I might hold off.

Question: What was your path to this? When I open the Liberty toolbox it says that I'm on an older version of Liberty need to upgrade, saying that if I'm on Gingerbread I need to SBF back to 2.3.340 then install Liberty 2.0.1. Do I need to be on Liberty 2.0.1 before installing Liberty Gingerbread v.05? Last itme I tried going straight from GB to v.05 and it seemed fine aside from the market problem. Glad to see it sorted itself out for you, though.

I saw that notice that 2.0.1 was the latest, but I did not go to 2.0.1 before flashing 0.1.... As far as I have read, it seems if your going from froyo to gingerbread, you have to go to 0.1 first, and then go up to 0.5.

Ahhhhhh, that may have been where I messed up - I went straight to 0.5. I'll give .1 to .5 a try.

OK - so I'm sorry if I didn't read everything up til this point closely - from what I can tell, if I'm on GB 2.3.3, version 4.5.573, then I can't install this until I dial back to Froyo and then install the 4.5.588 leak? Is that right? Sorry if I'm being retarded, but that's what it looks like to me and it seems like an awful lot of work

Since you are on Gingerbread, you should be able to use the v0.1 GB version and from there flash the v0.5 WITH kernal version.

I think some people tried going from a GB leak to Liberty GB v0.5 with kernal with varying success, so try the v0.1 first.

You could always make a Nandroid backup and restore if the v0.1 didn't work.

OK - thanks for the reply. I will try 0.1 first.

I really don't want to dial all the way back, just to go forward. And the instructions for dialing back and then going up seem fairly complicated - not that I can't figure it out as I've been hacking since I bought the OG Droid Day 1, but I really screwed the pooch on the upgrade to GB and I don't have the time or patience to screw up some more!!!!
