On ur SD root shud have openrecovery folder,openrecovery.zip n update.zip..then u can run open recovery. Apk

openrecovery.zip i don't have hmm, where to get it? or u mean the androidriani zip that i downloaded from the website shud be put into the root of my sd card also instead of extracting the androidriani folder and update.zip?

1st apply this open recovery 1.46 http://modmymobile.com/forums/563-motorola...-21-2010-a.html
then u can replace openrecovery folder and update.zip on sd from open recovery 3.3 androidriani..now u shud boot to andriodriani menu open recovery..

allright thks, one thing? do i need the vulnerable recovery or sbf before installing this?

yes ...

pardon my noobness lol. how do i install the sbf ah?the tutorial only tell what the functions of sbf..

u need to flash the sbf using rsd lite...

i am now using G.O.T v2.01 and doing backup using new version nandroid backup. After this i can install custom rom?

Sure can...get amy compatible rom then go into recovery menu...run d zip file

ok thks

I faced some problem of stucked at android booting logo, end up i re flash to stock rom 2.1 back. Now i reapply the vulnerable sbf and G.O.T openrecovery 2.01. I did backup of my stock rom first before doing anything. After that, i rooted it. So far no problem.

Now the questions:
1. Can i test the backup whether it is working fine?
2. The correct step to wipe and install custom rom. The guide i read out there especially the xdadevs is still hard for a noob like me lol.
3. Where is the backup of rom located? I wanted to save the backup rom to my computer
4. Can i directly flash to cronos gingerbread rom from stock 2.1 and how to flash it properly. It is the flashing process same for every custom roms?

Thanks and sorry if i asked too much lol. Hope u guys can help me.

anyone can help answer?

Has Motorola cancelled the official upgrade to 2.2 or is it still "postponed" ?

oh me GOD!

we r oredi on froyo lad,, eventhoug it kinda of a stale, basi froyo

laggy froyo from moto, use moto update manager (desktop) to update

anyone?

I've been too busy enjoying the phone and missed it ?!?!

Hey, the Update manager says product not supported. I remember using this to update to 2.1

Next trying via http://192.168.16.2:8080 which at least opens to give a choice for UK 2.2, downloading.

Dunno why, I had to re-install Moto SW Update and re-register.

Whole thing took a long while but OK DONE, 2.2.1 !

I must be the last one in the neighbourhood to do this. When was this first available?

ur milestone AP?

i think it was late febuary / march

remember to hard reset hp, wipe cache

OIC, I was traveling a lot then. Yup AP.

It is now working fine without reset. Is it necessary, won't it wipe out all apps and stored data?

can anyone help, im stuck at this step

Ok now turn off your phone again. Now press camera button and then press the power button. Hold then both until you see the recovery screen (takes about 6-7 seconds). It will be small phone symbol with ! logo on top.

I can't get this to work keeps booting up android instead.

edit:

FIXED BY pressing 'x' + power button instead.

After getting the 2.2 and moving everything to SD, now home screens a bit laggy or even hang a while. Is there something I shouldn't have moved to SD? Or have I just loaded too many apps into the phone?

i try as per my understanding

1-yes. you can try anytime nandroid restore and you will get same like before flashing any ROM
2- a)boot into recovery.
b)wipe dalvik , wipe cache,factory reset(if change different type of ROM)
c)update ROM / restore nandroid
d)reboot
3-/sdcard/nandroid/openrecovery/OR**/.md5 and .img. -> just copy this folder to PC
4-i can jump from any ROM to any ROM without problem even ginger to froyo and vice versa. i use Androidiani OpenRecovery.
