Installing ROM’s at Droid X

7 Replies

This guide may apply for many other Android devices, but with different bootloaders. In this guide I will explain how to install the ROMs (without buying ROM Manager). First of all, you need to know if you are running Froyo or Gingerbread with Froyo Kernel or pure Gingerbread.

First of all, download ROM Manager (free version) and flash the recovery, selecting Droid X if you are running pure Froyo, if you are using Gingerbread use Droid2 Bootstrap, if you are running Cyanogenmod or MIUI (why are you reading this in first place?) select Droid X (2nd-init).

Then download the desired ROM to the sd-card of your phone.

MIUI 1.9.9 | Direct Download | Forum (for newer versions)
CyanogenMod7 Nightlies | Nightlies List
Liquid Gingerbread 08.06.11 | Direct Download | Forum (for newer versions)
ApeX 2.0.0 RC3 | Direct Download | Forum (for newer versions)
There are many more, check rootzwiki.com to know about them!

The problem of installing the ROMs in this way is that you need to manually update them (and check the forums often if there are updates). Open ROM Manager, and click on Install ROM from SD Card, select the zip of the ROM you are going to install – select data/cache wipe if is your first time moving to Gingerbread, if is just an update rom ROM v1.1 to V1.2 probably doesn’t need that (but it may! check the forums).

I personally use MIUI because it goes fast, totally renewed UI, and great battery life! :)

Setting up an Android environment at OS X

Leave a reply

Hello, in this post I will explain how to setup an Android environment for developing-fun-curiosity-whateveryouwant at Mac OS X, with is quite VERY simple. This guide should work on the same in Windows and Linux but I am not sure.

By first you need to download the Android SDK for your platform: Mac OS X - Linux – Windows. (September 10, for newest click here)

After that you need to open the ‘tools’ executable (from the console) — this is only for OS X or Linux (not sure how at Windows). Then you get a window titled ‘Android SDK and AVD Manager‘.

Go to ‘Available packages’ to select the Android environment you will be using at Android Repository  (Froyo 2.2, Gingerbread 2.3.3, Honeycomb 3.2, w/e). At this very same tab you can also install (at Third party Add-Ons) the Google APIs alike Maps and Admob.

Now that you downloaded the environment that you desire, go to ‘Virtual Devices‘ tab, click on “New” button and proceed to assign a name to the device, which OS you will use, CPU/ABI, etc… then “Create AVD“. Now you are done! Just click Start while you have the desired device selected with blue :) .

Enjoy! — Today is the SuperHappyDevHouse at Xalapa, Mexico. We will be here about 12 hours of programming/learning/geek stuff – I am doing guides for this site, this is the first one. More to come!.

Para proseguir con esta guia necesitas que tu celular este en el Froyo de Verizon (metiendole el SBF como lo indico en esta guia), tener el equipo con el bootstrap del Droid2 (NO EL DEL DROID X).

Primero que nada, pones el celular en modo de dispositivo de almacenamiento masivo, y le metes estos dos archivos (que son el GB oficial de Verizon)

Verizon Gingerbread – Parte 1  (Mirror 1)
md5sum: e5c5bb50cb8dfacb1c9d44df1f928297
101.3 MB (106262120 bytes)

Verizon Gingerbread – Parte 2  (Mirror 1)
md5sum: 87f8bd81e2d6520e9485c6a2c7b8b68f
file size: 12.9 MB (13533109 bytes)

Y este otro, que es el baseband de Iusacell (Mirror 1)

Reinicias en modo clockwork (con el bootstrap) y haces primero que nada un “wipe data/cache”. Le das donde dice “Install zip from sdcard” e instalas los 2 zip del Gingerbread de Verizon, despues, de nuevo haces el “wipe data/cache”, y SIN INICIAR EL TELEFONO, te vas a “Install zip from sdcard” de nuevo e instalas el baseband de Iusacell.

Reincias el telefono, y deberias de tener el Gingerbread funcionando. En caso de que no tengas linea, hago mencion de lo explicado en la guia anterior:

Al saltarte esa ventana, NECESITARAS el SPC de tu linea (te lo deben de dar en las lineas telefonicas o en el chat de Iusacell), ya con este dato llamaras a ##7764726 y escribiras “000000″ y entraras a “03 NAM extendido” donde iras hasta la parte de abajo donde editas el “SPC”, reemplaza el “000000″ con el numero que te dieron los de Iusacell aprieta el boton de “Listo” y al salir tu telefono se reiniciara. Al encender llama a el *228 y activa tu celular con la opcion 1 – 2 – 1 si es con plan, y con la opcion 1 – 3 si es prepago. Tu telefono ya debera tener linea y 3G en este momento (en caso de que lo tengas contratado). En caso de que no (que no creo que suceda), vuelve a marcar a el *228 y y ve a la opcion 1 – *1 te pedira la version de PRL que quieres descargar, trata con 350, 370 y 238 hasta que te funcione.

Gracias a Jamoncillo por explicar como hacerlo en los comentarios del post anterior, espero y poniendolo aqui mas gente pueda verlo.
