I rooted my droid x and upgraded to 2.2. it's been great so far. I decided to try FlyX, downloaded it through rom manager, included swype, checked BOTH boxes (clear cache/backup) but when it reboots it stays at the first splash screen with the silver circle/moto emblem. Do I need to reinstall clockworkmod? thanks guys.
Problem solved. I installed the droidx bootstrap out of the market and i'm back in order. admin feel free to delete the thread.

So is there a on click root for 2.2 yet? I have the leak on my motorola droid. I want to root without doing all that extra stuff and have a recovery image so that I can flash different roms.
afaik there is no easy root or on click method to root 2.2. I don't believe there is even one in the works. Rooting the manual way is honestly very simple, just read the full guide before you start and its pretty fool proof.

Thanks! could you post a link to the directions for rooting motorola droid 2.2?
Man I'm at the shop and can't remember which guide i used. Just get on droidforums or any number of the big android forums and search they all have guides. If you still need it when i get home tonight I'll find one, but they're easy to find

After step 22, download Rom Manager. Open it, and the first line is to flash Clockwork recovery. Do this. Then create a backup of your phone from the Rom Manager app. After this, browse the available roms, and pick one to flash. Simple as that. I would advise to download your first rom without any themes. You can theme it later, and sometimes there are issues with rom manager not loading everything in the proper sequence. I would also suggest not going above 1ghz for the kernel of your first rom. Just get something good and stable, and once its on there and loaded how you like, fix permissions with Rom Manager and reboot. Back THAT rom up, and then experiment with kernels and themes.
Once you have a good backup to return to if things go bad, you can try hot-swapping roms (no data wipe) and if things don't pan out, just reinstall backup and start over. Simple. You'll be flashing several times a day in no time.
I personally recommend Sapphire from the CVPS folder in Rom Manager. In settings, you can select Gem Settings, and there are options for overclocking customizing colors, equalizer, etc. If you do the paid version of Rom Manager, you can go into Bgills folder and get his Sapphire themes. My current fave is Incognito. This is an option when you first grab Sapphire rom, but like I said, there are issues with it loading out of sequence, and causing the dialer to force-close in a loop.
Actually, universal androot, I believe has actually rooted up to and including frgg2d, or whatever the latest froyo build is, hope this helps.
I have a HTC Hero (Sprint) that I rooted and all was fine. I downloaded a font changer app and used it once and it worked. When I went to change the font again I got the white screen with "HTC" on it and it was frozen. I tried to restore using Nandroid but then the startup screen keeps rebooting. It will do the animation and then start over and over. I tried to do a factory reset but nothing. Can I salvage my Hero? I am pretty new rooting. I used Z4root to do it.
Remove the battery, put it back in, hold down the home button while booting up and see if you can get to recovery. Once in recovery, wipe cache/dalvik cache and reboot. If it does not work, you may need to reflash your ROM after a full wipe.
I can get into recovery and i went ahead and wiped cache but still having the issue with it looping the start up screen. How do I reflash my ROM. Sorry I am still new to this.
What ROM were you using...?
I had the phone running the 2.1 ROM from Sprint. All I have done to the phone is root it, installed ROM Manager and Titanium Backup, and deleted the Nascar app. I haven't installed a custom ROM or anything
Install this custom ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755795

Oh ok, then... it's pretty simple. Download the RUU (HTC or links provided on the wiki and run it from your computer. You will have to re-root it, as once you run the RUU, the phone will be reset to how it was when you got it from Sprint. The easiest to root, as per me, was the .5 version... you can find the links on the wiki.
Thank you I will try and let you know how it goes. I hope it works or my wife is going to kill me since I got my Hero 6 months ago...

I'd recommend this after he tries the custom ROM if it doesn't work, because he has recovery access
At least the way I suggested he keeps root since CM6 is already rooted
I tried to run "RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_1.29.651.1_signed_release" but I got a bootloader error. Do I need to try a different RUU?
I am downloading the 2.1 update from HTC to see if that one works, if not I think I will try CraigCraig suggestion.
I was able to get the 2.1 HTC update to work...i am back to being stock. Thank you for all the help and in the future i'll reroot and get a custom ROM. You guys are awesome
Glad that it is working fine... Enjoy! Reroot and use a custom ROM - CM highly recommended . You will love how the phone responds...
so i have a rooted droid, running frg83g 2.2 update from verizon
rooted using super one click and all went smooth, i can use wifi tether and setcpu just fine
i am not attempting to flash CWM to give my droid some cyan love... and every time i attempt flash CWM it force closes rom manager...
any ideas
I think Milestone is not able to run CWM.
i actually got it to work... surprisning what a simple reboot can do
i just had to think back to the mytouch days... its exactly the same as the hero and such..
I just flashed Steel Droid 7.1.1 Gingerbread on my Droid today, from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098483
I did the install using ClockworkMod v2.5.0.1, and included all of the optional .zip files included on the above thread.
The Droid will boot into the ROM, but it will proceed to reboot in 1 minute.
I wiped all data and cache using ClockworkMod prior to installing the ROM. I've also wiped data and cache and rebooted, but still get the same, strange behavior.
I'm currently reverting to a backup with nandroid, but I'd really like to get Steel Droid working if possible.
Any suggestions on how to get this going? Anyone else have problems with the Steel Droid 7.1.1 on the G1 Droid?
[Update] I've successfully flashed the latest Cyanomod such that the Droid does not suffer from the reboot problem. It was version 7.0.3 from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version#Motorola_Droid
Thus the issue seems likely to be specific to Steel Droid 7.1.1.
I've been running this ROM for a while and like it....reminds me of UD...wonder why ?? I use RZRecovery and flashed just the rom and have had good luck so far....
My D1 likes froyo better..... yours might also....

That's the funny thing. With Cyanomod 7.03 I'm running Gingerbread and it's very happy, so I don't think it's a Froyo/Gingerbread problem.
Is there a difference between flashing with RZRecovery and ClockworkMod?
yeah, You'll like RZ much better.... Fast and easy to navigate
you can always go back.....
I am currently running the .905 update (rooted) system version on phone. I noticed yesterday that my swype would no longer display the keyboard. Due to the fact that I have been having a few other issues recently, I wiped the phone and using the path saver software, I installed the stock .902 Verizon software and afterwards, applied the .905 update so I assume, I am back to stock at that point ?
Now, when I try and use Swype, I get the force close message saying it could not start. I followed the instructions on another page that provided instructions on "[How To] Successfully Install Swype - Root Required ", but that did not fix it either. Can someone please help ? I feel naked without my swype
Thanks,
no ideas ??
Go into manage applications, and clear data on Swype, then try to pull up the keyboard.
Or, completely remove Swype and install via beta.Swype.com
