Hey everyone I have been searching all over and found nothing so I figured someone here may have the answer.
I've been looking for an updated but stock rom for the revolution only with added root. I'm wanting to start a little developing but I definitely want to start from stock (plus root). Anyone have an idea where I could find it
Only the orig shipping ROM has root, no one has found an exploit on the update... =\

Re-homed 1.1 ROM for intents and purposes is an updated stock ROM.
If you would like i could post the update zip for you that will give
you a fully stock zv6 minus the boot.img and radio. Just start from a rooted w/cwm zv4 and flash the zip in cwm. Just let me know if you want it!

I have an unlocked, nonrooted AT&T/Rogera N1 running stock froyo (frf91). I am very interested in rooting and flashing CM6 and trying out other custom roms, but if I want to get back to stock froyo, how do I do it?
Keep in mind that I'm a newbie, and yes I've searched the forums but I haven't seen this specific question asked.
Any help is appreciated, since I'm still learning. Thanks.

Yes, once you're rooted you can switch to any ROM you want with ease, even stock should you wish.

You can even use the ROM Manager application included with CM6 to automagically download and flash stock images. You know, if you wanted to.
Thanks for the help guys!

Hey Guys,
I was just wondering if there was anything that could take me from the unoffical release of froyo 2.2 to the updated version in one quick install file or something of that sort...I dont wana loose all my custom settings ):
I am wondering the same thing...I initially installed the Leaked 2.2 and rooted it. Now, I am just very confused about installing the 2.2 ota. What would be the easiest path updating to the Official 2.2.
OTA rooted 2.2 to a deodexed version of 2.2.
Hope this isn't off subject . How can I update the official OTA 2.2 to a deodexed version. I am rooted but new to the X. The X is a bit more work and somewhat scary to mess with due to worry of bricking the phone. I have an Incredible that I work on but my wife has the X soooo I need to learn more about it to take advantage of its full potential. Thanks for any help. XDA development is the best and just wanted to say thanks to everyone for your time and hard work.

I am new to LG Revolution (trying to install custom ROM on sister's phone). I am coming from 2 different Samsung devices.
I have VZ6, 2.2.2, rooted. Windows 7 64
Here are my questions:
1) Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1121952
CWM download link gave me a "recovery-cwm-pr1.tar.gz", so I extracted it with 7-zip and get a "recovery-cwm-pr1.tar". How do I get the .img file??
2) What exactly is ADB shell? Where do I find instruction on that?
I assumed installation of Revolt 1.5 is straight forward after I get CWM on the phone. I am just having a hard time to follow those instructions on CWM tho.
Heya,
I'm no professional at all of this, but I'd recommend downloading the revotoolkit. i;ve not used it on vz6, but that is how most of us went about getting cwm. believe there is a thread about it in development (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144951).
hope that helps you
I would get the GB update. Then root with using the post in development by mtmichealson. Then flash Gingervolt.
is the Gingervolt mature?? this is my sister's phone, so I am not going to flash it every week when there is a patch or update... I highly doubt my sister (technologically challenged) will appreciate Gingerbread anyways.
Gingervolt was just released so there will be more releases soon.
If she wouldn't appreciate it just get stock gingerbread on and leave it at that
Edit: not to take anything away from any the developers here don't take it that way please.

Thanks for the tip. Installed without sweat.
Nice to see people are still working on new ROM on this phone. All devs on Droid Charge have moved to Bionic and left us in the cold.

Thankfully we have dedicated people here, who get excited about the little breakthroughs on this phone. The phone is great, the hardware is fast and responsive, the programming (from what I hear) is a disaster. All the Roms I have tested have been stableish on this phone, a couple force closes here and there, but nothing too intrusive. Gingerbread is perfect, and the Gingervolt from Mtmichaelson is stellar, no hangups, no force closes yet. I would expect themes to roll out soon, and some more stable Roms. I would assume the dream of CM7 is on the horizon now.
In agreement with Haro's comment, you will find that we will not simply give up on this phone, we have been through too much.
No worries, glad I could help. Props to thecubed for that one of course

Thanks for all the info guys from my thread I started about me getting a Droid Bionic. Sorry for just now responding but what I've find is I have CWM installed and I'm on Liberty, I'm wanting to try Eclipse real bad though, so would it be safe to just wipe data/dalvik/cache then flash it? Or I've had thoughts that I should've done the safestrap but also I've thought about trying the .901 update, since I'm new with the bionic I'm really nervous about bricking it or messing something else up. Also when I was on stock I was on .893 and then once I flashed Liberty it now says .886, would this make a difference? Thanks for all your help everyone on the forum, I appreciate it!
My suggestion is to make a nandroid backup. Flash completely to stock using the Moto tool. Root and 4ever root. Update to .901. Then Safestrap.
I recently just started using Safestrap and it is nice to know that if you fubar up an android flash and then need to run somewhere, you can always get back to stock.
Yes! Someone else says fubar!
Back on topic, so make a nandroid while I'm on Liberty?
Going to .901 makes me a little nervous because I don't want to mess anything up and I'm also confused on using safestrap but I feel like it would be really nice to have. Is the Moto tool on the forums here to go back to stock?
Thanks for the info man.
One problem I had when going from liberty to eclipse is that I wasn't getting 4g with eclipse. I used safestrap so I could go back to liberty.

So would you recommend I go back to stock then go from there? If so how would you think I should go back to stock?
I never updated to. 901 because I've never really had any problems with my bionic so I'm not right person to answer anything about that. I'm trying to wait until Motorola releases ICS before I do anything else major. Sorry I'm not able to help.

Eclipse does have an. 893 rom if you don't want to make the jump to. 901.
Although most of the newer and future eclipse themes will be for v2.1 which is their. 901 rom.

I posted these questions earlier in the Q+A section and figure this is a better place for them.....
So I've got my 4th Bionic en route due to pesky data connection issues and no GPS. I'm wondering if I should flash the .232 ICS build. A couple questions arise if I may:
- Is it easily rootable? Running .905 stock root presently on my old Bionic. New one I'm sure will have .905 obviously stock and unmessed with.
- Does installing a leaked version make it any more difficult to install the official version at its release? I'm thinking it would be a good opportunity to work bugs out of pertinent apps and familiarize myself with the new version.
- Should I root the .905 before flashing the ICS? Does that matter? I'm thinking it'd be lost anyways on the flash up. And the root of the external (not sdcard, sdcard-ext) SD I'm assuming is where I place the leaked ICS file?
I love these forums as they minimize the knowledge gap between people like me and experts!

From everything I hear, .232 should fix your data connection. It is quite easy to update to it, you just have to put the proper update file onto your external sd card and boot into stock recovery and install it. It is also very easy to root, assuming you have access to a computer running windows. The utility to root it is called razrs_edge and is easy enough to find and download. You will lose root on the upgrade, so it's probably just as easy to wait until after the update to root it. There is also a utility available which will let you downgrade to .905 and apply the new update without losing your data when the time comes for the official update. That can be found here http://www.droidforums.net/forum/motorola-droid-bionic/214902-downgrade-902-no-app-data-loss.html Actually, that utility can probably used to upgrade and root the phone even if you're starting on .905. Also, .232 is probably your best bet right now, as .235 is built so you can't go back to anything before it properly.
Good luck!
What about the update to the official release? Would I just be able to OTA to that, providing I defrost any bloat apps Verizon so kindly includes?
And one more quick one. Can I do that flash to .232 right now on my stock, partially frozen and rooted .905 rom without losing any apps or data? Sounds way too good to be true to me!
Thanks for your time too, dude. Totally got it!

You can't directly update to the OTA, but that's what the utility which I linked in my previous reply is for. It will let you temporarily downgrade to .905 and allow you to apply the OTA. The person who maintains it does a really good job and keeps it up to date with all the new files when they're released.
You're the man dude thanks!

If you've got an account on droidforums, make sure to thank Samuri_HL, he's the one who makes things so easy to use.
OK so I've one more question. If I wanted to install it now on my bionic with the stock rooted .905, can I just download the ICS update and install while preserving apps+data?

As long as you're stock, the upgrade should work fine and shouldn't affect your apps+data. You will lose root (I believe) and need to re-root afterwards though.
One more question.....
OK, so I've managed to get .232 up and running. I haven't rooted it, and truly don't see the point at least at this point because I can just disable the VZ apps that I don't need (namely, all of them.) So, now that I'm on this build, let's say they release the final version tomorrow...what is going to need to happen to update to the final version? I've truly scoured through all of these forums and can't quite figure it out. Will it just be as simple as the .232 flash? I mean is it worth going to .235 on my en route Bionic and loading all of my apps and investing the hours required in getting it perfect? Or will it all just be one waste of time? I know that the final release will be an OTA, so I'm assuming that .905 will need to be in the mix at some point hence the confusion....
Kudos to all who care to help thee noobs around here!!!

You will need to flash the .905 fxz file in order to receive the OTA. There are a couple ways of doing that. The most failsafe way would be to do it using RSD Lite, however that will wipe all of your data and basically return your phone to a like-new state. The other main way is to use SamuriHL's House of Bionic program/script. It uses a modified version of the fxz file that will not wipe your data. You can use it to return to .905 and install the OTA in the normal way, by checking for updates and letting it install once it is available. You can also use it if you download the OTA when it is released and basically do it the same way you updated to .232. When the OTA is released, I'm sure he'll put together a new version of HoB that includes it, so that the whole process is fairly well automated. There's no saying when exactly the OTA will be ready, but for now just enjoy your ice cream sandwich.
When I mention that it will not wipe your data, that means that all of your apps and whatnot will remain intact. In any case, I don't recommend updating to .235, I have it and can't tell much difference between that and the .232 leak, and the .232 leak has a safe route back to stock, whereas .235 doesn't, so it's definitely not worth the risk. If you're happy with it without rooting, then by all means keep it that way, rooting means it's just easier to mess things up.
