Hey everyone,
I recently rooted my moto droid and was wondering now that I have done this can I drop 1.5 or any other OS on there that I choose? Also, if that is possible can someone post a link or tell me how to go about doing this. That being said, I was also wondering if there is a way to easily switch between android versions for development.
Thanks for your time and help,
Tommy
Here is a link to droidforums. It has links to most rooted Tom's for Droid.

You can also try other sites like alldroid.org, phandroid. The developers site which is "xda" and "sdx". There are many others so just search around they all have forums for different devices for this information. One of the most helpful I've found for noobs was unlocked.com. give it a try.

Look-up RomManager in the marketplace if you will be moving between versions alot, it handles these changes very well.
As to going to previous versions I can not say for sure. In theory yes but you will ether have to find a pre-made Droid rom or build it yourself.
Thanks!
Thank you both for the replies and information. I will continue my research and see what I can dig up. Hopefully I can find a 1.5 rom as building it myself is a little out of my ability right now.
Yes rom manager would be a good idea forgot to mention it. It works great for switching roms I just have a little problem with mount sdcard in clockworkmod recovery so mine will reboot after entering recovery and rom manager doesn't help some times but it seems to work great for most devices. My problem is I have to reformat sdcard because I came from Eris and I don't want to till I can get a computer to backup info on it.

I recently updated my phone to 902 and lost root. I was trying to find a good link to pathsaver so I could revert my phone and reroot. I is killing me because Dhacker29 just release and Alpha 902 of ICS working with 3g and LTE. I am excited but cannot install safestrap because I lost root ;(. If someone can PLEASE provide me a good link to Pathsaver. I have checked all threads and forums and yet to find one. Thanks
Leroy
did you ever find one i am on 902 as well looking for it never rooted my bionic so i need this too!! someone please help i am going through ics withdrawls!!!
Goto my droid world. Might have to search through the pathsaver forum to find active links, but they are in there

Look for this the topic "[script] safe bionic path saver + .901 + liberty3 2.0 - version 2". It's here on xda in android development and hacking/ android software and hacking general. Sorry I can't post the link because I'm using the xda app. This thread works. I just finished using the path finder.

Just logged in on my computer so I could give you the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1450836&page=7
i don't see it under that is it like the last page or what??
yeah, that's the last page. Sorry about that.
thanks dude so could you tell me i run this pathsaver batt file i think it is runs scripts and then i flash the 896 i think it is then flash 901 there after is this correct ?? watched the video a while back but forgot exactly i suppose i could watch it again but my sound don't work at the moment..
You also have to use RSDLite 5.5 to flash an xml file.
Hopefull I posted the link around enough so if anyone else needs it, they don't have the same problem finding it. I understand looking for something before asking, but they could have put it somewhere that we would search. I had to find it through Google, not an XDA search.
yeah i installed rsd i am basically trying to be able flash the ics ???
Hope everything goes well for you.
trying to root my recently updated bionic and seem to be running into trouble where guides are concerned, i was pretty good at rooting and flashing my eris left and right but when i got my bionic some time ago it was such a new phone i didnt see the point in rooting it right away. Now the time has come where im eager to unlock the phones most valuable features and i cannot for the life of me find a guide concerning bionics that have been recently updated by verizon. if anyone at all can post a link where i can find one of these mythical guides or post one telling me how to get my phone to a version that is rootable i would be extremely appreciative.
It's right there in the General section.

(ATRIX HD) <FIX!> Cant Update To Jellybean Because Of Customization <FIX!> AT&T Only!
Code:
AT&T ATRIX HD ONLY!!! AT&T ATRIX HD ONLY!!! AT&T ATRIX HD ONLY!!! AT&T ATRIX HD ONLY!!! AT&T ATRIX HD ONLY!!! AT&T
Update: uploading finished
Note: The ATRIX HD UTILITY 1.00 is illegal
Hey all!
If you've modified your system partition chances are you can not update to jellybean. Thankfully there is a quick fix.
First of all make sure your on the latest revision of Ice Cream Sandwich for your device (if you go to SETTINGS>ABOUT>SYSTEM UPDATES. You should see a 4.1.1 update; if it says that there is a 4.0.4 update then this tutorial is not for you. However if this is not for you, chances are I can get it to work soon.)
Basically what this tutorial will do is re-install Stock Firmware so that you are eligible for the Jellybean Update! Its quick and easy.
(1. Download this package:
firmware: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/dinara/7.7.1Q-144_MB886_MR1-22_SIGNED_CFC.xml.zip
xml: http://www.mediafire.com/view/?l4l81nxc49utk1y
RSD: http://www.mediafire.com/?yw9dh89jtqii71e
(firmware, xml and RSD LITE)
(2. Extract all archives to desktop place the separate xml file in with all firmware files this means: (put xml in with firmware files overwritting the xml it came with.)
(3. Turn Device Off
(4. Hold Volume + ; Hold Volume - ; Hold Power (ALL AT ONCE)
(5. You should now be in the boot-loader menu; QUICKLY use ONLY VOLUME DOWN! to scroll down to APFastboot, THEN PRES VOLUME UP!
(6. Plug device in (VIA USB) to computer.
(7. Install RSD Lite 6.1.4
(8. Open up RSD Lite 6.1.4
(9. Click (...) load / select the file you extracted (open 7.7.1Q-144_MB886_MR1-22_SIGNED_CFC.xml ; found in folder Firmware 4.0.4 in the folder you extracted.
(10. Press "Start" Be patient may take multiple tries
(11. After successful when device is restored go to Settings>About>System Updates>Download and Install Jellybean Update (may take up to 20 minutes to install be patient! Everything will be okay!)
(12. Enjoy your Jelly-beaned Atrix HD
REPLY OR POST NEW FOR Q/A / HELP
IF YOU DECIDE TO GIVE UP YOU MAY AUTOMATICALLY BOOT IN THIS BOOT MENU, JUST REPEAT STEP 4, THEN PRESS VOLUME UP!
***DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BRICKS YOU CAUSE BY NOT FOLLOWING MY INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. IF YOU FOLLOW MY DIRECTIONS FULLY THERE IS A 0% CHANCE YOU WILL BRICK. NOT ALL DEVICES ARE FULL REPAIRABLE, BUT SOME ARE YOU WILL RARELY EVER BRICK YOUR DEVICE FULLY, IF YOU HAVE NOT UNLOCKED YOUR BOOTLOADER THEN YOU CAN SEND YOUR DEVICE OUT FOR REPAIR. IF YOU HAVE YOU CAN POST A THREAD ON YOUR ISSUE AND WE AS A COMMUNITY WILL DO OUR BEST TO HELP YOU! OR YOU CAN PM ME!***

I know there are other options but this is way more safe, this is Motorola official vs. a third party app.
BTW: That third party app is distributing Motorola's software without any citing what so ever: that is straight up illegal!
I don't own any of the firmware / xml / or the program. All the credit goes to motorola

Yes, if you've deleted some system files and it's causing your OTA to fail, reflashing your firmware will let the OTA install properly. I'm not sure why you're getting so excited?

Its a common issue I helped someone with the yesterday, so I put it up for everyone to see
Im helping people that went by the other tutorial to just restore system apps, because that is not the proper way to restore it all and get jellybean chances are it will fail again. Plus this isn't really exciting Im just helping so i can post more threads, to be able to post on the development thread which I've just obtained the ability

Just a quick reminder, this shouldn't be your reason for posting more threads. Posting threads for the sake of posting threads is known as spamming and in most cases results in posts/threads being deleted and you having to start back from 0. Take this as a friendly reminder to anyone thinking of doing this as we're all meant to be here to help each other and share a common interest.
Thanks

Can you?
The atrix hd utility was made for this sole purpose, and does this all in with one button.
Yeah, but where are the steps for using it???
Maybe im the only one on here never flashed before, using rsd or all in one...but this thread is really helpful at moment for me and other noobs..
There are so much other freds with less information here...pls let the thread open...ok?
The app was edited and doesn't work if your just now downloading it someone needs to re-upload I'm spreading this around. If you don't like this thread then leave, its really that simple. Obviously I'm not doing this for no reason I already got two thanks on it after about an hour, chill out.

Can't knock someone for trying to help. This is what the Atrix HD threads need more of! I've actually been kinda frustrated with the lack of details. It's just been expected that people know how to do things when not every one does... Thanks OP!
Jelly Beaned up on the mAtrix HD
Someone is actually on an acceptable level of intellect, thank you.

Hi guys ...
my phone is htc desire hd .. android version 2.3.5 and htc sense version is 3.0
i want to update my sense to 4.0 .. what can i do please learn me how i'm afraid if i make something wrong and lose something in my phone
Never attempt anything on your phone if your not sure. It took me several weeks of reading and searching before I even tried to root my phone. I would suggest you do the same. This is a forum to help each other but no one will take you by the hand and walk you thru it. You have to do the research and learn as you go along to see the errors and ideas our members have come up with.
Good luck and enjoy the learning.

Google unlocking boot loader for your device or rooting your device would be your first search. It should give you the xda development forum for that. Make sure its for your DesireHD not any other device.
There is also an awesome button up top called search. Get the feel of it, it will be your new best friend. Cause from your response above it seems you Want us to do the search for you and that won't happen unless someone has it in their favorites and offers you the link to it.

You are also asking it the wrong forum this is the theme forum you will get better replies in the Q&A forum. Mods need to move this thread there.
