If I want to go from the CRBB build do I need to reflash CRA8 first or can I put CRC1 on my SD card and just update that way without flashing back

You'll want to find the DREAIMG.nbh file for your region US or EU
Make sure your sdcard is formatted as FAT32, place the file on your card
Turn off your phone
Boot your phone with camera + power
Allow your phone to flash the file
Now you're back on stock android RC29 for US or RC7 for EU
Wait..... for your OTA updates and eventually you'll be back on 1.6
After the 2.2 update which included a newer radio, service on my Droid got measurably worse in my area. Am I able to roll the radio back or will that brick my phone? What are my options?

This is the Motorola Droid1 thread. On the Droid1 you must have root access to change the phones baseband. To do this you must first download Rom Manager from the Market. Click on the option to flash clockwork recovery then make sure you do a Back Up in case you mess something up you can always flash back to your phone the way it is now. Go into basebands and choose the one you want or find them on the forums searches and download them to your SD card then go into Rom Manager and flash a new baseband from your SD card or Rom Managers list. You can also boot into recovery manually and then select the new baseband file from SD card and install that way. Hope this helps.
I have been reading for days and days. i am a noobie and i hope i don't try anybodies patience. I have not been able to find a basic enough answer to my possible delima. I rooted my captivate installed titanium backup and rom manager. I then flashed cwm and was successful. so I down loaded cognition to my computer and put it on my sd card. I turned off my phone took out my sim card and external sd card. i turned the phone back on in recovery mode and I wiped all, then got into cwm and installed cognition. It is great, but i am worried about when it degrades over time and i get the itch again to flash my rom that i made a grave mistake. i am pretty sure that i don't have a stock backup to go to before my next flash and if i download one from the internet then it won't be rooted and i will have to go through the whole process all over. i do have a backup of cog v3.04 on my sd. I wil want to flash another rom pretty soon but don't quite know how to proceed but am tempted to just do the same process i did to put cog on,(put the zip file on my sd and manually boot into recovery get into cwm and install new rom zip. any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance.
It is easy, and you never have to root again.
You have a file on your sd
update.zip
As long as you have this on your sd you can get into clockwork. When on stock just get into recovery and reinstall packages twice
To get back to stock you need to use odin. depending on your build number determines which odin is best. Build number can be located under the battery, something like 1008
Flashing stock is not as needed as some say. I have flashed several roms without going back to stock.

thanks for fast reply
wow that was fast, i should have posted days ago,all of that reading was running my head around in circles. Just one more question. If i use odin don't i lose root. I also have read many warnings about flashing custom roms without returning to stock, but logically that makes me think i would have to root the stock rom every time before flashing the new rom. Maybe thats a dumb question but i am just trying to be careful and delay my first softbrick experience. thanks again.
Saving the update.zip gives you clockwork recovery without root. You can flash another rom straight from there.
With the new kernels that are out flashing stock is not needed as the built in recovers understand ext 4. I flash stock occasionally for no real reason. If I am making a major change like going from js3 base to armani base I tend to flash stock, if for no other reason piece of mind

I'm running V10d of the LG Firmware, but have rooted the phone and installed CWM so could make a nandroid backup - should i remove the root and CWM to be able to update the phone from LG
i know some may say just put a different rom on it, but after installing CM7.1 I kept getting memory errors so tried modaco's rom and that trashed the phone and memory card causing me to lose nandroid backup and my 8gb memory card. first time this has ever happened when rooting a phone and installing a different rom
regards
good question! do i need to unroot my phone to upgrade it to 2.3
No. No need to unroot.
Hey guys, hope you can help me here. I was always on Viperone and now went back to stock Android. I had a TWRP Backup of latest Original Rom I made begin of this year.
When I flash back the backup of original rom everything works fine, but when I do a factory reset then the phone alwys loses the write permission on the internal SD card.
I always need to download an app to fix it, but this isn't really a workable solution because I wanna sell this phone.
This Phone still has the root, I did not go completely back to stock.
Is there any way to fix this problem completely?
