Vid: GummyCharged 2.1


I struggle sometimes reading through 40, 50 and even 60 posts through multiple websites to build my understanding of Android. I really appreciate the friendly atmosphere of the Androiders. In order to help cut down on questions and speed up the learning curve of those like me who need a visual aid, here is a video for you.

This video shows how to install the new GummyCharged Gingerbread 2.1 ROM. It is a super fast ROM for root users. Read all the show notes, watch the video, go to Rootzwiki and read the forums. Then after that try this out once you are confident. Do not miss any steps as a little one may cause your phone to get stuck. This video is for users who are already on GummyCharge Froyo 2.0.

I am not affiliated with TeamGummy. I am just a user trying to help out others. It is my understanding that TeamGummy wants all their stuff managed over on Rootzwiki, so you must follow the links to there for all the downloads and forum questions.

Donate to these guys! Help them to keep the ROMs coming!

While it is not needed, it is recommended that you install EP1W radios

Settings - About phone - Baseband version - look at the last three characters. There are 2 sets - as there are 2 modem/radios (CDMA, LTE).

Please Wipe Data regardless of what ROM you come from

Do not use themes from previous GBE releases you will get a bootloop

Install - CWM only:
Make sure you have root and Clockwork recovery installed
-boot into recovery via Recovery
-select "wipe data/factory reset"
-select advanced and "wipe Dalvik Cache"
-select "Yes - delete all data" for each one
-go back
-select "install zip from sdcard"
-select "choose zip from sdcard"
-find and select GummyCharged GBE 2.0
-let phone do its thing and then reboot
-if like me - pull battery once screen is dead
-put battery back and go into recovery
-find and select GummyCharge GBE 2.1
-let phone do its thing and then reboot
-if like me - pull battery once screen is dead
-put battery back and go into recovery
-select advanced and "wipe Dalvik Cache" (must do!)
-select "wipe data/factory reset" (skip this step unless the Dalvik wipe alone didn't fix the black screen issue)
-select "Yes - delete
-select "Yes - delete all data" for each one
-reboot and give the phone time as it will need to setup without interruption
-sign into google and begin to restore apps
-go into setting and tools to turn on preferred items like the battery %

Thank you for your videos... im on 2.0 right now.. Is there a big differnce between 2.0 and 2.1? I realize you said it was a patch, but what differences are there?.. Once again thanks for your videos

Also... Why do I need to have a epw1 modem? I looked and im at the epw4... Says I need version 1 for 2.1.. Why?

EP1W is what this rom is based on...not sure what you mean by EPW4 as there isn't such a build. The lastest releases for Gingerbread actually have 2 more builds above EP2W but Gummy is a great rom is that's what you've used and like.

Thank you KraisyDave for your videos and the time that was put into making them. However, it's important for members to be aware of some additional information regarding rooting and the process shown in the video above.

We don't want members getting confused... and the video for rooting in the OP is fairly outdated. Anyone is more than welcome to follow this process but the most current step-by-step guide for rooting is here. It roots users from EE4 (the most recent official Verizon build that is now on any stock Charge) with one of imnut's kernels, rather than using ED1 (the first build) as shown in the video. Two of imuts kernel choices will give voodoo lagfix as part of getting root access. It's also now recommended to leave the battery IN the phone when flashing anything...especially if it includes radios.

The explanation to get back to stock by flashing the same file again in the rooting video will also work...but there are now EE4 return to stock files. Unless something has gone very wrong with a flash, going all the way back to ED1 and then waiting for your phone to OTA to EE4 is not always necessary. Also, if anyone has done much modding on their phone they will need to use the PIT file for repartitioning to get back from EXT4.
