Official Thread: Official Gingerbread Rooted!

[Loooney2ns]

Everything went smoothly. Went from stock .340 rooted to .596 using method 2. No wipe, everything works perfectly. Still rooted too!

Is it absolutely imperative that I SBF back to stock Froyo? I have a nandroid backup of a clean 2.3.340 Froyo install. Couldn't I simply use DX bootstrapper to load that back on, then get rid of DX and download D2 bootstrapper?

if your are running a GB leak right now u need a SBF

Any word if we need to do a Date/Cache wipe and Factory reset to go from Rooted 595 to Deo 596?

you do not have to wipe if coming from 588/591/595

you should note that if flashing over 595 you may get a hang at the eye for quite a while. A battery pull did the trick for me.

Nope, not running GB of any kind, just rooted, ROM'd 2.3.340 Froyo.

Yes, you don't have to sbf if you have a stock nandroid backup.

Just did mine and sat at the red eye for 5-7 minutes, then it loaded up just fine. Was just about to do a battery pull ...

Can a mirror be posted for gingerbread deo? I'm having trouble getting it to download through rapidshare.

I attempted to do the Froyo update. Was using the TBH app, and first sbf'd (using the .zip) to make sure I was on 2.3.340 stock. I then used the TBH app to download the 2 parts, and followed the instructions here to update to 4.5.496, and after rebooting, I was stuck in Bootloader with the following error code: err:A5,69,35,00,27.

Any insight on why this isn't working? I have sbf'd back to 340, and will wait to try again.

Thanks for any help...
