About LinkBacksAs simple as that headline is I want to run Gingerbread on my OG. I see a lot of things saying they crash and such. Was wondering if someone could guide me through and give me step for step on how to do this? I am a noob, and don't really want to brick my phone.
unrooted........ soon

03-03-2011 03:26 PMI may be wrong but if you want to install GB you need to root your phone then install one of the custom GB roms. Since your initial post said "unrooted.....soon" I'm not clear if your phone is rooted or not.

03-03-2011 04:26 PMI don't think Z4root even works on the Vortex anymore since it updated to FRG83D. I know that doesn't work on the D1 any longer. Motocache1's guide is the best and easiest way for that

The link provided above on rooting your Droid is correct. Apparently you will need external links for the update.zip and probably for RSD Lite. Let us know and we'll help you out if this is the case. Also, if you are running a Mac or Linux the install will be quite different. -

03-03-2011 04:34 PMI have windows and I am sure I want to root this bad boy and have some fun. If I can get a full break down including places I need to go to get certain software would be great too. And if someone is willing to give me a number so I can call them if I have any trouble would be awesome too. And I want to know if I can get the blur based Motorola apps like the Droid 2 and X have. My email is analgas@yahoo.com any help would be great, root me!
unrooted........ soon
