Ok I am not new to comps but just got my droid and found out about rooting hem and installing new roms and considering I can tell this phone has more power then its using this interests me how do I go about doing this Sent from my DROIDX using DroidForums App
First thing would be rooting the phone. If you haven't already done so, go Google z4root root apk. Its an app that will root your phone for you. Instal it and use it to root. tappin and a talkin
Check the links in my sig....there are links to the downloads there along with instructions for installation. Spaz....you are very fast man....very fast indeed.
Once you're rooted, if you plan on flashing a new rom, there are a few essential tools you need. First you'll without question need to grab the droid x bootstrapper. You can find it in the market for $2 or on the developers website. Next, since flashing a rom requires a data wipe, you'll want to grab titanium backup. It will allow you to backup your apps and data to more easily and reliably restore them. The free version works but the paid version is easier and more comprehensive. Then the optional apps include SMS backup and restore for getting back your SMS affter a wipe. tappin and a talkin
Ok and I heard u need to download the rims with the comp is that true or can I use the phone to do it Sent from my DROIDX using DroidForums App
I havent used a computer once for anything droid related. All you need it for is sbf flashing if you screw up. Other than that you can do it all in phone. tappin and a talkin
